A bug in Galaxy Attack war game reminding Super Mario Clouds of Cory Arcangel

This is not the first time that something like this happens to me... 
 
For some mysterious reasons, everytime I query about what's beyond the profit capitalistic aspect of a game, an "error" or an "accident" occurs and turns the game into a poetic and experimental experience!
 
It happened with Hungry Shark Evolution, and now again with Galaxy Attack war game where almost everything in the game interface just disappears except a never ending kind of clouds surfing...

Séminaire « Art politique, art et politique»

Prélude à la création des « Multaka Ibn Rochd »

BEYROUTH
30 & 31 octobre 2012
Prélude à la création des « Multaka Ibn Rochd »
deux tables rondes inscrites « sous le signe d’Averroès », organisées par Shams
en marge du salon du Livre francophone de Beyrouth

Pour la première fois cette année, les Rencontres d’Averroès françaises trouvent un prolongement au Liban, à l’initiative de Shams, en collaboration avec l’Institut Français de Beyrouth, Zinc, les Instants Vidéo, Espaceculture et la région PACA.
Ces deux tables rondes qui se tiendront fin octobre constituent un prélude à la création des « Multaka Ibn Rochd », édition libanaise des Rencontres d’Averroès orientée sur les problématiques artistiques et culturelles qui traversent le monde méditerranéen.

Le thème « Culture de la révolution, révolution des cultures » sera décliné lors de deux tables rondes. Dans un monde arabe agité, bouleversé voire écroulé, les débats évoqueront les changements sociopolitiques et culturels en place dans le monde arabes et seront diffusés sous forme audio/vidéo sur le site des Rencontres d’Averroés et SHAMS. Ils feront écho à la deuxième table ronde des Rencontres de Marseille « Entre renaissance citoyenne et transparence politique, révolution numérique ou contrôle des libertés ».

La première table ronde évoquera le recours aux technologies de la communication et de l’information dans tous les domaines, et singulièrement dans la culture, impliquant à la fois les artistes et les citoyens pour vivre la société 2.0, la subir ou l’inventer. La deuxième table reviendra sur le printemps arabe - révolution et culture : une révolution culturelle ou une culture de révolutions – sous des angles scientifiques et artistiques.

1er table ronde mardi 30 octobre
«Les artistes et la révolution numérique», animée par Claudine Dussolier [géographe, auteur, responsable de projets culturels et multimédia]
Avec :
Claire Duport, sociologue
Marc Mercier, réalisateur et directeur des Instants Vidéo
Ricardo Mbarkho, Artiste, chercheur et enseignant au Liban/ Réseau Yasmin
Georges Dorlian, responsable des relations internationales de l’Université de Balamand [Liban]

2e table ronde mercredi 31 octobre
«Un printemps ou un hiver Arabe!»,
Avec :
Nicolas Dot-Pouillard, Chercheur MAEE en sciences politiques à l'Institut français du Proche-Orient (IFPO).
Pierre Abi Saab , journaliste et écrivain
Roger Assaf, homme de théâtre et écrivain

Grading the Lebanese Constitution

Today I opened the new online project 'Grading the Lebanese Constitution', that is a web based project where people can make anonymous grading for any and every article of the actual Lebanese Constitution. An Overall Average Grade is constantly displayed and updated. This grading centered project with its mass evaluation process implies different ways of reading the numbers and graphs of all the statistical results. It's a work that deals with data interpretation to offer multiple analysis levels relative to our emotional and rational attitude toward the Constitution.

17e Biennale de Paris, Nicosia, 19-25 oct. 2010

Reinventing the terminology of art


The 17th Biennale de Paris is taking place where things are occurring.
From 19 to 25 October 2010, it is in Nicosia in partnership with Artos
Foundation around the project "Reinventing the terminology of art".

Art was built by successive liberations from its own values. New practices
appeared along with new terms. A term always arises from an existing
practice and defines it thus that it was hitherto indefinable. Name it is
to have it exist. Moreover it allows a progression and an extension of the
practice from which it is deriving. The terminology of art has changed
very little over the last fifty years. Accepting the immobility of the
terminology of art would be admitting the impossibility of historical
continuity. On the contrary, a renewed terminology is an encouraging sign
that art is being transformed. This is why an update has become essential.
The nature of the Biennale de Paris constitutive steps means that the
usual art words are insufficient to realise, to identify or to describe
them. In that, new words or terms are necessary. These terms are laying
the foundations of a new art terminology.

