Corinna Schnitt, an artist based in Cologne temporarily living in Los Angeles, organized the event. Rabea Eipperle was born in Mutlangen, Germany and studied at the University for Fine Arts (HfBK) in Hamburg. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Rabea operates with the notions of identity as formed by the kind of realism presupposed by the media imagery surrounding us. Her work processes the banal and the stereotyped in a way that seems to verify these cliches, while at the same time their falseness is made ever more obvious. These contradictions effect ridicule and absurdity. The fact, however, that Rabea Eipperle includes herself in the picture renders a disturbing twist to these expositions of prefabricated trivialities. (B.C.) Kim Schoen is more of a nomad than a resident. Born in Princeton, she currently lives and works in Los Angeles, having recently graduated from CalArts. She will be beginning a post-graduate program at The Royal College of Art in London in the fall of 2005. The project of history is ongoing, and the past is anything but fixed. This is the point of departure for Kim Schoen's photographs and video installations, which often address constructions of memory, identity and human interaction. Her interest in inclusion and exclusion, or what it means to be vulnerable, does not simply rest in a personal or psychological context, but pushes us back to look at the social, political and institutional mechanics at play. Employing visual tactics of displacement and repetition, the work refuses any easy social or ideological categorization in favor of more wide-ranging scope that draws on our desire to catch a glimpse, even if for just a moment, of something real. (K.L.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Directions to Betalevel: 1. Find yourself in front of "FULL HOUSE RESTAURANT" located at 963 N. Hill Street in Chinatown. 2. Locate the alley on the left hand side of Full House. 3. Walk about 20 feet down the alley (away from the street). 4. Stop. 5. Notice dumpster on your right hand side. 6. Take a right and continue down the alley. 7. Exercise caution so as not trip on the wobbly cement blocks underfoot 8. The entrance to Betalevel is located 10 yards down on left side, behind a red door, down a black staircase. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When the exploration era began, these regions were rapidly depopulated. In 1375, Abraham Cresques published his famous Catalan Atlas showing a wide blank stripe. Its caption was as simple as it was frightening: "terra incognita" - both a menace and a challenge to any mariner. For centuries, "terra cognita" and "terra incognita" coexisted within the same spatial coordinates, until it turned out that the mass to the south of the known world - "terra australis incognita" as it was known to the Ancients - wasn't the counterweight of the northern world populated by another species of man. With polar expeditions, the void on the map ultimately came to coincide with the white surface of the Antarctic. Now that the terrae incognitae have been entirely engulfed by the meridians of the known, there seems to be little space left for exploration. What was the story of these unknown spaces? Which new landfalls are possible, what new practices of partitioning are available? Some web-pioneers have decreed the Net to be the last terra incognita. ATOPIA 8 will look for unoccupied zones, unfamiliar territories, unfurling a path between concrete and imaginary, political and poetical mappings, while obeying the rule of any explorer: follow the river, going upstream from the coast. As no terra incognita is homogeneous, it has its arteries too.

Exposure to an oxytocin "potion" led people to be more trusting, tests by University of Zurich researchers found. They report in the journal Nature that the finding could help people with conditions such as autism, where relating to others can be a problem. But one expert warned it could be misused by politicians who want to persuade more people to back them. Oxytocin is a molecule produced naturally in the hypothalamus area of the brain which regulates a variety of physiological processes, including emotion. It also acts on other brain regions whose function is associated with emotional and social behaviours, such as the amygdala. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4599299.stm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Huntington Beach. A couple of weekends ago, we were nonchalantly(as opposed to chalantly) strolling down the hallowed aisles of the G.W.S.M. when a moldy stack of photos piled on a couple of photo albums caught our collective eye. To make a medium story almost non-existent, we purchased two hefty photo albums filled-to-the-brim with family photos of a hitherto unknown family. We haven't yet taken the time to look at the back of every photo to try to figure out the family's name. We have noticed that a lot of the photos feature family members standing in or in front of a nice-looking, fully-stocked liquor store. http://www.houseplantpicturestudio.com/HPS/liquorwebfotos/liquor.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Civil Liberties at Issue in PATRIOT Act Reauthorization 2. Department of Justice Proposes Expansion of PATRIOT Act 3. Proposed Checks and Balances for PATRIOT Act Provisions 4. Take Action - Make Your Voice Heard _______________________________________________ 1. Civil Liberties at Issue in PATRIOT Act Reauthorization Congress has begun drafting bills that would modify the PATRIOT Act, some provisions of which "sunset" on December 31, 2005 unless reauthorized by Congress. About half of the 16 provisions that sunset are not controversial. Others, however, are very troubling. They include authorization for the FBI to obtain court orders for huge amounts of data with no factual basis and for "roving taps" in intelligence cases without identifying either the target or the location to be surveilled. Other controversial provisions, such as the one setting low standards for "sneak and peak" searches in ordinary criminal cases, do not sunset but are being reexamined. In the current climate, there is essentially no likelihood that the PATRIOT provisions will sunset completely. The focus of the debate has been on strengthening judicial controls and Congressional oversight of the Act's authorities or extending the sunsets to keep pressure on the Executive Branch to use the authorities cautiously. With support from CDT and other civil liberties groups, Members of Congress from both parties have proposed amendments that would place important checks and balances on these authorities. Among the leading bills to limit the PATRIOT Act is the bi-partisan SAFE Act. _______________________________________________ 2. Department of Justice Proposes Expansion of PATRIOT Act After weeks of Congressional hearings, and just as consensus seemed to be emerging about the need to set appropriate limits on PATRIOT Act powers, the Department of Justice has proposed amendments that would go in exactly the opposite direction, including giving the FBI "administrative subpoena" authority-the power to write its own orders for disclosure of records without prior judicial approval. Administrative subpoenas are typically suited for the regulatory context-to investigate the administration of federal benefits programs, for example. To say the least, the FBI is not an administrative agency. Administrative subpoenas have also been made available in certain criminal contexts, where the rigorous checks and balances of the criminal justice system provide much-needed protection against abuse. It would be especially unwise to extend this power to intelligence investigations, which are broader, more secretive, and less subject to scrutiny than criminal cases. Under current law, the FBI already has far-reaching compulsory powers to obtain documents when it is investigating terrorism, under both its criminal and intelligence authority. Giving the FBI this new unfettered power would further erode the standards and protections on government access to personal information. The Senate Intelligence Committee recently met in private to draft legislation that would expand the FBI's powers under the PATRIOT Act-giving the FBI administrative subpoena power and the ability to copy the outside of letters and mailings without approval of the US Postal Service. The committee failed to reach a consensus and will reconvene on June 7 for another drafting session. For more information about administrative subpoenas: CDT testimony on administrative subpoenas, May 24, 2005 http://www.cdt.org/testimony/20050524dempsey.pdf Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, May 24, 2005 - statements of other witnesses: http://intelligence.senate.gov/0505hrg/050524/witness.htm Joint letter of civil liberties groups urging Senate Intelligence Committee members to reject administrative subpoena authority, May 23, 2005: http://www.cdt.org/security/20050523jointletter.pdf _____________________________________________________ 3. Proposed Checks and Balances for PATRIOT Act Provisions CDT has testified this year at 6 hearings on the PATRIOT Act in the House and the Senate, supporting amendments to the PATRIOT Act to provide appropriate safeguards to protect civil liberties. CDT has advocated the following reforms to the PATRIOT Act, most of which are in the bipartisan SAFE Act: * Require particularized suspicion and a factual basis for access to records The PATRIOT Act allows the FBI to obtain a court order forcing the disclosure of any business records upon the mere assertion that the records are "sought for" an authorized intelligence investigation. Under the PATRIOT Act, judges are mere "rubber stamps." CDT supports giving judges real oversight authority by requiring the FBI to present some facts giving reason to believe that person to whom records pertain is a terrorist or a spy. CDT also supports allowing the recipient of the order to challenge both the disclosure and the "gag order" that accompanies it. The same principle should apply to other sections of the PATRIOT Act that allow FBI officials to obtain certain transactional records without any judicial approval, using so-called "National Security Letters." CDT supports a requirement that NSLs, like other records requests, be subject to judicial approval upon a fact-based application. * Provide due process when secret intelligence evidence is used in criminal cases Under the PATRIOT Act, criminal prosecutors have been able to initiate and control intelligence surveillances. When evidence obtained under the intelligence provisions is used in criminal cases, the defendant should be able to review and challenge the evidence, as is the case in normal criminal cases. * Tighten the standards for sneak and peek searches The PATRIOT Act allows the government to delay notice of a court-approved search. The provision allowing sneak and peek searches does not sunset, but it should be reexamined nonetheless. In addition to limiting the initial period of delay to 7 days, with extensions, CDT supports narrowing the circumstances in which notification may be delayed, to ensure that these searches are used only under truly extraordinary circumstances. * Modify the definition of "domestic terrorism" The PATRIOT Act's overbroad definition of domestic terrorism could include acts of civil disobedience by political organizations. While civil disobedience is and should be illegal, it is not necessarily terrorism. CDT advocates limiting the definition to those offenses covered by the federal crime of terrorism.

No previous electronic experience, mathematical or general science knowledge is necessary. The purchase of a kit is required. Participants need to supply their own hand tools (wire cutters, wire strippers). Lots of handouts will be given out. The workshop is a hands-on lab. Participants immediately begin constructing working electronic circuits. Participants will acquire skills such as reading schematics, soldering, electronic construction, working with hand tools, identifying electronic parts and more. We will also be assembling and using BASIC Stamp microcontrollers in this class and learning how to program them in pBASIC, a free, downloadable, easy to use programming language. Topics include: sound making devices, electric motor demo, simple mechanical devices, "reverse" engineering, sensors and non-traditional computer interfaces. The last few classes will have open lab time in which we can focus on specifics project ideas that participants might have. --------- -- +--- www.bek.no --+ 47 55233080 ---+ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead.

Christos Ioakimidis could be jailed for up to five years if found guilty. The authorities removed the work from an Athens exhibition in the run-up to last year's Olympic Games, following a complaint by a far-right party leader.

Marc and all, a curious notion/thought/whistled stern, this idea of evolve/progression/softeners for scattering. I've intentionally waited to start the interfaces, the tech/web/net/artwork until the residency began. What this will mean is a sore brain and hurried thoughts. But time limits, stress, forcing ones self to create constantly for two weeks will play itself out some how. I think I will send out descriptions of where the works were made as well. And throw in other comments to make it all more curious.

WHERE THIS WAS CREATED: Toowoomba Shopping Center, leather couch overlooking a central battery of criss-crossing escalators. During a break, I searched for the Australian version of Twinkies. Sadly, all that I found were these roll-up cakes with Jam-like filling. I created another version of this work, that had all three files stacked together, but I've been trying to go the less busy and confusing route. MEZ's writings have always tricked my brain into following, so this interface made sense. Just sad that images didnt seem to fit here.

Just to remind you that the exhibition opens on the 11th June at the Babylon Gallery (Ely, UK) where the project is being shown as a large interactive projection, an interactive image wall and 2 videos created from the submissions (and the phones, of course). I am also running kids and adult workshops with the 5 mobile phones on the 18th June if you fancy coming along and making a doc- u at the gallery. Since the project was launched I have a number of requests to send audio/sonic files. I think that this is a great idea (why did I not think about that before?) so, I am now opening the project to audio/sonic doc-u's. Please send your sound files created via mobile phones to me (jess at doc-u.co.uk) if you would like to participate in the project in this way. The project is open to photos and sounds for as long as you would like to keep sending them to me! cheers, jess.

This website is hidden in the darknet of the Internet and is not Googleable -which I don't really understand, but am pleased about. What is strange for me is that this 'creature' as you call it includes photographs of my brother and my mother and my grandmother. Also my Grandmother (who was a much loved original) died recently, so to see her image representing my 'late' existence was both spooky and encouraging. Usually i imagine my cyberself to be utterly disconnected from family. Not just my family but the idea of family. So this presentation of a timeline of myself in the context of my family gets me thinking that for most people who use the internet outside of work this is precisely what the Internet is for. Whether it's for blood family or a family of friends. It allows clusters of allied/ kin souls separated by geography to feel togetherness.

Owen Gibson investigates Owen Gibson Monday June 6, 2005 http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/news/0,12597,1500174,00.html The Guardian The former CBS anchor Dan Rather last year experienced at first hand the power of the blogosphere. After his controversial report on the clouds over George W Bush's military service, US bloggers from both sides of the political spectrum swarmed all over the story. And after the White House released the relevant memos, which had purportedly been written by Bush's commander in the Texas Air National Guard, it was the blogging community that was credited with leading the news agenda as it speculated on their provenance. Two weeks later, CBS announced that the man who supplied the documents had admitted lying about their authenticity and Rather was forced to publicly apologise. The furore around "Rathergate" brought the blogging phenomenon to the fore during the presidential election as well, and gave rise to a slew of newspaper stories suggesting that a seismic shift was taking place in the American media landscape. Could blogs, they asked, become the fifth estate? In an effort to test that hypothesis, researchers from the respected Pew Internet & American Life Project have conducted the first in-depth academic study of 40 of the biggest and most respected political blogs and the extent to which they influence and are influenced by other media. "We tracked not just the political blogs but also what the US mass media was saying and what general internet chatrooms were saying," explains Michael Cornfield, the senior research consultant on the project, named Buzz, Blogs and Beyond. Its results show that bloggers are generally following another agenda, whether that of a political party or another medium, but also highlights the extent to which they can now influ ence the mainstream media on certain topics. "Sometimes blogs lead and can be very influential and other times they're followers," he says. While it remains too early to tell how the medium will develop, he says, the report offers an intriguing glimpse of how bloggers are starting to shape the US news agenda. Rathergate showed that when bloggers were able to access primary evidence in the same way as newspaper journalists, they could run with a story. "One of the reasons they were so influential was because they were able to put up what they called 'the smoking memo'," says Cornfield, referring to a version of a document reconstructed using Word, and suggesting it had been faked. "In one sense it's classic investigative journalism but what's new is that the clues are out there in the open. It would be as if the Watergate tapes themselves were online and we could all listen to them and hyperlink to them. This is the change." According to the study, there are now "A-list" bloggers in the US, such as Andrew Sullivan and Buzz Machine's Jeff Jarvis, who are capable of setting the news agenda because they are habitually referred to by journalists in the mass media who rely on them to break stories. "Journalists, activists and political decision-makers have learned to consult political blogs as a guide to what is going on in the rest of the internet," the report notes. Accordingly, for a certain breed of US political animal, blogs now perform the same function as mass market portals do for the rest of us - sifting and disseminating the morass of material on the web and pointing to interesting stories and primary sources elsewhere. However, Cornfield also thinks it is important not to overstate the impact of blogs on political life. Apart from the relatively few and far between "swarms" such as Rathergate, he believes that blogs have had a limited impact on the national conversation. "The influence and impact of blogging has been felt much more by journalists than by politicians," he says, pointing out that a group such as the Swift Boat Veterans had a far greater impact on the election than the blogosphere. The report notes that a number of other potential scandals - such as the apparent bulge in President Bush's jacket during the first presidential debate - failed to ignite in the same way. "For a conversation to acquire the intense simultaneity of buzz, and for buzz to register with force in public affairs, requires a number of other factors to be present, few of which are likely to be at the disposal of a single blogger, or even a blogging collective, ready to activate at will," it concludes. Also, Cornfield says, the power of a particular blogger can quickly "wax and wane" depending on how hot a particular news story is and how much information they are able to acquire from other sources. On their own, the power of bloggers remains "circumstantial and contingent", the report argues. In the UK, there was a feeling that the general election would provide domestic blogs with a similar spark to Rathergate. There was no shortage of primary material, such as the attorney -general's advice on the war in Iraq, but there was little sense that the internet impinged on the mainstream media. While Belle de Jour got the mainstream media speculating on her (or his) identity, and the likes of Scary Duck greatly amuse, there is a sense that the Americans take their blogging more seriously than we do. With the odd exception (Guido Fawkes' Order-Order.com and Mick Fealty's Slugger O'Toole blog on Northern Ireland for example), there is little heavyweight comment and it is rare to see a blog break a story or substantially move it on. One of the most persuasive theories for this contrast is the far more rambunctious nature of the British national and regional press compared to the mostly regional, generally staid, US titles. So, the argument goes, American bloggers are fulfilling a need for a heated national conversation among competing viewpoints, whereas we can arouse much the same feelings of empathy or revulsion by reading Richard Littlejohn or Polly Toynbee. For all that, Neil McIntosh, the assistant editor of Guardian Unlimited (responsible for introducing a series of blogs allied to this newspaper), says that a breakthrough Rathergate moment is inevitable sooner or later. "You'd be daft to say never. All that it takes is someone to see that a properly produced Private Eye-style blog would work brilliantly on the web. You'll get something like that in Britain." Cornfield also points to evidence of bloggers mobilising the "No" vote in the French referendum on the EU constitution as proof that it just takes the right kind of issue to spark interest. Meanwhile, Cornfield notes a new threat to the burgeoning number of influential one-man-band political bloggers in the US - the growing tendency for mainstream media to cotton on to the possibilities. "If everyone blogs, what about that fictional soap-box blogger in Hyde Park? Who knows whether they'll be able to keep their mainsteam audience or they'll be pushed to the edge," he says. And given the pace of change online, it is entirely likely that a new technology will come along and supersede the blog, he adds. "Not many people are going to dive into a 300-page document, but they're more likely to dive into a two-page document. And once homemade video content takes off and is shared, they're perhaps even more likely to dive into that." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What Happened to Peace? But these exhibitions didn't rouse the Los Angeles Police Department the way a one-night showing on April 23 did. With six patrol cars, they shut down the exhibition Mark of the Beast, forcing some 1,000 attendees into the streets, on grounds that it was "offensive and aggressive in nature." The offending works? Culture-jammed corporate logos. The LAPD's reaction to Mark of the Beast was spurred by a single phonecall of complaint, according to gallery director Mike Russek, and Transport was shuttered by officers who never set foot in the gallery to see the work for themselves. It's yet another example of the clamp-down on free expression in the United States following September 11, 2001. Last month, the Secret Service dropped in to investigate the exhibition Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin, a show at Chicago's Columbia College that included an image of George W. Bush with a gun to his head. Last May 11, the FBI seized equipment used by members of the Critical Art Ensemble, an internationally renowned art collective that examines the politics of biotechnology, and launched an intense investigation that could land two artists in jail as bioterrorists. But it's not just law enforcement that's playing content cop: in a case last year, a San Francisco gallery owner shut down her business in fear for her safety after receiving an egg-spattered front window, death threats, and a black eye from a visitor to her front door. What sparked such anger is that her showcase of local art included an oil painting depicting victims of torture at Abu Ghraib prison. more... http://adbusters.org/blogs/content/view/43/47/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And it turns out that one of the lessons is: Disobey authority. In a connected world, ordinary people often have access to better information than officials do. Proof can be found in the 298-page draft report issued in April by the National Institute on Standards and Technology called Occupant Behavior, Egress, and Emergency Communications. (In layman's terms, that's who got out of the buildings, how they got out, and why.) It's an eloquent document, in many ways. The report confirms a chilling fact that was widely covered in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. After both buildings were burning, many calls to 911 resulted in advice to stay put and wait for rescue. Also, occupants of the towers had been trained to use the stairs, not the elevators, in case of evacuation. Fortunately, this advice was mostly ignored. According to the engineers, use of elevators in the early phase of the evacuation, along with the decision to not stay put, saved roughly 2,500 lives. This disobedience had nothing to do with panic. The report documents how evacuees stopped to help the injured and assist the mobility-impaired, even to give emotional comfort. Not panic but what disaster experts call reasoned flight ruled the day. more... http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.06/start.html?pg=3 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had a quick look in the root directory, saw my name and drew a conclusion Mistakes like that happen easily Thoughts? Well, I really like it, as I said. I think you've kind of got me, at least some aspects of me as poet - that may partly be in the way that I pointed you to some texts rather than others; but what you have done with them is yours. I like the simplicity and the playfulness I like seeing the pieces mixed up that way, not in a medley or random, but making something new. I have a category that I call _boogie_. I make a text - I'm talking largely about paper-based stuff now and then later I may make a boogie version of it, fracturing, repeating, syncopating it, often visually as well as linearly; and i also boogie vispo, but leave that for now It's a kind of counterpoint to the fairly high seriousness with which I make my poems. OK, I get the poem done that way, seriously, and it's there and I can love it and hug it and call it George; and then I have fun with it by turning it into a boogie I like this piece. Beautiful words (!) images sound. Who wouldnt love it... I think it's good work But *also, from me, well done, that when I looked at it onscreen this morning there was recognition - blimey that's me that is & that's sensitivity to materials, that's good reading Thank you very much L ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Nelson" To: "Lawrence Upton" Cc: Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 11:42 AM Subject: Re: Fw: [NetBehaviour] RESIDENCY: Seven of 24 artist interfaces: Upton > Jeepers....sorry about that.

