CYPRUS
dis-LOCATE
Open dismantling of the exhibition
NeMe Arts Centre, Cyprus
Curated by Natalie Kynigopoulou
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
dis-MOUNT is a specially organised happening conceived by Natalie Kynigopoulou which questions and extends the way exhibitions are perceived by the public, not only as a carefully installed dialogue between artworks but also as a process which eventually results in the exhibition’s own private demise – consisting of the dismantling, packaging and return of the artworks to their respective owners, thus re-subjecting the space into an introverted silence. The vital and creative process of mounting a show is normally occurring behind closed doors and is now recognised as an inherent part of the exhibition whereas unmounting a show is certainly always ignored. In order to expand the scope of what should be observable, NeMe is opening its doors to the complete actuality of the dis-LOCATE exhibition which raised questions about the process of art-making and extends those to the exhibition’s organisation as an open art-process in an attempt to redefine the approach to how art is observed.
CZECH REPUBLIC
Braincandy
Kurzor_gallery, Prague
Československého Exilu 1888/4
Braincandy started in May as an open art project that anyone could be a part of. We turned around the usual concept of a gallery; we held four open calls with very specific new media topics without knowing whether anyone would reply to them.
Tereza Darmovzalová: SPACE II
Location: Jeseníky, 50°08’40.4″N 17°12’33.7″E
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM

In her creative practice, Tereza Darmovzalová (b. 1990) works in the media of painting and video and particularly in photography. In her installation SPACE II prepared specifically for 6pmeu, Darmovzalová approaches her minimalist series of spatial composition studies in environmental manner. Three digital-prints-as-physical-objects become almost an architectural intervention into the outdoor space located in the forest.

ESTONIA
Kilometre of Sculpture (KoS) 2015
The Visitors
Curator: Andreas Nilsson (SE)
Võru
July 4-26, 2015
The exhibition The Visitors has been put together by guest curator Andreas Nilsson from the Moderna Museet, Malmö, Sweden, with assistance from exhibitions manager, Siim Preiman. The jury for the open call section consisted of an international selection panel including Maria Kjaer Themsen, Kirke Kangro, Maarin Ektermann and Siim Preiman.
This year Andreas Nilsson saw Kilometre of Sculpture and the town of Võru as an opportunity to explore the notion of an exhibition in the context of the social fabric of a community, and the materiality or lack of it in contemporary conceptions of sculpture. The 18 artists invited to exhibit in The Visitors all tend to explore in different ways the social and political structures we inhabit in our daily existence.
Artists: Liisa Ahlfors* (FI), Carola Björk* (SE), Karolina Erlingsson (SE), Angelica Falkeling* (SE), Luca Frei (CF/SE), Ingrid Furre (SE/NO), GIDEONSSON/LONDRÉ (SE), Kaspars Groševs (LV), Johnson and Johnson* (EE), Sergey Karev* (RU), Edith Karlson (EE), Laura Kaminskaitė (LT), Essi Kausalainen (FI), Henning Lundkvist (SE), Marge Monko* (EE), Kristine Niedraja* (LV), Ats Parve* (EE), Liina Siib* (EE) * artists from the open call

Online Only
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
SAME PLACE SAME TIME explores the real / virtual dichotomy using social media as an integral, distinctive part of the work, but without its inherent role of documentation. Digital space becomes exhibition space, so the picture is not complete without a device.

