2008. DISCUSSION PANELS PROGRAMME

Place: La Casa Encendida (Ronda de Valencia No. 2, Madrid)Date: 7th and 8th FebruaryTime: From 17.00 to 21.00 h.

Continuing the practice established in the last editions, this year the debate tables are organised once again in collaboration with La Casa Encendida.  As in previous editions, on the one hand, the debate tables will present the projects produced for Madrid Abierto and, on the other, they will introduce different initiatives developed within the sphere of art in the public space.

The round tables will include the active participation of the commission set up last year to debate the model of Madrid Abierto.  The commission's co-ordinator, Rocío Gracia, and its members, Cecilia Anderson, Guillaume Désanges, Jorge Díez, Ramón Parramon, María Inés Rodríguez and Fito Rodríguez, together with this edition's organisers, the collective DEMOCRACIA.

For the artists’ presentations, the event's organisers have established three groups, although aware that the groups may be pervious and that one same project may meet several of the established premises. On the one hand, we will have the projects that make the contemporary class conflict visible, as well as a temporary suspension of the exclusions generated by this conflict, on another hand, those that employ elements or the propagandistic language of the urban scene, and lastly, those more closely associated with forms of urban culture.

The artistic experience developed in the public space faces the complex task of intervening in a saturated and hyper-aesthetized space with few fissures. The temporary and ephemeral nature of these artistic practices often places obstacles in the way of the dissemination and development possibilities of many interesting proposals that would require more time, with respect to the prior investigation and the subsequent production of the interventions as well as the desirable convergence with other projects and other social and cultural agents. In light of this, the opening of new spaces is needed to encourage other forms of production and dissemination, as well as the creation of networks of information and collaboration between this kind of artistic practices. For this reason, every year Madrid Abierto aims to give exposure to other similar experiences. In this edition, Nelson Brissac and Vit Havranek will be responsible for presenting invited projects, offering their experience in the debate on the strategies applied to the city and the territory from an artistic perspective, with more or less emphasis on experimentation, multi-discipline, the process and interaction with the public.

2008. Fernando Llanos. [VI VÍDEO] (theoretical data)

[ vi video ]Videointervenciones móviles en contextos urbanos específicos

Videoman is the element that combines residues of urban media supports with the technological world. It is made from fragments and, at the same time, it generates fragmentation.

The project creates new ways (or extrapolated ways) of creating narratives. It ceases to be something where, when at all, mobility takes place on the screen in front of us, to become something that flows with us. The movement lies with the motion of the people, cars and city life.Influenza [Raquel Rennó and Rafael Marchetti]

IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED AT

- 5th Mercosul Biennal, Porto Alegre, Brazil, 2005.- Festival of electronic arts and video TRANSITIO_MX, Centro Nacional de las Artes, Mexico, 2005.- 35th Cervantino International Festival, Guanajuato, 2006.

A project of urban videointerventions carried out by making the most of the artist’s body gear to highlight the dynamics referred to by the author as “urban acupuncture”, generating momentary reflections in parts of the city where he appears as VIDEOMAN. A different harness is generated for each edition to experiment other ways of projecting in the streets of the cities.

Everything is recorded in photographs and videos, and everything is subsequently mounted in the shape of an installation.

On the one hand, this project seeks to bring the specialised public closer to non familiar spaces not specifically reserved for art, and, on the other, to get the people who live and pass through those spaces to question aspects of their everyday life, reassessing its history and/or open the way for interaction between artist and public.

INTRODUCTION

We cannot go on expecting people to visit museums on their own initiative. We must take our reflections to their spaces and gain ground in a decisive way, like graffiti that yells out in the streets, “we are here, and this is what we think!”, like pirate radio stations that don’t wait around to disseminate their ideas, share their findings or spread their beliefs, like some metro and street musicians, poets and performers.

DESCRIPTION

A series of videointerventions will be performed in the junctions of Paseo de la Castellana and Paseo del Prado with Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía, linking the history or the characteristics of the space to the content of the videos. Afterwards, we propose presenting the results of the videointerventions performed in Madrid, México and Brazil, in La Casa de América.

