Message-ID: <5180F575.90505@furtherfield.org> Csound is on Floss manuals. Csound is one of the best known and longest established programs in the field of audio-programming. It was developed in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by Barry Vercoe. Csound's history lies deep in the roots of computer music. It is a direct descendant of the oldest computer-program for sound synthesis, 'MusicN' by Max Mathews. Csound is free and Open Source, distributed under the LGPL licence and is tended and expanded by a core of developers with support from a wider community. Csound has been growing for more than 25 years. There is rarely anything related to audio you cannot do with Csound. You can work by rendering offline, or in real-time by processing live audio and synthesizing sound on the fly. You can control Csound via MIDI, OSC, or via the Csound API (Application Programming Interface). In Csound, you will find the widest collection of tools for sound synthesis and sound modification, including special filters and tools for spectral processing. more? http://en.flossmanuals.net/csound/ From angel.diangel at gmail.com Wed May 1 13:31:14 2013 From: angel.diangel at gmail.com (Angel Rodriguez) Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 12:31:14 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Mediators exhibition: expanded photography Message-ID: Hello Dear Network of New Media: To you all creators, researchers and thinkers. I am delighted to invite you to the Private View of MEDIATORS an exhibition that is opening this thursday the second of may at 18:00 to 21:00. *Opening day second of May 2013* *From 18:00 to 21:00* *Exhibition will be open from: 02/05/13 to: 08/05/13* *Opening hours from 12:00 to 18:00* venue: http://www.thewaywardgallery.com/ *MEDIATORS * *Exhibition website:* *http://angelrokatz.wordpress.com/ * This exhibition brings together a group of female artists who are exploring the photographic image. The themes and concepts they explore in their work vary greatly, but the connecting link between them is their interest for establishing relationships with other mediums. Some of them are incorporating objects within the photographic set-up. Others are constructing multi-layered scenarios, for instance Alice Evans Staged series and the most adventurous explorers are adopting analogue photographicprocesses in their work. This approach is very important when taking into consideration that we are immersed in a world where the proliferation and fascination for digital images has generated an immense conglomerate of photographs published indiscriminately on the Internet. Therefore, it seems to be wise to have a look at this emerging wave of creators that are working in the field of expanded photography and pushing the barriers of traditional ideas about techniques and mediums. The Mediators exhibition project aims to display a set of artworks that invite the audience to re-think the role of the photographic image as a provocative entity while inviting them to play with light, shapes and surfaces alongside the gallery space. The work will be displayed in an installation-type layout, which seeks to be less restrictive than the conventional white cube. This exhibition also explores experiments with photographic imagery on different surfaces and reveals how these experiments not only correspond to the need to find a technical solution, but are more a consequence of a conceptual echo, one the artists find along their way while researching and working with their photographic image. The second objective of this exhibition is to establish a mutual contribution by both artist and curator. Then this exhibition will be the first in a series of projects to promote artists that are both interesting and valuable in terms of their research and formal expression. Hence, I will be inviting the network of professionals that I have built in London?s art scene to introduce them to a community that includes gallery directors and press. *Alice Evans* The creation process and the ideas that have led Alice Evans to get to the point of maturity in her practice, has been influenced by the synthesized and extended experiments of the Epic Theatre of Bertolt Brecht. He proposed that a play should not cause the spectator to identify emotionally with the characters or action before him or her, but should instead provoke rational self-reflection and a critical view of the action on the stage. Evans is interested in the integration of photographic imagery and installation. As it happens for example with the staged series, in these photo shots, she played with the possibility of creating an expansion of the space where the character was staged whilst layering the background and the foreground in an rare continuity, this immerse situation is something that incorporates the presence of the viewer as an active element for the completion of the photograph as a result the viewer constitutes another extension of the layers and planes proposed by the artist. In this way her photographic assemblages are combining landscape photography as a background and the photographic set up where the models were staged. *Abigail Box* The more recent work of Abigail Box was painted with the objective in mind (to use methods which 'distance' her from the original image allowing her to paint in a more abstract manner). She is using still shots of explosions - both real and some computer game designed blasts. The remnants of Explosions as patches is a very innovative intervention within the field of mediatic painting, this procedure can be understood as a mixture between analogue techniques such as the oil painting and technological mediations to enrich perceptively the features of the final painting. Most recently, she has been painting explosions from video stills. In using them as vehicles for painterly experimentation and she feels that they are fantastic carriers of colour and light. Drawing parallels between painted abstraction and the idea that in reality taking on board all of the visual information of an explosion could be seen as an enigmatic and abstract experience. For this exhibition Box has painted a piece that involves working in ways that encourage her to look differently at the photographic material that she works from. This action allows her to take a distance from representation and instead embrace mistranslation and intuition, interrupting accuracy and making paintings, which are visually more inventive. Encouraging a fascination with looking and ways of seeing constructed imagery and painting as both a surface and as an invented space. *Vasilisa Forbes* Superposition of imagery generated by computer is a constant manifestation of our current visual culture and this is one of the main interests that Vasilisa Forbes has been attracted to. In her photographic practice she integrates different references ranging from artistic photographers to fashion photographers whose explorations have blurred the notions of commercial imagery whilst playing with a painterly approach like the work of Viviane Sassen that has dramatically changed the face of fashion photography. This initiative has fused two worlds -fashion and fine art- which practices have been constantly separated by its different purposes, the first one has been widely stereotyped by its exacerbate cult to the beauty and banality and the latter one has strongly argued been extremely conceptual and done for an exclusively audience, nonetheless trans-disciplinarily has bring together these two contexts that seemed to collide in an spiral circle, this kind of convergence is not a new drift, nevertheless in terms of mutual contributions can be understood as an important step forward, likewise the Hours series of Vasilisa who has made an ongoing series of performative photographs in which her self-portraits seem to exist in a suspended state between a narrative created by the trauma of a recent event, and an exploration of its aftermath. Strange poses contrasting with strange landscapes displayed on different sizes and mounted on colourful frames and mats. With this set up she aims to enable the viewer to perceive the photographic imagery as an object rather than a simple picture. *Clare Gosling* The pi?ces of Clare Gosling are based on memories that she got from time spent in Mongolia. She recreates these images from what she remembers, therefore her pictures akin to be her residual and fragmentary memories which are the vestiges kept in her mind, when she remembers those landscapes and that scenery which have had a powerful effect on her artwork. Gosling recreated these hazy memories through the usage of colour, photography and other materials to create this misty feeling captured in her imagery. The cut away parts in the artworks represent gaps in her memory of the Mongolian landscape and through layers of resin she have cut away part of the image. The final piece is a piece that sits between the spectrum of the mediatic painting and the experimental photography. Clare is also currently working on some new artworks based on photographs she took with the camera that used to belong to her grandfather. She took those photographs in Kent where her grandfather used to live and where she spent some time as a child. *Marta Ceynowa* ?Stop ?taking? pictures. Start ?making? them?. So I made them The images that Marta is showing in the exhibition are series that might be considered either as photography or painting or both. While doing this she first painted, later constructs the unique abstract negative. Then developed these in the colour darkroom. What is interesting about printing in the colour darkroom is how colours change from negative to the positive. The actual print allows her to manipulate and rearrange them, as she wants. Her aim is to push boundary between those two mediums. As painting is unique at first hand, there is only one unique piece; here it?s possible to make more than one copy. In case of photography the question that arise is ?can be this action be considered as photography, just by using darkroom, without even using a camera? In the past photography was in a way taken twice ? once in the camera, by pressing a shutter speed and then in the darkroom, by developing a film and making a print. Now in the era of digital images photography is taken only once by simply pressing a button. The processes of the darkroom and handmade prints have been forgotten. Marta believes that she might go against the stream and come back to the roots of this medium and use non- figurative, abstract form to allow the viewer to stimulate their own imagination and creativeness. Marta is particularly interested in blurring the notions of those two mediums whilst finding the way to combine them together. Painting because is the oldest form of art; She has recovered the gestures of the prehistoric cave?s drawings then developed through centuries. Then when photography was invented painting went to a new genre allowing all different forms of abstract and non-figurative presentation. Nowadays photography does what painting did for centuries - record the reality. Now maybe even record the abstraction. -- John Angel Rodriguez Independent Curator -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Reviewed By Nina Schuyler April 29th, 2013 While a short story collection can be knitted together in a lot of different ways?character, theme, setting, subject matter or tone?how tightly it should be woven is less defined. Some collections are so knotted that all the life is wrung out of them. Others are so loose it feels as if the writer had to dig deep to fill up pages. In her debut collection, I Want to Show You More, Jamie Quatro has accomplished a rare paradox: the collection is stitched together and, yet, it?s loose and baggy, letting in a lot of surprise. Short shorts live next to long stories; surrealism is neighbors with realism. You can hear the murmurs of Flannery O?Connor, and also George Saunders, Lorrie Moore and Donald Barthelme. Thematic threads hold some of it together?God, transcendence, adultery, running, illness, and family. And in a few of the stories, we revisit some of the same characters. The stories are all set in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, which straddles Georgia and Tennessee. It?s a perfect metaphor for Quatro?s collection: bagginess and a tight weaving coexisting. It?s bound to frustrate some readers and delight others. But that?s one of the risks of taking a risk. more? http://therumpus.net/2013/04/i-want-to-show-you-more-by-jamie-quatro/ From helen at creative-catalyst.com Wed May 1 14:08:44 2013 From: helen at creative-catalyst.com (helen varley jamieson) Date: Wed, 01 May 2013 14:08:44 +0200 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Open Walkthrough, 8-9 May; and We have a situation! 22nd May Message-ID: <518105CC.8010902@creative-catalyst.com> hi everyone, The next open walkthrough in UpStage will take place next week on Wednesday 8 May 9PM CET (7am Thursday 9 May, in Aotearoa/NZ; find your local time here .

