			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="424" height="359" src="http://www.random-magazine.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/face2facebook_faces_matrix-black-web.jpg" class="attachment-large" alt="" title="face2facebook_faces_matrix-black-web" /><p><em>Face to Facebook </em>is the latest project by <strong>Alessandro Ludovico</strong> and <strong>Paolo Cirio</strong>, the third work in a series that began with <em>Google Will Eat Itself</em> and <em>Amazon Noir</em>. These works share a lot in terms of both methodologies and strategies. They all use custom programmed software  in order to exploit (not without fun) three of the biggest online corporations (Google, Amazon and Facebook), exploiting conceptual hacks that generate unexpected holes in their well oiled marketing and economic system. <em>Face to Facebook</em> is currently on view as an installation at <em>Transmediale</em> Festival in Berlin.</p>
<p>This is how the authors explain this new, provocative net artwork:</p>
<p>&#8220;Stealing 1 million Facebook profiles, filtering them with face-recognition software and then posting them on a custom-made dating website, sorted by their facial expression characteristics.<br />
In an attempt to free personal data as Facebook&#8217;s exclusive property we spent a few months downloading public information from one million profiles (including pictures).Immersing ourselves in the resulting database was a hallucinatory experience as we dove into hundreds of  thousands of profile pictures and found ourselves intoxicated by the endless smiles, gazes and often leering  expressions. After a few weeks we had to face the evidence. All that people wanted was to attract new people, have more  relationships, to express and receive love through their digital traits. But they were trapped by Facebook  owning their data and restricting their actions with primitive privacy rules. They wanted more than just their restricted circles of &#8220;friends&#8221; and they wanted it quickly and easily.<br />
Our mission was to give all these virtual identities a new shared place to expose themselves freely, breaking Facebook&#8217;s constraints and boring social rules. So we established a new website (<em>lovely-faces.com</em>) giving them justice and granting them the possibility of soon being face to face with anybody who is attracted by their facial expression and related data.<br />
Now they are there, in full effect, free to keep in touch with a whole world of men and women and anything in between. And we accomplished our mission: the final piece of the free relationships interface is now running.&#8221;</p>

The website is designed to help people commit a symbolic, ritual suicide, killing their virtual identity. The main purpose of the project is to inspire a ludic introspection about using social networks, beginning with the most popular one: Facebook. The site also provide a memorial page on which users can write their last words. In the end, it all turns into a game, as you can score points by inviting your friends to committ a virtual suicide too.</p>

What happens  when we are “tagging” , “posting” and “sharing” our experiences and opinions  in platforms such as those of Facebook, YouTube, flickr or del.icio.us? Are we  really connecting and interacting or are we also forming the content and the structure of the social web itself? The online works included, highlight the controversies of the web 2.0, commenting on the constant balancing between order and chaos, democracy and adhocracy, exposure and exploitation that it presents.</p>

Four characters will tell a story using dialogues shown on YouTube videos, blog posts, and via entries on their Facebook profiles. The cloned identity of a real spy will be used as a plot device for telling a story about the political and sentimental weakness of our era, which are accelerated by the compulsory use of personal media and social networking platforms.</p>