For more information on the nature of urban videointerventions and how the piece can be mounted, we attach a number of images, but you can see videos in:www.lanos.com/vi_video

VIDEOINTERVENTIONS

These initiatives captivate the public in a direct and surprising way. Their mobile nature makes them ephemeral, and they are mobile because of a harness that I design to enable me to move around and use all the equipment.

The content of the projections may be related to the history of the place, recent events associated with the place and/or local reflections of popular interest. Passers-by can be involved as part of the act and the piece through a “closed circuit” system.

PORTABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT

Taking advantage of the technological advantages of our era, where equipment is increasingly smaller and more portable, I will wear a harness to hold the camera, two miniDVs decks, a video mixer, the projector and the batteries, in order to subsequently make a tour in which I perform the action.

MOBILITY

The kit mounted in the harness allows me to move and establish different relations with the space and with the people present. On the one hand, this enables me to generate participative dynamics with projections in motion, causing reactions whilst following a specific action, changing trajectory, measuring the interest, etc. On the other hand, for each video shot or sequence, to search for a changing plane in accordance with the specific discourse of the projected video.

CONTENT OF THE PROJECTIONS

1. The previously produced content related to the area.2. The content generated in situ with the provoking camera (closed circuit) which projects and manipulates the participation of passers-by.

THE PROCESS

Investigate the locations, part of the history and its contemporary problem issues, analyse the best times and places for carrying out the videointervention based on the flow of people and the significant aspects that may arise from working in that space. I record the images and I start to work on the video to be projected. On the day of the intervention, the material is projected in the previously selected space. The act, the reaction of the people and their relationship with the pieces, if they get involved, is recorded.

2008. Fernando Llanos. [VI VÍDEO] (published text)

[vi video] Mobile Videointerventions in specific urban contexts.

“Fernando Llanos is one of the most interesting experimental artists in contemporary Mexico. His work shifts between several territories and disciplines, including video, robotics, ciberart and performance.” Guillermo Goméz-Peña. Artist.

Videoman captures the collective subconscious precisely where culture and counterculture meet. The stage is the street, a laboratory where people make their way without noticing how they transform their environment and create new models of coexistence.

The artist makes us reflect on the type of conscious which can be generated by a society where the masses obstruct, uniform and ignore but nevertheless create certain voids where the human being can flow individually - voids employed by Llanos to change both our routine and our spaces.

His reflections are projected in video format in different, previously analysed points of the city. The ephemeral and mobile nature of the project involves the public through a closed-circuit system that records the reactions to this participative action defined by its creator as “urban acupuncture”.

The new intervention is projected in the junction of Paseo de la Castellana, Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía and it is presented together with those presented in Casa de América in Brazil and Mexico.

DEJÀ VU, 2005Vídeo-instalación-lowetech-caseraPresented in the Casa del Lago, Ciudad de México

A.Casa del Lago (House in the lake) is a historic monument with a very rich past: in 1908 the first lacustrine area in the old Mexican Venice is created as seat of the Automobile Club. Later, it hosted literary gatherings and dances for the Mexican aristocracy as well as elegant parties during the celebrations for the centenary of Independence. At one point it was even the private residence of the ex-president Adolfo de la Huerta, the Agricultural Ministry and Headquarters of the National University’s Biological Studies. In 1959 it becomes a Cultural Centre outside the UNAM, turning into the biggest educational institution for new public, a nationwide model of Arts Centre and a landmark for the rest of Latin America at that time. It is there where, many years later, Andrea di Castro will present his first tele-installation and where Sarah Minter would teach her first video-art workshop. Nowadays it averages about 4000 visits a week.

2. “Dejà vu” literally means “already seen” in French. It’s an experience that psychiatrists define as “any inappropriate subjective impression of a present, which is familiar to an indeterminate past”. Some theories state that it has to do with unfulfilled wishes, that it’s the expression of the wish to repeat a past experience, but this time with better results. 70% of the population has experienced, at some point, a dejà vu.