Biennale de Paris
Building on an outstanding historical heritage, key driver of the art of
the second half of the twentieth century, the Biennale de Paris revives
today, fifty years after its creation by André Malraux with the
fundamentals of its creator, experimentation and confidence in youth,
while meeting the challenges of the 21st century art. In a global and
highly polished art world, it has the ambition to be a place where borders
and bodies of authority are finally exceeded. It is a strategy serving
dissident practices in mainstream art. Its goal is to change the idea of
art. It is promoting invisual* practices and in that the Biennale de Paris
is supporting an art without art works, exhibitions, curators and without
an audience.

*New word of art which refers to an artistic practice stripped of all
visual character.

Artos Foundation
A contemporary arts and science center dedicated to research and
creativity: two magical worlds of adventure and discovery, encompassing
sojourns into the fields of learning, chaos and imagination. Its premises,
both transcendental and material, inspire the contemporary artist/creator
and the scientist/creator alike, offering to both a platform, promoting
them at a local and international level, with quality being the main
criterion. ARTos is unique in its kind, harmoniously uniting, through a
pre-Socratic approach, Art and Science, with the addressor, as well as the
ultimate addressee, Man. The ARTos Foundation aspires to play the role of
attracting and challenging the contemporary artist/creator as well as the
scientist/researcher, both of whom, through their eternally-inquisitive
and insatiable nature, question and doubt, always striving to go one step
further. ARTos is that space where creative ideas will be born and take
shape free of exploitation, and with the intellectual rights of the
inspirers and creators being firmly and respectfully established and
safeguarded.

THE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY

In 2001, I initiated a yearly national day, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July (this year the 3-7-2010), is dedicated to TABBOULEH.

The TABBOULEH is the most famous Lebanese traditional dish, adulated by all the inhabitants of the cedar’s country, and adopted by number of gastronomes in the world. It’s a dish that unites, in a country torn by wars and tensions; a symbolic dish by the diversity of its ingredients: Like the Lebanese nation, its delicate harmony is threatened anytime that one of its components is separated or even neglected, while its colors, green, white and red are those of the Lebanese flag.

During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country. This year, a big public gathering is organized at Souk el Tayeb in Saifi Village (downtown - Beirut), where savoring and competitions of the best TABBOULEH will take place (www.soukeltayeb.com).

In 2007, the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism granted its approval and its patronage officially for the NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY.

Let's celebrate all together the next NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY that will take place on Saturday July 3, 2010.

April 2009 YASMIN Discussion: New Media: User

April 2009 YASMIN Discussion: New Media: User's Behavior, Social Systems, and the Body Politic


This discussion deals with how (new) media can affect local behaviours related to creativity and innovation within a socio-political context, and what is the link between politic and the ways that users behave.
We are interested in exploring how artistic and cultural expression in a given location can be affected by global networked systems, and the interactions with social systems and behaviours. The Intention behind artworks vs. new media as a device for being in touch, so for being creative.

SMS strategies can affect politics and democracy, especially with programs based on mass voting via SMS; depending on the voting results, this social activity can challenge the community isolation versus the fear of dissolution into a more regional or global system.
Politics uses (new) media when planning and imagining dozens of utopian models for the country; but media power is explored on the other hand by artists who reflect the absurdity of the politic.


Virtual social networks maintain difficult relations caused by economical necessities that force families to disperse physically in order to seek living. In this vibrant atmosphere, the identity and belonging convictions are often scrambled by the eclectic media content.
--

Questions that are raised include:
- Is (new) media a tool which reinforces people's creativity and how it is expressed in terms of social behaviour?
- How are democracy and social connectivity via new media related?
- Are global and local systems two separate entities, or is it about one place?
- What is the impact of the media content on identity in your socio-politic sphere?
- How is the economy affecting visual forms of communication?
- Do artworks emerge from a specific Intention or from media models constrained by business requirements?
- What new roles do virtual social networks adopt to maintain difficult relations?

The video “Arameans” by Ricardo Mbarkho is now entirely available online on this site.

Arameans
Lebanon (2007), video, color, 3 min 36 sec

This video questions the mobility of the Arameans in the Lebanese social context; this is through the example of an Assyrian woman who has undergone one of the explosions in Beirut. Since they moved from Iraq, until their departure from Syria, are the Arameans who hold their language and their religion pursued again by terrorism in Lebanon?

The National Lebanese Tabbouleh Day. 2008

A yearly national day dedicated to Tabbouleh, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July. This year, for the 8th year, it’s in the 5th of July 2008.