Working with the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet (IPDI) of George Washington University, CDT drafted a Joint Statement of Principles to guide the FEC (and ultimately Congress) in considering any application of campaign finance laws to individuals' speech online. Among the leading organizations that signed the principles are the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the National Taxpayers Union, the People for the American Way, and the Personal Democracy Forum. More than 1,100 bloggers and other individuals - from across the political spectrum - joined the statement as well. Among the most critical points in the Statement of Principles submitted to the FEC: * robust online political activity by ordinary people strengthens and supports the central goal of campaign finance laws by diluting the strength and power of big money voices; * bloggers and other individuals should be able to express their political views online without concern about the campaign finance laws and without needed to consult an attorney; * the FEC should refrain from regulating online political speech unless and until there is concrete evidence that such speech is harming the election system, and then any regulation should be narrowly focused on the specific problem; * individuals should be able to collaborate on politically-oriented blogs and web sites without becoming subject to laws regulating "political committees." The Joint Statement of Principles is available at http://www.cdt.org/speech/political/20050603cdt-ipdu.pdf. _____________________________________________ (2) CDT FILES EXTENSIVE COMMENTS WITH FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION In addition to the Joint Statement of Principles, on June 3rd CDT also submitted on its own behalf detailed comments addressing a broad range of specific issues raised by the FEC in March, when it issued a "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" proposing to extend the campaign finance laws to a limited category of online speech. Although the FEC's proposal was intended to be narrowly focused, it nevertheless raised a host of concerns. For example, the FEC proposed regulating paid advertisements placed on a third party's web site. A focus on paid advertisements makes sense in the offline world - where ads usually cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. But as CDT documented in its comments to the FEC, individuals can purchase political ads for as low as $10, and the FEC's proposal would discourage the use of this type of "online bumper sticker." In its filing, CDT proposed that the FEC designate a monetary threshold below which online ads would not be regulated. An overarching focus of CDT's comments to the FEC is the critical need to establish an easy to understand "bright line" rule protecting the online political speech of individuals. The campaign finance laws are both voluminous and very complex, and it is unrealistic to expect that the millions of politically active Internet users would be able to wade through the regulations and figure out how they apply. CDT argued to the FEC that it is essential that there be a single, simple statement of any obligations that might apply to ordinary citizens. CDT's Comments also emphasized the unique contribution that the Internet is making to the political process. It has greatly expanded the participation of ordinary citizens in the political process, and has opened up a huge diversity of alternative sources for political news and opinion. As the last election showed, the Internet is a powerful forum for democratic discourse, making it possible for millions of ordinary Americans to have a real voice in electoral politics and to have access to an extraordinary array of news and opinion, delivered by bloggers and alternative media sources. Ultimately, CDT believes that the Internet furthers the prime goals of the campaign finance laws, and is part of the solution, not part of the problem. CDT's Comments to the FEC are available at http://www.cdt.org/speech/political/20050603cdtcomments.pdf The FEC's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is available at http://www.fec.gov/pdf/nprm/internet_comm/notice_2005-10.pdf ____________________________________________ (3) NEXT STEPS AT FEC AND IN CONGRESS CDT has asked to testify at the FEC's planned hearings in its rulemaking on June 28 and 29, 2005. We hope to further emphasize to the FEC the need to protect individuals' online speech, in a clear and easy-to-understand way. CDT will also continue to work with the diverse coalition of organizations that are concerned about the impact of the campaign finance laws on individuals. Although there is broad agreement that individuals' online speech should be protected, there is not agreement about how best to do so. By continuing the dialog with groups and individuals representing a broad range of perspectives, we hope to be able to develop consensus about ways to protect individuals. Utlimately, CDT believes that Congress may have to amend the campaign finance laws to make clear that the speech of ordinary Internet users is not covered. Although CDT has urged the FEC to issue a very clear ruling, the ability of the FEC to do so may be hampered by requirements in the laws that the FEC is not free to change. There have been some proposals in Congress to protect Internet speech, and CDT plans to work with members of Congress to develop a solution that protects individuals' speech without opening large campaign finance loopholes for candidates and political parties.

It now provides an enlarged set of features and research opportunities: The major novelty is the freshly implemented Thesaurus featuring a variety of categories and keywords. The Database offers an extensive search tree that permits a targeted set search : (best under mozilla or safari, explorer perhaps needs a reload) e.g. genre: interactive art: http://virtualart.hu-berlin.de/common/searchWork.do?keywordId=164 or theme: body: http://virtualart.hu-berlin.de/common/searchWork.do?keywordId=222 The Thesaurus of the Database constitutes a new approach to systemize the field of Digital Art and the terms and concepts connected to it and will grow over the next few months. Get your own impression and take a look at http://virtualart.hu-berlin.de. We encourage your remarks and suggestions! As a pioneer in the field, the Database of Virtual Art has been documenting the rapidly evolving field of digital installation art since 1999. It is supported by the German Research Foundation and various other institutions. Our research-oriented, complex overview of immersive, interactive, telematic and genetic art has been developed in cooperation with renowned media artists, researchers and institutions. The database is based on open-source-technologies and allows individuals to post material themselves. Currently it contains hundreds of work descriptions including several thousand digital documents, technical data, institutions and bio-bibliographical information about the artists. As one of the richest resources available online, the database responds to the demands of the field. Video is especially able to document the processual nature of interactive works. Therefore we have strategically integrated this medium into our concept since 2002. Over time the interlinked layers of data will also serve as a predecessor for the crucial systematic preservation of this art.

The Residency supports contemporary electronic media art projects. The studio workshop environment offers access to an image processing system, intensive individualized instruction and time for exploration and personal creative growth. Artists have an opportunity to study the processes and techniques of analog and digital imaging and to then use the system independently in the creation of new works. Participating artists have complete aesthetic and technical control over all aspects of the making process. The image processing system is a hybrid tool set which facilitates interactive relationships between older historically important analog instruments such as colorizers and keyers, and new digital technologies using several G4s, a customized Doepfer A-100 system with sonic and control modules, software including Max/MSP, Jitter and Pluggo, as well as DVD authoring and editing software, DVD Studio Pro and Flash. Recording is mini-DV/DV and DVD. Svhs and 3/4" decks are also available. This rich electronic environment encourages artists to explore boundaries and intersections within narrative, documentary and social issue traditions as well as more experimental forms. A complete list is available by email and on the web in the News section. The postmark deadline is July 15th. You are encouraged to email the written materials. To apply please send the following: 1. A brief project description 2. A current resume 3. A prioritized set of dates between September 2005 and January 2006. 4. A sample of completed work with SASE if you wish it returned. For more information please contact us. The Center's programs are supported by the Electronic Media and Film Program at the New York State Council on the Arts, Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology, the Media Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts, mediaThe foundation, NYS Challenge Grant Program, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Media Action Grant Program of Media Alliance, and by corporate support from Dave Jones Design and Black Hammer Productions and by the contributions of many individual artists.

SYNTAX ROOT: LOOP presents internationally renowned artists Chris Allen (The Light Surgeons), DJRabbi (Mark America, Chad Mossholder, Rick Silva, and Jutta Wolfert), Klaus Janek, and Alexander Perterhaensel (aka tilia), with screenings of films by DJRabbi and Samuel Beckett. A subtext of SYNTAX ROOT: LOOP looks at how narrative techniques such as montage and loop are creating a web of influence, connections and exchanges between media art, music, film and video. Criticizing the simple history of influence from novel to film, Sergei Eisenstein, Film Form (1977), considered the nineteenth-century novel a precursor for the cinematic imagination. A generation later Lev Manovich, The Language of New Media (2000), proposes that the loop be a new narrative form appropriate for the computer age. E:vent is delighted to welcome Maxa Zoller who will expand on these themes at a special drinks reception on the opening night. 18TH JUNE ?05, UNTIL 3RD OF JULY ?05 PRIVATE VIEW AND LIVE PERFORMANCE OF MUSIC AND MONTAGE 17TH JUNE 6PM UNTIL LATE! =================================== E:VENT [ PROMOTING EMERGENT PRACTICES IN CONTEMPORARY ART ] 96 TEESDALE STREET LONDON E2 6PU HTTP://WWW.EVENTNETWORK.ORG.UK ROOT at EVENTNETWORK.ORG.UK From doutorsocratesoreidofutebol at gmail.com Tue Jun 7 16:28:24 2005 From: doutorsocratesoreidofutebol at gmail.com (ricardo ruiz) Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 11:28:24 -0300 Subject: [NetBehaviour] +posting: : : FISL 6.0 : : : live streaming In-Reply-To: <42A4ECE9.1060209@furtherfield.org> References: <42A07D65.9090206@furtherfield.org> <42A4ECE9.1060209@furtherfield.org> Message-ID: marc i am not quite sure, but probably everything is stored somewhere. here http://www.softwarelivre.org/ you can find some posts about the conference, few pictures and a small tv archive. but, in a way, the 6th edition of the international festival on free software was much more interested in find ways for the FLOSS development meet the industries&big companies needs. let's hack it! 2005/6/6, marc : > Hi ricardo, > > OK - i'll just visit the next one (online for now) - is the event archived? > > marc > > > hi marc, how r you? > > i just saw your email now, i am in sao paulo, coming back to rio, so i > couldn't answer before.. > > i think it was ok with broadband... > > 2005/6/3, marc : > > > Hi ricardo, > > Can this work be seen by trad-modems/broadband etc... > > marc > > > > > = = = = = = = = = = > http://tv.softwarelivre.org/bin/view/TV/ > ============= > > live / ao vivo > > FISL 6.0 > Festival Internacional do Software Livre > > ::Porto Alegre, Brasil, 3 junho, 2005 > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > NetBehaviour at netbehaviour.org > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > NetBehaviour at netbehaviour.org > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > NetBehaviour at netbehaviour.org > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour > > > From sondheim at panix.com Tue Jun 7 16:56:28 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 10:56:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] breenga.mp3 Message-ID: solo acoustic guitar (slight chorus added) guitar: unidentified parlor guitar from 1890=1910 (I figure). the action is somewhat poor, since the guitar was modified somewhere along the line - the original bridge and tailpiece were replaced with a peg-bridge that has pulled on the spruce top. although the instrument is difficult to play, the sound is beautiful. this is based on a very short pentatonic riff which devolves into parallel fifths, augmented chords, and a number of major unadulterated chords. no picks were used. i'm very happy with this piece, which is one of my best. - alan http://www.asondheim.org/breenga.mp3 From heliopod at gmail.com Tue Jun 7 17:09:36 2005 From: heliopod at gmail.com (Jason Nelson) Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 01:09:36 +1000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] RESIDENCY: Eight of 24 artist interfaces: Hayles Message-ID: <33e11ba105060708092d3eabb@mail.gmail.com> Eight of 24 artist interfaces: >>>URL: http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/hayles.htm <<< Genre Defining Warbles by Katherine Hayles. Text Avoidance by Jason Nelson Where was this created? I love it when I find random wireless networks. While eating nachos and some fancy named sandwich with my girlfriend at a local cafe/restaurant/bar my computer signaled it had found some net juice. So we stayed long beyond the life of the nachos and I created this work from Katherine's genius ideas. Oddly, this interface I feel hits the meaning of the text exactly. But not having her books near me, I scoured the net for interviews and other bits. Some people in the booth behind us had an hour discussion about networking. Not our networking, but getting ahead in the sales business networking. I was going to record their voices and put them into this, but my microphone was too angry to work properly. By the way: A website is coming tomorrow with links to all the past creatures. Residency description: Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed, thrust, stolen, and borrowed from new media artists, poets and electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls.

It was not created as explicitly politically outward, but as a result of desire for more efficient and more radical internal political group work, desire for improvement, criticism and supplementation of methodologies, which made it possible for Indymedia to become a network with over one hundred branches within less then three years. At the same time, our aim is to establish an organizational platform which will enable consistent political engagement, without simultaneously destroying the potentials we are witnessing: dynamic and network operations, a high level of autonomy, solidarity through global use of resources, and above all, reproduction of cultural capital1 which constantly strengthens group and individual network participants. Of course, every definition of politics contains power, i.e. social relations established by it. Since the theory and practice of models of organized work, including those related to Open organizations, deal also with methods controlling the distribution of power within organizations themselves, the question of the relation between internal and outward policies of organizations, at least according to our experience, is the very question of motives and wishes of those developing such theories. How else can we expect a consistent establishment of processes on global and regional level (maybe the state level, as a transitional one) , if we are not able to establish them on the group, organizational and network level? This is precisely the organizational issue presently being forced upon us, as a problem, from several directions of alter-globalisation2 movement: unions (which would, due to their shortsighted pragmatism, make a deal with the devil for their share) and the remnants of the left are pushing their closed and mostly strictly hierarchical model (whose flaws would fill in the rest of this text), while activists groups rooted in direct action offer an anarchist and politically disfunctional utopia (problems with invisible hierarchies, lack of responsibility lines, inability to act strategically, see the Joe Freeman text) which sometimes renders even the remnants of the classical leftists in Britain useful, which is a real achievement; credit for last years largest protest in the British history (two million people against the war in Iraq) is mostly given to the efficient organizing of classical parties and their activists included in the process on the occasion. Certainly, such organizational differences constantly produce conflicts, the last of which is currently growing3 here in Britain, on the issue of the European Social Forum - ESF which is to be held in London in the autumn. While the left still holds to their unchanged ideological principles, ignoring social changes, anarchy-based collectives practice a suicidal idea ? suicidal, since it blocks their development ? that there is a non-ideological position ? their position. more... http://www.open-organizations.org/view/Main/EssayOoIntroEng -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There are loads of groups cropping up out of the floorboards using free software, more than ever it seems - we do ourselves, as you probably know... Just been looking through the site estudiolivre - what about the code, will be accessible as well as the free software? I think that it's a great project - there are similar things happening in the UK, although yours looks pretty organized in contrast. marc >yeah, using floss for 1 1/2 year now. >we are mainly interested on FLOSS for media production. > >in http://estudiolivre.utopia.com.br we are developing a community for >media production on FLOSS in portuguese.

Festival predstavuje iba par zachytnych bodov, ktore som za svojho polrocneho pobytu v San Franciscu nasiel na scene pohybliveho obrazu - filmu a videa. V prostredi s inou tradiciou ma aj terminologia odlisny vyznam. Film neoznacuje narativne medium, tak ako by sme si to mohli predstavovat, o filme sa tu hovor? skor v terminoch media na celuloidovom pase, casto cisto vytvarnych kvalit. Aj video je tu chapane a uchopovane inak, ma svoju historiu ako demokraticke medium, ktore je dostupne ako vyjadrovaci prostriedok pre vsetkych. V pracach, s ktorymi som sa stretaval je pritomna kontinuita vyvoja od experimentalneho filmu, ako aj od zaciatkov videoartu v 60. rokoch.

"Every map can represent the topography of a mapped terrain only on certain scale. The festival represents only a few points of departure which i have found during my half-year residency in San Francisco in the scene of moving image - film and video. In a environment with different tradition the terminology has different meaning too. Film doesn't delineate only a narrative medium as we might assume, here they talk about film as a medium on celluloid film strip, often defined only by its visual qualities. The video is also understood and used differently, it has it's history as a democratic medium that is available to all as a means of expression. In the works that came across my way, the continuity of development from experimental film and sixties video-art was apparent. Film and video are mastered here the same way as natural language.

Piano and Piano Player by Jason Nelson Where was this created? Oklahoma. Around Christmas Time obviously. On an old upright piano that used to be in Wellington Kansas, but was shipped at the expense of some of the keys. The piano has that ill-sounding warmth you want for playing disturbing songs with your relatives. My niece and nephew were amazingly creative, given my directions of "go" and "stop". And of course all they didnt seem to care what I played on the piano which is perfect. If you like them, let me know and I'll pass that on to Liz and Chris. By the way: A website is coming tomorrow with links to all the past creatures. Residency description: Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed, thrust, stolen, and borrowed from new media artists, poets and electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls.

In the new issue, the editors live up to this motto and present a packed thematic section on new technologies' impact on the political practices of both individuals and groups: "The subjectivation of the net: post-media, networks, sharing". The hypothesis of "Multitudes" is that the new technologies -- above all mobile phones and the internet -- have radically changed the way we form ourselves and are formed by society, and has thus opened up new possibilities to bypass or even change the hegemonic media system established in the last century. Emmanuel Videcoq, Bernard Prince, and Matteo Pasquinelli all try to show that the collective actors of a post-media society once imagined by the philosopher Felix Guattari are taking shape. Thanks to "radical machines", it is now possible to bring resistance to the very centre of the "Techno Empire". Hypermedia theorist Jean Louis Weissberg spells out the implications of this development. In the article, "The financial crisis of mass media. 'I experiment, therefore I believe'", he interprets new models for direct production of information, and emerging forms of experimental media, as symptoms of the corrosion of the pyramidal model of media power. Weblogs and politically realistic video games are on the point of undermining the legitimacy of traditional media and entertainment. However, writes Weissberg, this new media landscape is not without its dangers. The negative extreme, represented by conspiracy theories and historical revisionism, are just as much part of the picture as the positive effects of a more diverse representation of competing points of view. Art critic Brian Holmes is also ambivalent. He reminds us of the fact that the internet was a military invention, and claims that it remains a control technology, overwhelmed and subverted by the constituent powers. However, it is the more enthusiastic tone that dominates among "Multitudes'" contributors. "Syndicate yourselves!" urges sociologist and activist Olivier Blondeau. Thanks to the syndication of contents -- for example via RSS feeds used by many weblogs -- it is now possible to create a common space without giving up the autonomy and individual character of any of the persons, groups, or sites involved, writes Blondeau. Political activism on the internet until now has been hampered by the solitude of cyberspace and the accompanying split between the digital world and the street. With the means of syndication, this gap can finally be bridged. "Media", Blondeau concludes, is the perfect name for this phenomenon, situated as it is between the intimacy of the individual weblog and the "extimacy" of the street. In a second thematic section, "Multitudes" brings out a previously unpublished article by Louis Althusser, in which the Marxist philosopher pursues his aim to break from the tradition of "dialectic materialism" and instead proposes a new approach: "mat?rialisme al?atoire" (aleatory materialism) or "a Marxism of encounter". Alongside Althusser's text -- written in 1986, four years before he died -- are several commentaries dealing with his later philosophy. Finally, in a more direct encounter with aesthetics, dance historian and theorist Myriam van Imschoot traces the debate on the ontology of performance art and dance back to Jacques Derrida's "Archive Fever", and tries to see what implications it has for the practical question of how to archive dance choreographies. Imschoot's article is accompanied by a collection of dance scores that illustrate how complex this art form is. In order not to petrify the gesture of dance, a choreographic archive, rather than reproducing the past, must be directed towards the future, towards new encounters between body and movement.

'Father of Happenings' Allan Kaprow was born in 1927. Nearly 40 years later, the art form he created continues to provoke questions about time, community and collective structures. His Happening FLUIDS involved constructing enclosures with ice blocks at various locations in Pasadena and Los Angeles. Kaprow recruited participants using billboards that displayed the FLUIDS score: "During three days, about twenty rectangular enclosures of ice blocks (measuring about 30 feet long, 10 wide and 8 high) are built throughout the city. Their walls are unbroken. They are left to melt". Groups of young people made his work a reality. They stacked blocks of ice, delivered by the Union Ice Company, into rectangular structures. Over the ensuing days, the ice structures melted. Photographs, film, the billboard score, the artist's notes and drawings, letters and press clippings document the ephemeral event. Now FLUIDS will occur for the second time. Ice structures will be built at three different sites across Basle, including Art Basel's headquarters building and the roof of the adjacent parking structure. Co-operating in the Happening are the Department of Art and Design at Basle University of Applied Science (Creative Art - Media Art Department), the art history seminars of Basle University, Basle and Lucerne University Departments of Art and Design, the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and the University of Weimar and Vienna. At the artist's request, students will spend two days in a workshop, devising strategies to realize the work. They will determine such particulars as how to co-ordinate delivery of the ice blocks, secure the necessary equipment and design of the structures. Thus they will create a Basle-specific, contemporary variant of the Happening, this time without the artist's direct involvement.

Another project by Hauser & Wirth Zurich London, appearing at Art Unlimited will be Martin Creed's set piece Work No. 372, Piano.

Fiber-optic networks capable of sending information at 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps are being rolled out around the world and under the oceans to connect everyone to everything. But getting information to pass from one high-speed network to another can be slowed by electronic switching technology. The new technology, described in a paper published Aug. 11 in the scientific journal Nano Letters, uses buckyballs glued together by a custom polymer, providing a way to create an optical switch. "Switches and routers do introduce latency," said Karl Lehenbauer, chief technology officer of broadband networking company Superconnect. "If the (data you request) has to pass through 15 to 20 routers, you can see a lag in response," he said. more... http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,64584,00.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Instead, the controversial post-9/11 law would be expanded to give the FBI new powers to demand documents from companies without a judge's approval, according to a vote late Tuesday by the Senate Intelligence committee. The final text of the Senate Intelligence committee's amendments was not immediately available (here's a draft dated last month), and reporters were barred from the secret session during which the vote was held. But the proposal appears to grant the FBI more power to seek information from banks, hospitals, libraries, and so on through "administrative subpoenas" without prior judicial oversight. The subpoenas are only supposed to be used for terrorism or clandestine intelligence cases. One other detail: the FBI may designate that the subpoenas are secret and punish disclosure of their existence with up to one year in prison (and five years if the disclosure is deemed to "obstruct an investigation.") In testimony in April, FBI director Robert Mueller said: "The administrative subpoena power would be a valuable complement to (existing) tools and provide added efficiency to the FBI's ability to investigate and disrupt terrorism operations and our intelligence gathering efforts." more... http://news.com.com/2061-10789_3-5736302.html?part=rss&tag=5736302&subj=news -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

"Humans may be able to mutate into supermen in the near future," said Yoshiyuki Sankai, professor and engineer at Tsukuba University who led the project. The 15-kilogram (33-pound) battery-powered suit, code-named HAL-5, detects muscle movements through electrical-signal flows on the skin surface and then amplifies them. It can also move on its own accord, enabling it to help elderly or handicapped people walk, developers said. The prototype suit will be displayed at the World Exposition that is currently taking place in Aichi prefecture, central Japan. Japan has seen a growing market for technology geared toward the elderly, who are making up an increasing chunk of the population as fewer younger Japanese choose to start families. more... http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050607/lf_afp/afplifestylejapante chnologyrobotelderly_050607141415;_ylt=A9FJqY0oA6d CoFwACAAmWccF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5bGVna3NhBHNlYwNzc3JlbA-- From heliopod at gmail.com Thu Jun 9 15:45:40 2005 From: heliopod at gmail.com (Jason Nelson) Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 23:45:40 +1000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Residency, because it is so damn cute Message-ID: <33e11ba1050609064528a1ac23@mail.gmail.com> Thought I would send this again just because it the songs are so damn cute and disturbing.

