Heroes Of War: Film Still From Interview With Paul Gabriel Fusco

title Heroes Of War: Film Still From Interview With Paul Gabriel Fusco

description "Heroes of War," by Gonzalo Lebrija, is a video installation projected in the auditorium of the San Diego Veterans Museum in Balboa Park. Over a year before, Lebrija began working with veterans at the Veterans Home of California in Chula Vista. Gonzalo's goal was to intervene in the museum space, creating a curatorial discourse that approximates a creative group experience. Gonzalo participated in a number of reunions of former prisoners of war, or POWs. These experiences led him to explore the notion of military paraphernalia and veterans' narratives. Gonzalo filmed a number of individuals while they discussed the public recognition accorded to them and their actions as servicemen in times of war. --inSite_05 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This film still was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 188, DVD 01) Veterans Museum, Balboa Park (San Diego, Calif.)

One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Border Fence Decorated With Banners Behind Performance Stage

title One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Border Fence Decorated With Banners Behind Performance Stage

description Building on a collaborative process that is evident throughout his artistic practice, Javier Téllez's project "One Flew Over the Void (Bala perdida)" involved a sustained engagement with psychiatric patients from the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali to co-create a public event and to document its evolution and final performance. Inspired by the traditional "human cannonball" circus performer, Téllez explored the notion of spatial and mental borders in the context of Tijuana and San Diego, and developed an event that involves sending a "human cannonball" across the border between Mexico and the United States. Through successive creative workshops and exchanges the world's most famous human cannonball, Dave Smith, the psychiatric patients and Téllez collectively devised the backdrop, music, costumes, and radio and television announcements for the event. The performance occurred on August 27 at the site where the Mexico/US border fence disappears into the sea between Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park. Finally, Téllez created a video documenting the process and the event. --inSite_05 Imperial Beach, San Diego, California, United States Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 198, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

description Architecture and City Planning San Ysidro (San Diego, Calif.) Science, Technology and Industry Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The U.S. art collective SIMPARCH began their investigative process by working with one of Tijuana's informal communties in collaboration with the Fundación Esperanza. They became especially interested in the threme of water, in particular the idea of purifying water using solar-based water distillation. The project, entitled "Dirty Water Initiative," has two phases: the first stage is to construct and install a small purification plant as a "public fountain" sited in the pedestrian walkway from San Ysidro to Tijuana at the U.S./Mexico port of entry; the second stage involves the donation of the distillation facility to an informal community in Tijuana. The deployment of these solar distillers, sealed in glass, more than an aesthetic effect at the urban scale, seeks to stimulate reflection about the problem of water, and the importance of researching ecological solutions that could achieve a direct impact at the community level within poor, informal settlements. --inSite_05 This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 197, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

The Good Rumor Project

title The Good Rumor Project

description "The Good Rumor Project" appropriates and replicates the model of a social experiment. In seeking to invert the more common negative effects of rumor Wrange and his collaborators constructed two "good" rumors: one about people in Tijuana that was spread in San Diego and one about people in San Diego that was spread in Tijuana. In contrast to normal rumors, the "good" rumors were created in dialogue with the actual subjects of the rumors through a series of focus groups. The "good" rumors were disseminated through a multifaceted strategy that combines some of the most advanced marketing techniques - viral/ word of mouth marketing - with structures borrowed from rumor theory as well as recent research on small-world networks and social network analysis. By tracing the organization of the interdependent communication channels in the border zone, as well as the spatial and temporal development of the "good" rumor, Wrange/ OMBUD reveal how Society is predicated on an ever evolving communicative process. --inSite_05 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 202, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

title The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf In Luxury Car Dealer Showroom

description João Louro's project "The Jewel / In God We Trust" traces the inverted trajectory of the recycling dynamic that characterizes the border zone. His project begins with the selection of a European car recovered from a junkyard in Tijuana and transformed into a "jewel" through the addition of a skin of gold leaf. Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego. Proceeds from the sale will be given to an elementary school in Tijuana and used to support visual art workshops for children, where students will be encouraged to add further layers of imagery to the paper money. --inSite_05 La Jolla, San Diego (Calif.)

