“Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts,
movies, presenters—there is no alternative but to fill the screen;
otherwise there would be an irremediable void…. That’s why the
slightest technical hitch, the slightest slip on the part of the
presenter becomes so exciting, for it reveals the depth of the
emptiness squinting out at us through this little window.” - Jean Baudrillard
HD Video Stills from “Star” by Alexander Reyna
“We live in a world where what we know at a basic level has been
processed, refined, and dictated to us. They are the creators of the
sounds, images, and ideas that have been processed, refined and
dictated to give us our being. They are sometimes corporations and
sometimes individuals. They all use media to make their sounds,
images, and ideas our sounds, images and ideas. They have their truth
for us. They have their meaning for us –and because it is their
meaning, it is our ‘emptiness’. ”
“My work comes from the same impulse that gave rise to the 19th century
Baudelairian notion of the “Flaneur.” I wander amongst the visual
imaginary of their images. I take them as a starting point in my art,
but I subvert the icons of their intentionality.”
“Subversion is recontextualization of hyper-designed and superficial
icons into my world of meanings. This flaneur is absurd, beatific, self
referential, corporatized but also with deeper meaning. His art
explores aspirations and dreams, hopes and fears, realities and
fantasies, truth and lies. Above all it is meant to stun, to stop you
dead in your tracks. And then you see: beauty made out of emptiness.” - Alexander Reyna
Alexander Reyna’s “Beta” (video still above) won the first ever Perpetual Art Machine Viewers Choice Award days before Scope New York 2007 . Those of you who stoped by the [PAM] booth/area @ Scope may have been lucky enough to catch a preview glimps of “Star” as Alexander was kind enough to send us a teaser (in Standard Definition) of this amzing new HD High Definition animation. We we’re excited to see the new work as well as have him win the Viewers Choice Award. We @ [PAM] have been huge fans and supporters of his work for along time.
Alexander was also given the honorary title of [PAM] “Artist at Large” due to his input and critial contributions to certain parts of this project. We look forward to working with Alexander in the future as well as his opening. We know “The Dark Hour” will be nothing short of amazing.
The Institute for Electronic Arts at the School of Art and Design at

other electronics. Some of the topics that will be covered are:
real-time video effects processing, wiring, using sensors, color and
motion-tracking, pitch-tracking, audio and data visualization, building
personalized performance instruments, building stand-alone software
applications, networking computers, experimental 2D and 3D animation,
building interactive multi-channel video installations, interactive
performance, and working with USB/MIDI controllers.
The Experimental Television Center International Summer Workshop - May 30-June 10, 2007
This immersive and collaborative 12-day video and sound art workshop
will take place at the legendary Experimental Television Center in
Owego, New York. The unique image processing system at the ETC
facilitates interactive relationships between older historically
important analog instruments and new digital technologies including:
custom built equipment by David Jones, Dan Sandin, Nam June Paik, and
others; new and vintage analog audio and video processors and
synthesizers; Max/MSP and Jitter; multiple computers; keyers,
switchers, colorizers, and other hardware; numerous studio cameras; and
dozens of other tools, all of which are connected through an
intelligent open-ended patch system. A primary goal of ETCISW is the
exploration of video as a contemporary electronic arts medium and the
promotion of collaborative art practices.
The EXPERIMENTAL TELEVISION CENTER is pleased to announce FINISHING FUNDS 2007
FINISHING FUNDS provides media and new media artists with grants up to $2,500 to help with the completion of diverse and innovative moving-image and sonic art projects, and works for the Web and new technologies. Eligible forms include film and video as single or multiple channel presentation, computer based moving-imagery and sound works, installations and performances, interactive works and works for new technologies, DVD, multimedia and the Web. We also support new media, and interactive performance. Work must be surprising, creative and approach the various media as art forms; all genres are eligible, including experimental, narrative and documentary art works. Individual artists can apply directly to the program and do not need a sponsoring organization. Applicants must be residents of New York State; undergraduate students are not eligible. The application requires a project description, resume and support materials, including a sample of the proposed project. Selection is made by a peer review panel. About $25,000 is awarded each year. Announcement is made in early June.
The program is supported in part by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a public agency, and by mediaThe foundation.
Postmark Deadline: March 15, 2007
Guidelines and applications are available on the web at http://www.experimentaltvcenter.org/ in the ETC News Section and the Grants area or by mail or email.
It goes without saying that [PAM] knows what love is…Georges Bataille stated it best in his short piece titled The Solar Anus (see below) but we we're tickled pink to find out about We Know What love is.com which is a project that is putting out the call for short films and videos about LOVE.
[PAM] is so excited about February and not because it's the month of Valentines Day or the fact that we are doing Scope NYC at the Lincon Center (we have our own call for work for that too) we're excited because it's the month of love….no really we are.
excerpt from The Solar Anus
"An abandoned shoe, a rotten tooth, a snub nose, the cook spitting in the soup of his masters are to love what a battle flag is to nationality.
An umbrella, a sexagenarian, a seminarian, the smell of rotten eggs, the hollow eyes of judges are the roots that nourish love.
A dog dog devouring the stomach of a goose, a drunken vomiting woman, a sobering accountant, a jar of mustard represent the confusion that serves as the vehicle of love."
- Georges Bataille
Call for work
We Know What Love Is.com is looking for short, personal films which are expressions and interpretations of love.
We want intimate points of view, and this site is unrated so the piece can be provocative and innovative. Feel free to make your film simple and basic, or complex and produced. Just make sure to keep the concept and point of view strong and pure.
We Know What Love Is.com is a web site featuring short films by people or couples expressing what is unique about their relationship and why it works for them. Love is different things to different people, and what excites one person is of no interest to another. But everyone is searching for what moves them and makes them feel complete.
We Know What Love Is.com is part of CrushedPlanet.com , the web environment which is being created by the producers of Taxicab Confessions. In a world of brain numbing entertainment, Crushed Planet is creating original programming, as well as seeking out talented and groundbreaking artists from around the world.
This short film about your view of love can be as mainstream or as “out there” as you want it to be. We are interested in unflinching honesty and very personal views of intimacy and relationships. Submissions can be through whatever medium you feel comfortable with, whether it be compatible with a web-formatted outlet (.mov file), or in video/DVD format via mail.
please submit here at crushedplanet@viewfilm.com
or by mail:

