Manetas

Miltos Manetas è un pittore di origine greca, artista concettuale e teorico il cui lavoro esplora la rappresentazione e l'estetica della società dell'informazione. Manetas è il fondatore del movimento artistico NEEN (il primo movimento artistico del 21 secolo), un pioniere di MACHINIMA e un istigatore di Internet Art.
Nel 2000, Manetas ha presentato NEEN alla Galleria Gagosian di New York.
Nel 2009, La Biennale di Venezia ha invitato Manetas di dare vita al suo primo Padiglione Internet
Nel 2011, il museo MACRO di Roma ha commissionato a Manetas un electronicOrphanage
Nel 2014, in collaborazione con l' Instituto Svizzero di Roma, Manetas ha introdotto il concetto del ÑEWPRESSIONISMO.
Secondo LEV MANOVICH, il lavoro di Manetas è collocato all'interno di una tradizione consolidata nella pittura moderna (‘…rappresenta le persone moderne nei loro particolari ambienti moderni). Secondo NICOLAS BOURRIAUD il lavoro di Manetas fa parte del Arte Relazionale e di POST-PRODUCTION

Nel 2018, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi ha curato al MAXXI di Roma, "Le Pitture Internet", la più importante finora esposizione personale di Manetas a livello istituzionale.
CV / Biografia

Oggi sono l' artista 4182

Secondo gli analisti di Artfacts.net Andy Warhol è numero 1, Pablo Picasso #2. Dopo loro, c'e il resto di noi, Nel 2001, ero il 528 artista del mondo. Poi ho lasciato NY- mi sono spostato a Los Angeles- e ho cominciato cadere... Dopo una dura caduta, sono arrivato molto basso, ho perfino oltrepassato la terribile soglia del 5000.. Oggi sto andando su di nuovo, sono il numero #4182

Si lavora con Soprarealtà e col NeoUmile

  • Soprarealtà/Neoumile

Soprarealtà

Soprarealtà è una maniera di utilizzare la tecnologia dei nostri telefonini in maniera artigianale. Utilizando applicazioni che proiettano un imagine sopra quel che si vede, si "porta" un concetto o una persona la dove uno vuole. Cosi, quando questo concetto-o la persona- finalmente viene, in realta sta solo "ritornando".

NeoUmile

NeoUmile è una tecnica e attitudine introdotta da Nora Renaud, artista Svizzera che vive in Colombia. Il termine è stato coniato da Massimo Sterpi- un avvocato collezionista che vive a Roma. NeoUmile per quel che succede quando gente privilegiata come noi inventa e utilizza una certa “patina-povera” per fare che il proprio operato non sembra più così terribilmente pretenzioso. Questo vale anche per oggetti e beni quotidiani, I nostri automobili, appartamenti, vestiti etc. Oggi è tutto cromato in maniera esasperante.

spirito convocatore

Yanis Varoufakis è un spirito convocatore, gli “spiriti convocatori” -dice Renato Vivaldi- sono persone che attorno a loro esiste un certo hinterland, un spazio che ha una sola funzione: serve semplicemente per convocare! Yanis Varoufakis usa la sua energia positiva per portare la Democrazia in Europa entro il 2025.

PRIMI GIORNI
a Roma e Milano

EDUCAZIONE IN ITALIA

Nel 1985 ho lasciato Atene. La scuola d'arte non mi accetterebbe. "Non sprecare il tuo tempo, non hai talento" disse uno dei professori, Tetsiscredo fosse il suo nome o Kokkinidiso forse era Yiannis Moralis che 40 anni prima, alla vigilia della sua carriera di insegnante, aveva respinto Jannis Kounellis: "Non provare Jannis, non hai talento"

Albero 3D a Brera

Nel 1986 ho realizzato un'installazione di alberi in 3D a Brera (la scuola d'arte di Milano) e ho chiesto alla mia ragazza di recitarci.

1986, Milan

Ho anche realizzato un disegno con un albero triste.

