Floating in the Ether, the artist’s imagination occasionally has no choice: it must ground itself in reality. But what is reality in a world where an individual’s perception, consciousness, awareness and overall sensibility is constantly being challenged by the “datafication” of experience? Once upon a time, artists may have had the luxury of intentionally isolating themselves from the revolution of everyday life. This is no longer possible. In fact, as aspirational and critical media artists, MALK (featuring Mark Amerika and Laura Hyunjhee Kim) aims to create artworks that embrace 21st century media as transformational composition and distribution tools for their digital art work while simultaneously intervening in the technical environment of global capitalism and its analytically-driven, market-manipulated big data environment. |

A hyperimprovisational realtime documentation of the artist as the semblance of an auto-affective event constructing on-the-fly stories composed in asynchronous realtime and through various theoretical and performative filters. Remixing Persona: An Imaginary Digital Media Object from the Onto-Tales of the Digital Afterlife is a visual manifesto that doubles as a theoretical e-reader, one that the artists collaboratively generate by deploying parallel processes of persona-building, performance-thinking, and applied remixology. Both artists, individually and as a performance duo, bring their own unique experiences and ontologically filtered “ways of remixing” to their intermedia practice and pseudo-autobiographical inquiries. |