This is a repost of an except that first appeared in 2000 @ Democracy The Last Campaign- http://dtlc.walkerart.org/
The article appeared in its entirety in the Fall 2000 issue of Camerawork Journal.
Prologue: A Conversation on Democracy and Images, Out of Time, with Walt Whitman, George Eastman, and Paul Virilio
Whitman: Curious word, “Kodak.” What is a Kodak?
Eastman: Well, now it’s the name of a huge multinational corporation, but when I coined the word it was the name of a camera that anyone could use.
Whitman: Splendid! A tool for democracy! Image-making for the common man! But what does the word actually mean?
Eastman: It doesn’t mean anything. I just wanted a name that couldn’t be misspelled or mispronounced in any language - a brand name for the global market. But the Kodak actually cost a lot of money and only the rich could afford to use it. I called the real first camera for everyone a “Brownie.”
Whitman: Even better! A hobgoblin or ghost! A household spirit of good or ill. “A new cloak, a new hood/ Brownie will do no more good.” “You’ve got to be a spirit, Bullworth, can’t be no ghost.”
Eastman: Yes, well. . . Actually, it was a product tie-in to a popular series of children’s books. I just thought it would sell cameras, especially to children, and it did, like hotcakes.
Whitman: But it also brought about a new democracy of images, did it not? When everyone could make their own pictures, they could remake themselves in their own image, and produce a history from which there would be no appeal.
Virilio: History has been created through stories and the memories of individuals having witnessed certain events. Today, however, the media no longer exists as narratives but rather as flashes and images. History is therefore being reduced to images.
Whitman: I told Matthew Brady that his photographs of the Civil War would change the way history is written. But the real war never got into the books. When I first published Leaves of Grass in 1855, I put a photograph of myself opposite the title page, instead of my name. It was a snapshot of me, standing - casual, sensual, direct - you know, one of the roughs. I wanted the whole book to be a daguerreotype of my inner being. I said, “What is commonest, cheapest, nearest, easiest, is Me.” Like a photograph. I loved being photographed, especially by my friend Gabriel Harrison. I always thought that photography would someday become one of the great expressions of an ecstatic, erotic democracy. And you, Brother George, made that happen!
Eastman: Whitman, you missed your calling - you should have been in advertising. Advertising is the business of bullshit, and you have a real talent for it. All that sentimental crap about “the people” is good for only one thing: to move more product. Your “vision” of democracy is pure folderol. What the people want is to get something for nothing. If you can convince them that they’re getting something for nothing, they’ll line up like lambs to slaughter, and make you rich. I did it with the Brownie camera in 1900. Convinced them they were getting “memories preserved” for one dollar. “The people” en masse are greedy, vain, lazy, and selfish. All they ever meant to me was numbers in an account book. I didn’t get to be one of the wealthiest men in the world by appealing to their “higher selves.”
Virilio: But you did, inadvertently or no. You made them look at the world differently and this made the world different. You engendered the possibility that if everyone took photographs themselves, they would learn how images worked and wouldn’t be tyrannized by them. You took the means of production of representation out of the hands of experts and put it into the hands of the common person.
Eastman: Look, I did that because the “experts,” the professional photographers, wouldn’t buy my products. They said they were inferior. So I thought that if ordinary people could take pictures, maybe they wouldn’t be so goddamned fussy. And they weren’t. As I said, people are lazy. Something for nothing. “You press the button, we do the rest.”
Virilio: Things have gone far beyond that now: from the box camera to the cinema, to television, and now the Internet. You still had human beings holding the means of production in their hands and pressing the button to make images that had something to do with them. But the button soon became the one on a remote control, able only to change channels and increase the volume. Everything speeded up. All resistance was eventually overwhelmed by the speed and frequency of transmissions. The democratic impulse has been reduced to this: voting every second with your finger on the button. With the Internet, this reduction is hyped as a great democratic revolution, but it is the ruin of democracy. It replaces the practice of democracy with its image - an eidolon without a body.
Whitman: But such images matter a great deal! We can’t have democracy without first having the imagination of democracy!
Virilio: Yes, if it is the people’s imagination. But today everything is imagined for them, in images manufactured like any other consumer product and beamed into every living American room. Because of how these images are made and transmitted, they displace the democratic idea rather than inspiring it. They turn it into its opposite. One of the most retroactively cynical statements in history came from your second president, who said the trouble with democracy is that people get the government they deserve.
Eastman: Excuse my anachronism, but I just saw a spokesman for Eastman Kodak on TV talking about the importance of free trade to China. He said China is now the second largest market for consumer photographic materials in the world, after the U.S. So, the Last Commies want to take pictures, too. Democracy has no special claim to this. The age of the omnipotent image is post-political. Wake up and smell the Starbucks, gentlemen, this is business.
Virilio: And as the business of consumption has come to replace the social, freedom of choice is reduced to consumer preferences. As the new leader (and former KGB cop) of that old simulacrum of the social, Russia, said recently, “Voters shouldn’t be asked to choose between candidates as between products, like Tampax or Snickers.”
Eastman: What are those?
Virilio: Code names for Gore and Bush.
Whitman: I sing to the last the equalities modern or old, I sing the endless finales of things, I say Nature continues, glory continues, I praise with electric voice, For I do not see one imperfection in the universe, And I do not see one cause or result lamentable at last in the universe.
Eastman: Bill Gates is my progeny. . . and my revenge.

