The Eternal Internet Brotherhood 2013, Xilitla, Mexico (Remix)
The Eternal Internet Brotherhood is a cooperative camp between artists, curators and writers. The 1st Eternal Internet Brotherhood took place on Anafi, an island located on the edge of the Cyclades, used in ancient times as an “interface” for mythological adventures. The 2nd Eternal Internet Brotherhood took place in April 2013 in Xilitla, Mexico. Among the participants were Hans Ulrich Obrist, Ceci Moss, Angelo Plessas, Jacinto Astiazarán, among others (a complete list of participants is available after the break).
Organizer Angelo Plessas describes the Eternal Internet Brotherhood as an experiment and a situation: “During the Eternal Internet Brothehood we all stay and work closely in a common mental and/or physical environment, and we organically create new concepts swarmed by data, dreams, feelings, knowledge, visions and sounds.”
The Eternal Internet Brotherhood 2013 was organized and curated by Angelo Plessas and Mirko de Lisi (assistant curator). Jacinto Astiazarán compiled in situ footage of the weeklong event with other participants’ online contributions, which consisted of audio recordings, texts, 3D models and website projects to create this video for VernissageTV.

Random International: Rain Room / Museum of Modern Art MoMA, New York
After its premiere at the Barbican Centre in London in October 2012, Random International’s Rain Room is now installed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Follow us inside: it’s raining, but you won’t get wet (promised).
Random International’s immersive environment Rain Room is a major component of the MoMA PS1 exhibition EXPO 1: New York. The installation is presented in the lot directly adjacent to The Museum of Modern Art. Simply put, Rain Room is a field of falling water that pauses wherever a human body is detected. Thus, Rain Room offers visitors the experience of controlling the rain. “The work invites visitors to explore the roles that science, technology, and human ingenuity can play in stabilizing our environment. Using digital technology, Rain Room creates a carefully choreographed downpour, simultaneously encouraging people to become performers on an unexpected stage and creating an intimate atmosphere of contemplation.” Watch also our video covering the presentation of Rain Room at The Curve, Barbican Center and our interview with the founders of Random International, Stuart Wood, Florian Ortkrass and Hannes Koch.
Random International’s Rain Room turned out to be a lot of fun for the visitors, but it’s also a very complex installation. It consists of injection moulded tiles, solenoid valves, pressure regulators, 3D tracking cameras, wooden frames, steel beams, a hydraulic management system, and a grated floor. The system is controlled by custom software.
Random International are known for their digital-based contemporary art. The London-based studio creates artworks and installations that explore behaviour and interaction.