III.This is a piece that deals with memory, or, in other words “about the lack of…”About one’s will in relation to past (or yet to come) situations and events.

Ernst Kapp reflected on the idea that every machine is an extension of the body and that in their construction is reflected, in a direct or veiled manner, a way of conceiving nature. The video camera enables us to visualize and better interpret how the act of remembrance works, by generating a temporal route of images captured to recreate an experience. The act of bringing something to memory is intimate; the camera exemplifies that way of grasping that which is ungraspable and brings forth its ephemeral nature.

The materiality of a memory is similar to an image in movement, it’s a collection of captured data, by the human-mind, or camera-mind; only that the video creates a collective experience, where intimacy is captured in a massive gesture, to alter the course of the memory, for at the moment the images are captured by the eye-camera they become a series of past moments that are conserved.

Thus, Fernando Llanos extends his body to a time machine, in a coarse artefact where delayed moments are apprehended. The game consists of decoding and showing the moment it takes to bring what is captured, in some way it makes the mechanism’s process evident, to open up the access to human factor in technology.

The project serves as impulse to activate awareness on the complexity of technique and focus on the facts, in the past that remains impregnated upon a place to hear it’s own chronic. By investigating the inside of each place we will find the echo of a thousand events, where the mind of the artist can recreate, re-signify and offer an open interpretation so that memories with a dejà vu scent may emerge from a tape.

INTRODUCTION TEXT IN SELF-ADHERENT VINYL

INTRODUCTION

Urban video-intervention project done by exploiting the artist’s corporal infrastructure and underline a dynamic that the author likes to call “urban acupuncture”, creating punctual thoughts in some parts of the city where he appears as VIDEOMAN. For each edition he makes a different harness to experiment using new ways of projecting on the city streets.

Everything is recorded on video and photos, and then is edited as installation to be projected in Casa de America.

Firstly, this project tries to bring the specialized public closer to unconventional locations that are not used specifically for artistic purposes and, secondly, to make people that live or pass by these areas question aspects of daily life. 

VIDEOMANBy Mauricio Alejo

Unlike other beings, Videoman has a superpower: to make himself noticed. This ability, that is a drag if you want to fight evil, is one of the strong points of his project. By this prominence, which is implicit but also assumed and fabricated, he achieves the dissolution of projection’s traditional space. He takes over the centre and makes it mobile. This nomadism is the key to dissolve the authority that any projection imposes on space, the attention of the spectator is necessarily focused on that which is projected.

For the accidental “audience” that takes part in the area that this “superhero” proposes there is no front, nor behind. There is no hierarchy of attention; the projector and that which is projected are equally unusual. There isn’t any privileged spot to attend the event, no established beginning or end. But there is the awareness of a projection that includes the man that generates it. For Fernando this involves the responsibility of the message on an earthly level. It’s not vain to notice that you don’t attend what Videoman’s produces; it’s part of him. He invents along with everyone present.

The bicycle is a natural extension of this nomadism. A prosthesis that symbolises the awareness he has of transport and its environmental cost. To pedal and generate the necessary energy to project is an attitude that suggests certain responsibility, necessary nowadays even in electronic arts.

In this video-intervention project there is also a reformulation of the concept of audience. Videoman is mobile but also the ones who witness the projections; location is temporary. So the one who takes part is responsible; first, to identify himself as audience and, later, to define the experience he has had.

This is a revitalization of public space; an intervention that makes it ductile; an experience to criticize and a collective reconstruction.

* Due to the nature of the project, of surprise interventions in the city at night, it’s important to have a place to continuously show a construction process and report of the project. This is the function of this space.

Video-intervention 18

Name: Artistic solidaritySituation: Supporting colleagues: Santiago Cirugeda’s video was downloaded from Internet and we projected on his piece, then we tried to project Jota Castro’s “Incas’ moneybox” on the facade of the Spanish Bank. This piece wants to reimburse the gold that was stolen to the Incas and has been retired because it was vandalized. Unfortunately, and for technical reasons that I ignore we couldn’t project it, and we couldn’t demand the money. It seems like they don’t want to give it back.
