Click here to launch the site in a new window.

Statement:

In our view, life_sharing both asserts and transcends objectness and formality; it represents a synthesis of the form and object into what might be called form-object art. Resolving at one stroke the problem of content without compromising the purity of the nonreferential object as such, life_sharing, by exactly representing the data of our personal computer, nevertheless introduces new content and a new concept, in the total phenomenological sense, by actually representing the actions of someone other than the Net Artists plagiarized. That is, in their real meaning, life_sharing is Net Art plus, Net Art and more, and the implications to be extracted from them will occupy, we hope, the artistic and critical community for years to come.

In their double orientation between past and present, life_sharing represents an advance in another respect; in no other form but pure data can the thing be so sharply distinguished from its self, the an sich, or essence, from the fur sich, or reality. What is at work here is lived experience relived, or more accurately, the coded object recoded.

Bio:

0100101110110101.org is a name chosen by 0100101110110101.org to refer to Net.art projects of multiple origins. The name is fixed, the type of projects using it aren't. The purpose of many different Net.art projects using the same name is to experiment with a situation for which no one in particular is responsible.
