south beach disco classics
by Antonio Mendoza
an online exhibition
http://www.artcart.de/gallery
artcart is pleased to announce the launch of south beach disco classics,
an online exhibition exploring the phenomenon of the digital assembled
fuzzy logic.
Exhibition curator Mario Hergueta states " Antonio is offering an
introduction to his private artistic forum for personal expression and
social investigation." He
adds "south beach disco classics is an autistic web galaxy full of
annoying hypnotic sensory overloaded information."
Antonio Mendoza, the son of Cuban exiles, was born in Miami, Florida. He
was raised in Madrid, Spain. In 1983 he received a degree in Semiotics
from
Brown University. In the fall of that year he moved to Los Angeles where
he hoped to land a job in the film industry. Instead, he landed on a
friend's couch
and decided that a career as an artist was more his calling. Many years
later, he still lives in L.A. with his wife, two children and five
working computers.
His art work ranges from classically inspired oil paintings to digital
collages, lenticular images, video projections and interactive web
pages. He has exhibited
digital and analog works galleries, festivals and museums in Los
Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Houston, Zurich, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe,
Sao Paulo, Seville
and Madrid. His work has been reviewed by Artforum, Newsweek, Los
Angeles Times, New York Post, Glue Magazine, Wired, Axcess Magazine, and
several other cyber magazines.
His two web sites, www.mayhem.net and www.subculture.com, combine his
dual interest in art and crime. Together they log over 40,000 page
impressions a
day. In the year 2000 he completed a true-crime book, "Killers on the
Loose," that has been published by Virgin Publishing. On his days off he
plays music
with the digital collective Mr. Tamale.
STATEMENT
In keeping with the end of intellectual property rights, my work has
been created using images, sounds and scripts pirated from magazines,
books, CDs, and corporate and pornographic web sites. my sites work like
meta-collages in which the hyperlinkage between pages acts as an active
element in its assembled logic.
subculture: the autistic web paradise, full of information but stuck in
annoyingly repetitive patterns. corporate logo sabotage. aversion
therapy as HTML code.
south beach disco classics: hard to navigate and as subtle as a ton of
bricks. simple and complicated, discouraging and enticing, organized and
chaotic, beautiful and ugly.
snowcrash: a digital epyleptic seizure. loud, retinal, and disturbing,
with data behaving in ways they shouldn't be behaving.
lara.worm.anime: hypnotic sensory overload. a psychosexual surrealist
collage machine. the chance meeting between anna kornikova and lara
croft anime on the dissecting table.
creepy people: home of the musical semi-abstraction. computer code as
the new paradigm. recycle spam turned into retinal damage.
sex.sit: a peek into the unknown. data-panic gone amok.
keywords: sex, chaos, appropriation, collage, piracy, virus worship,
anti-copyright, browser abuse, corporate logo sabotage, disinformation,
spam art, GUI crash, web on crack, better living through hacking, how
the web was won.
warning: the section of this web site you are about to enter contains
content that include images of nudity, adults engaged in explicit
heterosexual and/or homosexual acts, offensive language or sexual
innuendo. You may not enter this site if, you are under the age of 18

any of the above mentioned content or material in your country, province
state or if prohibited by your community.
