2011/11/7 etoy.HG ******@etoy.com>:

Hi Hojun,

Hope this message finds you well, it's been a long time!

I have good news for you: Sylvie Reinhard (CCed) is going to be in
Seoul  Nov 25 - Dec 3, scouting for exciting projects for a next LIFT
event in Korea - and she volunteered to  bring the etoy.OSSI receiver
backpack to its new home in Switzerland!

You'll certainly agree with me that this is a good opportunity to
finalize a step in the `cultural value exchange` we initiated back in
Gwangju. If you're around or can make sure Sylvie gets the piece:
please do get in touch with her!

And do let us know what you're up to, too! :)

Sending kind regards,
etoy.HG

Conversation with Yann Toma

[ etoy.ADMINISTRATION / *INVESTOR-RELATIONS ] [ etoy.ADMINISTRATION / *CEO ] [ etoy.ART-COLLECTION ] [ etoy.FAQ ] by etoy.HAEFLIGER @ 18.05.2010 23:07 CEST

excerpt from a longer communication to be published by Art&Flux:

Yann Toma (Chairman of Ouest-Lumière): Tu suggères une intensification de nos relations d'entreprise. Comment envisage-tu aujourd'hui la relation entre deux entreprises critiques?

agent HAEFLIGER: Absolutely yes! I believe the continued exchange of knowledge and experience between critical companies is of great value to both partners. In business terms, synergies are clearly visible: both companies face growing markets, under-informed clients and critics, blissfully ignorant public institutions, disintegrated and chaotic supply chains, high price fluctuations in global end-customer and secondary markets, and a social environment that still views critical companies all too often with an old-left myopia for cutting-edge technology and an outright phobia of capitalist institutions. In artistic terms, the exchange covers production methods, working routines, critical thinking and continued struggles to keep a team running, and most of all the organizational challenges that are so critical to solve in order for the art production to rely on a solid fundament of communication and risk management and sharing.

Synthetic Times - etoy's favorites

[ etoy.ART-COLLECTION ] [ prod.SHARE-CERTIFICATES ] [ prod.SHOWS / 08_CHINA_NAMOC ] by etoy.HAEFLIGER @ 01.07.2008 13:38 CEST

etoy picked a few favorites from the current Synthetic Times show at the National Art Museum of China in four relevant but arguable categories:

Innovation:

all agents agree on this one

Sissel Tolaas' wall with the scent of 11 men under fear. By introducing this "new media" the artist opens up a totally new space for both: deep intellectual reflection at the base of human communications as well as a strong and ultra direct sensual experience. For the etoy.AGENTS this is one of the best and most radical artworks ever. Unfortunately in Beijing Tolaas is not presented in its own separate room which would be necessary to unfold the full potential of this excellent example of:

A) ART IN BETWEEN: super abstract on the visual level, totally intangible in its essence and ultra concrete (REAL - NO FAKE!) on the technical / scientific layer.
B) INTERACTION: people have to rub the wall in order to release the scent (intangible art that you have to touch to release. No mouse / No screen. No visible interface ->just perfect).
C) THE PERVERSION OF THE NATURAL: while smelling is part of our fundamental navigation system it almost always remains undercover and subliminal - as long as a sent is not too penetrating... the fear of 11 men is certainly very penetrating!

... as with every good artwork there are hundreds of other levels that can be discussed... find out yourself! but control your instincts when consuming FEAR11.
and stop breathing when walking by more than 10 times a day! (And don't rub the walls before you had breakfast!!!)

Interaction:

agent haefliger suggests blendid - a collective that built a human-sized scanner that would take anyone's picture and display it on the scan surface seconds after the exposure. It works perfectly fine as tested by museum guards a million times ;-) etoy loves this and takes it as a proof of quality if museum staff gets involved... even if some of the artists dont like it.

agent zai loves Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's work very much. Easy to access, clear but still complex and very unique.

Critique:
exenomo set up an ego shooter that allows you to shoot random household items out into the green field and create fantastic noise to go with it.

Beauty:

agent haefliger voted for mw2mw, by their own account, built a beautiful wall that sucks in flickr images and blends them beautifully. Possibly as much beauty as art can take.

agent zai prefers Anthony McCall's Light Installation You and I, Horizontal III because it looks so simple and is so complex / advanced at the same time. People love to stare into the light of the projector which turns the work into a masterpiece of bidirectional art. The audience becomes part of the intangible sculpture while the picture on the wall is great - but only one part of the essence. wherever you look inside this system: beauty, intellectual challenge and art history blink back. brilliant!!!

Invest in art today: it's probably the only value investment today with a clear buy and a straight face!

share model adopted

[ etoy.ART-COLLECTION ] by thommy @ 07.08.2005 13:25 CEST

people are adopting our share model. what about an "aktientasch"?

***

Aktienaktion

Legen Sie Ihr Geld künstlerisch wertvoll und finanziell lukrativ an - mit den selbst gestalteten Aktien von Christoph Schlingensief, John Bock, Daniel Richter (bereits ausverkauft), Katarzyna Kozyra und Antje Majewski! Diese fünf Künstler haben extra für den Volkspalast in unterschiedlicher Stückzahl besondere Aktien entworfen, um die Durchführung des Projekts Volkspalast zu unterstützen. Der Erlös aus dem Verkauf der Volkspalastaktien fließt in das knappe Budget der Zwischennutzung ein und trägt dazu bei, diese als Gesamtprojekt bis zum Ende durchführen zu können.

Die Aktien werden in Auflagen von 20 bis 200 Stück zugunsten des Volkspalasts verkauft - erwerbbar entweder telefonisch im Büro des Volkspalasts in den Sophiensælen unter 030 - 278 900 54 oder per Email: info@volkspalast.com.

Die Aktie von Antje Majewski ist aus der Idee entstanden, Geld zu gestalten, das eigentlich gar kein Geld ist. - So wie die Aktien eigentlich gar keine Aktien sind. Für ihre Gestaltung verwendete Majewski das Münzmaterial Gold, Silber und Kupfer, um damit symbolisch das Erscheinungsbild des Palasts wiederzugeben: angegriffen und oxidiert. Auch tragen die Münz-Aktien das leicht unterschiedlich gestaltete Kreissymbol des Palasts in sich: In ihrer Mitte befindet sich eine mit Ölfarbe bunt betupfte 1. Die Aktien von Antje Majewski erhalten Sie in Graphiken auf 20x20 cm Platten aus:
2x "Gold" (Stahl+Blattgold) je 500€
3x "Silber" (Alu) je 400€
3x Kupfer je 300€
in den Materialien Blattgold, Ölfarbe, Graphit, Alu, Stahl, Kupfer.

Die Aktie von Katarzyna Kozyra ist eine photographisch gestaltete Holzplatte, erhältlich in der Größe 15 x 30 cm (ungefähr DIN A 4). In einer Auflage von 50 Stück sind sie gegen einen Preis von 50 € erhältlich.
