Utopia and Monument - On the validity of art between privatisation and the public sphere.
7. October 2009, 10:37:48 unter Austria, English, Festivals, Graz, Interviews, Podcasts, Steirischer Herbst, VideoPublic space is both a battlefield and stage for those visions and ideas in which a society puts its faith. At a distance, it also discloses that which is blindly supported in this society. One can survey it as if it were a kind of societal relief, or a contemporary witness of history, as it reveals both conscious and unconscious orders and structures.

In those times when the common faith in ideas is particularly strong, signs of this faith are placed into public space in the form of monuments which make beliefs concrete to us, alert us of the destructive power of faith, and signal the successful displacement of other beliefs. more »
Julius von Bismarck - Everything and nothing
26. August 2009, 17:32:29 unter Berlin, German, Germany, Podcasts, Portraits, VideoHis works are inventions, usually connecting technology and software and interactive works of art. To some, says Julius von Bismarck, he’s a designer, to others, an artist, and for the other third, an inventive aristocrat. He has enjoyed success in his work, regardless of which category he is put under, because what he creates is not only exceptional on a technical level, it is also imaginative, confrontational, and critical of society and unexpected at the same time.

He calls this work his “apparatus for a minimally invasive manipulation of photography”. This pistol-like device is like a reversely functioning camera which operates via a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it. During Barack Obama’s international election campaign appearance at the Berlin Siegessäule, he used the device to project a bright cross on the lectern, which appears in all other photographs taken of it at the same time. He also used it to project the image of a dove, a symbol of peace, onto Tiananmen Square (Gate of Heavenly Peace), which would then appear in other’s photos of the portrait of Mao. In 2008, von Bismarck received the Ars Electronica award for interactive art for the Fulgurator. more »
