[R] [R] [F] Remembering Repressing Forgetting is an independent cultural production in progress.
[R][R][F] is an experimental New Media art project created and developed by media artist and curator, Agricola de Cologne, which he is developing and organizing completely online. It includes a variety of online and offline components: The basic subject – ’memory and identity’ The basic operating aspect – ’networking as artworking.’ The basic presentation aspect – physical installation – the exchange/combination of virtual and physical space.
The project creates a universe of its own in which most different networking instances are acting. It is creating a system based on filtering, starting from de Cologne’s personal view based on specific filters, then by inviting curators, who select artists of their choice who form the next following level as they may come from different cultural, religious, political and social backgrounds. The active user anywhere on the globe, finally, forms another level by contributing his personal filtering system via associating and reflecting.
The rapid developments of the new (and above all affordable) communicating technologies and the virtual environment of the Internet, is the basis of the project. Networking is a specific form of communicating, and communicating as such forms the fundament of the project. Consequently, an essential part of the project consists of components which may become visible only as the result of a communicating process, but are actually acting entirely in the background, as the communicating between the physical networking instances which keep the project running.
