Doppelgänger. Centre d'Arts Santa Mònica, Barcelona
05 Oct — 12 Nov 2017
Exhibition of works produced during artistic residency in Baden-Württemberg and Catalonia (2015-2016)
The Baden-Württemberg/Catalonia scholarship is the result of an initiative by Goethe-Institut Barcelona in collaboration with Hangar, Centre d'Arts Santa Mònica (Santa Mònica Art Centre), Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart and Kunststiftung Stuttgart. The program, which aims to support the development of artwork emerging from the context of each of the participating centres and institutions, foster interregional exchange between artists from Baden-Württemberg and Catalonia and promote dialogue between both artistic communities and their respective collective social classes, is supported by the Ministry of Sciences, Research and Art of Land Baden-Württemberg and the Ministry of Culture of the Government of Catalonia.
The inauguration of Doppelgänger will take place on 5th October 2017, at 7pm at Centre d’Arts Santa Mònica. The word Doppelgänger stems from the German terms "double" and "walker", essentially a lookalike that walks beside us. In addition to the featuring of the participating projects, the artistic exchange program Baden Württemberg i Catalunya will also be presented. The participants’ artwork will be on display until 12th November, and features: Alán Carrasco, Bea Stach, Diego Paonessa, Mario Santamaría, Oskar Klinkhammer, Luis Guerra Miranda, Stephan Köperl, Susanne Kudielka & Kaspar Wimberley, and Sylvia Winkler.

The Situationists formed an international artistic and political movement in 1957. The Internazionale Situazionista was founded in 1957 in Cosio di Arroscia (Italy), and remained during the Paris student revival of 1968. Situationists sought to achieve a state of continuous social revolution. Their intention was to do that by creating mass-consuming, disruptive situations, so-called happenings. The Situationists had a strong influence on the later English punk-movement.
What is the influence of the Situationists on the current generation of artists? Are the strategies used by the Situationists still usefull? Are they still understood, in a world that looks totally different from the 50's and 60's? The artists we have requested for this project are interested in public space, social processes and in disorganization. Their practice is related in a variety of ways to those of the Situationists. The artists create new work especially for this exhibition.

Los últimos 150 años hemos estado rodeados no sólo por la biósfera, sino también por un espacio de intercambio de datos e información. Vivimos en mundo conectado a nivel global en el que la biósfera y la infósfera están imbricadas y dependen la una de la otra. Este intercambio de datos, de mercancías, de pasajeros, permite cubrir las necesidades biológicas y sociales, y alcanzar las aspiraciones de más de 7 mil millones de personas. Infosphere presenta las propuestas que posicionan un grupo de artistas, diseñadores, arquitectos y científicos ante el reto crítico que implica imaginar la infósfera.
La muestra Infosphere presenta una perspectiva general del arte en la era de la revolución digital y sus consecuencias sociales. Además, proporciona percepciones acerca del nuevo mundo de datos - cuya existencia por fin salió a la luz para el público en general gracias al caso de espionaje de la Agencia Nacional de Seguridad.
Los temas de esta muestra comprenden desde la visualización de ondas electromagnéticas, la geología de los medios y la materialidad de sus infraestructuras, hasta el fenómeno cultural de la digitalización; de igual maneranivelan un análisis artístico de algoritmos, soberanía de datos, redes sociales y Big Data. Las obras que se exhiben en esta muestra presentan soluciones que artistas, diseñadores y arquitectos han encontrado al día de hoy en respuesta a los retos graves que presenta la infoesfera.

Infosphere
The Transformation of Things into Data
Fri, 26.05.2017 – Sun, 03.09.2017,
Centro National de las Artes, Mexico-City
Free entry
The »Infosphere« exhibition, originally presented in 2015-2016 at the ZKM as part of the GLOBALE, will be on display in the space of the CENART starting from May 26. It presents an overview of art in the era of the digital revolution and its social consequences. It provides insights into the new data world – whose existence has been finally brought home to the general public, through the NSA affair.
Today, people live in a globally interconnected world in which the biosphere and the infosphere are interfused and interdependent. With this neologism the technical network is meant, from radio to the Internet, which covers the globe and enables global exchange of data as well as the organization of transport for people and goods. Without the global traffic in data, goods, and passengers it would be impossible to meet the biological and social needs and aspirations of over seven billion people. Against this backdrop, contemporary art operating in the thematic field of big data is especially significant.
The exhibition in its version for CENART will show works from the ZKM Collection, further projects offering new perspectives on the digital sphere, and a film program which will add critical reflections on the contemporary digital age. Credits

