About ANDERS WEBERG
Anders is an artist working in video, sound, new media and installations and he is primarily concerned with identity. The human body lies at the root of projects that formally and conceptually chart identity and its construction as a preamble to broaching matters of violence, genders, memory, loss or ideology in which personal experiences co-exists with references to popular culture, the media and consumerism. Specializing in digital technologies, he aims to mix genres and ways of expression to explore the potential of audio visual media.
He coined the term Peer-to-peer art or (p2p art) in 2006. Art made for – and only available on – the peer to peer networks. The original artwork is first shared by the artist until one other user has downloaded it. After that the artwork will be available for as long as other users share it. The original file and all the material used to create it are deleted by the artist. ”There’s no original”. The aesthetics of ephemerality.
Has exhibited at numerous art/film festivals, galleries, and museums internationally, including:
Museum of Modern Art 2011, Buenos Aires, Argentina. File Brazil 2007-2008-2011, São Paulo, Brazil; FutureEverything 2010, Manchester, UK; National Museum of Contemporary Art 2010, Athens, Greece; Beijing Contemporary Art Centre 2010, Beijing, China; Cape 09 Art Biennale, 2009, Cape Town, South Africa; Biennale of Sydney 2008, Sydney, Australia; National Museum, Szczecin, Poland; [10th] Japan Media Arts Festival, Tokyo, Japan; 13th Barcelona International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art,SONAR, Barcelona, Spain; Scope New York, US; Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC), Santa Fe, Argentina;Pocket Films , Centre Pompidou, Paris; Videoformes, Clermont – Ferrand, France and EMAF, European MediaArt Festival, Osnabrück, Germany.
“This selection of works is based on my artistic practise where the work is triggered by a self experienced emotion and then distorted radically in order to evoke moods or ideas.
The videos are very personal and close to me and for this exhibition the first video 05.10.38 that I did within this theme in 2005 have it’s internet premier.
Enjoy and welcome into my world of multilayered, overexposed and distorted emotions.” Anders Weberg