[PAM] would like to thank all the people who made our recent outing at the Miami Art Fairs a big success. The list of people and organizations is long and we'll have an in depth re-cap later but in short we would like to thank : All of the [PAM] artists, Scope: Alexis Hubshman and staff, Art|Basel : Micheal Rush and staff. Monica and the Gen Art staff, the kind people at WPS1 Radio, The Flamingo Apartments, and all the night clubs and bars that [PAM] trashed (sorry about the Delano [dNASAb] send us the bill). The Mobile Media Vehicle. Below is a brief photo recap of [PAM] in Miami 2006.

OK- now to the news. The smoke is churning out of the virtual offices/studios/labs of [PAM] as we gear up for two simultaneous shows December 7 to 10th 2006 in Miami florida as we take on both Art|BAsel & Scope at the same time *.
As we build new jitter patches, tweaks the data bases, load the [PAM] installation with new video’s, there are 200 or so new ones ***, edit the “best-of/demo reel” for Art|Basel **, and code the mobi site…we just want to send out a reminder of events your fellow [PAM] members are involved in and that are happening right now.
We’re super happy to see C-TRL Labs get a feature on The Apple Pro web site and even more happy to see they were cool enough to have the article link to back to [PAM]. Thanks Nika and Devan!
Although C-TRL Lab have been a part of the project for a while and live here in NYC we didn’t actually meet in person until we ran into them at the Name Festival in Lille France. Experiences like that remind us of the potential of social networks such as [PAM]. We encourage all of our members to link up, network, and contact each other because its surprising what happens there after.
Speaking of the power of social networks - G.H. Hovagimyan will be interviewing/performing with Christina McPhee in what can best be called an Artist Talk at Sara Tecchia Roma New York on November 16th @ 6:30 . We’re encouraging everyone to drop what they’re doing and attend the event. Both artists are engaged in important dialogues and art practices and their talk/performance should not be missed. Hence the reason why we are announcing this show for a second time. Besides, Sara Tecchia is very cool and her gallery and the surrounding galleries on the same floor of said building are exhibiting some really great work right now. Again, don’t miss it, [PAM] will be there so stop by and to meet up with us.
Lastly, send us your announcements and we will do our best to send it out to the group in a timely fashion. You are also welcome to post it in our blog section in . Your [PAM] account allows such things, so please use it. Hint: these controls are on you “user menu” after you log in.
Best Regards,
[PAM] - Chris, Aaron, Raphaele, & Lee
*** new members since August 2006 we’ll be contacting you shortly for hi-res versions of your videos.
** Art|Basel selections will be contacted individually.
* There’s still time to get in both of these show - upload - or have artists you know join !
Broadway Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Hackworth Ashley’s debut NYC exhibit, curated by Steven Psyllos the exhibition will feature Ashley’s controversial “Celebrity Fantasy” series of paintings, as well his video work, photography, music, sculpture and collage. ADHD is the first inkling of the human mind adjusting to the current oversaturation of stimuli in the modern world. The brain is mutating to become equipped to cope and I think the condition should be cultivated, not medicated. “This series of images is a representation of a transformational stage in the things that I make. I spent a long time working on my “Celebrity Fantasy” series but am now exploring a way to envelope everything I do: Music, moving image and still-image making. I’m constantly switching between mediums and am trying to master the art of multi-tasking by harnessing the powers of ADHD. This is a showcase of the different narrative paths that I could take. Being bombarded everyday with a multitude of images, sounds and sensations only makes me want to produce a multitude of images, sounds and sensations.” Hackworth Ashley

