Über Enkidu rankX

Franco-German media artist Enkidu rankX [ınˈkiːdu ræŋk eks] was born 1972 in Saarbrücken / Germany. After his studies in Belgium he settled down in Berlin in 1996 where he is working and living up to this day. His work is comprised of video-art, glitch-art, installations and interaction with dance and theatre. “My art deals with issues such as relational miscommunication, the effect of technology on the human condition and the loss of identity that comes with the advent of virtualization an simulation.”

mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
ché la diritta via era smarrita.“

The original picture was photographed at a shopping mall (Rathaus-Center Pankow) in Berlin. This empty playground area says it all for me: here you can store your kids whilst going shopping, the cold solitude of modern day consumerism, the emptiness of our post-modern world starts to take its toll. Soon it will fill ours heats and minds, leaving a gaping void that cannot be filled with goods any more… So let us shop while we still can.

(found by Sulamith Sallmann)

Proposal for a terminology; hierarchy of glitch:

  • 1st grade: found glitch, no derivation, no editing
  • 2nd grade: found glitch, adapted, edited or changed
  • 3rd grade: induced glitch, no derivation, no editing
  • 4th grade: induced glitch, adapted, edited or changed
  • 5th grade (maybe over the top): 4th grade reglitched

Am I onto something or has this already been done?

Pressetext:

Seit frühchristlicher Zeit begleiten in der abendländischen Welt Szenarien vom Ende der Welt und dem sich anschließenden neuen Reich die Vorstellungen vom menschlichen Dasein. Wesentliche Inspirationsquelle war hierfür die Offenbarung des Johannes.

Weltuntergangsphantasien und ihre bildlichen Darstellungen waren in allen geschichtlichen und kunstgeschichtlichen Perioden aber auch Metaphern, die aus aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Zuständen heraus genährt wurden. Darin wurden Ängste artikuliert und in Bilder gebannt, es wurden aber auch Zukunftsvisionen entwickelt. (…weiterlesen)