No secrets! – Images of Surveillance
Since Edward Snowden’s disclosures, no-one has been in any doubt about the existence of widespread digital surveillance and monitoring. However, it is not intelligence agencies alone that obtain data from our use of media technologies. Automated analysis of electronic processes, events and communications is also employed to interpret people’s behavior in the “Internet of Things” and the mind-blowing world of “Big Data”.
The highly emotive and controversial topic of surveillance is the subject of a two-part exhibition at the Münchner Stadtmuseum and the Munich ERES Foundation.
The Münchner Stadtmuseum exhibition begins with a historical overview of the related phenomena of location surveillance and identity checking by government and private actors. The introduction of public street lighting may well have helped to make our streets safer, but it has also served as an instrument of power. The standardization of criminal photography by Alphonse Bertillon in the 1880s and the use of fingerprinting from 1900 onwards have made it easier for the police to establish the identity of an individual. These techniques are the forerunners of modern-day video surveillance.
When photographers such as Nadar or James Wallace Black started boarding hot-air balloons around the middle of the 19th century, their aerial photographs provided viewers with completely new mind-boggling experiences. Today, however, such images generated by satellites and drones are seen as part of a quintessentially omniscient surveillance aesthetic.
The main body of the exhibition features contemporary works including photographs, videos, paintings, posters and installations, with some works also referring back to historical surveillance. Hyojoo Jang’s “Panopticon” video, for example, references Jeremy Bentham’s 18th-century circular penitentiary designed so that inmates would be aware that they could be under observation at any moment, without ever knowing when or whether they were actually being watched. Bentham’s idea is now a metaphor for our current vast array of surveillance cultures and practices.
Counter-surveillance provides the theme for a number of works that seek to uncover the mechanisms of our surveillance culture and its contradictions. Max Eicke reveals US surveillance facilities in Germany, while Paolo Cirio has used social media hacks of the private profiles of high-ranking intelligence officials to display large-scale reproductions of their photos in public places. Philipp Messner looks at the widespread use of automatic facial-recognition technology, making his own face publicly available in the form of a 3D-printed mask. Finally, Jens Klein has put together sequential series of images sourced from Stasi archives. Stripped of their original context, these photos reveal at first glance the comically mundane quality of surveillance. The contemporary artists featured in the exhibition employ a wide range of tactics to attack, reflect upon or at any rate expose modern-day surveillance practices.
In addition to the exhibition at the Münchner Stadtmuseum, the ERES Foundation’s “No secrets! – The allure and dangers of digital self-surveillance” exhibition investigates the now widespread phenomenon whereby most people today effectively consent to their own surveillance in their use of the Internet, smartphones and social media.
Featured artists
Sebastian Arlt, Paolo Cirio, Max Eicke, Florian Freier, Michael Grudziecki, Hyojoo Jang, Gretta Louw, Jens Masmann, Philipp Messner, Thomas Meyer, Jenny Rova, Mario Santamarías, Gregor Sailer, Alexander Steig, Timm Ulrichs, Franz Wanner.

