IDS : WHAM-BAM-LECTURE-LECTURE

The Information Delivery Service proudly presents:


WHAM-BAM-LECTURE-LECTURE
Information Speculation

15th March 2012, 8-9.30pm
Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB


The Information Delivery Service proudly announces its first public lecture on the topic of Information Speculation.

Attempts are being made by each one of us to make some sense of the constant stream of social, audio, spatial, visual, local and global information in which we find ourselves precariously spinning. Each of us attempts to do so equipped with approximately 1.4kg of electrolysed grey matter. At this moment in time no method has yet been employed by the human race to absorb and funnel this data to a satisfactory level. 

The IDS is dedicated to developing it's own idiosyncratic concepts of communication and information, knowledge and expertise. They aim to then dissolve these structures and wallow somewhere in between imagination and anxiety and take pleasure in the inevitable impossibility of information delivery.

Please join us for a one-hour performative lecture on the subject of information itself.

Refreshments will be provided over conversation following the main event.

“I am interested in the gap between Minimalism and Pop Art: in the object character and autonomy of Minimalism and the subject matter of our culture that is to be encountered in Pop Art.”

“Technology does everything for us so that we no longer have to function in terms of experience. We function in terms of esthetics.”

“Art should be a trailer for the future”

Cory Arcangel... again.

".....................This interest in technology has evolved to include tools and systems such as Photoshop, Youtube and Garageband, all of which are used in ways that are not their primary or intended function but create often surprising results.

Arcangel has always taken an interest in making his work accessible to anyone, often posting videos, images and even directions for how to create work online. This simultaneously acts as a way of questioning authorship as well as enabling anyone to create their own version of a Cory Arcangel work."

Project Space Feb 3rd.

Intro/Looking At Things Only Bigger

Hard to get a sense of scale in the photographs but each image was projected using separate 35mm slide projector in the main lecture theatre. The biggest projection was the size of a medium sized cinema screen and the smallest approximately the size of a laptop screen. 

A pair of binoculars were available for optional viewing.

Visiting Artist Talks: Mark Titchner

On February 3rd 2012, Mark Titchner says:

Which bits of being in the studio are 'art'? Mixing paint or sending emails? Both.

Throwing something in I don't know much about to stop the work getting boring.

Presenting work helps clarify fuzzy jumbles.

Also some things everyone knows but isn't supposed to talk about:
Galleries are like Gangs
&
Anyone who can afford to buy art has too much money.