Message-ID: <518108BF.9010602@furtherfield.org> The World's First Website Gets Its Original Web Address Back. The folks at CERN, the organization responsible for devising the fundamental web standards, are celebrating World Wide Web's 20th birthday by bringing back the first ever website to its original URL. Although the first website was launched in 1991, it was on April 30, 1993 when CERN made the WWW technology available on a royalty-free basis. The website, obviously very scarce by today's standards, contains only text explaining some of the basics of the World Wide Web. It was originally available at this address ? http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html ? but for many years that URL has been redirecting to http://info.cern.ch. Now, CERN has dug up a 1992 copy of the site ? the earliest it could find ? and put it back online at its original address. more? http://mashable.com/2013/04/30/worlds-first-website/ From netbehaviour at furtherfield.org Wed May 1 14:30:25 2013 From: netbehaviour at furtherfield.org (netbehaviour) Date: Wed, 01 May 2013 13:30:25 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Peer to Platform: Artist Collective vs. Social Network at ICA tonight Message-ID: <51810AE1.3080305@furtherfield.org> Peer to Platform: Artist Collective vs. Social Network. 1 May 2013 ?10 / ?8 Concessions / ?7 ICA Members / ?5 ICA Student Members This panel discussion will highlight the overlaps between the way in which a radical artist collective functions and how individuals operate together within the most contemporary of frameworks, the social network. If the radical artist collective is posited as a network for shared political ideals and collaborative production, could it be proposed that an emerging generation of digitally-native artists is more comfortable establishing such structures online? Perhaps the accessibility of virtual space, the promise of relative anonymity and the corporate overtones of online platforms provide the perfect forum to continue the legacy of groups such as Bernadette Corporation. (http://ica.org.uk/35536/Exhibitions/Bernadette-Corporation-2000-Wasted-Years.html) Reflecting on the notion of the network and questions of authorship, ownership, self-promotion, and sincerity, the conversation will explore the ways in which ? arguably ? the peer-to-peer bond of the artist collective has been replaced by the virtual connections of Facebook and Twitter. Chaired by Ben Vickers, the panel will comprise Lizvlx from UBERMORGEN.COM (http://www.ubermorgen.com/2010/index.html), Metahaven (http://www.metahaven.net/) and Ruth Catlow from Furtherfield.

Regardless of constructed histories and collective memories, remembering means jumping from one sequence to another. Each reading guides towards a new reality and each reality illuminates a new path to discover curves, waves, missing details, obscured secrets, and disguised opinions. By navigating through sequences of time, Time Cube aims at dwelling in past and future memories by (i) reconstructing narratives; (ii) experiencing diverse realities simultaneously; (iii) connecting the temporal with the spatial; and (iv) processing the evidences of fiction and fact together. Following the same line of thought, The Castle focuses on the unnerving sensation of paranoia, doom and egotism emanating from the inversion of the ancient concept of fortress to the underground haven for the political and military elite of the Cold War era and its contemporary transition into the tourist attraction. The central object of the Biennial is "Facility D-0, Tito's Atomic War Command" located in Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Now, this very object still stands as a unique fiction, which is also a pastiche of industrial aesthetics and facts with working engines and ventilators as the backdrop of a historical fact. The bunker simply freezes time and is totally isolated from the outer world. At the same time, the bunker unfolds all the possible tensions, disappointments, dreams, hopes, and miseries of the entire geography.

The shelter occupies a space of 6.500 square meters and consists of 12 connected blocks. The construction and existence of this bunker was kept secret until the 1990s. The object is administered by the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Biennial Directorate wants to protect it and keep it preserved with the help of artists and their artworks.

Wikitopia::Panel Discussion 2 September 19, 2010 HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Community College Phil Morton (founder of the Video Area and the Video Data Bank at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and collaborators such as Dan Sandin (founder of the Electronic Visualization Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago) and Jane Veeder (co-founder of the Electronic Visualization Center at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) collaborated on realtime audio video projects that anticipated current New Media Art theorypractices, Open Source and Free Culture movements. These artists collaborated in a radical and experimental social Media Art network which also included Jamie Fenton, Larry Cuba, Ted Nelson, Tom DeFanti, Kate Horsfield, Lyn Blumenthal and Gene Youngblood. Creating projects that deeply influenced national and regional perspectives on Media Art, these Media Art Histories document alternative and playful approaches to openness in the development and distribution of Media Art. In 2007 I initiated the Phil Morton Memorial Research Archive, containing Phil Morton?s ?personal video databank? of materials documenting these histories. My presentation draws from this original research in order to share and extend openings into these pasts and their futures. http://vimeo.com/17393872 From sondheim at panix.com Wed May 1 16:26:21 2013 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 10:26:21 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety Message-ID: https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety https://soundcloud.com/asondheim/anxiety From ale at furtherfield.org Wed May 1 16:55:52 2013 From: ale at furtherfield.org (Alessandra Scapin) Date: Wed, 01 May 2013 15:55:52 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Coming soon: Glitch Moment/ums at Furtherfield Gallery Message-ID: <51812CF8.4050506@furtherfield.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *You are cordially invited to the opening event of /Glitch Moment/ums/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday 08 June 2013, 2-5pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Exhibition & Events* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Opening Event* Saturday 08 June 2013, 2-5pm with *glitch performance by Antonio Roberts* at 3pm *Exhibition Opening times* Sunday 09 June - Sunday 28 July 2013 Open Friday to Sunday 11-5pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *About /Glitch Moment/ums/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Curated by Rosa Menkman & Furtherfield.* * Featuring: Alma Alloro, Melissa Baron, Nick Briz, Benjamin Gaulon, Jos?

It's a fascinating subject, I did a lot of research into Robin Hood for my current project. I hadnt realised that the Robin Hood story exists in many cultures. There are many Indian ones around to this day, and in China a whole genre of fiction around these type of stories (called 'Wuxia' fiction). My project is called 'Sherwood Rise'. It's an adaptation of the Robin Hood story, set in modern day Britain. It's a transmedia story, told over 4 days, through emails, newspapers and mobile phones running augmented reality. To subscribe to the story --> http://itsthetruth.org I want to warn you first that you'll get quite a few emails (only for 4 days though!). Also I've been blogging about the background and development of the project: http://augmentedwonder.blogspot.co.uk thanks, dave On 1 May 2013 17:16, marc garrett wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a copy of this as book already, but if you have not got it and > are interested.

Message-ID: <51822BFD.8020801@furtherfield.org> Jennifer Chan Interview: Interpassivity & Internet Pop Culture. Interviewed by Marc Garrett. Some have proposed Jennifer Chan to be part of what has been termed as the post-internet era. But, this is an inadequate representation of the spirit, criticality and adventure at play in her work. Chan's awareness and use of the Internet reflects a way of life, that situates its networks as a primary resource. Chan lives amongst various worlds and engages in different shades of being; a self-described ?amateur cultural critic', a net artist, a media artist, and academic. Her work exists both online and in physical realms, it is always present and contemporary. This is because her work lives in a world where the scripting of official art definitions loses its power. People have exploited technology to facilitate new behaviours where the artist or art amateur redefine what art is on their own terms. We are now in a post-art context. It reflects a very real, societal shift. Mainstream art culture no longer owns the consciousness of art, Chan and others like her are pulling it apart. http://www.furtherfield.org/features/interviews/jennifer-chan-interview-interpassivity-internet-pop-culture -- ---> A living - breathing - thriving networked neighbourhood - proud of free culture - claiming it with others ;) Other reviews,articles,interviews http://www.furtherfield.org/reviews.php Furtherfield ? online arts community, platforms for creating, viewing, discussing and learning about experimental practices at the intersections of art, technology and social change. http://www.furtherfield.org Furtherfield Gallery ?

Message-ID: <5182382E.4080508@furtherfield.org> Saturday 18 May 10:00-18:00 Ellentriek #17: Hack your knitting machine with Knitic! Pianofabriek Exhibition space Rue du Fortstraat 35, 1060 Brussels Ellentriek goes textile: liberating knitting machines In the eighties and nineties electronic knitting machines were readily available. But it was never a simple task to knit an image, a drawing, photograph, text you designed yourself with it. You could buy premade images on floppies of punch cards. This is all about to change! With Knitic you can connect your computer directly to the knitting machine. Do you have a Brother KH930 or KH940? Do you finally want to do what you want with it? Are you fascinated by open hardware/free software and are you curious to experience this specific way of working and thinking? Or do you, as a hardcore knitter want to see what?s possible when the technological electronics part of the knitting machine has been changed? Or are you just curious to come and test the old knitting machine with a new brain? Come to our workshop of ?Ellentriek goes knitting? on Saturday the 18th of May. 10-13h We will replace the proprietary brain of your machine. The old one is not broken, it is just disconnected. Under professional guidance we will assemble a few electronic components. The next step is hooking up your computer to the machine and to show you how to work with Knitic (Knitic is hard-and software which is easy to work with). This part of the workshop is also for beginners and people who know nothing about electronics. 14-18h Come and test the new old machines and knit a photograph, text, image.. Who: with Knitic.com (Varvara Guljajeva & Mar Canet) & knitter Claire Williams Please contact us on beforehand if you have a knitting machine to hack, type Brother machine KH 930 KH 940. wendy attttt constantvzw.org We contact you on the what and how.

