architecture and art collective ant farm were no ordinary group of building designers . formed in 1968 by chip lord , curtis schreier and doug michels , ant farm’s name was a metaphor for “underground architecture” . ironically their most famous work cadillac ranch ( 1974 ) protrudes noticeably from the ground ( see our previous post ) .

a strong emphasis on spectacle and audience participation made ant farm’s work accessible to the wider public and allowed it to disseminate its message .

in 1973 playboy dubbed ant farm a ‘cultural commando group’ . they weren’t far off . kidnapping buckminster fuller , crashing a cadillac through a wall of burning television sets and restaging jfk’s assassination in dallas were some of the more outrageous and provocative actions undertaken during the group’s ten - year collaboration . from 1968 to 1978 chip lord , doug michels and curtis schreier functioned as ant farm , an art collective with a utopian agenda and a penchant for radical architecture . trained as architects , the group was often joined by other artists and collaborators , including doug hall and hudson marquez , to actualize projects and media events .
the version of media burn contained on this dvd program was remastered in 2003 and contains a 23 minute commentary track by members of ant farm .
in 1971 , design group ant farm published the inflatocookbook — ostensibly a manual for how others could make
architectural performances
out of inflatable structures . back then , nearly five decades ago , ant farm would create and tour with their pseudo - habitable creations . they are a far cry from the inflatable structures of today , which by and large are associated with the bouncy castles of birthday parties .
the present is the form of all life : the time capsules of ant farm and lst explores the time capsule projects of seminal media art and architecture group ant farm and their contemporary successors , lst . tracing the time capsule’s evolution from analog archive to digital database , the exhibition examines the mutable nature of time perception , rapidly accelerating media obsolescence , and our shifting cultural attitudes toward preservation and privacy .
harrison and federici learned about ant farm while studying art history as undergraduates . an encounter with the late doug michels inspired them to collaborate on what was originally going to be a shorter film focused on one of ant farm’s works , “film capsule . ” but as harrison and federici learned more about what the group had done , they eventually decided to create a full - length documentary about the collective .
ant farm , a group of artists and architects based in san francisco , produced experimental work between 1968 and 1978 . the group combined architecture , performance , happenings , sculpture , installation , and graphic design , and documented its activities on camera in the early days of video art , embracing the latest technologies to disseminate its scathing criticism of american culture and mass media .

chip lord’s talk presents several recent projects and includes a historical introduction to the radical art and architecture group ant farm , 1968–1978 . in 1970 ant farm travelled cross - country in a “media van” shooting video and networking with other artists . ant farm media van v . 08 [ time capsule ] , an interactive sculpture made in 2008 , invites users to leave a “donation” to a digital time capsule , but also functions as a small video theater showing works made in 1970 . this on - going project migrates across time and space and intersects with new ubiquitous technologies .
one theme developed in ant farm’s body of work , and explored in the film , is the rise of mass media and television and their accompanying dangers ““ topics even more relevant today . ant farm traveled through the u . s . in its “media van , ” a chevrolet van that acted as an on - the - go studio for the group , which used it to share information with the public as it toured .

surveying the surly conceptual comedy that was ant farm , it is hard to find any contemporary equivalent . certainly the danish groups n55 and superflex explore similar strains of utopianism , but it is difficult to match the combined effect of ant farm’s wicked political wit , idealism and satirical exuberance . without the upheavals and cultural shifts of the 1960s , agitprop groups such as ant farm – or their contemporaries the british collective archigram and the italian superstudio – would have been inconceivable . but this show couldn’t be timelier . in our own tumultuous and politically polarized era , a renewed awareness of the example set by ant farm appears even more invaluable and overdue .
ant farm undertook large scale projects that incorporated iconic elements of american culture , especially the kitsch , as seen in the tailfin exhibit of buried cadillacs in amarillo .
perhaps best known for the iconic desert monolith “cadillac ranch” and stunts like “media burn , ” the radical architecture and media art group ant farm created an abundance of works across disciplines—including video , publications , built environments and performances . throughout their career ( 1968–79 ) , ant farm conceived a series of time capsules that focused not on the eternal but rather on the fleeting aspects of postwar american culture : consumer goods , media archives and tchotchkes . for various reasons , all of ant farm’s time capsules failed to function , that is , to be opened at the allotted future time and the intact contents examined .

