Tours (1997)
Concept
121 was one of the first workshop experiences whose objective was to create mini-pieces of net.art for the incipient www. In 1995, Telefónica launched Infovía, establishing the technological bases for connections in Spain. Antoni Abad, a pioneer in his approach to connecting networks, communication and art, directs this workshop with the aim of creating “the maximum of minimal temporary projects. Realizations that happen in time as if they were in a hurry. Lightning bolts, palindrome; dominoes […] Brief, resounding, minimal, immediate, concise, fleeting, round… suitable adjectives to describe the objectives of the workshop. Specifying as much as possible to conceive, produce and give media blows, dry and forceful.
Project
Within the workshop I developed the piece tours that showed a series of animated gifs with traffic signs that led to different screenshots of the city of Sabadell where the workshop was held. The piece has been lost in the evolution of the network itself. QUAM’97. .