The industrial area with its rusty metal surfaces, broken glass and the unique acoustic in the domes provide a rich repertoire of fascinating sounds which reflect the area?s ambience. We could not resist the attraction of the place and visited it in 2009, equipped with microphones and recording devices. Subsequently the recordings were given to some musicians in order to get different interpretations of the sound material. The goal was to translate the impressions of the place into music. Recently more artists decided to work with our sound material to produce new tracks for this second Radarstation album, thus creating more versatile perspectives of that soundscape.

TROY, NY - April 8th, 2013 - The Arts Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute announces the premiere of a mechanomyogram (MMG) multi-media production, "[radical] signs of life," on May 3rd at 4:00 pm and May 4th at 7:30 pm in Studio 2 at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC). Through responsive dance, "[radical] signs of life" externalizes the mind?s non-hierarchical distribution of thought. Music is generated from the dancers? muscles and blood flow via biophysical sensors that capture sound waves from the performers? bodies. This data triggers complex neural patterns to be projected onto multiple screens as 3D imagery. As the audience interacts with the images produced, they enter into a dialogue with the dancers. A backstage pictures gallery can be seen at the bottom website link. The performance makes use of biophysical technology to integrate networked bodies and interactive dance. It was conceived and directed by new media artist and game designer Heidi Boisvert in collaboration with an international team of artists, including Pauline Jennings (Choreographer), Doug Van Nort (Sound Designer), Allen Hahn (Set & Lighting Designer), Raven Kwok (Visual Designer), Amy Nielson (Costume Designer) and Marco Donnarumma (Sensor Designer & Developer). The project features the Xth Sense (XS), a biophysical sensor that detects and captures mechanical sound waves produced at the onset of musculature contraction. For "[radical] signs of life," a wireless network and stand alone armband was custom developed for the XS by engineer MJ Caselden, and industrial designer, Krystal Pernaud. The choreography for the hour-long performance will be composed in real-time by five dancers from a shared movement database in accordance with pre-determined rules. Outfitted with two wireless sensors each, the dancers--Jennifer Mellor, Ellen Smith Ahern, Hanna Satterlee, Avi Waring and Willow Wonder--will create patterns that dissolve from autonomous polyrhythms to intersecting lines as they slip through generative video and light. "[radical] signs of life" was produced, in part, at Harvestworks with funds from the Rockefeller Foundation?s New York City Cultural Innovation Fund and the National Endowment for the Arts. The work was made possible through generous support from the Rensselaer Arts Department along with iEAR Studios, and EMPAC staff. Rehearsal space was granted by an Artistic Residency at the Contemporary Dance and Fitness Center in Montpelier, Vermont. Limited Seating. Reservations recommended. To make reservations, please contact the EMPAC Box Office at 518.276.3921. Media Contact: Heidi Boisvert, heidijboisvert at gmail.com, +.1.917.536.2792 Full press package available upon request.

Look at The Vaught-Kampf machine in Blade Runner (1982) or the titular character in Max Headroom (1985). The use of Glitch use as an artistic aesthetic in itself has accelerated with the democratisation of technologies that make technology that prodcues glitches obsolescent. When a technology becomes redundant, its previous technical inefficiencies become available for aesthetic recuperation and appreciation. The hiss and crackle of vinyl records, to be ignored or reduced as far as possible by the mid-20th century audiophile, became signifiers of historical authenticity in 1990s Trip Hop. The lens flare, light seepage and colour shift of cheap mass-produced chemical film-based cameras have been turned from annoyances to fetishes with Lomography and Instagram. And the glitches of poor video connections or corrupted floppy disks have followed a similar path in Glitch art. This is a process of ironisation. Irony changes or inverts content without altering form. Meaning is introduced into systems by ironising non-signifying forms. It is modified and modulated by further ironising those forms. The glitches that once frustrated media professionals and home users of electronic meadia are ironised into aesthetic form in Glitch Art. Glitch Art sits in the historical tradition of process art and chance art. Automatism and chance acts in Dada, Surrealism, Situationism and the Oulipo. Scatter art. Generative and algorithmic art. And action painting, which provides the useful concept of "all-over composition" as a way of avoiding a requirement of specific, localisable intent in aesthetically evaluating an image. Glitch art also sits in the historical traditions of remix art,detournement and d?collage. The knowledge that the image has been altered is key to its aesthetic reception. It's tempting to talk about the creative destruction of capitalism and to damn Glitch as neoliberal apologia, but that's too easy and would leave the speaker too comfortable. It is also very tempting to try and place Glitch Art within the traditions of anti-aesthetics or of nominalistic/found art, or to compare the use of image corruption to artistic outsourcing or crowdsourcing in terms of artistic abrogation of authorship. But Glitch is at least curated by the artist, and its generation requires an engagement with the specificity of digital media that they are not supposed to have. The Glitch artist is artisan, not manager, and Glitch art is sublime, not trial. Panofsky's extension of the idea of symbolic form to perspective can be applied to Glitch as form. Glitch is effect (a body of effects) that generates *critical* form. The patterns of noise or confounding signals that result from analog or digital image corruption and the effects on displaced sections of the corrupted image are form, presented for positive aesthetic evaluation rather than removed to avoid negative technical evaluation. This complicates Shannon's diagram of information transmission. The smooth running of inhuman systems is disqueting. Glitch reasserts their physicality. To the extent that it did so to generalise specific failings to a general system in order to make them appear fallible and human this would be kitsch. To the extent that it did so to remind us of older technology, it would be Cory Arcangel-style leveraged nostalgia. And to the extent that it generationally positioned itself against the previous generation's perception of value in its own culture it would be adolescent social positioning. Glitch art avoids these failings by producing tension and contradiction rather than jouissance and confirmation. It is disquieting in a way that disturbs the new without allowing a return to an idealised earlier social and aesthetic order, and it is aesthetically creative in a way that does not hide the destruction involved. The 8 and 16-bit console software beloved of some Glitch artists is comprehensible to them and to their audiences in a way that 64-bit cloud-based network software is not. The former is therefore a useful artistic proxy for the latter. Defamiliarising the one familiarises the other, and provides a way in to critique its unseen operation through visible means. Art makes invisible order tractable by making it visible. Glitch aesthetics are all-over irruptions of the hidden technological order that reveal its operation through its failure. They assert not a reactionary nostalgia but a potential challenge to closure. Engaging with Glitch aesthetics allow us to exercise and develop our regard in a way that increases our fit to the smooth operation and to the catastrophes and contradictions of our post-digital environment. From bbrace at eskimo.com Sat May 4 21:11:02 2013 From: bbrace at eskimo.com ({ brad brace }) Date: Sat, 4 May 2013 12:11:02 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] charles loring brace Message-ID: The Children's Aid Society was founded in 1853 by Charles Loring Brace and a group of social reformers at a time when orphan asylums and almshouses were the only "social services" available for poor and homeless children. Brace's theory of an organization devoted to helping poor children was radical. His progressive ideas translated into far-reaching services and reforms for poor and homeless children, working women, needy families and disabled boys and girls at a time when services for these groups were few and far between. Educated to be a minister, Brace was determined to give children an alternative to life in the squalid slums and teeming New York City streets. His theories were grounded in the conviction that institutional care stunted and destroyed children. According to Brace, the answers to transforming New York's orphans and street children into self-reliant members of society were gainful work, education, and a wholesome family atmosphere. Charles Loring Brace's work transformed the face of social services and social reforms in New York City and across the nation. His imprint?his legacy?has benefited millions and millions of children. Of course, much has changed since his time, including the concepts of children's rights and parental responsibility, but Brace's imprint remains an enduring one. The Orphan Train Movement Between 1853 and 1929, more than 150,000 abandoned, abused and orphaned children were rescued from the streets and slums of New York City and taken by train to start new lives with families on farms across the country. The emphasis was on giving these needy children a family life. The Victor Remer Historical Archives of The Children's Aid Society Important historical records can be accessed via?The Guide to the Records of The Children's Aid Society (1853-1947). This guide contains materials pertaining to emigration programs such as the Orphan Train, foster care and adoption programs operating between 1853-1947, annual reports to 2006, a small collection of materials from 1948-1951, and The Children's Aid Society lodging houses, industrial schools, convalescent homes, health centers and farm schools. http://www.childrensaidsociety.org/ http://bbrace.net/bracelli.html http://bradbrace.net/bracelli.html /:b From manik at sbb.rs Sat May 4 22:28:41 2013 From: manik at sbb.rs (manik) Date: Sat, 4 May 2013 22:28:41 +0200 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Glitch As Symbolic Form References: <5185532F.9070701@robmyers.org> Message-ID: <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> Text we could read here is one more example of Rob's extraordinary gift to wrote clear and deep at the same time. One who never herd for *glitch art* after that text could say than he know what's that all about :) That text, also, inspire us to think about our position in 'never-ending-now' which most people call time. Isn't it our / almost / duty to find our personal and intimate GLITCH (?) because assuredness that war and violence must be and stay only and irreplaceable way to keep world in 'living amplitude' mean keep up with attitude that ''mistake'' as aesthetic category must be or ''cultivate fake ignorance'' ( we are witnesses of new fashion who insist on ''childish'' painting and false naivety ), or it's '' no doubt '' corporativ art who serve only to make things bigger and more expensive, to make *spectacular* things! Instead of church, now corporativ ideology and their institutions take care about Anish sculpture, Koons work, Marina performance and Hirst butterfly ... This is sort of mega mental glitch without chance to became human art again and we 'mortal' people have nothing to do with that, even without irony - it's divine intrigue. So what's glitch art ? Its our right to find dark corner in our brain and see what's there without fear of consequences. Temptation's are horrible. Put on side of main-stream, without influence, money and always in mistrust we must exept our glitch not as ''I don't fucking care'' excuse to make stupid things, we should acccept our glitch as safe point in dark, point we could put our leg to make next step. Most of other calculation's are, actualy indulgence to post - neo - liberal butcher store and ideology who became day by day, more and more base for totalitarian society. ...MANIK ...

