'Curriculum Visiteur' Functions as a year-long subjective archive and case study.
By compiling the data of visited exhibitions into viewed artists, curators, and spaces, it will serve to provide listed data that can be organised into quantifiable fields. The list also serves as an exercise in accelerated viewer bureaucracy in an art world that values the frequency and volume of visits, serving as networking opportunities, and following the logic of show participation to add a line to a CV.
2016 Audience Member includes only artists born after 1900 listed in exhibited artists in temporary exhibitions. 2016 Audience Member excludes permanent collections, online exhibitions, and art fairs.

Rustan Söderling
'Hidden Depths' is a computer animated video work with an accompanying collection of downloadable 3D props hosted on sketchfab.com.
At the moment of doubt, worlds open up, and each fresh report from those strange worlds leads to further doubt. This has been the century of the invention of the personal and collective unconscious, of anthropology, palaeontology, of science fiction and scientific cosmological speculation: the creation of thousands of other worlds, terrestrial and extra-terrestrial, apparent to the eye of a traveller or beyond the reach of the telescope, buried in the earth, hidden within an unsuspecting mind. ( . . . ) in the century of uncertainty, of mass man and the bombardment of images, one can see the world in a grain of sand only if one simultaneously sees the thousands of undressed oiled bodies baking on the beach, the web of their social interactions, the raw sewage pumped into the sea and the contaminated lives of the marine animals, the kiosks with their pink bunnies and rubber ducks, the thumping transistors and careening Frisbees, the bumper-to-bumper traffic snaking along the coast. A macrocosm without the microcosm.
— Eliot Weinberger, The Spider and the Caterpillar (1985)
In William S. Burroughs novel The Wild Boys (1972) feral boys roam what is left of a devastated earthly landscape, murdering, raping and pillaging. Leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. For Burroughs this was probably the ultimate erotic fantasy, youth running amok, destroying the past and creating an uncertain future as they go along, the goddess Kali on a hover-board. The cover of my pocket copy features the airbrush-painted ass of one of the Wild Boys covered in rainbow speedos with trickles of blood going down his thighs. However, as with Naked Lunch I didn’t enjoy the book at all, no matter how much I wanted to, it was more a chore than a pleasure to get through. But somehow the image of the Wild Boys is an exciting, if terrifying one; A sub-human torrent of self-indulgence, the id running amok, or to quote the earlier Weinberger text “raw sewage pumped into the sea”. What would wash up on shore after the wreck? What artifacts would be left next to the bodies of their victims? Imagine the morning after, would there be an inspector Morse or Barnaby arriving at the crime scene? A CSI forensic team in blue overalls and rubber gloves, marking the evidence with tiny yellow tents, mapping out the unconscious of the mindless. Surveying each millimeter of this strange new world of pink bunnies, Frisbees, instant noodles, plastic cutlery, rubber sandals, empty cigarette packages, doubt and uncertainty. A scene from dystopian krimi where everyone's a suspect.

Balthazar Berling
'Signe' is a list of sounds from Periscope's users.
The list will change over the summer with the intention of using the collected material for the writing of a theater play. At present, the selection considers the following directions:
• Together, practise whispering and speaking in a low voice: this arouses attention and a kind of collective expectation. When we whisper, our gazes can cross again.
• Speak in a befuddling way: seek conversation situations in which the uses of language can be knocked together and mingled.
• Set words and bodies in a situation of negotiation. Encourage their reciprocal influences to act full throttle. Words should be able to carry bodily experiences and vice versa. It is not about rejecting language. Try to mingle words into bodies and bodies into words.
• Approach any deficit of embodiment or absence of physical presence as beneficial crises, as potential occasions to explore and learn.
• Observe the hollows: What is happening when we think nothing is happening? What are the continuities between the waves, between the intense moments? Try to put yourself in the position of these hollow passages.
• Faced with differences, exercise astonishment.

