ZONES OF EMERGENCY - Monday Night @ VAP lecture series
Networks, Tactics, Breakdown
Mark Tribe
MIT Visual Arts Program
Location: N51-337, (Joan Jonas Performance Hall)
Video blog: http://zonesofemergency.net
Mark Tribe will present a selection of projects, such as the Port Huron Project, that explore how tactical practices and public interventions use the internet and other networks as a means to instigate political discourse and public collaboration. This work addresses zones of emergency in a broad sense, raising issues related to the psychological condition of being politically oppressed. Mark Tribe will bring his view of participatory networks online and off and the potentials of these techno-cultural arrangements to produce social and political change.
Mark Tribe is an internationally renowned artist and curator whose interests include art, technology, and politics. He is the co-author, with Reena Jana, of "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006). His art work has been exhibited at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, and Gigantic Art Space in New York City. He has organized curatorial projects for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, MASS MoCA, and inSite_05. As the founder of Rhizome.org (in 1996), an online resource for new media artists, he now chairs the Rhizome.org board of directors. Tribe received his MFA in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994 and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990, where he currently serves as Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media Studies. The focus of his teaching is on digital art, curating, open-source culture, radical media, and surveillance. He splits his time between Providence and New York City.
