VOPOS, AN EXPERIMENT IN ARTS by 0100101110101101.org
 
Vopos is the latest 
      project by 0100101110101101.ORG. For years now the net.art duo is 
      working in the internet and is now enlarging its working radius to include 
      the three communication networks telephone, satellite and internet. Vopos 
      is an artistic experiment in the digital era. The duo defines its latest 
      work as telecommunication art and declares the latest technologies as 
      suitable tools for artistic creation, in a time when art has to face 
      changing paradigms. 
  From the beginning of 2002 GPS (global 
      positioning system) transmitters, which the artists are permanently 
      carrying, send their coordinates to the own website, always accessible to 
      the public. The data is transferred to city maps, so the current 
      whereabouts of the two artists are constantly visualised. Vopos is part of 
      a larger project called Glasnost, initiated in 2000 by 
      0100101110101101.ORG, it consists of the intention to produce the greatest 
      possible amount of data about individuals and to publish it in the 
      internet. 
  Joined with the artist collective epidemiC, 
      0100101110101101.ORG have launched a selfreproducing program, a computer 
      virus called ”biennale.py”, commissioned by the Slovenian pavilion at the 
      Biennale in Venice. In Frankfurt 01001001110101101.ORG is going to present 
      their latest project Vopos on occasion of Manifesta 4 and the exhibition I 
      love you on May 25, moreover they will take part at the expert discussion 
      about ”digital bohème” on May 23, at mak.frankfurt.
