SARCOPHAGUS at ARS Electronica 09

For ARS Electronica 2009 the GATE to ETERNITY opens
its virtual locks and starts to accept TEST PILOT DATA
(digital traces, info dust, ascii noise etc. of SEPP KEISER
and TIMOTHY LEARY) to be released by the public:
friends and family, archivists, fans and YOU!

http://www.missioneternity.org/gate/

Submitted data can be uploaded directly into the PILOTS'
ARCANUM CAPSULE from where it is released from control
forever and spread by the ANGEL APPLICATION.


The SARCOPHAGUS took off from a holy mountain ridge
in central Switzerland on Aug 31, went straight for the GATE,
and was rejected due to the five tons of steel attached to its data.

Damned to travel earth until it falls apart, the SARCOPHAGUS
then landed on the rooftop of the Ars Electronica Center in Linz,
Austria. Never too close to the ground but denied access to the
GATE, it took refuge from farmers, Swiss hillbillies and straying
bankers to celebrate the ARS Electronica Festival 2009 with the
global art crowd in Linz. Visit etoy.AGENTS and ANGELS for the
exhibition this Thursday through Tuesday!


The Opening: Thursday Sept 3, 10AM
MISSION ETERNITY SARCOPHAGUS located on the
Ars Electronica Center upper deck: 48°18'36.7"N 14°17'6.8"E
http://www.aec.at/humannature/en/category/ars-electronica-center



TALKS AND APPEARANCES by etoy.AGENTS during the festival:

Thurs. Sept 3, 10AM, Festival opening: SARCOPHAGUS and etoy
ground crew on AEC upper deck: Hauptstraße 2, 4040 Linz, Austria

NEWS: transfer of etoy.ZAI from ECAL to ZHdK / etoy announces shared leadership model

etoy.ZAI transforms: he steps down as etoy.CEO and leaves his position as a professor for Media & Interaction Design at ECAL - University of Art and Design in Lausanne - to enter new academic challenge in the city of Zurich and to explore a new organizational model with etoy.CORPORATION.

Quote ZAI: "At the etoy.CORPORATION general meeting of last Saturday (6.6.2009) I announced that I will not be available for another term as etoy.CEO. My responsibility as chief executive officer will officially end on 16.8.2009 at the GM of etoy.VENTURE association, the annual meeting of etoy.AGENTS in Heiligkreuz/Entlebuch. The GM will be part of the art exhibition: "IM ANFANG WAR DAS WORT" and takes place on the top of a Swiss mountain: http://www.etoy.com/blog/archive/2009/06/16/mission-eternity-sarcophagus-dropped-at-heiligkreuz.html). I want to push change to the outer limits: last week I served my last day at ECAL after 7 years in Lausanne and today accepted an exciting offer from Stephan Trüby, the new head of the Postgraduate Studies MAS Scenography at Zuercher Hochschule der Kuenste. The Institute for Design and Technology at ZHdK with its excellent team of international scenographers, curators, architects, neurologists and historians opens up perfect perspectives for me and my work. etoy remains my main interest and occupation.

*******************************************

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: German and/or English speaking students with artistic or theoretical background can apply for the master’s program that merges and expands the fields of exhibition design, stage design, digital architecture, urban intervention and media culture. DEADLINE: 27.6.2009! Local and international students are wanted. INFO and TARGET GROUP: http://sceno.zhdk.ch/index.php?s=courses&id=4&lang=en

*******************************************

DETAILS: After ZAI's announcement the board of etoy.CORPORATION S.A. asked the management team consisting of core agents MONOROM, HAEFLIGER and ZAI to assume shared leadership of the art group for the next period of 12 months. The roles of CEO, CFO and CTO will be consolidated to cut overhead and increase artistic / academic output.

ZAI: "...after 13 years on the admin bridge of the NET.art-tanker etoy I am hungry to question corporate art and to test-drive the next form of shared authorship far away from the naive illusion of the genius artist. Collaboration remains in the center of my interest. The organizational sculpture must evolve."

