GORI.Node Garden

2005-09-11T17:04:00.000+02:00

This is an interview with Jeehyun OH who presented GORI Private Network Garden project on this year's ARS Electronica. The concept of the work is the combination of two factors; network, nature and how it balances each other.

The work is shown as small electronic flower gardens where the garden represents the social network you belong to and the flowers symbolize your privatized network nodes; GORIs.

ARS Electronica 2005

2005-09-07T01:14:00.000+02:00

HYBRID—living in paradox, the theme of ARS Electronica 2005, examines the implosive tendencies that digital technologies impose on the world, bringing cultures on top of each other and flouting boundaries: national, material, technological and psychological.

Hybrid creations and creatures, identities and cultures emerge from recombinations of our three basic codes: numeric, genetic and atomic. Digital media art itself is a hybrid born from the connection of art and technology, accumulating diverse modes of expression and demanding a unique crossover of expertise and knowledge.

Rock Otocec

DNA production went to ROCK OTOCEC the muddiest, craziest and loudest 3 days Rock Festival in Slovenia, where we shoot a movie for the Electrolux Company. They installed at this Rock Festival, that is known for his dirty mudd games, a special Rock Laundry Service - for all those, who wanted to stay clean!

We produced a special 3 minute spot, where this Electrolux action is introduced to all those, who didn't have the chance or time to see it life at the Rock festival ROCK OTOCEC. Take a look and don't be shocked!

ARS Electronica 2004, part II

2005-08-04T00:01:00.000+02:00

ArsElectronica is focal point situated at the intersection of art, technology and society, it is above all the endeavor to nurture up-close-andpersonal encounters involving artists, designers, philosophers, sociologists, engineers and scientists from all over the world that endow the Festival with its very special character.

ARS Electronica 2004, part III

2005-08-02T23:59:00.000+02:00

ArsElectronica is not solely a matter of the computer as an artistic medium but, above all, of testing how new ideas that are emerging from artistic practice can be applied to science and society in an effort to influence the way in which new technologies are developed, designed and utilized.

1. Introduction

2005-08-01T16:16:00.000+02:00

From December 2004 to April 2005 DNA Production held discussions about film and digital media. DNA Production made an invitation for every such meeting.

On the first meeting we watched THE CORPORATION, documentary film that explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.

2. Super 8 Memories

2005-08-01T16:03:00.000+02:00

The second meeting was dedicated to 8mm films. The participators of the meeting brought their films, made in their childhood. Because of the mute nature of those films we organized live music on synthesizer.

3. Czhech Dream

2005-08-01T14:05:00.000+02:00

On the third meeting we watched a movie CZECH DREAM. "An original, cheeky treatise on capitalism, with more than a whiff of exploitation, "Czech Dream" follows two film students who used a state grant to promote the opening of an entirely fictitious big-box mega-market in a Prague field.

The resulting scandal, alternately hilarious and discomfiting, illuminates the waking nightmare of consumerism in a country still adjusting to the strengths and pitfalls of the concept."

4. Power of Short Film

2005-08-01T13:06:00.000+02:00

On the fourth meeting we watched COPY SHOP. An original copy film, from 2001, 35mm, 12min, with sound, but no dialogues. The story of a man who works in a copy shop and copies himself until he fills the whole world. The film Copy Shop actually consists of nearly 18,000 photocopied digital frames, which are animated and filmed with 35mm camera.

5. Broadening

2005-08-01T12:15:00.000+02:00

The fifth meeting was special, as our group went to see live lecture of philosopher Slavoj Zizek. He is a Slovenian sociologist, philosopher and cultural critic.

And he is a professor at the European Graduate School and a senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is a visiting professor at the United States universities (Columbia, Princeton, New School for Social Research, New York, and the University of Michigan).

Žižek is well known for his use of the works of Jacques Lacan in a new reading of popular culture. In addition to his work as an interpreter of Lacanian psychoanalysis, he writes on countless topics, such as fundamentalism, tolerance, political correctness, globalization, subjectivity, human rights, Lenin, myth, cyberspace, postmodernism, multiculturalism, David Lynch, and Alfred Hitchcock.

6. Microcosmos

2005-08-01T12:07:00.000+02:00

On the sixth meeting we watched MICROCOSMOS. Utilizing special macroscopic photographic techniques, filmmakers Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou created this fascinating and visually spectacular look at the hidden worlds in the life cycle of an ordinary meadow in France.

RUN

2005-07-31T15:53:00.000+02:00

This project is a bit older, its from year 2001. Its purpose was to show that development of computer games with their visualization reached the level, when player can very easily mix the real world with the virtual one. We tried to find the answers to the question: "Why are we playing this games over and over again and what is making virtual world so attractive?".
