* Concise summary of the development of video art since 2014* Part of the 'Hartware MedienKunstVerein' series * Accompanied an exhibition at HMKV, Dortmund from 02 June to 20 September 2020Every month, the art association HMKV presents the latest videos by international artists in its series "HMKV Video of the Month" which has been ongoing since March 2014. The idea for the series came from the desire to show the newest artistic productions in rapid succession, changing works at a faster pace than in the exhibitions of the HMKV. For the first time, this publication unites all 78 works that have been exhibited since 2014. The videos address a variety of different topics and stories, ranging from labour conditions, structural changes, speculative technologies, or posthuman machines to technology (and its history) as well as artificial intelligence. A wide array of works is devoted to the old 'new' right-wingers and the alt-right. The book not only shows stills of all videos, but each work is also accompanied by an introductory text to provide a comprehensive overview. Text in English and German.

* The new reference work on this subject * Includes an extensive glossaryThis book focuses on right-wing populist movements that are heavily reliant on the Internet and social media to spread their ideas. It explores the emergence of a (sub)culture of transgression in online forums such as 4chan and on platforms such as Breitbart News. The artists featured in this volume address Internet phenomena such as memes (e.g., Pepe the Frog, probably the most well-known symbol of Trump supporters), figures such as Steve Bannon, flag worship, the prepper scene, white supremacists, and Dark Enlightenment. The catalog includes a comprehensive introduction to the issue, an interview with the science writer Angela Nagle, entries on all of the works, a critical glossary, and a list of links to relevant online resources. Text in English and German.

ALT–RIGHT COMPLEX - The On Right-Wing Populism Online: HMKV AUSSTELLUNGSMAGAZIN 2019/1

Individual Artists

* From the series HMKV Dortmund* The relationship between gender and technology in past and present* With 23 activist perspectivesComputer Grrrlz brings together 23 international artistic positions that negotiate the complex relationship between gender and technology in past and present. The book deals with the link between women and technology from the first human computers to the current revival of techno-feminist movements. An illustrated timeline with over 200 entries covers these developments from the 18th century to the present day. The publication presents artists, hackers, makers and researchers who are working on how to think differently about technology: by questioning the gender bias in big data and artificial intelligence, promoting an open and diversified Internet, and designing utopian technologies. The perspectives presented here address a broad range of topics: electronic colonialism, the place of minorities on the Internet, the sexist bias of algorithms, the dangerous dominance of white men in the development of artificial intelligence and digital surveillance, but also ideas on how we can change our traditional ways of thinking. Artists included: Morehshin Allahyari, Manetta Berends, Zach Blas & Jemima Wyman, Nadja Buttendorf, Elisabeth Caravella, Jennifer Chan, Aleksandra Domanovic, Louise Drulhe, Elisa Giardina Papa, Darsha Hewitt, Lauren Huret, Hyphen-Labs, Dasha Ilina, Roberte la Rousse, Mary Maggic, Caroline Martel, Lauren Moffatt, Simone C. Niquille, Jenny Odell, Tabita Rezaire, Erica Scourti, Suzanne Treister, Lu Yang. Text in English and German.

How and why do artists customize, sort, organize, and scrutinize archival information? Potential considers the role of the archive in current artistic practice through the work of 11 international artists who engage with archival and documentation processes. Using the archive as a starting point, each artist regards archiving as an ongoing research process in their work, one that may result in a variety of outcomes rather than one fixed object. In presenting and critiquing these different approaches, Potential encourages the questioning of inherited concepts and the consideration of alternative, more flexible and reflexive methods.
