In/Compatible Vernaculars: V ulgar and Trivial Articulations of Networked Communication panel with Florian Cramer, Olia Lialina, Camille Paloque-Berges, Dragan Espenschied. Moderated by Rosa Menkman (nl) 04.02.2012: 16:00 – 17:30 Over the last decade, the history of the web and all its “common” qualities, its digital folklore, has become a growing field of study. The role of the user giving form to his medium (its materials, customs, ideologies and aesthetic structures, which are closely connected to visual, textual and audio cultures) has become key to this research. Moreover, these coarse or unrefined DIY-fabrications have become (re-)appraised treasures or relics of amateur culture. This panel will reflect on different on/offline (dead and alive) DIY-networks focusing on their vulgar vernaculars, ideologies and customs, and on how we came to appraise them, taking us from geocities, to hyves and 4chan, from old to new networked vernaculars.

In/Comaptible Aesthetics: Uncorporated Subversion. ( Transmediale.de ) Panel with: Michael Dieter (au/nl), Jussi Parikka (fi/uk), Julio D'Escrivan (ve/uk) and jon.satrom (us).  Moderated by Rosa Menkman (nl). 03.02.2012: 16:00 - 17:30 "Today, the average user is obliged to stay on top of the technological curve, thrust into a vortex of consumer myths, riding waves of both euphoria and disappointment. This has prompted artists and theorists alike to break these assured flows of media, for instance by zooming into the otherwise transparent Human Computer Interface and turning its limiting, characteristic blueprints into a revolting yet delightful spectacle. On other occasions, artists bend particular devices, or even create completely new technologies. Through these subversive tactics artists show the governing filters of not only noise, but also “unwanted functionalities”, and how limiting these shiny black-boxed commodities have become. This panel will pay special attention t...

REMAINS IN THE END TIMES . With YOSHI SODEOKA, ROSA MENKMAN, DANIEL MENCHE, JK KELLER, CRISTOPHER CICHOCKI. December 2, 2011 — January 5, 2012, Florida, US.  Dazed and Confused interview.  Tell us about your upcoming group exhibition, ‘Remains in the End Times’. What work are you including in the show? Is it all new pieces? In "Remains In the End Times" I will show my work next to some respected friends and colleges. The exhibition is about what Zizek has described as "the myth of the end of the world" - the myth of the total collapse. According to Zizek, in fact, we are already there; the movements triggered by the collapse are moving slow and fast at the same time: meltdowns, the development of 'better' pepper sprays, standardized sweatshop models, corporate dark fiber scraping and ionospheric research facilities are just some examples of this. At the same time massive, drifting occupational movements, favela chic and new glitch genres and communities are ...

I am not sure if I can translate 2011, full of ups and downs, highs and lows - personal, politically, professional:3ps.stress.. lows, lows, highs highs, dudu, lala, ...sleeplessness... but right now, from where I stand, it looks like most people sang some version of the 2011-torch songs anyway so I dont think I have to sing that song anymore... or... actually, I did already anyway. After all, here is my stubborn, only positive, egocentric breakdown: 3 solo exhibitions ( Order and Progress ,  The Vernacular of File Formats and Collapse of PAL ) 2 Months of Brasil, 1,5 months of Vienna, a little less then a month of US, 4 months of home, the rest at the side of knowhere, My face on the cover of a catalogue , some dead-tree publications ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ,9) The Collapse of PAL reviewed by Jussi Parikka I won a " Best practice " award Besides that, the things I made: I organized the  Filtering Failure exhibition,  together with Julian van Aalderen (...