Balthazar Berling (b. 1985, Paris) is Currently based in Stockholm.
Berling’s working process is performance-based and happens in dialogue with others. His practice focuses on the body, its faculty of speech and its gestures. Since 2013 his research deals with the contemporary transformations of male subjectivities. His process is influenced by a growing understanding of feminist theories and practices. http://www.balthazarberling.com/ & https://vimeo.com/130481363 + 2015

Perce Jerrom
'The Facebook Fake Profile Archive' acts as repository documenting fake Facebook profiles. The public group allows members to upload these fake accounts when they discover them, before they are eventually removed by the social media site.
Many of these profiles are created automatically utilising software to build potentially thousands of fake social media accounts, the software can randomly select images for the profiles along with other personal details, such as where they work and live. These accounts exist for a number of reasons, sometimes they are purchased by companies and individuals to act as fans for a page or they can also be created for spreading spam or data mining real accounts.
Fake Facebook profiles generally share similar characteristics to one another. Examples being that their profile pages are relatively empty aside from their birthdate and their profile picture. Other attributes are that they rarely display a cover picture, they usually have very little or no posts and they often have few friends. Finding a friend request from someone who you do not personally know or share any friends with, coupled with the previously mentioned attributes will in most likelihood mean that the profile is fake.
⌇
Perce Jerrom was born in the UK graduated from his BA at Oxford Brookes University in 2009, he also graduated from an unaccredited MA at School Of The Damned in 2015.
He has recently exhibited and organised shows at Bikini Wax (Mexico) Yautepec (Mexico) Turf Projects (Croydon) STCFTHOTS (Leeds) Welcome Screen (London) Bosse & Baum (London) Rogue Project Space (Manchester) and Platform 1 (London).
In 2015 he completed a residency at Casa Maauad in Mexico City, he also attended a residency at ESARQ (Escuela Superior de Arquitectura) in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2013.
Perce Jerrom’s practise currently draws from modern technologies, user-generated websites, search engines and their algorithms. He often uses existing online ephemera to discuss wider social and cultural issues; such as technology’s effect on language, the perpetual re-contextualizing of medias, the presentation of the self, and the democratization of information. He attempts to integrate elements from both high and popular culture, combining the humour and baseness of low culture but also often referencing contexts and theories devised by various Art movements throughout history.
Perce currently lives and works in London.

'Images:Images (2016-2021)' is an archive of the Google image search results returned by the search term ‘images’. Each entry of the archive will contain the two first pages returned by Google image search with its standard setting, as well as the first page returned with image size = large setting. Entries to the archive will be recorded each month for five years and stored in the Internet Archive.
In the five-year term the project aims to track the evolution of the online popular visual culture through the trends found in the image searches. At the same time, each entry to the archive is a snapshot of the present collective subconscious and shows us what we - together with Google’s crawling algorithms - consider to be a beautiful image.
Although these images can be dismissed as kitsch or tacky, their mesmerising quality is hard to resist. They certainly are attracting, reassuring us that there is hope for tomorrow and that life still has some magic left in it. In 1000 years, when one of our descendants stumbles upon the archive and understands that this is how we wanted to be remembered, I have succeeded.
TL;DR for the next five years I will be googling the word "images" in the Google image search and saving the archive for all eternity.

Snorri Ásmundsson (b. 1966) is an artist who seeks to affect society through public events. He has intentionally disturbed the Icelandic community for some time with his extensive and remarkable performances in which he works with social taboos of politics, sex and religion. He has observed the reactions of society when commonly accepted values are turned upside down—for example, when a powerless individual takes into his own hands authority that normally is given to others by different predetermined rules. Howsoever people react to these grandstand performances, Snorri critically challenges social and religious values and seeks sharp responses, thus examining the limits of his fellow man and of himself.

Anne de Vries
‘Submission’, an online extension of the work shown at Cell Project Space in London, Dec 2015.
Submission is an attempt to give form and purpose to our hyper connected world and reveals it as information driven reality where digital technologies are embedded in everyday life and feed a human desire to surpass the limitations of body and mind, where boundaries of accessibility and freedom can also question the realm of personal privacy and control. It deals with varying notions of ‘the individual’ inside mass collectivity of ‘pluralist culture’ bringing into question an evolving ideology of design and architecture in the public sphere.
⌇
The exhibition follows Anne de Vries’ current solo exhibition at Cell Project Space 'Submission' (2015), ‘E-Merge’ at Foam Museum Amsterdam (2015), and ‘Deep Screen’ at Parc Saint Léger,France (2015).
Selected group exhibitions include ‘Still/ Life’ at Three Shadows Museum, Beijing (2014), and ‘It aint whatcha write, it’s the way atcha write it’ at Manifesta Foundation, Amsterdam (2014) ‘Super cial Hygiene’ at De Hallen (2014), ‘The Dark Cube’ at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012), ‘Brands – Concept/Affect/Modularity’ at Salts Basel (2014) and ‘The Moving Museum’ in Istanbul (2014).

