Rommelo Yu In his work, Rommelo Yu is concerned with social unfairness,
racial prejudice, the pressure to conform and loss of identity.
Born in Manila in 1979 and raised in the USA, he shows the lingering
effects of colonialism through images seductive and intimate.
From 1995 to 2000 he studied Visual Arts, Literature and Creative
Writing at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. Since
2001 the artist lives and works in Berlin.
Homie Daniel Seiple and Betty Lamprecht will present Homie, a one-room, public project, art space in their apartment. Since November 27th, 2005 the couple has hosted artists and exhibited their work on a monthly basis. Artists include: Sachs/Hoefner (Berlin), Jeff Prybolsky (NYC), Douglas Ross (NYC), Katarina Burin (Berlin), Jeannette Louie (New Jersey), Neighborhood Public Radio (San Francisco), with more to come. Homie serves to showcase the work of one artist per month. It is a small room in a 2nd floor apartment. It opens directly to the building's stairwell and is separated from the living space by another door. This intimate scale and architecture potentially create a setting where ideas of visitation/residence, owned/for sale, and public/private are always in flux. At Sparwasser HQ, Daniel and Betty will present and discuss the artists' exhibitions, past and future. They will also attempt to describe the gallery, its setting, their intentions, and perceived responsibilities. Homie

Artist/Theorist Warren Neidich in Conversation with Armen Avanessian. Title: Restistance is Futile: The Neurobiopolitics of Global Consciousness. In Empire Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt elucidate what Foucault, in the last chapter of The Will To Knowledge, had already made explicit. They once again reiterate and delineate, in section 1:2, the different and evolutionary consequences of the '"disciplinary society' and the 'society of control' On one hand, the disciplinary society is constructed through a dissemination of social command by diffuse networks of "machinic assemblages" that regulate "each" subjects customs, habits and productive practice. Extensive culture, that culture that is characterized by Euclidean geometries, the assembly line, arboreal classification systems, operates upon the subject from the outside restricting his or her movements and choices along fixed and 'stable geometric points and quantitative logics. The society of control, on the other hand, operates within the domain of intensive cultural apparatti characterized by Riemanian spaces, rhizomatic logics working at non-linear junctures and folded temporality induced by the multiplicity of flows that characterize our global world post-internet. According to the authors, this transition from a disciplinary society to the society of control concerns the emergence of what they refer to as "Biopower" which regulates social life from within. "By contrast, when power becomes entirely biopolitical, the whole social body is comprised by power's machinery and developed in its virtuality". Since 1987 powerful new tools have emerged in Neuroscience which have altered our understanding of how these cultural systems, driven by new and sophisticated technologies, might sculpt the brain of the individuals that comprise that social body. In this artists talk, I would like to explore the possible mechanisms and sites through which we might understand the complex interactions for what I am now calling the "Neurobiopolitical" for this link, please go to 'artist based practices' and click
