Why nothing? Because maybe nothing matters. Because December 29th is that weird time where nothing happens between Christmas and New Years. Because the earliest live streams often featured what would feel like nothing to us today: coffee pots, fish tanks, a suburban front lawn. NO-THING will feature performances by is this thing on? founders Christopher Clary @fknjpgs Sarah Rothberg @rothbergrothberg Bhavik Singh @soft_networks Molly Soda @bloatedandalone4evr1993 , friends of THING, and the general public through an open call — alongside recreations of the historic The Internet Bedroom, The Trojan Room Coffee Pot (the first webcam from 1991), and Watching Grass Grow (streaming since 2005). Ultimately, doing nothing is doing something (together).  Performances will be livestreamed to thing.tube on December 29th from 12:00am to 11:59pm EST. During that time, and through January 2nd, the streams will play on monitors in the windows of the NYC gallery Nguyen Wahed.  NO-THING is made possible with support from the Museum of the Moving Image @movingimagenyc and Nguyen Wahed @nguyenwahedart

@movingimagenyc will be featuring @lovidlovid ‘s TIDE PREDICTOR on our Schlosser Media Wall from March 1st through June 9th,2024! First built in the 19th century, tide-predicting machines were mechanical, analog computers that measured ocean oscillations. Higher frequency fluctuations, or “waves,” referred to both water and electrical signals. LoVid’s Tide Predictor extends this analogy between the flow of water and flow of electricity, while positing the translation of analog video synthesizers to digital programming languages. Tide Predictor is LoVid’s first code-driven generative artwork. Although the work is a departure from a majority of their catalog, which centers experimentation with actual analog video, a fascination with mixing electronic signals and rhythms of the natural world remains, using a series of unique JavaScript outputs to simulate randomness. Celebrating MoMI’s recent acquisition of Tide Predictor # 173 into the permanent collection, it is presented here alongside three additional outputs. Digital computers are incapable of true randomness; in Tide Predictor, randomness is simulated—a hallmark of code-based generative art—to generate 400 outputs. Displayed together, they illustrate how the same source code can give rise to heterogeneous results, emphasizing the appearance of unpredictability. Learn more: /event/tide-predictor/

I’m shameless.

I'm happy to announce @evadavidovany 's GLOBAL MODE > will be the first lobby wall takeover I've organized at Museum of the Moving Image in partnership with @OnassisUSA ONX Studio. This iteration will be on view October 20th, 2023-February 11th, 2024. GLOBAL MODE > turns the usually passive Herbert S. Schlosser Media Wall into an interactive experience. Visitors are connected to animal avatars through the movement of their own bodies, which may evoke contemplation on the relationship between self and community. Although there is no intended goal, Davidova’s participatory installation incorporates both ancient myth and contemporary reality to highlight interdependent responsibility in the wake of ecological disaster, both biological and environmental. The work features @afroasethically , @mx_oops , @believeinchocolate , and Davidova herself. Original sound: @gan.tttt . Interactions design & XR development: @danymcphatter . Second camera: Daniela Kostova. Motion capture: NYU Tandon School of Engineering Marcel Oliver-Rose Truxillo. Photo scanning: NYCAP3D. Originally commissioned by: @harvestworks and @issueprojectroom More information about our opening event on October 19th will be going out next week. Save the date ♥️.

MY VEINS ARE THE WIRES, MY BODY IS YOUR KEYBOARD is the first major survey of the pioneering net-artist and sculptor @auriea.harvey.studio . The exhibition will feature more than 40 of Harvey’s works, including her groundbreaking net-based interactives, video games, and augmented-reality sculptures from a career spanning nearly four decades. Auriea Harvey has persistently reimagined and redefined the creative boundaries of networked technologies for more than three decades. She possesses a remarkable sensitivity to how the digital revolution of the 1990s spawned a societal shift in the way humans connect. Her trajectory—from creating artwork to be viewed solely in a web browser to challenging lines between virtual and tangible experiences through 3D printing and augmented reality—consistently reflects the paradoxical power of computers to enable intimacy while interfering with corporeal contact and occupation of shared space. Organized by Associate Curator of Media Arts Regina Harsanyi. February 2nd — Jun 30, 2024 Featured: Selected stills from MISSING, an excerpt from ENTROPY8ZUPER!'s SKINONSKINONSKIN (1999) @movingimagenyc

After 35 years, animated GIFs remain a thriving medium in internet culture. From their use in bulletin board systems and Netscape 2.0 to online communities like Surf Clubs, Tumblr, and the rise of GIPHY, a new generation of artists are now gaining acclaim for their work within the constraints of a 256-color palette. Newer cohorts are publishing work to networked platforms without the same social fabrics that paved the way for them. And, despite the fictions associated with blockchain technology, its alluring promises have undeniably motivated artists in all stages of their careers to release the largest quantity of born-digital artwork of any period. As a result of the surge in production and visibility, a wider audience has come to recognize the GIF as a powerful modality not just for visual culture but also for art. Works by @jjjjjohn , @kate_the_cursed_art , and @p1xelfool have rapidly proven influential on GIF culture in the contemporary era alongside already recognized artists such as @pastichelumumba , @francoisegamma , and @petra_cortright Refreshing the Loop continues @movingimagenyc ’s tradition of displaying GIFs in our passenger elevator. This new iteration places artists who have been widely known for their GIFs for more than two decades in conversation with selected artists who have gained notable popularity in the last few years, as media art has continued to gain momentum towards mass adoption. These three pairings place the artists’ practice and catalogue of works in dialogue, comparing and contrasting their experiences with the file format and the evolving communities that have developed around it. The artists are also involved in the curatorial process, choosing a selection of works from one another that resonates with them personally. Each artwork, along with recorded discussions between the paired artists, will be on view in the passenger elevator, online, and at GIPHY.com for three months at a time.
