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: The Pirate Cinema: A Cinematic Collage Generated by P2P Users, The Pirate Cinema: A Cinematic Collage Generated by Peer-to-Peer Network Activity

URL: http://thepiratecinema.com/

Description: "In the context of omnipresent telecommunications surveillance, “The Pirate Cinema” makes the hidden activity and geography of Peer-to-Peer file sharing visible. The project is presented as a monitoring room, which shows Peer-to-Peer transfers happening in real time on networks using the BitTorrent protocol. The installation produces an arbitrary cut-up of the files currently being exchanged. This immediate and fragmentary rendering of digital activity, with information concerning its source and destination, thus depicts the topology of digital media consumption and uncontrolled content dissemination in a connected world." -- from the website, 2/4/2015 "TPC is based on a data interception software. It reveals, through a simple diversion, different aspects of exchange platforms, such as the global and multi-situated nature of Peer-to-Peer networks (P2P), the potential for viral transmission, and alternative social models. Its purpose is to make available for aesthetic exploration the pre-existing potentials of Peer-to-Peer architectures." -- from the website, 2/4/2015

Through participatory projects, we create spaces and experiences where the logic of a situation disappears...

We deconstruct systems such as food policies, public transportation and rural farming networks to visualize and understand their intrinsic logics." - from website, 2014 April 29

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)."

Title: Opus 161

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqb88gdCM4Q

Description: "Wilfred gave his first performances on this new instrument in New York in 1922 and toured with the Clavilux in US and Europe often drawing audiences in the thousands during the 1920s. In the 1930s, he shifted his focus from performance to composition for his recently invented Lumia box, an automated device that looks similar to a television but functions like a player-piano. The Lumias slowly morphing light patterns unfolded for weeks without repeating. This shift from performance to exhibition, recontextualized Wilfreds work from the domain of music to the domain of art. Edward A.