The Tabbouleh is the most famous Lebanese traditional dish, adulated by all the inhabitants of the cedar’s country, and adopted by number of gastronomes in the world. It’s a symbolic dish by the diversity of its ingredients: Like the Lebanese nation, its delicate harmony is threatened anytime that one of its components is separated or even neglected, while its colors, green, white and red are those of the Lebanese flag.

During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country. How? It is sufficient that each one eats the Tabbouleh while knowing that he or she is sharing it with all Lebanese people in the world and their friends! Let's celebrate all together the next NATIONAL DAY OF THE TABBOULEH!

The Association of Lebanese Artists presents « Lebanon Now », the art exhibition of the new media. Sponsored by USAID, this exhibition shows works done with the latest technological means. These works question Lebanon today, which is more disconcerting and intriguing than ever. The artists experiment with the binary code and look at Information and Communication Technology from a new perspective. The artists « tell » their Lebanon through the elements of their numerical world, i.e. images, sound, and words. This event transposes the observer (turned into user) into a new aesthetical experiment.



The participation of Ricardo Mbarkho:

Type of work: Digital images
Title: Digital visuals from Lebanon
© 2008
Ricardo Mbarkho presents « Digital visuals from Lebanon », a series of digital images printed on large format photo papers based on the numerous agreements signed by the Lebanese State since the independence of Lebanon. In order to obtain these images, the artist uses the capacity of the computer to render the files containing the texts of these agreements as if they were image files. The computer calculated the binary code of each text file and generated the corresponding image. The series comprises images of binary codes of texts such as: the Doha agreement, the Taef accord, the Lebanon-Syria Treaty of Brotherhood, Cooperation and Coordination, the tripartite agreement, the Cairo agreement, the national pact, the Lebanese constitution, as well as the word « Lebanon » itself.

Beirut and Media Art today
Presentation by Ricardo Mbarkho

In his lecture, Ricardo Mbarkho talks about today's media art scene in Beirut. He also shows a selection of videos where many approaches are tackled to question the identity crisis in today's Lebanese socio-political and cultural sphere. The war on Lebanon since 1975 remains a major concern for the multicultural Lebanese society. Today, Lebanon is witnessing one of its tensest political divisions, and failed to elect a president able to bridge the gap between the current government and the opposition. The impact between the Middle East conflict, the media system and art is raised by Mbarkho from the geographical and the historical angles.

Seminar by Ricardo Mbarkho at RAMI

With this seminar, participants widen their knowledge, experiments and research in art using new media. They study and think the New Technologies of Information and Communication (Internet/Cyberspace, mobiles, satellites, digital networks, interactive games, etc.) with their impact on the artist’s social and political environment, and how this impact is or could be shaped in their projects. So what are the new possibilities to experiment with? How to collaborate with electronic engineers and scientists for this purpose? What are the new esthetics that were never possible before the invention of the virtual/cyberspace, of the interactivity, and of the digital network with the Internet? This seminar is theory and aesthetic oriented; a research laboratory in new media art is thus implemented in class. The aim is to cover a quick overview on the history of new media art in order to analyze art works and understand the judgment criterion for this new esthetic. The participants are constantly oriented to define and locate their positioning as artists operating in the new media field, within the global today’s art practices.

THE 6th LEBANESE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY, Saturday July 01, 2006

An annual national day, which is the first Saturday of the month of July, is dedicated to TABBOULEH where all the Lebanese people celebrate this link between each other and their home country. TABBOULEH is known as one of the famous and traditional Lebanese dish that every Lebanese loves. In this day, Lebanese and friends around the world gather in private or in public to celebrate and enjoy the taste of TABBOULLEH. This gathering demonstrates and strengthens their love and integrity with Lebanon and carries a lot of meanings to the Lebanese community wherever they are in this world. This unique social gathering and experience that we will share all together wherever we are, will strengthen our communication, coherence and cooperation in the name of the Free and Independent LEBANON. So let us all participate in the upcoming LEBANESE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY which will be on Saturday, July 01, 2006. Alf sa7tayn w hana ------- In 2006, THE 6th LEBANESE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY is presented by the BIENNALE DE PARIS: BIENNALE DE PARIS Communiqué du 22 juin 2006 --------------------------------------------- THE LEBANESE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY Location: Beirut, Lebanon Date: 07.01.2006 The 15th Paris Biennial which will take place from the 1st until the 31st of October 2006 in Paris (France) and abroad presents the National Lebanese Tabbouleh Day. This Day is celebrated each year, on the first Saturday of July. This year it will take place on the 1st of July, for the sixth consecutive year. This gathering of the Lebanese community around a traditional meal is opened to everyone and without pretension. Its only ambition is to try to smooth the tensions and divisions suffered by a people bruised by a thirty-year-long war. This simple and original approach was launched in 2001 by Ricardo Mbarak, artist and professor at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts, Beirut. Since then the celebrators have grown in number and have circulated the information via Internet and word of mouth. Thanks to this initiative more than 240 000 people in Lebanon, Canada, the United States and Europe have gathered in 2005. So it's up to you to spread the news and join us around this meal: all you need is the right recipe, a bit of friendliness and cheerfulness. Recipe: 350 g bulgur or cracked wheat 5 minced bunches of parsley 2 snipped bunches of mint 3 diced tomatoes 1 sliced small green onion 1 sliced small white onion A thin line of olive oil Lemon juice, salt and pepper Cook the bulgur following instructions on packet. Slice the onions and add pepper and salt Add parsley and mint Pour olive oil and lemon juice and mix thoroughly Add the tomatoes dices. "The idea is not to eat the meal as such. It happens in your head, in the acknowledgement of this common link".

