Time + Venue >>
Ursula Endlicher's work resides on the intersection
of Internet, performance and multi-media installation. Since 1994
the Internet has an impact on her practice where she bridges the
Web and physical reality. Her focus lies in analyzing the social,
political and structural components of the Web while translating
its hidden architectures and languages – such as HTML –
into choreography for performances, into layouts for visualizations,
installations or objects, or into notation for music.
Endlicher's recent projects include Website Impersonations:
The Ten Most Visited (2006-09), a ten-part Live/Web performance
series that utilizes Web Code as choreography. This series as
well as the project html_butoh, a web-based participatory
performance commissioned by Turbulence.org in 2006, are built
on the html-movement-library, a database for small video clips
enacting the html language through movement. She created Website
Impersonations: The Amazons (.at versus .com), an interactive
multi-media installation with real-time web-feed navigable via
the "mouse-chair" for which she received a production
grant by the Austrian Cultural Forum NY in 2006. A presentation
of her web works including Famous For One Spam was commissioned
by the Whitney Museum’s artport in 2004. Web Performer
1.0 was among the first net art works included into Rhizome's
ArtBase in 1999. She produced her very first piece for the Internet
– Left/Right – for The Thing Vienna BBS in
1994.
Most recently she showed her work at LABfactory, Vienna, Austria;
Theater am Neumarkt, Zürich, Switzerland; Dana Charkasi Gallery,
Vienna, Austria; Quartier21/Museumsquartier, Vienna, Austria;
BM-Suma Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul, Turkey; Woodstreet
Galleries, Pittsburgh; Upgrade! Berlin, Germany, and at Artists
Space in New York. She participated in the Performance Mix Festival
at the LMCC Swing Space@Seaport, New York, and at the MULTIPLACE
network culture festival in Slovakia. Her work is included in
the ursula blicke videoarchiv at Kunsthalle Wien, and has been
featured on Furtherfield.org
Together with Ela Kagel she runs the blog Curating net art
discussing art on the Web and the questions of its curation online
and in “physical” space. She has lectured about her
work in the US and in Europe, and has been contributing to several
international publications about net art, performance and interactivity.
Born in Vienna, Austria, she lives and works in New York since
1993.
