Telic es “algo dirigido o que tiende hacia una meta o propósito; útil". Por ejemplo, "estoy conduciendo mi coche a Los Ángeles" es una declaración de Telic, mientras que "estoy conduciendo mi coche" no lo es, ya que no hay destino. Telos, en griego, significa "el fin" o "el propósito"

Los artistas informáticos que exhiben sus obras en el festival Ars Electonica y tienen trabajos en el Academia son Telic- personas bastante geniales una vez que los conoces
Telic cubre prácticamente todo lo que tiene que ver con la tecnología. Se encuentra en Wired Magazine, pero Telic no se trata solo de computadoras: hoy está en todas partes. El término "telic" proviene del mundo griego Telos (el fin) y significa algo que apunta a un destino específico. Telic es impegnato" y es productivo. El diseño industrial (genial) como Apple, (y no tan genial) IBM y Microsoft, casas de moda como Prada y Calvin Klein, diseñadores como Bruce Mau son Telic. Las revistas suelen ser Telic a menos que se conviertan en manifiestos. Y, por supuesto, la mayor parte del arte hecho con computadoras, pero también la mayor parte del arte conceptual, es Telic.

Telic es nuestra relación con las herramientas que nos ayudan a diseñar el mundo y ver las cosas en perspectiva. Telic está en los teléfonos móviles y las computadoras, e incluso en la forma en que se fabrican nuestras casas y indumentaria.
Nuestros tiempos son Telic ”.

»Neen is a name to evoke a movement. It’s not only art. It’s also social and philosophical/lifestyle. Actually, there are two names: Neen and Telic.” «
“ Operación Telic (Op TELIC) fue el nombre en código con el que se llevaron a cabo todas las operaciones militares del Reino Unido en Irak entre el inicio de la Invasión de Irak el 19 de marzo de 2003. Telic significa una acción intencionada o definida (del griego telos). Ellos también emplearon un programa de computadora para elegir el nombre: el Ministerio de Defensa británico usa una computadora para generar sus nombres, de modo que no tengan connotaciones abiertamente políticas. El significado fue inicialmente desconocido, pero a medida que la planificación inicial tuvo lugar durante el período de Navidad de 2002, el término se hizo conocido en broma entre el personal como un trasfondo de Tell Everyone Leave Is Cancelled. ((Dígale a todos que salir de la guerra está cancelada) .”
Telic se describe como “algo dirigido o que tiende hacia una meta o propósito; útil". Por ejemplo, "estoy conduciendo mi coche rumbo a Los Ángeles" es una declaración Telic, mientras que "estoy conduciendo mi coche" no lo es, ya que no hay destino. Telos, en griego, significa "el fin" o "el propósito"«
»Sometimes Telic-people produce a bit of Neen... Its usually something they hide inside the nightmare of their job«
"An entrepreneur/politician/director", writes Nicolas Bourriaud: "Today’s artist appears as an operator of signs, modeling production structures so as to provide significant doubles.”
“ Cuando Nicolas Bourriaud me invitó a participar en TRAFFIC, (CAPC, Musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux, 1996), la exposición que lanzó su Estética Relacional, me sumergí de lleno -como todos- en el Arte Contemporáneo. Aún así, esperaba algo diferente, algo que vendría sobre nosotros desde el azul y cambiaría el juego. ¿Por qué? Porque "Art" era un juego fácil ... Todos nosotros, los artistas que aparecen en esta 
Looking back at the arts and lifestyle of the last ten years, I can see four distinct trends: 1. “Relational Aesthetics” coined by Nicolas Bourriaud. 2. “Beige” created by Olivier Zahm and Elein Fleiss, (Purple Institute, Paris). 3. “Telic” coined by Miltos Manetas and Lexicon Branding 4. “Neen” coined by Miltos Manetas and Lexicon Branding
These 4 art trends, form a square with each trend on each corner. Most of the art and style that started in the late 90's, can be found in that square. Takashi Murakami for example, is a combination of Relational Aesthetics and Otaku-Neen. Some of the artists he promotes are a new flavor of Manga-Beige. Matthew Barney is a Telic-Futurista, while his ex-wifeBjork is Beige-meets-Neen-meets-television. Martin Margiela is Telic but sometimes he is also Beige-for-the Pope and Bernhard Wilhelm is Neen-Naive. Nike is Telic-goes-to-the Analyst, while Adidas is classy Telic. Doug Aitken is Telic-Relational-Spectacular, while Mariko Mori dreamy Telic. The magazine Dazed and Confused is a "Relational Pizza", the Italian Vogue a Telic Fashion Miracle while Butt- the gay magazine- is gay in such a Beige way that it is actually Neen!