The Good Rumor Project

title The Good Rumor Project

description "The Good Rumor Project" appropriates and replicates the model of a social experiment. In seeking to invert the more common negative effects of rumor Wrange and his collaborators constructed two "good" rumors: one about people in Tijuana that was spread in San Diego and one about people in San Diego that was spread in Tijuana. In contrast to normal rumors, the "good" rumors were created in dialogue with the actual subjects of the rumors through a series of focus groups. The "good" rumors were disseminated through a multifaceted strategy that combines some of the most advanced marketing techniques - viral/ word of mouth marketing - with structures borrowed from rumor theory as well as recent research on small-world networks and social network analysis. By tracing the organization of the interdependent communication channels in the border zone, as well as the spatial and temporal development of the "good" rumor, Wrange/ OMBUD reveal how Society is predicated on an ever evolving communicative process. --inSite_05 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 202, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

title The Jewel / In God We Trust: Junk Car Covered In Gold Leaf In Luxury Car Dealer Showroom

description João Louro's project "The Jewel / In God We Trust" traces the inverted trajectory of the recycling dynamic that characterizes the border zone. His project begins with the selection of a European car recovered from a junkyard in Tijuana and transformed into a "jewel" through the addition of a skin of gold leaf. Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego. Proceeds from the sale will be given to an elementary school in Tijuana and used to support visual art workshops for children, where students will be encouraged to add further layers of imagery to the paper money. --inSite_05 La Jolla, San Diego (Calif.)

description Architecture and City Planning San Ysidro (San Diego, Calif.) Science, Technology and Industry Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The U.S. art collective SIMPARCH began their investigative process by working with one of Tijuana's informal communties in collaboration with the Fundación Esperanza. They became especially interested in the threme of water, in particular the idea of purifying water using solar-based water distillation. The project, entitled "Dirty Water Initiative," has two phases: the first stage is to construct and install a small purification plant as a "public fountain" sited in the pedestrian walkway from San Ysidro to Tijuana at the U.S./Mexico port of entry; the second stage involves the donation of the distillation facility to an informal community in Tijuana. The deployment of these solar distillers, sealed in glass, more than an aesthetic effect at the urban scale, seeks to stimulate reflection about the problem of water, and the importance of researching ecological solutions that could achieve a direct impact at the community level within poor, informal settlements. --inSite_05 This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 197, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

description Building on a collaborative process that is evident throughout his artistic practice, Javier Téllez's project "One Flew Over the Void (Bala perdida)" involved a sustained engagement with psychiatric patients from the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali to co-create a public event and to document its evolution and final performance. Inspired by the traditional "human cannonball" circus performer, Téllez explored the notion of spatial and mental borders in the context of Tijuana and San Diego, and developed an event that involves sending a "human cannonball" across the border between Mexico and the United States. Through successive creative workshops and exchanges the world's most famous human cannonball, Dave Smith, the psychiatric patients and Téllez collectively devised the backdrop, music, costumes, and radio and television announcements for the event. The performance occurred on August 27 at the site where the Mexico/US border fence disappears into the sea between Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park. Finally, Téllez created a video documenting the process and the event. --inSite_05 Imperial Beach, San Diego, California, United States Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 05-49) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

title Some Kindly Monster: Right Side Of Truck With Custom Painted Exterior

description Chris Ferreria's project, "Some Kindly Monster," was inspired by the expressive car culture that defines much of Southern California, and in particular the communities of Southeast San Diego and National City. By bringing together two distinct car customizers, who wouldn't normally collaborate together, Ferreria sought to create a monster vehicle that would embody his co-participants divergent aesthetics. In addition, Ferreria enlisted the contribution of three locally based DJs who created new recordings based on sampled field recordings taken from specific neighborhoods in San Diego. -- inSite_05 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design East San Diego, San Diego (Calif.)

description Haudenschild Garage, La Jolla, San Diego (Calif.) João Louro's project "The Jewel / In God We Trust" traces the inverted trajectory of the recycling dynamic that characterizes the border zone. His project begins with the selection of a European car recovered from a junkyard in Tijuana and transformed into a "jewel" through the addition of a skin of gold leaf. Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego.

title Osmosis And Excess: Film Still Depicting Tijuana Hillside Covered In Junk Cars

description Aernout Mik has created a video entitled "Osmosis and Excess" that interweaves images of junkyards in Tijuana's urban periphery with fictional scenes depicting a local pharmacy inundated with mud. Used cars flow from the United States to Mexico where they are eventually broken down and discarded on Tijuana's barren hillsides. Moving in the other direction, cheap drugs flow from Tijuana into the United States. The abandoned cars and the medications represent different manifestations of excess.

