The Artist Is Online & dadaclub.online

We are beyond proud&happy to be participating in The Artist Is Online Exhibition (starting Apr 2, 2016 19:00) with our collaborative work:

telehosted concept test;
a performative P2P processual demonstration.

Shallot [CPU] / Scallion [GPU] custom .onion hashing

Hashing ain’t easy! (Shallot is a bit hard on your CPU, but is a great option if your GPU’s not adequate.)

Try’n’dare to do a high FPS screencap while GPU hashing. ^w^

You can do simultaneous queries / hashes and sometimes even get luckier in the slower one (especially if the query is shorter); every session is unique / random.

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…

Tech background

This time I’ll talk a bit about the technology behind Pivilion.

Screencaps from the first four days of the residency :)

Collaborating on Tumblr requires special privileges. :)

Audio chat doesn’t really work however. :) Mozilla y u fail us?

This is what the gallery might look like in the near future

A bit of background in plain English

Why would one need a small battery-powered device that can host image galleries from any place in the world with an available WiFi Internet connection?

The idea came to life during Dina’s residency in net.cube at G-MK in Zagreb. She had her own web project (probably down after the event) that required hosting on a local network during a presentation. The Raspberry Pi seemed ideal for the project. We wanted to make the project accessible from the Internet and for that we needed to circumvent closed incoming ports that disallowed us from running services from inside the gallery. Tor hidden services pretty much do that out-of-the box. The rest seemed logical – I powered up one of hacklab01’s RPis and first made it a web server. Then installed Tor and set it up – the whole thing just worked and the setup didn’t take up much time at all.
