Johannes P. Osterhoff http://rhizome.org/profile.php?1067554
My last artist post is from www.rhizome.org and is probably the one that I have found the most enjoyable. Johannes P Osterhoff is an artist out of Berlin, Germany, who focuses on work with interfaces. This is a new spin on digital work because it works it a different way. Johannes creates life size “icons” and buttons that he finds aesthetically pleasing and then creates a real life art piece out of it. One of these pieces, for example, is the “submit button” which we are all familiar with but he replicates it in such a large size that you think of a different meaning of the word.
The most interesting piece that I found was a video called “windows real” in which people move around in a field holding large scale icons, recreating the default setting for windows. In the piece, he describes different actions you can do on the computer and then acts them out. The piece is rather humorous but also quite intelligent. The idea is outside of the box which lends it more credit than a typical youtube video.
I like the way that he is challenging the viewer to experience the usual stimulus in a completely different way. They did such a nice job collaborating to make the piece identical to Windows which takes a good bit of precision. I get a sense of a comment on the newer processing systems and the struggle to still ground your digital art in something more tangible.