They became especially interested in the threme of water, in particular the idea of purifying water using solar-based water distillation. The project, entitled "Dirty Water Initiative," has two phases: the first stage is to construct and install a small purification plant as a "public fountain" sited in the pedestrian walkway from San Ysidro to Tijuana at the U.S./Mexico port of entry; the second stage involves the donation of the distillation facility to an informal community in Tijuana. The deployment of these solar distillers, sealed in glass, more than an aesthetic effect at the urban scale, seeks to stimulate reflection about the problem of water, and the importance of researching ecological solutions that could achieve a direct impact at the community level within poor, informal settlements. --inSite_05 This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 197, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Mid-Flight As He Is Shot From A Cannon And Across Border Fence

title One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Mid-Flight As He Is Shot From A Cannon And Across Border Fence

description Building on a collaborative process that is evident throughout his artistic practice, Javier Téllez's project "One Flew Over the Void (Bala perdida)" involved a sustained engagement with psychiatric patients from the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali to co-create a public event and to document its evolution and final performance. Inspired by the traditional "human cannonball" circus performer, Téllez explored the notion of spatial and mental borders in the context of Tijuana and San Diego, and developed an event that involves sending a "human cannonball" across the border between Mexico and the United States. Through successive creative workshops and exchanges the world's most famous human cannonball, Dave Smith, the psychiatric patients and Téllez collectively devised the backdrop, music, costumes, and radio and television announcements for the event. The performance occurred on August 27 at the site where the Mexico/US border fence disappears into the sea between Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park. Finally, Téllez created a video documenting the process and the event. --inSite_05 Imperial Beach, San Diego, California, United States Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 198, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

The Good Rumor Project: Video Documentation

title The Good Rumor Project: Video Documentation

description "The Good Rumor Project" appropriates and replicates the model of a social experiment. In seeking to invert the more common negative effects of rumor Wrange and his collaborators constructed two "good" rumors: one about people in Tijuana that was spread in San Diego and one about people in San Diego that was spread in Tijuana. In contrast to normal rumors, the "good" rumors were created in dialogue with the actual subjects of the rumors through a series of focus groups. The "good" rumors were disseminated through a multifaceted strategy that combines some of the most advanced marketing techniques - viral/ word of mouth marketing - with structures borrowed from rumor theory as well as recent research on small-world networks and social network analysis. By tracing the organization of the interdependent communication channels in the border zone, as well as the spatial and temporal development of the "good" rumor, Wrange/ OMBUD reveal how Society is predicated on an ever evolving communicative process. --inSite_05 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 05-60) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

title Dirty Water Initiative: Water Purifier Installed In Tijuana Community

description Architecture and City Planning Science, Technology and Industry Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The U.S. art collective SIMPARCH began their investigative process by working with one of Tijuana's informal communties in collaboration with the Fundación Esperanza. They became especially interested in the threme of water, in particular the idea of purifying water using solar-based water distillation. The project, entitled "Dirty Water Initiative," has two phases: the first stage is to construct and install a small purification plant as a "public fountain" sited in the pedestrian walkway from San Ysidro to Tijuana at the U.S./Mexico port of entry; the second stage involves the donation of the distillation facility to an informal community in Tijuana. The deployment of these solar distillers, sealed in glass, more than an aesthetic effect at the urban scale, seeks to stimulate reflection about the problem of water, and the importance of researching ecological solutions that could achieve a direct impact at the community level within poor, informal settlements. --inSite_05 This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 197, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Ascends From Cannon And Across Border Fence

title One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Ascends From Cannon And Across Border Fence

