  • Anxious to Make - Hypnosis for Artists
    Anxious to Make is the collaborative practice of Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, two commissioning bodies.
    Our focus is on economic concepts, such as cryptocurrencies and the so-called “sharing economy”, and the accelerationist, neoliberal landscapes associated with them.
    Our work examines how these economic concepts intersect with colonialism, technology, wealth culture, race, altruism, utopianism, and exploitation.
    While Anxious to Make’s physical existence takes many shifting forms, it often manifests as series of video commissions, downloads, online generators, workshops, net art interventions, books, and sweepstakes.
    Anxious to Make believes in absurdist extremes as way to examine contemporary realities.
    Our work has appeared recently in Drugo More (Rijeka, Croatia), EMMEDIA (Calgary, CA), Transmediale (Berlin, DE), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco), MoMA PS1 (New York), V2_Lab for the Unstable Media (Rotterdam, NL), The Luminary (St. Louis), The Institute of Network Cultures (Amsterdam, NL), The Wrong Biennale, and Telematic (San Francisco).
    Liat Berdugo is an artist, writer, and curator based in Oakland, CA. Her work strives to create an expanded, thoughtful consideration for digital culture. Berdugo has been exhibited in galleries and festivals internationally, and collaborates widely with individuals and archives. She is an Assistant Professor of Art and Architecture at the University of San Francisco. More at http://liatberdugo.com.
    Emily Martinez is an artist working with digital and networked media. Her recent practice and research interests examine the relationship between media, memory, and catastrophe; post-representational forms of subjectivity, emancipatory practices, and the digital archive. Currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. More at http://somethingnothing.me.

    9. Tassia Mila, cântico do rio (singing of the river), 2015

      cântico do rio (singing of the river), 2015, 00:01:25, sound piece, sonic tale. 

      A sound piece that brings a singing of a river, as if it is the river itself with it's voice, telling a story. With this piece, Tassia wants to activate the sense of nature and its rivers as living beings with their own story to tell, with their own sort of language and voice.

    10. Timo Kahlen - Stranger to the Ears

      Sound sculptor and media artist Timo Kahlen (* 1966)

      has been creating subtle, intriguing, eye- and ear-catching,
      temporary media sculptures and sound installations
      for more than 30 years.

      Presenting challenges to our imagination and perception,
      Kahlen has chosen to work with new, often unusual,
      transient and ‘immaterial‘ media: with wind and steam,
      with light and shade, with pixels and dust, with sound,
      vibration and noise.

      "It‘s a paradox. In the dirty twittering,
      gurgling, hissing, roaring, growling, whistling,
      thundering, humming, droning, grinding,
      snapping, rustling and crackling noises
      we discover unexpected beauty...”
