History
Defunktion began as a space to exhibit art of any and all disciplines through monthly exhibitions, and has grown to encompass written features by selected contributors, interviews with established designers, artists and musicians, weekly editorials and a permanent and constantly growing exhibition entitled Wallpaper.
At the core of the site is the exhibition space. Every month, new and established artists exhibit a selection of their pieces; exhibitions have covered a variety of media including motion, audio, textual and visual.
Defunktion’s editorial presents a hand-picked selection of recommendations focusing on new designers, interesting websites, exciting new music and pieces of interest. Complementing the editorial and exhibition spaces is a constantly growing archive of interviews with creatives from around the world; amongst those currently featured on the site include Yann Martel, Booker Prize winning author of Life Of Pi, Florian Schmitt of Hi-Res! and video-game designer Masaya Matsuura. Notably, in late 2003 Defunktion also recorded an exclusive In Conversation session between celebrated designers Malcolm Garrett and Peter Saville and more recently The Designer’s Republic were featured in a rare interview and exclusive on-line exhibition on the site.
Since its launch in May 2003, Defunktion has focused on presenting the most exciting and original music available to our readers. From live sets to promo compilations, via the site we have released exclusive recordings from a diverse range of artists and labels including: Daedelus (tigerbeat6 / eastern developments), Dust Science, Thought Universe (Skam / Struktur), Micz (Suemi), Ninja Tune, Pedro (melodic), Rumpistol (Rump Recordings) and Big Dada. Music is important to Defunktion and our readers, as such we’ll strive to continue searching for compelling new music.
Due to the constant influx of new music sent to Defunktion, in September of 2003, Defunkt Media was launched as an umbrella site for Defunktion itself and other projects associated with the Defunkt Media team. The first audio release by UK based producer Batfinks, entitled Foogle in Love, is available for download only on Defunkt Media. A new EP by jazz-electronica artist Kid Mingus was released on Defunktion in November 2004, followed closely by the launch of the Kid Mingus mini-site - also exclusive to Defunkt Media.
The latest addition to the Defunktion team is Paris-based designer and coder Adrien Dufond. Adrien constructed the latest build of the Defunktion, aiding in elevating both the form and functionality of the site to a new level. Defunktion is a nonprofit organisation setup to encourage artists worldwide; to discover original media; and to build a creative and collaborative artistic community.