On an old upright piano that used to be in Wellington Kansas, but was shipped at the expense of some of the keys. The piano has that ill-sounding warmth you want for playing disturbing songs with your relatives. My niece and nephew were amazingly creative, given my directions of "go" and "stop". And of course all they didnt seem to care what I played on the piano which is perfect. If you like them, let me know and I'll pass that on to Liz and Chris.

URL: From sondheim at panix.com Fri Jun 10 04:00:57 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 22:00:57 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] Of Speech As of Number Message-ID: (marc, in case this doesn't go through directly - alan) Of Speech As of Number Number names in various languages (for example Japanese) alter in relation to their quantified; '3 books' and '3 people' may have different words for '3' altogether. In English, the number words are unary, however. However, and this relates to issues of analog/digital (which I continue of course to pursue), there are three 'speakings' of number, dependent on use: 1. 2118 = "two thousand, one hundred and eighteen" - indicative of _quantity._ For example: "There are two thousand, one hundred and eighteen bison on the island." Note the comma and connective may be omitted: "There are two thousand one hundred eighteen bison on the island." Think of this as the _indexical._ 2. 2118 - "twenty-one eighteen" - indicative of date (within a serial / linear construct). This is number as _sign._ For example: "In the year twenty-one eighteen, all large mammals, except for humans, will either be extinct or corralled." Note "twenty-one eighteen" is almost never written out as such; the usual expression would be "In the year 2118, all large mammals, except for humans, will either be extinct or corralled." Think of this as the _symbolic._ 3. 2118 - "two one one eight" - indicative of _identification_ For example: "I live at two one one eight Western Boulevard, near the Monument of Extinctions." Phone numbers and other identifications (credit card, social security) are usually spoken in this fashion. Think of this as the _ikonic._ In ikonic identification, quantity and seriality are irrelevant. The number is neither cardinal nor ordinal. In symbolic seriality, identification is based on quantity, only in the sense that quantity defines positionality; this is ordinal, not cardinal. In indexical quantity, identification and seriality are weakened; the quantity of bison (for the most part alone) is relevant. The number is cardinal. I am stretching Peirce's notion of signs here. Nevertheless, there is some hint of value on the horizon. Number trifurcates in the speaking; the specificity of 3 portends the specificity of the discrete, for example. What happens with decimals? Almost always, they are indicative of quantity, although one can imagine an identification number of the form, for example, "21.2.1.96" - which would be read "twenty-one point two point one point ninety-six." If the form is standard, one might eliminate the "point" as in "twenty-one two one ninety-six." If the numbers are more than two or three digits, for example "2134.9121.1." - the most likely speaking would be "two one three four point nine one two one point one." Telephone numbers of the form "(718)555-1235" are of this type, with the punctuation omitted: "seven one eight [pause] five five five [pause] one two three five." There are exceptions to all of these; I am concerned, however, with a general trend, at least in one language. _ From sondheim at panix.com Fri Jun 10 08:37:07 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 02:37:07 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] yes yes full of the natural world Message-ID: yes yes full of the natural world http://www.asondheim.org/fecundity.jpg we will build next to the mountains BUT BUTTE we will make the forests flourish again they will be better than ever each tree will have its tiny homeland with nothing to interfere with its life yes yes the natural world improves with every tree the natural world improves (i feel sorrow for the tiny tree the last of everything and surviving alone it speaks to all of those who are lonely and feeling despair at the mounting world) _ From sondheim at panix.com Sat Jun 11 00:47:35 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 18:47:35 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] FROM Message-ID: WE ARE ON THE WAY STOP WILL BE IN SANTA ANA TOMORROW EVENING STOP THE WEATHER HAS BEEN FINE AND THERE ARE LOW HILLS IN THE SKY I MEAN CLOUDS IN THE HILLS STOP IT IS NOT YET RAINING AND THERE ARE NO CLOUDS IT IS A CLOUDLESS SKY GETTING HOT WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE CAR STOP GIVE MY REGARDS TO THE USUAL CREW AND FORGIVE US THERE ARE FEW TELEGRAPHIC OUTPOSTS IN THE DESERT REGIONS WE WILL PASS THROUGH STOP IF ALL DOES NOT GO WELL IT WILL NOT BODE WELL AND WE WILL TAKE WELLS FARGO I THINK THAT IS HOW THEY SPELL IT IS IT NOT STOP NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN ETC I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH ETC STOP WE HAVE SEEN SOME RARE QUOTE GEESE UNQUOTE FOR WE ARE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT MANNER OF BIRD IF BIRD THEY BE THEY BE STOP ONE HAD A DEWLAP SIMILAR PERHAPS TO THAT OF A ROOSTER ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT DESCENDED QUOTE THE BARNYARD WAY UNQUOTE FOR SOME DAYS NOW EVER SINCE THE ALPACA INCIDENT STOP AZURE SENDS HER LOVE AND REGARDS AS WELL AND WE WILL SOON FESTOON AND BE IN TOUCH BEYOND OURSELVES STOP TO BE DELIVERED WITH RETURN GREETINGS AND CONFIRMATION OF ARRIVAL STOP From heliopod at gmail.com Sat Jun 11 02:27:38 2005 From: heliopod at gmail.com (Jason Nelson) Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2005 10:27:38 +1000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] RESIDENCY: Eleven of 24 artist interfaces: Potter Message-ID: <33e11ba1050610172770bfc914@mail.gmail.com> Eleven of 24 artist interfaces: >>>URL: http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/helen.htm <<< Light and Corner by Helen Potter.

I would like to think we, those of us who have met and played via these lists are a community. In fact, my personal benefits as a result of these lists have been immense. But I am puzzled by how many of the lists, certainly those that seem to center on digital writers, and poets have diminished. Webartery, screenburn and even this list have dwindled to only a few responses per day (I'm sure there are others before my time). Maybe some have migrated to other worlds, maybe others have been swamped with life, or maybe very simply the allure of such lists or even the genre itself has waned. So, what is going on? Is it simply that many have "retired", and we need to recruit new members to our fold, new ideas and such?

Many lists appear to be flourishing. Not flourishing as in luxuriant & flamboyant, gay & wonderful, saucy & spicy. I mean rank but constricted, wordy & woefully tedious. In a word: infibulated The language used (in the sense of unsuccessfully attempted) and especially on lists that cater to 'the writer', (or even worse: 'the digital writer') - which do not you will have noticed attract 'the story teller' or 'the illusionist' - is the language of the committee and the bureaucracy, the language of the borderline functionally literate, the language of the neo-non-Illuminati. The people writing to or on these lists are - as signalled by their lack of joy in language and/or their precocious lack of talent for writing - are, I say, servants of the system (any system), and smug paid-up members of the bourgeoisie (or wanting to be). In sum what is lacking on these lists are contributions from people who can write. Clever, amusing, insufferable people whose undefibrillated tachycardian heart attack prose overextends the mind, upsets the bilious stomach, bruises the ragged genitals - and nourishes the liver. Not much of THAT around. Paul Annear On 6/11/05, Jason Nelson wrote: > > I'm a bit concerned. I would like to think we, those of us who have met and > played > via these lists are a community.

So charged and hyperbolic. As if you've fallen weary of others, of yourself, of any sequenced words for asking, for tense and thin circles. I agree that these lists are often drowning in dumps, obsessive sendings, generative whims. And of course some do not posses your obvious charm and mastery, your talent for the flamer cliche'. But I imagine you've read nothing of mine, beyond small dips into a few digital creatures. And do not know (or most likely care) that many (or most) on this or other lists exist and publish in other less computerized worlds. Your standard list flame format did however inspire me to write a small paragraph. For you I did this and have posted, pasted it below. Oh and you have won yourself a prize for being one of the few to respond to my post. Please, my deares Paul, please do send me your address. One version of where things go. Wait. Wait until the last car leaves with the train. Rain handles itself, the old woman will say, an umbrella types and casts a reel. Calling from a booth in a field filled with water are the people you want to avoid. They might appear to be fishing. But look closely at their line and hook, their brief sequence of notes drawing your ear, and you will find them checking pockets for change. Stare the tracks down for crushed quarters. Hold the soaked ties in one hand and pull up on the rails. Fire makes things straight, the old woman will say, resined wood begins where everything begins. You will strain, recalling random seconds of past straining. And when you become worn and the ties sink into gravel, you should consider polishing your speech. Make the words appear as chairs or plush toys. Make each sentence repeat the structure of the first. Still your vibrating cords and collect rainwater in a mug that reads "World?s Greatest Suspension Bridge." But before you speak, before you take all of this far too far away, huddle with the superstars, those famous sounding names, stacked in feuding groups of eight or five. They won?t offer much warmth or soft places to fondle, but the station has closed, you?ve lost your wallet and the wise old woman wears her shawl like an iron gate. cheers, Jason --- paul.annear at gmail.com wrote: > Dear Lord Nelson of the Argonauts & List > > My observation is significantly different. > > Many lists appear to be flourishing.

I create interfaces and use others content. But with all the rest of my work (http://www.heliozoa.com or http://www.secrettechnology.com ) I do everything, all code, text, image, sound etc. I have never heard that Net Art disregards aesthetics. At times some Net Art does seem overly conceptual. But that seems more a problem of the net art world in general, than one germane to Net Art only. As far as the imbalance of poetry. When an author starts incorporating interactive gizmos, images, sounds, animations and all, they all become poetic texts. Sometimes the words do fall away, and sometimes they are crushed to the front.

Not bad for a college dropout who critics say may not even exist. Peter Lynds was having a rotten summer. He had quit a dead-end job at an insurance agency to go to college, but his first semester of physics and philosophy classes at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, was kicking his butt. He was still haunted by the memory of watching a friend drown eight years earlier (Lynds had nearly died trying to save him). So he spent the better part of August 1999 sitting on his mother's couch watching television. One of the bright spots in his life was that he'd recently fallen in love - with Einstein. Raiding the Wellington library, he pored over biographies like Denis Brian's Einstein: A Life and devoured explanations of the great theorist's work. One night he was watching the movie I.Q., with Walter Matthau as Einstein, Meg Ryan as his ditzy-yet-brainy niece, and Tim Robbins as a lovesick mechanic. When Robbins moves in on Ryan for a kiss, she attempts to fend him off with a 2,500-year-old paradox known as Zeno's dichotomy: Moving from point A to point B requires that you first cover half the distance, then half of the remaining distance, and so on - an insurmountable infinity of almost-theres that keeps you from point B. Robbins crashes through Zeno's logic by kissing Ryan anyway. It was just the thing to get Lynds off the couch: What if Zeno's real lesson isn't that movement from point A to point B is impossible (obviously it isn't), but rather that there is no such thing as a discrete slice of time? He went back to school that fall with the fervor and the audacity of the converted. During an office-hours argument with physicist David Beaglehole, Lynds pointed at the professor's coffee mug and demanded to know: At what "instant" would the mug not be moving if he dragged it across the desk? Exasperated, Beaglehole suggested that Lynds try to get his theory published, thinking that rejection from an academic journal would put the matter to rest. Sure enough, Physical Review Letters, which published Einstein, said no thanks ("The author's arguments are based on profound ignorance or misunderstanding of basic analysis and calculus," one referee said). Foundations of Physics Letters didn't respond. A third journal, in Canada, said yes, and then sent him a bill - it was a vanity press. Lynds withdrew. But then something extraordinary happened. Lynds called Foundations to ask for his manuscript and was told the journal had no record of his paper. So he sent it again. It got rejected. Lynds revised it and submitted it a third time ... and they said yes. The paper was published in August 2003, and Lynds became a celebrity. He was cheered (and jeered) on physics discussion Web sites. Big-name researchers talked to the press about his work. Conference invitations started pouring in. Then again, the 30-year-old Lynds is holed up in a rustic New Zealand cabin, working on a theory-of-everything book that has no publisher. He still hasn't finished college. If that sounds a little too Unabomber for a new kind of science, well, maybe it is. Then again, Lynds might be right. more... http://wired.com/wired/archive/13.06/physics.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls.

( and they always are *utterly* self regarding -if there were even nuggets of insight into others contained within the general 'look at me' unpleasantness it'd be easier to tolerate) Attention only gives them an exagerrated sense of their place in the scheme of things. Its easier just to filter them out & I find, better for the blood pressure and for time management of the things I actually *want* & *need* to get on with.

Automatic surveillance and self-guided missiles? Consumer profiling and CNN? To investigate answers to this question Lev Manovich - one of today?s most influential thinkers in the fields of media arts and digital culture ? has paired with award-winning new media artist and designer Andreas Kratky to create the Soft Cinema project. They have also invited contributions from leaders in other cultural fields: DJ Spooky, Scanner, George Lewis and J?hann J?hannsson (music), servo and Andreas Angelidakis (architecture), Schoenerwissen/Office for Computational Design (data visualization), and Ross Cooper Studios (media design). SOFT CINEMA: Navigating the Database is the Soft Cinema project?s first DVD published and distributed by The MIT Press (2005). Although the three films presented on the DVD reference the familiar genres of cinema, the process by which they were created and the resulting aesthetics fully belong to the software age. They demonstrate the possibilities of soft(ware) cinema - a 'cinema' in which human subjectivity and the variable choices made by custom software combine to create films that can run infinitely without ever exactly repeating the same image sequences, screen layouts and narratives. 'Mission to Earth' is a science fiction allegory of the immigrant experience. It adopts the variable choices and multi-frame layout of the Soft Cinema system to represent ?variable identity?. 'Absences' is a lyrical black and white narrative that relies on algorithms normally deployed in military and civilian surveillance applications to determine the editing of video and audio. 'Texas' is a ?database narrative?, which assembles its visuals, sounds, narratives, and even the identities of its characters from multiple databases. The DVD was designed and programmed so that there is no single version of any of the films. All the elements ? including screen layout, the visuals and their combination, the music, the narrative, and the length ? are subject to change every time the film is viewed. The development of Soft Cinema project was made possible by the commissions from ZKM Center for Art and Media and the BALTIC, The Centre for Contemporary Art. The resulting computer-driven installations and films have been exhibited in museums, galleries, media and film festivals around the world, including ZKM, Karlsruhe; the ICA, London; SENEF, Seoul; the ICC, Tokyo; DEAF, Rotterdam, Transmediale, Berlin; and Chelsea Art Museum, New York. Lev Manovich is the author of The Language of New Media (The MIT Press, 2001) which is hailed as "the most suggestive and broad ranging media history since Marshall McLuhan." He is Professor of Visual Arts, University of California, San Diego and a researcher at California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology . Andreas Kratky has been responsible for media design and co-direction of a number of groundbreaking new media projects, including the award-winning DVDs That?s Kyogen and Bleeding Through ? Layers of Los Angeles 1920-1986 (both published by ZKM).

What will be the future of print media? http://netartreview.net/weeklyFeatures/2005_05_22_archive.html ARTISTS AND MAPPING:Situationism and Locative Media BY:: Ana Boa-Ventura The Situationists were no different from the Dadaists and the Surrealists in their desire to suppress art. Art and culture should be part of everyday life, and it is an interesting component of recent art, that the Situationist International is often associated with emerging locative media, ubiquitous computing and urban life. http://netartreview.net/weeklyFeatures/2005_05_29_archive.html PROJECT::Netzfunk BY: Ignacio Nieto Netzfunk grupo de personas que trabaja el arte del silencio, est? produciendo en Santiago de Chile, hasta finales de Junio, un taller de tecnolog?as suaves para el postgrado de Est?tica de la Universidad de Chile. El objetivo principal del taller es transgredir la mirada apol?tica que se tiene sobre objetos tecnol?gicos, alterando su utilidad funcional a una discursividad pol?tica. OTHER*PROJECTS::Mobile Research and the Asian Space BY::Molly Hankwitz Cross cultural collaboration drives much of the compelling creative communications in Oceania and Southeast Asia. Networked art plays between national spaces and is recognized with great interest for this reason. Projects such as Fibreculture, Multimedia Arts Asia Pacific and Seoul 'Media City' link artists, theorists, researchers and cultural policy-makers from the disparate geographies. The degree, however, to which net artists can play any role in the development of 'communications' networks is an area of art and technology (despite low-budget 'wi fi')that remains to be seen. Currently: http://netartreview.net ART AND MOBILE TECH::PROJECTS REVIEW:: Speakers Corner Revisited or Sound and Free Speech in the City BY::Ana Boa-Ventura Its authors call it a mobile sculpture. One Free Minute relies on a sculptural object that looks like one of those tabletop vintage record players. This project is about public discourse, and the ways in which it has been affected by technology. It turns the private world of the cell phone up on its head, and adds an element of 'free speech'. The first performance date: Friday June 3, 5-7PM EST, at the Oval of the Ohio State University. ----------- This month Net Art Review Features ::NET.TEN:: \\Online Selections// BY: Sala-manca This month Net Art Review invites sala-manca, a collaborative based in Jerusalem to recommend ten online resources to our readers. http://netartreview.net/monthly/06051.html FEATURE.REVIEW: Blogtalk DownUnder BY Mark R. Hancock The proliferation of blogs over the past few years has been incredible. Most people who have an Internet connection know at least one person who authors a blog, or they, themselves, maintain and write one. In a few short years, blogs topics have covered the gamut from pregnancy to hypertext theory . http://netartreview.net/monthly/06052.html FEATURE.INTERVIEW: Ignacio Nieto Interviews Simon Schiessl Simon Schiessl: My work is mainly about physical objects. I am not so much interested in working within the medium "computer" - It is more about generating complex installations in which data processing is just one part among others. In most of my pieces I try to avoid standard user interfaces: the 3:4 computer screen; mouse; keyboard; and, including underlying operating systems, as I feel limited by them. In fact, I don't like personal computers, but I do like circuits. http://netartreview.net/index.php FEATURE.REVIEW: Action = to activate the image BY Ana Vald?s Actions are based on response and collaboration. The action includes the process - the joining of the elements and the events that take place, and the result - the work of art including its encounter with the participants and/or audience, and its connection to the original situation, the source of the work. http://netartreview.net/monthly/06054.html n an ongoing collaboration, this month NAR features another .PDF originally published in a minima:: No.11, a media and contemporary art publication based in Spain.

Jason Nelson is fragmented and frostbit(ed) Where was this created? Reiner specifically sent me these photos after reading the last line of my bio: "so miss the snow". I will post them all later, as they truly fire yearning and lust for colder days. I created much of this outside in the backyard. I tried to tie up a hammick, but the trees limbs were too high and the ants seemed to leap to my softest parts. So, there in a chair, on the concrete bit beneath the twirly laundry gizmo, I created this. I have obviously slowed down in creating. As I am tending to put more work into them. But honestly, at times I almost want to stop. The pressure of making everyday, of setting aside hours to create, can be exhausting. But hopefully this training will build some stamina for future endeavours. Residency url: http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/residency.htm (UPDATED) Residency description: Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed, thrust, stolen, and borrowed from new media artists, poets and electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls. I could list those academic and worldly accolades that have trophied themselves on my work, but I am only as good as the last swirling mess I spit out. I live in Australia with a beautiful woman and miss the snow, so miss the snow."