Browsing Browsing + Finissage “Matière | Plan | Espace”, François Zajéga solo show
Curated by Anne Roquigny and Valentina Peri
Galerie Charlot, Paris
47 Rue Charlot
July 22, 2015, at 5:00pm – 11:00pm
On the occasion of François Zajéga’s exhibition finissage at Galerie Charlot, the gallery invites Anne Roquigny with her installation «Browsing Browsing», a real time surf of several hundred online artworks. This one-night-exhibition of selected online digital projects is curated by Anne Roquigny and Valentina Peri at Galerie Charlot. The selection of URLs will be enriched during the evening through the «6pmyourlocaltime» participants’ Tweets from all over Europe.
Anne Roquigny’s «Browsing Browsing» is an exhibition of online digital artworks. It is an installation inviting the audience to discover a few hundreds of online projects, «exhibited» on a mini network of computers, all connected to the Internet. A surfing «bot» is installed on the computers and allows an automatic surf on 2 screens simultaneously. The navigation is done in real time through a selection of online art pieces (mèmes, glitches, animated gifs…) created by international artists who divert and deconstruct social networks and Web 2.0 landscapes. Confirmed artists: Kim Asendorf I Anthony Antonelis I Emilie Brout & Maxime Marion I Gregory Chatonsky I Caroline Delieutraz I Reynald Drouhin I Constant Dullaart I Ole Fach I Dylan Fisher I Desvirtual I Emilie Gervais I Benjamin Gaulon I Emilio Gomariz I Ben Grosser I Jodi I Jérôme Joy I Eduardo Kac I Kamilia Kard I Julien Levesque I Maadona I Claudia Mate I Marika Dermineur & Stephan Degoutin I Mouchette I Eric Pajot I Jacques Perconte I Jim Punk I Jon Rafman I Casey Reas I Evan Roth I Rafaël Rozendaal I Sakrowsky I Yoshi Sodeoka I Systaime I Nicolas Sassoon I Miyo Van Stenis
Vincent Broquaire / Digital Animation
Xpo Gallery, Paris
17 rue Notre Dame de Nazareth
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
These videos would seem to suggest that if Broquaire is questioning our perception of reality, it would be the virtual and the material worlds. Initially, we might think he was rejecting the virtual world as unreal, for that seems the stance of critical culture with its concerns over blogs replacing newspaper editorials, consumers unquestioningly trusting online stores, viewers digesting videos ambivalent of fact or fiction. But if we come back to Broquaire’s images, with their depiction of the digital and the physical in the same hand-drawn manner, as drawings, animations in frames, and installations, i.e. objects, then we cannot believe this to be his argument. Indeed, he seems to be saying: there is no unreal and real, it’s all man-made.
Violette Bule and Miyö Van Stenis – If Twitter weren’t a network
Paris / IP: 82.226.255.28
Private / online only event
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
As the 6PM Local Time EU is centered on the #hashtag social logic, we propose as a online performance use 100 twitter’s bots (fake accounts) to share and retweet automatically, for an hour or till we reach 1000 retweets per message, a series of images created by the photographer Violette Bule and texts about feminism. We want to explore the possibilities of Twitter as Social Network pushing the limits of the interface and the basic functionality to generated an artwork based on data and the social impact that feminism as object/subject, have today on art but also playing with of “Trending”. We’ll register this performance with desktop video and also publish the reaching of the twitter data in real time.
FRANCE – OTHER LOCATIONS
Annie Abrahams & Martina Ruhsam – Besides, the city is not a tree
Location: bram.org/besides, OUDEIS, Le Vigan
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
On Object Agency. As an assemblage of text-fragments and daily objects this live-performance is a series of linkages and open relations between words and banal things. What do words, a pencil and a stone have in common? Does the stone change when being confronted by a hammer? What changes if it is replaced by a pill? Does the image of a spoon change the thought or does the thought change the thing? A follow-up of Annie’s and Martina’s 2015 Turbulence commission besides, the person I am becoming.