Salvatore Arancio
Starting from his own experience of being hypnotised, 'MIND AND BODY BODY AND MIND' sees Arancio humorously attempting an unlikely group hypnotherapy session, focused on a script extrapolated from a Youtube video, that aimed to hypnotise the unaware sitter to became a better artist.
Arancio proceeded to replace the video’ s initial images with its own psychedelic mash up of found and made footage, layered with flashing lights emulating similar alpha waves to the Dream Machine created by Brion Gysing and Ian Sommerville in 1959, as well as binaural beats and an actor’ s voice reciting the exact original text.
Both existing as a performance and a video, Arancio’ s immersive and hypnotic piece aims to questions ideas of perception, authorship and reproduction as well as the text somehow ordered description of what an artist is meant to be.
Commissioned by Whitechapel Gallery.
⌇
Salvatore Arancio uses a range of media including sculpture, photo etchings, collage, animation and video to produce works that look to science and nature as sources of inspiration. Fascinated by founding myths and legends, Arancio manipulates images to create new juxtapositions that are both beautifully evocative and deeply disquieting. Born in Catania, Italy, Arancio lives and works in London. He received his MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art.

Andrea Williamson
'Green Idol'.
Fan art is like a prayer to a deity of beauty or intrigue. The meditation upon a face of intrigue slows the drawer down line by line, stroke by stroke, until the faced mandala is perfected. However as prayers need to be repeated again and again, the face of a celebrity may be painted in series, coming across as obsessive compulsion. It is also just a prayer to a modern deity and an act of love.
This populist love can be put to use for the overall health of the planet:
"In 2006 when Knut, the polar bear cub born into captivity in a Berlin zoo, splashed across the front page of Vanity Fair alongside DiCaprio, the once-universal symbol for the world’s most popular soft drink was reframed to reinforce a different message. In this new image, the cuddly polar bear of Coca Cola’s “Northern Lights” commercials from the 1990s underwent a radical facelift. DiCaprio strikes a serious pose, engaging the viewer eye to eye from atop a Jökulsálón glacier in Iceland as Knut looks up at him with curiosity." (From Hijacking Sustainability by Adrian Parr)
Dear fans of Cosmos Carl, Leo and Knut are back with a most humble message of hope.

'KUWTK'.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians (often abbreviated to KUWTK) is an American reality television series that has aired onE! since October 14, 2007. The show is currently in its tenth season and focuses on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family. Its premise originated with Ryan Seacrest, who also serves as an executive producer.
The series mainly focuses on sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian. It additionally places emphasis on their parentsKris and Caitlyn Jenner (then known as Bruce), their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and brother Rob Kardashian, as well as Kourtney's ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. The significant others of the Kardashian sisters have also been featured on the show, including Khloé's ex-husband Lamar Odom. In season eight, Caitlyn's son Brody, who has made cameo appearances in the early seasons, joined the show to appear regularly, along with his brother Brandon, and Brandon's wife, Leah. Kim's best friend Jonathan Cheban and Khloé's best friend Malika Haqq have also been a part of the show.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians has received poor reviews from critics since its premiere. It has often been criticized for emphasizing the "famous for being famous" concept and for appearing to fabricate aspects of its storylines. However, the show has brought in very high ratings for the network and its success has led to the creation of numerous spin-offs, includingKourtney and Kim Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Khloé & Lamar, and Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons, as well as the forthcoming Dash Dolls. It has additionally distributed all seasons to DVD.

