VOPOS, AN EXPERIMENT IN ARTS by 0100101110101101.org
Vopos is the latest
project by 0100101110101101.ORG. For years now the net.art duo is
working in the internet and is now enlarging its working radius to include
the three communication networks telephone, satellite and internet. Vopos
is an artistic experiment in the digital era. The duo defines its latest
work as telecommunication art and declares the latest technologies as
suitable tools for artistic creation, in a time when art has to face
changing paradigms.
From the beginning of 2002 GPS (global
positioning system) transmitters, which the artists are permanently
carrying, send their coordinates to the own website, always accessible to
the public. The data is transferred to city maps, so the current
whereabouts of the two artists are constantly visualised. Vopos is part of
a larger project called Glasnost, initiated in 2000 by
0100101110101101.ORG, it consists of the intention to produce the greatest
possible amount of data about individuals and to publish it in the
internet.
Joined with the artist collective epidemiC,
0100101110101101.ORG have launched a selfreproducing program, a computer
virus called ”biennale.py”, commissioned by the Slovenian pavilion at the
Biennale in Venice. In Frankfurt 01001001110101101.ORG is going to present
their latest project Vopos on occasion of Manifesta 4 and the exhibition I
love you on May 25, moreover they will take part at the expert discussion
about ”digital bohème” on May 23, at mak.frankfurt.
