Tonight! A back to back screening of Ouvroir the Movie (2010) ¹ by Chris Marker and KOOLAID MAN IN SECOND LIFE : A conversation with Nicholas O’Brien (2009) ² by Jon Rafman (@jonrafman). Two short films taking place in the virtual world Second Life. ¹ “A tour of Ouvroir, the virtual museum Chris Marker created in the online world Second Life with collaborator Max Moswitzer. Guided by Marker’s cat avatar, Guillaume-en-Égypte, visitors explore a 3D island of galleries, cinemas, and reading rooms inspired by Bioy Casares’s The Invention of Morel. The film documents this digital extension of Marker’s lifelong exploration of memory, art, and technology. ² “From 2008-2011, Kool-Aid Man gave tours of the massively multiplayer online game, Second Life. The game has no objective, no story. Most of the content on it is exclusively created by players. Kool-Aid Man traverses this seemingly infinite user-created landscape: unpopulated desolate areas, nature modeled after a beautiful version of reality, and many places where users created as a field to interact with other users. Several places Kool-Aid Man finds are perverse, serving specific subcultures or fetishes. No music is played over the video, the sound effects in Second Life play throughout the video, plus any other music being streamed by the landscape. The appearance of Kool-Aid Man closely resembles the cartoon character from the popular American drink mix. Rafman’s avatar has red legs with foot-like shapes at the end, but his arms are red rods without hands. Its face is static, with a big smile.” At @smoothievortex from 6 - 8PM.

The free encyclopedia. It’s your job to find an article to share. Maybe the start of a research bender that Wikipedia facilitated, or an article with an unorthodox backstory. Perhaps a piece with a photo you gravitate towards. Wednesday, September 16th 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at @smoothievortex by @internetarchaeology

Today we are talking Rhizome, one of the web’s longest-running spaces dedicated to digital art, internet culture, and preserving the strange, experimental history of life online. We’ll dig through the archive, look at some seminal works of net art, and talk about what happens when the internet itself becomes the medium. @rhizomedotorg by @internetarchaeology

a few selected images from Blue Books, archived at meryn.us, by artist Bunny Roger’s Bunny Roger’s is an American artist known for her multimedia works. Loneliness, nostalgia, and alienation run through much of her output, often filtered through the textures of early internet culture - from an era when online and offline identity first started to bleed into each other. by @internetarchaeology

This upcoming Wednesday we’ll be speaking about creating opportunities in the intangible. When confronted with a desert of galleries, inequitable access to spaces, and a lack of budget, there is still hope. Lead by @c75525. by @internetarchaeology