The end is a location (outside or just beyond the penultimate location).
It is just a little bit further than the place where you would stop having ended.
The end is unrequited finishing – It lingers about outside of action.
It is a lost place where things probably end up having done all they were supposed to do.
Networks totally have an end. Even distributed ones.

An easy, USB media player, that works on all screens, and syncs without problems or cables. Technology that does not need to be exiting. It's boring, you know why? Because it just works.
You can help DullTech™ to make the first production run, by pre-ordering the DullTech™ media player, a custom signed player, or any of the brand new DullTech™ merchandise via kickstarter.
⌇
DullTech is a hardware startup and performative artwork concurrently. Created as a form of radical corporate publishing in an age of high efficiency capitalism, it creates technologically simplified or 'dull' products in order to distribute artworks in tribute to the late Ray Johnson. Initiated during a 2012 OCAT residency in Shenzhen China, with the company's motto 'neoliberal startup lulz', most products relate to production processes in the artist's studio. The company has exhibited in the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam, HMKV Dortmund, Transmediale Berlin and the White Building in London.

Valinia Svoronou
'The Gravestone Doji' explores the language of candlestick type financial analysis as a point of departure. Striving to understand trader sentiment, broker code, uncertain subjectivities, this type of analysis is mostly influenced by market emotionalism. Buy on greed, sell on fear. In 3 chapters,
Cultural artefacts stirred with the fates of abandoned airports | Subtitles as a necessary accommodation | For half a day I hiked around the abandoned runways and scrubby wastelands, everything was surrounded by wire fences and weeds had taken over wherever they could | Ghostly halls | smashed windows | broken doors | barking dogs | all expecting mountain top investments | A stalker in a car following me, maybe he is not a stalker, maybe he is just doing a u-turn | Small drones ascending and blocking the sky | the ally cemetery | luggage storage under capital controls | the market sentiment.

Marguerite Humeau
HOW MAJESTY ENDS is a “flat” and expanded video produced by artist Marguerite Humeau and designer Le Studio Humain for Cosmos Carl to be explored by means of searching scrolling. This tale of non-linear time and narration conflates the supernatural and post-human and unfolds around the mystery of an elephant ceremony: a mass graveyard elephants go to to die, lured by a seemingly supernatural force.
HOW MAJESTY ENDS demarcates the prologue, or initiation, of a larger project by Humeau - narrating the walk of an individual to the mysterious place.
A quest for the unknown as truth, a challenge to human primacy.
⌇
Marguerite Humeau (b. 1986, France) studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven and at the Royal College of Art, London, where she obtained her MA in Design Interactions in 2011. Her work was recently shown in a solo exhibition at Import Projects, Berlin and has been included in group exhibitions at TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (Vienna), the Serpentine Gallery (London), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London) and the Hayward Gallery (London). Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and of the Fonds de Dotation famille Moulin (Lafayette Collection), Paris. She lives and works in London.

Geirthrudur Finnbogadottir Hjorvar
'VESLA'
The production of VESLA is supported by Mondriaan Fonds.
⌇
Icelandic artist Geirthrudur F. Hjorvar is attempting to re-institute symbolic meaning as a trend for a contemporary context. To this end, geometry turns out to be useful as a way to create allegories about the nature of perception; or as an explanation about how reality and its representation collaborate to form self-regulating feed-back loops.
Past works have been presented in Kunstverein Amsterdam (2015), Momart (2014), Stadhausgalerie Münster/Kunsthalle Münster (2013), W139 (2013), After the Butcher (2012), Kunstverein Milano (2012), Hafnaborg (2010), The Living Art Museum (2012), Motto Berlin (2012), Lettergieterij Amsterdam (2012), Hinerconti (2012), Kunstverein Ingolstadt (2011), SouthSouthWest (2010), Overgaden (2007), The Reykjavik Art Museum (2007), Bus Gallery (2006), etc.