An insouciant creature known in these parts as a bird that eats roots and leaves. A bird of the night on the verge of extinction. May I suggest that a rational analysis of the situation would throw into the mix the possibility that the contributions objected to are not flaming or 'ad-hom' attacks ... but rather that it might seem to the disinterested observer from some other autophagic star system that the violently erratic and paranoid responses have some characteristics that are scarily sociopathic. Let me say unequivocally that I LOVE the idea of '... a month on flamers and general ad-hom attacks. Basically covering the art of attacks and such. Paul Annears [sic] is a recent example, although there are much better artists out there for this'. ('Out there' used to have a certain cachet amongst the stoner classes but its present mass usage reminds me of the time - was it the late seventies? - when with a bewildering suddenness every traffic cop in New Zealand had the same moustache.) I would like to emphasize that The Paul Annears are in at least temporary abeyance and in some disarray due to a recent series of inappropriate grandstanding incidents - some would call them flaming attacks - by a renegade faction of The Paul Annears who embarrassingly don't even understand what flaming is. As the matter is sub judice I won't mention any names. One of The Paul Annears - this one - feels that the situation has gone way beyond a joke and has stepped in in a hopefully unfutile attempt to restore the high esteem formerly enjoyed by this multi-personality self-regarding web-monster. This one of the The Paul Annears prefers to apply herhimself hermaphroditically to The Concise Model of the Universe, among other projects (and do please keep an eye open for www.do-it-yourself-porn.net). I, if I may be for a moment be so egocentric, would be very pleased to see this event of universal appeal ('... a month of flaming and general attacks via e-mail etc....') on any list that encourages mind-numbingly pseudo-intelligent comment and body-piercing eye-watering observation, along with unmediated and excessive self-flagellation. It would have to be an open list, I think. Those with fragile unegos are safer on moderated lists. Unfortunately it has been my observation over a number of years that there is a strong tendency to carpet-chewing mouth-frothing Schicklgruberian tantrums in the ranks of unselfregarding people who feel that their unlist, or their uncontribution, or their unego is under attack, but that is totally understandable and if somebody attacked me in such an amusing way I wouldn't find it at all funny either. Finally, and in a blaze of photoshoped new sunrise, an open invitation to all freedom-loving web-ers, to contribute to the (unmoderated) zeitgeist. Visit The Concise Model of the Universe (www.xxos.net if you didn't know that already), enable pop-ups because as The Model is concise it all fits in one elastic window, click on the look-at-me red '+' symbol on the site tool bars, take a moment to register (so you can get back in easily later - no credit card required) and add your own peculiar understanding of what is going on to what is going on. I look forward to your contributions be they flaming, frigid, fecund, flaccid, flatulent, funny, formicatious, or (to introduce you to a Maori word) whatever. A Paul Annear -- Paul Annear www.xxos.net 12 June 2005 6:28 PM My Dearest Paul, Your creative flame inspired the pasted text below. One version of where things go. Wait. Wait until the last car leaves with the train. Rain handles itself, the old woman will say, an umbrella types and casts a reel. Calling from a booth in a field filled with water are the people you want to avoid. They might appear to be fishing. But look closely at their line and hook, their brief sequence of notes drawing your ear, and you will find them checking pockets for change. Stare the tracks down for crushed quarters. Hold the soaked ties in one hand and pull up on the rails. Fire makes things straight, the old woman will say, resined wood begins where everything begins. You will strain, recalling random seconds of past straining. And when you become worn and the ties sink into gravel, you should consider polishing your speech. Make the words appear as chairs or plush toys. Make each sentence repeat the structure of the first. Still your vibrating cords and collect rainwater in a mug that reads "World's Greatest Suspension Bridge." But before you speak, before you take all of this far too far away, huddle with the superstars, those famous sounding names, stacked in feuding groups of eight or five. They won't offer much warmth or soft places to fondle, but the station has closed, you've lost your wallet and the wise old woman wears her shawl like an iron gate. 13 June 2005 11:39 PM Kiwi Paulie, Aside from being ignorant of what flame means in this context, you should look into the work of gabriel gudding and other humorists, and roasters. Although you do attempt to capture and perfect the ad-hominem attack, that vague glancing whatever, you are too reliant on non specifics. Just merely saying "calls himself a poet" isnt really a specific enough. So find some of my poetry. In fact I have a poem coming out in the next issue of Meanjin, you know one of our regional (I'm in Australia) journals. Actually support poetry by purchasing a literary journal, and then read the poem. Then I suppose you can critique and flame out on it. Or check out this project: http://www.heliozoa.com/speech/speechtext.html Read the George Bush poems under political speeches or the other works..(matrix is the works of the bunch) and please comment. Then please do send some of your poetry along. Please. I looked at your site, but found nothing that resembles poetry. So.... If you have such an amazing understanding of poetry I would love to bring you over to Australia to one of the festivals I help organize. cheers, Jason 13 June 2005 11:45 PM Paul, I've been asked to be one of the moderators for the Empyre list starting soon. And I was thinking of having a month of flaming and general attacks via e-mail etc.... Perhaps you would have some thoughts on who to get involved. Jason 13 June, 2005 11:49 PM All, I've been asked to be a moderator on the Empyre list and I was thinking of having a month on flamers and general ad-hom attacks. Basically covering the art of attacks and such. Paul Annears is a recent example, although there are much better artists out there for this. Does anyone recall who that was who did this on the poetics list and was removed? Or how about the webartery kid who was removed for some vague personal attacks. Jason 14 June 2005 12:32 AM Paul, Just wanted to offer a truce. To be honest with you I found your posts amusing. I honestly dont think you have read any of my work, or it seems much. And now I realize that you have been banned from at least one list (empyre) and maybe others. So, why not attempt to make some real contacts and play a bit. Perhaps something for the residency. Or you can continue blasting away. Either way.

Part workshop, part festival, it is organised in Bergen, Norway, by the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) [2] and involves participants from more than a dozen countries exchanging ideas, coding, presenting art and software projects, doing workshops, performances and discussions on the aesthetics and politics of open source. Piksel05 will take place in Bergen october 16. - 23. 2005. The development, and therefore use, of digital technology today is mainly controlled by multinational corporations. Despite the prospects of technology expanding the means of artistic expression, the commercial demands of the software industries severely limit them instead. Piksel is focusing on the open source movement as a strategy for regaining artistic control of the technology, but also a means to bring attention the close connections between art, politics, technology and economy. One of the results of the past Piksel events is the initiation of the Piksel Video Framework for 'interoperability between various free software applications dealing with video manipulation techniques'[3]. Piksel05 will also feature the release of the Piksel LiveCD[4], a Linux distribution containing the software used and developed at Piksel. The package contains a suite of innovative audiovisual and artistic software, free video plugins, and documentation from the past Piksel events. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| open CALL for PARTICIPATION The last two Piksel events has focused on live art/audiovisual performance, but for Piksel05 the main focus will be an exhibition in collaboration with Hordaland Kunstsenter[5]. For the exhibition and other parts of the program we are interested in submissions in the following categories: 1. Installations and interactive work Audiovisual installations created and run solely using open source software. The theme for the exhibition will be loosely related to 'games' and the gaming experience. 2. Audiovisual performance Live art realised by the use of open source software. 3. Software Innovative artistic tools or software art released under an open licence.

I think what is really different about brazil and free software is this social/independent/grassroots/governmental mixture. as there are no art funders, most museums work as public departments. most activists and groups working with technology are now converging to gov. cause that is where (little) money is, I mean where projects can be developed. if you are not in gov. you are in the academia, that also very little converse with artists and media researchers.

In the uk, it is more artists in group context who are using linux, and individual artists use commercial applications. Although there is a younger generation here who are now discovering what they can get out of using free software and free code. I myself, use linux but also use other operating systems - mainly because our set up here has to be adaptive, due to artists/groups working in different OS's. Our techi, Giles was a manic Microsoft user, plus many of his friends - then he suddenly wanted to learn linux, so now he's obseessed and setting up all kinds of linux projects in our space here file servers etc... Sometimes, if a project conceptually or just practically needs to happen sooner - we use commercial apps. VisitorsStudio, as far as we are concerned had to be pearl & flash - but we are working on alternatives for the future... Yes- this shift with apple into using intel-compatible computers, is an old idea which kind of showed the political difference, between companies, may be they moving in the same direction now - becoming similar. What I like about free software and code, is the social and ethical context that comes with it. And if more artists began to work with linux, maybe as (subtle) a side project at the same time, as still using their other apps, i think that they will realise how it changes the consciousness of practice and why politically such a thing is important, in this ever more restrictive and corporate dominated world... marc > >but now developers are asking for food, and need to have more money to >eat something instead of pizza. they are right, but on brazilians >freesoftware mail lists, what people are really discussing now is how >to develop a model of make freesoftware sustainable without making an >alliance with the devil. > >other common question is what is the feedback of new >users/clients/people on social projects for the FLOSS community, but i >think that this feedback will be supplied (specially on social & >artistic projects) on a not-so-far future, when people realize what is >the real difference on using free software > >a good new is that it has finished last friday here in rio de janeiro >the regional meeting of latin america & caribe for the summit of the >information society, in Tunnis.

Promoted this year as a joint effort by the Slovenian and Italian OpenOffice.org language projects, the conference provides the opportunity for the community to meet the developers, contributors, marketers, and others who are making OpenOffice.org one of the most important open-source projects and products today. If you have been thinking about coding for OpenOffice.org and want tips, now is your chance; curious about OpenOffice.org's XML potential? Want to write extensions? Plug ins? Then come to the conference! Indeed if you are not technically minded but want to join a great community come along and find out why so many people are switching to OpenOffice.org. We have posted the call for papers (CFP) and are soliciting presentations from the general OpenOffice.org community (and then some) for papers concerning the development of OpenOffice.org to its marketing; from the global politics of free software to the technicalities of localizing OpenOffice.org. To see all the tracks open and to obtain the template for submissions, as well as to request travel assistance, visit: * 250-word abstracts in English must be submitted to callforpapers at openoffice.org by 10 July 2005. We ask that you use our template for your abstract. It can be found on the CFP page.

Jason Nelson is bad a paperwork WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? I found out this morning that the IRS sent my parents (my US address) a ten page letter detailing that I owe five thousand dollars in US taxes. Some of that is from grants I received as a new media artist, which were spent on making, creating, buying soft/hard/net wares. But because they do not see New Media artwork as a viable art practice, and honestly due to my poor paperwork skills, I owe them money. I currently make Australian dollars, which are nice and plastic, with pretty queen pictures. But they dont translate well the USA rate. So, I am frazzled from searching for forms and evidence of my artistic creation, of my validity as an artist. Therefore one of my future residency interfaces will be my collaboration with the IRS!!!!!!!!!!!! other soons. Residency url: http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/residency.htm (UPDATED) Residency description: Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed, thrust, stolen, and borrowed from new media artists, poets and electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls. I could list those academic and worldly accolades that have trophied themselves on my work, but I am only as good as the last swirling mess I spit out. I live in Australia with a beautiful woman and miss the snow, so miss the snow."

In 2006 it will be held in conjunction with the ISEA2006 Symposium. See http://isea2006.sjsu.edu for more information about the Festival and Symposium. ABOUT THE COMMUNITY DOMAIN CALL Over the next year leading up to August 2006, individuals or groups will be commissioned to work with various San Jose communities combining technologies such as GPS, mobile communications or digital imagery to map their experiences and to tell their stories. These experiences and stories will become part of the fabric of the festival. In this way, the Festival becomes not only a glimpse of the possibilities of art and technology, but using some of those same innovative technologies, it is a celebration of the diversity found in San Jose and a platform for community members to participate. A wide range of cultural contexts, media, art disciplines and venues are feasible within the definition of "Community Domain". See http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/thematic.html#community for more about the theme. San Jose has a very diverse and hybrid population. , and we are particularly interested in projects that traverse different communities. Three commissions will be offered for projects related to the Community Domain theme: one at a level of $25,000 and two at the level of $5,000. Proposals may be submitted by individuals or groups: professional artistic credentials and advanced forms of technology are not required. The proposal narrative should be no more than three pages in length and should cover five topics: Description of the project: What are the characteristics of the project? In what ways will the project connect to the theme of Community Domain? Audience: In what fashion will an audience be engaged in this project? In what ways will the project seek to engage audience members of varying cultural backgrounds? Technology: What types of technology will be incorporated into the project? Personnel: Please identify the key individuals/groups involved in this project, and their qualifications. Budget: Please provide a brief explanation of how funds will be used to support this project. Special Considerations: Projects will be welcome in a variety of traditional or new forms of art, media and physical environments. For example, projects in formal theater or exhibition settings or informal community or outdoor settings will be appropriate. All art forms are welcome including literary, performing, visual, media and multidisciplinary. Appropriate forms of technology include, but are not limited to, mobile communications, Worldwide Web, recorded audio or video, film, robotics and digital imagery. Projects involving teams and collaboration are encouraged. All projects should incorporate an element of "shared space" that will be accessible to persons of varied backgrounds. Preference will be given to projects involving artists and other personnel having significant familiarity with the communities and cultures of San Jose and Silicon Valley. TIMELINE Proposals must be submitted by August 1, 2005. Proposals will only be accepted online at http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/submissions. All proposals will be reviewed by a panel of distinguished authorities on culture, art, technology, and community. Final awards will be announced by September 1, 2005. All awards are subject to ZeroOne San Jose's fundraising efforts. INQUIRIES Questions regarding this call for proposals can be addressed to communitydomain at yproductions.com PLEASE NOTE There will be a subsequent call, beginning September 1, 2005, for existing projects related to the Community Domain theme that do not, necessarily, focus on San Jose / Silicon Valley. http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/ http://isea2006.sjsu.edu./calls.html http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/communitydomain1/ -- Steve Dietz Director, ZeroOne: The Network Director, ISEA2006 Symposium + ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge http://isea2006.sjsu.edu : August 5-13, 2006 stevedietz[at]yproductions[dot]com AIM: WebWalkAbout http://www.yproductions.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This grant has been available for a few years, and the levels of applications are worryingly low, especially from musicians outside of the London area. We are looking for small news pieces and radio mentions so we can let more people know about this wonderful opportunity to indulge their artistic talents, increase the diversity of UK culture, and get paid for it. Regional coverage will be very important for this project as we know there are many people out there who just aren't hearing about this money. This is an appeal to life outside London! If you have been so kind as to post information about this award already, I would be very grateful to hear about it. If you think *we might benefit from a second posting* that would also be considered as *a wonderful service to music-kind*. _More Information about the award_: This money could be used for anything from a live PA as part of a club night or as a small part of the funding towards a grander scale event. Applicants can be individual artists or collaborators but they do need to be working closely with a promoter/organisation/club or with a sound system that will help them deliver their chosen performance. Previous recipients of Live Connections grants including: Kreepa, BrianDuffy, Plaid, Adam Freeland, London Elektricity and I am the Mighty Jungulator, have been able to put on dynamic and unusual performances, from electro-acoustic installations to full-on techno and breakbeat events. /"Thanks to support from The PRS Foundation we were able to rehearse and promote our show extensively which contributed to us selling out the Jazz Caf? in Camden on a Tuesday night! We devised a method of playing our drum and bass show completely live, because it became clear when we were rehearsing that relying on playback from computers or sequencers would take away some of the energy and excitement of the live performance. Although I was a bit nervous about delivering a completely live performance I think it really paid off as we had a fantastic response from the audience. We aimed to break new ground in live electronic music with our show and, with the help of the PRS Foundation, we definitely succeeded."/ Tony Colman, London Elektricity For more information, or if you think you can *plug this grant or publicise it in any way,* Please contact Kate Macdonald: kate at lumin.org *KATE MACDONALD* *LUMIN* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A cross between Big Brother and Andy Warhol's 'Sleep', the transmission will be both an unedited presentation of daily life at the CFU as well as a choreographed and occasionally interactive series of events, talks, television, poetry, mess, music and waste. Aiming to examine the conditions of television in the context of cinema, the relationships between desire, information, capital and entertainment, the event will be a 12-hour long window of investigation allowing both the audience and those making the broadcast to explore an alternative structure and mode of engagement. The auditorium will be accessible throughout the day with a single ticket. You can receive the broadcast schedule in advance by leaving your email address at: www.copenhagenfreeuniversity.dk The Copenhagen Free University opened in May 2001 in the flat of Henriette Heise and Jakob Jakobsen. It is an artist run institution dedicated to the production of critical consciousness and poetic language: "We do not accept the so-called new knowledge economy as the framing understanding of knowledge. We work with forms of knowledge that are fleeting, fluid, schizophrenic, uncompromising subjective, uneconomic, acapitalist, produced in the kitchen, produced when asleep or arisen on a social excursion - collectively" Utopia LIVE is organised by Jakob Jakobsen, Emma Hedditch, Henriette Heise and others.

In a complaint filed by attorneys from the Center for Democracy & Technology and the ACLU of Utah, the plaintiffs challenged House Bill 260, which contains numerous provisions that infringe on the right of Internet users to publish and receive wholly lawful content . Prior to the law's passage and signing, CDT had warned leaders of the Utah legislature and the Utah Governor that the bill had serious problems and would likely face a constitutional challenge if enacted. The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is an independent bookstore in Salt Lake City, The King's English Bookshop, which sells books through its website in competition with national online book retailers. If the Utah law is allowed to stand, the bookstore would face criminal charges for advertising and selling a range of lawful books. The June 9, 2005 complaint against H.B. 260 is available at http://www.cdt.org/speech/utahwebblock/20050609hb260complaint.pdf For a March 2005 analysis of the Utah law, see http://www.cdt.org/speech/20050307cdtanalysis.pdf. _____________________________________________ (2) Utah Law Suffers from Constitutional Defects and Fails to Protect Children Online One of the challenged sections of House Bill 260 makes it a crime to make content that is "harmful to minors" available to minors over the Internet. Because web sites have no practical way to prevent access to web content by minors, the Utah law means that anyone who posts adult-oriented content -- including educational materials on how to avoid sexually-transmitted diseases and other highly valuable speech -- could face criminal charges in Utah. This part of the bill is very similar to the federal Communications Decency Act (CDA), which struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1997. In that case, the Court declared that speech on the Internet deserves the highest level of constitutional protection, and that the government could not adopt rules for Internet web sites that would reduce all content on the Internet to a level suitable for children. The Supreme Court also concluded that the availability of filtering software that parents could install was a "less restrictive" alternative way to protect children online. As CDT has long argued, such user-based filtering software is a far more effective way to protect children online, and does so without interfering with adults' right to access lawful content. For more information on filtering software: http://www.GetNetWise.org ____________________________________________ (3) Law Will Lead to Blocking of Access to Broad Range of Lawful Content Other parts of the challenged Utah law are very similar to a Pennsylvania statute that CDT successfully challenged in 2004. Like the Pennsylvania law, the Utah law requires ISPs to block access to content designated by the state Attorney General. The Utah law specifically indicates that ISPs can use "IP Address blocking" to comply with the law. As shown in the Pennsylvania litigation, however, blocking the IP (Internet Protocol) address of an undesirable website can block access to a massive number of lawful web sites that innocently share the same address. In the Pennsylvania case, CDT showed that, in an effort to block access to fewer than 400 objectionable web sites, the ISPs ended up blocking access to more than 1 million other unrelated -- and perfectly legal -- sites. The Utah law is in fact more problematic than the Pennsylvania law, because the Utah law does not even require that a judge be involved in the decision to block access to a web site. Under the challenged Utah law, the state Attorney General can designate web sites for blocking, with no oversight by any court. The plaintiffs in the case have asked the U.S. District Court to declare the Utah law unconstitutional and to enjoin its enforcement.

Walter Benjamin in his essay OEThe Author as Producer', written in 1934, recommends that the OEcultural producer? intervene in the production process in the manner of an engineer. The term OEengineer? is to be taken broadly to refer to technical and cultural activity, through the application of knowledge for the management, control and use of power. To act as an engineer in this sense, is to use power productively to bring about change and for public utility. This collection of essays and examples of contemporary cultural practices asks if this general line of thinking retains relevance for cultural production at this point in time - when activities of production, consumption and circulation operate through complex global networks served by information technologies.

My name is Richie McLean, and I am an artist/writer/musician/multimedia artist from Melbourne, Australia. I have studied Fine Art and CAAD, and have worked for the two major newspapers here in Melbourne. I have also written an autobiographical art book, 'Recovered, Not Cured, a journey through schizophrenia', which has been release in North America this month. I will be having an exhibition of prints from the book at: www.gallerygora.com, Montreal, in August. My online portfolio, my band (which includes two others as a folk rock 3-piece), and information on the Human rights awards winning book is available on my webpage, www.richiemclean.com, which I invite you to peruse! I have also nearly finished a new project that aims to celebrate diversity amongst 'normal people'-by interviewing them digitally over 6 images I have drawn, and posting their stories. It is called 'Truth, Shock and Context'. The interviews are available for download, and snapshots of each interview will be provided online in the next week. What do these people have in common? -An 88 year old married pensioner -A christian psycho-social mental health worker, -A Gay porn star, -A (Gay) Married lesbian mother of two, -A Mentally ill gallery owner, -A Bilingual pop artist from Thailand? Find out this and more at my personal webpage, www.richiemclean.com! I hope you get the chance to peruse my online world, and I look forward to being a part of the netbehaviour.com revolution!

Shamim first proposed the idea of a refugee march to Ottawa in the summer of 2003. Unfortunately, Shamim and her family (including 4 children) were deported in the summer of 2004. We march almost one year later with Shamim very much in mind, as well as all our other friends and allies who have been removed, detained, forced underground or forced into sanctuary in the past years: Wendy Maxwell, Sergio Loreto, the Cordoza family, the Daschevi family, Zahoor Hussein, Fahim Kayani, Tilo Johnson, Daniel and Irina Isakov, Mohamed Cherfi, Ahmad Nafaa, Ahmed Abdel Majeed, Faraz Abu Zimal, Ali Naqvi, the Ibad family, the Butt family, the Syed family, Dawood Khan, Eduardo Perez, Gorka Salazar, Mourad and Nadia, the Vega family, the Borja family, the Ayoub family, the Ayele family, Sanya Pecelj, Samsu Mia, Amir Kazemian, Kobra and Hassan, Adrian Dragan, Mohammad Mahjoub, Mahmoud Jaballah, Hassan Almrei, Mohamed Harkat, Adil Charkaoui and many, too many, more. For every arbitrary detention, for every summary deportation, for every minute spent in jail without charge or trial, for ever anxious and dehumanizing day spent waiting for status -- all the days, months, years that the government has stolen from us -- we will take back minute by minute, with every step, on our march from Montreal to Ottawa. Join us and take back stolen time.

This is the Amendment, passed after four terms of Franklin Roosevelt scared the bejesus out of Republicans, limiting a President to two terms in office. The legislators apparently believe that with continued Republican gains in Congress, they may be in a position to change the Constitution by 2006, in time to extend Bush's benevolent work.

For a researcher who starts studying weblogs getting hands-on experience in blogging may be a natural step, either as part of learning about new phenomenon, as a way to engage in conversations with other weblog researchers or as a conscious choice for participatory research methods. In either case the lines between the "blogger who does research" and the "researcher who blogs" are getting blurred. In this presentation Lilia Efimova will provide an overview of the weblog research field and talk about the different shapes and colours of academic blogging.