Riportando in auge la riflessione sulle comunità virtuali, sui principi di condivisione, social software e intelligenza collettiva. Ma le implicazioni non riguardano solo la tecnologia, arrivano ad influenzare l’identità e l’emotività umana&#8230;</em></p>
<p>C’è chi sostiene che si tratti di una nuova era di Internet. E chi invece la considera solo una  buzzword (una parola di moda che “ronza” di continuo) coniata ad arte e pompata a beneficio del marketing. Comunque stiano le cose, non si può negare che il Web 2.0 sia l’argomento del giorno nelle discussioni che riguardano la rete e i suoi possibili sviluppi. Tecnici, sociali e culturali. Il termine, coniato dallo statunitense <strong>Tim O’Reilly</strong> (fondatore della casa editrice O&#8217;Reilly Media), definisce, più che una tecnologia precisa, un nuovo approccio nell’uso della rete, sia da parte degli sviluppatori che degli utenti. Il Web 2.0 celebra infatti una sempre più forte centralità dell’utente nella produzione e distribuzione dei contenuti, e valorizza la potenza del cosiddetto social networking. Le applicazioni più note, cui si fa sempre riferimento quando si parla della seconda release del Web, sono piattaforme come eBay, Myspace, Flickr, Youtube, Delicious, Twitter. Servizi online che permettono, tramite una semplice iscrizione, di pubblicare materiali di ogni genere, di classificarli in modo personale (tramite i cosiddetti tag, etichette da assegnare a ogni contenuto), di condividerli con altri utenti, di comunicare con una vastissima comunità, costruendo, nel frattempo enormi database. Sono centinaia gli esperimenti già online che si basano sul medesimo principio ispiratore. Indipendentemente dall’argomento in questione (che si parli di libri, viaggi, fotografie, testi, video o ricette di cucina), quello che accomuna i siti web 2.0 sono concetti come condivisione, partecipazione, intelligenza collettiva, classificazione e interconnessione dei contenuti, quasi sempre user-generated.</p>
<p>Aldilà degli aspetti meramente tecnici, delle implicazioni commerciali e delle diatribe terminologiche, c’è un aspetto del Web 2.0 che raramente viene sottolineato dagli analisti e dagli osservatori del fenomeno. Ma che viene invece rilevato dagli artisti, più preoccupati di indagare le ricadute psicologiche, cognitive, sociali e persino emotive di questo nuovo trend della rete. La condivisione sempre più intensa di materiali via web, il serrarsi degli scambi, e la vera e propria deflagrazione del fenomeno delle community vanno infatti a disegnare una nuova, sorprendente dimensione intima della rete. Non si tratta, naturalmente, di concetti inediti (lo stesso <strong>Tim Berners-Lee</strong>, il papà del World Wide Web, ha precisato più volte che nessuna vera innovazione è stata apportata, ma che si tratta semplicemente di uno stadio più “maturo” dell’uso di una tecnologia preesistente), ma lo scenario che si va delineando segna senz’altro una svolta. Chi partecipa allo sviluppo delle comunità e che ogni giorno affolla le reti di nuovi contenuti, tende infatti a condividere non solo informazioni utili, materiali di studio o intrattenimento. Quello che spesso si fa è semplicemente <em>mettere in scena se stessi</em><span>.<br />
</span>Interessi, sentimenti, pezzi di vita, stralci di quotidianità. La somma di tutti gli account attivi (le iscrizioni che si effettuano per poter accedere alle varie piattaforme) va a formare un sorprendente autoritratto. Un pacchetto di indizi che delineano un’esistenza, una personalità, che affermano il proprio essere nel metaverso digitale. Un autoritratto fatto magari di un blog dove annotare i propri pensieri, di un avatar su Second Life, di uno spazio su Flickr dove uploadare le proprie immagini, di un nickname su Last.fm che testimonia le nostre preferenze musicali, di una pagina su Twitter che racconta, minuto per minuto, le minime attività che compongono la nostra giornata. E poi ci sono i gruppi, le comunità a cui decidiamo di afferire, che offrono un ulteriore tassello al mosaico del nostro ID digitale.</p>
<p>Pone l’accento su questo aspetto una mostra recentemente allestita presso l’ <em>Edith Russ Site </em><em>for Media Art </em>di Oldenburg, in Germania. <em>My Own Private Reality &#8211; Growing up online in the </em><em>90s and 00s,</em> a cura di Sabine Himmelsbach e Sarah Cook, riunisce diciassette progetti d’artista che, in modi molto diversi tra loro, prendono come spunto il fenomeno del Web 2.0, delle community, dei <em>social software</em><span>.</span> Molte le opere che rivolgono uno sguardo caustico sul tema, offrendo parodie e versioni “riviste” di note piattaforme di social networking. È il caso di <em>Frienemies</em><span>,</span> dell’americana <strong>Angie Walker</strong>, che propone un prototipo di community basata sul disprezzo invece che sulla stima o sulla comunanza di interessi. Secondo il principio, <em>politically scorrect</em>, che ad unire le persone possano anche essere odi e idiosincrasie. Gli italiani <strong>Les Liens Invisible</strong> scelgono invece Flickr come obiettivo polemico, mettendo a punto <em>Subvertr</em><span>,</span> una piattaforma che incita ad un uso personale e sovversivo della cosiddetta <em>folksonomy</em>, il sistema di tagging associato alle immagini. <strong>Annina Rüst</strong> propone invece un <em>Sinister Social Network</em>, suggerendo come il formarsi di gruppi possa alimentare la cospirazione oltre che la costruzione di amicizie.</p>
<p>Non mancano i progetti dichiaratamente politici. Come l’ormai noto <em>Amazon Noir</em>, del trio <strong>ubermorgen.com/Paolo Cirio/Alessandro Ludovico</strong>, che testimonia un simbolico quanto reale furto di contenuti ai danni del database della libreria online Amazon, ponendo l’accento su problematiche scottanti come quella del copyright nell’era digitale. Ma a farla da padrone è l’ironia. La mostra, in gran parte composta da progetti online perciò esplorabile anche dal web, testimonia il tentativo della comunità artistica che abita la rete di svelare aspetti poco evidenti ed effetti collaterali inaspettati delle nuove applicazioni. Ponendoci di fronte alle contraddizioni, ai pericoli e alle ambiguità che l’uso delle nuove tecnologie generano, ma anche mostrandoci, senza paura, come esse ridefiniscano la nostra identità, influenzino il nostro vivere quotidiano, plasmino il nostro essere. Online e offline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tobecontinued</strong> is a group exhibition in progress that starts with some students of the Fine Arts Academy of Rome. Using <strong>Myspace</strong> as an interactive platform, <em>Tobecontinued</em> is based on the concepts of open art-work, cause and/vs effect, and free association of ideas	&#8221; where the last art-work is always inspired to the previous one, in order to generate an open art-work in continuous evolution that never completes itself. The process is constituted by the single works as video, animations, photos, music, net projects, and shows details, nuances and ideas of the whole art-work&#8217;s project. Let&#8217;s continue, joining with us and sending your art-work (max. 3 mb per email) at   <em>tobecontinued.tobecontinued@gmail.com</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are not ourselves. We cut and paste as we are cut and pasted. we are the remix of images and sounds that never existed outside of this mediated dream. And we are happy to exist this way. <strong>OneSmallStep</strong> is an unfolding automated jam &#8211; a conscious sampling and randomized regurgitation of MySpace.com media archeology wherein desire, fantasy and fetish form a composted feast for the withered and lonely senses in an eternally habitual loop of voyeuristic consumption, spectacular regurgitation, virtual intimacy and identity production/consumption.<br />
With each launch, OneSmallStep runs continuously while randomly remixing content form a database that is periodically updated. OneSmallStep is a conceptually interactive work, and also, a non-clickable work.</p>
<p>Important Technical Notes:<br />
Browser preferences must be set to accept pop-up windows.<br />
Browser must have Flash player (7 or later) installed.<br />
System speaker Volume up.<br />
Hi-speed connection prefered.</p>
<p>OneSmallStep: a Myspace LuvStory  is a project developed for Concept Trucking, an exhibiton venue maintained by LeisureArts that uses MySpace as its platform. It hosts work that critiques, mimics, or otherwise utilizes the structural logic of social networking sites and other Web 2.0 phenomena.</p>
<p>Last database update:<br />
