WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES (WWW!) Now on view at 📍 39 Great Jones St, NY @artxcode_io @rhizome Piece → "Humans Not Invited" (2019) by @Damjanski 🔗 humansnotinvited.com This artwork upends the traditional hierarchy of the internet by excluding human users and welcoming only artificial agents. Operating as a "reverse CAPTCHA," the web-based installation forces visitors to complete a visual recognition test specifically calibrated to fail human perception while remaining legible to automated scripts.

WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES (WWW!) Now on view at 📍 39 Great Jones St, NY @artxcode_io @rhizome Piece → "papertoilet" by @newrafael papertoilet.com/ paper toilet .com is a website-as-artwork consisting of an interactive depiction of a roll of toilet paper. The artwork is stark in its simplicity, both visually and interactively, as the only animations consist of unrolling the toilet paper via a mouse scroll and double clicking to restart the experience. In its unadorned candor, paper toilet .com is a reminder of how the internet was, and still can be, a rich site of experimentation and play, rather than algorithmic flattening and optimization. In the artist’s own words, paper toilet .com was made for “Interactivity for its own sake, not towards any goal other than the interaction itself.”

WWW! Theme 3/4 → ⭑ Poetic Computing ⭑ WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES! (WWW!) is on view in New York through September 27, and online the exhibition is organized into four themes, each a distinct path through thirty years of art on the web. ⭑ Anarchy ⭑ Abstraction ⭑ Poetic Computing ⭑ Ghosts We're introducing them one by one. Today: Poetic Computing In response to the centralization of the internet, webmasters, creative coders and artists began to informally organise a new movement towards reclaiming a more personal and expressive web. Sometimes referred to as Poetic Computing, this return to learning how to make one’s own website focuses on the slow and laborious task of hand-coding, personalization, decolonizing, decentralizing, and expressing one’s individuality. The movement advocates for code as a medium for narrative and care, proof that an internet serving diverse communities is still within reach. Through landscapes, correspondence, games and journeys, these works invite a different kind of attention. You might linger, lose your way, encounter a stranger or find yourself implicated in someone else’s story. Against the familiar routines of posting and scrolling, these artists make room for intimacy and uncertainty, asking what kinds of connections a website might still make possible. See the works in this theme below ↓

WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES (WWW!) Now on view at 📍 39 Great Jones St, NY @artxcode_io @rhizome Piece → "Monogrid 0.1 (2021 - 2026)" by @kimasendorf 🔗teh.kim/demos/m01/ Before Kim Asendorf’s famous series, Monogrid, was sealed into a fully-fledged body of work, there was Monogrid 0.1. In this deceptively simple artwork, two algorithms share a single surface, one pushing the pixels out of place, the other reinstating them at their origin, creating a momentum reminiscent of a camera pan or stop-motion animation. Every Monogrid that followed was written on top of it. The work is testament to Asendorf’s laser-focus on the form of a pixel itself, and how an artist can embrace it with bottomless curiosity and still be synonymous with simplicity, in the likes of Mondrian and Malevich who came before him, only by other means.

Artists You Should Know → .✦ ݁˖ @petcortright .✦ ݁˖ Petra Cortright (b. 1986, Santa Barbara) lives and works in Altadena, CA. Her core practice is the creation and distribution of digital and physical images using consumer or corporate software. She became renowned for making self-portrait videos that use her computer's webcam and default effects tools, which she would then upload to YouTube and caption with spam text. The through-line is the default: she works with whatever the software hands you, stock effects, clip art, preset brushes, the metadata field, and treats those as a readymade rather than a limitation. Her paintings on aluminum, linen, paper or acrylic are made in Photoshop using painting software and appropriated images, icons and marks. The digital files are endlessly modifiable, but at a "decisive moment" they are translated into two-dimensional objects. She studied Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design, The New School (2008) and the California College of the Arts, San Francisco (2004). Her work is in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, The Bass, LACMA, the Hammer Museum, Moderna Museet Stockholm, MOTI Breda in collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, MCA Chicago, the Kadist Foundation, BAMPFA, the San Jose Museum of Art, MOCA Los Angeles, and Rhizome's Net Art Anthology. She will be part of WEBSITES WEBSITES WEBSITES! (WWW!) Opening September 21st in NY. websiteswebsiteswebsites.net… ↓ below is an overview of some of her past projects