NAVI IN COMPENSATO, "VEICOLI DI IDENTITÀ"

Terminato la scuola d'arte, cercai di fare qualcosa che era lontano da tutti i miei riferimenti, qualcosa che sembrase "vecchio". Un giorno ho visto un amico tagliare un compensato e mi sono stupito di quanto fosse facile tagliarlo. Ho comprato dei grandi fogli di compensato e una sega Bosch. Quando il legno è arrivato, sembrava pezzi di marmo e ho pensato I gli Lekythos, I vasi funerari marmoreil che avevo visto nel Museo Nazionale in Grecia .Ne ho disegnato uno e poi l'ho tagliato nel compensato, sono poi diventato ossessionato e ho iniziato a crearne diversi. A quei tempi viaggiavo con autostop da Milano a tutta l'Europa. A volte facevo viaggi piuttosto brevi, da Berlino o a Parigi per un giorno per vedere una mostra e tornare poi indietro... Il mio viaggio partiva da una stazione di servizio situato nella tangenziale di Milano, un centinaio di metri della stazione della Metro di Cascina Gobba. In quei viaggi, mi hanno cominciato interessare le isole di "verde perduto" che circondavano la tangenziale e le autostrade. Per me, quello sembrava il miglior museo, ci mancavano solamente le opere d'arte .. Ho iniziato allora a portare i miei vasi lì e ad installarli in quei spazi. Era sempre una bella sensazione tornare a Milano e trovarli ancora dove gli avevo lasciati...

LA MIA PRIMA MOSTRA INDIVIDUALE

Terminando scuola d'arte, guardai intorno a me. Persone d'arte in tutto il mondo, artisti, collezionisti, galleristi, scrittori d'arte, fotografi ... Ho pensato di iniziare da loro. Ho trovato un modo di conoscerli e allo stesso tempo di produrre un lavoro dal nostro incontro, dai loro volti. I loro profili per essere precisi ... Li contattavo e gli chiedevo di posare per una foto di profilo. Poi disegnavo ogni profilo su un pezzo di compensato, tagliandolo, incurvando il nome della persona e poi installandolo in ordine alfabetico nella galleria. Era una specie di performance, la construzione di un network sociale, un primitivo Facebook.

PRIMERAS MUESTRAS

EXITOSAMENTE CONTEMPORANEO

Esos fueron los años de las revistas de artes y post-NeoGeo: El arte era sobre muchas cosas similares que producían raros efectos psicológicos..Dakis Joannou, un entusiasta coleccionista griego estaba comprando todo y se había apasionado por mi trabajo. El amigo de Dakis, Jeffrey Deitch, estaba planeando POST HUMAN , una muy importante exposición y ellos buscaban incluir mi "51 Sillas y algunos anos". Desafortunadamente, yo estaba inspirado... Dakis dueño de un gran hotel, The Intercontinental. Sentí que era importante colocar un computador y un proyector allí. Nunca había visto un computador y mucho menos un proyector pero había leído acerca de ellos, así que le pregunte a Dakis si podría usar una de sus varias habitaciones del hotel para mi instalación. Viajaría por todo el mundo y enviaría fotografías, envíe imágenes de FedEx para cargarlas en la computadora y proyectarlas en la habitación del hotel. Cada vez que la puerta de la habitación se abría, una nueva y fresca imagen de el mundo haría aparición. Esto era una fantasia pro-Facebook_twitter. estaba orgulloso pensé en eso en 1990, pero Dakis dijo que no le gustaban las computadoras y que pasaba con mis Asshole Chairs (Sillas ano)? Finalmente ellos nunca me incluyeron en POST HUMAN, Jeffrey me remplazo con alguien de Japón que estaba haciendo algo similar a mis 51 Sillas y algunos anos

» En 1990 fundé Different Opinion para permitir que los artistas comenzaran a producir obras de arte que eran diferentes de lo que cada uno de nosotros hace

El concepto de "Demenza"

Demenza fue solo otra palabra que aprendi en Italia pero dejo una gran impresión en mi! Los italianos lo usan para nombrar una situación "loca", un "demente" es una persona que ha perdido su mente. También, se usa para alguien que es irónico en una manera que uno no entiende. ¿Es esta persona estúpida, enojada o su demenza indica algo que simplemente no podemos comprender? De repente, veía ciertas escenas cotidianas -no muchas, muy pocas- y sentía la presencia de Demenza. También pensé en Sócrates. Entonces, un día descubrí esto ... ...

DEMENZA EN NÁPOLES

estupidez, locura, ironía socrática

En la antigua comedia griega hay dos perros: Eirôn y Alazon. Eiron era un perdedor inteligente que con su ingenio triunfa repetidamente sobre el presumido personaje de Alazon. Según la Enciclopedia Británica, La ironía socrática de los diálogos platónicos deriva de este origen cómico. La palabra italiana "demenza", (Del latín demencia derivada de "demens"), se traduce en inglés a "locura". Creo que existe un cierto elemento performativo del mundo que puede expresarse con cierta locura. En ese sentido, "demenza" se traduciría mejor como "ironía", no la ironía de nuestros días sino la ironía socrática, una actitud que no solo se limita a la disimulación de la ignorancia sino que se convierte, de hecho, en una actuación.

