La obra ‘Kournikova’ critica las leyes de propiedad intelectual
Anna Kournikova, la Sirenita y Mowgly son algunos de los personajes reinterpretados con técnicas de 'sampleado', copia, apropiación y plagio

Año 2067, los diarios anuncian la muerte de la ex tenista y modelo Anna Kournikova eliminada con un potente rayo láser enviado desde un satélite, por haber sido erróneamente confundida con una imitación de sí misma.
El terrible incidente ha sido posible porque, según elucubra el artista estadounidense David Rice, en el futuro las estrellas como Kournikova, patentarán su aspecto físico y se protegerán de las copias a través de un sistema vía satélite capaz de identificar y eliminar los parecidos no autorizados.

Mit der geschlossenen Aussichtsplattform möchte Andújar eine Nicht- zugänglichkeit öffentlichen Wissens andeuten. „Die halbrunde Form der beiden Tische, die an den Buchstaben c erinnert, steht zum einen für community, zum anderen für copyright. Das sind die beiden Pole.“ Der Fußboden ist mit den Logos von Unter- nehmen bedruckt, die das nichtöffentliche, privatisierte Wissen repräsentieren. Dieses skulpturale Setting beherbergt Andujars Postcapital-Archiv. /// situated at the heart of the installation is a lofty structure that could be designated as a ‘tower of public knowledge’. by means of the observation deck, which is not accessible, andújar aims to insinuate inaccessibility to public knowledge. ‘the semicircular form of the two tables, reminiscent of the letter C, represents both community and copyright — the two poles’. the floor is printed with logos from companies representing non-public, privatised knowledge. this sculptural setting accommodates andújar’s Postcapital Archive.

New Ideas – Old Tricks
hARTware projekte, Dortmund, 11.5. – 1.7.2001
Die Fortschrittsgläubigkeit ist auf dem Höhepunkt angelangt. Allerorts wird von "global networking", von Konsortien, Fusionen, kultureller Integration und dem Zulassen von Differenz geredet. In Wahrheit wird jedoch nur zugelassen, was sich dem System anpasst, d.h. Sieg des Kapitalismus auf ganzer Linie. Der angeblich so überaus weltoffene Nebenschauplatz Kulturaustausch gleicht dabei viel zu oft einer exotistischen Freakshow. Das vielgepriesene Andere ist in Wahrheit bloß da gefragt, wo es gerade nicht anders ist. In der aktuellen Ausstellung "New Ideas – Old Tricks" der Dortmunder hARTware projekte gehen die Kuratoren Hans Christ und Iris Dressler dem neuen Heilsversprechen – der Globalisierung – nach und klären über ideologisch motivierte Lügen und verkrustete Strukturen auf. Aus diesem kultur- und gesellschaftskritischen Anspruch der Ausstellungsmacher leitet sich auch die Künstlerauswahl der Schau ab.

New possibilities create new unknowns. New unknowns create new possibilities. Generally speaking, the debate about the new technologies, and particularly as they bear on art, continue to cover a wide spectrum, from blindness and the most absolute rejection, to the most stupidly servile acceptance and total affirmation. To me it seems obvious that the practise of art will be changed by the impact of new technologies, as will every other aspect of society, although it is possible that some values will remain substantially unchanged. The spectator, the audience for which a work is intended, is today more accustomed than ever before to highly sophisticated representational techniques as used in advertising and by television, but above all by the transformation of media consumption habits arising from the spread of the internet and the systematic introduction of computers into the private sphere. No one can now escape from the profound changes being wrought by the so-called new technologies and the parallel impact being produced by globalisation on our societies, economies, cultures, and perceptions of our surroundings. Even so, I think that we have made rather a fetish of these new technologies, and I believe that -without taking apocalyptic positions of complete rejection-we must keep cool heads and pragmatic functionality when considering what is in store for us, and our scope for action and response to it all. Our attention to what we call new technologies should not be focused so much on the possibility of marvellous technological flights, but rather the battlefronts that are beginning to emerge in a society now immersed in a process of violent and fundamental change.
