Our latest video entitled, Data Loss, will be premiering this Friday, March 16 at Links Hall in Chicago as part of Arte No Es Facil. Data Loss is comprised of the binary translation of all communication between the artists and their partners in Cuba as they attempted to configure and realize a work in partnership. Simultaneously confronting the limitations and possibilities of digital communication, language, and physical distance, Data Loss is the story of the creative potential so often lost in translation.

ARTE NO ES FÁCIL is a project “based in creating relationships beyond pictures between Cuba and the US through the manifestation of art. The project seeks to create a two-way passage for dialogue, collaboration, and information between our two countries by establishing connections between artists separated by location and context, yet sharing an interest in form, content or strategy.”

Here is some beautiful digital art-making. It’s giving me some ideas about The Facebook Project (tentative title that I’m not really happy with…). Enjoy.

“AFP writes that five French journalists have agreed to lock themselves in a farmhouse in France for five days, where they’ll write news based only on what they read on Twitter and Facebook.”

You can read a bit more about it here.

We had a strong feeling that the painter’s name started with an A.

A few Google searches later, we found it. But the image led us to this great website out of Amsterdam.

“The Institute of Artificial Art.”

Enjoy.
