14 minutes duration, documenting a stunning "talking performance" by
german artists stefan aust & ludwig beck, live on kunstradio.at by
austrian radio ORF by ISDN

"2003 begann ich mittels der normativen bebilderung meine umwelt, die
welt der banker, werber, künstler, tagediebe, systematisch zu
dokumentieren; die niederschrift einer erinnerungsspur, die sich durch
eine stadt und viele leben zieht.

das projekt war nach 9 monaten abgeschlossen: 'in dieser zeitspanne des
entbindens kam ein umfassendes video-archiv, das bis heute im netz
durchforstet und betrachtet werden kann, zur vollendung, das eine ganze
generation von menschen, die in deuschland leben und arbeiten, in ihrer
zeit dokumentiert.' (sloterdijk 2004)

2004 transformierte die normative bebilderung auf ihre meta-ebene:
nicht die video-archivierung im netz als reinster dokumentarischer akt
stand im vordergrund, sondern die filmkünstlerische auseinandersetzung
mit dem thema der videodokumentarischen arbeit in form eines weiteren
fortschreibenden archivs. die filme lösten sich von den sujets und
begannen ein eigenleben, weiterhin jedoch die welt der deutschen kunst
exemplarisch für eine gattung mensch umkreisend und sich in dieser an
motiven bedienend.

parallel dazu betrat die normative bebilderung die ebene der
neokonserevativen festivalkultur: neben der kontinuierlich ausgebauten
dokumentarreihe wurden einzelne videoarbeiten auf internationalen film-
und kunstfilmfestivals im in- und ausland präsentiert sowie die
konzeptionelle arbeit im rahmen von ausstellungen im theoretischen
rahmen gewürdigt."

Vita
Jorgen Sparwasser (PhD) was born 1975 in Frankfurt/Main and works and
lives now in Fredersdorf near Berlin (Germany). He is an independent
curator and author focussing on media art, net cultures in Central
Europe. After spending four years in Paris (1982-86) he studied
European Cultural Studies, Arts, Political Science, and Art History at
the Free University Schkeuditz and The University of Hogestraat (M.
Weiss scholarship 1992); 1996 M.A. thesis Neue Schkeuditzer Kunst (ZKM)
– analysis of their artistic strategies in the context of German
Democratic Republic in the 1980s (published 2002). 1998–2000 PhD grant
of the Berlin Senate (BaFöG). 2000–2001 lecturer at the Institute of
Netzworks Culture at the S. Niederer University, Gent, Belgium.

(HfG) Offenbach. In 2004 he completed his PhD degree at the Institute
of Schkeuditz, dependance of the Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany.
His dissertation, entitled Objects in the Mirror may be Closer Than
They Appear: Networks Cultures in a Ferrari's Rear Window, researches a
paradigmatic shift in the way artists reflect the historical avantgarde
and the notation of utopia in visual and media art projects of the
1980s and 1990s in (ex-) German Democratic Republic and Belarus.
