atelier KUNSTKOMMT!
Michelle Adolfs & Petra Mueller

Bio
Michelle Adolfs (*1972) and Petra Mueller (*1969) work as visual artists and social scientists by the name of atelier KUNSTKOMMT!. The German artists team concentrates mainly on the impact of digital media on everyday life culture in images and values. Since 1996 they explore forms of media communication and their relationships to materiality. The art works originate in multiple formats including the web, installation, video, performance, photography, painting, objects. Their website www.kunstkommt.de presents current projects as well as an archive of previous works.

Project Information:
The webvideo project “deep-claps” is a download platform with video clips about aphorisms as cultural shared wisdom. Everyone knows some — aphorisms are used almost inflationary. As a central part of our culture aphorisms are an indicator of meaning and thinking in society. There are some very deep and dark tellings, which play diffuse roles in everyday communication.

We are searching for emotional ambivalences in the combination of word and image. The globalization with a simple English translation of words forces an isolation from cultural references and meanings. In short video clips the metaphors of mostly German aphorisms are transferred into absurd scenes. What is in these thoughts with so called “deep” truth?

The clips are published as edition online via www.deep-claps.de. With a “download and send to a friend” they travel around the world …

Artist
Krista Connerly

Bio
What forms of intimacy take place in the city? How can poetry replace efficiency? These questions drive the work of new media artist and poetic sociographer Krista Connerly. To investigate these questions Connerly works in a variety of media including the internet, video, photography, and sound. However, through whatever media she uses, Connerly seeks to turn “art viewer” into collaborator, provoking forms of interaction that through humor and poetry temporarily override the efficiency and rationality of contemporary life. Her work has been featured in a range of international venues, including, the WOW Women’s International Film Festival in Sydney, Australia, the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, the New Museum’s online art community Rhizome and its Net Art News, The Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Michigan, Cultronix, online journal of art and culture and the Next Wave Festival in Melbourne, Australia where it won a BifTek Wink Award.

Project Information
Weather-Call Service offers a mobile weather activation service provided through cell-phone text messaging. The system gives up to date instructions on how to interact with and create weather systems. Responses from participants, including text messages and cell-phone photos can be sent directly from their phone to our weather map, creating a dynamic picture of how participants are using their weather instructions. for more visit:

Version 2 of this project will include a different way of visualizing the information on the weather map. It is not yet complete.

Project Information
rantapod is a video meditation. It talks about art, politics and philosophy. It contains 3 minute rants or ruminations by G.H. Hovagimyan. It is highly experimental in it’s discussion and outlook. Contrary to Post Modernism’s simulation and irony this is a serious ongoing investigation. It strips away all artifice and presents a minimal/punk video discourse. The series is an outgrowth or continuation of GH’s conceptual and network performance starting in the 1970’s. It also refines and extends the concerns of his 21st century performances such as: Palm Rants and rant/ rant back/ back rant.

Katie Lips

BIO
Katie Lips has worked with Netmedia for several years having a traditional arts background with diverse skills across digital arts and creative commerce. Educated at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, and DeMontfort University, she has developed a strong interest in user interaction in mobile spaces. 

Katie’s work with Digital media is centred around the concept of the ‘user as content creator’, the notion that we all create art and communications without necessarily trying. Katie uses technology to capture these streams of consciousness and to display them offering new views on the personal private mobile world. 

160 Project Description 

160 is an archive of 160 SMS messages that I have treasured in the past 18 months. These messages, of up to 160 characters each have been sent to me from my boyfriend, sister, parents, and friends, from phone companies and people offering me SMS porn. 

The messages are unedited, a snapshot of what people have been sending me, telling me, asking me. These are my messages, but not my messages, they are not what I have written, but what I have collected, and chosen to keep. These things mean something to me, as do so many messages to so many people. 

Whilst we know what we send by SMS, and we know what we receive, we do not have any idea what other people get, how other people compose messages; we have no view into other people’s phones. As a Digital Artist, I was keen to explore this with the development of treasuremytext (www.treasuremytext.com). This project ‘160′ is 160 of my messages stored on treasuremytext. It is a snapshot made available for anyone else to browse how they choose, to make their own judgements about me, my text life, and the people who send me messages. 

Most of us have to delete SMS messages we have received from our phones, this collection demonstrates the powerful nature both in the important messages and the mundane ones that can be tracked back over an extended period of time. Without treasuring these messages they would have been lost, but now have a new life as a text archive which can live away from the mobile phone. 

The availability of messages for others to take away using their iPod offers people voyeuristic opportunities to explore the content of this work, to try to construct their own stories around the messages they find, to identify their own meaning to build their own picture of those whose mobile lives have touched mine. Much of the content of my messages is humorous, throw away, perhaps pointless; this hints at what the rest of us carry around in our pockets but never show anyone else. 

Whilst it is possible to get content off a phone onto a computer, or onto a website, this project extends the possibilities for viewing mobile art by making this content available on iPod. iPod is used as the viewing device, offering greater control for the audience. The use of iPod also raises questions about ownership of artistic content, each user creates a new version by the act of downloading and viewing the work.

Kate Pemberton

BIO
My practice addresses the cultural effects that technology has on society. My current interest is in the status of craft objects in an age of electronic consumerist culture. I identify crossovers between computer graphics, and craft techniques, and explore these by making tangible art objects. 

My latest projects suggest an emotive, quirky, humorous aspect of functional computer graphics and of electronic devices by drawing parallels between their form and function and the techniques and meanings embraced in traditional needle crafts. 

I concern myself with the visual appeal of machines and electronics. I am interested in how they are considered as objects of desire, in terms of their fabrication, capabilities, and the status they give the individuals that own them. 

The catalogue section of http://endfile.com has visual and written reference to my Individual projects.
