Firefox Art panel at ROFLTHING 1/24/09

I’ll be moderating a panel at the upcoming ROFLCON NYC event on Saturday Jan. 24th about Firefox art projects with fellow F.A.T. Lab members Steve Lambert (Add-Art and NYTimes Special Edition) and Tobias Leingruber (China Channel and Pirates of the Amazon).

We’ll also be talking about ArtZilla, our new repository for Firefox add-on projects usually denied from listing on the addons.mozilla.org universe for being “useless art.”

New York City ROFLThing
When: January 24th, 2009
Where: Santos Party House (96 Lafayette Street, Manhattan, NY)

Featuring Alexis Ohanian (Reddit), Charlie Todd (Improv Everywhere), the creator of Comic Sans, the founder of 4chan, Bre Pettis and a host of others to be announced.

ArtWikiMarathon in ArtNews Magazine, April 2008

Lamar Clarkson of ArtNews Magazine wrote about The Great Internet Art Wiki Marathon that went down on January 26, 2008. We had several dozen participants from all over the world, hundreds of edits, and tons of fun! Marathon #2 is coming up this Saturday, April 26th, save the date.

Transcript:

WIKI BUSINESS: “If it’s not on the Internet, it doesn’t exist,” Irene Polnyi said as she clicked through gallery Websites, looking for information about William Powhida’s large-scale drawings to add to the Wikipedia page she was creating for him. “He’s one of my favorite contemporary artists,” she added. “He recently became my friend on Facebook.”

Polnyi was one of dozens of people around the world participating in the Art Wikimarathon, a daylong effort to increase the visibility of contemporary art on the popular website Web encyclopedia, which anyone can edit. The online event, organized by artists Steve Lambert and Joseph del Pesco, drew art enthusiasts from Malta to Marfa, Texas. Marathoners armed with laptops gathered at artists’ homes, at bagel joints, and at Eyebeam, the experimental art & technology center in New York where Lambert is a senior fellow. Altogether, the groups made nearly 100 edits by the end of the day. They kept in contact via an instant-message group chat, which dinged every few seconds with tips, links, and chatter.

Despite Wikipedia’s reputation for sloppiness and amateurism (contributors must cite sources but needn’t vet them), the site is often a first reference for Web users. As a result, artists without a Wikipedia presence might suffer, said video and performance artist Marrisa Olson. “I’ve actually heard people dis artists by saying, ‘He doesn’t even have his own Wikipedia page,’” she told ART-news in an e-mail.

Lambert hopes that people will continue contributing entries and says he may organize another marathon. Among the new entries logged that day were the 1990s Australian cyberfeminist collective VNS Matrix and a catchall page on the Bay Area art scene. Because Wikipedia forbids article subjects from editing their own entries, the artists confined themselves to starting pages for their friends — also verboten, but as one participant told the chat group, “I think they mean, ‘Don’t make pages for your nonfamous friends.’”
