GOLDIN + SENNEBY @ POWERPLANT by Agi Gutkowska on January 19th, 2009

Goldin+Senneby - AfterMicrosoft (2006-07), an installation piece in which they have (re)visited the physical site of the most distributed image ever.

“The most distributed image [the desktop bg for Windows] ever is being phased out. What remains is a hill in Sonoma Valley, California.”

Goldin+Senneby is a framework for collaboration between artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby; exploring notions of economic fiction and immaterial place. Their work includes The Port (2004-06), a virtual island inside Second Life which they used as a point of departure for a series of projects addressing notions of publicness enclosed in a “social software”.

Their current project Headless (2007-), looks at strategies of withdrawal as generating myth, specifically tracing an offshore company on the Bahamas called Headless Ltd.
