His past solo and collaborativeprojects as curator include: ‘Street Digital,’ comprising gallery installation work by artist duo JODI;‘Wild Sky,’ which explored contemporary perceptual regimes through artists’ images of the sun and cosmos; ‘Screen Worlds,’ a permanent exhibition at ACMI in Melbourne, Australia; ‘Essential Cinema,’ the opening exhibition at the Toronto Film Festival’s new venue; and ‘The New Normal,’ a touring exhibition of artworks that used private information as raw material and subject matter. Connor previously worked as Curator at FACT, Liverpool and Head of Exhibitions at BFI Southbank in London. While at the BFI, he oversaw the development of an interactive moving image archive designed by Adjaye/Associates as well as a gallery dedicated to artists’ film, video, and new media.

With a special focus on the last era of the “unpopular web,” the event will also highlight the ways that contemporary artists used the electronic BBS, Thing.

Join Rhizome, the New Museum and lead speaker Wolfgang Staehle for an exclusive look at BBS archives that have not be accessible to the public for over a decade.

Rhizome’s 3rd Annual Seven on Seven Conference Impresses with Innovative Collaborations Between Artists & Technologists

On Saturday, April 14, Rhizome hosted their 3rd annual Seven on Seven conference at the New Museum in New York City. Each year Rhizome pairs seven leading artists with seven technologists in teams of two, and challenges them to develop something new — be it an application, social media, artwork, product, or whatever they imagine — over the course of a single day.

The New York Times describes Seven on Seven as a:

“contemporary-art-meets-technology cage match, except that there is no cage and the artists and ‘technologists’ who go head to head over the course of a day emerge generally unscathed but for some sleep loss. If everything clicks, they might also emerge with a great idea for the digital world or the world of art, or both.”

This year’s participating technologists included Jeremy Ashkenas, Blaine Cook, Michael Herf, Marissa Mayer, Aaron Swartz, Khoi Vinh and Anthony Volodkin. The artists were Aram Bartholl, Xavier Cha, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Naeem Mohaiemen, Jon Rafman, Taryn Simon and Stephanie Syjuco.

You can watch each of this year’s presentations at Rhizome.org or check out some great synopses of each of the presentations on  Renny Gleeson’s blog.
