Digital Divide

I was sold in this center
Of media-Art
Commercialized by the customs I wear
Advertised by the guitar I play
Walking around, every one is tagged
Back of every each of us a brand is dragged

I can't visit you on-line
It's the digital divide

I live in an interior designed
Walking around with shower-proof disguise
Followed by a hi-tech advice
On my PC display rolling dice
Now they surround you with their web-cams
Dream-works through your head-bangs
To kill myself or stay alive
Both feels like suicide

And I can't visit you on-line
It’s the digital divide
I'm cyberactively numb
The digital divide

13 video artworks From Iran In New Dehli

13 video artworks From Iran In New Dehli
Iranian Viedo artworks in india curated by Dr. Hamid Severi (I was his student in the Azad University...) TMCA's curator with some arworks of these folks: Farid jafari, Barbad Golshiri,Rozita Sharaf jahan, Neda Razavipour,Daryoush Mehrjoee, Mania Akbari,Simin Keramati, Maryam Niazadeh,Seyfolah Samadian,Ebrahim Haghighi,Zohreh Eskandari & Morteza Darebaghi,I refused to send artworks to him to review as I am not acceptbale one & I'm not his friend &I hate all these TMCA things & stuffs,aslo in my opinion a curator should find the artists but here evertything is upside down, artists mostly find the curator sitting in his office & they ask him to accept them (this is just like begging some times). Amoung these collection Rozita Sharafjahan's video artworks [deep depression] was shown once in her own gallery the Tarahan Azad art gallery Tehran Feb 2004 (the exhibition which I curated), Farid Jafari who makes video artworks for many so called iranian video artists specially the Group 30+'s members called once & said: He (severi) wants to review the artworks wanna come i said no cause a good curator should come after these things not me! I meant visiting the exhibitions, going to artists' studios & ... is their job! ( As many international cuartors came here to parkingallery to see our artworks) We don't have to wait at their door! & this is the result there is no image in the news just some lines & no feed back, that's all!

My answers to Jacek Mrowczyk's questions

Jacek Mrowczyk is editor of 2+3D magazine & i met him In Tehran during the 8th tehran Poster Biennial.He sent me some questions for an article about Iran which published recently....
1. What is inspiring for you during your design process? Who is your hero in design world?
I do lots of photography during the design process, then I work on typography, after that i mix them with each other I liked David Carson's when I was younger, Now I'm interested in MM Paris Design & uwe loecsh, among Iranian designers , I like Reza Abedini & Ghobad Shiva because I have been learning a lot from them & I still can do now

2. Is it important for you to keep Iranian character (stylistic) of your work?
Not that much because I'm living in another period of time & I hate to absorb the world's attention this way its a long story [just like our cinema] while western collectors, curators & art director are paying attention to this co called character which is recently being wasted be new Iranian designer by using the old images with lack of knowledge & concept & just for show off or for the international festivals' tastes
I have to mention these new waves of looking at the Middle East [we are in the news everyday] in west caused the world's view to searching on the surface not deep in side just as the news reporters are looking at it & promoting this to the world.

3. How deep influence has non figurative Islamic art?
I think this background caused us to imagine better than the other designers but I pushed us into abstract images & motifs, I work with photography so I can't be much non figurative designer, for me those influences could be useful in layouts & typography because of our heavy back ground in calligraphy...

4. Very often I could find Latin typography together with Arabic letters. Which typography (Latin or Persian) has bigger potential for creativity?
perhaps every good designer likes to work with his own letters the Persian typography is a little bit different because our basic unit in typography isn't letters but the words, We design [if we design?! many Iranian designers still use the ready fonts which are available & few & ugly ] each word by its connections & its own atmosphere so we have more space to change or create something out of it, its harder than working on letters like Latin typography but the result in my opinion will be brighter & deeper.

5. How looks like Iranian market for graphic designers? Is it easy in Iran to start your own company? Is it possible only in big cities?

I can't tell exactly cause we are bad surrounded by low type & low taste cheap un educated designers[?!], advertising companies & many rules & there are some permission committees in the government that we have to pass to show our creativities in our design, another problem is the clients who are not aware of the importance of the good design they are some companies in every filed which simply employ some students or some in expensive technician to do perform the manager's idea with out the normal design fee that they have to pay if they work a professional designer, as the result our advertising out put is awful the only hope is the cultural activates which are no very well paid projects , so we can not easily depend on that too. yes the only big cites can have such studios because the money is there, I've been traveling In Iran during past 4 months I visited many cities the were full of advertising companies or even print shops which are offering the design as a discount to their clients, no idea, no creativities, nothing.