Lend Me Your Softness
Debatable Screenings: a Curated Series of Global Contemporary Video
July 21st and 28th, 7-9pm
Los Angeles Times Auditorium
Art Center College of Design
1700 Lida St
Pasadena, CA 91103
Single-channel video constitutes a prime vehicle for the widespread dissemination of discourse and critique. Its rapid availability through the Internet, as well as its low-cost infrastructural requirements enables exceptional possibilities for establishing networks of collaboration and transnational dialogue.
Debatable Screenings is a series of video programs organized by different curators from around the globe, considering the potentiality of collective agency, artistic and curatorial discourse, and intercultural dialogue. The interaction between these programs creates a stage for debate, where the nuances of the concept of screening are explored against the light of the individual discourse of artists and filmmakers.
In its inaugural cycle, Debatable Screenings features works by Doplgenger, Driant Zenelli, Igor Bošnjak, Endri Dani, Ibro Hasanović, Katarina Zdjelar, Lana Čmajčanin, Mladen Miljanović, Olson Lamaj, Saša Tkačenko, Siniša Ilić & Tina Gverović, Buen Calubayan, Raquel Friera, Lyra Garcellano & W. Don Flores, Elaine W. Ho & Lucio Castro, Mario Santamaria, Julia Sarisetiati, Christian Tablazon, Mahardika Yudha, Claudia Joskowicz, Laura Huertas Millán, Juan Manuel Echavarría, Carlos Guzman, and Felipe Steinberg.
Please join us at the Los Angeles Times Auditorium at Art Center on Thursday, July 21 for a presentation and talk with curators Maja Ciric and David Ayala-Alfonso, and the first screening program, “Lend Me Your Sofness”, curated by Renan Laru-An. Debatable Screenings will close on Thursday, July 28 with two more programs: “Potentials Within”, curated by Maja Ciric and “A Pilgrimage to the Ruins of the Future”, curated by David Ayala-Alfonso.
Debatable Screenings is possible thanks to the kind support of the Humanities and Sciences Department of Art Center College of Design.

REMOTE SIGNALS
Group exhibition of Ibero-American artists REMOTE SIGNALS curated by Pau Waelder
Exhibition OPENING: 19.00 (right after the talk). Exhibition remains open until the 20th March (opening hours 15-19, on Sunday 12-15 )
Place: project room (1st floor), ARSi maja
Content: most of the art we see and experiment today arrives to us through a screen. Some artworks have been created precisely for this type of distribution: they inhabit the network and feed from it, offering us a vision of a world immersed in a constant flux of information. These works thus become remote signals which allow us to discover the reality of a distant geographic zone, as well as to re-examine our own. This exhibition aims to present in Tallinn a selection of new media artworks created by artists from Spain and Ibero-America that offer visitors a view of our globalized society by means of current digital technologies.
Participating artists:
Clara Boj & Diego Díaz [ES], Daniel Canogar [ES], César Escudero Andaluz [ES], Gilberto Esparza (MX), Varvara Guljajeva & Mar Canet [EE/ES], INTACT Project [CL/ES], Néstor Lizalde[ES], Rafael Lozano-Hemmer [MX/CA], Félix Luque & Íñigo Bilbao [ES], Moisés Mañas [ES], Tiago Martins & Justyna Zubrycka [PT/PL], Joana Moll [ES], Brisa MP [CL], Mónica Rikic & Lucía Segurajáuregui [ES], Mario Santamaria [ES], Román Torre[ES], Pablo Valbuena [ES], Ricardo Vega [CL].
The events take place in the frames of Iberofest cultural festival organized by the Spanish Embassy in Estonia (www.iberofest.ee).
Organizers of the two events are artist duo Varvara & Mar (www.var-mar.info)
Supporters: Spanish Embassy in Estonia, Tallinn City Culture Department, Varvara & Mar OÜ

