He is participating in Massimiliano Gioni\u2019s \u201cThe Encyclopedic Palace\u201d at the 55<sup>th<\/sup> Venice Biennale, is nominated for the National Gallery Young Art Prize, Berlin, and was the winner of the Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel Statements in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Denny is interested in the development and contradictions of our thoroughly Media-tised society. His installations, objects, and projects focus on the connections between changes in media, commerce, aesthetics, and politics \u2013 with their ever repeated and always rapidly obsolete promise of the new. His current solo show, mounted at Vienna\u2019s mumok, follows his artistic focus on the collision of old and new technology, triangulated with current affairs and contemporary design: Here, he explores the legal and cultural implications of the closing down of Kim Dotcom\u2019s file-sharing site Megaupload.<\/p>\n<p>Once one of the most popular platforms for data exchange on the internet, Megaupload has had unprecedented consequences for international data exchange, international law, and the local media landscape in New Zealand. Following investigations by the FBI and a suit by a US court, Megaupload and Megavideo were closed down in January 2012, according to the indictment \u201cto stop a globally operating criminal organization, whose members were perpetrating large-scale copyright infringements and laundering vast sums of money, with a total damage of more than 500 million US dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the New Zealand police raided German-born Dotcom\u2019s Coatsville mansion, they seized a number of objects including US$175 million dollars in cash, 60 Dell servers, 22 luxury cars, numerous screens, and works of art. The legitimacy of this police operation was later questioned (Dotcom recently received several of his servers back from the FBI), also sparking a debate about the ownership and transfer of data. Denny assembles a series of objects in a sculptural visualisation of this list. Images, files and company data, from a life-sized Predator statue to three cubic meters of cash, from a luxury \u201cwork-bed\u201d to examples of artwork collected by Dotcom approximate all 110 items on the list. The result is a large installation that Denny describes as a \u201ccollection of copies, rip-offs and imitations of the \u2018real\u2019 contraband.\u201d This \u201cwill form a tangible focus point for what could be seen as one of the most important legal discussions of the moment \u2013 entangled as it is with borders, law, entertainment and what it means to steal, be supervised, and who owns what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simon Denny<\/strong> <strong>The Personal Effects of Kim Dotcom<\/strong> <strong>Museum moderner Kunst, Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna<\/strong> <strong>July 5 until October 13, 2013<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mumok.at\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.mumok.at<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Dotcom\u2019s villa in Coatesville, 30 km northwest of Auckland, is raided by the New Zealand police in January 2012.\u00a9 Photo The New Zealand Herald New Zealand-born, Berlin-based Simon Denny is having his moment.