There was a group 'tch tch tch' (the real name was written by arrows) in Australia in the 80s with similar music and surfaces. On the political, does any of it matter - capital will continue to enclave and increase, everything compresses as a result. The videos tend to focus on the 1%, not the slaughter and extinctions of humans plants and animals that come in their wake. Part of the real violence against us is produced by our insistence at the burial of the cost of these surfaces, an insistence that's comfortable and deeply passive. It's "hard" to look at something dying, although there was a flurry of fetishization of beheading videos on Facebook recently. How cool. The only non-saving grace of all of this, is that it will rust like everything else, as climate change increases its exponential onslaught. Good luck to our always already dying progeny.

You are right about the *divinity* of market art. To quote Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine "...divinity is the state of things that come from a supernatural power or deity, such as a god, or spirit beings, and are therefore regarded as sacred and holy. Such things are regarded as "divine" due to their transcendental origins, and/or because their attributes or qualities are superior or supreme relative to things of the Earth. Divine things are regarded as eternal and based in truth, while material things are regarded as ephemeral and based in illusion." The Market has replaced God and History as the supernatural agency in this world. > So what's glitch art ? > Its our right to find dark corner in our brain and see what's there without > fear of consequences.

They were put together by Phillip Brophy, from Melbourne, and he's still active doing stuff. They were sort of an artier version of Talking Heads, doing PoMo pop quite early on. They were mainly active in the late 70's. I saw them live a couple of times, usually at exhibition openings and performance art events. A number of other Australian artists and musicians were involved, like Maria Kozic (better known as a visual artist) and David Chesworth. Although they probably enjoyed their greatest commercial success in the early 1980's, particularly overseas, the scene they were part of (and the group) had lost its vitality by then. They were really an early post-punk phenomena and should be considered alongside groups such as Severed Heads (who are sort of reforming for ISEA next month, with Tom Ellard and Steve Jones back together - something to look forward to). best Simon On 6 May 2013, at 22:11, Simon Mclennan wrote: > I tend to agree with this. > > Simon > On 6 May 2013, at 16:54, Alan Sondheim wrote: > >> >> >> I hadn't heard of these either, seem more an extension of the pith >> and omniscience of Baudrillard and Zizek as well as the surface >> fetishiza- tion of hiphop videos but what do I know.

The exhibition explores a new direction in contemporary design through twenty-five projects---presented through artifacts, objects, and films. In the place of standardized, industrialized perfection, the exhibition embraces imperfection as evidence of an emerging force of identity, individuality, and nonlinearity in design. As design welcomes the new technologies of the information age, the field itself is being reshaped. Some have built their practice around the collaborative ideology of the open source movement; others explore the opportunities opened up by new low-cost fabrication technologies. Some are exploring new economic models of production; others are challenging the established hierarchies between designers and end-users. 05/04/13 - 07/07/13 http://www.newmuseum.org/exhibitions/view/adhocracy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

April 24th 2013 Summary Part of the Then and Now Series of Talks Event Summary- by Eva Pascoe, Alexandra Reynolds & Niki Gomez On an unusually hot and steamy April day our regular hangout Arts Catalyst (Clerkenwell, London) felt rather cool and breezy with the beers being nicely chilled in the giant kegs (Cyberpolitics is a thirsty business). Last preparations done, projector on, pizzas in the oven for the hungry Clerkenwellians and we were ready to kick-off our session on Net Politics Then and Now. To be frank, we were not sure what to expect as the original Netpolitics event was planned months before the funeral of Mrs Thatcher when all appeared very theoretical and safe. However, with the ashes barely cooling on the effigy burial in Goldthorpe, the political temperature in town seemed to have reached new proportions. But brave souls we are, after much debate we decided to face it head on and proceed. Our invitees were from very diverse backgrounds and we were quietly preparing for the evening to turn into a rally or a fist-fight (which depends on your definition of the successful political event). http://www.cybersalon.org/pictures-from-net-politics-cybersalon/ From netbehaviour at furtherfield.org Tue May 7 10:49:39 2013 From: netbehaviour at furtherfield.org (netbehaviour) Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 09:49:39 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] =?windows-1252?q?Waag=92s_=93Do_it_Together_Bio=94?= =?windows-1252?q?_series=2C_C-LAB?= In-Reply-To: <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> References: <5185532F.9070701@robmyers.org> <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> Message-ID: <5188C023.4080307@furtherfield.org> Waag?s ?Do it Together Bio? series, C-LAB By Laura Cinti - 06 May 2013 As part of Waag?s ?Do it Together Bio? series, C-LAB was invited to hold a workshop related to our work using synthetic biology. The workshop was held at De Waag, one of the oldest building in Amsterdam and where Rembrandt famously painted The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632). enetic modification (GM) is an almost inherent feature of synthetic biology practices and an immediate challenge for the workshop since the premises did not hold a GM permit. Thus, our workshop was aimed at highlighting these issues also given that our current work Living Mirror is facing precisely these challenges of publicly exhibiting genetically engineering bacteria as part of our artistic display in the Netherlands. Only recently were we able to host UK?s first living synthetic biology exhibition and substantial effort was put in place to enable this possiblity and allowing a public audience to experience such organisms - many for the first time. How then, is the ongoing developments in DIY communities across Europe expected to partake in the exciting opportunities afforded by synthetic biology? Can we foresee a possibility of public participants at the Waag doing genetic manipulation and when? And what are the regulatory challenges we face when making these 'living' technologies public? more? http://c-lab.co.uk/events/do-it-together-bio-%235-synthetic-biology-art.html From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Tue May 7 10:55:26 2013 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc garrett) Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 09:55:26 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Julian Assange: The Internet threatens civilization. In-Reply-To: <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> References: <5185532F.9070701@robmyers.org> <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> Message-ID: <5188C17E.6020309@furtherfield.org> Julian Assange: The Internet threatens civilization. However disappointing, the Wikileaks founder's new book offers a fascinating -- and discomfiting -- thesis. By Adam Morris. WIKILEAKS FOUNDER JULIAN ASSANGE?S newest book Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet is intended as an urgent warning, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Despite boasting publicity blurbs from a curious medley of public intellectuals ? Slavoj ?i?ek, Naomi Wolf, and Oliver Stone among them ? Cypherpunks may just as well have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Although Assange is one of the most vital and polemical activists alive, nobody?s talking about Cypherpunks, and nobody seems to have read it. This is a pity, since the book rings a justifiably strident alarm bell over the erosion of individual privacy rights by an increasingly powerful global surveillance industry. Though Cypherpunks raises issues of pressing concern, its neglect is not all that mysterious. ?This book is not a manifesto,? Assange begins. If only it were! The pretense of writing one ? especially when widely rumored to be wanted by the US government and an international cause c?l?bre ? would probably have garnered Assange more attention. A good old-fashioned manifesto would have been more readable, too: Cypherpunks is irritatingly structured as a discussion between Assange and three coauthors, the digital activists Jacob Appelbaum, Andy M?ller-Maguhn, and J?r?mie Zimmermann. The intention may have been to emphasize the sort of ?messy? participatory democracy favored by Occupy, Anonymous, and other emergent political forces loosely affiliated with WikiLeaks and influenced by anarchist political theory. But the ?discussion? occasionally slides into pedantic softball-lobs, ego-stroking, and phony-sounding debate that will leave the reader wishing for a more tightly edited and coherent declaration of the trouble Assange thinks we?re in. more? http://www.salon.com/2013/04/30/tk_5_partner_15/ From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Tue May 7 11:01:41 2013 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc garrett) Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 10:01:41 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Tax Evaders In-Reply-To: <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> References: <5185532F.9070701@robmyers.org> <563848155E0F46B3B4AA7B3D63E9DA08@user> Message-ID: <5188C2F5.4030704@furtherfield.org> Tax Evaders Blast the Tax Evaders online NOW - then blast 'em in real life too.

