Prosume This

THE PRODUCT IS THE MEDIUM

‘This Friday we open our show, Prosume This! – the Product is the Medium, at the electronics store BEKO at Kottbusser str 9 in Berlin. Beko is a typical mid sized electronic retail chain who will lend us some of their corporate space. We are using 30 of their high definition screens to show works by 10 great artists. For a couple of hours during their regular opening times, we’ll display video and net-art pieces on the stores TV walls.’18th of November, 17:00 – 19:00 BEKO, Kottbusser Str. 9, Berlin

Artists: Anthony Antonellis, Anika Schwarzlose, Constant Dullaart, Baden Pailthorpe, Michael Manning, Emilio Gomariz, Adam Cruces, Niko Princen, Emile Zile, JK Keller.

Prosume This is organized and curated by Kim Asendorf, Anika Schwarzlose & Jonas Lund.

Review of ‘Five Production Company Logos in 3D’ by Urszula Dawkins in Realtime 103

http://www.realtimearts.net/article/103/10353

Philip Brophy, in his catalogue essay for Five Production Company Logos in 3D, sees Emile Zile’s groin-level gesturing aptly as a ‘spoof’ on masturbatory corporate excess. It strikes me also as a kind of post-mass-media shadow-puppetry, almost as though Zile might be telling us a story around the campfire, his flickering hands casting the shape of mythical battles or god-heroes onto thin air.
