Joan Leandre
In the Name of Kernel! Song of the Iron Bird
Experimental video | 0 | color | 0:0 | Spain | 2007
"The Dr Strangelove of computing, Leandre loves the bomb and knows its mechanisms well enough to transform them instantly into the workings of a multi-layered ambiguous narrative, esoteric and seductive at the same time. This is what we can see in his latest project, In the Name of Kernel (2006 - ongoing). The kernel, the heart of every operating system, becomes the myth around which coagulates a symbolic event combining travel literature, the alchemy tradition and science fiction, terrorism and conspiracy theories, programming and mountaineering, 3D modelling and satellite mapping, hallucinations and revelations. A high definition metaphor for those who love the clear air of the high peaks." - Domenico Quaranta
Joan Leandre (b. 1968, lives and works in Barcelona, Spain) Media interpreter, member of the OVNI Archives since 1994. From 1994-1996 I worked on the series of media interruptions MAP (Mega Assemble Project), Fundación Zero and Serial Monuments, in 1995-1997 the Oigo Rom project, later in 1998 in Brooklyn I was involved with the President Archives. In 1999 I worked again with mass entertainment software and started the projects retroyou (RC) and retroyou (nostalG) and the long series still in process, retroyou nostalg2 and the Black Boot Project. Other colective projects I`ve been involved with these years are Velvet Strike (http://www.opensorcery.net/velvet-strike/) and the Archivos Babilonia (http://desorg.org/babylon_25-01-2005.php). I`m currently in that floating point of several considerations which bring the name of the iron bird scream in its flight through the automatic dusk, ...In the Name of Kernel!.

OVNI
0 | 0 | | 0:0 | Spain | 2007
The OVNI (Observatoire de la vidéo non identifiée) was founded in 1993 by the artists Joan Leandre, Toni Serra and Rosa Llop in Barcelona. OVNI's archives have an international and thematic character, facilitating a criticism of the contemporary culture using various strategies such as video art, independent documentary, and the archaeology of mass media. The archives gather a constellation of disparate works of which the common denominator is self-expression and thought about fears and the place of individual in collectives, building, and conjugating a multiple view. A thousand little works go into detail and explore our world or announce other possibilities. A discourse of which major values are heterogeneity, plurality, and contradiction, and in which subjectivity accomplishes itself. In this discourse, subjectivity is the only tool of repulsion against cloning and corporate mass media's repetition. During the various editions, the thematic character of this convocation changes through selections of works into a reading, a particular register of our time's dreams and nightmares. Thus, one could verify how the concerns' spectre has been gradually concentrated, taking part in a very developed range at the beginning of OVNI in 1993-1999 (to develop and explore video language's boundaries, recovering its first formal freedom and theme), until that it concentrates itself more and more on specific themes : Identity against Media (1997-98), Community (2000), Globalization (2002), September 11th's Consequences (2003), Resistances (2005), and the Colonial Dream Independent Zones (2006).
The Catalan artist Joan Leandre has been a member of OVNI (Observatoire de la vidéo non identifiée) since 1993. From 1994 to 1996, he worked on the series MAP (Mega Assemble Project), Foundation Zero and Serial Monuments.

Adult Playground 1.0. In 1998, he participated in President Archives in New York. In 1999, he began the project retroyou.org made for the break series of software retroyou RC, retroyou nostal(G), retroyou nostalg2, and the mailing list autoreplicant http://ddtpv-txmx7-bbgj9-wgy8k-b9ghm.org.

