Web archiving has traditionally been something done by professionals: national archives, university libraries, and organizations like the Internet Archive have done a tremendous job archiving and making available a wide range of public web resources.
Rhizome now wants to empower regular users to take ownership of the web archiving process, and to take better grasp of access. Webrecorder allows anybody to archive web resources they care about with ease, including things on the other side of logins. This material can be made public on the web, or kept private. Yet in some cases users might want to better control how the web collections they have created are circulating, and maybe want to limit it to a certain community or keep it offline entirely.
Phallaina raconte l’histoire d’Audrey, une jeune fille qui souffre de crises hallucinatoires au cours desquelles elle voit des baleines. En lui faisant passer des examens, un neurologue décèle chez elle un physeter, une structure anomalique qui permet à ses porteurs de rester longtemps en apnée.
Phallaina est le récit intime d’une transformation personnelle, mêlant sciences cognitives et mythologie.
Marietta Ren Marietta se découvre une vocation artistique dès le lycée et fait plusieurs écoles d’art appliqué. Elle intègre l’école des Gobelins en section animation et décroche son diplôme de concepteur réalisateur de film d’animation. Sa carrière professionnelle commence alors par du character design sur plusieurs séries, mais aussi de l’animation et du storyboard.
L’opportunité de travailler sur du long métrage se présente rapidement et lui permet de participer à des projets tels qu’Ernest et Célestine et Un monde truqué. En parallèle, Marietta collabore à des expositions collectives d’illustrations chez Artludik. Elle publie son premier livre intitulé Je suis deux, en collaboration avec Eugény Couture à l’écriture. Aujourd’hui, Phallaina constitue sa plus grande aventure artistique ainsi qu’un défi technologique.
Rhizome is pleased to announce the first full release of Webrecorder, the free online tool that allows users to create their own high-fidelity archives of the dynamic web. All internet users are now invited to sign up for a free account with 5GB of archiving storage space at webrecorder.io.
Current digital preservation solutions involve complex, automated processes that were designed for a web made up of relatively static documents. Webrecorder, in contrast, can capture social media and other dynamic content, such as embedded video and complex javascript, while putting the user at the center of the archiving process.
This release offers a number of improvements to the fidelity, usability, and stability of the platform.

Although Dada didn’t invent collage, it was the first art movement to use it to collapse together images and ideas. Dada also pioneered concepts, logics, ideas and ways of working that were later transfused in contemporary digital tools, and became commonplace in the digital environment.
“We are Duchamp’s ideal children.”
— Vuk Cosic 1997
Celebrating DADA 100, and thanks to the open mindness of a private collector, the Link Art Center is sharing for over a year high quality digital copies of original Dada artworks and magazines, and inviting artists from all over the world to use them in their work. Browse them, download them, remix them, make copies and variations, integrate them in your video, animation, painterly, sculptural, interactive, whatever work, and then share it in our gallery. Dada is nothing, enjoy Dada!

Writer and technologist James Bridle explores the concept of 'Algorithmic Citizenship' in new work Citizen Ex, co-commissioned by The Space and Southbank Centre.
We are living in a world where our online identity is more relevant than ever. The way we behave online, the sites we visit, the people we interact with, has real-world implications. Visiting websites involves crossing invisible borders, both geographical and legal. In this world where you are from is less important than what you do.
This is having an effect on how we understand the very concept of citizenship. Typically linked to our place of birth or family history, the way our online identity is defined is increasingly complicating this notion, and carries with it a risk of undermining the rights traditionally associated with it. The NSA, GCHQ and other security services rely on browsing data to assign citizenship to anonymous online users, and determine if they can be surveilled. As a result of this constant appraisal, an internet user's status under law may change from moment to moment, affecting your most fundamental rights as a citizen.
.
Citizen Ex is a downloadable plug-in for web browsers that tracks online movements against the physical locations of where websites are legally registered. It compiles this information to ascertain the real-time ‘algorithmic citizenship’ of the user and produces a ‘flag’ to represent the areas of jurisdictions traversed in any given online session.
Dans le cadre de ce blog de recherche portant sur la culture mobile, il importe de rendre compte de l’émergence d’une scène créative depuis les usages des terminaux mobiles, de leurs fonctionnalités (textos, photos, vidéos, emojis) et de leurs services (applications, plate-formes etc.)
Parmi ceux qu’on désigne comme les nouveaux « talents numériques », cette figure culturelle de l’ère digitale et de ses publics expressivistes et remixeurs, nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer en mars 2015, Anne Horel, GIF artiste dont la panoplie créative mobile ne cesse de s’étendre avec virtuosité.
GIFs are really global now. Well, not much more than before, but Alessandro Scali—who previously allowed us to bring GIFs anywhere with the Giphoscope—made a public Google Map based on @giphy artists list that gives visitors an easy way to see the glitchy, DIY animations from creatives all over the world. Explore the animation: here.
From Haydiroket in Turkey to Mike + Claire in New York (old favorites of The Creators Project), the map is the step in the right direction for categorizing and archiving the various individuals working in a medium that's only beginning to get recognized as an art medium. The map by no means represents the whole GIF community, and many names are missing, but as Scali notes, "it's a first step."
The map includes 78 artists from 19 different countries, which probably doesn't even scratch the surface of the amount of GIF tinkerers out there. ...
Want to be added on the map? Contact me at lssndrscl@gmail.com or info@okkul.lt, and don't forget to write your website and your location.
After four succesful competitions, this year we celebrate the 5th AppArtAward-anniversary this year. The ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Cyberforum e.V. and their partners are again looking for the best artworks in app format. The AppArtAward honors apps that represent advanced artistic applications. Besides artistic aspects the creative integration as well as the use of options offered by new technologies is important.
In a world filled with ever-more-complex technological, sociological, ecological, political & economic systems... a tool to make interactive simulations may not be that much help. But it can certainly try.