Bush has threatened to veto any measure that weakens those powers. The surprise 238 to 187 rebuke to the White House was produced when a handful of conservative Republicans, worried about government intrusion, joined with Democrats who are concerned about personal privacy. One provision of the Patriot Act makes it possible for the FBI to obtain a wide variety of personal records about a suspected terrorist -- including library transactions -- with an order from a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, where the government must meet a lower threshold of proof than in criminal courts. Under the House change, officials would have to get search warrants from a judge or subpoenas from a grand jury to seize records about a suspect's reading habits. Some libraries have said they are disposing of patrons' records more quickly because of the provision, which opponents view as a license for fishing expeditions. House Administration Committee Chairman Robert W. Ney (Ohio), one of three House Republicans who opposed the Patriot Act when it was enacted in 2001, voted yesterday to curtail agents' power to seize the records. "Everybody's against terrorism, but there has to be reason in the way that we fight it," Ney said. "The government doesn't need to be sifting through library records. I talked to my libraries, and they felt very strongly about this." The Justice Department said in a letter to Congress this week that the provision has been used only 35 times and has never been used to obtain bookstore, library, medical or gun-sale records. It has been used to obtain records of hotel stays, driver's licenses, apartment leases and credit cards, the letter said. "Bookstores and libraries should not be carved out as safe havens for terrorists and spies, who have, in fact, used public libraries to do research and communicate with their co-conspirators," Assistant Attorney General William E. Moschella said in the letter. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/15/AR2005061501953_pf.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The policy affects blogs created through the MSN Spaces service, said Adam Sohn, a global sales and marketing director at MSN. Microsoft and its government-funded Chinese business partner work with authorities to omit certain forbidden language, Sohn said, declining to provide specific examples. "I don't have access to the list at this point so I can't really comment specifically on what's there," he told The Associated Press. On Monday, Agence France-Presse, the French news agency, said bloggers were not allowed to post terms to MSN Spaces such as "democracy," "human rights" and "Taiwan independence." Attempts to enter those words were said to generate a message saying the language was prohibited. MSN Spaces, which offers free blog space, is connected to Microsoft's MSN China portal. The portal was launched May 26, and 5 million blogs have since been created, Microsoft said. China's government encourages internet use for business and education but tries to ban access to material deemed subversive. It also recently demanded that website owners register with authorities by June 30 or face fines. Chinese censors scour internet bulletin boards and blogs for sensitive material, and block access to violators. Sites that let the public post comments are told to censor themselves or face penalties. more... http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,67842,00.html?tw=wn_11culthead -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead.

And many organizations are increasingly having to prove their worth to funding bodies via their legit credentials. And, Marc, i think your attitude is brilliant. You will continue to thrive as a major center for the arts of the digital frame, and with a few typed keys and some ftping you can help rid many of us of some pressure and paperwork. I would also note that you should certainly look beyond Netbehaviour and consider futherfield's review sections and other areas as having some small statements saying academic type things. I will send along some statements this weekend for your perusal. cheers, Jason --- marc wrote: > OK... > > I think that I'm getting this now... > > - may be it is time for furtherfield to claim a > little territory > regarding Netbehaviour, so it can be promoted as > much as other projects > and events. > > - Also a statement (text) about the residency so > that those academics > who are creatively challenged can read a more > regarding its context... > > So residencies are accepted officially > > have i got the jist right here? > > marc > > > > brain too warped from being mutated & adapted to > the tune of funding > > proposal jargon to process properly but i like the > suggestions so far ... > > i think we are already moved into (beyond?) the > experimental activity > > phase ... > > does it deserve a whole *page* on the site? > > > > i would like to suggest that you also add a page > to the furtherfield > > site with some good recipes for making nutritious > & tasty meals from > > stale bread (i can contribute a couple) as i think > this would be > > useful for furtherfield artists. > > > > h ; ) > > > > At 1:29 AM +0100 16/6/05, marc wrote: > > > >> so what do other people think about such > thingz.... > >> > >> place a quote below... > >> > >> marc > >> > >>> im adding another here :-) > >>> > >>> what about this nibz... > >>> > >>> A contemporary artist no longer needs to mutate > and adapt their > >>> intention(s) to the tune of any academic driven > mind-set.

The seven best blogs out of 60, shortlisted by Reporters Without Borders, represent six locations. Winners included Shared Pains, an Afghan blog which comments on daily political and social life there. Blogs, diary-like websites where people publish thoughts or news, are popular because they are easy to use and free. Also highlighted in the winners' list is Mojtaba Saminejad. He is an Iranian whose blog, published in the Farsi language, earned him a two-year prison sentence in June 2005. The other Iranian bloggers nominated in the separate Iran category all voted for him too, as a sign of solidarity. more... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4099802.stm ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Yet the geeks have not always focused on making sex more enjoyable, more accessible or more affordable. Not all that long ago, sex-obsessed inventors channeled their creativity into designing torturous devices designed to prevent men, women and children from accessing their genitals except to urinate -- and even that could not have been easy. The U.S. Patent Office Sex Inventions exhibition at the Museum of Sex in New York showcases a number of these Victorian anti-sex devices, contrasting them with the sexual aids proposed in the 1970s and 1980s. One contraption encircles the penis and attaches to the pubic hair with little clamps. If an erection occurs during the night, the clamps pull the hair, which wakes the wearer so he can make sure he doesn't ejaculate. The patent office approved that stroke of genius in 1889. Another proposed invention, patented in 1893, relies on water to cool the penis and scrotum in an attempt to prevent nocturnal emissions. Sound uncomfortable? It's actually an improvement over the Spermatorrhea Ring of 1862, which used sharp metal points to discourage erections. By 1921, sex-tech priorities begin to change. Now we see an appliance that uses vacuum and heat to draw blood to the penis, resulting in a firmer, fuller erection -- the opposite of the water-cooled inhibitor proposed just 30 years earlier. By the 1970s, all of the items in the exhibit are designed to improve sex, not prevent it. And in 1984, at least two patents were issued for equipment that could measure the girth and length of any erection that occurs in the night. Without any sharp points. more... http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,67885,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_4 ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Those methods are the same ones used in Latin America during the cold war, although they use new intervention techniques adapted to the current situation. Can knowledge of history prevent it from being repeated? Philip Agee is a former CIA operative who left the agency in 1967 after becoming disillusioned by the CIA?s support for the status quo in the region. Says Agee, ?I began to realize that what I and my colleagues had been doing in Latin America in the CIA was no more than a continuation of nearly five-hundred years of this, exploitation and genocide and so forth. And I began to think about what, until then would have been unthinkable, which was to write a book on how it all works.? The book, Inside the Company: CIA Diary, was an instant best-seller and was eventually published in over thirty languages. In 1978, three years after the publication of CIA Diary, Agee and a group of like-minded journalists began publishing the Covert Operations Information Bulletin (now Covert Action Quarterly), as part of a strategy of ?guerilla journalism? aimed at destabilizing the CIA and exposing their operations. Not surprisingly, the response of the US government and the CIA in particular to Agee?s work has been somewhat aggressive, and he has been forced to divide his time since the 1970s between Germany and Cuba. He currently represents a Canadian petroleum technology firm in Latin America. more... http://www.voltairenetwork.net/article358.html ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

Actually I would love to play with them more. Halfway through finishing this one, I thought of some other ideas, but time is pushing me to complete, complete. Star Wars just doesnt have the same "crack on the head" it used to have. I think the camera used to linger more on landscapes and people.

The water clock has stopped. A chill breeze sends a shiver through me. Spring troubles me and threatens my sleep. Against my balcony, the moon casts the shadows of flowers. So wrote the great statesman and reformer Wang An-shih (1021-1086). His political opponent, the leading Sung poet and calligrapher, Su Tung-p'o (1036-1101), wrote: / / /Flower Shadows / It piles up, thick and formidable, on the marble terrace. The pages, called again and again, try to sweep it away. Just then the sun comes out and carries it off. But never mind, the next moon, The shadow will come back. My, weren't they cultivated for politicians!, you think. Yes, but not precisely in the way you think. These are both political poems and refer to the influence of eunuchs, foreigners and nongentlemen on the court and to the respective authors' antagonistic parties of reform. It is as though, in the days of Dienbienphu, Mr. Eden had written: On the balcony overlooking the mountains, Muguette, the most accomplished and learned concubine, In red, white and blue gauze trousers powdered with gold lilies, Serves, with delicate, weak gestures, the Lord of the West The precious viands of the land of golden elephants. Alas, she has placed them so near the edge of the inlaid table That they may spoil the embroidered waves on his robe of state. The Sung Dynasty (960-1279) was like that. It was overcivilized, but it adopted its own overcivilization as a mask. A great deal went on behind the filmy scrim of gauze and mist and incense smoke. In some ways the Sung was more tough-minded and realistic and even middle-class than any other period in Chinese history until the last, the Manchu (Ch'ing) Dynasty (1644-1912). It is in the Sung Dynasty that what we consider the specifically Chinese sensibility first came to flower. All those patterns of response to life that had developed through the earlier centuries of Chinese civilization stiffened slightly into an overall design. However much we try to escape them, we always tend to view Chinese history through the eyes of the Confucian scholar-gentlemen who first wrote it. They are passionately legitimist. They speak of dynasties in periods of chaos when there were no dynasties. They persist in looking at the very courts before their eyes as embodiments of the Confucian utopia ruled by the priest-king of the harvest and surrogate for the people, although often the actual court was as polyglot as Charlemagne's and as little "sprung from the local soil." They dismiss whole cultures, for instance the northern proto-Mongol contemporaries of the Sung, as barbarians. And always they hold up as the ideal man the civilized, nonviolent scholar-gentleman, with his human-heartedness and his head full of memorized texts for all contingencies. Other classes may have ruled the State and made vital contributions to the culture. They have hardly a literary or historical existence. Han (206 BC to 220 AD) and T'ang (618-906 AD) culture was imperial and syncretistic. Sung culture was national and synthesizing. Only in Sung times did the cultural base become narrow enough, only then was there sufficient lack of distraction from outside, for what we mean by "Confucianism" or, even more loosely, what we mean by "Chinese civilization" to set in the molds that have persisted to this century. Outlanders, what would later be Tibetans, Mongols and Manchus, had been the statesmen who had built the inner Asian empire of China for the T'ang. The T'ang fell in a welter of brigandage and ephemeral "dynasties," and as the Sung emerged and unified China, they drew in upon themselves and eventually left the inner Asian empire to the outlanders. They retreated from the old Chinese borderlands and finally from the homeland, to "South of the River" -- once a land of long-haired savages, recently filling up with emigrants from "China." Here the gentlemen-scholars, undisturbed among their own people, could refine and intensify their peculiar culture, much as the Cockney prisoners could build an England more English than England in nineteenth-century Australia. more... http://www.bopsecrets.org/rexroth/essays/sung-china.htm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is the dry season in Australia, and yet today is rained a long low rain that clouds the windows and drips constantly. So I stayed indoors and watched various downloaded programs and ate brown rice with Parmesean for most of the day. Jennifer's poem is a curious geography, an exploration of place and understanding that seemed to beg for a branching, sub lining poem. The difficulty with this interface is the way it changes the meaning, the line breaks, they way it reorganizes ideas and rebuilds understandings. This is one of those creations that I intend to keep using.

These events consisted of the gathering of diverse artists, curators and producers involved in contemporary practice with projects and activities intersecting the environment in some way. Proposed dates and call for proposals: The dates for the residency and workshop are 3 July - 16 July 2006. The submission process for projects is a two stage process. Stage one is a call for registration of interest, due Monday 18th July 2005. Stage two is a call for developed projects. Registration of interest Artists, curators and producers are invited to submit proposals for possible projects during the two-week workshop and residency. We are seeking projects that enhance a sense of community and/or identity by either: a) being collaborative projects across hemispheres, between nations or cultures; or b) referencing environmental response - to Taranaki, Aotearoa, New Zealand and Pacific Ocean in terms of human, natural and technological environment. Process Download the registration of interest rtf from the web page given above. Fill out the form and email it to: scanz at witt.ac.nz. The registration of interest proposal should include a short general description of the project only (half page preferred, maximum one A4 page). Project specifics can be resolved in the second call. The registration of interest file should be saved and sent as an rtf file. A CV should also be submitted, which provides information relevant to the proposal. The CV should also be saved as an rtf and include all contact details and url?€™s. Up to three web suitable images (jpg or gif) can be submitted with the registration of interest, and video files up to 4Mb. This material should be related to the specific proposal rather than be samples of previous work. Three themes are central to SCANZ: 1. Fostering a sense of community and translocal media environment by enhancing links between northern and southern hemisphere practitioners. 2. Providing time, space and a unique environment for media artists to workshop, research and collaborate on creative methodologies. 3. To create an opportunity for artists to work together over a given period of time to develop new artistic content exploring the relationship between media and practitioner's response to an environmentally unique location - Taranaki, Aotearoa New Zealand, South Pacific. Environment here refers to human, natural and technological environments and the integration of these into diverse creative forms. Taranaki is significant in terms of human environment - it was the site for a peaceful protest movement under the guidance of Te Whiti, and important colonial events and clashes; home to Chew Chong who played an important role in business development regionally and nationally; and is the location of the mountain - Taranaki, part of Maori mythology and the second highest mountain peak in the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The "Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin", a non-profit-making event without competition, are supported by French, German and international cultural institutions. http://art-action.org/en_soutien.htm + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ALL INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS CAN SUBMIT ONE OR SEVERAL PROPOSALS.

They introduce a true intercultural forum gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and directors recognized on the international scene along with young artists and directors who still cannot enjoy a substantial distribution, directors from organizations and emerging structures - testifying of the vivacity of creation and its diffusion, but also of the situation of their activity in their countries that sometimes are in transition or experiencing deep changes. The "Rencontres internationales" reflect the glance of creators who directly take part in their cultures, and work out this precious and necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged. Feel free to spread this piece of information to creative organizations or artists and directors you are in contact with.

Stein Editor's Note: In the late 1980's, under a GSA program, the CIA commissioned Washington artist, James Sanborn to create a series of sculptures for CIA's new Headquarters building. Working together with Ed Scheidt, who was soon to retire from the Office of Communications, Sanborn created a sculpture named "Kryptos" (Greek for hidden) that was dedicated in 1990 and now resides in the northwest corner of the courtyard. The curving verdigris scroll contains an 865-character coded message that seems to flow out from a petrified tree and is located near a water-filled basin bordered by various types of stones. In the following article, David D. Stein describes how he has deciphered most of the secret message contained within the sculpture. more... http://elonka.com/kryptos/mirrors/daw/steinarticle.html other info: The code itself is fascinating.

I first started thinking about this when I saw how much the artists whose work you work with really like what you?ve done. Looking forward to more ever surprising pieces.

Trying to sleep off a long day of grading and paperwork, I tried to sleep in the car as my girlfriend drove us home to Moorooka. But on the way I tried to imagine how I might play with and organize Lewis's music. What I find most compelling about his songs are their depth, their constantly changing tempos and disharmonies, their bits hidden noise and vocal calls. I found that this most fun, Trying to find bits and chunks to cut out and use in this residency. I also wanted to make the interface as loud as some of the music. But I fear it just looks a tad ugly. But it seems to be growing on me. Maybe I need cream. Again. Residency url:(UPDATED!!!) http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/residency.htm Residency description: Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed, thrust, stolen, and borrowed from new media artists, poets and electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls. I could list those academic and worldly accolades that have trophied themselves on my work, but I am only as good as the last swirling mess I spit out. I live in Australia with a beautiful woman and miss the snow, so miss the snow."

Venus Rising is a forum that launched at the Science Museum?s Dana Centre in April. With this series of panels we pose the question, can we shift the cultural image and language of technology towards the feminine? Join us on 6 July for a debate at the Institute of Contemporary Art on the uses and misuses of language in technology. For this event, we have invited a group of speakers to each select their favourite (sic) used/misused word in technology and do a rant about it for approximately 5 minutes each with visuals. Diane Fox Hill (Semiotician and Project Manager/PDD) will be co-chairing the event with Lizbeth Goodman (Director, SMARTlab Centre).

Griffith University caught wind of the residency and thought it news worthy enough to write a small narrative and send a photographer my way. Such a strange experience sitting still in various unnatural positions waiting for clicks, forcing smiles. Going home from that I was damn excited to begin work on this residency. Maria and Norie were kind enough to send me heaps of work, and I created a few other small critters before settling on the cups. I really like the aesthetics of this one, the way the sounds and images crash and coalesce. Seems everytime I start working on one of these I want to do more, but time is pulling my fiddle all faddle ways. If only I knew what that meant. Residency url: http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/residency.htm Residency description: Exploring interface and interactive creatures with content grabbed, thrust, stolen, and borrowed from new media artists, poets and electronic pioneers. Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls. I could list those academic and worldly accolades that have trophied themselves on my work, but I am only as good as the last swirling mess I spit out.

A chance for the mainstream media to strike back against the upstarts of the online world. On Friday the Los Angeles Times - an unwieldy broadsheet newspaper - launched its "wikitorial", an interactive device allowing readers to contribute to and rewrite its editorial column. "Do you see fatuous reasoning, a selective reading of the facts, a lack of poetry?" asked an introductory article in the paper. "Well, what are you going to do about it? You could send us an e-mail ... But today you have a new option: Rewrite the editorial yourself." Trumpeting the experiment as "a constantly evolving collaboration among readers in a communal search for truth", the paper admitted that it faced potential disaster: "Like an arthritic old lady who takes to the dance floor ... the Los Angeles Times is more likely to break a hip than to be hip. We acknowledge that possibility." At the end of a 1,000-word editorial about the war in Iraq, online readers were invited to "Click here to Wiki this morning's editorial". But by Sunday, readers were met with the following statement: "Where is the wikitorial? Unfortunately, we have had to remove this feature, at least temporarily, because a few readers were flooding the site with inappropriate material." Hot and flustered, the arthritic old lady had left the dance floor. The wikitorial took its lead from the website wikipedia.org, an encyclopaedia on the internet written by volunteers. The name comes from the Hawaiian term "wiki wiki", meaning quick or informal. The wikitorial started with the first users posting modest amendments to the editorial just hours after its publication. more... http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1511745,00.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Zhang Zhiwen, an official from the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), said yesterday at the third China International EPC/RFID Summit in Beijing that MOST and the other 13 government departments have finished a draft of the white paper on RFID technology policies. "The biggest difficulty for the development and deployment of RFID in China is that we do not have a system," said Zhang. Many government agencies work on different plans and standards, so there is a pressing need for a coherent national strategy. Zhang declined to reveal details of the policies outlined in the white paper. RFID is a wireless technology that allows producers and suppliers to trace their products through wireless and integrated circuit technologies, and thus increase the efficiency of their logistics. Tags can hold much richer information than the standard bar code found on the vast majority of products. With its importance to logistics, retailing and manufacturing industries, and the potentially huge future consumption of electronic tags and chips, RFID has grabbed global attention. The world's top retailing company Wal-Mart requires its top 100 suppliers to put RFID tags on pallets. The United States giant procures more than US$100 billion of goods from China, so its decision has aroused a lot of interest domestically. Cui Zhongfu, an official at the National Development and Reform Commission, said the government and enterprises should closely watch whether multinationals and international organizations follow suit. He added China should also quicken its pace as it strives to come up with a national RFID standard, to protect the country's economic interests and national security. more... http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-06/23/content_3123494.htm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The group, which has coalesced through the influential liberal blog, Daily Kos, has taken it upon itself to vet documents about Gitmo detainees the American Civil Liberties Union received as a result of a 2003 Freedom of Information Act request. The organization has been slow to review the documents itself due to a lack of manpower. Earlier this month, Susan Hu, a Daily Kos contributor, commenced the project, in which she and several co-organizers oversee volunteers who have agreed to review a manageable portion of the ACLU documents. So far, at least 80 people have signed up, each taking responsibility for a specific set of documents and for publicly posting the results of their review. Together, volunteers hope they can make it through the more than 4,000 pages received by the ACLU and root out even the smallest signs of government misconduct which, without this project, they feel might otherwise go undiscovered. While reviewing 4,000 pages might not sound like the kind of undertaking that requires dozens of volunteers, organizers say the documents frequently contain the kind of minutiae that require advanced degrees to understand and which take a great deal of time to peruse. "I think the project is important because there is this huge amount of documentation and it's not clear how thoroughly it's being looked at," said George Phillies, one of the project's leaders. "I think it's important to the American people because it's not clear what is being done in their name." The tentative plan, Phillies explained, is to publicly post the project's results --including key findings that are critical of the government's actions at Gitmo, as well as some that are not. Project participants will also try to place stories in the mainstream media about cases of what the volunteers feel are prisoner abuse. more... http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,67966,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_5 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Frazer's innovative and critically acclaimed longpoem, sections of which previously appeared in book format, is available for the first time in its completed form. === Vernon Frazer's relentless pursuit of truth is inspiring. Improvisations commands our attention. It is difficult to recognize a landmark work in a landscape of hype and craftsmanship, but Frazer's embrace and reconciliation of the conflicts between poetry and language result in a musical and visual harmony that other poets have long neglected or sought with less success. Improvisations is a work to learn from and to praise without hesitation. - Michael Rothenberg Through its sectional appearances Improvisations has consistently offered its readers a dizzying flight across textual geographies and social aporia. Now we can encounter and engage its full monumentality as a vast text whose verbal excess and vertiginous typographic variations mark a stunning moment in the history of gestural poetics. It is a true comment on what it is to not only live modernity but to actively engage it. - Steve McCaffery Improvisations will take its place in the modernist, postmodernist and alternative pantheon of masterpieces. Vernon Frazer presents us with a 'new physics' of poetic structure. It is not contingent upon any preconceptions of what poetry 'has been' or 'should be'. Its roots are far reaching and ubiquitously move rhizomically beneath the surface of the poetic page. It is there that Improvisations manifests its multi-dimensional, polyphonic, nonlocal music-of-the-spheres resonances, echoing down cerebral corridors and unfolding to the reader a synergistically limitless semantically rich poetic realm. - Ric Carfagna |'|'|' one-one rhythm intensity emergent language & new not form of bop prosody < the moments the heavy breathing dragging language where it won't speak but has to > this exciting brilliant igneous volcanism of insistent world glossolalia harnessed to < what the world said when the word spoke > you get my DRIFT "spot-time" Wittgenstein < about virtual language is about virtual particles < what the vacuum speaks > of this masterpiece: dipping in, constructs of solitons, shore-flecked language returning "all different" < did anyone write this < sure a machine DIDN'T "I am sure if language could speak, this is what it would say" > the _topography_ of language < Said of a word or mineral that solidified from molten or partly molten material, i.e. from magma; also, applied to processes leading to, related to, or resulting from the formation of such words. > shards of CONTINUUM language degree & incessant < you can get lost in The Big Sky < WHATEVER YOU do READ THIS BOOK > & knot form - Alan Sondheim ISBN 0-9745270-1-7 704 pages $45.00 Available from Baker and Taylor Books, The Book House, Inc, and your favorite online bookseller.