Medical Museion June 4th 2013 Copenhagen, Denmark 6:30 ? 9 pm Dissection reveals what lies beneath the skin, but for a brief moment in time, and for a priviledged few. Depictions, models, and preservations have long been used to share what dissection uncovers; from ancient anatomical drawings to today?s virtual 3D anatomies. In the 18th Century skinned ??corch?? figures and anatomical waxes were constructed to reveal systems of interlocking bones, balanced pairs of muscles, and delicately entangled traceries of nerves and blood vessels. The Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt, and the ?corch? The Horse Rider by Honor? Fragonard are famous examples at the border between medicine, science and art. Contemporary medical sciences reveal ever more about the complex systems of the human body ? but at a barely perceptible level. The (medical) human body today is understood, tested, and treated as a huge system of data, including complex interactions between our genetic material, our environment, and our host of microbial companions. How do we grab hold of this data? How do we make sense of it and communicate it to others? How do contemporary artists and designers give our ?data body? material form through images, sound, and touch? What kind of tools are complex networks science proposing, and what kind of body do they reveal? The Data Body on the Dissection Table brings together scientists, artists, philosophers, and designers to explore these questions, through roundtable presentations and audience discussion. The event takes place in Medical Museion?s auditorium - the Danish Royal Academy of Surgeons? former anatomical theater. Speakers include Albert-L?szl? Barab?si (TBC), Distinguished Professor and Director of Northeastern University Center for Complex Network Research, Boston; Fran?ois-Joseph Lapointe, Professor at the Biological Sciences Department, University of Montreal and Artist; Annamaria Carusi, Associate Professor in Philosophy of Medical Science and Technology at the University of Copenhagen and Jamie Allen, Artist and Head of Research at CIID/Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. The event is co-organised by Leonardo/Olats and Medical Museion under the EU Studiolab framework, and in conjunction with the Leonardo Day "Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks" satellite event for NetSci 2103. Attendance is free within the seat limits, refreshments provided.

Join us for our Micro-noise workshop and build you own NAND Schmitt Trigger Oscillator! The NAND gate is a logical circuit and plays a very important role in all digital technologies. Its purpose is to compare ones and zeros and a resulting output. The abuse of the NAND gate by a feeding back and oscillating R-C circuit makes the Schmitt Trigger to oscillate at an audible frequency. A sound is generated! Date/time: Saturday 11th MAy 2013, 2 pm to 5 pm Location: Unit 30. Cremer Business Centre, 37 Cremer Street. London E2 8HD Materials/fee: Materials and components provided, fee ?17. Take home your micro-noise kit! Please register via: workshops at musichackspace.org Beginners are welcome! The workshop will be lead by swiss artist Anina Hug. Anina Hug focuses on making music with found objects and digitally processing the sounds in real-time. As an active member of the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society she teaches workshops in analog circuitry and microcontroller-based applications for sound production and control. She builds handmade electronic circuit instruments and develops interfaces that control software in a unique way. In her live-performances she explores the relationship between abstract electronic tones and concrete object sounds, generating a mix of the quite familiar and the completely alien. The Swiss Mechatronic Art Society is a collective of engineers, hackers, scientists and artists that collaborate on creative uses of technology. www.aninahug.ch www.mechatronicart.ch http://musichackspace.org/micro-noise-workshop-saturday-11th-of-may-2013/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thank you! I'm very suspicious of MOOCs, and having tried a couple of courses they really don't fill a gap for me personally. Redistribution of (educational) wealth is good, proletarianization and marketization of education less so. - Rob.

Agitarch Structures: Reconfiguring Utopia - on Data is Nature. In the mid 1980?s architect Yuri Avvakumov produced a series of sculptural works commemorating Soviet Constructivist art and architecture of the 1920?s. The works mainly comprise of delicate wire-frame structures or ?architectons?, with platforms, which pay homage to artist/architects such as El Lissitzky, Tatlin and Melnikov. The sculptures celebrate the worker, the sportsman as well as the ?agitprop? speaker within the construct of the socialist utopia. As architectural propositions they address both the sublime and the surreal simultaneously. For example, Flying Proletarian is devised as a swing for open-air exercises where two teams of competitors, each with a seat equipped with a lever propelling a pair of wings, complete for elevation. more? http://www.dataisnature.com/?p=1771 From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Wed May 8 18:50:04 2013 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc garrett) Date: Wed, 08 May 2013 17:50:04 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] The Civil Liberties Minute In-Reply-To: <518A75C4.3000908@furtherfield.org> References: <16698ab6bb65f3ab5d4d9d5f827033b8@pobox.com> <518A5382.9040900@furtherfield.org> <518A75C4.3000908@furtherfield.org> Message-ID: <518A823C.2020206@furtherfield.org> The Civil Liberties Minute Taking on injustices, 90 seconds at a time!

A paper sign, peeling from the wall, warns in German that open flames and smoking are dangerous and strictly forbidden. In walks Tom Waits, smoking a cigarette. ?This reminds me of a place I used to work in National City, California, called Spotco Self Service,? Waits says, leaning up against a pump. ?I worked for a gentleman named Charles Spotco. I was always late for work. I used to stay out at night. I?d come dragging to work, used to get there about ten-thirty in the morning. He?d chew me out and scream at me for being late. He always said I?d never amount to nothing. I never thought I?d be standing in a gas station in Vienna Austria. If I?d of told him that one day, Spotco, I?ll be leaning on a gas pump at a gas station in Vienna Austria, he would have said you gotta be out of your mind.? The scene is from Tom Waits: A Day in Vienna, a half-hour television film shot on April 19, 1979, and shown above in its entirety. Filmmakers Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher approached Waits when he arrived in Vienna on a short European tour, according to Barney Hoskyns in Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits. ? He came in from Amsterdam saying he hadn?t slept all night, but he agreed on the spot to let us film him,? Rossacher told Hoskyns. ?He didn?t want to do a proper interview but instead he wanted to tell stories.? more? http://www.openculture.com/2013/05/tom_waits_a_day_in_vienna.html From mark at memecortex.net Wed May 8 21:22:06 2013 From: mark at memecortex.net (Mark Hancock) Date: Wed, 8 May 2013 20:22:06 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] self portrait of michael by michael & ruth In-Reply-To: <1367673109.43123.YahooMailNeo@web122602.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> References: <1367673109.43123.YahooMailNeo@web122602.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Message-ID: I love it.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <518B5E96.5010007@furtherfield.org> Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Download it on PDF The bestselling author of No Logo shows how the global free market has exploited crises and shock for three decades, from Chile to IraqIn her groundbreaking reporting over the past few years, Naomi Klein introduced the term disaster capitalism. Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic shock treatment, losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers.The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman s free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement s peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq.At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years. http://ebookcollective.blogspot.it/2013/05/naomi-klein-shock-doctrine-rise-of.html From sarah.e.cook at sunderland.ac.uk Thu May 9 10:55:36 2013 From: sarah.e.cook at sunderland.ac.uk (Sarah Cook) Date: Thu, 9 May 2013 08:55:36 +0000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Fwd: Surreptitious Networks, professional development workshop, Monday 20th May 2013 References: Message-ID: <26C8D039-921C-4098-A625-84B7D66E6D82@sunderland.ac.uk> hello apologies for cross posting, but here is notice of a workshop in just over ten days time in Newcastle organised by CRUMB -- we have to keep a tight count on numbers so please do reply offlist to myself or Isabella if you think you can come. best wishes Sarah Begin forwarded message: From: Isabella Streffen > I'm delighted to be able to forward the following invitation to a professional development day on 20th May 2013. Please feel free to circulate it to anyone you think it may be of interest to. The day is free, but participants must register. There are also three bursaries available for critical writing, all links and details below. SURREPTITIOUS NETWORKS CRUMB Professional Development Workshop in collaboration with Pixel Palace WHEN: Monday, 20 May 2013, 11am - 6pm WHERE: Tyneside Cinema, Figgis Room, 10 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6QG http://tynesidecinema.co.uk This workshop is set within the activities of the research unit CRUMB at the University of Sunderland, which has investigated the curating of new media art since 2000 through research, exhibition projects, publishing, networking and professional development for curators. This artist-led workshop, developed by CRUMB post-doctoral research associate Isabella Streffen and co-chaired by Dr. Sarah Cook of CRUMB, will focus on the ?surreptitious networks? operating within artistic practices. The aim is to reveal how artists expose, work with, critique and create inadvertent or hidden networks in the development of their practices. The workshop will share knowledge from the practices, strategies and critical perspectives of four artists/artist groups working with digital and non- digital networks: * ? Graham Harwood (YoHa, Mediashed, Mongrel, convenor of MA in Interactive Methods at the Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London and PhD candidate at CRUMB) * ? Lise Autogena (Reader in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University) * ? Joanna Griffin (doctoral candidate, Transtechnology Research group, University of Plymouth) * ? Isabella Streffen (Post-doctoral research associate at CRUMB) Discussions will touch upon methods and meanings of network creation, both deliberate and accidental, and the relationship between the human and the non-human. The presentations in the morning will be broadcast by basicfm, while the afternoon workshops will offer a chance for participants to engage more closely with each of the artists to discuss strategies. There are three CVAN-supported critical writing bursaries on offer for emerging artists and writers to reflect on networks, the workshop, or the practices shared by the participating artists with their resulting articles to be co-published by a-n and CRUMB. All documentation from the event will be co-published by CRUMB and a-n. You can find the call for artists/writers from CVAN here: CVAN Writing Bursaries Questions that are likely to arise: What other types of networks emerge as the by-products of digitally networked practices? How can the exploration of networks most usefully seed other networks? What strategies do artists use to navigate and manage networks in their practice? How do the ?echo networks? of digitally networked practices differ from those of non-digital practices? Speakers/workshop leaders details: Graham Harwood has lived and worked with Matsuko Yokokoji since 1994 (working under the name YoHa, English translation ?aftermath?). YoHa?s graphic vision and technical tinkering has powered several celebrated collaborations, establishing an international reputation for pioneering arts projects, including the first online commission from the Tate Gallery London, and work for the permanent collections of the Pompidou Centre, ZKM, and Manifesta07. Harwood and Yokokoji co-founded the artists group Mongrel (1996-2007), and established the MediaShed free media lab in 2005. In 2009, they joined Richard Wright to produce Tantalum Memorial (which went on to win first-prize at transmediale). YoHa produced Coal Fired Computers at AV Festival in 2010, and Invisible Airs in 2011. Graham Harwood is convenor of the MA Interactive Media at the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths. Lise Autogena and Joshua Portway have worked together for over twenty years on ambitious multimedia installations and data visualization projects that explore our relations to the networks, economies, geographies and technologies that surround us, and how our human experience is changed by incorporation into these systems. Their work is exhibited internationally, and they are best known for projects that include The Sound Mirrors Project, Black Shoals Stock Market Planetarium (seen at Tate Britain) and Most Blue Skies. They are currently working on Foghorn Requiem, which will be performed at Souter Lighthouse on June 22, 2013. Lise Autogena is Reader in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University. Joanna Griffin is an artist researcher who is interested in the experiential dimension of space technologies. She works on socially engaged projects using art practice to understand how space-faring enterprises merge with everyday life. She has been the recipient of the International Arts Council Fellowship at NASA Space Science Lab at UC Berkeley; has worked on commissions for The Arts Catalyst in the UK; and was instrumental in creating a major astronomy festival Kalpaneya Yatre: Journey of Imaginations, In Bangalore, India. She is a contributor to the artist/hacker collective Orbitando Sat?lites and mentored the Moon Vehicle project, an artist-led response to the launch of the Chandrayaan-1 mission to the moon. She has published in Leonardo and Cultural Politics journals, and is currently finishing her doctorate with the Transtechnology Research Group at Plymouth University. Isabella Streffen is an artist working with military technologies and contested sites in fine art practice.

