The 7 Memorials for Humanity

media art project context created and curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne.
Based on 7 differently aimed ongoing audio-visual media art contexts, launched between 2001 and 2020, the project is dealing with new forms of commemorating, respectively generating awareness, related to topics that really matter in the currently globally and locally escalating political, social, ecological and cultural situations endangering a free, open and democratic society and Humanity as that fundamental human value, at all. It is a plea to the contemporarily living people to keep and defend humanity as the highest human value also for future generations,

The Refugee Memorial
http://refugee.engad.org

There are currently more than 60 millions of refugees on the globe, people who left their home country in order to escape war, persecution and murder, but also poverty and the lack of any perspectives.
The Refugee Film Collection including videos by 100 artists, initiated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, the Cologne based media artist and curator, is focussing on the human dimension, since the refugees are human individuals who are forced to leave their home countries in order to get shelter, protection and perspectives for survival elsewhere. Do or did they find the “promissed land” – temporarily or for sure?
Artists and video makers from all over the world spotlight this human dimension and the diversity of reasons and motivations to become a refugee. The collection will be presented individually – in total and in parts – in the context of the major exhibition project.

    The Wake Up! Memorial is adding a new commemorative site focussed on preserving the natural environment on Earth for future generations.
    Artists working with audio-visual media were invited to submit works in order to sensitize the open-minded viewer.
    As a term or catchword, “Climate Change” is ambivalent – it describes a process, development or state which can be reversible, as well as irreversible – reversible, this includes for an individual the option to take personally influence on one’s environment and prevent actively “the climate change” as an irreversible process or state – irreversible, it is too late to take any influence, and “climate change” means nothing else than the “Last Days” (of humanity, of the natural environment, the world as we know, etc). One has to accept the inevitable destiny. In its widest sense, “climate” can be understood as “environment”.

    the solo feature of Shahar Marcus
    video artist from Tel-Aviv

    Shahar Marcus

    Shahar Marcus (b. 1971) is an Israeli based artist who primary works in the medium of performance and video art. His initial works dealt with the exploration of his own body and its limitations- incorporating various perishable materials, such as dough, juice and ice. His body served as an instrument, a platform on which various ‘experiments’ took place: lying on the operating table, set on fire, dressed in a ‘bread suit’ and more.
    Food is also a major theme in Marcus’s works. For instance, his recurrent use of bread as a symbol of essentiality and survival is juxtaposed with military symbols. By working with food, a perishable, momentary substance and by turning it into a piece of clothing or a set, Marcus also flirts with art history; transforming arbitrary objects and materials into something immortal and everlasting.

However, in his recent works, Marcus appears by himself, while embodying different roles and characters. ‘The man with the suit’ is a personage that was born from an intuitive desire to create a ‘clean-cut’ version of an artist, juxtaposed to the common visual stereotype of the artist as a laborer. Drawing influence from Magritte’s familiar figure- the headless suit, a symbol of Petite bourgeoisie, Marcus embodies this man with a suit as an artist who is in charge, a director.
    His most recent works deal with local political issues, by approaching iconic Israeli landmarks with a critical and humorous point of view. Thus, Marcus reflects on his own heritage, environment and the creation of local historical narratives. His works are influenced by the visual language of cinematography along with familiar themes and tributes to art – history and artists, such as Ives Klein, Paul McCarthy, Peter Greenway and Jackson Pollack.
    Shahar Marcus is an active artist for over a decade and has exhibited at various art- institutions, both in Israel and around the world, including: The Tate Modern ,The Israel Museum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Petach Tikva Museum of Art , Charlottenburg, Copenhagen- Kunsthalle , Moscow Biennale, Poznan Biannale, Moscow Museum of Modern Art The Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and at other art- venues in Polland, Italy, Germany, Georgia, Japan, the USA and Turkey. Many of his works are a part of various important collections, such as The Israel Museum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Petach Tikva Museum of Art as well as art- intuitions in Poland and Italy.

  • Towards a plastic free environment

    Contaminated Progress
    curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne

    The private and industrial use of plastic is contaminating meanwhile the living environment on Earth so profoundly, that microplastic can be proven in nearly all living resources for animals, plants and not to forget the human individual. It is no question of an idiological view any more, but a survival necessity to ban plastic in any form from the cycle of life. Who will win the race? Ecology or economy?

    In September 2019, The New Museum of Networked Art – was supporting the initiative for a plastic free Kolkata (India) by launching the video art screening program “Contaminated Progress” – which became part of “The 1 Minute Before 12 Memorial @ The Wake Up! Memorial,

    The impact of her unique code/net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language “mezangelle”] has been equated with the work of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall.