GERMANY
According to Marty McFly, 2015 is the Future
Group show with Ana Alenso, Ilaria Biotti, Marisa Benjamim, IOCOSE, Rubén D’éhrs, Valentina Jager
Jul 22 at 6:00pm to Jul 23 at 11:00am
João Cocteau, Berlin
Kienitzerstrasse 98
Back to the Future is not one of those science fiction movies that envisions spaceships faster than the speed of light or alien races as our neighbours. Instead, the movie starts off in the garage of Doc, an extroverted inventor. His tinkerings are purely DIY in spirit, with only Marty’s cheerfulness to encourage him in his endeavours. It is in that same garage that Doc puts together a time-strolling machine. In the movie, the “future” portrays a likely-to-happen-projection, through an enhancement of what is then the present – 1985.
Back to the Future is a whimsical reflection on an everyday future. It shows modern day viewers not only an image of the expectations for the future from the perspective of 1985; it also provides an interesting point of departure to confront, and take off from, when thinking about the future today.
Over the last 30 years, most viewers of Marty Mcfly’s three one-and-a-half hour long jumps through time have reached 2015 by living through every second since 1985. In 2015, most skateboards and cars do not defy gravity; “Jaws” has 3 sequels instead of the 18 boasted about in Back to the Future; clothes on the whole do not adjust automatically to the human figure or dry instantly; the weather is still uncertain; and sadly, we have still not managed to create our own time-travelling car.
However, humans can mentally travel through time. Mental time travel or Chronesthesia – the ability to be aware of our past and future first hypothesized by Endel Tulving in the 1980s – is apparently a universal human instinct. By questioning the present, we are constantly envisioning future everyday narratives and recalling the past.
The invited artists suggest precisely that: they engage with (im)possible narratives and projections entangled in an undefined moment in time and space located between the familiar and the alien. Could we drift away gently with them from the here and now, and sprint towards a different moment in time?
Peter Beyls – Artist Talk
DAM Gallery, Berlin
Neue Jakobstr. 6
July 22, 2015, at 7.00 PM
DAM Gallery invites you to an artist talk with Peter Beyls at the Gallery or online under the Hashtag #6mpeu. The current exhibition at DAM Gallery -AESTHETICA. 50 Years of Computer Generated Art – is presenting plotterdrawings from the last 50 years. One of the artists on display is Peter Beyls. Beyls is a Belgian artist and composer working with computer media since the Seventies. He explores computer programming as a medium for artistic expression and develops generative systems in music, the visual arts and hybrid formats.
AESTHETICA refers to the philosopher Max Bense´s publication of the same name from 1965. Simultaneously, he initiated the first exhibition of Georg Nees´s algorithmically generated plotter drawings at TH Stuttgart´s campus gallery. That same year, other exhibitions of Frieder Nake in Stuttgart and Michael A. Noll in New York followed. Fifty years later, the computer as a tool has decisively inspired and expanded 21st century art. Net art, software art and interactive installations are just a few examples of the varying creative directions.

GREECE
Petros Efstathiadis – PRISON
Can Gallery, Athens
42 ANAGNOSTOPOULOU STR
18.06 – 31.07, 2015
Efstathiadis is a truly unique photographer whose artistic oeuvre begins when he decides to return to his hometown, a small village in Central Macedonia called Liparo and convert it into his physical studio. Full of clichés and yet set up in a way that overturns all known cultural and social stereotypes, Efstathiadis’ pictures are simple in regards to the setup of the camera and point of shooting, yet complex in their structure and composition. Collecting materials from neighbors, objects in use and some other abandoned or forgotten, the artist composes surreal and often extremely banal sets and prototype constructions that rather imply than illustrate their titles.