Starting with the first freq_out event in 2003 and now having reached the 8th version at Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the 9th at Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, freq_out engages 12 participating artists in a museum environment. Each artist is assigned to a particular range of frequency, and all the resulting compositions are joined and mixed together in the space by von Hausswolff to create a specific soundscape THE VIOLIN, THE RIVER, AND ME: ARTISTIC RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL EPISTEMOLOGY IN BALANCING STRING AND DEVIL'S WATER 1, TWO RECENT ENVIRONMENTAL SOUND PROJECTS by BENNETT HOGG Soundscape composition and acoustic ecology, despite significantly contributing to contemporary culture, often remain organised by the codes of concert listening. This instantiates distance, inherent to the aesthetic, but antithetical to ecosystemic and/or auditory perception. The paper reflects upon improvisation with the natural environment, moving towards an alternative, participative, and personal environmental sound practice. PERSPECTIVE, TEXTURE, DENSITY AND MOTION: AESTHETICS AND THE ART OF AUDIO FIELD RECORDING by STEVEN M. MILLER "The four primary qualities or characteristics I listen for in making engaging field recordings are: perspective, texture, density, and motion." Sound artist Steven M. Miller discusses and elaborates on four essential elements in the aesthetics of audio field recording/phonography, whose qualitative aspects reward focused, intensive listening. CREATIVITY IN ALGORITHMIC MUSIC by EVAN X. MERZ The issue of creativity in algorithmic music is reviewed in this essay, which focuses on three perspectives offered by three groups of composers. It investigates how their works relate to the model of creativity proposed by Margaret Boden and further examines the ways in which these composers' attitudes toward creativity are embodied in their algorithms. THE PARAMETRIC COURANTE by GUANG ZHU This article describes Guang Zhu's exploratory research and experiments conducted on the cardioid equation, in order to inspire the creative use and interdisciplinary assessment of parametric functions. It also attempts to articulate the first stage of integrating media art, mathematical visualization, and the history of geometry in her project. DONKEY BRIDGES: ON THE CREATIVE AND TECHNICAL PROCESS BEHIND "ESELSBR?CKE" by CRISTIAN VOGEL Eselsbr?cke is a collection of 10 pieces of computer music, composed and recorded in Berlin over a period of 6 months. This essay about the compositional process aims to document some of the technical and creative challenges which shaped the music. The story touches on the responsibility inherent in decision making, on the complications of additive dimensions and the interfacing between non-sonic forms and musical significance. DOT, A VIDEOGAME WITH NO WINNER by HENRIQUE ROSCOE Dot, a videogame with no winner is an audiovisual performance with synchronized sounds and images, played by a 'game console' built and programmed by HOL. In this article, its complete process of creation for the performance is discussed, showing the artistic concept, aesthetics and generative techniques used by the artist. TRAPPED TO REVEAL - ON WEBCAM MEDIATED COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION by ANNIE ABRAHAMS By the use of video, performance as well as the Internet, Abrahams questions the possibilities and the limits of communication and investigates its modes under networked conditions. In this essay, she explains her thoughts behind her webcam performance practice, which, "[b]esides being a tool to experiment with machine mediated collaboration and communication, ?also reveal[s] ordinary, vulnerable and messy aspect of human communication." THE IMAGINARY SCREAM by ROBERT WILLIM "I dreamt about a work I will never make." An experimental essay by Robert Willim which raises questions about conceptuality and tangibility in art. ---------------- Hz is published by Fylkingen in Stockholm. Established in 1933, Fylkingen has through the years made major contributions to introducing yet-to-be-established art forms in Sweden.

By definition, algorithms are a set of rules used for solving a set of problems. Yet, if we consider the social aspects regarding how algorithms are used to assess our behaviours, things get awkward and a bit hazy. Studying the use of algorithms according to millions of users on the Web, has become a kind of dark art. I found this paragraph from the article interesting --- "The driverless car, in short, is a data detective?s dream, a device that can discern when you get a new job, how many one-night stands you have, how often you go to the dentist. As demarcation lines between the real world and the virtual world continue to blur, autonomous cars will function not so much as browsers but links, the way we get from one appointment or transaction opportunity to the next. In theory, Google will determine the route to your desired destination based on distance, available infrastructure, and current traffic conditions. But what if Google, which already filters cyberspace for you, begins choosing routes as a way of putting you in proximity to ?relevant content??" I'm wondering what yourself and others think about this, whether anyone is sceptical about how algorithms are being used or if anyone has a more positive stance on matter? chat soon. marc From dudavalle at hotmail.com Fri May 10 19:03:52 2013 From: dudavalle at hotmail.com (Eduardo Valle) Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 17:03:52 +0000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Links In-Reply-To: <518D1E3C.4010105@furtherfield.org> References: <3735af3505ffac288de3f7bfa50710f6@pobox.com>, <518D1E3C.4010105@furtherfield.org> Message-ID: http://www.hatjecantz.de/controller.php?cmd=detail&titzif=00002025 > Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 17:20:12 +0100 > From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org > To: netbehaviour at netbehaviour.org > Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] Links > > Hi Rob, > > Thanks for your recent list to the ahem, list ;-) > > I was reading this article -- Will self-piloting vehicles rob us of the > last of our privacy and autonomy? > http://reason.com/archives/2013/05/10/googles-driverless-future > > I have been reading much about algorithms lately.

I got the funding, which is lovely, and am contracting a Jacquard weaver to make the thing. However, the AR part has been crazy. I decided at first to go with MaxReality with a pair of Vuzix AR goggles that has buggy drivers and is just bloody heavy to wear. Also imagine the fact that you have to have a dedicated desktop with the 2m tethered goggles and 3DS Max on it as the engine. Compare this with the idea of using iPads with layar or Aurasma that people can rove over the tapestry and examine the textile like windows; all simultaneously, no tethers. Much better, don't you think? I'm planning to make 3 of these huge things by September, and I think the idea is beautiful. But the goggles and dedicated hunk of iron seem like a red herring, don't you think? Anyone provisionally interested in seeing these things?

Advertising is a way of alleviating inefficiencies in the market (or in product development....), where markets are a means for efficiently allocating resources. Google turn advertising into a pretty pure market through a pretty clever algorithm - http://www.wired.com/special_multimedia/2009/nep_googlenomics_auction http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/17-06/nep_googlenomics?currentPage=all Driving around aimlessly or trying to plan your route yourself is just so inefficient, so the idea that the car might be the means of delivering you to advertisers isn't so outlandish. Next is the car app that drives you to meet your date. And the one that drives you to the opening or the gig that you never knew you wanted to go to. How will cars be used for pr0n? ;-) The web browser is Virilio's "static vehicle", and a browserised car is a good example of his mediatised, disempowered individual under the speed of technology. We'll ignore peak oil in this scenario. ;-) There was a very good talk at the Free Software Foundation conference in 2012 about cars, see "Why Cars need Free Software" here - http://she-devel.com/ > I'm wondering what yourself and others think about this, whether anyone > is sceptical about how algorithms are being used or if anyone has a more > positive stance on matter? This conversation taking place thanks to the algorithms that render text on our screens, that handle input and allocate resources to competing processes on our computers, and that route messages across the Internet. :-) It pains the technological determinist in me ( ;-) ) to say this but algorithms are just tools, or possibly a medium, and so they are tools (or a medium) for social struggle. High frequency trading is a means of extracting wealth from society that happens to have the form of algorithms, for example: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/08/market-data-firm-spots-the-tracks-of-bizarre-robot-traders/60829/ Voting and tagging bots on reddit are a means of promoting and critiquing political agendas: http://civic.mit.edu/blog/petey/the-fault-dear-reddit-is-not-in-our-bots-but-in-ourselves-the-case-of-libertybot And the digital humanities are discovering interesting new things about culture: http://www.neh.gov/humanities/2011/marchapril/feature/graphing-culture We can certainly gain by understanding and engaging with algorithms *but* it will take economic and social resources to do so. MANIK's emphasis on techne may be of use here.