In the Name of Kernel Series - Lonely Record Sessi
Video | dv | color | 20:0 | Spain | 2009
?In the Name of Kernel ! The Magic Line? is the third installation of the ?In the Name of Kernel series?, introducing Leandre?s critical practice of media interpretation and reversing engineering to a new audience. ?In the Name of Kernel ! ? gathers his last videos in an open cycle. They offer to the viewer a complex narration in which he can decode the mechanisms of the fascination for technology to which we are usually subjected, such mechanisms, that will then condition our perception of the world. In that sense, the work of Joan Leandre is quite subversive. In this installation, the kernel, which is at the heart of most computer systems, becomes the myth around which a symbolic event coagulates. It combines travel literature, the alchemy tradition, science fiction, terrorism and conspiracy theories, computer programming, mountain climbing, 3-D modeling, satellite mapping, hallucinations and revelations. Joan Leandre explores the troubled imagination of a fundamental principle of computer science, without regard for its potential uses, be they military or dreamlike. The image itself, which is created by manipulating computers, changes its status. Along with the images, the blind power of the Kernel appears, the kernel in whose name all technological usages become possible.
Joan Leandre lives and works in Barcelona. He is media interpreter and member of the OVNI Archives (Observatoire de Vidéos Non Identifiées). since 1994. From 1994 to 1996 he worked on a series of media interruptions called ?MAP? (Mega Assemble Project), ?Fundación Zero? and ?Serial Monuments?. From 1995-1997 he was involved in the Oigo Rom project, and later in 1998 in Brooklyn he was involved with the President Archives. In 1999, he began working again with mass entertainment software and started the projects ?Retroyou (RC) and retroyou (nostalG)?, and continues to work on the series ?Retroyou nostalg2? and the ?Black Boot Project?. Other collective projects include Velvet Strike and the Archivos Babilonia. Since the begining of the 90ies, Joan Leandre is a media interpreter, an Internet archeologist. He make permanent excavations and collects data. He archives numerous datas that have been ?forgotten?, on a corporate site for example, or, contrariwise, data that have very short apparition before becoming confidential or outdated in terms of technologies. Going further than the apparent usability of such or such interface, he tries to create a state of consciousness concerning what the machines are able to make us do because of our ignorance and the power of the ideological conditioning on our understanding of the real today due to the new images. Since 2006, the work of Joan Leandre lies essentially on the analysis and the deconstruction of games, simulation or military training softwares. His work has been shown at the Sonar festival, Barcelona, at Transmediale, Berlin ; at the Whitney Biennial in the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, at the Laboral Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, Gijon, at the Moscow Biennale, at the ZKM, Karlsruhe.

Earthwork
Video | hdv | color | 5:0 | Australia | 2016
Earthwork’s screen is positioned flat on the floor, facing upwards. The visitor, looking down, gets a bird’s-eye view of a suburban landscape in which there are destroyed buildings, damaged roads, fences, and gardens. The image suggests a world that has undergone massive disruption. It is unclear whether accident, entropic forces, or warfare has caused this result. Superimposed upon Earthwork’s devastated landscape is another smaller image that presents the viewer with an alternative framing the site. We see diagrams: symbols of what might be location coordinates, suggesting an ongoing search for boundaries, and an intention. The two images appear to be attempting to “ line-up ”, but this is never achieved. The title, Earthwork, references the American Land Art movement of the 1960s; Leber and Chesworth’s videowork further explores Robert Smithson’s concept of the “ non-site ”. A non-site is an artwork situated in a gallery that metaphorically represents a remote actual site. As Smithson suggests “ the site is evading you all the while its directing you to it ”.
Sonia Leber and David Chesworth are known for their distinctive installation artworks, using video, sound, architecture, and public participation. Developed through expansive research in places undergoing social change, Leber and Chesworth’s works are speculative and archaeological, responding to architectural, social, and technological settings.