About parkingallery in its 2nd anniversary!

Parkingallery is a Tehran based independent art space founded by Amirali Ghasemi in 1998 in a parking area of a residential apartment. Parkingallery started initially as design studio, to help young Iranian visual artists through their exhibitions by designing the invitation cards, making portfolios & booking galleries and later by designing web sites [iranian profile] to introduce young talent. During this period we held several exhibitions in the parking area. [the actual parkingallery] Parkingallery also started some audio visual projects such Parkingallery video tryouts & the Meera project . We are grateful for the support of these people while parkingallery was setting out: Navid Ghaemmaghami , Nariman Amiri , Nazli Ataei & Yasser Raad .

In Sep 2002 Amirali Ghasemi, Borzoo Forootan & Armin Zoghi started the Parkingallery.com project as an online gallery to present a brand new generation of graphic designers, photographer & contemporary artists. Drawing & photography sessions & web design classes were also held in this period.

In Feb 2004 parkingallery held its 1st annual exhibition around the theme of ‘deep depression' with international participants producing video & audio installations, photography, performance & typography. In March 2004 parkingallery took over the 127 project, started by Reza Haeri in 2002, documenting the progress of the Tehran band 127.

As we reach the second anniversary of parkingallery.com, we have more than 20 active artists; a new generation of Iranian contemporary artists. We seek to provide an international platform for independent, creative artists.

working on parkingallery.com

hi there parkingallery is under construction & we are working on it hardly,i wish this can be finished in one week ,1st we will publish a static version then the programmized version will be avaliable in one month... so pary for us couse we will be one of the gateways of Iranian contemporary art [the new generation]

a part of our Sappi proposal

"...We aim to take graphics out of books & galleries & studios where handful of people get to see them & put it out thereon the streets of our city where it belongs, where millions be exposed to the possibilities it offers.

There are hundreds of billboards in every corner of Tehran but what gets posted on them begs to be injected with the pure energy & vitality of great artists working in this field.

We plan to have a giant exhibit of these artists whose work would be displayed on carefully selected & strategically located boards around the town (along with our own work) for a definite period of time...."

winds of changes

Neda ISP has filtered the I-gizmo.com so many Iranian user who use their services can't visit my photo blog, and there are many other small IPSs who use neda's services as big provider has the same problem,I sent an Email to Neda support the said they did it acourding to Smart Filter's database!!! and they promised to fix it very soon but the problem is still remianed. as 57% of my visitors are from Iran ... so you can guess....

I turned it on I mean the comments this is a test is there any body out there?

Sappi Ideas that Matter - Europe 2004 Grant recipients Parkingallery did not recieved the this year's grant I will post the details of our proposal very soon....

Koozeh in Photo This is Kabeh's photoblog my new friend

my latest photo in I-gizmo: Light explored in a cup
the god damn smart filter's database categorized I-gizmo as site to be filtered so some of my iranian visitors [who use Neda network ISP]may not be able to see this page !!!! I told them once but they did fix it but i think every time they update thier filter list the problem repeats....

I'm trying to write again, I didn't put a space for others to use comment , I know that nobody read these words cos i didn't recevie any feed back by email & my main focus was on my photo blog,which is blocked by Neda network ( i think by mistake) & their user can't see my photos so I advertised for pars online :)) which didn't make such a mistake...
I will write I promise but too sad these days ...so be good to me this is not a take care of me message...

>----Deepression art; a multimedia project by parkingallery...
A review of a strange exhibition might be interesting if you put some the facts which are strange but easy to understand, when you enter the exhibition you will face a black suitcase full of fiction in the middle of the stairs, the papers are dropped here and there and if you pick up one of the you can easily read a title " Depression".
Then when you turn and go down the rest of stairs you will face a man which his face is like the dead people working on a grave stone, around him are filled by many candles… as it can be read on his grave stone his name is Omid Bamdad & he died today. He is presenting the visitors a box full of dates as Iranian tradition in moaning after some one who passed away…
Just after you met this dead guy you will meet a bride (angelo di morte) her name is Tinoush Shariat Panahi, walking around the exhibition hall with deadly silence her face is white instead of her eyes which are looking around to hunt!