There is space for about 12 people. I strongly encourage people not traditionally involved in academia to also apply to form mixed groups of hackademics. Topics include, but are not exclusively - Evolutionary computation and evolutionary robotics - Artificial creativity and curiosity - Artificial Life The idea is that we will work in 3 groups of 4, building real physical systems, analysing them, with each group writing a scientific paper describing the results, taking turns to do unconventional cooking, going on walks, etc? Theoretical projects are also equally encouraged of-course. Right now I invite people to submit project proposals that include the following information. Please send the following proposals to me by 1st June. email: Dr Chrisantha Fernando *Name: * *Affiliation/Organization:* *Contact Details: * *Proposed project addressing open question in bio-inspired computing: * *Equipment required with costing( < ?1000 total): * *Suggested group members and locations: * Once I have a set of proposals, if there are more than we can accommodate, I will choose the most exciting, realistic and achievable projects.

The workshop will examine what happens when we return to the sounds of classic subtractive and FM synthesis but subsitute the common MIDI interface (which is structured around traditional Western notions of music) for an alternative system. While there will still be control over the basic parameters of synthesis, this new approach will change the way we create and structure the music and lead us towards new aesthetic outcomes. The workshop will combine the use of the open source software Pure Data with new software created specifically for this workshop. Concepts: - Techniques for generative composition and sound synthesis - New interfaces to structuring sound in reaction to traditional Western musical notions - Evaluation and discussion of the interactions between the artist, the technology used and musical aesthetics Level: Beginners. Although some familiarity with sound synthesis is welcome, no previous programming experience or knowledge of PureData is required. Tutor: Theo Burt [ http://theoburt.com ] Theo Burt (b.1979, Falmouth, UK) works with computer sound, video and light, drawing on the perceptual relationships between sound and image and exploring the aesthetic application of technology.

Coming from different parts of the world and expressing themselves in divers ways, what they have in common is a dedication to the concepts Time, Space and Existence. The exhibition is curated by Francesca Crudo, Sarah Gold, Carol Rolla and Valeria Romagnini. PERSONAL STRUCTURES is held at Venice's prestigious Palazzo Bembo, which overlooks the Grand Canal and is located near the Rialto Bridge. Each artist presents recent artworks, either site-specific, especially made for this exhibition, or coming directly from the artist's studio. Some rooms at Palazzo Bembo will be entirely dedicated to the presentation of single artists, while others will host a combination of projects and works. Their strong statements give each of the rooms a very specific atmosphere. The exhibition features a broad variety of artistic media, such as: videos, sculptures, paintings, photos, installations with light and performance. Since the participating artists originate from diverse cultures and are of very different age, Time, Space and Existence are highlighted from unusual points of view. PERSONAL STRUCTURES therefore stimulates a more conscious relation from the spectator towards his daily surrounding and aims to increase the awareness of their own personal Existence as human beings within a specific Space and Time. The following artists have been invited to be part of the exhibition: Chul Hyun Ahn (KOR), Yoshitaka Amano (JPN), Alice Anderson (GBR), Jan-Erik Andersson (FIN), Axel Anklam (DEU), Yifat Bezalel (ISR), Hans Bischoffshausen (AUT), Djawid Borower (DEU), Faiza Butt (PAK), Genia Chef (RUS), Chen Ping (CHN), Canal Cheong Jagerroos (FIN/MAC), Karlyn De Jongh (NLD), Scott Eady (NZL), Toshikatsu Endo (JPN), Carole Feuerman (USA), Cristiana Fioretti (ITA), Dale Frank (AUS), Chris Fraser (USA), Marc Fromm (DEU), Sally Gabori (AUS), Jakob Gasteiger (AUT), Darryn George (NZL), Selby Ginn (AUS), David Goldenberg (GBR), Gotthard Graubner (DEU), Kimberley Gundle (ZAF), Laura Gurton (USA), Patrick Hamilton (CHL), Anne Herzbluth (DEU), Per Hess (NOR), Hirofumi Isoya (JPN), Sam Jinks (AUS), Grzegorz Klatka (POL), Mehdi-Georges Lahlou (FRA), James Lavadour (USA), Helmut Lemke (DEU), Luce (LVA), Heinz Mack (DEU), Michele Manzini (ITA), Christopher Martin (USA), Herre Methorst (NLD), David Middlebrook (USA), Atelier Morales (CUB), Peter Simon M?hlh?u?er (DEU), Hermann Nitsch (AUT), Yoko Ono (JPN), Roman Opalka (FRA), Otto Piene (DEU), Triny Prada (FRA), Qin Chong (CHN), Stefanus Rademeyer (ZAF), Nicola Rae (GBR), Arnulf Rainer (AUT), Bogdan Rata (ROU), Thomas Riess (AUT), Rene Rietmeyer (NLD), Yhonnie Scarce (AUS), Wilhelm Scher?bl (AUT), Dmitry Shorin (RUS), Nitin Shroff (IND), The Icelandic Love Corporation (ISL), Monika Thiele (DEU), Michele Tombolini (ITA), Stefan Toth (CZE), Suh Jeong Min (KOR), VALIE EXPORT (AUT), Elena & Vitaliy Vasiliev (UKR), Ben Vautier (FRA), Raphael Vella (MLT), Andr? Wagner (DEU), Xing Xin (CHN), Plamen Yordanov (BGR), Zhang Yu (CHN). The exhibition PERSONAL STRUCTURES is part of an international art project, initiated in 2002 by the Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer, who noticed that in different parts of the world, there are artists who reflect on the themes of Time, Space and Existence, thereby expressing themselves in a very personal way. This observation led to the idea of bringing several of these artists together in publications, exhibitions and symposia. PERSONAL STRUCTURES is a Collateral Event of the 55th International Art Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, will take place from 1 June to 24 November 2013. The exhibition is organized by the Global Art Affairs Foundation. The 362 pages catalogue, as well as a new 432 pages main publication about the project, PERSONAL STRUCTURES (2013), which contains the thought of several of the exhibiting artists, will be available during the exhibition period. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information and images, please contact: Sarah Gold: +39 349 088 9763 | info at globalartaffairs.org www.globalartaffairs.org | www.personalstructures.org | www.venice-exhibitions.org | www.palazzobembo.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <51925E3B.7080201@furtherfield.org> A Life in AdWords, Algorithms & Data Exhaust. An interview with Erica Scourti. By Marc Garrett. http://www.furtherfield.org/features/interviews/life-adwords-algorithms-data-exhaust-interview-erica-scourti Millions are blissfully unaware of the technological forces at work behind the scenes when we use social network platforms, mobile phones and search engines. What lies behind the content of the systems we use everyday are algorithms, designed to mine and sort through all the influx of diverse data. The byproduct of this mass online activity is described by marketing companies as data exhaust and seen as a deluge of passively produced data. Felix Stalder and Konrad Becker, editors of Deep Search: The Politics of Search Beyond Google,[1] ask whether our autonomies are at risk as we constantly adapt and tailor our interactions to the demands of surveillance and manipulation through social sorting. We consciously and unconsciously collide with the algorithm as it affects every field of human endeavour. Deep Search illuminates the politics and power play that surround the development and use of search engines. But, what can we learn from other explorers and their own real-life adventures in a world where a battle of consciousness between human and machine is fought out daily? Artist Erica Scourti spent months of her life in this hazy twilight zone. I was intrigued to know more about her strange adventure and the chronicling of a life within the ad-triggering keywords of the ?free? Internet marketing economy. About Erica Scourti Erica Scourti?s work addresses the mediation of personal and collective experience through language and technology in the net-worked regime of contemporary culture. Using autobiographical source material, as well as found text collected from the internet displaced into social space, her work explores communication, and particularly the mediated intimacy engendered by a digital paradigm. The variable status and job of the artist is humorously fore-grounded in her work, assuming alternating between the role activist, ?always-on? freelancer, healer of social bonds and a self-obsessed documenter of quotidian experience. http://www.ericascourti.com/art_pages/biography.html [1] Deep Search.

Call for Projects Open Call for project proposals to be developed during a production workshop for the creation of video games related to public space and the city as an interface (July 1-7, 2013) in Medialab-Prado (Madrid, Spain). During seven days of intensive work, ideas will be tested and prototypes developed by working with partners and technical assistants. Deadline: May 31, 2013. More information and submissions: http://medialab-prado.es/article/convocatoria_interfaces_solidas Framework In recent years, the video game experience has outgrown TV screens, game consoles and laptops, becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The availability of mobile devices, tablets, sensors, geolocation services, augmented realities and media facades has allowed the development of new game ideas experimentally and as a prototype. At the forefront of these game forms, which take place in some cases without the screen as an interface, is the interaction with other users and with the environment. Moreover, commercial controllers like Wiimote or Kinect have popularized the idea of the game away from the traditional game controller, transforming the game into a complete physical experience. This workshop proposes to think about games in the public space as an opportunity to generate other uses of the city and connections among its citizens. Lines of Work The selection will consider ideas and projects that are already taking place and address one of the following elements: ? The use of urban furniture as an interface for the game ? Media Fa?ade ? Non-random Games ? Interaction with the space ? Place specific ? Networked City Methodology A maximum of 4 projects will be selected and developed collaboratively in this intensive workshop with the support of tutors, technical assistants and partners. Once projects are selected, there will be an open call for collaborators, who will be fairly selected by the organization and the project promoters. Open Call for collaborators.