From the Sky to the Earth est un livre d'artiste de Fabien Zocco. Juste une œuvre prenant la forme d'un livre numérique. Une base de données répertoriant des noms attribués à des étoiles (Aldebaran, Proxima, etc...) est parcourue aléatoirement. À chaque terme selectionné vient se juxtaposer l'image saisie dans Google Street View d'un lieu quelque part sur terre (ville, lieu-dit, rue etc...), dont le toponyme est identique au nom de l'étoile.
Ce livre peut être téléchargé sur votre Mac ou appareil iOS avec iBooks. Les livres Multi-Touch peuvent être lus sur votre Mac ou appareil iOS avec iBooks. Les livres avec du contenu interactif peuvent être plus fonctionnels sur un appareil iOS. iBooks sur votre Mac nécessite OS X 10.9 ou une version ultérieure.

Widget Art Gallery, developed and curated by Chiara Passa, is an exhibition space that fits in your pocket. This digital gallery is an app for iPhones and iPads. Over email, I asked Passa several questions about the project:
What was your motivation behind starting the Widget Art Gallery?
Different reasons led me to start the Widget Art Gallery.
The first one is that I’ve always wanted to do my own curatorial digital art project in relation to a space.
The second reason is the economic crisis. So, it was unreasonable for me to rent an exposition space since it was too binding, and three years ago I decided to create a virtual display space that Id thought extremely coherent in order to show digital art; simple to manage for me and easy to understand for users. Due to our needs that seem to be increasingly handheld, WAG was born. The Widget Art Gallery is a mini three-D, single art gallery room that fits into people’s pocket.
In art and myth, the journey is usually a heroic quest, dripping with metaphor. But what if a journey involves, instead of a highly-sought destination and revelation, simply bouncing between ports in the most banal way possible, like on the cross-channel ferry between Dover and Calais?
For artist Simon Faithfull, the anti-heroic banality of this crossing made it a perfect launching ground for his Limbo project (commissioned by the Film and Video Umbrella), which transmits and geo-locates, in real time, digital drawings made by Faithfull via a custom-made iPhone app. For a full six days (May 14th through 19th), Faithfull stayed on the ferry for an unorthodox artist residency orchestrated by artconnexion, a French art organization, going back and forth in this "window between states" while he created -- and instantly broadcast -- drawings on his iPhone. ...
The net.art movement makes art an interactive, almost tangible experience. Sounds like something else we know.
“Art,” as an uppercase institution comprised of oil paint portraits in gilded frames and cracked marble statues of muscular young men, is notoriously unwelcoming of audience participation. “No Touching” is the Met’s most important rule; guards pointedly remind visitors of this as they amble through the galleries. Snap a flash-less picture of the Van Gogh’s and the Picassos; Instagram, tweet, or tumble; move on.
Even contemporary art, so attached to the medium of immersive installation, has the audacity to demand “hands off.” Within an installation, it is easy to feel as though you are missing the point, if there even was a point to begin with. Chris Burden’s "A Tale of Two Cities," for example, replicates a battle field with a militia of static action figures and toy vehicles. A partition separates you from the stationary scene, but binoculars are provided in case you want to feel closer to the massive setup. ...
