AIDS-3D is a two-man team, composed of Daniel Keller and Nik Kosmas (both with a BFA in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago), currently living and working in Berlin. These two met in an art therapy class for troubled youths and have been wreaking havoc ever since⦠They produce all sorts of new media work, happenings, and much more, exploring social activism through communication technologies.”
Pretty wacky, weird stuff from these guys. Lots of light driven art along with the concept of showing technology in an archaic way. The best part is that they actually have demands, demands I agree with:
1. NO MORE DVD REGION CODES
2. FREE WIFI EVERYWHERE
3. RELEASE THE OWNER OF TV-LINKS.CO.UK FROM JAIL
4. STANDARDIZED INTERNATIONAL VOLTAGE
5. CHEAPER TEXT MESSAGING
6. BAN SIM-CARD LOCKED CELL PHONES
7. ALLOW SCREEN CAPTURE DURING DVD PLAYBACK IN MAC OSX
8. END THE NTSC/PAL COLD WAR
9. DECRIMINALIZE FILE SHARING
10. MORE BANDWIDTH!