Where Lakes Once Had Water
Video | 4k | color | 28:14 | Australia | 2020
‘Where Lakes Once Had Water contemplates how the Earth is experienced and understood through different ontologies – ways of being, seeing, sensing, listening and thinking – that reverberate across art, Indigenous thought, science, ancient and modern cultures, and the non-human.’ Sonia Leber and David Chesworth travelled with a team of Earth and environmental scientists who are investigating changes in the climate, landscape and ecology over 130,000 years. Their journey took them to Australia’s Northern Territory, to spectacular yet challenging environments, from locations of long-term aridity to lush, green waterways. Where Lakes Once Had Water channels the experience, where Indigenous rangers, Elders and community members collaborate with scientists. Working across the ancient shorelines, everyone is receptive to the signs, signals and rhythms of the land. Meanwhile, non-human cohabitants continue their struggles for survival. Leber and Chesworth deploy video as a tool, scanning tree lines, erosions, termite mounds, and the effects of water, sun and fire. Their disquieting sound design encompasses natural and human-made sounds, and the hidden signals and energies that exist beyond human hearing. The project is a journey across audio-visual realms, scientific endeavour and Indigenous knowledge – a coalescence of efforts to understand the ancient land. "Where Lakes Once Had Water" was commissioned by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH) in association with Bundanon. It was filmed on the lands and waters of the Mudburra, Marlinja, Jingili, Elliot, Jawoyn and Larrakia communities in Northern Territory, with additional filming and editing on Barkandji, Dharawal, Djabugay, Yidinji and Wurundjeri Country. University of Wollongong Art Collection, Australia.
Australian artists Sonia Leber and David Chesworth are known for their distinctive video, sound and architecture-based installations that are audible as much as visible. Leber and Chesworth’s works are speculative and archaeological, often involving communities and elaborated from research in places undergoing social, technological or local geological transformation. Their works emerge from the real but exist significantly in the realm of the imaginary, hinting at unseen forces and non-human perspectives. Leber and Chesworth’s artworks have been shown in the central exhibitions of the 56th Venice Biennale: All The World’s Futures (2015) and the 19th Biennale of Sydney: You Imagine What You Desire (2014). Solo exhibitions include What Listening Knows, Messums Wiltshire, UK (2021) and the survey exhibition Architecture Makes Us: Cinematic Visions of Sonia Leber & David Chesworth, Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, Australia (2018) touring to Griffith University Art Museum, Brisbane (2019) and UNSW Galleries, Sydney (2019).

Nuit bleue
Experimental fiction | | color | 86:0 | France | 2010
"Celui qui n`accepte pas de se laisser égarer n`empruntera jamais que des chemins déjà tracés: il risquera de manquer celui qui le concernerait en propre. A moins qu`il ne sabote tous les chemins, les coupe et les embrouille."

Paljon on iloakin
Experimental video | dv | color | 10:0 | Finland | 2005
The script in "There is a Lot of Joy, too" is based on discussions with a young boy who has Asperger's syndrome. The script became a fictive dialogue between a boy and his mother.

Tir dans le miroir
Performance | hdv | color | 0:0 | France | 2010
Jean-François Lecourt est né dans le Perche le 3 Novembre 1958, au sein d’une famille d’agriculteurs. Il entre à 17 ans à l’école des Beaux-Arts du Mans où enseigne Gina Pane, une des artistes fondatrices du mouvement de l’art corporel. Parallèlement, il suit l’éducation d’un Maître d’Arts Martiaux en Karaté Do (la voie des mains nues) de l’école Shotokan, et s’adonne assidûment aux pratiques du Tir à l’arme à feu et du Tir à l’arc. Sa démarche est basée sur l’analogie et l’identification. Une méthode qui le conduit à la découverte de l’aspect cyclique et symétrique des processus de tir et de photographie ; d’où le concept majeur de son œuvre : Le Tir dans l’appareil photographique.Cet acte artistique est un cérémonial immuable qu’il pratique depuis 1977. Il ne s’agit pas pour lui d’illustrer une névrose autodestructrice mais de tenter, en un retour immédiat, d’abolir l’arrêt fatal du cliché. La photographie est donc ici un Art martial. Comme dans le Kuy-Do, la cible à atteindre est soi-même, le but étant la réalisation au présent de celui qui pratique. Une nouvelle création vidéo de 2010 implique une série de films qui mettent en jeu l’autoportrait, la détonation, effondrement et la renaissance du paysage, ce travail s’intitule « Les tirs dans le miroir ».

phone tapping
Experimental video | betaSP | color | 9:30 | Korea, South | 2009
The film is built up from that single, imperceptible instant that signals the shift from day to night, a fleeting moment in which what was, is no more, where things might acquire fresh significance. A voiceover guides us through the city, while the camera seems to be searching for a specific plot of land, for the coincidence between narrative and image. The topography of the site continues to advance, while in parallel there emerges a second topography ? mental this time, ? until, perhaps, they meet, somewhere here, in a new psychical space. Using the city of Seoul, it is a personal story that is being told. Our role is to follow it and select a locus of interpretation: truth, (urban) folktale ?