The night will be centered on this release, celebrating a long history of collaboration between these talented musicians within a variety of genres.
ITALY – MILAN
Alice Bachmann – Non classic serial
Casa Occupata Gorizia
via vigevano 2A, Milan
Wednesday, July 22 at 6:00pm
For the event 6PM YOUR LOCAL TIME Europe, Alice Bachman presents an interactive video installation in the Milan venue La casa occupata Gorizia. Live sound by Karl-L. The video-installation includes webcams connected to projectors that project images of the visitors onto special surfaces in real time. The surfaces are reflective or porous, with the latter letting some light filter through, multiplying the video into a deconstructed spatial dimension. It is a fragmented
experience of vision, where the architectural structure no longer provides a point of reference and the bodies of the audience members, in a kind of unsettling game, give rise to a bizarre setting that is in perpetual motion. The first visitors enter a space where the only image projected is that of empty
space. The webcam records the human presence starting to occupy and fill the setting, thus creating an endless cycle of images. In this closed system, the interlocking ‘projections in the projections’, the “mise en abîme”, is an illusionistic attempt to create other hypothetical spaces within the tangible walls of the exhibition venue. It is the opposite of the way in which classical sculpture loses its divine aura when produced serially: when man contemplates his digital ubiquity in this way he gains access to a supernatural state.
Les Sublimes Archive: A Walking Conference
Arthur Cravan Foundation, Milan
Intersection of Via Aleardo Aleardi & Via Paolo Sarpi, Milan
July 22, 2015, 6.00 PM
On Wednesday, July 22, at 6:00pm, in conjunction with 6pm Your Local Time Europe, the Arthur Cravan Foundation is pleased to present a conference in honor of Les Sublimes Archive, organized by Helga Franza and Silvia Hell.
As he strolls along, noted geopolitician Giampalo Capisani will speak of the late nineteenth century working-class group known as “The Sublimes” and of their grudge against Mondays. The artist Ermanno Cristini will then steal a little of our time with a conversation on the topic of “lost time.”
Readings will follow, with language like a “balm that hydrates the spirit”. We’ll celebrate the website launch of lessublimes.org: an archive that promises to make available, for all digital eternity, the journals, notebooks, and sketchbooks provided by artists, musicians, writers, doers, and do-nothings.
The conference will meet at the corner of Via Aleardi and Via Paolo Sarpi, then mosey its way through the neighborhood, alive with readings, activities, and musical interludes. Photos of the event will be collected under the hashtag #6PMEU, and posted online at www.6pmyourlocaltime.com in real time with other opening events throughout Europe.

FOIL – Lucia Cristiani, Guido Sbattella, Marco Secondin, Nicolò Tedeschi
Via Sarzana 40, Milan
Wednesday, July 22 at 6:00pm – 11:00pm
Starting from the idea raised by #6PM of a large scale cataloging, accumulation and storage of information, we decided to work on a type of image collection that is characteristic of our generation: the sticker album. The FOIL project came about and developed in this context. The term foil not only refers to rare/metallic finish stickers but also an alter-ego, a figure in contrast to the main character in fictional narratives.
Sticker albums are a sort of fun, private micro archive of images that both evoke and contrast the infinite collections of shared, delocalised images on social media. The sticker image is a partial view, a snippet of a multitude of potential images, a possible glimpse, a vision of identifiable and collectible details in a closed spatial dimension.
Each artist has to tackle the idea of creating images in sticker format to make his or her project. The artists must therefore follow these shared guidelines and develop their own individual work within those parameters.
Melons, screwdrivers and other short tales. A one night art exhibition at WeMake, Milan’s Makerspace/Fablab
Marco Cadioli, Alessandro Capozzo, Matteo Cremonesi, Kamilia Kard, Marco Mendeni, Flavio Scutti
WeMake, via stefanardo da vimercate 27/5 –milano
July 22, 2015, at 6.00 PM
The project MELONS SCREWDRIVERS AND OTHER SHORT TALES came about in the context of the 6PM global network and was produced in the WeMake labs, the makerspace in Milan. It is an exhibition project that aims to explore venues that are far removed from classic galleries and institutions and offer a point of contact between art and mass production. The end result is an entirely atypical exhibition in which the viewer’s attention shifts constantly between the allure of the art works and the appeal of the machines and tools in the FabLab.
Mauro Ceolin – Stratigraphy
Milan, 45°28’25.0″N 9°12’01.4″E
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
Notes are an intermediate stage in research work. Art is a seminal process that stimulates the development of theories, in the context of an artistic practice that takes an interdisciplinary stance with respect to science. Since 2010 I have been applying this methodology to my daily intuitions / inferences, studying the phenomena of the collective imagination expressed in digital environments by members of post-literate societies. My obervations gave rise to the notions at the heart of the project ContemporaryNaturalism. The continuous stratification of notes will be the subject matter of my piece. www.rgbproject.com
#desARTification – When Desert is Turned into Art
Bipersonale di Nik Barte e Antonio Comini
Sabrina Raffaghello, Milano
Via Gorani, 7
Opening: July 22, 2015 from 6.00 PM
From July 22 to 27; from September 14 to 27, 2015
Antonio Comini is inspired by the shapes of the various elements and materials found in nature. “Inspired by Mother Nature” is the famous slogan used by the artist. “My aesthetic sense and my hands are often driven by the form of the sand, dunes, rocks and soil, seen in the desert. Every work of art is unique like unique is the shape of the dunes and unique is every single stone. I want to use lights and shadows, materials, volumes, patterns, as a media to talk about the important topic of desertification. I desire to touch the heart of the people using my work, talking about the desertification of the fertile soil through the vision of my artifacts.”
Jacques Bonhomme – Revueltas campesina en contra de las exigencias de los señores feudales
“In My Computer”, Milano
Private event
July 22, 2015 from 6.00 PM
The event takes place entirely on a computer, in a modern operating system. The initiative consists of several juxtaposed windows containing web pages, images, text and video, found through online searches. During the event various screenshots related to this content will be created and uploaded to Twitter. The connections between the content are open-ended, according to personal taste and the materials that result from Google search queries, in turn based on a free association of ideas. The search began with the word “jacquerie”, the name given to peasant uprisings in Medieval France during the economic and political crisis sparked by the Hundred Years War. All images uploaded to the Twitter account @_bonhomme_ are linked in some way, and each is a response to the one that precedes it, yet the connections are open-ended because images can express a multitude of concepts and meanings.