Art, Design and Technology in the Arab States. Dubai

Online platform on art, design and technology in the Arab States, permits oral language to become images reflecting the rich Arab cultural environment. The UNESCO DigiArts Team organized an experts meeting on the evaluation and stocktaking of the Masters Module on Art, Design and Technology in the Arab States on 9 April 2006, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates at the Kitabat: Arabic Calligraphy and Typography Conference. Twenty one students completed the online part of the module and submitted project proposals in applying their newly acquainted skills in creative thinking, writing and design. Online teachers expressed their surprise in the success of the course and complemented the enthusiasm of the students, but also the quality of the visual material that was produced. The online environment managed and hosted by the MediaLab in Helsinki, permitted not only an in-depth exchange of ideas and documentation on the visual environment in the Arab States but dialogue among students also served as motivation to create artworks reflecting their rich cultural environment. The online course material included Arabic typography and design culture, Typographic Landscape in the Arab world, and the introduction to Art and New Media in the Arab States, with a case-study of Lebanon. The experts meeting permitted furthermore the organizers to finalize the logistics for the second part of the online and face-to-face Masters module “Digital imaging in art and design”, to take place at ALBA (Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts), AUB (American University of Beirut) and LAU (Lebanese American University) starting from 26 June 2006. Fourteen students from 5 countries in the Arab States with different academic backgrounds were selected to participate in the second module. Lastly, next steps were discussed in expanding the network of universities in the region involved in Art, Design and Technology and promoting the masters initiative within the Arab States. The American University in Dubai is thanked for their hospitality in organizing the intervention of DigiArts in the Kitabat: Arabic Calligraphy and Typography Conference and the logistical support provided for the Experts Meeting. The Conference is an example of the growing demand of interest in Arabic calligraphy and typographic design in the region and the need to map a future for the Arabic script that is fully engaged with both the latest technologies and knowledge of its rich past.

CONNECTED in Archée. A text by Evelyne Rogue

A french text by Evelyne Rogue, released in Archée : "De l'esthétique de l'implémentation à l'esthétique de la commutation et de l'interactivité dévoilante" Evelyne Rogue September 2003 Section CYBERTHÉORIE Abstract : "Mode de création distinct, disions-nous, mode de réception de l'œuvre aussi; à tel point qu'il faut d'ores et déjà admettre que l'expérience esthétique de l'art en réseau rompt totalement avec l'expérience esthétique, dite traditionnelle, néo-kantienne, laquelle s'était d'ailleurs déjà trouvée dépassée par l'art cinétique. Cependant, il semble que dans le cas de l'art électronique et numérique, plus que nulle part ailleurs et plus que jamais aussi, l'expérience esthétique qui préside à chaque œuvre impose de faire des discriminations délicates, de discerner des rapports subtils, d’identifier des systèmes symboliques et des caractères à l’intérieur de ces systèmes. Si N. Goodman a pu soutenir cette thèse, c'est parce que dans le cas de l'art en réseau, comme dans tout autre art, mais plus que dans tout autre aussi, il est nécessaire d’interpréter et de réorganiser le monde en termes d’œuvres et les œuvres dans les termes du monde, comme nous le propose R. Mbarak avec Connected" Direct link to the text : http://www.archee.qc.ca/ar.php?page=imp&no=211 Link to CONNECTED: http://www.ricardombarak.com/connected/
