Cym (Simone van Groenestijn) (at)

Aus Alt Mach Neu. Recycling Arts

This paper is a presentation of Cym's work, both as a net artist and as a recycling artist. It shows the changes of direction in her work. It describes her journey via a wide range of places and projects that seem to have so little in common. But as her journey continues, the cycle that connects the things, becomes clear. The pieces fall into place and by the end of this presentation it will make perfect sense, that Cym is still now, in 2010, collecting empty milk packages to transform into small wallets, while programming complex patterns of animated circles at the same time. cym

Transparency of Digital Manipulation or Not. Discussion of Where Were the Mothers?

This paper will address the significance of the ability of digital media to alter and transform primary experiences in ways that may improve, misrepresent or interfere with the viewer’s reception and understanding of the original material. A secondary question is that of ownership and authorship when the translation involves a creative process. These ideas will be considered through a discussion of my video installation Where were the Mothers? (2009) in which people who have taken alternative life paths worked with a professional musician to write one song about the participant’s mother.

Kaspar Wimberley (de)

Homezone

Homezone is a walk around the perimeters of my Homezone, an area in which I can make cheaper telephone calls, defined by the German O2 mobile telephone network and based on my residential address. For the past two years I have been collecting objects, thoughts and images from the people and the places that I have encountered, piecing together a narrative that documents this invisible boundary, and explores the way in which we perceive our neighbouring environments. This narrative, or scrapbook of evidence, will be presented for ISEA, a low-tech response to a web of technological infrastructures.

Kaspar Wimberley works as an interventionist, performance researcher and experimental cartographer specialising in site-specific and site-responsive art. Projects are quietly subversive, playfully readjusting the narrative and appreciation of a particular activity or a given site