Where is Dawn now? #2
Pastificio Cerere Foundation, Rome
Via degli Ausoni 7
Wednesday, July 22at 6:00pm
The Fondazione Pastificio Cerere presents the second event in the project Where is Dawn now?, conceived by Leonardo Petrucci and developed in collaboration with INAF-IAPS, ASI and NASA. The Dawn space probe, launched by NASA in 2007, entered the orbit of Ceres last March and on that occasion, in the courtyard of Pastificio Cerere, we presented the first photograph of the large spherical form of the dwarf planet. For the second event we will install a closer, more detailed photograph that reveals more about the surface of Ceres, accompanied by a text by the astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi, who discovered Ceres completely by chance in January 1801. The idea of combining Pastificio Cerere and the planet Ceres (Cerere is the Italian translation of Ceres) has to do with more than just the name, evoking a singular coincidence: in conjunction with this astronomical event, 2015 was the 110th anniversary of the construction of Pastificio Ceres and 10 years since the Fondazione Pastificio Cerere was established.
SIRENS SONGS AND BEYOND
Curated by: Abbiatici Levy, with: Stefano Canto, Abinadi Meza, Matteo Nasini
Label201 per #6PMYOURLOCALTIME EUROPE
SandBar c/o Mastino, Via Silvi Marina 18, Fregene (RM)
The works of Canto, Meza and Nasini tackle the interpretation and perception of reality through sound. Playing with the acoustic ambiguity generated between reality and sound recordings, the artists explore the idea of creating soundscapes and mental places corresponding to meta-subjective realities. Though sampled from reality, these soundscapes are not real yet, paradoxically, they create the illusion of multiple, temporally displaced realities. Each sound recorded resembles a siren song, existing in a parallel space-time dimension which is a virtual reality we can only enter by pressing play.
The event will also present CONTAIN[ERA], a cultural project involving contemporary art organizations based in different European countries, conceived by Art Direct, Prague and promoted in Italy by Label201.
CONTAIN[ERA] refers to the post-Internet age and the issue that it raises can be summed up in a few basic questions: it is possible to reverse the process of the dematerialization of information, thus positing a return to tangibility? And if so, how can we transfer this new, materialized information?
Those taking part in the event Sirens, Songs and Beyond will have a 10% discount for the post-event dinner at the restaurant Mastino di Fregene.
ITALY – BRESCIA
Materia Sonica
A+B Gallery, Brescia
Via Gabriele Rosa 20a
July 22 – 31, 2015. Opening: July 22 at 6.00 PM
a cura di Dario Bonetta, Rossella Moratto, Fabio Volpi
Materia sonica explores the audio-visual relationship or clash between material and sound from multiple points of view, starting from the idea of sound sculpture, as a percussive object, or the result of a “cymatic” process based on the morphogenetic effect of soundwaves, or an acoustic interpretation of the spatial dimension of different settings.

