Skawennati: From Skyworld to Cyberspace, 2020
From Sky World to Cyberspace, the exhibition by Skawennati that accompanies this catalogue, forges experimental conceptions of Indigenous sovereignty, historical narratives and self-expression. Skawennati’s work negotiates and recovers past and current issues facing Indigenous peoples for the benefit of future generations.1 Drawing on ancestral stories to map such realities is an elemental philosophy of Indigenous Futurism, the cultural movement reimagining the artistic and social potential of Indigenous peoples now and tomorrow. From Sky World to Cyberspace adopts the framework of Indigenous Futurism to perceive the future of Indigenous peoples as synonymous with hope. From Sky World to Cyberspace, l’exposition de Skawennati qui accompagne ce catalogue, se veut un agencement expérientiel des conceptions de la souveraineté autochtone, des récits historiques et de l’expression de soi. L’art de Skawennati traite et remanie des enjeux historiques et actuels relatifs aux premiers peuples dans l’optique des générations à venir1. Puiser dans les histoires ancestrales pour cartographier ces nouvelles réalités est un des fondements du Futurisme autochtone, un mouvement culturel qui s’affaire à repenser le potentiel artistique et social des peuples autochtones d’aujourd’hui et de demain. L’approche du Futurisme autochtone dans laquelle s’inscrit l’exposition From Sky World to Cyberspace conçoit un avenir rempli d’espoir pour les peuples autochtones.
Folkways in Wonderland: a cyberworld laboratory for ethnomusicology
2011
In this paper we describe a musical cyber world-a collaborative, immersive virtual environment for browsing musical databases-together with an experimental design launching a new sub discipline: the ethnomusicology of controlled musical cyberspaces. Research in ethnomusicology, the ethnographic study of music in its socio-cultural environment, has typically been conducted through qualitative fieldwork in uncontrolled, real-world settings.
#mm Net Art—Internet Art in the Virtual and Physical Space of Its Presentation,, 2019
What is Net art? Does its name refer to the medium it uses? Is it the art of the Netizens, the inhabitants of the internet? Is it an art movement or an art form? This book aims to provide a starting point in the search for answers to these and similar questions concerning the existence of Internet art. Edited by Marie Meixnerová, a Czech curator and scholar, #mm Net Art—Internet Art in the Virtual and Physical Space of Its Presentation approaches Internet art as a developing art form, through five thematic sections that map the “chronological” stages of this development. Featured authors include Katarína Rusnáková, Dieter Daniels, Marie Meixnerová, Domenico Quaranta, Natalie Bookchin, Alexei Shulgin, Piotr Czerski, Brad Troemel, Artie Vierkant, Ben Vickers, Jennifer Chan, Gene McHugh, Gunther Reisinger, Matěj Strnad, Lumír Nykl. For those who know little about it, this anthology can serve as an introduction to this specific area of Twentieth and Twenty-first century art; to the expert reader, it offers new and as yet unpublished information, and hopefully a new perspective on the phenomenon of Internet art. According to Domenico Quaranta: “#mm net art is an anthology edited and filtered from a very specific node in the network. This is exactly what makes it so precious: in a networked world in which all information seems to be available in the same form, at the same speed and on the same screens, your point of access is what actually shapes your point of view; and looking through another’s point of view is what allows you to think outside your own box, pardon, bubble.”
