Tonight in Berlin: Sneak Preview Of Top Secret Add-On

speed-show-vol1-3-500x3331

Hey! We’ve been secretly working on a new + super-fun Add-on. It’s still in early alpha, so we won’t really publicize it or talk about it online yet. Nevertheless our friend and curator Aram Bartholl talked us into sneak-previewing it tonight in his new “Speed Show” format.

It’s quite an awesome concept, he curates cool online-based art work and exhibits it in an “internet café”, which he rents out entirely for the night of the show. Art in an internet café? Maxium culture clash ;) Many more Speed-Shows to come! Tonight’s topic is “TELE INTERNET – Pop.Net.Art” featuring some of TBX’s favourite artists and friends.

So if you like to see what the Artzilla Crew has been secretly working on, and what will be closed-beta in hopefully 3 months, than you should come here tonight:

Friday 11th of June 2010, 21:00 – 00:00
Kottbusser Damm 103, Berlin (G-maps)
