User:Eleanorg/Works I've Enjoyed

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki

This is a record of works I've enjoyed in each month - not ones that have been newly made, but that I have encountered or re-encountered, and struck a chord at this particular time. It's an attempt to overcome my terrible memory for names; a crib sheet for tutorials, etc.


Jan 2012

  • 10,000 Copyrighted Images, Richard Wright
Deceptively simple format; bases a critique of copyright in age of 'information overload' on human perceptive capability
  • ExtInked, UHC Collective
Beautiful use of volunteers in ritual-like format; demands long-term commitment; participants are 'witnesses not spectators' a la Etchells

Dec 2011

Meditation on collective mind; integration of pre-designed elements with live data; creation of physical space from virtual subject
Strong conceptual linking of hardware/body to 'virtuality'; not just conceptual but visually engaging
Beautiful abstract, minimalist exploration of the physical medium of 'the internet' and its glitches
  • With You (various performances)
Thoughtful integration of performance into social media; 'fake'/hijacked identity; nice solution to documentation in USB format
