Another ArtistsMeeting YouTube Party
Triptych Party ll: A-List Cannibal Cage-match
In collaboration with You3b.com
May 16th, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (ONE NITE ONLY)
Postmasters Gallery , 459 West 19th Street, New York City, NY 10011
Today anyone can be a star. The famous, the infamous and the everyday Vlog webstars are here today and possibly gone tomorrow. Andy’s 15 minutes of fame now barely last 30 seconds and the YouTube phenomena creates instant fame to be quickly replaced by the next lunchtime sensation or overnight international viral hit by a 5 year old kid from Nebraska named Fred.
Through a process of performative appropriation and the over-sized projection of three simultaneous video streams on the gallery wall, Artists Meeting spins YouTube videos into triptychs using the unique features of You3b.com and the process of “digital wandering” or “drifting” through the parallel universe of public online video. While formally simple, the effect of presenting videos normally consumed privately by individuals in this public setting creates an uncanny, unsettling and sometimes hilarious effect on the viewers through the looping sequences, overlapping sounds and beautifully awkward combinations of artworks created by amateur and professional video makers.
Artists Meeting is a New York based artists collective whose members come from a range of eclectic backgrounds. Since its official start in 2006, the collective has participated in the Conflux Art Festival in New York, the Dumbo Arts Festival in Brooklyn and a number of YouTube based Performance events at Postmasters Gallery and Monkeytown. http://www.artistsmeeting.org
You3b is a tool that allows users to make triptychs out of YouTube videos. An Eyebeam project conceived by Jeff Crouse, produced by Jeff Crouse and Andrew Mahon and designed and coded by Andrew Mahon. http://www.you3b.com.
Complimentary drinks will be served. Feel free to BYBO.

Max Dorner and my images on German TV (ZDF)
On April 29th, Max Dorner was on the morning program "Volle Kanne" at the German tv station ZDF to promote his book "Lame Duck in New York". They talked about multiple sclerosis, his challenging trip to New York, and the city's pragmatic approaches to difference. They also mentioned my images and talked about Max' favorite photo in particular. Nice.