G.A.P. Glurns Art Point – Glorenza (Bolzano)
July 23 – August 3, 2015. Opening: July 22 at 6.00 PM
With Andreas Zingerle (KairUs) and Valentina Colella
Curated by Davide Bevilacqua
The relational dynamics of the internet revolve around anonymity and made-up identities, as well as the complete absence of filters or distance in digital encounters with strangers.
‘Your unread messages will shortly be deleted’ is a recurrent expression in our virtual culture, typical of online scams, where the victim is pressured in order to extort money or sensitive information.
Our urge to communicate is irrepressible, as is the anxiety we feel over losing a contact or missing a digital event. And for the artist the medium becomes an aesthetic space packed with life, emotions and thoughts, to explore through genuine performative acts.

F4 / un’idea di Fotografia – Progetto Nord-Est
Fondazione Francesco Fabbri
Villa Brandolini, Pieve di Soligo (Tv)
Private event, online only
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
The central theme of the fifth F4 Festival/ un’idea di Fotografia is the landscape of north east Italy, the focus of a series of studies carried out in recent years and new site-specific commissions that convey the complexity of these areas, also in the light of the processes of social change under way: the recession, the area’s changing identity and the iconography of hybrid landscapes.
The exhibition Progetto Nord-Est. A landscape of contradictions and conflicts, curated by Carlo Sala, presents the work of some of the best up and coming photographers in Italy. These artists go beyond the surface appearance of the land, creating works that explore the changes, conflicts and reflections in progress. There are many issues at stake: the transformation of the landscape, the redefinition of its identity and social tensions in general.
The new projects featured include Padania Classics by Filippo Minelli, which traces the elements and symbols that characterise the so-called “macro-region” of Northern Italy: its warehouses and papier mache monuments, its roundabouts and road junctions, emblems of a landscape devoted to profit and devoid of culture.

ANAGRAM PRELUDE – Marco Signorini at Metronom
Digital Project Launch
Metronom – Modena
Viale G. Amendola,142
July 22, 2015 from 6.00 PM
In Anagram the digital manipulation is an integral part of the production of the images. The selected apps, through algorithms, elaborate and modify the original pictures in random combinations. A continuous transformation is enacted, and it can be verified only once the choice is made, which is the true digital act. The random process of modification is not casual, but it is rather based on analysis, and it has strong connections with quantum physics an the principle of uncertainty. These images are progressively more and more far from the reassuring figurative representation of reality, in order to adapt to the world made of particles we belong to.
Fonte&Poe – Video Screening
Museo Civico Castelbuono
Castelbuono (PA), Piazza Castello
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
La giostra dell’avvicinamento (rituale per 8 persone e 8 rapaci imbalsamati), 2015 videoprojection by Fonte&Poe. The video was realized during the I-ART residency project in Castelbuono (PA) in spring 2015, as a collaboration between the Museo Civico and the Naturalistic Museum “Francesco Minà Palumbo” in Castelbuono. After studying the historic, artistic and cultural heritage of Castelbuono, Fonte & Poe produced a performance and the video documentation of this has become part of the permanent collection of the Museo Civico di Castelbuono. The video shows a secular ritual set up by the artists: displaced on a pedestal or circular altar, are eight stuffed specimens of birds of prey of the Madonie Mountains, from the collection of the Naturalistic Minà Palumbo Museum. Around the pedestal, forming the vertices of an imperceptible octagon, eight people from Castelbuono by turn each holds in their hands an egg made of ice for as long as possible, then passing it on to the person next to them. At the same time, these eight people attempt an impossible contact with the glazed eyes of the birds.

