Paul Virilio

'Velocity' is the key word of Paul Virilio's thinking, the post-modern treasure, and the modern society capital. Reality is no longer defined by time and space, but in a virtual world, in which technology allows the existence of the paradox of being everywhere at the same time while being nowhere at all. The loss of the site, city, and nation in favor of globalization implies also the loss of rights and of democracy, as these are contrary to the immediate and instantaneous nature of information. In Paul Virilio's view, Marshall McLuhan's global village is nothing but a 'World Ghetto'.

Martha Rosler | "Unsettling the Fragments" | Muenster Sculpture Project 2007

In Unsettling the Fragments, Rosler produces a reading of Munster's history through its architecture and institutions. In one of many proposed or realised moves, Rosler re-sites replicas of the cages used to display the corpses of leading Anabaptists after their torture and execution in 1536, which hang from the tower of St Lambert's church high above the consciousness of shoppers and pedestrians in the old town, to the veranda of the municipal library. The human scale of these articles of torture and display is returned to heretics who dared to imagine and proclaim heaven on earth. A viewer needs little if any prompting to read the fragments Rosler unsettles into active memory.

Joseph Beuys | 7000 Oaks | Kassel, Germany | 1982 | Documenta 7

“Only on condition of a radical widening of definitions will it be possible for art and activities related to art [to] provide evidence that art is now the only evolutionary-revolutionary power. Only art is capable of dismantling the repressive effects of a senile social system that continues to totter along the deathline: to dismantle in order to build ‘A SOCIAL ORGANISM AS A WORK OF ART’… EVERY HUMAN BEING IS AN ARTIST who – from his state of freedom – the position of freedom that he experiences at first-hand – learns to determine the other positions of the TOTAL ART WORK OF THE FUTURE SOCIAL ORDER.”  -Joseph Beuys

"Every human being is an artist, a freedom being, called to participate in transforming and reshaping the conditions, thinking and structures that shape and inform our lives" 

- Joseph Beuys

manifesto video shoot

Reminder: 
We are meeting in the sculpture crit room (FAB first floor) today to shoot manifesto videos.

If you are shooting your video yourself, you will need to save the video as a .mov (720 x 480) and get the file to me on CD.  Put CD in my mailbox in the art office by Friday, April 2nd
I plan to make a longer compilation of all manifestos and need a good quality uncompressed .mov file.
You will also need to compress your video for web streaming and upload your video to youtube by class time on April 5th. 
You will need an account on youtube to upload vids.  Plenty of tutorials in youtube on how to do this.
I will show you how to embed your manifesto youtube video in your blog on April 5th. It would be helpful though if you did this before class if you can.  

autonomy

In order to remain autonomous, at some point art began to copy everything that is not autonomous. There was no lack of supply and demand since power, as we know, can only be held over the production of truth or else it does not function.

Armory

We cruised the armory like flaneurs, like spies, like emmigrants. Sitting down for a moment and a bit of water, resting on wood stumps on art forum island, we half-heartedly assessed the shoes of passersby while overhearing the conversation between a collector for the Whitney collection in Japan and a female investment banker, originally from Shanghai.

"At this point I do not want to be outside the structure of power, I do not want to be the opposition, the alternative. Alternative to what: To power? No. I want to have power. It's effective in terms of change. I want to be like a virus that belongs to the institution. All the ideological apparatuses are, in other words, replicating themselves; because that's the way the culture works. So if I function as a virus, an impostor, an infiltrator, I will always replicate myself together with those institutions." -felix gonzalez-torres
