AUDIUM research

Mar 21 2021 – Dec 21 2021
ONLINE & Zagreb

The “Autonomous {digital | network} Art” artistic research has spanned the theoretical, multimedia and technical capabilities of digital and network art practices independence of existing physical energy and informational infrastructures – aiming to reduce the digital divide, and the general ecological footprint of new media art.

Our research was centered around our general Pivilion endeavour to radically decentralise digital work, and informed by our Paradigmenwechsel AiR Fellowship.

We invite everyone interested in digital art – to participate in the following open anonymous survey about digital art autonomy in the crossection of computing, ecology and visual art:

“U vrijeme neizbrisivog pamćenja digitalnih zapisa, terora cookiesa i kirurški precizne predikcije korisničkih preferencija pomoću marketinških Internet alata, projekt je ponuđena platforma koja pomoću dark weba i otvorenog koda pruža mogućnost stvaranja i izlaganja umjetničkih djela bez korporativne i institucionalne kontrole.

Notes on Autonomy @ ParadigmShifts 2021 Art & Worklab

Aug 25-29, 2021
mur.at, Graz (Austria)

In 2021 we are conducting a series of research productions projecting autonomy of network art to find if/how digital art can be independent from institutional and/or corporate physical infrastructures (e.g. off-grid, powered by renewables, recycled hardware, automated content, etc.). In the context of recent digital centralization and the increasingly corporate Internet, we are looking to indicate and promote new methods of radical, engaged and decentralized instances of art-work as a plethora of active, critical and ethical actions in the wider digital ecosystem.

Pivilion Quantifications – a research into decentralised [digital] art distribution

It’s been a while. 2018 was quite busy and we’ve been working on other projects.

Over the year we’ve made some changes and bugfixes on the Pivilion Gitlab site and are planning to do a major overhaul of the gallery system very soon. Continue reading…

Concept framework

Pivilion emerged as an extremely logical collab project at a time of extended telepresence opportunity in a time of scarcity in the cultural sector. (In order to show in a “regular” way, you would need to register, submit and upload your values to the hierarchical nature of the art/net systems and adapt to any existing Terms of Service and the paradigm of classical POV.)

While doing our first net themed collab research (powered by net.cube & G-MK) we articulated a (common) necessity to broaden the limits of our indicated art-void into a factual collaborative non-institutional (self-initiated and ideologically coherent) environment. Continue reading…
