Shortlist for Share Prize 2014

February 11, 2015 12:36 pm

Once again, more than 250 artists worldwide have sent in their proposals for SHARE FESTIVAL 2014/2015, with the theme of Autonomous.
The SHARE jury of Jasmina Tesanovic, Irini Papadimitriou, Bruce Sterling and  Luca Barbeni have selected six entries for “Autonomous,” which takes place the Temporary Museum from the 19th until the 29th march.

Simone Rebaudengo & Matthieu Cherubini (CH, IT), Ethical Things, 2015

LIA (AT), Filament Sculptures, 2014

Stefan Tiefengraber (AT), User Generated Server Destruction, 2013

Agustina Andreoletti and Alice Rzezonka (AR,DE), Reflective Conversion, 2014

Paidia Insitute (DE), Paidia Laboratory: feedback, 2011-2014 

Ralph Kistler (DE), Social Netwalks, 2012

Ethical Things is a household appliance — a fan — that has its own autonomous ethics and spiritual values, and has to decide whether or not it wants to function.
Filament Sculptures is an autonomous 3D printer.  Instead of making copies or prototypes, it concentrates on the sculptural aspects of computer-controlled plastic extrusions, and makes 3DPrint art for the sake of 3DPrint art.
User Generated Server Destruction is a commonplace Internet server.  However, whenever it gets any traffic from human users, it violently slams itself with a large hammer, eventually committing suicide.
Reflective Conversion is a colony of mechanical mirrors who communicate by flashing lights at one another.
The Paidia Laboratory: feedback is an autonomous set of hacked computer game consoles that require no human users because they are playing themselves.
Social Netwalks  is a video, in which everyday people strolling through a city are divided up as if they were a social network instead of a real town.

Call for Share Prize 2014 – Autonomous

November 13, 2014 12:07 pm

Now in its tenth year, Piemonte Share is proud to announce a new season of the Share Prize, the international competition designed to discover, promote and support art in the digital age.

From 8th November, 2014 until 6th January, 2015 entries can be submitted for the prize using the online registration form at the bottom.
This year’s theme for the prize sums up ten years of hard work and our hope for the future in one word: Autonomous.

Humans are surrounded by a distributed intelligence that tracks, profiles and assists us, seeking to pre-empt, analyze and bring about our dreams and desires and forming a complex, autonomous system. Software assistants, drones, cars that drive themselves and bots for high-frequency trading. As computing becomes more and more distributed, humans are no longer the only agents of analysis and action.
Subjects become profiles, filed and categorised in a vast system designed to extrapolate our actions and convert them into profit variables.
Where does the growth in potential stop and a technological circuit begin, in which our choices are increasingly driven by “emergent” considerations that act autonomously?
How are artists responding to a reality created by humans but only partially controlled by us? What principles lead people to rely on such systems? What fields do those who criticize them work in and how do they act effectively?

An international panel of judges, composed by Jasmina Tesanovic, Irini Papadimitriou, Bruce Sterling and Luca Barbeni, will short-list six nominees for the prize, who will be invited to exhibit at the customary Share Prize exhibition in Turin from 19th to 29th March, 2015.
The venue for the exhibition this year will be the new Temporary Museum, a project sponsored jointly by the Department for Cultural Affairs of the Regione Piemonte and BasicNet Group.
The names of the short-listed finalists will be announced by the end of January 2015.

Thanks to all

Dear Share Festival friends,
thank you for getting behind us once again this year.
The Share Festival continues to be a one and only event in Italy that is enjoying growing popularity with an ever wider public attracted by art in the digital age.

The 9th Share Festival — REAL TIME | REAL SPACE — played host this year to 15 artists, 6 panellists, 2 exhibitions, and 2 performances, for a total of 11 dates in 18 consecutive festival days.

This year we collaborated closely with the Cantieri OGR and the Regional Museum of Natural Science, as well as the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts, of course, building on and proving the value of networking with all the different people who joined forces to create a very special moment in Turin. Through their works, the artists explored a number of insights into real time and real space. At the conferences, panellists presented their points of view from different perspectives, converging on the fundamental need to empower people and culture to play a leading role in the innovative transformation of the society, communities and territories we live in. Key words such as real time, physical space, hybrid space, tactical media, sustainable production, ubiquity, data flows, and community set the stage for the issues discussed and debated at conferences by international panellists. The festival was an inspiration for all— for guests, artists, panellists and the public.
The leading role of the Piemonte Share Festival in terms of content and the cutting edge focus of its perspectives were also applauded by the local and national media, which dedicated significant space and flattering words in their coverage of the festival.