Siberia 1939. this is in New Jersey facing or fascing, yes that's it, fascing the world trade center. which was across the water. let me bring you the news and stories about 'the world trade center.' the world tradce center, like the socalled holocuast never existed. after the wtc collapsed everyone we knew had stories. it was stories after stories. everyone would tell their stories to everyone who had stories. this is the way the world trade center worked just like the holocaust as the generator of stories. here is a movie called the heap movie.the heap movie is about bodies a heap of bodies. just like abugharayb. motion capture equipment was piled in a heap onthe floor. the result bodies and searchlights as bodies are torn apart. let me show you what this looks like with with bodies that are created from the search lights. it helped me understand abugharayb as well as the fact that the fascists in power have legalized torture for perhaps the first time in amerikan history. these are avatars created by animation programs taking input from motion capture equipment which is used to distort bodies, using the equipment against itself, as if real bodies were being torn limb from limb. the result is st vitus' dance. dance of death. holbein. all those references. some light entertainment from the panama canal. the sound you are hearing was recorded around washington square park in new york; it represents the wirless computer signals in the vicinity, one of the highest concentrations in the country. from the heap movie it was an easy step to the avatars. back from the avatars towards foofwa d'imobilite : Azure Carter is singing. Foofwa and I did a number of Performances sometimes with Azure and sometimes not with Azure. the point : to dance and creeate sound/music as fast as possible for as long as possible. Foofwa and I lasted ten minutes six seconds at the longest. this is a shorter performance. it shoud be a lot louder; it should be blasting. foofwa dances just like the avatars! the bodies break themselves up into pieces and pieces. night falls in the big city... the wolf's at the door... they are moving in at it again... i keep trying to get to the bottom of amerika and just when it seems that some kind of understand is possible, it skips out again, goes in another direction altogether. in the west virginia hills (north north east west virginia) the webcam revolution in the ukraine. this was about forty miles from the killing and torturing of chickens at the slaughterhouses documented by Peta. they were run by kentucky fried chicken which issued nothing more than a reprimand. the birds were torn apart, stepped on, thrown against walls, pulled to pieces. the birds were alive. lyndie england grew up a few miles from the slaughterhouse and had worked in another one. abu gharayb was probably heaven after that. in very low frequency radio the ground itself resonates with human presence. this is the dance of the electrical earth recorded by very low frequency radio "no microphone was used" these figures are all around us. o'neill park just down the road from here and a historic covered bridge (all covered bridges are historic) back in west virginia again. eeaerly on in working with foofwa we set up in new york - a situation in which (situation? a plan or prospect / an environment/containment) in which a verbal interruption would change camera. foofwa danced. my voice changed camera. foofwa was interested in the labor of dance. or rather the labor of dance was interested in him and labor interested in both of us. the result was always already fury. because i do not know where this is going. because i cannot stand to hear the voice of our "president' on television. because i despise american foreign and domestic policy. i will drown myself out here and now. thank you. i will talk about my 'work' such as it is in a minute. _ From heliopod at gmail.com Fri Jun 24 17:49:16 2005 From: heliopod at gmail.com (Jason Nelson) Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 01:49:16 +1000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] RESIDENCY: twenty of 24 artist interfaces: Heckman Message-ID: <33e11ba1050624084967cc6537@mail.gmail.com> twenty of 24 artist interfaces: Heckman >>>URL: http://www.secrettechnology.com/resident/heckman.htm <<< Poetics Theory and Sparks by Davin Heckman Visit one of his worlds: http://www.reconstruction.ws/051/editorial.shtml Country Boy sale on Chicken's Chickened by Jason Nelson Where was this created?

June 21, 2005. To National and International Civil Society: Se?ora, se?orita, se?or, young person, boy, girl: This is not a letter of farewell. At times it is going to seem as if it is, that it is a farewell, but it is not. It is a letter of explanation. Well, that is what we shall attempt. This was originally going to go out as a communiqu?, but we have chosen this form because, for good or for bad, when we have spoken with you we have almost always done so in this most personal tone. We are the men, women, children and old ones of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Perhaps you remember us - we rose up in arms on January 1, 1994, and ever since then we have kept up our war against the forgetting, and we have resisted the war of extermination which the different governments have waged, unsuccessfully, against us. We live in the furthest corner of this country which is called Mexico. In that corner which is called "Indian Peoples." Yes, like that, plural. Because, for reasons we shall not give here, the plural is used in this corner for everything: we suffer, we die, we fight, we resist. Now, as you know quite well, it so happens that, ever since that dawn of the beginning of '94, we have dedicated our struggle - first with fire and then with the word - our efforts, our life and our death, exclusively to the Indian peoples of Mexico for the recognition of their rights and their culture. It was natural - we zapatistas are overwhelmingly indigenous. Mayan indigenous, to be more precise. But, in addition, the indigenous in this country - despite having been the foundation of this Nation's great transformations - are still the social group which has been the most attacked and the most exploited. If they have shown no mercy against anyone with their military wars and the wars disguised as "political", the wars of usurpation, of conquest, of annihilation, of marginalization, of ignorance - it has been against the indigenous. The war against us has been so intense and brutal that it has become routine to think that the indigenous will only be able to escape from their conditions of marginalization and poverty if they stop being indigenous...or if they are dead. We have been fighting to not die and to not cease being indigenous. We have fought to be - alive and indigenous - part of this nation which has been lifted up over our backs. The Nation for whom we have been the feet (almost always unshod) with which it has walked in its decisive moments. The Nation for whom we have been the arms and hands which have made the earth bear fruit and which have erected the large buildings, edifices, churches and palaces that those who have everything take such pride in. The Nation of which - through word, look and manner, that is, through culture - we are the root. Are we raining insult upon injury? Perhaps it's because we are in June, the sixth month of the year. Well, we just wanted to point out that the beginning of our uprising was not just a "Here we are", shouted to a Nation that was deaf and dumb because of the authoritarianism above. It was also a "This is what we are and shall continue to be...but now with dignity, with democracy, with justice, with liberty." You know this quite well, because, among other things, you have been accompanying us since then. Unfortunately, after more than 7 years committed to that path, in April of 2001, politicians from all the parties (primarily the PRI, PAN and PRD) and the self-styled "three branches of the Union" (the presidency, the congress and the courts) formed an alliance in order to deny the Indian peoples of Mexico the constitutional recognition of their rights and culture. And they did so without caring about the great national and international movement which had arisen and joined together for that purpose. The great majority, including the media, were in agreement that that debt should be settled. But the politicians don't care about anything that doesn't get them money, and they rejected the same proposal that they had approved years before when the San Andr?s Accords were signed and the Cocopa drafted a proposal for constitutional reform. They did so because they thought that, after a little time had passed, everyone would forget. And perhaps many people forgot, but we did not. We have memory, and it was they: the PRI, the PAN, the PRD, the President of the Republic, the deputies and senators and the justices of the Supreme Court of the Nation. Yes, the Indian peoples continue today in the underbelly of this Nation, and they continue to suffer the same racism they have for 500 years. It doesn't matter what they are saying now, when they are preparing for the elections (in other words, to secure positions that will make them profits): they are not going to do anything for the good of the majority, nor are they going to listen to anything that isn't money. If we zapatistas pride ourselves on anything it's honoring the word, the honest and principled word. All this time we have been telling you that we will try the path of dialogue and negotiation in order to achieve our demands. We told you that we would make great efforts in the peaceful struggle. We told you that we would focus on the indigenous struggle. And so it has been. We have not deceived you. All the help which you have so generously contributed to this noble cause and through those means has been for that and for nothing else. We have used nothing for anything else. All the humanitarian help and aid which we have received from Mexico and from throughout the world has been used only for improving the living conditions of the zapatista indigenous communities and in peaceful initiatives for the recognition of indigenous rights and culture. Nothing of what was received has been used for the acquisition of arms or for any war preparations. Not only because we haven't needed it (the EZLN has maintained its military capacity intact since 1994), but above all because it wouldn't have been honest to tell you that your help was for one thing and to use it for another. Not one centavo of the help received for peace with justice and dignity has been used for war. We have not needed help for making war. For peace, yes. We have, of course, used our word to refer to (and in some cases to express our solidarity with) other struggles in Mexico and the world, but just that far. And many times, knowing that we could do more, we had to contain ourselves, because our efforts - as we had told you - were exclusively by and for the indigenous. It has not been easy. Do you remember the March of the1,111? The Consulta of 5000 in 1999? The March of the Color of the Earth in 2001? Well, imagine then what we felt when we saw and heard the injustices and the hatred directed against campesinos, workers, students, teachers, working persons, homosexuals and lesbians, young people, women, old ones, children. Imagine what our heart felt. We were touched by a pain, a fury, an indignation which we already knew because it has been, and is, ours. But now we were touched by it in the other. And we heard the "we" which inspires us wanting to become larger, to make itself more collective, more national. But no, we had said just the indigenous, and we had to honor that. I believe it's because of our way - in other words, that we would prefer to die before we would betray our word. Now we are consulting with our heart in order to see if we are going to say and do something else. If the majority says yes, then we are going to do everything possible to honor it. Everything, even dying if it's necessary. We do not want to appear dramatic. We are only saying it in order to make it clear how far we are willing to go.. In other words, not "until they give us a position, an amount of money, a promise, a candidacy." Perhaps some may remember how, six months ago, we started with the "what is missing is missing." Then fine, as is obvious, the hour has arrived to decide whether we are going to proceed to find what is missing. Not to find, to build. Yes, to build "something else." In some of the communiqu?s of the past few days, we let you know that we have entered into an internal consulta. We shall soon have the results, and we will inform you of them. Meanwhile then, we are taking the opportunity to write you. We have always spoken to you with sincerity, and also to those who are our heart and guardian, our Votan Zapata, the zapatista communities, our collective command. It will be a difficult and hard decision, just as our life and our struggle have been. For four years we have been preparing the conditions in order to present our peoples with doors and windows so that, when the moment comes, everyone had all the ingredients in place for choosing which window to peer through and which door to open. And that is our way. In other words, the EZLN leadership does not lead, rather it seeks paths, steps, company, direction, pace, destination. Several. And then they present the peoples with those paths, and they analyze with them what would happen if we follow one or the other course. Because, depending on the path we travel, there are things which will be good and things which will be bad. And then they - the zapatista communities - speak their thoughts and decide, after discussing and by majority, where we are all going. And then they give the order, and then the EZLN leadership has to organize the work or prepare what is needed to walk that path. Of course the EZLN leadership doesn't just look at what happens only to them, but they have to be bound to the peoples and to touch their hearts and to make themselves, as they say, the same thing. Then it becomes all our gazes, all our ear, all our thoughts, all our heart. But what if, for whatever reason, the leadership does not look, or hear, or think, or feel like all of us. Or some parts aren't seen or something else isn't heard or other thoughts aren't thought or felt. Well, then, that is why everyone is consulted. That is why everyone is asked. That is why agreement is taken among everyone. If the majority says no, then the leadership has to seek another way, and to present another way to the peoples in order to propose until we collectively reach a decision. In other words, the people govern. Now the collective which we are will make a decision. They are weighing the pros and cons. They are carefully making the calculations, what is lost and what is gained. And, seeing that there is not a little to be lost, it will be decided whether it is worth it. Perhaps, in some people's scales, there will be much weight given to what we have achieved. Perhaps, in other people's scales, there will be more weight given to the indignation and shame caused by seeing our earth and skies destroyed by the stupid avarice of Power. In any event, we cannot remain passive, just contemplating, as a gang of ruffians strips our Patria of everything that gives it and everyone existence: dignity. Ah, well, many turns now. We are writing you for what may be the last time in order to give you back your promised word of support. It is not little that we have achieved in the indigenous struggle, and that has been - as we have told you in public and in private - because of your help. We believe you can be proud, without any shame, of all the good that we zapatistas, along with you, have built up to this point. And know that it has been an honor, undeserved in any light, that people like you have walked at our side. Now we shall decide whether we are going to do something else, and we will make the results public at the proper time. We are now making clear - in order to end the speculations - that this "other thing" does not entail any offensive military action on our part. We are not, on our part, planning nor discussing reinitiating offensive military combat. Ever since February-March of 1994 our entire military presence has been, and is, defensive. The government should say whether, on its part, there are any offensive war preparations, whether by the federal forces or by their paramilitaries. And the PRI and the PRD should say if they are planning any attack against us with the paramilitaries they are supporting in Chiapas. If it is the decision of the zapatista majority, those who have helped us up to now in the exclusively indigenous struggle can, without any shame or regret, distance themselves from the "other thing" to which Comandante Tacho referred in the San Crist?bal de Las Casas plaza in January of 2003, two and a half years ago. In addition, there is a communiqu? which establishes, from here out, that release and which can be presented in a job application, curriculum vitae, coffee klatch, editorial office, roundtable, grandstand, forum, stage, book jacket, footnote, colloquium, candidacy, book of regrets or newspaper column and which, in addition, has the advantage of being able to be exhibited as defense evidence in any court (don't laugh, there's a precedent: in 1994, some indigenous detained by the bad government - and who weren't zapatistas - were released by a judge, validating a letter from the CCRI-CG in which it released those persons from what the EZLN had done. In other words, as the lawyers say, "there is legal precedent"). But those who find in their heart an echo, even if it is small, of our new word and who feel themselves called by the path, step, pace, company and destination which we have chosen, may perhaps decide to renew their help (or to participate directly)...knowing that it will be "another thing". Like that, without tricks, without deceit, without hypocrisy, without lies. We thank the women. All the girls, teenagers, young women, se?oritas, se?oras and old ones (and those who were changing from one to the other of those calendars throughout these 12 years) who helped us, who accompanied us and who, not a few times, made our pain and our steps their own. To all of them, Mexicans and from other countries, who helped us and who walked with us. In everything we did you were the huge majority. Perhaps because we share along with you, although each in their own way and place, discrimination, contempt...and death. We thank the national indigenous movement, which did not sell itself for government posts, for travel allowances, for the flattery that the powerful classify as "fit for indigenous and animals." The one which listened to our word and gave us theirs. The one which opened its heart, its home, to us. The one which resisted and resists with dignity, raising very high the color we are of the earth. We thank the young men and women of Mexico and of the world. Those who were boys, girls or teenagers that '94 and who nobly grew up without holding back their eyes or their ears. Those who reached youth or, despite the pages torn from the calendar, remained there, extending the hand of their rebellion to our dark hand. Those who chose to come and share days, weeks, months, years, our dignified poverty, our struggle, our hope and our foolish endeavor. We thank the homosexuals, lesbians, transsexuals, transgender persons and "everyone in their own way." Those who shared with us their struggle for respect for difference, knowing that it is not a defect to be hidden. Those who demonstrated that courage has nothing to do with testosterone and who, time and again, gave us some of the most beautiful lessons of dignity and nobility we have received. We thank the intellectuals, artists and scientists, from Mexico and the world, who helped us in the struggle for the indigenous. Few movements or organizations can pride themselves on having had the backing (always critical, and we thank them for that) of so much intelligence, ingenuity and creativity. You already know that we always listened to you with respect and attention, even when we didn't share your points of view and that something of the light you shone helped to illuminate our dark paths. We thank the honest workers of the press and the decent media who showed, truthfully and to the entire world, what they saw and heard, and who respected, without distorting, our voice and path. We extend you our solidarity in these hard moments you are going through in the exercise of your profession, where you are risking your lives, you are attacked and, like us, you find no justice. And, so that no one is missed, we thank everyone who, honestly and sincerely, helped us. I said, at the beginning of this letter, that it was not a farewell. Well, it so happens that for some people it is. Although for others it will be what is, in reality, a promise...Because what is missing can now be seen... Vale. Salud and, from heart to heart, thank you for everything. In the name of all the zapatistas of the EZLN. From the mountains of the Mexican Southeast. Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos Mexico, in the sixth month of the year 2005. PS - You can see now that we aren't thinking about playing football. Or not thinking only about that. Because some day we will play against the Internazionale of Milan. We, or what is left of us.