Yuri Pattison
'1014' re-purposed archive deconstructing the history of a persona as our common history and reality.
When Edward Snowden leaked the extensive materials on NSA phone and internet surveillance, he was sitting in a Mira Design Hotel in Hong Kong, the images of which are now well known and infamous. The video 1014 (http://1014.link/) Irish media artist Yuri Pattison later produced of this very hotel room, now appears like documentation of the scene of a spy thriller and emptied stage.
Between 2000 and 2002, Snowden was editor, webmaster and designer of Ryuhana Press, a small US based start-up and community website that had sold anime art. Archived under https://web.archive.org/web/20020620171530/http://ryuhanapress.com/ed.html, Pattison obtained the then expired rights of the website and has turned it into an archive of raw footage of a scene, that seems to be representing not just the Persona Snowden but the NSA and its operations as such.
Drawing an arch between Snowden's past and the present, raw elements of the work 1014 are hosted, to be discovered, and likewise unfold a web of links to discover Snowden’s past. Pattison explores the malleability of the architecture of the internet as a tool to link these events and thus malleability of the digital historical record and our perception of history through the filter of the internet.

‘CHAPTER 1’ is an online torrent of image and text material produced by the artist and available to download.
Torrent Files are computer files that spread in a peer-to-peer file sharing network across the internet. Torrent files hosted on servers are marked with trackers and allow for downloads to start from distributors (known as seeders) and requesting clients (known as leechers), thus multiplying themselves throughout the net.
CHAPTER 1
…
I’ve started to think about what this means. The merging from me to you; transferring, receiving, a sort of bleeding from one source to another, perhaps as a way to give context to something perhaps as a thing in itself. A kind of container, a temporary architecture, a storage space for connective tissues. Maybe it’s a broadcast, a pirate radio station trying to be on point on the right frequency, on the correct bandwidth.
…
When we sit in this same room together and talk about weekend craft markets, DIY zine distro’s, pavilions, and biennales that have good wheelchair access, and how our interests span from sign language to gang signs, what we are really talking about is architecture. Structures for distribution, fleeting edifices, we construct the ephemeral. We want things to emerge so that they can disappear again, we want things to move and keep moving. Maybe we’ve had our best conversations at bus stops, orbiting around ideas, repeating ourselves, stuttering, changing what we are saying, always waiting, always due. A love affair with the elliptical, talking about the ellipsis. Coming back again and again, but never quite on the same path. No buildings were meant to last forever.

'Another tab open on your desktop.' From Friday February 20th to Friday March 6th, Kulesh will maintain a comment-able Google Doc covering the events of AW15 fashion month (Feb 12 to Mar 11, 2015) as seen through the prism of Sylvanian Families; a line of collectible anthropomorphic animal figurines made of flocked plastic. This continues Kulesh's research into the acceleration of culture producing a byproduct of infantilism; also known as 'the kawaii-ization of everything.'

Leslie Kulesh (b.1982 Lake Forest, IL USA) produces performance and sculpture across multiple platforms, seeking to reveal the role of technology as a material labour that intersects with human-being as well as land-being, becoming a symptom of contemporary culture production. Her most recent project T.A.G. Temporary Autonomous Girl is a capsule collection of garments that protect the wearer from electromagnetic frequencies. Presenting the collection allows for experiments in performing networked capitalism, while the pieces themselves function as editioned artworks.

Luca Francesconi
'Fieldwork' is a selected YouTube playlist concerned with the ideas of ecology and cultivation of (cyber)space.
"The limit is the empirical part of the space, and I realized how to establish borders, which is the beginning of the activity in each cultivation, is a way to manage large spaces into smaller spaces. Manage spaces, but also “to organize” spaces, and finally “curate” spaces... Cultivation is only an activity, human life, nothing about the order and the art. Before agriculture there is rhythm, and before the rhythm there are space and the limit."

Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson
'Calling you from Cosmos Carl'
⌇
Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson (b.1984) is a storyteller, a performer, a dancer, an object maker, an illustrator. He has a love for the absurd, by which is meant less an obsessive passion for the ridiculous, nonsensical or the odd, than a tender and caring attitude: he takes care of the absurd, he helps it to develop, he gives it a place alongside everything else where it can be your most disturbing neighbour and your best friend. More often than not Styrmir uses the written language as a genesis of his work. Written pieces are then adapted into live performances that activate obects, things and gestures. The performances and their narrative, that often are delivered as monologues, serve as an exhibition device for autonomous art objects. Styrmir lives in Amsterdam & Warsaw. www.styrmir.eu
