ART AND TECHNOSCIENCE Conference
The front-lines between art and knowledge-production seem to be in transformation. The conference seeks to contextualize the practices of art&science both in the contemporary political atmosphere and the history of contemporary art.

The 7th International Biennial of Photography and Visual Arts in Liege is one of the most exciting art events i've seen in a while. This year's theme is (Out of) Control. It oscillates between the cheerful and the somber, between the mundane and the extraordinary. I'll get back to you with a proper report but i couldn't help singling out a quirky series of photos i discovered at the biennial continue

- Book Review - Data Flow 2: Visualizing Information in Graphic Design
-
Data Flow 2 expands the definition of contemporary information graphics. The book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts. It investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes, data, and information. Concrete examples of research and art projects as well as commercial work illuminate how techniques such as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization function continue

The Headless Conference is a mini-symposium for this exhibition.

- Today Reminder: The Headless Conference on March 19, 2010
-
The Office for Parafictional Research has been established to study the implications of a body of work by artist duo Goldin+Senneby known as Headless. For the past three years, the Stockholm-based collaborators have been investigating an offshore company called Headless Ltd as part of a larger inquiry into strategies of absence, invisibility, and withdrawal. Their project, also called Headless, has emerged in a number of formats thus far, including lectures and readings, a series of newspaper ... (more)
- Yesterday FAVICONTEST: Winner(s)
- So... Team Rhizome™ got together yesterday to determine the winner of our FAVICONTEST and I must admit that it was intense... a little too intense. After many long hours of screaming, clawing, and hair-pulling we were no closer to reaching an agreement on which of the user-submitted favicons to ordain as victor as we were when we started. Out of this ideal-driven hate-fest, the decision was made to share the spoils and select several favicons to use for Rhizome.org. So... in the coming week... (more)
- Yesterday Required Listening: Women's Audio Archive
-
The Women's Audio Archive began as a series of recordings, taped by Lewandowska after leaving her home country in 1984, grown out of an interest in language as a site of cultural displacement. These recordings document public events, seminars, talks, conferences, and private conversations as valuable records of a particular time in discourse, beginning around 1983 until 1990. Lewandowska denotes this period of time as one dominated by academics and artists close to October magazine and b... (more)

Above: Laid Off from the series "Testament"
Testament is a series of collective self-portraits made up of fragments from online video diaries, or "vlogs". The project consisted of a series of chapters, each of which focuses on a collectively told vignette, story, proclamation, or meditation on topics such as identity, the economy, illness, politics, the war, or work. Testament explores the formal and conceptual consequences of online video viewing and sharing, while analyzing contemporary e... (more)

Pae White, Smoke Knows, 2009. (Photograph by Fredrik Nilsen)
2010, Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari's Whitney Biennial, is essentially a Whitney Biennial calibrated for the times: small at 55 artists and altogether humble. This humility, and the fact that one needn't contend with an overwrought curatorial concept, allows viewers a more cogent experience than past, sprawling, thesis-driven Biennials could offer. Several works, rooms and motifs make good impressions. Not many are impr... (more)
