A Map Is Not A Trap

Unlike for the picture traps, the moment in space-time that Spoerri trapped in his Anecdoted Topography of Chance has not been preserved as a glued cut from reality. It is a map. And a map is not a trap. The very same map may represent a great many very different possible worlds.

A map, a table, an instrument

A fine early example of an interactive map is Daniel Spoerri's "Topographie Anecdotée du Hasard" (An Anecdoted Topography of Chance). On october 17th, 1961, the artist drew a map of the state of his table at 15h47, in room 13 of the Hotel de Carcassonne in the Rue Mouffetard in Paris, where he was living and working at the time.

Exhibition chmod +x opened

Yesterday the exhibition chmod +x opened in Sign gallery, Groningen. The works exhibited are "love2" by Wayne Clements, "island2" by Martin Howse, "Microcodes" by Pall Thayer and "Class Library" by Graham Harwood. The exhibition presents works that use the computer as a space for social revolution, as location, an ungraspable island that slowly transmits itself to other computers, as actor, mimicking other machines. Executable language, thoughts, ideas and actions translated into code that can be interpreted and executed by a machine.

Sound Maps

A sound that sounds will do so at a certain place and at a certain time. These are typically the sort of data that practitioners of the art of field recording will keep track of, as part of the documentation of their work. Phonographers therefore have always had a natural interest in sound mapping techniques (the linking of acoustic and geographical data).