    Mez has been at the center of the center-less discourse about networks, writing and codework ever since the listserv started to be a vehicle for the dissemination of artistic ideas among artists. Rather than explore or critique network communication from an implied “outside,” however, mez has situated herself within the very operations of the network, her writing never entirely separating itself from the protocols that govern the transportation and presentation of words and images. The bountiful work of mez is everywhere but nowhere, the mystical overtones are intentional as she calls her digital-creole “mezangelle”, and this most software-aware project is actually software independent, as mez has no patience or capacity for operating within the fixity of an “application,” not to mention that of the person, place or nation-state.

    V[R]ignettes: A Microstory Series (2019)


    Originally titled A Million and Two, V[R]ignettes is a series comprised of Virtual Reality crafted microstories. Each individual microstory, or vignette, is designed to encourage a kind of ‘narrative smearing’ – where traditional story techniques are truncated and mutated into smears (kinetic actions and mechanics, collage-like layered building blocks, visual distortions, dual-tiered text annotations) which requires a reader to make active choices in order to navigate each microstory space (storybox).

    An anthology of VR works that integrate 3D illustration with poetic text and a reading experience of visceral intensity. Each piece explores unique textures, atmospheric sound design, and texts that are by turns enigmatic, impassioned, and humorous. The navigation is intuitive, recalling page turns, but also allows for free non-linear exploration.” – Judges’ commentary about the project winning the Queensland University of Technology Digital Literature Prize as part of the 2019 Queensland Literary Awards.

    Work title: “Love Is…”

    Year of production: 2008
    Used technology: Flash

    Enter the work here

    Work description:

    “Love Is…” is an attempt at a definition, and as with all
    definitions that try to explain what love is, precision is not
    possible, and perhaps not even desirable. This piece moves toward a
    definition of love in three stages: first through a standard, accepted
    lexicon; then via a series of individual expressions of love; and
    finally as defined within randomly selected statements about love
    provided by readers.

    The work is created in Flash and, at the end of the piece, offers
    viewers the opportunity to write their own definitions of love into
    the site. These definitions are saved in a database so the next
    visitor can view them as they are randomly displayed. “Love Is…”
    takes approximately five minutes to view. No special downloads or
    plugins are required.

    This work uses videos and audio files acquired online, and modified by
    the artist. A credits page is included on the site.

    used technology (software etc): psychogeographical perfomance recorded using digital camera, location and information found using google search, maps and wikipedia, photoshop and other adobe software are used to create site.

    required plug-ins; none

    Enter the work

    During psychogeographical or mythogeographical walks [DRIFTS] one is expected to shift focus from one plain to the other. Most of the time a mental reaction is established early on. Senses are overwhelmed with primary ambience leading to the state of open minded “blindness”, entangled by the forces of decisive attraction. In my case occasionally “recomposed drift focus” glides [drifts?] to the unexpected or sights usually unrecognized as significant. I call them: psychographs. Psychogeography is a window to the urban future. Psychographs are illustrative individual examples, they are recorded moments of sensuous touch by genius loci.
    Everyone has the right to find in the cities the conditions necessary for his or her political, economic, cultural, social, and ecological realization while assuming the associated duties of solidarity.
    Psychographs are items, points, stages, elements in psychogeographical search to help us understand the multiplicity of language of urban space.
    Starting point in everyday practice is opening your mind and of course all other senses. Positioned to absorb you are focused on the place itself, genius loci [spirit of the place] is beginning to expose to you “psychographs”, small individual scenes preparing you for the powerful experiences in longer and more purposely oriented psychogeographical walks – drifts. When made in common praxis genius loci is willing to reveal – uncover things otherwise deeply hidden or with unrecognizable importance. that is when you notice that shifting focus suddenly makes thing fundamentally changed.

    there are only three instances recorded now [september 2010] in this work, I am planning to add many more, site is intended to be ever expanding and influenced by other participants and contributions.

    short work description
    In the social process of alteration, not only the view of the human itself changes, but also the familiar and social structures.
    Standardized solutions replace individual solutions and make global systems work on the one hand, on the other though, they segregate merciless societies and individuals who don’t fit into the norm.
    In the artwork „baltensperger“ I use the language as a medium, that in my understanding gives identity since it is intuitively associated with regional identities. Computer codes epitomize the modern and standardized language.

    I created my own programming language in my personal dialect. Thus, I extract the code from its original meaning to be global, standardized and functional, giving it a fragment of my local and personal identity.

