 UNBOXINGING Mitch Trale and Jacob Broms Englom With Unboxinging, we caricature a common genre of Internet videos. An unboxing video features the ritualized unwrapping and reviewing of an assumedly interesting object. Typically shot in a single take, an unboxing may fetishize packaging as much as the contents of the package. These videos can exist in a place between journalism and exhibitionism and plain bragging. In each of our videos, the object we are unboxing is unknown to us. We exchange packages frequently and blindly, via e-tailers and the post. This lack of foreknowledge makes us more objective during the unboxing. We open each package according to ourselves, working within and without the codes of the genre. We are happy to present our videos to date, and will be posting a new one each weekday leading up to December 25th. We hope that you enjoy any of them.buildinging 2010 View HERE

THE CRUSHING STILLNESS Colin Schappi Colin presents a series of appropriated instructional videos, looped and uploaded on Vimeo, and paired with found live streams.   “Some of these feeds have become inactive and continue to loop in an unwatched limbo, a mirror of my own aimless videos. What happens to our data when we have forgotten it? It lives a life outside us, a very tangible life stabled within server farms. One Second Life avatar consumes as much electricity as a citizen of Brazil.” One new work will be posted everyday at 8 PM for seven days. View HERE

R E M E M B E R 2 0 1 0 ? R E M E M B E R 2 0 1 0  ? undertakes the viral consumptive pace of blogging platforms (specifically Tumblr) to exhibit both digital and internet aware artworks as well as ‘art objects’ presented in their digitally documented form. R E M E M B E R 2 0 1 0 ? is a gesture that both naively acknowledges, and celebrates, the digital attention economy specifically its decentralized relationship to art exhibition and experience, as well as challenges notions of contemporary exhibition, curatorial space and practice; many of the included artists were exhibited without consent. R E M E M B E R 2 0 1 0 ? seeks to exhaust and exploit the blogging experience by featuring over 442 works of art, from 78 artists worldwide, all reblogged one by one, live, over the course of four days.