AWAKENING. Immagini per il risveglio sociale

Immagini per il risveglio sociale is an exhibition that documents the work of AWAKENING, an international photographers’ collective set up with the aim of raising awareness of various social issues by means of photo journalism in urban areas. Their work is inspired by that of the French photojournalists #Dysturb.

Google Art on Canvas is the exhibition wherewith the artist Luca Leggero presents his new works, the result of reflections on the newest ways to see artworks. For this series, the artist cut and zoomed parts of high-resolution images of some of the most famous paintings in art history, in order to show their more intimate and inaccessible grain, as defined by Roland Barthes. Starting with a study on the spectacularization of art, the artist has reflected on the mediation process the art works face when they are filmed and photographed with the newest technology.

Maja Smrekar – SURVIVAL KIT FOR THE ANTHROPOCENE – TRAILER
Aksioma Project Space, Ljubljana
Komenskega 18
8 – 31 July 2015
Continuing our opus of the exploration of the typology of invasive species, through intersections of geopolitical parameters on one side and local-sociological paradigms on the other, we picked some of the signifiers of the national cultural heritage and transformed them into the Survival Kit for the Anthropocene (after which the present geological epoch is named).
This kind of intervention into design encourages reflection on the dynamics of market globalization. The latter corporately cannibalizes local economic dynamics and (re)directs them to the common signifier (uniformity) – the franchise. With the subverted franchise Survival Kit for the Anthropocene – Trailer, which serves as discursive agent, we can, after all, ask ourselves about existential dynamics in the near future reality in which the survival of the species will depend much more on the knowledge of the local environment than on univocal adoption of global ecological ideas on the basis of the common ideological denominator.

Bernardo Villar – Inside the www.whit3cu.be
Online Gallery, Madrid
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
When Inside the White Cube first appeared in Artforum in 1976, its impact was immediate. Without a doubt, O’Doherty was the first to explicitly confront a particular crisis in postwar art as he sought to examine the assumptions on which the modern commercial and museum gallery was based.
Concerned with the complex and sophisticated relationship between economics, social context, and aesthetics as represented in the contested space of the art gallery, he raises the question of how artists must construe their work in relation to the gallery space and system.
But, what happens nowadays when this relationship takes place between the post-modern commercial and museum gallery and Digital Art?
Despite the fact that both Digital Art and Net.art have the ability to dissolve this dependence, does it seem that it still survives as a decisive factor in their future development, and social reception? Furthermore, what can Digital & Net.art do Inside the White Cube?

Poetics and Politics of Data
HeK, Basel
Freilager-Platz 9, 4142 Münchenstein
29.05 – 30.08, 2015
The exhibition “Poetics and Politics of Data” reflects life in a world increasingly controlled by data. Every day, each of us generates a nearly incomprehensible amount of data: Our every move on the Internet leaves behind a digital trace. Given the phenomena of “Big Data” and “Data Mining” – the evaluation of data – artistic positions are taken that aim to make continuous streams of data visible – whether using Internet-based installations or graphic data visualizations – and to pose critical questions about the ambivalence of life in a “datified” world.

amaCollective & David Price – A Journey based on Irony and Suspense
Lecture Theatre, London Metropolitan University
41-47 Commercial Rd, London
July 22, 2015, from 5 to 6.30 pm
A journey based on irony and suspense is the result of a collaborative endeavor that features work from artists Stephen Kavanagh, Agata Cieslak, David Price, Andy Roche, Sebastian Rozenberg and Dan Scott.
How faithfully can the structure of a film, or a soundtrack, represent a distinct narrative? Where does a story end and where does it begin? Through video and sound, this sequence of works challenges the perception of reality and fiction, encouraging the viewer to embrace an endless series of possibilities, interpretations and vivid investigations. Each of the works locate themselves firmly in a setting, geographical, technical or conceptual, and from this vantage point ask themselves how they have been made. “What is that we are part of? And what is that we are?”

