PRESS RELEASE
Stedelijk Museum
Amsterdam, 21 March 2008
Deep Screen – Art in Digital Culture
Proposal for Municipal Art Acquisitions 2008
30 May – 30 September 2008
Stedelijk Museum CS
Guest curator: Andreas Broeckmann
Deep Screen – Art in Digital Culture presents contemporary works of art which are
all in some way marked by today’s digital culture. The jury, chaired by guest curator Andreas Broeckmann, has selected 18 artists out of the 200-plus submissions. In the course of the exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum CS, director Gijs van Tuyl will select works to be acquired for the museum’s collection.
The increasing digitalisation of our culture has consequences for the arts. We take instant photos with our cell phones, pick out the shots we want in the blink of an eye on the computer screen, and create our own version of reality using Photoshop and iPhoto. The influence on the visual art world is apparent in the temporary nature of the images used and the centrality of process, repetition and change.
Artists participating in the exhibition: Mark Bain, Pierre Bastien, Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukács, Erwin Driessens & Maria Verstappen, David Jablonowski, JODI, Gabriel Lester, Meiya Lin, Erica van Loon, Luna Maurer, Nathaniel Mellors, Geert Mul, Marnix de Nijs & Edwin van der Heide,Gert-Jan Prins, Remco Scha, Roland Schimmel, Jochem van der Spek and Jasmijn Visser.
The submissions range from paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture and installations right through to video artworks and generative software art. However diverse the media employed, all the works reveal how visual imaginations and artistic perceptions are changing in today’s digital age. For example, Gabriel Lester will exhibit video images of landscapes which are made by robot cameras and focus attention both on the idea of artistic intention and on the inclination of viewers to romanticise what they see. Meiya Lin exploits the universal visual language of the video clip. The styling looks Asian but, because the decor is stripped of all real stylistic features, the end-product is devoid of style: a commentary on the iconography of images in our society. The rotating sculpture by Marnix de Nijs & Edwin van der Heide is a sinister bar-type barrier which responds to visitors with movement and sound, appearing to attack them like some aggressive animal. David Jablonowski produces a special installation for the exhibition. His work emerges from a sculptural tradition but incorporates influences from the digital 3D world. Even Jasmijn Visser’s huge drawings betray the influence of the digital revolution. Her highly detailed, meticulous, minutely changing depictions of tanks, aircraft, ships and electricity pylons constitute an inquiry into the iconography of graffiti, comic strips and animated films.
The members of the 2008 jury were Marten Jongema, Xander Karskens, Julika Rudelius and Lucas van der Velde. It was chaired by Andreas Broeckmann. Up to last year, Broeckmann was Artistic Director of the Transmediale international media art festival in Berlin; he has also worked for V2 in Rotterdam and writes about art, digital culture and the post-media world.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication of the same title, containing an essay by Andreas Broeckmann. The exhibition is being part-funded by the City of Amsterdam.

stedelijk博物館
客座策劃：Andreas Broeckmann
屏幕之深 - 數字文化中的藝術呈現所有以某種方式為標誌為今天的數碼文化的當代藝術作品。評委主席同時也是客座策劃的Andreas Broeckmann ，已從200多份方案書中選定了18個藝術家。展覽在stedelijk美術館其間，館長 Gijs van Tuyl 會選擇哪件作為博物館的藏品。
文化上日益增加的數字化直接對藝術產生影像。我們通過手機拍即時的照片，挑選出我們眨眼間在計算機屏幕上看到的圖片，通過使用 Photoshop和iPhoto，創造出我們自己的現實版本。臨時性圖片的使用和過程中的中心地位，重複和變化，對視覺藝術世界的影響是顯而易見的，
展覽藝術家包括：Mark Bain, Pierre Bastien, Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukács, Erwin Driessens & Maria Verstappen, David Jablonowski, JODI, Gabriel Lester, Meiya Lin 林美雅, Erica van Loon, Luna Maurer, Nathaniel Mellors, Geert Mul, Marnix de Nijs & Edwin van der Heide,Gert-Jan Prins, Remco Scha, Roland Schimmel, Jochem van der Spek and Jasmijn Visser.
方案書的範圍從繪畫，素描，攝影，雕塑和裝置直接進入視頻藝術和生成軟件藝術。藝術家利用不同的媒界，所有作品揭示了在今天的數字時代里，視覺的想像和對藝術的看法如何發生變化。舉例來說，Gabriel Lester 將展出由機器人攝影機拍攝的景觀圖片，同時將注意力集中在對藝術意圖的構思並讓觀眾的產生羅曼第克的審美傾向，以romanticise他們所看到的。林美雅利用了視頻剪輯中普遍的視覺語言。雖說風格上具有亞洲藝術的特點，但關鍵在於它剝離了所有影像語言中的現實文體特徵，作品的結果是所有風格的集體缺席：關於影像圖像在我們的社會的最終判斷。旋轉雕塑是Marnix de Nijs & Edwin van der Heide的一個酒吧式的屏障，開始是為了在聲音和律動上配合觀眾，然後逐漸像帶侵略性的動物般開始攻擊觀眾。David Jablonowski 為展覽創造了一個特別的聲音裝置。他的作品包括了從傳統的雕塑出發， 同時整合了被三維數字世界的影響。甚至Jasmijn Visser龐大的素描形式上抵抗並背離了數碼革命的對她的影響。她非常詳細，細緻， 的描繪坦克，飛機，船舶和電力塔構成探析影像塗鴉，連環畫和動畫電影。
2008年的評審由以下成員組成： Marten Jongema, Xander Karskens, Julika Rudelius and Lucas van der Velde. Andreas Broeckmann為首席評委。直至去年， Broeckmann是柏林Transmediale國際媒體藝術節藝術總監的transmediale國際媒體藝術節，他亦曾為位於鹿特丹的V2工作，並撰寫有關藝術，數字文化與後媒體世界的文章。