It's in the code and logic of etoy to reconfigure values and leadership behavior: the group started in 1994 as a controversial street gang on the information superhighway, failed as boy group in 1995, then morphed into a dot.com monster that reached its peek (and imploded) 1998 in San Francisco - but survived the blast to surprise the world with its denial to sell the etoy.com domain for the highest price ever offered for an internet art work (TOYWAR). Once identified as successful hacktivists and the good guys online, etoy totally redefined itself one more time to open up its identity, assets and potential to much more artists and fans: within the years that followed more than 20 active etoy.AGENTS and 200 investors joined the art group (a registered shareholder company) and turned etoy into a distributed community of engineers, craftsmen, intellectuals, supporters and co-owners who code, weld, bend, study, increase and own the corporate sculpture etoy.CORPORATION.

Unique and often intangible works such as the long term project MISSION ETERNITY (http://www.missioneternity.org/) are the consequence of this strategy.

Sharing remains the most relevant attribute of the current version of etoy. That's the reason why the core product - from an economic perspective - remains the etoy.SHARE: people who want to join, change, observe, archive or posses etoy must share risk and resources. There is no excuse or detour: participants must co-own etoy and not stay detached spectators or innocent collectors. That's how etoy pushes its work further and it's the way etoy finances costly digital art outside of conventional markets.

Despite world wide crisis, distrust in stocks and the fashionable damnation of shareholder value among trendy culture consumers etoy underlines the mechanism of sharing as a fundamental principle that must be discussed beyond black and white thinking or simple radical chic.

etoy.AGENTS started as immature pirates and remain punks. They work, look and talk like shy office clerks, mysterious nerds, highly charged construction workers, calm researchers, architects on the edge of physical reality or spurious salesmen. etoy.AGENTS are artists that constantly cross the line. They all have dirty hands and long term plans: subversion of established code and the search for adequate art.


SHORT TERM PLANS INCLUDE:

-> July 5, 2009 opening of the show "im anfang war das wort" Heiligkreuz / Entlebuch / Switzerland
-> August 15, 2009 GM etoy.VENTURE association (etoy.AGENTS)
-> August 16, 2009 public workshop MISSION ETERNITY STOWAWAYS

note from the etoy.QUEER-LABS

We know there's a little gay guy in everyone. But the etoy.BUREAUCRATS forgot to celebrate this fact!

etoy.CORPORATION SA wishes to apologize officially for not consulting the etoy.QUEER-LABS before setting this year's GENERAL MEETING date.

Shame on the chairman and all his board members: the 6th of June 2009 is the day of the EUROPRIDE PARADE & FESTIVAL in Zurich! EuroPride is this year's biggest gay event in the world: a celebration and political demonstration for acceptance and tolerance, against discrimination and against the creation of taboos and violence on grounds of sexual orientation. Political speakers include the politician and publicist Daniel Cohn Bendit, the mayor of Zurich, Corinne Mauch, and the Moldovan human rights activist Mihaela Copot.

http://www.europride09.eu/

The chairman proposes triple voting rights for all etoy.SHAREHOLDERS who can show probable cause that they practice/tested same-sex romance and/or participate in the general meeting as cross-dresser/gender-bender.

In addition, etoy installed the position of agent.PINK who can be contacted to delegate voting rights in case the celebration schedule cannot be synchronized with the etoy.MEETING-PLAN. ---> use: gay[at]ir.etoy.com

etoy at Manifesta7

For Manifesta7 etoy built its brand-new TANK8 that serves as infrastructure to support the agents in their self-encapsulation for MISSION ETERNITY. As defined by the protocol, each ARCANUM CAPSULE adheres to basic standards for replicability and access and extends beyond the standards adding arcane, individual traces of life, post mortem plans, snapshots and time stamps, and anything that can capture a fraction of a person's life in the form of digital data. The quest for this trace, the memory and the loss, the deadline and the virtuality behind this ultimate boundary drives MISSION ETERNITY.

Join the etoy.AGENTS in Bolzano this fall: open until November 3, 2008
Observe our daily routines and our great new office at Via Volta 11: http://www.etoy.com/cam/2008-bolzano/

Currently in self-encapsulation mode:
agent ZAI: inviting people for personal conversations captured in video and sound: friends, neighborhood kids, local politicians, farmers, former girlfriends and strangers.
agent HAEFLIGER: logging a series of meditations and transcribing their content to capture a snapshot of his life today.