Enjoy! Five Years of My Life, Alfred Dreyfus, George Newnes, London, 1901. This is of course translated from the French. I found this copy in Copperton, a mining town in Utah; I didn't know the book existed. It's an amazing read - a compilation of letters, diary notes, commentary, and so forth - all in a somewhat 19th-century sentimentalist style. It's absolutely fascinating, and given the current political climate, pretty relevant. If you can find a copy, pick one up. Practical Radio, Henry Smith Williams, Funk and Wagnalls, 1922-24. I've quoted from this work before, particularly in relation to hacking. Early radio accounts parallel Net accounts - similar historiographies at times - and make for interesting reading, in terms of early popular media global- ization. Radio up through the early 20s was highly experimental, although stations quickly came on board. Early radio books, by the way, are fairly inexpensive. One practical use - build some of the sets; there are numerous diagrams and suggestions for crystal radio, etc. Firefox Hacks, Tips and Tools for Next-Generation Web Browsnig, Nigel McFarlane, O'Reilly, 2005. This book is of course based on the popular alternative web browser, which is both open-source and highly configurable. I'm not sure who - except for hackers and web artists - would benefit from this book - but there is a great deal of useful information. The chapters range from "Getting Oriented," which stresses the home-user aspect of Firefox, through "Power Tools for Web Developers" and "Power XML for Web Pages" - both of which are excellent. I'm more interested in the "Hack the Chrome Ugly" and "Hack the Chrome Cleanly" sections which cover such things as "Build an Installable Theme" and "Create a Chrome Package." The last chapter, "Work more Closely with Firefox," contains sections on "Get a Custom, Prebuilt Version," and "Make Firefox Software" which suggest stand-alone conceptual browsing within everyone's reach and expertise. In any case I'm fascinated by these sorts of books, highly software-based, which might outdate quickly, but for just a moment give insight and instruction to anyone who reads them. (DEBUG.), Primary Techno Noir, edited by Kenji Siratori, iUniverse, 2004, is one of the most beautifully-produced books I've seen in a while - so much so that the packaging almost contradicts the scruffed content, most of which was written, I assume, by Kenji. The cover image is by rustgirl.com - a site connected with Kenji, with incredibly striking images. I'm still fascinated by Kenji's work which seems both algorithm- ically produced, and _written_ letter by letter. As such it occupies the same space it describes. Highly recommended. Boswell's Life of Johnson, just about any unabridged edition. This is a work I keep dipping into; it's probably the first palimpsest postmodern work in English, Shandy etc. notwithstanding. And it is an amazingly interesting text; Johnson 'comes alive' in a manner I haven't seen before - it's almost as if one were talking to the man, whose opinions by the way are often conservative and overblown. To listen to 18th-century chatter is to listen to 20th-century email. The strategies and psychology of the correspondence between the two men is all too familiar. A second work I've been reading, somewhat along the same line - Lord Byron, Selected Prose, edited by Peter Gunn, a Penguin Book from 1972. Don Juan may be my favorite English poem; this book gives of course a background. I feel I know the Shelley's well - I'd talk with them on the street - but Byron is increasingly a mystery. Songs of Gold Mountain, Cantonese Rhymes from San Francisco Chinatown, Marlon K. Hom, California, 1987. If you find this, check it out; there is so little material available from the immigration period, in English, for the general reader. These Songs are wonderful. A Treasury of War Poetry, British and American Poems of the World War, 1914-1917, edited by George Herbert Clarke, published 1917, reprinted since. Alan Seeger's I have a Rendezvous with Death is horrifying and utterly brilliant; he died in the war. The book is a mixture of the not- yet-realized death-throes of imperialism and the sustained coherent world of the 19th-century (at least for some), patriotism, and undercurrents of absolute despair. I've been keeping this by the bedside. Tales of a Long Night, Alfred Doblin, translated by Robert and Rita Kimber, Fromm International, 1984. I found this a broken searing novel - wanted to draw attention to it. I prefer it to Berlin Alexanderplatz; on the levels of mythos and reality, philosophical issues of war and thera- peutics, sexuality and family disintegration - it's perhaps the strongest work I've read in years. Test Driving Linux, From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds, David Brickner, O'Reilly, 2005. Complete with CD, this book is the best introduction to linux for someone who is curious about the operating system, but is nervous about installation, or whether it's worth it at all. The CD allows the user to run a sample linux installation from the disk alone. You can only benefit. The book gives information on how to proceed further - what types or distributions of linux to install, how to go about it, etc. Just about everything is covered, from email through image manipulation. The book is $25 which is reasonably cheap, given the contents. The Namban Art of Japan, Yoshitomo Okamoto, Weatherhill, 1972. A primary analysis of acculturation, up-to-date as a result of extensive illustra- tion. Namban art refers to largely 16-th century works produced in Japan as a result of European (primarily Portugeuse/Japanese cultural contact. I'm fascinated by the cultural mirrorings that occur at this point, as well as around the 1850s-1870s. I think the world revolves around these (pre)(mis)conceptions of the O(o)ther - enough that critical theorists should be familiar with this material. Don't Click on the Blue E, Switching to Firefox, Scott Granneman, O'Reilly, 2005. This is a strange book; it will be useful to anyone who wants to know more about what's under the Firefox hood, particularly in relation to Internet Explorer. And Firefox is amazingly configurable, etc. - the book gives detailed information. On the other hand, if you are computer-savvy, you wouldn't need this at all. Its readership, in other words, seems to be a bit odd; I'm not sure where the market is. In any case, there is useful information on customization, multimedia plugins, bookmarks and tabs, etc. However, if you do know what you're doing, check out the Firefox Hacks (above); it's much more detailed. As is Linux Desktop Hacks, Tips and Tools for Customizing and Optimizing your OS, by Nicholas Petreley and Jono Bacon, O'Reilly, 2005. I have to admit I haven't used this yet, but the information is mind-boggling and when I finally get Mandrake 10+ into a more useful configuration, I'll be working the book. It covers a lot more than KDE or Gnome; there is information in fact on the entire operating system - for example, con- figuring the terminal window. multiple screens, and X11 startup; working with cron (which automates tasks in a variety of ways); and using GPS software. The hacks are sophisticated and require sophisticated use of the terminal. I can only recommend this on the basis of a read, but it seems excellent. O'Reilly has also come out with the 2nd edition of Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks, David Karp, 2005; and the 2nd edition of Windows XP Hacks, Tips and Tools for Optimizing Your OS, Preston Gralla, 2005. Both of these are seriously essential. WinXP is incredibly slow, bloated, full of unnecessary balloons, 'help,' animations, clumsy IE stuff - in short, everything designed to drive one crazy. I'm on an artist residency at the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana, California, at the moment; Cal State Fullerton (which runs the place) gave me three PCs to use (plus my own). They're all WinXP PCs, and the first thing I did, out of dire necessity, was to reconfigure them. I strongly advise anyone to get these manuals if they're using WinXP for anything other than mail (no, even if they're using it only for mail). Both of these books are second edition, by the way, which are vastly different than the first, and more useful. Finally, to round out the O'Reilly material, a book that is really of use for codework (I just realized that 'a book ... for codework' doesn't make sense but it's late in the day) is Classic Shell Scripting, Arnold Robbins and Nelson H.F. Beebe, 2005. I use a linux/bsd/darwin/unix/whatever shall almost all the time, although I'm lazy (this is written in the Pico editor). This books will steer you through shell scripts better than any- thing else; couple it with a linux/unix/etc. handbook and you're all set. The shell has always amazed and fascinated me; it's the condensation of a potential field, a monopole at the cursor, lost at sea without pulldown menus. The book will cover it all. The Noh Drama, Ten Plays from the Japanese, translated by the Special Noh Committee, Tuttle, 1955. Noh is my 'favorite drama,' and has influenced my work to a great extent. These translations are wonderful, although the kyogen interludes are only summarized. The book has been reprinted; I'm not sure what the most recent edition is. Japan Today, Dr. Shodo Taki, Tuttle, 1952. You can find this book of photographs (very little text), made primarily for the 'Occupation forces,' at various used bookstores. Like the Namban book, this presents images of O(o)ther that are highly relevant today. Max Weber's The Religion of China (Free Press, 1951) appears the result of misrecognitions and over-generalization; on the other hand, it's valuable as symptomatic for the same reasons. Two books on Buddhism: The Manuals of Buddhism, Ledi Sayadaw, Bangkok, 1978; and The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines & Its Verse Summary, translated by Edward Conze, Four Seasons, 1973 (reprint 1995). These are two of my favorite books on Buddhism; the former, although obscure, is available online in its entirety, and provides one of the best accountings (not elementary) of Buddhist philosophy, cosmology, and so forth. The translations are from Pali and Burmese. Sayadaw lived from 1846-1923, and was a major Buddhist philosopher/thinker. Although the language is technical, the book is clear, intense, encompassing. The Perfection of Wisdom, from South India at the turn of the 0th millennium, is a major text I should have known but didn't. The translation is lovely, and the Sutras are great; the Verse Summary stands alone and reminds me of the quietude of Han Shan. (Please understand I don't know what I'm talking about.) Since I've been 'doing' VLF recording for all sorts of reasons, I've been trying to find useful books on the subject. Well, there's one, from the 1950s, going for over $100, although Dover will release it for something like $16 in 2006. In the meantime, I have Joseph Carr's RadioScience Observing, Volume I, with CD, Prompt Publications, 1998. This is really scattered in its approach to the subject, but there is good material which supplements what's online. I'm not satisfied with what I've found online either - there are dozens, probably hundreds, of useful sites, for example NASA's INSPIRE project, which is one of the most important. I've supple- mented this book with The ARRL Antenna Book, 20th edition, published by the American Radio Relay League. This probably four kilo monster comes with a CD as well, and has over 600-700 pages of material - so detailed, I'm lost but fascinated. There's something magnificent about radio antennas, which puncture the atmosphere, gather and invisible/inaudible/ imperceptible, and transform it into the usual AM/FM nonsense, not to mention CB and shortwave. For any sort of specialized work, the book is completely essential; there is nothing else like it. (Don't pay full price btw; it's available 2nd-hand online). I also found The Arrl Antenna Compendium, Volume 2, at a local used bookstore. It dates from 1989 and is filled with articles such as Sunspots, Flares, and HF Propagation; Visual Phenomena of the Ionosphere; Balloons as Antenna Supports; and Antenna Selection Guide. By the way the ARRL antenna book CD has amazing programs on it, that cover all sorts of things, for example, ground waves and reception in hilly and other terrain - you can use this with mappings of specific locales. Let's remind ourselves that Semiotexte did Radiotext(e) in 1993, edited by Neil Strauss, and there is a lot of great information in it. The culture is moving too fast; what is remembered is remained, is residue. Although from 2003, The Iraq War Reader, History, Documents, Opinions, edited by Micah L. Sifry and Christopher Cerf, Touchstone, isn't out of date - it confirms and reconfirms the horror we're living within/under. The articles on the absence of bodies and Iraq's nuclear program (there was one) are frightening; the former is almost Ballardesque in its exposition of denial, which continues to this day. I want to recommend Modernity, Culture, and the Jew, edited by Bryan Cheyette and Larua Marcus, Stanford, 1998. Articles on Weininger, Svengali, Habermas, Lyotard, Primo Levi, etc., by Bhaba, Bennington, Marcus, Bauman, etc. This is an area that has concerned me for years, and the book is a really excellent resource. Another work I love is Nachum T. Gidal, Jews in Germany, From Roman Times to the Weimar Republic, Konemann, 1998, which almost appears like a coffee-table book, but isn't; instead it's a detailed account, with close to a thousand images, of Ashkenazi life and culture. The work means a lot to me, perhaps for obvious reasons. Finally, I want to reiterate that Penrose's The Road to Reality, A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe, is the most amazing book on physics I've read, and should be attempted by anyone interested in the current theorization of physical (and perhaps every other) reality. I have to say 'attempted' because the mathematics is difficult, although Penrose explains everything, at least on the level of principles. And, since this work touches on the heart of analog/digital issues (in the discussion of the wave equation), I also want to mention, finally finally, the very old work by Edward Huntington, The Continuum and Other Types of Serial Order, 1917, which gives a simple typology of seriality, something to build upon. I hope this material is of use; I apologize again for the length, but I have had a backlog of materials to review, since I was traveling for quite a while.

Sappho's verses expressing love for her female companions on the Greek island of Lesbos have either shocked or delighted generations of readers ever since they were first composed. Her works once filled nine volumes and the ancients called her the "tenth muse," but little has survived to modern times. The 12-line poem, only the fourth to have been recovered, was found on papyrus wrapped around an Egyptian mummy. It was published with an English translation in the Times Literary Supplement. "She obviously had emotional relationships with women of her circle, quite possibly sexual," the poem's translator, Oxford University academic Martin West, told Reuters. "They seem to have had some sort of society in which they could be in each other's company quite a lot, rather cut off from men," he said. "But the were clearly able to have plenty of fun." The poem was rediscovered last year after researchers at Germany's Cologne University identified a papyrus once wrapped round a mummy as part of a 3rd century BC roll containing poems by Sappho. more... http://wireservice.wired.com/wired/story.asp?section=Breaking&storyId=1053942&tw=wn_wire_story -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As critics stepped up the pressure on the system they have sought to paint as a "plastic poll tax", the scheme's achilles heel was increasingly being seen as the cost - between ?15bn and ?18bn, according to some independent analysts. The home secretary, Charles Clarke, intervened to counter claims about the misuses to which the ID card data could be put. Ministers dismissed as "complete and utter nonsense" one report that personal details about 44 million adults could be bought by firms for ?750 a head. So incensed are some party loyalists that Labour's chairman, Ian McCartney, issued a statement reminding hostile MPs and trade unions such as Unison and the T&GWU that - unlike the foundation hospitals row and other rebellions - there was extensive prior consultation over ID cards. Recalling how they were part of the"Warwick agreement" with the unions in 2004, subsequently endorsed by Labour's conference, Mr McCartney said: "The Warwick agreement is not pick and mix." A loyalist MP said: "The unions would complain if other bits of the Warwick agreement were dropped." The rebel MP Bob Marshall-Andrews QC, countered: "There is a very heavy groundswell of opinion against it." He predicted that the scheme would prove to be "a failure of [Millennium] Dome-like proportions, only infinitely bigger. It's going to be a national scandal." In the stalled attempt to pass the bill before the election, 19 Labour MPs rebelled. Tony Blair now has a Commons majority of 67, so 34 rebels - the Campaign Group plus a handful of libertarians - could be enough to defeat him. But not all MPs will vote and few in either camp expect Mr Clarke to lose a second reading on a bill which was a manifesto pledge two months ago. It would be the first such defeat since a backbench Tory revolt against Sunday trading in 1986. More serious, Tory and Lib Dem peers plus Labour critics in the upper house, are hinting that they may have no such inhibitions and are prepared to defy the convention that the Lords does not block a manifesto bill. At the least, amendments will be used to weaken the bill, which the T&GWU opposes on cost, practicability and civil liberties grounds. Unison predicts that some public sector officials might not cooperate with the scheme's implementation. Among criticisms of the bill voiced yesterday were: ? Irish citizens living in Britain or commuting across the borders will not have to carry ID cards; ? EDS, the US computer company involved in the mismanagement of the tax credit scheme may, reportedly, get a central role in the ID card data base; ? the London School of Economics puts the cost of the scheme at ?12bn-?18bn; the IT analyst Kable says ?15bn. The Home Office still insists the scheme, run in conjunction with biometric passports, will cost ?5.8bn over 10 years or ?93 a card; Kable's claim is ?248 each, the LSE's as high as ?300. Mr Clarke dismissed the latter as "a complete nonsense figure" but admitted that the ?93 estimate is still "merely indicative". Price could crucially affect public attitudes because voters are more pragmatic than other critics. A Mail on Sunday poll yesterday suggested that, while a majority of the country (57%) backs the introduction of ID cards, only one in 10 would be prepared to pay ?100 for one. If the price were triple that - as some critics claim - that support plummets to just 2%. Ministers argue that the worldwide move towards biometric passport data, led by the US, means that most of the costs are inevitable and that for ID cards will be marginal. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Now with a standard PC you can broadcast real DVB-T channels ! What do you need ? * A good knowledge of X Window and Linux and basic knowledge in electronics. * A DVB-T set-top box able to receive VHF signals with a bandwidth of 8 MHz (unfortunately most decoders sold in UK only receive UHF signals). You can use French DVB-T receivers which accept VHF and UHF RF signals. * A PC with a recent VGA card able to display in resolutions up to 4096x2048 with 8 bit per pixel with a pixel clock of exactly 76.5 MHz. ATI Radeon 9200SE are reported to work (their PLL can generate every frequency which is a multiple of 2.25 MHz up to 400 MHz). Other VGA cards may work too. If your card cannot generate a 76.5 MHz pixel clock, I can provide alternate images to do some testing. * A cable connecting the VGA output to the set-top box RF input.

The festival debuted in 2004 and united authors working with videoart, experimental cinema, animation, VJ works and musical accompaniment to video. The international competition selection and hors concourse programs of international & Russian festivals & curators were demonstrated in the cinema hall for four days. Jury and audience evaluated official selection videos. Along with screenings ?VIDEOLOGIA 2004 included video gallery, theoretical forums, concerts and performative actions in clubs. Works taking part in the selection were subdivided into two nominations according to the main conceptual lines of the festival: . Intersection of video with other arts (poetry, painting, photography, dance); . (V)ideological statement of an artist. Developing their theoretical and artistic interest in omnipresence of the aesthetical and the seeming lack of taboos for art in contemporary culture curators of ?VIDEOLOGIA 2005 link its key conceptual lines to the issues of the 1st festival. As the sample of das Gesamtkunstwerk, integral creative work, audio-visual art incorporates poetry, dance, theatre, photography and even the non-spectacular self-criticism. This claim for omnivorous wholeness is consonant to the events on the present sociopolitical scene, where alteration has become constancy. The ability of audio-visual works to underline the multitude of thematic elements & to act as digital pseudo-equivalent of the endless scope of modifications makes it the art of kinetic Becoming rather than the art of statuary Being. Dissonance and constraint caused by constant becoming in love, politics, theory, production, economy, technology and war are relieved in cathartic (v)ideological statements, in which audio-visual becomes verbal and words turn into images. We invite artists to participate in ?VIDEOLOGIA 2005 with: Videoart Experimental cinema and video Animation Video theatres Documentaries Video installations VJ Accompaniment to cinema . VOB, DivX, MPEG4, XviD, FLASH, GIF, TIFF, BMP formats on DVD, CDR and VHS are accepted. . Duration of works should not exceed 30 minutes. . The panel of coordinators of the festival will view every video. . Only works created after January 1st, 2003 will be accepted. . The entry deadline is October 20, 2005. . The application form filling is required. . All deliveries from international participants should be marked: "no commercial value - for cultural purposes only". . Jury and audience will evaluate Works of the selection program. .

Initiated by requesting personal commentary from individuals representing several generations of a single family, "Fallout, Part I: An Open Repository" is now open for submissions by anyone concerned with Nicaragua or other similarly imperiled nations. The site presents a written and graphical history for those not familiar with Nicaragua and utilizes collaborative software to investigate the enigma of the Nicaraguan national character. "Fallout" potentially serves as a case study of the lasting effects of globalization and U.S. interventionist policies upon developing nations. "Fallout" is a 2005 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. (aka Ether-Ore). It was made possible with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. BIOGRAPHY Ricardo Miranda Zu?iga grew up between Nicaragua, and San Francisco. Although his formal education has been within the borders of the United States, his personal perspectives and ideology have been molded by a bicultural reality, consisting of such polar elements as Disneyland and the Nicaraguan Leftist Revolutionary movement. A bicultural upbringing tied to a multidisciplinary education has lead to work that attempts to cultivate interaction with the viewer and includes performance, sculpture, video and audio, the Internet or a combination of all. The principle behind the work is communication as a creative process.

The Court rejected arguments saying such lawsuits could quell the spread and growth of new digital video and audio devices, instead siding with companies holding the rights to copyrighted work. "We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by the clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties," Justice David H. Souter wrote in the majority opinion. The ruling means that the case against Grokster is sent back to the lower court, which had previously ruled that file sharing companies could not be held liable for copyright infringement. According to the Supreme Court, there is enough evidence for the case to go to trial. Grokster and StreamCast Networks were relying on the Supreme Court's 1984 Betamax ruling that stated Sony could not be sued over customers using VCRs to record copyrighted content illegally. Justice Souter said there was a key difference in the way file sharing companies marketed their products and whether they took steps to reduce infringement. "There is substantial evidence in MGM's favor on all elements of inducement," Souter wrote. more... http://www.betanews.com/article/US_Supreme_Court_Rules_Against_P2P/1119884733 extra... *The False Mathematics of the RIAA* First, let's consider what actual P2P losses are to the industry. They are much more difficult to calculate than the RIAA would have you believe. Why? First, downloaders pull songs they would never buy; I have Outkast's "Hey Ya" somewhere; I consider it a goofy novelty song, and the only reason I have it is that someone else sync'ed it to a Peanuts animation (everyone on stage dancing to Schroder's piano). It was an amusing but unauthorized use, which I downloaded, smiled at, and never saw again. Oh ya: The CD that song came from -- OutKast's 2003's release, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below -- sold 10-million plus copies. "The Napster to Go model . . . shows that the RIAAs claims of a lost sale for every download to be demonstrably false. If you can download an unlimited number of songs via napster and play them for as long as you continue to subscribe, then the maximum loss the RIAA suffers from a single downloader cannot exceed $15/month no matter how many songs a person downloads." -- via boingboing Over the course of 10 years, that represents total gross losses of $1,800, of which Napster keeps between 15 and 20%. Net loss: $1,500 dollars. But wait, there's more: The Rhapsody Music Subscription from Real Networks charges only $10 per month. That's $120 per year. Over a decade, the loss downloaders present to the industry by not signing up for Rhapsody are: lost revenue of $1,200 (gross). In other words, the total net industry losses are ~$1,000 per decade. Hardly as apocalyptic as portrayed. more again... http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2005/02/the_false_mathe.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Enlisting the help of a marketing firm, the Pentagon began building the database three years ago, but military officials filed a notice announcing plans for it only last month. That is apparently a violation of the federal Privacy Act, which requires that government agencies accept public comment before new records systems are created. A coalition of eight privacy groups has filed a brief opposing the database's creation. David Chu, the undersecretary of defence for personnel and readiness, acknowledged on Thursday that the database had been in the works since 2002. It was just a tool to send general material from the Pentagon to those most likely to enlist, he said. "If we don't want conscription, you have to give the Department of Defence, the military services, an avenue to contact young people to tell them what is being offered. It would be naive to believe that in any enterprise, that you are going to do well just by waiting for people to call you." The issue of the database has emerged as the army and, to a lesser extent, the marines, struggle to meet recruitment goals to replenish the ranks of the all-volunteer services. Pentagon officials are increasingly worried that the national recruiting downturn is not a short-term slump but a long-term crisis threatening the viability of the military. more... http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/privacy-row-as-us-sniffs-out-recruits/2005/06/24/1119321905323.html?oneclick=true -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On Monday, June 27th, Indymedia Bristol's server was seized by the police. Last week, police demanded access to the server to gain the IP details of a posting. The alternative media outlet is receiving advice from civil liberties organisations and the NUJ. Before being legally forced to hand over the server, Indymedia Bristol stated: "We do not intend to voluntarily hand over information to the police as they have requested". Italy-based server autistici found out that the authorities have copied the keys necessary for the decryption of their webmail a year ago [statement 1 | 2]. Since then, the authorities potentially had access to all the data on the disks. Autistici's provider did not inform them about this. Apparently, this is connected to the same investigation as the one that caused an international law enforcement operation in London last October: A few days before the European Social Forum, Indymedia servers in London were seized, prompting a wave of solidarity statements [report]. Note: Indymedia UK is preparing to provide grass-roots non-corporate coverage for the forthcoming G8 protests and events.

The device could easily be incorporated into stylus-controlled handheld computer and its inventors say it reduces the number of errors that users make. This is because the interface does away with the awkward and unnatural syntax of conventional button-based calculators, says Harold Thimbleby at the University of Swansea, in Wales, UK. These often require data to be entered in a non-intuitive order. In contrast, calculations on the new interface are written exactly as they would be on paper. The system also allows a wider range of calculations to be made in a faster and more flexible way. To do this it uses custom-built character recognition software that works out the relationships between characters and symbols by looking at their relative positions. more... http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7583 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Called Clarissa, the program will initially talk astronauts on the International Space Station through tests of onboard water supplies. But its developers hope it will eventually be used for all computer-related work on the station. Clarissa was designed with input from astronauts. They said it was difficult to perform the 12,000 procedures necessary to maintain the ISS and conduct scientific experiments while simultaneously reading through lengthy instruction manuals. "Just try to analyse a water sample while scrolling through pages of a procedure manual displayed on a computer monitor while you and the computer both float in microgravity," says US astronaut Michael Fincke, who spent six months on the station in 2004. Clarissa queries astronauts about the details of what they need to accomplish in a particular procedure, then reads through step-by-step instructions. Astronauts control the program using simple commands like "next" or more complicated phrases, such as "set challenge verify mode on steps three through fourteen". more... http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7584 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Featuring: The INFERNAL NOISE BRIGADE is a 20-piece mutant marching band using drums, horns, voice, flags, and loudspeakers for intervention across the globe. At manifestations in Seattle, Prague, Canc?n, & New York the INB has performed in clouds of gas and hails of rubber bullets without dropping a beat. Between these big international actions the Infernal Noise Brigade performs at festivals, raves, prisons, and Burning Man, leaving a wake of dismantled spectacle in their path. At the rampART even in a battle with our favourite anarcho samba drummers RHYTHMS OF RESISTANCE. FILASTINE performs LivePA/DJ sets that wreck genre, seamlessly integrating hip-hop, batucada, breakcore, drum & bass, politics, and international obscura. LostFilmFests Beibin travels the globe telling stories and spinning movies like a DJ using a video projector, dvd player, and backpack filled with goodies. The roadshow incorporates a sexy, smash-it-up, radical anti-capitalist anti-globalization perspective. Truly "Too Hot for TV" since 1999, the LFF has featured scathing and hilarious social commentary in the form of narrative shorts, documented pranks, hot amateur protest footage, and video re-mixes. Additionally there is an annual weeklong event held in Philly, and guerilla visits to Sundance and Cannes. This jam is about smashing the illusions cast by Hollywood, the Pentagon, and FOX News.

