Exhibition Announcement
"Slippage: fragilities and instabilities in the phenomena of meaning"
an exhibition of net.art, runs parallel to
ISEA2006/ZeroOne San José. http://01sj.org
Exhibition URL: http://slippage.net
Exhibition dates: July 15 - August 31, 2006

Slippage exists in the grey areas of language and
social interaction. It is the realm of the
in-between--the place of disjunction,
expectations, covert meanderings, and the
processes and residue of questioning minds. Sites
selected for "Slippage" explore and expose
relationships between intention, perception,
control, experience, behavior, memory, knowing
and the unexpected.
Artists include Mez Breeze; Krista Connerly;
Juliet Davis; Lisa Hutton; Paula Levine; Jess
Loseby, et al.; UBERMORGEN.COM; and Jody Zellen.
"Mez does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic
have done for ASCII Art: Turning a great, but
naively executed concept into something
brilliant, paving the ground for a whole
generation of digital artists." (Florian Cramer).
The impact of her unique code/net.wurks
[constructed via her pioneering net.language
mezangelle] has been compared to Shakespeare,
James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall. Mez

International Film Festival in Sydney, Australia,

Museum's online art community Rhizome, The Urban
Institute for Contemporary Art in Michigan, and
the Next Wave Festival in Melbourne.

with computers since 1987 and is sometimes seen
using rollerblades.
Paula Levine is a visual artist focusing on
experimental narrative and new forms of narrative
spaces. She comes from experimental documentary
photography and video. Her research/art practice
is in Locative Media -- Global Positioning System
(GPS), wireless and remote devices. Recent work
looks at hidden dynamics as a way to develop new
understandings about the nature of place. Paula
Levine is an Associate Professor of Art at San
Francisco State University. She teaches in
Conceptual/Information Arts (CIA), an area
focusing on digital art and experimental
technologies.
Jess Loseby is a digital artist from the UK. Her
main "canvas" is the Internet but she also
creates large interactive installations, video,
mobile phone media, prints and performance. Her
work is based around "the cyber-domestic
aesthetic": scrutinising the small, the domestic
and her ideas of "amplified reality". She was the
first artist to undertake a totally virtual
artist residency (with Furtherfield.org) and her
awards include Daniel Langlois, Dino Villani
International Prize (Premio Suzzara) and Arts
Council England. She exhibits in galleries and
festivals internationally and is an established
artist-curator. Jess has an eccentric husband, 3
inspirational children and a pink wheelchair. She
also lives in "the village" - just not that one.
UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in
Vienna, Austria, by Lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, a
founder of etoy. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can
find one of the most unmatchable identities
'controversial and iconoclast 'of the
contemporary European techno-fine-art
avant-garde. Their open circuit of conceptual
art, drawing, software art, pixel-painting,
computer installations, net.art, sculpture and
digital activism (media hacking) transforms their
brand into a hybrid Gesamtkunstwerk.
UBERMORGEN.COM?s work is unique not because of
what they do but because how, when, where and why
they do it. The computer and the network are
(ab)used to create art and combine its multiple
forms. The permanent amalgamation of fact and
fiction points toward an extremely expanded
concept of one?s working materials, that for
UBERMORGEN.COM also include (international)
rights, democracy and global communication
(input-feedback loops). 'Ubermorgen' is the
German word both for 'the day after tomorrow' or
'super-tomorrow'.
Jody Zellen is an artist living in Los Angeles,
California who works in many media simultaneously
making photographs, installations, net art,
public art, as well as artists' books that
explore the subject of the urban environment. She
employs media-generated representations of
contemporary and historic cities as raw material
for aesthetic and social investigations. Solo
exhibitions include Pace University's Digital
gallery (2005); The Laguna Art Museum (2004-05);
Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects (2002);
Deep River, Los Angeles (2001). Her net art
projects have shown world wide since 1997 in
festivals and exhibitions such as Arte Nuevo
Interactive, Mexico; ACCEA, Armenia; Prog:Me, Rio
de Janeiro (2005); File, Brazil; Festival du
Noveau Cinema, Montreal; Siggraph, Los Angeles;
International Festival of Electronic Art,
Argentina; Cosign, Croatia (2004); New Forms
Festival, Vancouver; Recontres Internationales,
Berlin (2003); Whitney Museum Artport (2002); XXV
Bienal de Sao Paulo (2002); Art Future, Taiwan
(2000); Net_Condition, ZKM (1999); Film + Arch.3,
Graz (1997).

personality, difference, beliefs, systems, ideas,
movement, reflection, identity, perceptions,
structure, stories, socializations, definitions,
context, memory, experience, change, and
residue. She is an Associate Professor of Art &
Art History at California State University, Chico
where she developed and coordinates the
Electronic Arts Program.