»Demenza«

El concepto de ironía con referencia continua a Sócrates.

Como explica Søren Kierkegaard en su tesis doctoral, "El concepto de ironía con referencia continua a Sócrates". "Sócrates no solo usaba la ironía, sino que estaba tan dedicado a la ironía que él mismo sucumbió a ella". Eso era entonces, cuando el mundo estaba fresco. En nuestros días, tal "locura", no solo se realiza a menudo (especialmente en las artes y el espectáculo) pero, lo que es más importante, se ha convertido en un elemento de nuestro entorno. Encontramos "demenza" en nuestras ciudades, en Milán, Atenas, Berlín (donde tomé algunas de estas fotos) y, a veces, también lo encontramos en el campo.

TRAFFIC Introduction to Relational Aesthetics

Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud at CAPC, Musée d’art contemporain, Bordeaux

Relational Aesthetics

Relational art or relational aesthetics is a mode or tendency in fine art practice originally observed and highlighted by French art critic Nicolas Bourriaud. Bourriaud defined the approach as "a set of artistic practices which take as their theoretical and practical point of departure the whole of human relations and their social context, rather than an independent and private space." The artist can be more accurately viewed as the "catalyst" in relational art, rather than being at the centre.. One of the first attempts to analyze and categorize art from the 1990s, the idea of Relational Art was developed by Nicolas Bourriaud in 1998 in his book Esthétique relationnelle (Relational Aesthetics).The term was first used in 1996, in the catalog for the exhibition Traffic curated by Bourriaud at CAPC Musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux. Traffic included the artists that Bourriaud would continue to refer to throughout the 1990s, such as Henry Bond, Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Liam Gillick, Christine Hill, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Miltos Manetas, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno, and Rirkrit Tiravanija. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_art

"What shall I paint?" I asked Vanessa Beecroft- my partner of those days.. She had no idea either but she was reading a book about Andy Warhol. "here it says that Warhol also didn't know what to paint so he asked a friend of his. "What do you like the most?" the friend asked. "Money"-said Warhol. "so just paint money".. At that moment, what I liked most was computers so I decide to start painting them...

"LE CAPITAL" curated by Nicolas Bourriaud

“Miltos Manetas's paintings take as subjects the Internet and the power of computers, but use the features of physical objects situated in a domestic interior to allow us access to them. The current success of the market as a formal matrix among contemporary artists has to do with a desire to make commercial relations concrete once again, relations that the postmodern economy tends to make immaterial. And yet this immateriality itself is a fiction, Henochsberg suggests, insofar as what seems most abstract to us - high prices for raw materials or energy, say - are in reality the object of arbitrary negotiations. The work of art may thus consist of a formal arrangement that generates relationships between people, or be born of a social process; I have described this phenomenon as "relational aesthetics," whose main feature is to consider interhuman exchange an aesthetic object in and of itself.

IAMGONNACOPY

“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…

"OUR WEBSITES IS THE ART OF OUR DAYS"

WEBSITES
WEBSITES

Websites are today’s most radical and important art objects

“ Because the Internet is not just another “media”as the Old Media insists, but mostly a “space”, similar to the American Continent immediately after it was discovered – anything that can be found on the Web has a physical presence. It occupies real estate. “Things” in the Internet exist in a specific location, while in magazines and on TV, contents are mostly bullets of information. Online they constitute a body: they are parts of a new genre. They are Web Entities. They get in touch and advertise their existence to each other. Similar to human beings, they will evaluate, criticize, “link” to each other. Ultimately, these Web Entities develop a “taste”. Bob Dobbs (a friend of McLuhan) said that “advertising is communication between machines”. He also suggested that machines came alive in 1967 and that “now they are in an angelic state”. “Advertising is communication between Angels” he said..

