We have Matthew Epler, initiator of the ReCode project (http://recodeproject.com/), for a Skype talk from NYC with us at DAM Gallery Frankfurt. (http://goo.gl/maps/zw5Ai) Matthew has set up a website to invite people to get to know and translate works by early digital artists like Manfred Mohr into the Processing (http://processing.org/) programming language based on scans from old "Computer Graphics and Art" magazines. (http://toplap.org/pdfs-of-computer-graphics-and-art/) Any work translated there receives an open source license and can be accessed and remixed through the website.

ReCode is an attempt to spread, analyse and preserve early artistic work of digital nature - an honourly intent, if there wasn't the ambigious relationship between originality and open access. Additionally, we will discuss if reverse engineering in this case is possible considering that we have just one possible artifact, the one software generated plotter print. Can this be a proper reconstruction of a whole computer artwork? Together with Wolf Lieser, gallerist of DAM, we will be discussing the position, possible scepticism and reluctance of artists whose work is recoded. Join us at NODE + CODE's August edition!
