Happy Xmas from Green Screen #gifmas
#favartOL - twitter emoji compositions... and it being lost in translation due to different presentation; iPhone, iMac, PC and varied operating systems dictate whether you see the icons or not, often meaning the "art" can't be seen by those on older systems.

SPEAKER #2 GREEN < SCREEN > Aram Bartholl @arambartholl
Meet Aram Bartholl
Aram is an artist thematising the relationship of net data space and every day life often including public intervention. He asks; “In which form does the network data world manifest itself in our everyday life? What comes back from cyberspace into physical space? How do digital innovations influence our everyday actions?”. Bartholl studied architecture at the University of the Arts UdK Berlin and has been commissioned by Rhizome and founded 'Dead Drops' "an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space" and 'Speed Show' a format to curate digital artworks in internet cafes.

"Crash Text" exq=.s.te =n.c&de/s (@crashtxt)
by Jim Punk - "prolific and anonymous" net artist (Rhizome) uses keyboard characters, symbols and pictorials to create 'visual tweets'. The work references minimal art and early net art aesthetics.
The paramaters of Twitter commonly utilised for individual speech are manipulated as @crashtxt characters extend from their 'designated area' interrupting and interfering with other tweets in the feed.

Arts New Media & The Digital Divide
This months Artforum brings to light the timely discussion of "a disavowal of the digital" by Claire Bishop, described as such in the Introduction by [Editor] Michelle Kuo which is aptly titled 'Arts New Media'.
As well as highlighting "our strange attachment to outmoded 16-mm projectors, slide shows, and musty archival vitrines" Bishop states "While many artists use digital technology, how many really confront the question of what it means to think, see, and filter affect through the digital? How many thematize this, or reflect deeply on how we experience, and are altered by, the digitization of our existence?".
While readers of this blog may think - "uhhh... there are hundreds of artists out there doing this!?" we must remind ourself Brice is speaking from the perspective of "the mainstream art world (commercial galleries, the Turner Prize, national pavilions at Venice)." knowing "There is, of course, an entire sphere of “new media” art, but this is a specialized field of its own".
Green Screen is interested in why "new media art" still is so rooted in this "specialized field of its own", after all we are - as Brice seems to be interested in the affects of "new media" and digital technology has on us, and of course on the arts.

From the same issue:

There is also great snippets on Paul Chan, Lynda Benglis, Oliver Laric and Ryan Trecartin the whole issue is much nicer to read AFK so we recommend you do divide from the digital (temporarily) and go and treat yourself to the IRL version ASAP.

The fears of Technology 1990 - 2012
Surprise surprise - we are still discussing it 22 years later...
Excerpt from CYBERPUNK documentary from1990 after Neuromancer by William Gibson 1983 and the documentary in 1990
Transcription:
I think there are deeper fears I think people think technology will make them less free make them less powerful, in a personal way.
And in fact there are lots of good examples of how this has happened - the defence industry being a major one.
But technology can also empower - you could take that argument all the way back to the first ape like humanoid who used a tool put the nail in our coffin right?
Because our tools OMG you know… Its not my arm its a hammer - does that mean I have lost power to the hammer? Or does it mean I can build a cathedral?
Is it half full or is it half empty?
The question isn't whether or not the medium is intrinsically evil or scary. The question is whether or not we have a culture and a society and a group of artists who can rise to the occasion and be using it in a way that enhances us...
Tweet @G_SCREEN ways you think "the medium" has been used to "enhances us"
Hennessy Youngman's opinion on Tumblrs as art
"@G_SCREEN those sites are a secret garden in which no one is invited to know, like the trampoline in Community." via @therealhennessy
Incase you didn't know what "the trampoline in Community" is (we didn't). . .
Hennessy Youngman has many opinions... they are pretty good and entertaining too...

Excerpts from When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide: ‘People Staring at Computers’ by Kyle McDonald @kcimc
With “People Staring at Computers,” I saw something new: a massive audience engaged in a collective decision-making about the culture they wanted to adopt, in realtime, via comment threads strewn across blog posts and news articles.
But because they had the project taken offline, and my computer confiscated, Apple managed to give it more attention than I could have ever attracted. The reporters using headlines with “artist” in scare quotes got the media artists mad. The censorship and search warrant got the freedom of speech people mad. The feeling of privacy invasion, or just the awareness of surveillance, took care of everyone else. Apple created an amazing discussion I never could have planned.
