Description:

Many artists and works represented online are indispensable to the history of digital media art; however, web sites are ephemeral and artworks posted on websites and its documentation frequently disappear. The insecurity of access to these materials presents serious obstacles to teaching courses on the history of digital media art. To facilitate future scholarship and classroom teaching, Cornell University Library is preserving and making accessible selected websites identified as important in understanding the history of digital media art. The items in this collection are intended for use in the teaching of Digital Media Art at Cornell University.

Title: Tantalum Memorial

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LlN20Aj--0

Description: "Tantalum Memorial" is a series of telephony-based memorials by the artists group Harwood, Wright, Yokokoji, to the people who have died as a result of the "coltan wars" in the Congo. The installation is constructed out of electromagnetic Strowger switches -- the basis of the first automatic telephone exchange invented in 1888. The movements and sounds of the switches are triggered by the phone calls of London's Congolese community as they participate in "Telephone Trottoire" -- a concurrent project also built by the artists in collaboration with the Congolese radio program "Nostalgie Ya Mboka". - from website, 2014 May 02

Description: Brody Condon discusses a "a series of performances loosely inspired by Trisha Brown's "Lineups" from the 1970's, of pole performances he has presented in several venues. At LACMA, ten "movers" will manipulate ten foot poles following three basic rules: poles must always stay connected, the movers will move slowly and constantly in a circle, and any viewers are to be regarded as ghosts on another plane of existence. The performance will begin at noon and end at 8 pm. The costumes are designed by Rodarte." - from website, 2014 April 21 An interview of Brody Condon, discussing his performance art piece, "Line Up (after Trisha)."

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7h0ppnUQhE

Description: "John Whitney is considered by many to be the "Father of Computer Graphics". He started in the 1940s building clockwork mechanisms with lights to draw directly on film. Later, he bought WW2 surplus analog ballistics computers and eventually started using digital computers. I believe this one was rendered using a vector display." -- from the website, 2/13/2015

Title: Almost Immaterial Vibration

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNzRDk0sIeM

Description: "Jesús Rafael Soto, Almost Immaterial Vibration (Vibración casi inmaterial), 1963-1964. For Jesús Rafael Soto, a pioneer of op art, the illusion of movement was a means of achieving an interactive relationship with the viewer: walk by one of his works, and the sense of motion intensifies. Almost Immaterial Vibration is among the first of his "classic" Escrituras (Writings)—optically vibrant paintings with hanging elements that resemble handwriting and seem to pulsate with energy. The Escrituras freed Soto from the confines of the surface, allowing him to "draw in space." On the right side of this two-part painting, the hanging rods are gray-green and appear to dissolve almost completely into the highly energized background. On the left, the rods are black and more individually distinguishable. Rather than representing the world around us, Soto's illusionism plays with the physical shortcomings of our eyes, creating a space in constant flux that we perceive as two-dimensional. It is the surface of this painting that appears to be in motion. Lynn Zelevansky, Curator, 2004" -- from the website, 3/16/2015