i remember seeing a short film on ant farm a couple of years ago . it is very interesting since i had no idea what kind of statement it was making at the time . i’ll look into this book since i don’t know a whole lot about the specific group nor that time but have always wanted to know more .
in the late 1960s and early ' 70s , the ant farm collective pioneered the idea of
inflatable
structures as alternative architecture . inflatables illustrated offers a visual primer on how ant farm prepared and constructed their utopian , experimental inflatable - plastic architecture . objects such as
the 50x50 foot pillow ,
spare tire inflatable
and
clean air pod
are examples of the group ' s notion of an architectural practice that was less about pneumatic structure than it was about interactivity and ephemerality . this tape is a corollary to ant farm ' s seminal 1969 publication the inflatocookbook ( now out of print ) , a
do - it - yourself
guide to inflatable architecture . both the book and the tape can be seen as early examples of what is now termed
open source
; through collective practice , ant farm was interested in providing widespread access to their artistic concepts .
we’ll be featuring tyler survant’s “biological borderlands : ant farm’s zoopolitics” . ant farm was an avant - garde artist collective , based out of san francisco during the 1960s and 70s , focusing on work that engaged the built environment in both architectural and ecological senses . survant takes a close look at their “dolphin embassy” project , a co - habitation space for the species ' mutual education .

ant farm organized media burn , in which two “artist dummies” dressed as astronauts “drove” a customized 1959 cadillac renamed the phantom dream car at full speed into a wall of flaming television sets . using the car once again as a cultural icon , ant farm addressed the pervasive presence of television in everyday life , affronting the same media they had invited to cover the event . the video is styled after news coverage of a space launch , including melodramatic prestunt interviews with the members of the group and an inspirational speech by a john f . kennedy impersonator .

ant farm was established within the counter - cultural milieu of 1968 san francisco by two architects , chip lord and doug michels , later joined by curtis schreier . their work dealt with the intersection of architecture , design and media art , critiquing the north american culture of mass media and consumerism . ant farm produced works in a number of formats , including agitprop events , manifestos , videos , performances and installations .

ant farm crossed disciplinary boundaries into performance , multi - media , and public art within the context of radical changes going on in the art world and the social landscape in the early 1970’s . in 1970 , ant farm travelled cross country in a “media van” shooting video and networking with other artists . ant farm media van v . 08 [ time capsule ] , an interactive sculpture made in 2008 , invites users to leave a “donation” to a digital time capsule , but also functions as a small video theater showing works made in 1970 . this on - going project migrates across time and space and intersects with new ubiquitous technologies .

i am particularly interested in ant farm’s early work . in 1970 the group produced a set of temporary inflatable buildings designed as communal living spaces and performance centers . politically charged , the inflatables challenged american consumerism culture by suggesting a radically different and communal way of living . they could be quickly and inexpensively constructed , moved , and augmented , supporting a nomadic way of life .

this brief history of ant farm’s appropriation of the tailfin would be incomplete without mentioning the iconic cadillac ranch ( 1974 ) , arguably the group’s best - known fin project . the ranch is often defined in the context of consumer culture and its technological trends , but for doug michels it was a
dolphin idea .
the ten cadillacs , with noses half - submerged in a desert plain as flat as the sea , tailfins aloft , suggest dolphins caught mid - breach . this chimerical image , another techno - zoological mashup , reminds us that in the shadows of ant farm machines often lurk animals—which brings us back to the group’s zoopolitical monument and ultimate homage to the fin , the dolphin embassy , in whose non - human inhabitants the fish fin is re - embodied .
ant farm deployed their conceptual world through videos , manifestos , spectacular performances and installations until 1978 , when they disbanded following a studio fire . most of the slide and video documentation was saved , but very little else survived .
actar has just released ant farm – living archive 7 . felicity d . scott has collected archival material to illustrate the early trajectory of the collective , including its architecture , inflatables , performance , multimedia , and video work .
no single communication form , however , is of more interest to ant farm than another . they thrive on all forms of media and have made interventions into many fields , from architecture to community planning to the general environment .

on thursday , april 18 at 6 p . m . , lord presents “ant farm : then and now , ” presenting recent projects and including an historical introduction to the radical art and architecture group . ant farm , founded in 1968 , engaged in fringe research in architecture on two levels – a utopian , image - based practice using media , and a practical , do - it - yourself activity in air - supported structures and nomadic living . co - sponsored by the departments of architecture , art , and the history of art and architecture , the talk is at 100 willamette hall , 1371 east 13 th ave .
ant farm’s work anticipates all kinds of conceptual art and pranks , including the yes men , improv everywhere , burning man , and the cacophony society . in fact gary warne who founded the suicide club , the progenitor of the cacophony society , was a participant in ant farm’s media burn event in which a modified cadillac crashed through a pyramid of television sets . twenty years later , the san francisco cacophony society would have it’s own “kill your tv” event .
originally published in domus 522 / may 1973 the san francisco and houston - based ant farm is a group of philosophers , film - makers , politicians , and architects who live a nomadic and collectively organized iife scattered throughout texas and california . every member of the community is an active participant in the realization of social actions that range from building buildings , to making objects , records , video tapes and demonstrations . their sense of cohesion is extraordinary . the operations performed on one coast are nearly identical to the operations that other members of the group may excogitate on the other . the underground spirit of the group has sent out an army of termites into the subsoil of american officialdom . fundamentally , ant farm are artists hell - bent on the destruction of america ' s myths and public values , through performances and through the political transmissions of the underground tvtv station—top value television . a policy of guerilla video offers information radically different from what is available on ordinary american television .
integrates performance , spectacle and media critique , as ant farm stages an explosive collision of two of america ' s most potent cultural symbols : the automobile and television . on july 4 , 1975 , at san francisco ' s cow palace , ant farm presented what they termed the
ultimate media event .
in this alternative bicentennial celebration , a

