New York-based artist Cory Arcangel (born 1978) is a leading exponent of technology-based art, drawn to video games and software for their ability to rapidly formulate new communities and traditions and, equally, their speed of obsolescence. His work bridges the highbrow and the lowbrow, popular culture and art. With All The Small Things, Arcangel presents media and cultural references that are widely accessible and known to the masses, in novel and unorthodox ways. Arcangel is a firm believer in making his work available and freely shares many of his video and code-based works on the Internet. His practice has gained him an immense online presence and following that is both independent of and outside the mainstream fine art world. This first comprehensive monograph was designed in close cooperation with the artist.

Als originärer Raum der Kunst erweitert sich zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts mittels neuer Technologien der imaginäre Raum. Im permanenten Wechselspiel durchdringt und formt das Imaginäre die Realität. Mehr und mehr gewinnt das imaginäre Potenzial des Bildes an Bedeutung. Der Begriff des image bezeichnet diesen Prozess. Die in der Ausstellung gezeigten Arbeiten untersuchen das Bild im Moment seiner grundsätzlichen Neubestimmung. Durch die Veränderungen in Genese, Distribution, Funktion und Auftrag des Bildes wird das Bild selbst Ausgangspunkt wie Gegenstand künstlerischer Auseinandersetzung. Permanenter Transformation und freier Zirkulation der Bilder setzen die Künstler der Ausstellung ein konzentriertes Innehalten entgegen. Jenseits von Fragen nach Materialität werden vorhandene Bilder neu formatiert. Mittels rhythmischer Verzögerung werden die Bilder auf ihr imaginäres Potenzial und ihre Rückkopplung an das Reale untersucht. Losgelöst von Hierarchien sind die Bilder gleich, austauschbar und ortlos, sie sind allein Medium der Reflexion. Text: Alex Kitnick, Susanne Pfeffer, Seth Price, D.N. Rodowick