Simone Monsi, Frederique Pisuisse, Andrea Williamson – #magichour
Area 51, London
Hackney Wick, E9 5EN
Jul 22 at 6:00pm to Jul 26 at 8:30pm in UTC+01
Magic hour is the best time of day for vivid colours and formal clarity in photography and happens just as the day’s light is fading out. As recently proposed by anthropologist Michael Taussig, he linked this magical but also somewhat melancholic time to our current position at the end of the Anthropocene. Toying with the idea of an exhibition as a digital-readymade existing through collective documentation, the apparatus of image circulation will be inhabited with ideas that might call attention to the precarity of our temporal situation on this earth.
Seduced by mood of romance, anticipation, beauty and fear from the final (#death) scene of Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet, where Romeo approaches the assumed corpse of his lover, it is reimagined in the form of an atmospheric set. The scene interprets the idea of magic hour, sincerity, vulnerability, awareness and beauty as tools of transgression rather than subsumption under the capitalist machine. #magichour is an exhibition by artists Simone Monsi, Frederique Pisuisse and Andrea Williamson in collaboration with Àngels Díaz Miralda Tena.

UNITED KINGDOM – OTHER LOCATIONS
Rory Laycock – GroupPlay Live
Langholm, Scotland
Private event
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
The Internet has become the new horizon – a platform for which we place ourselves within and determine our position in relation to its vast and ever-changing qualities. As we immerse ourselves, we find the self becoming more weightless to gravity – experiencing freeness and limitlessness that is unique to this platform. This event attempts to explore the internet’s platform and our cultural relationship to it. By remixing imagery – virtually and physically – this sense of leaping is questioned. The blue and green colours explore the sublime and how it can be modified through green-screen technology to create limitless space. 6PM Your Local Time Europe positions art practices within this new platform by using the internet’s accessibility to reach out to a global audience. This complements the ambitions of this event as it attempts to question the affect of sharing opinions on a global scale with familiar imagery and the act of play.
Margot Bowman – Trust – a w.e.t project
Secret Garden Party, Huntingdon, UK
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
Trust is an interactive, time based sculpture that explores the importance and fragility of trust in communities.
Trust is what underpins the notion of the community, from person to person, and person to nature; a shared sense of trust is how we exist together. Secret Garden Party serves as a microcosm of the kind of Utopian world we might build for ourselves, away from the constraints of paid labor but even in this world we walk a line between our own ‘shadow’ and ‘light’ tendencies with our experience mapped by the consequences their actions have both on each other and the natural world.
Created from an large industrial framework on to which bottles filled with local flowers will be placed. The flowers are removable, the bottles are not.
Over the course of the 3 days of the festival the flowers will be taken. Each time a flower is taken, a bottle is emptied and this centralised monument becomes ‘less beautiful’ with less flowers on it, but at the same time that flower is taken out into the festival – decentralising the beauty and creating an experience for the taker (and potential receiver).
With the dream of unlimited natural resources over and the community continuing to draw from this beautiful but un-replenished resource we will have to learn a new sense of responsibility with with what we do have. One could even argue that if these natural objects are to be exploited in this way (cut and left in the sun) surely they should at least be enjoyed by individuals?
Trust is an open experiment, how many flowers will be taken? How far does the community sway between the good of the group, the good of the self and the good of wider ecosystem? These are the questions the piece raises.
Dafna Ganani – Net & Other Performativities
Online only, from Washington DC
July 22, 2015, from 6.00 PM
My art practice is about the politics of ןdentity and its performance in cyberspace as IRL. It presents mediated (digital) performances using affect & code, & is disseminated by the World Wide Web, in social and artist networks. Through this artwork I tender reflexive conceptions of Self and Being, how presence & its representations in images of the body prevails dominant convention and its aberrant possibilities.