“In 2001 I started iamgonnacopy.com In that page you could vote FOR or AGAINST intellectual property and copyright. Back then I wrote this text: The Coca Cola logo. A little poem. A well known painting by Picasso, a Pokemon picture, an article published in a website, a scientific discovery about DNA, a Beatles song, a piece of computer software. Think of your perception as a piece of land. Once you will access any of the above, something is built over it. What you've seen, heard or learned becomes part of your self, literally your property. There is no way to undo that information. You will have to work to put it in order, accept it or modify it in a way that fits your mental scheme. The more intelligent you are, the more you will have to work. You are now a vehicle, a subway train wall and a cultural slave. You cannot go back in time and become a person who doesn't know how to write FedEx, but if you will actually decide to write it over your paintings, FedEx may sue you: that company holds a copyright and apparently owns that part of your head Where the FedEx logo is located. There is a company based in Amsterdam which produces screen recognition software. Its' clients, can use their technology to help their newest systems communicate with their older computers. A New York based company sued them on the basis that they keep a pattern on screen recognition. Content (what the case above, what the old computers are saying), becomes a valuable for whoever will register a way to read it! It promises double profits. A painter may become famous because the public saw his images. He will sell the physical object-the canvasses but he will still demand control over the public's imagination, through his copyright. One of the most beautiful aspects of contemporary life is emulation. It makes from life an open project, a work in progress. But our freedom to emulate is limited. This page is naive: it will not attempt to be scientific* because I didn't' study law. But I know that what I mostly enjoy do is copying, even more than creating or even consuming. I also know that none of the people who's work I respect, could live without copy. Miltos Manetas, 2001…

“in New York City…
In 2007- still suffering from a sense of loss for my great Existential Computing idea (which now seamed gone forever with only the video on YouTube left, the beginning of a conversation that nobody really seamed interested undertaking), I accepted giving a seminar at the Hayward Gallery in London, commissioned to me by a young curator.
"What's the subject of your workshop?" She asked. "Existential Computing"- I said- "A subject that I know nothing about..."
Existential Computing started when Caroline Hancock and Paul Green asked me to do a project at the Hayward and they booked for me the Waterloo Sunset Pavilion. This location is unique, a capsule in the city designed by artist Dan Graham.
But unfortunately, there's something wrong with it, something went wrong with its construction, or maybe it was the artist's intention.
So I asked the curators to bring a cat there, because a cat may have been able to fix the Pavilion's problems. But Museums, every-time I ask for animals they refuse, they give me computers instead and videos and digital cameras which is not the same at all, because cats know how to record events in a way that is not digital but its not analogue either. Cats collect quantum facts from multiple realities. I think cats are Universal Reporters.
Existential computing however, started on Feb 3. Some people came and begun working like crazy, doing I don't know what. Working on their machines, working, working.. Others came to visit.. As one of them said later, ??? I learned about things I knew already but I wasn't sure they actually exist???.
And finally there was a party and speaking about data that meet each other beautifully, while I was showing Rafael Rozendaal's futurephysics.com where planets attract each other, a total lunar eclipse started and went on for an hour and fourteen minutes.
»Are you expressing a new version of troubleshooting «
»a 21st century idea of unhappiness?«
»What a beautiful thing that would be«
»Malcolm asked me straight away after his arrival at the Hayward«
»what a way to put it I said..«
»Yes, I do!«
The first of December 2006 I had an idea- ideas often come to me with a tittle-this idea had a tittle too, "Existential Computing". But the day after after, I realized that the concept of Existential Computing had disappeared from my memory somehow, the only thing I knew about it at that point, was that it was different than anything else and therefore revolutionary, something very important to try and discover.
???Hi. This is Miltos Manetas???
???This is a conversation. Its between me and you. At any point, when you have something to say, please pause this video and record your message. Then post it on YouTube and send me the link so I can reply to you???.
???I want to give a theme to our conversation. That theme is our new life. Its a complex theme, it has to do with our intelligent machines. That's what I call Existential Computing, it has to do with our perception of reality???.
???There's new information today about reality. According to many scientists, we live in a Multiverse. There are many versions of ourself, each of them inhabiting a parallel word. Also, according to a few but quite respected scientists, time doesn't flow. Everything that is possible, has already happened somewhere and what we perceive as change, its some kind of illusion???.
???Until yesterday, such ideas were esoteric but today, it is the observation of the World that tell us so. Therefore, we should start thinking differently, start living our life differently. Maybe we need to modify our language, maybe we need new words to say to ourself that what's now happening, is also not happening. That there is an instant person of me who is recording this message and there is another who doesn't. And that I am both of them and many other too???.
???Maybe your questions- or my answers- will be inspiring. Remember, that in another universe, its YOU the one who initiated this conversation???.