description Building on a collaborative process that is evident throughout his artistic practice, Javier Téllez's project "One Flew Over the Void (Bala perdida)" involved a sustained engagement with psychiatric patients from the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali to co-create a public event and to document its evolution and final performance. Inspired by the traditional "human cannonball" circus performer, Téllez explored the notion of spatial and mental borders in the context of Tijuana and San Diego, and developed an event that involves sending a "human cannonball" across the border between Mexico and the United States. Through successive creative workshops and exchanges the world's most famous human cannonball, Dave Smith, the psychiatric patients and Téllez collectively devised the backdrop, music, costumes, and radio and television announcements for the event. The performance occurred on August 27 at the site where the Mexico/US border fence disappears into the sea between Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park. Finally, Téllez created a video documenting the process and the event. --inSite_05 Imperial Beach, San Diego, California, United States Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 198, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

description "Aerial Bridge," by Maurycy Gomulicki, brings together diverse members of model airplane clubs in San Diego and Tijuana through a creative process of personalizing model airplanes and co-creating a flying event at the border. In this piece the experience of personal fantasy that is expressed in the designing and building of model planes combines with the unique experience of forging relationships. Scheduled for September 24, 2005, the event was geld at the cemeted riverbed of the Tijuana River, at the point where the yellow border demarcation line painted down the center of the river channel is approximately level with the intersection of the Via Rápida and the border bridge. --inSite_05 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 05-31) Tijuana River Tijuana River, California, United States [Title, Date].

Osmosis And Excess: Film Premiere In Parking Lot

title Osmosis And Excess: Film Premiere In Parking Lot

description Aernout Mik has created a video entitled "Osmosis and Excess" that interweaves images of junkyards in Tijuana's urban periphery with fictional scenes depicting a local pharmacy inundated with mud. Used cars flow from the United States to Mexico where they are eventually broken down and discarded on Tijuana's barren hillsides. Moving in the other direction, cheap drugs flow from Tijuana into the United States. The abandoned cars and the medications represent different manifestations of excess.

Some Kindly Monster: Truck Interior With Speakers

title Some Kindly Monster: Truck Interior With Speakers

description Chris Ferreria's project, "Some Kindly Monster," was inspired by the expressive car culture that defines much of Southern California, and in particular the communities of Southeast San Diego and National City. By bringing together two distinct car customizers, who wouldn't normally collaborate together, Ferreria sought to create a monster vehicle that would embody his co-participants divergent aesthetics. In addition, Ferreria enlisted the contribution of three locally based DJs who created new recordings based on sampled field recordings taken from specific neighborhoods in San Diego. -- inSite_05 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design East San Diego, San Diego (Calif.)

One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Preparing To Be Shot From A Cannon And Across Border Fence

title One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Preparing To Be Shot From A Cannon And Across Border Fence

description Building on a collaborative process that is evident throughout his artistic practice, Javier Téllez's project "One Flew Over the Void (Bala perdida)" involved a sustained engagement with psychiatric patients from the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali to co-create a public event and to document its evolution and final performance. Inspired by the traditional "human cannonball" circus performer, Téllez explored the notion of spatial and mental borders in the context of Tijuana and San Diego, and developed an event that involves sending a "human cannonball" across the border between Mexico and the United States. Through successive creative workshops and exchanges the world's most famous human cannonball, Dave Smith, the psychiatric patients and Téllez collectively devised the backdrop, music, costumes, and radio and television announcements for the event. The performance occurred on August 27 at the site where the Mexico/US border fence disappears into the sea between Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park. Finally, Téllez created a video documenting the process and the event. --inSite_05 Imperial Beach, San Diego, California, United States Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 198, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

Osmosis And Excess: Film Premiere In Parking Lot

title Osmosis And Excess: Film Premiere In Parking Lot

description Aernout Mik has created a video entitled "Osmosis and Excess" that interweaves images of junkyards in Tijuana's urban periphery with fictional scenes depicting a local pharmacy inundated with mud. Used cars flow from the United States to Mexico where they are eventually broken down and discarded on Tijuana's barren hillsides. Moving in the other direction, cheap drugs flow from Tijuana into the United States. The abandoned cars and the medications represent different manifestations of excess. Both modify a landscape: one inner, the other outer. The film was shot on high-definition video in a panoramic format to best illustrate the depicted landscapes. The video was projected as an intervention in a public parking lot in downtown San Diego.