Filastine will also be joined by MC Subzero Permafrost, the rhyme-spitting sephardic ice-princess of New Orleans, on this European tour. Filastine toured the UK last fall as part of Nettle, a project of DJ/Rupture, on the Street Music Arabe tour. His releases are available on Soot Records, Entartete Kunst, and Post World Industries, and he is currently working on a number of collaborations with Brazilian rappers as part of the project Sonar Calibrado. Filastine has performed in a bizarre variety of spaces and nations in the last year, from Argentina to Japan, gate-crashing and delivering up the sonic immediatism. "The live and programmed drums feel like time itself has been sliced open, offering a cross-section of temporality's complex and relative clockwork." (The Wire) "I caught these guys - Filastine and Maga Bo - by chance at the Capitol Hill Block Party, rocking laptops in an impromptu setting on an old beater, wearing orange auto-mechanic suits and black masks. They were the most interesting act of the entire event. Their sound warps the boundaries among drill 'n' bass, Muslimgauze-style Arabic breakbeat terror, and early Meat Beat Mainfesto's intelligent industrial funk." (The Stranger) "Funky laptop madness that spans the gamut from ass shaking to mind melting, with occasional live drumming" (Small Change) mas (mix downloads, press materials, bio): www.filastine.com The INB sound combines elements of drumline, taiko, Mughal and North African rhythms, with elements of Balkan fanfares, breakbeats, and just about anything else. Songs feature vocals and noise fed by miniature FM transmitters to loudspeaker rigs. Infernal equipment is reverse- engineered, from the custom welded drum-harnesses to the uniforms sewn from roadsigns and sanitation workwear. The Infernal Noise Brigade does not perform in a space, but rather occupies it, blurring the line between performer and audience. "The virgin experience of the Infernal Noise Brigade in action can be adrenaline boggling. The music explodes the senses like a thunderstorm." (Clamour Magazine) "Seattle's Infernal Noise Brigade drowns the sound of concussion grenades with their drums." (The Village Voice) "The result, I think, is not only liberating for the band, but also something more raw for the audience, something truly interactive."

July 9-23 Opening Friday July 8, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Participating artists: Bad Radar, Nathalie Bruys, Candela 2, Farmers Manual, Gr?nlund Nisunen, Edo Paulus & Robert Jan Leegte, Jan Peter Sontag and Telco Systems Under the title techno?, during 5 days off there will be eight spectacular sound installations and twelve performances to be seen (and heard) at the Netherlands Media Art Institute. The thread running through techno? is the way in which the techno and alternative electronic music culture has influenced the visual arts and media art, which in turn have been influential on the development of techno and electronic music. Numerous aspects from techno and electronic music are to be found in the installations and five performance evenings of techno?: the spatial qualities of music and sound; temporary escape from everyday reality; the search for boundaries, in which it becomes unclear whether the source of the image or music is human or machine. The Finnish duo Gr?nlund Nisunen presents Ultrasound, an installation in which only localized sound can be heard, sound in the form of a beam. >From the international group Farmers Manual, visitors can borrow helmets which send meditative ultrasound waves through your head. A Momentary Lapse by the German duo Candela 2 permits the viewer to make his or her own audio and visual sculpture. Nathalie Bruys will be making an entirely new installation, and the new installation by Telco Systems will have its world premiere. The exhibition is open Tuesday through Saturday, 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. Admission free. LIVE PROGRAM techno? July 13 - 17 In the live program of techno? a procession of various Live Cinema acts and alternative sound performances comes through. Codespace (Switz.) takes you along on a hypnotic journey over virtual slopes and through crystal structures arising from algorithmic processes. The performance of Aymeric Mansoux (France) and Tom Schouten (Belgium) is a growing process.

Its focus is on the commonalities between art, popular culture and technology. As part of the festival there will be performances, exhibits and presentations in a historical space. STRP will take place on the 'holy' ground of the forbidden city of Philips, where in the 20th century numerous technological innovations were made. A place where Einstein worked at one point and where one of the most ambitious amalgamations of the arts and technology took place: "Poeme Electronique," a collaboration between the architect LeCorbusier with architect/composer Iannis Xenakis, artist Jean Petit, composer Edgard Varese and filmmaker Phillipe Agostini. Coincidence or not, Dick Raaijmakers also was closely involved in this project. STRP gets its inspiration from this amalgamation of technology and art. PROJECT CALL STRP is looking for projects/installations/proposals that fit under one of the following themes: 1) Press "Start" : gaming, interactive installations and playful art works, in which the public can take an active role in the experience and realization of the work. 2) WE ARE THE ROBOTS : robots, robort art, installations.

URL: From sondheim at panix.com Tue Jun 28 19:22:01 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 13:22:01 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] Radio, the World, the Discrete Message-ID: Radio, the World, the Discrete Not only is radio tremulous in its reception of the stars themselves; it is also analogic, requiring no decoding; what you hear, what you record, is what there is. The opposite holds for online radio, packet-protocol radio, no matter how shipped; like a jpg image, it requires specific constructs to make sense of it all. And such constructs tie into very notions of software coding, intellectual property, corporate and personal privacy. What the antenna registers, what the wires contact, may be contacted by all; they are primordial, inert. Give a wavelength or wave- length bundle, give a direction or directions or omni-directions, and what comes in, comes in to any living creature, ready for the interpretation or not, Rosset's idiocy, or the muteness of the world. Move to the Net, Net radio, already the raster is at work; there is a fineness, an absolute floor and absolute ceiling, of the recording/playback - of the apparatus itself - that cannot be bypassed; extrapolation is trusting at best - that nothing in-between, no out-of-packet information, exists to trouble the rest. This is the differend at work, surely, and it is the differend that characterizes the digital - what is not permitted to speak, what is literally circumlocuted. Radio brings the unknown to bear; the Net brings the known to the bearable. Given a text/image/audio/whatever file - that is all there is, nothing more; it exhausts itself and is exhausted and the play of content, the semiosis, exists in the perceiver, not 'out there.' This is secondary narcissism, looping through the machine; primary narcissism is the realm of the analogic, our cosmological identification. === The history of radio is merged with the history of the electromagnetic, and given the movement towards packet and protocol, it is interesting to observe a movement from externality to internality, from brass spheres through the Wimhurst generator, from the crystal detector through the audion. Within the audion, and early triode, the filament glow was visible, an electronic hearth boiling off electrons. This was the analogic pulse of vacuum-tube radio, a pulse of light and heat and the quietest of sounds still sought by rock guitarists and audiophiles alike. Transistors internalized current into the literal black-box, and integrated circuits and circuit boards eliminated almost all of the hand-wiring. With the digital, the unit becomes tight, compact, although as always, still hack- able; repairs are another matter. The analog was a transitive filter, passing along the cosmos within rough bandwidth; the digital is active sampling. The transparency of the analog was reflected in the transparency of the radios themselves (capacitors and transformers etc. notwithstand- ing); the opaqueness of the digital, the complexity of the protocols and their arbitrariness, is reflected in the opaqueness of CPUs. It's both ironic and fascinating that mod cases now bring the hearth-glow back into the heart of the machine, with lights that do nothing but illuminate silent circuitry. We still believe we are among beings; we always will, and that is part and parcel of our cosmic reach, no matter how mediated it becomes. The mistake is to take the mediation and machinic for things themselves; certainly, on the level of _object,_ and certainly not on the level of _function._ We design within the imminence of potential wells, both analog and digital; otherwise we would never hear a thing. _ From sondheim at panix.com Wed Jun 29 10:03:25 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 04:03:25 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] extras Message-ID: extras http://www.asondheim.org/mudrah.mp3 http://www.asondheim.org/nudedescend1.mov http://www.asondheim.org/nudedescend2.mov he is a grand gentleman who stutters on the stares she is a grand lady stairing at the gentleman the gentleman carries a huge burden the lady carries a greater one monsieur duchamp, thank you very much for the human body and we appreciate your ability to run up and down stares From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Wed Jun 29 12:02:07 2005 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 11:02:07 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Second Indymedia Server Seized in UK Within a Year In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <42C2719F.3060007@furtherfield.org> *Second Indymedia Server Seized in UK Within a Year* Posted by timothy on Tuesday June 28, @03:21AM from the this-independent-thing-is-spooky dept.

The sensors detect tiny changes in metabolism and transmit data, via a mobile phone, to the patient's doctor. Scientists at Imperial College London who invented the device believe it will enable some patients to lead a normal life while being kept under constant watch. It has the potential to be developed into a complete body sensor that could be implanted into normally healthy people to pick up early signs of disease. The sensor, which includes a Pentium microprocessor just 2mm square, will initially be implanted in diabetics. Trials will begin by Christmas at St Mary's hospital, London. The implant will be programmed to send an emergency text message via a mobile phone, alerting medical staff to changes in blood-sugar levels. If the problem is serious, the patient will be given immediate medical advice. Once patients become familiar with the system, they could monitor their condition themselves. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1650905,00.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Twenty Labour rebels lined up with Tory and Liberal Democrat MPs to vote against the bill's second reading. Ex-minister John Denham says he expects the government will have to make major changes to get the bill through. Home Secretary Charles Clarke told MPs ID cards would help counter, not create, a "big brother society". The ID cards vote was the first proper test of a key policy area in the Commons since Labour was returned on a reduced majority. Those who voted against the scheme included: ex-International Development Secretary Clare Short and former ministers Glenda Jackson, Kate Hoey and Mark Fisher, plus two new MPs Linda Riordan and Katy Clark. The bill, which now faces a tough time in its committee stage, secured a second reading by 314 votes to 283. Mr Denham, who was chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee in the last Parliament, said: " I think the government is going to have to make a number of changes to its approach to the bill to be sure of getting it through." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4632835.stm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead.

Over these 2-3 weeks, I will create twenty-four digital extravaganzas, with each one being loosely or closely centered on the content, ideas, images and words of others. Think of this as ego stroking and translation, a way to connect to those I have never met and might not ever meet, and play with ideas of interaction and interface. Some have offered their content, others will simply be robbed, and all will be enchanted, confused, annoyed and giddily stroked. Bio: "As a NET ARTIST, I am apparently diying or dead. With that in mind, I bask in my zombie glow, my rotting wires and my urge to bite through skulls. I could list those academic and worldly accolades that have trophied themselves on my work, but I am only as good as the last swirling mess I spit out.

She placed a sign "advertising" the offer and a yellow chair outside her house, extending the boundaries of her home to encompass the boundaries of her wireless network. Both the sign and the chair defined a "real world blog space" which challenged the idea of "open network". This "grass roots" design approach illustrates how wireless technologies could become interfaces to recreate transient spaces for conversations at the threshold of the public and the private, the physical and the electronic. >From Smartmobs http://www.smartmobs.com/archive/2005/06/29/free_access_fro.html ********** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks for the tireless work during your residency Jason, it sounds like you've sacrificed quite a few things in order to present us with these pieces. although i have been extremely inactive on the list since it reopened, i've been reading and interacting with the works you've posting. to follow marc's question, but in a different direction, i'm curious about your thoughts on the relationship between the spaces in which you were working (whether in bed or sitting in your car) and the process of distributing them over an email list and urls. you're narratives that accompanied the links provided an interesting, and not merely tangential, link to physicality... thanks again + good luck with the IRS and your teeth! ryan From sondheim at panix.com Thu Jun 30 00:00:23 2005 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 18:00:23 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] two questions - need information - Message-ID: Two Questions - At http://www.asondheim.org/ - go to 'book' - a number of jpegs.

Message-ID: <5d482641dc61786c7d5426e275565c89@furtherfield.org> Hi All, I've been taken a look back through Jason Nelson's residency. What a diverse and deep labour of love. I searched into each interface for the behavioural model it proposed I adopt- where the rewards lay, how those rewards were elicited (like a change of expression in a baby's face in response to a smile) and then indications of identities of the artists. Every decision became part of building a portrait of a group of people. I'm drawn to the pieces that that connect words and architecture- ley's tree poem, praying in the suburbs and daily's inner and inner space- or are they all getting muddled now. Then something completely different - Golan's and de Pinto's faces smiling under my mouse strokes, like half washed away murals. One thing I'd like to hear more about though Jason is your relationship with the Flash software and perhaps with other artists who work with Flash. What, if any do you feel are the strengths/limitations of the software on your explorations of interface/creature creation? I know it may be well trodden territory for some but I don't think I've seen you write about it. What about other people on the list....? cheers Ruth From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Thu Jun 30 13:57:52 2005 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc) Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 12:57:52 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Re: Discussion on Jason Nelson's Residency...

Sadly, I am sure I left many many great talents and friends out of the residency. I just didnt want to only do the well known, the regular posters, I wanted to bring others in from other areas of my life. Hence the Niece and Nephew, the Davin Heckman, the Strickland and others. In addition, the residency was a way to say thank you to some, while accomplishing another goal. Which is great because when viewing your selction of artist's work as source material - we also got to see other people's/artist's work as well, which opened it up contextually... >Perhaps my greatest fear in creating with other's work, was the annoyingly resilient phantom thought that they would think it sucks, that they just didnt like it. A very human reaction to such a situation - I come from that school of thought that a residency is also about taking advantage of possible option(s, exploring and touching on areas that one would not normally delve into, regarding one's usual form of practice, which can be traumatic and enlightening at the same time. Just by taking part in a list residency, changes the whole dynamic and relationship of the artist, the work, the audience, possible collaborators etc... >as if I was invading someones home and using their bath towels and reading their daily calenders. Or perhaps a better description would be pulling the salt from a baked cake. In the original answer you talked about the application Flash. I would like to delve deeper into why you are using the application another time perhaps, but for the moment I think that it is relevant for to ask something else regarding the statement above. The published results each showed compositions consisting of multi-narratives on many levels, mainly your own as well as the original narratives/ideas. Was the experience of making it, about stuff? What was more important to you - their content or your content? >And as far as precious resource. Fortunately I dont think many of those who agreed for me to use their work, thinks of their art in that way. That is the beauty with digital bits, there are no real originals. So I wasn't corrupting the original, but simply building something from the clone of the original. The other benefit is that however their writing or images or sounds were presented, the readers know the context of the residency and that any wackiness or changes to the 'resources" were created by me and thus any crappiness or missed context or whatever was not of their doing. Personally, I would not bring such a term as 'corruptin'g into this dicussion, like you say people agreed to have their works used as resource material for the residency and it has created an interesting set of works that are contextually fascinating, and a valuable dialogue has come out of this fluid act - yet, intellectual authenticity might wander into it... the meaning changes when someone else takes over the reigns and identity of a work, the intention becomes something else. This of course may seem obvious to some and yourself - one begins to realise how valuable other people's voices are out there, not just in art. This complexity is fascinating because, usually a concept usually needs to be refined to be communicated well. So a psychology is at play - on one level it becomes about other people's work and your work at the same time, a merging of ideas and creative crafting. Depending where one is coming from, but keeping it based on your residency - a type of value or signifier is telling me that it potnetially moves into a realm that suggests that, it is less about ownership and more about the activity itself, the process of creation is equal to the final result of the work that is seen. All the resources are known, already layed out, already deconstructed - not out of nowhere... marc Marc and all, In response to Marc's question below: MARC SEZ: [[Jason, I would like to know what elements effected you and what you found was to be different, when working on other artists' materials, went through your mind as you went through the process of using such a valuable and potentially sensitive resource?]] MY RESPONSE: JASON SEZ: I went through sways, these periods of confidence and insecurity. At first I was very worried about simply getting enough material. I was worried that I would need, be forced, grab other's work, without consent (which I did a few times anyway), and how that might offend those whose work I corralled. But luckily there were heaps of volunteers, and others who agreed beforehand. This however created a new problem. Who to pick. I was afraid if I didnt pick someone their feelings might be hurt, their ego stilted. Sadly, I am sure I left many many great talents and friends out of the residency. I just didnt want to only do the well known, the regular posters, I wanted to bring others in from other areas of my life. Hence the Niece and Nephew, the Davin Heckman, the Strickland and others. In addition, the residency was a way to say thank you to some, while accomplishing another goal. Perhaps my greatest fear in creating with other's work, was the annoyingly resilient phantom thought that they would think it sucks, that they just didnt like it. After a few days there were these expectations for how each residency creation would be different and uniquely involve the base materials, the images and text of others. And I knew those whose work I used were looking forward to seeing what I did. So, unlike those poems we throw into envelopes in exchange for rejection slips a few months later. There was an immediate response, one that I dreaded and impatiently waited for. And even when the comments were good, I still found some negative or 'not as positive' to emphasize. Originally I had intended on using the loadMovie command for most of the creations. Basically I wanted to pull other's SWFs into an interface, without changing the work, simply pulling in a url and having it work with I built. Unfortunately most of the SWF urls sent my way were to big (file size) to use with any speed. So I used a decompiler, to rip apart the swf and yank out the sounds and images and even actionscript from the published file. Honestly, I hadnt realized how easy this is to do, and it was a bit strange, as if I was invading someones home and using their bath towels and reading their daily calenders. Or perhaps a better description would be pulling the salt from a baked cake. And as far as precious resource.

Or could it actually be harmful? How creative can one be with computers without a sophisticated ability to control the tools? We would like to produce an issue based on practical experiences of artists, designers, performers and educators who either write code, or teach others to write code, for creative outcomes. We would also like to include computer scientists and programmers who collaborate with creative practitioners. Shorter accounts (up to 2,500 words) that describe objectives, technologies, techniques, etc. can be valuable.

The basic reason I use it, is that I am sloppy, I leave off details, include misspellings in my work, leave links dry and all the other signs of a mind gone off to another world for vacation. And with hard coding, with DHTML, javascript and all the other fancy fancies, I would spend hours searching for these small imperfections, these missing parcels and potions. So at least with flash I can check the actionscript and all. Really any work isnt about the technology, and shouldnt be about the tool. I you use a shovel, when you dig it leaves a shovel shape. But to use the shovel as an artistic tool or killing implement, the idea is to leave the shovel behind, as if the hole just appeared with aid if implement, or head crushed simply by air pressure. Of course people will look at this work and say. Oh that is flash. Only because there isnt another tool like it out there. I do think many things look too flashy, but things also look to photoy, or soundy, or texty. Really....it is and always will be about the content. As far as other artists. I do exchange flas quite a lot with other people. This makes play and learning terribly easy, and I love swimming within another's net space. You can tell heaps about other people by the way they organize their libraries, the way they name layers, how they use objects, where they hide things etc....there is a sociological essay there somewhere.....hm....maybe I can get Marco media to fund it. Lastly, Let me add that Flash is like a series of magic tricks...the hidden and illusion are much better pals than the engine jockeys filling up grocery store parking lots on Saturday nights. I could use a snow cone. I like grape. cheers, Jason --- Ruth Catlow wrote: > Hi All, > > I've been taken a look back through Jason Nelson's > residency.

Everything about the residency was a bit of a fluke. I didn't even consider what it would take to do what I set out to do at the start. I had no idea how I would put people's content into some multileveled and hopefully interactive interface. Each creation came about at in some hurried hour after eleven (for the most part). The descriptions happened, because I liked the idea or formalizing the process a bit. It seems successfull serial projects have some form they play and utilize to breed happy happy family (two for two dollars). So I started using this smae e-mail form that just so happened to include a comment about where I was. Honestly I think I was a bit drunk when I wrote that. Then I started to actually consider where I created. How on some days I use upto six different computers in various locations, and carry a laptop at the expense of my shoulders. I wish we had our webcams on all the time, so others could see us play, and we could perve and peer into artists little absurd and largely domestic worlds. HEY...I am going to stop this e-mail and start another...because I have a good idea for the list. OK so stop here and go back to your inbox. Go back now. Come on...please...I might hug your brains in!!! Jason ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Message-ID: <20050630132024.76713.qmail@web54610.mail.yahoo.com> Based on Ryan and Marc's prompting, and birthed by my little missives from my recent residency, I thought we should all play a game. So.....SEND A MESSAGE GIVING A PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN PLACES YOU WORK OR WRITE OR WATCH YOUR ART. I will start...and name them in the e-mail subject line (Something like art/work space: Nelson (with your last name obviously)) and we will convince Marc and Ruth to publish the results... Most of my work happens in three places: 1. At my home: a high set queenslander: supposedly three bedrooms, but really just a bunch of open spaces: the house has a mango tree in the backyard that attracts bats and bat shit, they keep me company with their caterwauling and purring wings. Within the house I find myself sitting on the bed in the front room, hard wood floors, ornate moldings, drafty dial out windows with these peppered panes that indicate age and small scale manufacturing. To my left is a small subdivision made by a large stand up cabinet that was made in England, bought in Bethany Oklahoma and shipped to Australia. An suitcase I stole from the trash bin of a thrift store holds various bottles of water and papers, and I have a DSL wireless network that I fear the neighbors leach off. My girlfriend likes lots of pillows, so there are u-shapes, long fluffies, short firms and pretty stiffs. above me is a makeshift romantic netting, that seems as of late to act as catchment for any kind of small object and pens. this being an old house, there are few outlets, so we've grown used to walking over extension cords and exchanging lamps for laptop power. 2. In my office at Griffith University, I share my space with spiders and ants. The spiders stir up trouble by dropping to the desk and hiding around the mouse. I keep my office closed and speakers loud, ignoring knocks and keeping the room as cold as possible. They put two filing desks and filing cabinets in the room, which I use as display cases for old science, sewing machines and heaps of maps and comic books. And for every old book sale I buy tech aged tech manuals and medical texts, having gone through two scanners and an additional hard drive just to capture what I see as the lost art of combining the mystic with the tangible. On the door of my office are intelligence testing cards, all shapes and sequences. On the billboard next to my office, I tear down credit card ads and religious flyers every other day.The room 2-04 is in an ugly building built in the late 90s. It feels weak and temporary. So I feel at home. 3. Four years ago when I started creating, I was largely computerless. So I became used to creating where ever I could find some technology. I created an old work called cube during a friends house party and another work called color at the library (using a trial version of flash (reloading it each time). Ummm of course there is more, but I am sleepy and have to visit the dentist in the morning. You will be seeing a work about death soon. SO NEXT PERSON PLEASE!!!

It shouldn't be too complicated to set up- a nice way of doing this so that people could decide who they wanted to be available to each other. more later...

But yesterday Bob Dylan was facing accusations of selling out after it emerged the singer had agreed an exclusive deal to sell some of his rarest tracks at Starbucks, the coffee shop chain targeted by anti-globalisation protesters as a symbol of American cultural dominance. Bob Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962 features the much sought-after material recorded at the Gaslight Cafe in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, a focal point of the folk revival in the early 1960s. Tracks include rare versions of A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall and Don't Think Twice It's Alright, as well as folk standards Barbara Allen and The Cuckoo. more... http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,1517048,00.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