I lost my grip on the rock, and I started going down on my back, slowly for two seconds, and accelerating immediately after. I remember everything, the whole timeline. My memory has kept every detail enveloped and timestamped. One-Two-Three-Four! I remember that for these first four seconds, I was simply mad with disbelief. I was upset with my destiny, annoyed that it was letting down my crazy plan of arriving at the beach by descending the impossible surface of a very steep rock. Five! By the fifth second, I was already falling very fast. Six-Seven- Eight! I could see only the void at the edge of the rock about thirty meters away, and I knew that I was about to die. Read more

“There is a fundamental error in painting-in every school of painting: we always paint on a plane that's different from the plane of reality. We either paint on a canvas or on some other support positioned in parallel or in front of the world, we never paint over the reality itself, we never ???paint reality???. ???That was to change for me when - back in 2010 - I had an accident: I went down 117 meters from the top of a rock on my back, a little tree finally saving my life... After a month of immobility in the hospital, I returned to the place where I had the accident and I rented a little yellow house. Waiting to recover completely, I had my colors and canvasses brought there but I couldn't paint: regular painting just didn't seamed a good idea anymore. Finally one day, I took a brush and without any color on it, I started ???painting??? over the landscape. was making an invisible painting... ?ía few days after my discovery, I start filming whatever it was I was painting with my BlackBerry (my right hand the hand of the painter, the left the hand of a videomaker).

The Island of Internet & BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer, an exhibition series created by Rafael Rozendaal) The artists are invited to bring their own machines and projecting on any space that they can grab. Its a desperate attempt to open a few windows of fantasy and creativity over a heavily nested "real space". BYOB is one of the few original expressions-even if its somewhat of a grimace- that are still possible to be achieved with visual arts.

After having sailed together with the PirateBay in 2009 and after having conquered the island of San Servolo in 2011, the "Internet Pavilion" is now based in the old Oratory of San Ludovico, a holy church from the XVI Century. On the bare walls of the little Chapel, Miltos Manetas realizes a cycle of oil paintings inspired by the devotional paint work of the Venetian Renaissance. However, if Vittore Carpaccio - for example - in the Scuola di San Giorgi has glorified the gestures of St. George who killed the dragon, the Greek artist chooses a totally different kind of holy protectors for his Church. Patron saints of the Internet Pavilion are in fact the Unconnected: those people who indeed still live without an email or social network account, miraculously immune from internet dependency.
In an age like ours, where the border between real and virtual has collapsed, the digital Unconnected seem like real monks or holy men who ??? voluntarily or not ??? are detached from the world through an ascetic practice, being free from the chaotic flow of images and information. To show them how life works in the era of smart phones, between 2.0 vices and multimedia paradises, there is a ???Tintoretto style??? painting by Miltos Manetas, portraying the postures and behavior of those who come in contact with the web. Astonished looks, fixed on small mobile phone screens, or the expression of thinkers filmed by the laptops webcams, animate paintings of various sizes which, set up in a sacred space, recall both the polyptychs or the altar pieces as much as the opened tabs on a computer desktop.
To know who the Unconnected really are is not easy. For this reason the power of the network has been challenged. A recruiting campaign has been launched on Facebook during the 2 months preceding the opening of the Biennial. The social network users have been asked whether they knew people who weren't online and requested to advise the Internet Pavilion staff about their first names and surnames. Quickly a series of identities from various profiles was formed: from the parents of very popular bloggers to famous singers and showmen. Among the Unconnected there are, for example, Luigi Ontani and Enzo Cucchi, two of the most well known Italian artists, or Donald Knuth, computer technician and emeritus professor of the Stanford University, who at a certain stage of his life decided to repudiate Internet.
The list is clearly still incomplete. In order to evoke the spirit of the Unconnected inside the pavilion, some participants will act in the exhibition space on the opening day and in the following months. Particularly the bharatanatyam dance expert Marianna Biadene and the computer engineer Pasquale Fedele, who specialize in neuron interfaces. The borderline meeting between contemporary dance, ritual and brain control, under the sign of painting, will give life to a lyrical moment, unique and one-off, which will distance the audience from the expository bulimia typical of the Biennale to be transported to a contemplative dimension of inner peace.
The multiform results of the III Internet Pavilion are collected in the exhibition's catalog. The publishing is a special edition of Solo, the monographic magazine edited by AcM Collezione Coppola: a precious element to decode the history and the symbols of this Internet Pavilion 2013.
The research of and about the Unconnected will then continue in unpredictable ways thanks to the collaboration with Nero Magazine.

