new works 05: source code images
avebury/kournik..1 avebury/kournikova2 avebury/kournikova3 GlobalFree state.buffer
The series avebury/kournikova combines digitally reworked photographs with source code from the Kournikova virus. The resulting images are digitally altered with a series of algorithms to imitate brushstrokes; then printed on canvas and stretched. GlobalFree state.buffer combines a photograph of part of a sufi (Bektashi) monastery in Tetovo, Macedonia with source code from the MyDoom virus.
More examples of the source code series can be found on my website at this link

"Melissa is the first combination Word macro virus and worm to use the Outlook and Outlook Express address book to send itself to others via E-mail. "

Source code from the Melissa virus is placed over a digitally altered photograph of the Ottoman bridge of Visegrad, Bosnia, famously described in Ivo Andric's novel Bridge on the River Drina, suggesting a somewhat darker side to the bridge as an architectural and/or communicative element.
The text here is a fragment from the javascript code for a rollover or mouseover.

the EMPIRE series, 2003
This series explores the `time resistance’ of three media: photography, painting and television. The immediate subject of the series is the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March/April 2003. The images are photographs taken of BBC broadcasts during the war. The inclusion of the TV screen, as well as the BBC logo, remind the viewer that she is watching a (historical) event indirectly. This is very much what the Canadian writer Michael Ignatieff referred to during the earlier (first) gulf war as the TV or `virtual war’. The viewer often has access to events in real time, although in an often sanitised and always virtual form.
By the use of digital filters the images have been altered so as to appear like paintings. They have `virtual’ paint strokes, and are printed on canvas. They are in effect photographs of TV images masquerading as counterfeit paintings. As such they point to photography’s intermediate and mediating role between the ephemeral character of television images and the eternal aspect of history painting.

the kasimir series: a new net.art piece by Christian de Lutz
Among the urban myths that have predominated since 9-11 is the belief that Al-Qaeda hid secret messages in data, which they then sent over the net. As far as I know this is only a myth. Yet it dovetails with all the 'chatter' about encryption, hacking and the famed 'echelon' intelligence gathering system. In my kasimir series I have taken up this conceit. I have hidden two secret messages in two HTML files, masquerading as abstract images. One is a quick note to Denisa Kera. The second is a letter to Yuri Albert, describing my experiences taking part in his performance in Berlin in January 2004.
Should anyone fail to find the message I have enclosed a 'note' to the piece. All three pages can be accessed through my net.art portal http://net.cdelutz.net

il paradiso: the flight to/ from tuzla
an audiovisual installation
In summer 1995 a young woman from Tuzla narrates her flight from war torn Bosnia three years earlier. She recounts her journey from war to sanctuary in a white marble city on the Adriatic coast.
At the same time that she is telling her story, 15 000 men from the town of Srebrenica
in Eastern Bosnia are fleeing the Bosnian Serb Army, hoping to reach the city of Tuzla. Less than half will survive.
9 Months later, investigators from The Hague based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and assorted journalists visit the hillside near the hamlet of Kamenica where more than 70 men and boys from Srebrenica died on 12 July, 1995.
The Flight from/ to Tuzla is the first of three projected multimedia installations on the theme of nationalism, media and the break-up of the former Yugoslavia by Christian de Lutz, a New York born artist, who during the 1990s worked as a photographer and journalist in Eastern Europe. He is now based in Berlin.
