[Nettime-bold] Palm Rants (re)distribution

["G.H. Hovagimyan" <gh@popstar.com>]

Palm Rants -  an extended performance for web & 
Palm OS
by G.H. Hovagimyan



Palm Rants is a series of performance/ rants I will 
create over the
course of the (re)distribution exhibition curated by 
Patrick Lichty. 
The information will be delivered in 3 forms;

1.  a short movie or audio file that may be 
downloaded onto a PDA and
viewed with TealMovie software.

2. a  clickable image animation downloadable via 
an AvantGo custom
channel

3.  a text of the rant  downlodable via an AvantGo 
custom channel.


The intention of this piece is to extend the idea of 
performance art
into the hand held format.
Accessors will receive a new performance every 
week for 16 weeks.  The
content of these performances will be  
meditations on information
dispersal  and the post media environment.  I will 
approach this as both
an exercise and a challenge.  The piece will be an 
extended performance
over a sixteen week period.  The challenge is to 
stay fresh, to become
both an information nomad and an information 
filter.  The subject of the
performances will be the work of art in a 
networked environment. The
subject of this piece will be the artist in a 
networked world.  Here’s a
list of possible and realized rants.

EntertainMe - Entertain Me  (first presented at the 
Warhol Hijack)
Who Pays ?  Who’s Paying for This?
Big Cars Are Not Cool Anymore.
Who Turned Off The Lights and Air Conditioning!  
(California energy
lament)
My Food is Poisened.
Foreplay.
Love Songs From My Computer. (synth voices put 
you in the mood)
Dot Com Today, Dot Gone Tommorow.
You Have Been Replaced by a Machine.
The First Ones On Me. The Second Ones On You.
Ever Feel That You Are Fooling Yourself.
What Will It Take?
The First Blackout.
Big Medicine Killed My Father.
Video Art Is Not The Next Big  Thing. DUH
Buy and Sell and Buy and Sell and ....
And You Thought You Were Famous.
Several Ways to Brush Off Telemarketers.
The End Of America.

We live in an information environment in America.  
The question is
twofold; how truthful is the information we are 
given and whose point of
view does it represent? Do you really want to be 
told how to think?
This is big brother corporate style wrapped in an 
entertainment package.
The next level is the rebellion against all forms of 
information.  It
goes beyond deconstruction. It sweetens the idea 
of total disbelief.
Believe what you see. Believe in yourself or better 
yet make it all up.