The »Infosphere« exhibition presents an overview of art in the era of the digital revolution and its social consequences. In addition, it provides insights into the new data world – whose existence has been finally brought home to the general public, through the NSA affair.
Today, people live in a globally interconnected world in which the biosphere and the infosphere are interfused and interdependent. The Earth is surrounded by a layer of gases which we call the atmosphere. It is the product of photosynthesis, of algae working for millions of years, converting light energy from the sun into air. Evolution’s answer to the atmosphere was the lung. Thus the atmosphere is essential for most living organisms, including people. For around 150 years now, we have been surrounded by an infosphere, as well. With this neologism the technical network is meant, consisting of telegraphy, telephony, television, radio, radar, satellites, and the Internet, which covers the globe and enables global exchange of data as well as the organization of transport for people and goods. Without the global traffic in data, goods, and passengers it would be impossible to meet the biological and social needs and aspirations of over seven billion people.
In the nineteenth century, new transport routes and paths of communication were developed through machines operating on land, sea, and in the air. In the years 1886 to 1888, Heinrich Hertz conducted experiments proving the existence of electromagnetic waves and demonstrating that light consists of these electromagnetic waves. With this discovery, the age of wireless communication began, which enabled message and messenger to be separated: Henceforth data could travel through space without the body of a messenger. In the twentieth century, this resulted in a densely interconnected communication and information network of mobile media: the infosphere – an envelope of radio waves surrounding the Earth. Using artificial, technical organs human beings can, for the first time, use electromagnetic waves for the wireless transmission of words, images, and other data – waves for which humans do not actually possess a sensorium. The social media, which have changed our daily lives, are a part of these technological networks. Thus the formula for the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, “Machinery, Material, and Men” (Frank Lloyd Wright, 1930), must be modified for the twenty-first century: “Media, Data, and Men” (Peter Weibel, 2011). Now that the alphabetic code has been supplemented by the numeric code, algorithms constitute a fundamental element of our social order – from stock exchanges to airports.
Against this backdrop, contemporary art operating in the thematic field of big data is especially significant. The artworks on show in this exhibition present answers that artists, designers, architects, and scientists have found today to the acute challenges of the infosphere.

Meta(data)morphosis, Or Gallery Berlin
Meta(data)morphosis
Or Gallery Berlin
Featuring Heini Aho (FI), Timo Bredenberg (FI), Emma Holten (DK), Ryan Maguire (US) & Mario Santamaría (ES). Curated by Søren Rosenbak. Part of Jaw Versus Eye Attack - 3rd JVEA annual event.
In essence, metadata presents us with a rich frame around a blank
canvas, a space with ample room for interpretation, misinterpretation,
miscarriage of justice, etc. An inherently irrational human intervention
will always enter this equation, respond to the metadata frame, and
thus render a distorted portrait into a temporary proxy for truth. How
can we make sense of these ever-shifting digital shadows that social
media, corporations, intelligence agencies, individuals etc., constantly
draw from server farms from around the world? In other words, how do we
respond to the power of metadata and its speculative qualities, the
elusiveness, the lack of control and apparent meaning? Metadata pervades
our lives in both trivial and profound ways. We know that a lack of
response is essentially a submission to this very fact. How do we then
deal with this dynamic? Do we experiment, resist, play along? This is
some of the questions explored in the five works on display. While all
the works engage with the process of meta(data)morphosis, they do so in
highly different ways, employing a wide range of tactics and
sensibilities.

Cibergeografías: Arte, mapas, territorios y las nuevas coordenadas de Iberoamérica en el paradigma digital.
"Cibergeografías: Arte, mapas, territorios y las nuevas coordenadas de Iberoamérica en el paradigma digital". Exposición itinerante curada por Gustavo Romano. Ahora en el Centro Cultural Parque de España de Rosario (Argentina), en colaboración con AECID.
"A partir de la aparición de Internet -y posteriormente, de nuevas redes tecnológicas como la de los móviles o los sistemas de localización por satélite- las comunicaciones han logrado conformar una nueva topología global más allá de la geográfica. Podemos afirmar que un nuevo continente se agregó a los conocidos. Un continente cuya materia es sólo información y que está en constante movimiento. Un espacio liso, sin accidentes geográficos, que permitan generar una cartografía. Un territorio en el cual hasta hace poco todos éramos inmigrantes pero en el que ya ha surgido una generación de vernáculos: los nativos digitales.
En este contexto que podemos denominar cibergeográfico, una Iberoamérica desterritorializada tiene la oportunidad de redibujar sus fronteras culturales y los flujos de recirculación de la información; de generar nuevas arquitecturas relacionales desde las cuales aprovechar las diferencias y potenciar el intercambio y la colaboración horizontal y punto a punto.
Las obras que conforman esta selección -entre las que encontraremos todo tipo de producciones digitales- se valen de los medios tecnológicos para proponernos una reflexión a la vez crítica e innovadora sobre temas como los metaversos y universos virtuales, las nuevas cartografías, la vigilancia y el control, o las nuevas formas de participación que proporciona la red."