Truce Triptych
Video | hdv | color | 3:52 | United Kingdom | 2012
Inspired by Old Master paintings, three slow-moving tableaux images appear depicting scenes of conflict and resolution on the streets, at home and in the workplace. Shot on locations in East London the images feature young people playing various roles including a young pregnant mum representing Justice and a smart young man battling with a politician at the doors of a local Job Centre. These evocative and multi-layered images employ both photographic and filmmaking techniques, challenging the audience to see different things in them on each viewing. Under the direction of Eelyn Lee, young filmmakers and photographers from A New Direction?s Headstart worked alongside filmmakers at Eelyn Lee Productions and photographers Tim & Barry to create this compelling piece of moving image work. Commissioned by A New Direction

The Garden of All Spheres
Experimental VR | 0 | color | 0:0 | Korea, South, Germany | 2019
Garden of all spheres is a VR experience which exhibits the live simulation of a pseudo-ecosystem. The garden is built in the video game environment, which can exhibit the most advanced technology in the production and presentation of real-time CGI and simulation. The library of the virtual scenery is parallel with the modern natural history museum - the eye-catching collection of nature - the inventories which are ever-expanding and impossible to complete. Skysphere is a primary, simple prop for creating an illusion of horizon. In the nature of Virtual Reality, the player?s eye is located in the centre of the sphere. It becomes her private sky which is impossible to feel the scale of it - as much like as the sky in the physical world. The camera moves beyond the stage, from inner shell to outer shell and reveals the boundary of human-centred viewpoint. This spherical garden mediated through VR glasses, which embodies the desire for a seamlessly expanded vision. All the animals, humanoids, trees, stones, lights, skies are reflected on the surface of gazing ball and exhibited in the spherical vitrine, and the exhibition becomes meta-ecosphere.
Yoonjoo Lee is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Berlin. Her artistic practice generally focuses on the relationship between voyeuristic/Intellectual curiosity and technology of representation. She uses various digital technologies such as 3d animation and video game engines for a platform of the moving image experiments and explores the apparatus-mediated vision. She is currently studying experimental film and generative art in the Berlin University of Arts.
Cathy Lee Crane, John Di Stefano
Tra
Video | hdv | color | 5:35 | USA, Canada | 2024
‘Tra' is an ode to Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. ‘Tra' synthesizes the narrative of his film ‘Teorema' (1968) by highlighting its interstitial moments. The act of running that appears throughout the film is isolated and deployed to expose the film’s subtextual currents.
John Di Stefano is an artist/filmmaker, writer, and curator whose work reconciles the personal with the social, the everyday with history through hybrid forms of documentary practices and the essayistic form. His work often deals with his immigrant past seen through a queer lens, including the feature-length 'You Are Here' (2009) which premiered at the Festival International du Documentaire (Marseille). His award-winning work has also been featured at the Videonale (Bonn), Whitechapel Gallery, Tensta Konsthall, Barcelona Museum of Modern Art, Para/Site (Hong Kong), and Anthology Film Archives. His critical writings appear in various international publications. He teaches at Concordia University (Montreal). Cathy Lee Crane is an experimental filmmaker whose work mines the historical archive to produce lyrical films of speculative history. She was a Guggenheim Fellow, and in 2015 her work enjoyed its first survey at the National Gallery of Art (Washington DC). Crane’s award-winning films –including 'Pasolini’s Last Words' (2012)– have screened at Viennale, Cinematheque Francais, BFI, and Arsenal/Berlin. Her interest in borders saw the release of 'Crossing Columbus' (2020) about the border town of Columbus, New Mexico which was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Harun Farocki Institut in Berlin. She teaches at Ithaca College (New York).
