the pace this year at the Miami art fairs is a bit slower than usual. But there are still a few
projects relevant to the art and technology field, see below. /p li piHome Movies/i by Jim Campbell
at the a href="http://www.aquaartmiami.com"Aqua Art Miami/a /p p This piece, iHome Movies/i, was
exhibited earlier this year at the Berkeley Art Museum, in honor of their acquisition of the work.
For Aqua Art Miami, Hosfelt Gallery presents this floor-to-ceiling wall of LEDs, whose flickering
lights derive from Campbell's own personal collection of home movies, processed to single bytes of

environment at Art Basel Miami Beach's Art Positions /a/p pFirst, there's beach. Then there's ULTRA
beach. ULTRA environment, the lounge for Art Basel's annual project "Art Positions" on Miami Beach,
will be transformed into "undulating waves, extrusions, and futuristic furniture all awash in a bed
of soothing psychedelic sound, light, and video." This immersive environment, co-produced by Art
Radio WPS1.org, contains video projections, live radio broadcasts, and a surround-sound audio
system embedded into the architecture of the lounge itself (designed by Federico Diaz and E-Area).
Sounds like a seriously next level lounge experience to me! /p pThe lounge will also host a series
of performances, one of which will be Christian Jankowski's iAbove All I'm an Artlover/i. Scheduled
for tomorrow evening at 8pm, it will expand upon his a href="http://blip.tv/file/999106/"iArt
Market TV/i/a, which was essentially a QVC-style shopping network for selling art. Translating this
format to stage, the performance promises to consider "both the art fair context and America's love
of shopping to create a play on the spectacle of commerce." /p /lili pa
href="http://www.cifo.org/""The Prisoner's Dilemma: How Artists Respond to the Exercise of Power in
Contemporary Life at the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation/a/p pThis exhibition, which opens this
week and runs until early March of next year, curated by Leanne Mella, is assembled from the
private collection of Ella Fontanals-Cisneros and looks at how artists articulate the exercise of
power, specifically in mediums responsive to the "corporatized film industry." In comparison to
most shows curated from private collections, the point of entry here seems more persuasive than
most. Artists include Alexander Apóstol, Judith Barry, Paolo Canevari, Stan Douglas, Jimmie
Durham, Cao Fei, Regina Galindo, Carlos Garaicoa, Thomas Hirschhorn, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger,
Daniel Martinez, Carlos Motta, Shirin Neshat, Julian Rosefeldt, and Eve Sussman. /p pFor readers
