"A new chapter of the legendary art collective unearths time capsules of their legacy"
A photo essay of the exhibition in Pioneer Works' now eponymous magazine - available here.
Edited by Liz Flyntz, David Everitt Howe. Foreword by Gabriel Florenz. Introduction by Liz Flyntz. Text by Constance M. Lewallen, Steve Seid, Gabriella Giannachi. Interview with members of LST by Rudolf Frieling. Book design by Daniel Kent.
Not exactly a catalog for the eponymous exhibition, The Present Is The Form of All Life: The Time Capsules of Ant Farm and LST includes even more archival content than the exhibition, plus images of the installation, and excerpts collected from the HUQQUH's photo gathering.
The special "artists edition" contains a small USB drive embedded in the cover that contains content from the most recent (and perhaps last?) iteration of the HUQQUH time capsule - thousands of smart phone pictures anonymously donated by Pioneer Works visitors. Impatient purchasers must destroy the cover to get to the time capsule.
Both editions available from DAP and from Pioneer Works Press.

Cirio’s work tends to be text- and data - intensive. He targets the biggest multinational corporations out there: Amazon, Facebook, Visa, Google Maps, Twitter.

I may use some contemporary media such as computer screens and scanners, but I'm not at all identified as a "new media artist". More than anything else I'm an internet friendly artist (and also: craftswoman, cavewoman, undiscovered-yet pop star and heartbroken artist). The internet has been good to me. This is the future, one doesn't need to make stuff on Photoshop to become a legitimized net artist. I like to make things with my hands, this is how I work…I think with my hands. I like limiting myself to a very 'stupid' medium like the pencil. I am also not a big fan of computers, though I do love the internet, and like many other artists, I want my work to be out there.
