JODI
At coming Saturday’s event ‘I want to believe’, Dutch new media collective JODI will be presenting their performance ‘ZYX’ for the first time in the Netherlands! ‘ZYX’ was developed for one of Rhizome’s events at the New Museum in New York.
The application records users’ quotidian movements and turns them into choreography—one that captures our awkward, mundane, frustrated, addicted interactions with our ubiquitous devices.

Piet Mondrian

Piero Golia
‘Postcards from the edge’, by Piero Golia, is a series of custom made woven blankets, picturing landscapes of a mythical journey through America, and the only reminders of his vanishing experience.
On January 14, 2005, Piero Golia vanished in New York. He reappeared three weeks later, on the morning of February 7, at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. Between those two dates, he left absolutely no track of himself, crossing borders illegally, travelling without any trackable means of payment, thus living the adventurous life of a fugitive and referencing Bas Jan Ader’s legendary disappearance in 1975.
