Several years ago I was on a jury for a Networked art show…. While sifting through endless days of net.art sites I came across jimpunk’s “nowar.nogame.org” . How refreshing to sit back, feel out of control and to be driven along by the browser. Somewhere in the midst of the work was a section where […]
A Dual-Media Hybrid – 56kTV – bastard channel – the international online art project curated by xcult.org at the invitation of the Arts Council of Switzerland Pro Helvetia – … – Jimpunk’s furious choreography of sound and image, too, uses the floss of computer culture, setting Google dialogues, spam headers, pop-ups and typograph-ically constructed figures […]
ART-MEDIAS ET CARNETS DE BÂLE.Viper, le festival de vidéo et nouveaux médias, se tenait le week-end dernier en Suisse. 56k, une chaîne mi-télé, mi-Web avec sa série, son JT, son web-thriller… Par Marie LECHNER vendredi 26 novembre 2004 (Liberation – 06:00) www.56k-bastard.tv … Intrigue transpacifique. Certaines émissions se savourent comme des films. Le web-thriller chaotique […]
Part of a TV station’s repertoire are action movies, and part of a TV consumer’s behaviour is the zapping action. Parisian artist jimpunk’s action movie AcidMissile presents an aesthetics of picture-musicality, a dynamic montage of sound and image, which samples itself through news and entertainment programs’ clichés. From the Comic-Ego to the AsciiCode Warrior to […]
por Nilo Casares Con una anticipación que hace a su tÃtulo «Diario de un genio» superar la literatura para adentrarse en la verdad, Salvador Dalà bromeaba con el nombre Piet de Mondrian para hacerlo «nyet» (nada, en ruso) por proximidad fonética y apuntar que sus obras serÃan, en un futuro no muy lejano, obras cibernéticas […]
At first the web site www.jimpunk.com is not much to look at. A default-grey background with a rather unexciting table of contents is pretty much it, punctuated only by the simple jimpunk logo, a white-on-black line drawing of a guy with a little body and a big blocky head. You might notice some slowly lengthening […]
via http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=116 This is a soft bitter work that starts off as a quirky flow of red, green and white little pop up windows hopping about the desktop, and ends brimming with intensity and sadness. It is a re-make of Henri-Pierre Roche’s novel Jules et Jim: an obscure story made famous by Francois Truffaut’s 1962 […]
The word “network,” at least in a social sense, seems to have a connotation of closedness. Think of the term “networking” – it refers to making connections with people within a fairly tightly defined circuit. A network can be a “community” – and that’s a Good Thing. But it can also become a clique, sometimes […]
You can’t escape jimpunk. I tried, believe me: it was easy to be disillusioned with net.art, with so many new works showing up on the list-servs plunging so far into the morass of conceptualism that both the “net” and “network” properties that have always distinguished the medium seem to have submerged somewhere deep below the […]

The piece would automaticaly cycle through its content in the sequence it was designed. At some point it stops at a loop until interaction from the user is invoked. This interaction can either be […]

I’ve always found the browser art of Parisian net.artist jimpunk utterly stunning. His newest work, .-reverse.-flash-.-.back- arrived in my email box yesterday. Abstract. Intricate. Layered. Captivating. Art is a process of discovery, a practice of science, an exploration of medium. jimpunk’s work, to me, places nothing ON the medium; instead, it is sculpted from it. […]
