Online Art Commissions, 2005/6 Commissions & Prizes

As part of Metamute's relaunch, we have started a project of online art commissions funded by Arts Council London, the first of which is Out-of-Sync's The Fourth Floor. Over the next year, curators Timothy Murray and Diana McCarty will introduce and contextualise a further three more, so keep an eye out. It is our hope that these works and the contextualistions provided will form a useful starting point for further discussion...

The Fourth Floor by Out-of-Sync Commissions & Prizes

Title: The Fourth Floor :: Le Quatrième étage
Author: Out-of-Sync
Date: 2005
The Fourth Floor :: Le Quatrième étage transports the viewer to a Parisian non-place loosely based on Georges Perec's novel, Life: A User's Manual. Combining methodologies developed in traditions of hypertext, digital video and blogging, artists Out-of-Sync (Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark) animate image, experience and memory using a self-styled interface whose axioms obey traditional spatial categories only to run away with them...

Thinking Blogging Out-of-Sync OpenPublishing | Commissions & Prizes

ByTimothy Murray

Collaborating for fifteen years as Out-of-Sync, the Australian artists, Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark, engage in performative explorations of affect via intersecting new media interfaces, sound, CD-Rom, installation, video, internet, and graphics. Wishing to bring the touch of the human – its skin, organs, and emotions – directly into the mix of computing culture, they have systematically developed artistic projects that inject the messiness of feeling, sound, trauma, and delay into the digital frontier’s paradigms of efficiency, speed, and transparent cognition. They initially set out by combining Miranda’s digital imagery with Neumark’s experimental sounds to investigate the unpredictability and confusion of human communication, as enhanced by digital sound and image. More recently, interdisciplinary experimentations with video installation, internet art, and mobile computing have extended the international reach of their studios in Coogee Beach and Sydney.

Metamute meets Echelon literary competition, 2001 Commissions & Prizes

In the summer of 2001, Mute publisher Simon Worthington was offered an anonymous donation of euro1000 for the magazine. The donor's caveat was that we use the money to engage with the issue of surveillance, with Echelon being the cause du jour at the time. The result was a humorous literary competition whose call for submissions says it all... Winners were announced and featured in Mutella No. 10, 2002.
