[rohrpost] AR Guerrilla-Intervention bei der Venedig Biennale 2011

[Tamiko Thiel]

Liebe Freunde,

letztes Jahr hat die Cyberkünstlergruppe Manifest.AR mittels einer 
Augmented-Reality-Intervention das MoMA NY mit unerlaubten virtuellen 
Kunstwerken gefüllt, wie die New York Times damals berichtete:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/22/opinion/22fri4.html?_r=2

Diese Technologie erlaubt es uns, Kunstwerke direkt per Geolocation in 
geschlossene kuratorische Räume zu plazieren. Die Kunstwerke sind dann 
im Display von Smartphones sichtbar.

Wir werden jetzt gleich die Venedig Biennale kapern, z.B. mit meiner 
Arbeit über Schlingensief im Deutschen Pavilion:
  "Shades of Absence: Schlingensief Gilded"

Manifest.AR cyberartist group announces the:

VENICE BIENNIAL 2011 AUGMENTED REALITY INTERVENTION
June 1st - November 27, 2011

Concept:  http://www.manifestar.info/venicebiennial2011/
Artworks: http://manifestarblog.wordpress.com/venice2011/

As “one of the world’s most important forums for the dissemination and 
‘illumination’ about the current developments in international art” the 
54th Biennial of Venice could not justify its reputation without an 
uninvited Augmented Reality infiltration. In order to “challenge the 
conventions through which contemporary art is viewed” we will construct 
the virtual AR pavilions directly amongst the national pavilions in the 
Giardini.

Our artworks reflect on Bice Curiger's 5 Questions, the Venice Biennial 
as an institution, and on the city of Venice itself. And be warned: 
virtual walls are insubstantial - some artworks have already spread to 
the Piazza San Marco and may take over all of Venice!
