Feedforward. The Angel of History. Part 1: Wreckage and countermeasures LABoral The exhibition addresses the current moment in history where the wreckage of political conflict and economic inequality is piling up, while globalized forces--largely enabled by the "progress" of digital information technologies--inexorably feed us forward continue Book Review - Art and Electronic Media book reviews A comprehensive, timely international survey that addresses the relationship between art and electronic technology, this volume explores the presence and meanings of mechanics, light, graphics, robots, virtual reality and the Web in the art and visual culture of the last hundred years. It also considers the reaction, development and future of artistic practice in the face of new technology continue Mark Amerika retrospective at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens events video Developing projects on the net, filming with mobile phones, remixing common moments and figures of today`s culture in an VJ-like audiovisual rhythm, Amerika redifines the characteristics of today's culture and opens up the possibilities for new interpretations and thoughts from the audience itself continue Venice Biennale: Juan Burgos at the pavilion of Uruguay Venice Biennale 2009 latin america Burgos expands urban apocalyptic visions which proliferate in daily life. His starting point is a children's storybook, from which he constructs a delirious collage. Anything is possible in his productions. With amazing dexterity he cuts, pastes, digitally photocopies and photocopies again, the result of which he fits into a fascinating stage design. Within these metaphors, there are, mingled with a large cast of characters, iconic elements of national images continue Venice Biennale: Danish and Nordic Pavilion Venice Biennale 2009 The curators approach the topic of collecting, and the psychology behind the practice of expressing oneself through physical objects. Why do we gather items and surround ourselves with them in our every day lives? Which mechanisms of desire trigger our selection? continue East of Nowhere - Contemporary Art from post-Soviet Central Asia Art in Turin and Milan The exhibition, located in the beautiful but cruelly un-heated Fondazione 107, uses photographic works, videos, installations and sculptures to document a moment of extraordinary transformation for an area that is five times bigger than Europe. The result is bold and exciting with its mix of "globalization", acceleration, pre-soviet and islamic traditions continue Portraying the mafia Art in Turin and Milan artissima photography vintage Letizia Battaglia's pictures, because of the corruption, silence, violence and suffering they laid bare, played a crucial role in the anti-mafia campaign.

The fragility and transparency of its structure reveals as much as it hides the logic and functioning of the machine. Its units operate like a very basic artifical neural network continue more, more and more