Memoirs of the Devil

“ A show by Miltos Manetas at COSMIC GALLERY in Paris. Jan-Mar, 2004. The title of the show, is a homage to the book "Memoirs of the Devil" written by director Roger Vadim. Vadim was married to Bridgette Bardot, Jane Fonda and Catherine Deneuve. Entering the show: "Manifesto with 4 Women" , a remake of a work by Italian artist Alighiero Boetti. In 1969, Boetti made a poster about the artists of his generation. Each symbol on that poster was referring to a characteristic of each artist included. Collectors could buy the poster for a low price, however the "code" that would explain the piece was on sale for a very high price and if nobody purchased it before a certain date, it would be destroyed and the decryption would remain secret forever (and that's what happened). My collectors could buy the code of my poster too but it didn't happened either. So I hide the code somewhere online..

Workshop at the Hayward Gallery in London

searching for Existential Computing..

searching for Existential Computing

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..."

a total Neen Eclipse

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!«

Existential Computing

"A great idea"

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.

on YouTube..

“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”.

Falling in Conero

Falling in Conero

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

ENZO CUCCHI OSPITA MILTOS MANETAS

Ancona, 21 luglio 2010 - L'artista greco Miltos Manetas torna ad Ancona, dopo la disavventura che lo aveva visto protagonista ai primi di giugno, quando in un'escursione sul Conero fece una rovinosa caduta che gli costò un ricovero in ospedale. L'occasione per il ritorno è fornita dalla rassegna 'Incontro con l'autore', organizzata al Fortino Napoleonico di Portonovo. All'evento parteciperà con tre sculture inedite Enzo Cucchi, il maestro della Transavanguardia, che ha voluto al suo fianco, come ospite speciale, l'artista multimediale greco. ilrestodelcarlino.it

BlackBerry Paintings

“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... ”A 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). I was happy, a BlackBerry and a brush was now all I needed for a studio! That’s how the BLACKBERRY PAINTINGS were born and I decide to go on with my life and at the same time paint it.”

"BYOB-ISLAND OF THE NET"

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. Its the scream of our extended bodies, while trapped between computer keyboards and the unnatural light of the computer projectors.

"THE UNCONNECTED"

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. Produced by: Associazione E, AmC, Nuova Icona, Collezione Coppola Media partners: Gloria Maria Gallery, NERO, My Art Guide, Lightbox, UP3 Architetti Associati, Liquidweb, Drago Publishing.

"LOOKING AT THE INTERNET"

To understand this years Pavilion, I have to tell you first about the next one, the Pavilion I am planning for 2017. The theme will be TOGETHERNESS and that was actually the theme that I envisioned initially for 2015, but then I realized, that we are actually very far from TOGETHERNESS yet .. And when I say far, I mean we are far from even start thinking seriously about Togetherness: we are still at the stage of a-man-in-front-of-a-computer-screen, looking on what we call ”Internet”. So, I decide, to take a closer look to that “Internet” by making one or two videos per day, recording everything and recording myself and others as well, while we are "looking“.

"05:05" show in Sabina, Italy

“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 Gianní , 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.

in China, "Pokémon Again"

Davide Quadrio (乐大豆) and his team invited me in Shanghai, to perform a peculiar exhibition/presentation at Arthub Asia, re-enacting my Pokémon 2001 project using the latest Pokémon technology. Trapped into the half virtual/half real world that China is becoming, my work there end up with a 6000KLM train trip into Inner Mongolia Inner Mongolia . During this trip, I wrote "Three black chopsticks" and I start planning a quite-ambitious crazy large-scale operation in China. Stay tuned... “

15 years earlier

“When in 2000, Gallery Analix (Geneva) asked me to do a new show with them, "Pokémon Stadium" had just launched for Nintendo 64. Pokémon's presence was for me some short of Manifesto and so I decide to make a Pokémon exhibition. I re-drawn and printed a number of Pokemon and then enlarged them using my Vibracolour on Super-glossy paper technique. In Geneva, Pokémon were met by the art world with total indifference, even embarrassment.

In Shanghai..

Pokemon Again

in Geneva

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.. Pokémon and certain other videogame creatures were indeed a manifesto but it wasn't the generic "Computer World" promoting it, it was put forward instead by one of its more mysterious creations that was just coming of age: "Pokémon" was the Manifesto of the Animated Cartoon

9th Berlin Biennial

“ In Spring 2015, invited to participate at the 9th Berlin Biennial the online magazine DIS was curating, I agreed meeting two guys from DIS in Bogotá but in the beginning of June, on the same day we had arrange to meet, I had to fly to Europe so our encounter never happened. 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. As I am convinced that "Shows-that-matter-should-never-end", I think I'll keep working on this show forever...

" 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."