Ryan Seslow: The Activation Portals-3 Simultaneous Installations
Apparently there are 3 exhibitions all happening at once. How do we describe this ? It’s overwhelming and everywhere. We’re sorry to have not gotten this announcement out sooner but we we’re really confused.
More interesting is Ryan’s “the-rms-movement” which in his own words is described as “the conscious ongoing NOW moment of oneness. Through the thoughts of implied intention,visualization, and the consistant rising of vibration,…as a physical consciousness, the-rms-movement is a multidisciplinary universal awareness co-creating life through the understanding of “We become what we think “. The physical experience is finite, provoking simultaneous aspects of one’s self to examine the potentialities of tangible materials in relationship to its surroundings and desires. The ongoing movement serves as a portal to activate and expand the creative potential of every human being it encounters”Here are the exhibition venues:

“We’re keeping one foot in the commercial world and one in the fine art world — we want to go down both roads.”– Nika Offenbeck.
It goes without saying that the Apple Pro Profile is more-or-less a plug for Apple products but that’s not to say the profile should not be read. In fact, there are a lot of juicy nuggets of both tech info dispensed by Devan Simunovich as well as an invauable dialog about approaches to aesthetics and art practice that are described by Nika Offenbac.
Here are some memorable quotes from Nika Offenbac:
About the Microvert series of Animations:
– “The idea comes from the William Gibson book ‘Pattern Recognition,’ in which a series of single frames, which viewers assume are part of a larger film, are released on the Internet. We’re releasing these tiny films on the Internet so that, over time, people can piece them together and interpret the narrative.”-
- “We’re creating these pieces in no particular order. They’re glimpses of action in moments of time. We don’t have a scripted narrative structure laid out in the usual way, with a plot path that goes from conflict to resolution. Instead, the narrative is associative — the way our minds work. Our films present you with these disparate images and your mind draws together a story based on your own experiences.”
On the Topic of Art and Technology:
– “In our fast, high-tech world, we tend to deal with representations of things more frequently than we deal with the actual thing. So we like to pull that into question. My own idea of a ‘natural environment’ is a city — like many people, I’m more comfortable on concrete than in the middle of a desert. So this fabricated world has become our natural world. And many of our pieces deal with that.”
“Trauma, Performance and Documentary: Christina McPhee in
conversation with G. H. Hovagimyan”
Multimedia artist Christina McPhee talks with G.H. Hovagimyan on performance, site, and ‘bare life’ in new media documentary. Now on view, McPhee’s “La Conchita mon amour” is a study of debris flow and its aftermath, in photography, audio-video installation, drawing and interactive net. G. H. Hovagimyan’s video performances update the punk rant aesthetic into live and networked media.

Richard Dawkins was on Stephen Colbert the other night talking aboutthe New Atheism. There's also a cover article on the New Atheism forWired this November - http://www.wired.com/news/wiredmag/1,71985-0.html. With all the religious fascists in the US and aroundthe world maybe it's right to try and establish a religion ofreason. If we could end ignorance and superstition and establish aworld base on the universal declaration of human rights; that is aworthwhile goal.
Sounds really risqué but it was flat except for a couple of bright
spots like video-dumbo curated by Gabriela Moray & Casper Stracke.

I also stumbled upon an information artist named Graham Parker.
EXHIBITION
The best show in town is at Sara Tecchia's 529 West 20th Street (2ndFloor) It's Christina McPhee's La Conchita Mon Amour. http://saratecchia.com/
Christina has re-framed the debate on earth art by using digital
media. She performs the media in Photoshop and FCP. She also knows
how to draw. I could go on and on about how critically important she
is but see for yourself.
