Dark Mountain Project Festival International Pavilion Llangollen Wales
‘uncivilisation’ installation by the artist Jaime Jackson - iNTERTEXT Project, rigid pvc, inkjet print, aerosol paint, 2010.
To accompany the Dark Mountain Project Festival at the International Pavilion Llangollen Wales. Text edited from the Dark Mountain manifesto written by Paul Kingsnorth and Dougald Hine.
‘These are precarious and unprecedented times. Our economies crumble, while beyond the chaos of markets, the ecological foundations of our way of living near collapse. Little that we have taken for granted is likely to come through this century intact.'
'We don’t believe that anyone – not politicians, not economists, not environmentalists, not writers – is really facing up to the scale of this. As a society, we are all still hooked on a vision of the future as an upgraded version of the present. Somehow, technology or political agreements or ethical shopping or mass protest are meant to save our civilisation from self-destruction.
It is time for new stories. The Dark Mountain Project intends to conjure into being new ways of seeing and writing about the world. We call this Uncivilisation.’
Paul Kingsnorth and Dougald Hine.

Today anyone can be a star. The famous, the infamous and the everyday Vlog webstars are here today and possibly gone tomorrow. Andy’s 15 minutes of fame now barely last 30 seconds and the YouTube phenomena creates instant fame to be quickly replaced by the next lunchtime sensation or overnight international viral hit by a 5 year old kid from Nebraska named Fred.
Through a process of performative appropriation and the over-sized projection of three simultaneous video streams on the gallery wall, Artists Meeting spins YouTube videos into triptychs using the unique features of You3b.com and the process of “digital wandering” or “drifting” through the parallel universe of public online video.
While formally simple, the effect of presenting videos normally consumed privately by individuals in this public setting creates an uncanny, unsettling and sometimes hilarious effect on the viewers through the looping sequences, overlapping sounds and beautifully awkward combinations of artworks created by amateur and professional video makers.
Artists Meeting is a New York based artists collective whose members come from a range of eclectic backgrounds. Since its official start in 2006, the collective has participated in the Conflux Art Festival in New York, the Dumbo Arts Festival in Brooklyn and a number of YouTube based Performance events at Postmasters Gallery and Monkeytown. http://www.artistsmeeting.org
You3b is a tool that allows users to make triptychs out of YouTube videos. An Eyebeam project conceived by Jeff Crouse, produced by Jeff Crouse and Andrew Mahon and designed and coded by Andrew Mahon. http://www.you3b.com.