    Barely Skin Deep

    used technology (software etc): XHTML, Flash, XML, php, mysql, Final Cut Pro

    Enter the work here

    Barely Skin Deep is an interactive online documentary video project, which explores the concept of feminine beauty from the perspective of 10 diverse women. Using video interviews collected over a 4-year period, this documentary work seeks to present a fragmented, pluralistic perspective on the personal and societal issues which influence a woman’s concept of self and group beauty.

    About 4 years ago, I sought to uncover a range of personal viewpoints and experiences on this topic by video interviewing women from various ages and cultural backgrounds. At the time, I was unsure how I would use the footage. I approach fine art projects in a fairly organic manner: I collect material and then see what issues are revealed. As a result of seeing the vastly different perspectives presented in the interviews, I decided to create an online interactive work. This enables the viewer to access and evaluate these fragmented interviews in order to formulate his/her own opinion based on the presented materials.

    Each interview fragment is 10 to 60 seconds and is retrieved from a database of over 200 clips using the XML language in a Flash interface. One of the key issues discovered as I was working on this project was that different people want to access the material from this database in different ways. As a result, the interview clips can be viewed by either interviewee or by one of 9 topics, where the viewer has the ability to further define the viewing constraints by selecting a specific interview question. In addition to the database clips, the viewer can also access background information on each interviewee in the Women section. Through a Forum section they can also participate in discussions related to the topics covered in the database interviews.

    year of production: 2008
    used technology (software etc): processing / java

    Enter the work here

    ‘CorpssansOrganes’ (CsO) is a seminal concept in Deleuzian philosophy. Made after Artaud declared war on the organs, it is a text that influences cyberculture, disrupts organization, and prompts this work. This ‘CsO’ is a work launched in 28 nov 2008, which visualizes and scatters every word of Gilles Deleuze’s & Felix Guattari’s text in 3d abstract space, celebrating 61 years since 28 Nov 1947, date that marks the banished end of Antonin Artaud’s radio broadcast ‘pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu’, that prompted this deleuzian concept.
    All the words of this text from Mille Plateaux are floating in space, disembodied from their pages, interconnected by a luminous filament; the code follows every word in reading order, embodying a meta-body-without-organs in 3d space, charting diffuse abstract paths united by generative logic’s thread.

    short work description:
    Attention Hog is built on the model of “casual games”, a rising industry and pastime. The player is cast as a pig whose goal is to capture the love and attention of as many people as possible. The game’s subject reflects some of the social and psychological trends present in social-networking communities, including self-promotion, social anxiety, obsessive need for peer validation, and distraction as entertainment. The game operates on a conventional level, and can be shared with others and embedded on web pages, blogs, and social-networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.

    Chris Diedericks “I am fascinated by an interdisciplinary approach in my work and am always searching for new solutions – it forms an integral part of my personal creative process. I have failed my own creative process, and myself, if I merely regurgitate former imagery. I never want two shows to ‘look’ the same. I encountered Iron John by writer Robert Bly as an art student, and realised then already that the text will remain relevant in my life for many years to come. A vast majority of heterosexual men still battle the same gender issues today. Especially the issue of gender diversity. Iron John is however, aimed specifically at heterosexual men, another exclusion of gay men in a solid study about masculinity. I have decided to visually re-write Iron John for all men without exclusion or selective inclusion.” Cape Town, 2007.

    katty vandenberghe “I pretty much stay hidden in the structural aspects of the work. I act as Chris’ blog and organise the navigational infrastructure. Every now and then I also act as visual hacker and play around with Chris’ images and the web page architecture. Chris is the one who speaks, I am the one who transmits – and every now and then I interrupt that transmission. In a sense Chris cuts and pastes images he collects from his world into visual artworks, and I cut and paste his work into code. It matters to me how the images are cut up into squares or strips as the pages download. Some of my animation games only run once as the image is downloading, so there is a good chance that you might miss it. My favourite download scenario is that of a good old slow dial-in connection via landline – then you really have time to observe and absorb the structure I put into the work. Of course, that wouldn’t work very well for the video clips, which require faster download speeds. All my website architecture is consciously directed at lower end access to technology, equipment and the internet.” Johannesburg, 2007.