the artist collective ant farm emerged in the late 1960 ' s , a period in which collaboration went hand - in - hand with explorations of the alternative fringe in architecture and art . counter - cultural artists and architects turned away from traditional institutional frameworks and created alternative practices that became earthworks , conceptual art , performance , video art , installation , and designer / builder architecture . ant farm ' s hybrid practice touched on all of these areas , which have since been formalized as genres of art practice . while post - structuralism and deconstruction had not yet entered the discourse of art criticism , ant farm ' s best works were prescient illustrations of simulation theory and iconic spectacle demonstrating a deep understanding of
the society of the spectacle .

founded in san francisco in 1969 ant farm could be regarded today as a very effective mix between archigram , the rolling stones and the yes men . ant farm embraced the latest technologies at the same time as they hit american culture on the head with their social and political comments and their highly critical ( up to being in some cases destructive ) approach to mass media . their projects do not stop at the work of art itself , they also encompass the mass media rendering of that work of art .
written by shamberg , it nevertheless incorporates ideas from many people involved in early video , and offers a rich exposition of language and rhetoric particular to the time . designed by the ant farm , a west coast media group , it ' s photographs and images certainly capture some of the visual culture of the early video practitioners and offer some interesting visual information as well . seeing paul ryan in monastic habit is worth the price of the entire book .
by joseph armstrong houston has always attracted creative people , drawn by the city’s openness to new ideas and by the presence of wealthy patrons willing to support those ideas . few of these artists have been as provocative as the counterculture arts group known as ant farm ( 1968 - 1978 ) . after teaching at the university of houston in 1969 , founders doug michels and chip lord moved to san francisco , where they were joined by artist curtis schreier .
ant farm started their career as evangelists of inflatable structures . cheap and easy to assemble , they challenged the american consumerism culture and fitted perfectly a nomadic , communal lifestyle , in total contrast with the brutalist architecture prevalent in the united states during the 1960s .
with the embassy , ant farm defies the objective distance of the scientific process to promote cross - acculturation and affective bonding between species . as a live - work space , in addition to its scientific functions the embassy must represent an interspecies home . indeed ,
these and many other developments in soviet history before 1945 have direct parallels in animal farm : napoleon ousts snowball from the farm and , after the windmill collapses , uses snowball in his purges just as stalin used trotsky . similarly , napoleon becomes a dictator , while snowball is never heard from again . orwell was inspired to write animal farm in part by his experiences in a trotskyist group during the spanish civil war , and snowball certainly receives a more sympathetic portrayal than napoleon . but though animal farm was written as an attack on a specific government , its general themes of oppression , suffering , and injustice have far broader application ; modern readers have come to see orwell’s book as a powerful attack on any political , rhetorical , or military power that seeks to control human beings unjustly .
space , land and time : underground adventures with ant farm is the first film to consider the work of the renegade 1970s art / architecture collective ant farm , best known for its iconic land - art piece , cadillac ranch . radical architects , video pioneers , and mordantly funny cultural commentators , the ant farmers created a body of deeply subversive multidisciplinary work that questioned the boundaries of architecture and everything else in the process . incorporating breathtaking archival video , new footage shot over ten years , and animation based on zany period sketches , space , land and time is about the joy of creation in a time when there were no limits .
among the readers was stanley marsh 3 , an amarillo businessman who invited the group to create an art installation on his ranch next to the old route 66 highway . with hudson marquez substituting for schreier , ant farm buried 10 classic cadillacs in a row , tailfins up . their iconic tribute to american popular culture , called cadillac ranch , celebrated the american love of the open road . it made them famous , inspiring a bruce springsteen song and a hollywood movie .
this real time document was shot during the truckstop tour of 1970 when ant farm - ers doug hurr , hudson marquez and doug michels crossed the bridge over lake pontchartrain , north of new orleans , louisiana . billboards advertised this bridge as “the world’s longest bridge . ”
in 1972 ant farm relocated to angleton , texas to design and build the “house of the century” for mailyn oshman . the time capsule was commissioned by the contemporary arts museum in houston to inaugurate the opening of its new building . contained in a refrigerator , it was scheduled to be opened in 1984 . in actuality , the time capsule survived a flood and was put into storage . it was rediscovered by the art guys , who produced the opening event in 2000 with ant farm members chip lord , doug michels and curtis schreier .
