James Powderly in Eun-Jung Son
Pogovor z umetnikoma
Sreda, 18. januar, ob 19. uri
LJUDMILA, Rimska 8, 1000 Ljubljana
Rezidenčni umetniški program Kulturnega centra Tobačna 001 (Muzej in galerije mesta Ljubljane) zajema sodelovanje z nevladno organizacijo enkrat letno, tokrat z Ljudmilo. Na Ljudmilinem Digitalnem obroku se bosta v sredo, 18. januarja na začetku svojega umetniškega bivanja v Ljubljani s svojimi dosedanjimi deli predstavila James Powderly in Eun-Jung Son.
Powderly bo najprej predstavil aktivnosti v okviru Graffiti Research Lab (GRL) – umetniške skupine, ki je zavezana razvijanju in širitvi eksperimentalne odprtokodne tehnologije za urbano komuniciranje. GRL je povezana tudi s Free Art and Technology Lab (FAT Lab), ki trenutno združuje 21 hekerjev, umetnikov, programerjev, inženirjev in oblikovalcev s skupnim interesom širitve sodelovanja pri rabi javnih prostorov. Za tem bo predstavil 24-urni vzdržljivostni performans iz leta 2010, Torture Classics, uprizorjenega in v živo predvajanega prek spleta v Kreativnem centru Gyeonggi v Daebudu (Republika Koreja). Umetnik je bil podvržen grozni pop glasbi, s katero so zasičeni naši radijski valovi in mučenju s strani izkušenega zasliševalca Hansa Bernharda iz UBERMORGEN.COM. Performans je bil odmev postopkov mučenja, ki ga izvajajo številne sedanje vlade in umetnikove osebne izkušnje šestdnevnega bivanja v pekinškem zaporu v času Olimpijskih iger 2008.

Digital Dish @ Ljudmila: James Powderly and Eun-Jung Son
Artists Talk
Wednesday, January 18, at 7 PM
LJUDMILA, Rimska 8, 1000 Ljubljana
Artist in Residence program of the Tobacco 001 Cultural Centre (Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana) once a year invites a guest in cooperation with an NGO, this year with Ljudmila. James Powderly and Eun-Jung Son, the artists who have just started the residency will present their previous work at Ljudmila's Digital Dish on Wednesday, January 18.
Powderly will first introduce activities of Graffiti Research Lab (GRL) – an art group dedicated to development and dissemination of experimental open source technologies for urban communication. The GRL is also associated with Free Art and Technology Lab (FAT Lab) that currently connects 21 hackers, artists, programmers, engineers and designers who are interested in expanding the collaborative use of public spaces. Later, he will present a 24 hours endurance performance Torture Classics that was enacted live in 2010 at Gyeonggi Creation Center in Daebudo (South Korea) and streamed on-line. The artist was subjected to horrific pop music that saturates our radio waves and tortured by the experienced interrogator Hans Bernhard of UBERMORGEN.COM. The performance was a resonance of torture procedures executed by numerous governments of the present time and the artist’s personal experience of six days of incarceration in a Bejing jail during the Olympic Games in 2008. In the second part of the presentation Eun-Jung Son will speak about a special workshop method Dream Move for children combining sports, media art and programming designed to encourage physical activity.