“05:05" was a five minutes show that opened on 05:05 AM on "a beautiful road" in Sabina on July 30th, 2016. The show lasted about 55 minutes presenting the work of 5 artists: Alessandro Giann?? , Joseph Kosuth, Miltos Manetas, Valentina Nascimben & Nora Renaud. Each work was visible for about 5 minutes. The show closed down at 06:06 AM. 6 cars were used to access the "beautiful road". The first car was carrying the artists that-in alphabetical order- had to pick a spot and install their work in a zone of 555 meters around the point where the "beautiful road" meets the river. The last car was carrying movie directors Emiliano Montanari & Gerdi Petanaj filming the event from a distance and collecting the works. At 5:55 AM, a 6 minutes ceremony was performed at the Agriturismo Paradiso before the closing of the show at 06:06AM.

“When in 2000, Gallery Analix (Geneva) asked me to do a new show with them, "Pok??mon Stadium" had just launched for Nintendo 64. Pok??mon's presence was for me some short of Manifesto and so I decide to make a Pok??mon exhibition. I re-drawn and printed a number of Pokemon and then enlarged them using my Vibracolour on Super-glossy paper technique. In Geneva, Pok??mon were met by the art world with total indifference, even embarrassment.
Pokemon Again
Who or better "what" was writing that "Manifesto" and what was stated on it wasn't completely clear back then. To me, it seamed written directly from "the computer world" and as with a few other "special" videogames like "Doom" & "SuperMario", its message was somehow existential. Now, 16 years later, in a world where our computer is no more kept "by the hand" -as with a PlayStation controller- neither it seats on our lap as with a laptop, now that its glued on our palm (a tablet) and has become a third-palm for us (instead of a third-eye), it all makes sense..

We agreed to meet on Skype and discuss my participation but once I arrived in Greece I was catapulted into the Greek Summer of NO and I forgot everything else.. So the Berlin Biennial forgot me and I forgot it too until May 29th of 2016, just a few days before the opening of the exhibition that a friend told me he was going to Berlin. "I am part of this show"-I told him- "wait, I am not!".. Suddenly thinking I maybe missing something important, I looked online and noticed that the subject of this Biennial was exactly the issue that interests me the most: "our strange new life". So I decide to participate anyway... That same day, I sit on my computer and "sucked" everything from BB9's official website . Somehow magically learning how to modify it, I start re-creating the Berlin Biennial at Biennale.net by adding the content that -I believe- was missing.. I also start looking the Biennale online, at its […]” Instagram and Facebook and start remaking them at Instagram and Facebook . Following the tag #berlinbiennale , I discover that this exhibition was new Century's most interesting exhibition of its kind. But to become crystal-clear, my contribution was needed so I start "painting" it online, using my "Painting with Likes" technique that I invented on the spot.

" MAXXI dedicates a focus exhibition to the artist that between social networks, selfie, fashion and Google Street View explores the imaginary of the contemporary age. For his solo show at MAXXI, Miltos Manetas (Athens, 1964) brings together with large canvases a world populated by selfies, a reality observed by Facebook, pornographic images next to fashion, the streets of the whole world he recorded by Google. A painter, conceptual and theoretical artist, recognized at international level for his internet-based works and for having founded in 2009 the first Internet Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, Miltos tells about the emotions and the imaginary of our contemporary era."