    “The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself…”
    The Uroboros that swallows its own tail inspires the CycleScope project. As we are swamped by couples of image and words created by search engines one may offer a relief by allowing us to control the flow. Let us reclaim the word and image association by propagating our own associations. Let us detach from machine fabricated realities by slowly tailoring a group view of visual perceptions. Are we swallowing our own tail – reusing the same material that overflows to create even more noise?
    CycleScope allow people to investigate the associated link between a word and an image. Together, you are invited to contribute to a local data base, where a word & image become a literary creation.
    CycleScope, a web based gadget, is a mechanism that help you match a word of your choice with a selection of images that have been previously uploaded to match this word. Select one or add your own. Your choice becomes a CycleScope, a kaleidoscopic entity formed on the site and kept on the gallery for others to see and use.
    Successful matches will appear frequently on the gallery, indicating their appeal to sites’ visitors. One can buy a redrawn version of a CycleScope printed on a T-shirt or a button via the gallery.

    keywords: crowd sourcing, DIOS, Semantic Web, literary creation.

    short work description

    Colour Fields is a series of continuous flash animations using video, still image and AS3 code to manipulate visual content. The constantly changing blends and movement create animations that can play endlessly and may never have the same sequence of pixels twice.

    The visual content is a combination of abstract and subtle figurative imagery taken from the blackaeonium archive project (link) exploring preservation of digital content and recombinant content creation.

    This work also contains a new soundtrack “fishtank musicbox”.

    In 2003 he created the “KLANGDRANG Festival for incredible Music”, Cologne, which he organizes annually (http://www.klangdrang.org)

    soundLAB III

    SoundLAB was one of the “memory channels” of The RRF Project – dealing with sound a tool for artistic creations, resulting soundart or sinic art (in German “Klangkunst”).
    SoundLAB III was the 3rd major annually released soundart project, Wilfried Agricola de Cologne was realising in 2006, including also two curated contributions from Australia and Germany. The German one was curated by Peter Wolf presenting a selection from the the Cologne based festival “KlangDrang 2005” a Sonic Art Festival including 4 Cologne based sonic art groups SOUNDSO, FIM, DOPPELPLUS & Enselnble ALL TAG. While this feature can be listened to below on this page -the complete soundLAB III can be acessed by opening following link

    “KlangDrang 2005 – A Festival for Incredible Music – Cologne”

    In this case “Incredible Music” means the spheres of New Music, experimental and improvised music, Performance Art and New Media. This festival was brought into being 2002 as a hommage for the cologne citizen center Alte Feuerwache which enables the presentation of extraordinary music since more than 25 years. This year KlangDrang presented 4 ensembles from which you can hear each 3 cuttings of an each 45 minute performance.

    F.I.M. (Free improvised music cologne)
    Nobert Zajac (voc), Matthias Kaiser (violin), Frank Bersziek (sax, basscl), Michael Haverkamp (sax, perc), Karl Kruetzmann (fl, tr, piano), Joerg Koenig (git), Axel Hoeptner (piano), Frank Homburg (sax), Wolfgang Simmons (git). F.I.M. is an open collaboration between musicians, who let themselves in for the risk of a music without arrangements. If there are agreements, than just in view of the actual cast. The music is free improvised on stage. As a construct of the moment was never heard so, nor it will ever reproduced live exactly in that way. The stile flows between archaic sound, noise art, Free Jazz and New Music and so is based on the exitement of the moment.

    soundso
    Bettina Wenzel, Brigitte Kuepper, Norbert Zajac, Peter Wolf (all vocal) Vocal communication as an experiment – 4 singers test the possibilities of the vocal cords. Croaking, spitting and slurping a part of the repertoire of this vocal ensemble just as singing in extremly high registers and soundfull depth or the spontaneous inventions of cacophonic languages and onomatopoeic escapades. The personalities of the 4 improvisers meet, according to demand, harmonical, contrarily or meshed and meanwhile count on enthusiasm and the intuitive work with vocal sound.

    Ensemble All-Tag
    Frank Bersziek (sax, bcl), Konrad Doeppert (analogsynth, objects), Matthias Kaiser (violin), Joerg Koenig (git). This quartett came from a combination of musicians, which got random selected while the KlangDrang festival in 2004.. Free improvised pieces are the basic of the musical collaboration. Experiences with the european free improvised music, the electroaccoustical art, the noise experiments of the eighties and in their origin outer musical elements come together while playing free. Results are subtle coded sound sceneries, where the audience finds space for free association.

    Doppelpluss
    Brigitte Kuepper (voc/tb/div), Wolfgang Simons (git/sax/div), Konrad Doeppert (synth/perc/div), Peter Wolf (voc/perc/div) these four produce live partially improvised sound films as from another planet. Doppelpluss musically darts sideways between all stiles. They sit down winkingly between all chairs and create alternating hot and cold acoustical baths of emotion. Dynamical meditative sound trips grow to impressive psycho drama, change to funny folk, change to philosophical tender loving care, change to absurd theater. Exciting music performance therefore and who knows where the journey goes to.