For the artist, the pencil is the intermediary, the conduit between eye and coordinated vision. Over the years, I have amassed a collection of pencils that were either intrinsically intriguing or that suggested a specific purpose. I doubt that many of them would be especially prized by bonafide pencil-collectors; no, this display is pretty-much self-indulgent. I do however, appreciate the possibility of a story told on as well as by-means-of these implements, which is I suppose, what advertising-pencils are about. And, it will possibly come as no surprise (assuming that you've seen my otherwork), that I just liked the idea of these long thin scans of pencils linked to their itemization. Something could also be made of the dwindling availability of varieties of drawing implements over the years. http://bbrace.net/palace.html http://bradbrace.net/palace.html /:b From dave.miller.uk at gmail.com Wed May 15 15:12:08 2013 From: dave.miller.uk at gmail.com (dave miller) Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 14:12:08 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Can anyone recommend a food broadband supplier?

About the WAG: The ?WAG" is a mini 3-dimensional, single room gallery that fits into your pocket 'cause I've developed it for IPhone, IPod Touch and I Pad. Every month, directly on your mobile, The ?WAG? hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to the dynamic site-specific contest. So, the Widget Art Gallery works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and as a permanent collections museum because conserves all the past exhibitions inside an online archive. For IPhone and IPod touch, just copy this url http://www.chiarapassa.it/wag/mobile/ in Safari and choose: ?add to home? and the WAG's icon will be saved on your IPhone. Do the same for IPad but paste this other URL: http://www.chiarapassa.it/wagipad/mobile/, or download the widget version for Mac osx dashboard at: http://www.chiarapassa.it/publicart.html . Past exhibitions at: http://the-widget-art-gallery.blogspot.com/ To know more about the Widget Art Gallery, I suggest to read my latest interview on Rhizome http://rhizome.org/editorial/2012/oct/29/gallery-your-pocket/ About the exhibition: The Room within a View by Budhaditya Chattopadhyay ?The Room within a View? (2013) stems out of on-going project ?Doors of Nothingness? (2012-) as a virtual prototype for a series of sited installations. The project frames and (con)textualizes myriad of thoughts within the mindfulness of a nomadic listener, triggered by pervasive interaction with various immersive but evanescent auditory situations. Essentially experiential, subject-oriented and contemplative in its development, the project explores the itinerant sonic interactions occurring between the listener and constantly emerging environments as cognitive processes of hyper-listening and thinking, which arguably transcend the epistemological constrains of sound. http://budhaditya.org/ Enjoy the show!

The anonymous group was established in 2000 and since then has been creating performances, interactive and network installations. They have started their Antidatamining project in 2006, in which they use tools of data mining for depicting social and economical processes. They document and process phenomena which raise questions closely tied to globalisation and automation, like Flash Crash, according to what the stock exchange collapsed on the 6th May in 2010. Their last solo exhibition was held in Paris, in Ga?t? Lyrique in 2010 and they were residents and exhibitors of Zentrum f?r Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe. They have previously displayed their works in Linz, Berlin, San Francisco, Madrid, Montreal, Yogyakarta or Aberdeen at festivals and exhibitions which focus on new media art practices. Their exhibition in Traf? Gallery shows through three installations the curiosities of algorithm based trading and they give an overview on the history of the automatisation of the stock exchange, from the now out of date technologies to mechanisms which enable high frequency trading. 6pm Friday, 17 May 2013: Artist Talk and Guided Tour with the exhibitors http://www.trafo.hu/en-US/the_algorithmic_trading_freak_show From rob at robmyers.org Thu May 16 14:06:15 2013 From: rob at robmyers.org (Rob Myers) Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 13:06:15 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Links Message-ID: <5516f664c58cf4e79d3cc6414d9c4175@pobox.com> "We've made a change to the Google Chat and Google Talk chat history settings.

It was simply, a year's documentation of the firing of the noon-day gun in Halifax. I was much more concerned with the development of a ritual process of being in position to film this moment day-after-day for one-year, than with the film itself. I was attending graduate-school when this project unfolded, so I would have to excuse myself from my teaching-duties or conversations every day in order to attend to a different moment. After a while, the retired legionnaire who fired the cannon became accustomed to seeing me make my way up to the fortress every day; occasionally he would deliberately fire the cannon a little early or late, just to mess with my ritual (and all the similar events in town that were structured on hearing the noon-day gun). Rather than have all these super8 outakes just run end-to-end, I cut them up into fixed lengths (multiples of 10 frames I think it was...) and crudely spliced them together in my studio. You'll notice scratches, dirt and jumping frames. That 'decisive moment' is perpetually distended and dislocated. Until now, the expense of making prints (16mm blow-up was the plan) prevented me from 'finishing' the film (and in some ways it wasn't necessary). I had the film transfered to video at the local supermarket and then I digitized and colorized it at work.

Over the past 15 years he has built robots and other machines for exhibition and live performances. The machines comment on our fast evolving relation with technology, often in a humorous manner.Recently, the artist has focused on participatory work, creating a series of temporary factories (aka manufacturing units) where volunteers from the general public are invited to contribute. The factories use a combination of recycled electronic waste and desktop manufacturing tools.For the Digital Design Dropout, Granjon will bring a selection of small machines as well as current work in progress, and one or two lo-tech songs.www.zprod.org The Digital Design Drop-in is a monthly event exploring intersections of arts and technology, inviting artists to show work in the V&A galleries in a pop-up studio format and offering visitors opportunities to meet the artists and discuss new work. http://www.vam.ac.uk/whatson/event/2177/digital-design-drop-in-3447/ Digital Futures: Urban Open SpaceTuesday 21 & Wednesday 22 May 11.00-16.00Sackler CentreFree, Drop-inJoin engineers, scientists, artists, technologists and tinkerers for a Digital Futures special event showcasing brilliant projects and prototypes built during the NASA led International Space Apps Challenge and Urban Prototyping hackathons.

I hope you can join us for drinks and a chat with the artists. ISOCULTURE is looking at a city of the future isolated from the wider environment where humans become self-efficient. Outside of the Isoculture city, the environment becomes a ?no-mans? land. During the project, we transformed Watermans gallery into the Isoculture laboratory where artists Michiko Nitta and Michael Burton worked with the lab participants to conduct experiments and plan the future of the culture. You can see their final work in the gallery until Sunday 26 May. Please visit http://www.burtonnitta.co.uk/isoculture/index.html and http://www.watermans.org.uk/exhibitions/exhibitions/design-an-isoculture.aspx for further info. SHAPE THE FUTUREShape the Future presents selected work from a Recycled Art Competition that aims to develop an art platform of artists who use recycled material to express their visions and ideas.Shape the Future was created by You Are Home Itinerant Ecovillage, (http://www.youarehomeweb.com/) an organisation working on green economy, sustainability, ecology and self-resiliency. Shape the Future is displayed at Watermans until Wednesday 5 June as part of the Isoculture project.http://www.watermans.org.uk/exhibitions/exhibitions/shape-the-future.aspx Artists: Katrin Spranger, bLuELab (AKA Alex Barchiesi, Juditta Marinaro), Stavros Kotsireas, Jane Webb, Michael Szpakowski, Paul Masotic, paula roush, Maria Korporal and Marcia Theophilo, Nikki Whitlock, Della Rees, Beccy Mccray, Yannick Perichon, Ruth Martindale and Massimo Saverio Maida We would like to thank all artists, participants, experts, suppliers and everyone else who helped us make Isoculture and Shape The Future possible!

Message-ID: <51963213.2090708@furtherfield.org> Video of Invisible Forces at Furtherfield Gallery 2012. This video is a historical documentation taken at the Invisible Forces opening event at Furtherfield Gallery, Finsbury Park. http://vimeo.com/44856163 Featuring some of the artists discussing their work at the opening of the event: Class Wargames, Kimathi Donkor, The Hexists, Laura Oldfield Ford, IOCOSE, Dave Miller, Edward Picot, Olga P Massanet & Thomas Cade Aston, and YoHa. Credits: Video by Pablo Robertson de Unamuno Our social, economic and cultural institutions are being dismantled. Control over the provision of social care, urban and rural development, and education is being ceded to the market facilitated by unseen technological and bureaucratic systems. Undeterred, the artists in this exhibition meet the challenges that ensue with clear eyes, spontaneity, experimentation and a sense of adventure. This selection of installations, digital video, net art, painting and drawings deal with conspiracy, money, politics and hidden signals. As we scan our cultures for maps, role-models, possible ways of living in today's world, we often encounter images of society that are created by its hidden, controlling forces. By naming, revealing, tracking, playing, making, subverting and transforming tools, circumstances and figures that give rise to current crises we enlarge the debate and extend our freedoms. And the artists in this exhibition offer examples of just some of the ways in which this might be done.

Daniel Rourke visits the Photographers' Gallery in central London and reviews their latest exhibit One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age by artists Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied, on THE WALL. Over an eight week period (18 April - 17 June 2013) they feature a non-stop stream of video captures of what they term as the lost city and its archival ruins. A documentation of a past visual culture of the web and the creativity of its users with new pages changing every 5 minutes. The project provides a glimpse into web publishing when users were in charge of design and narration in contrast to the automated templates of Facebook, YouTube and Flickr. http://www.furtherfield.org/features/impulse-geocities-archive-one-terabyte-kilobyte-age Moscow-born artist Olia Lialina has, for the past decade, produced many influential works of network-based art: My Boyfriend Came Back from the War (1996), Agatha Appears (1997), First Real Net Art Gallery (1998), and Last Real Net Art Museum (2000). Currently she is a professor at Merz Akademie in Germany. Lialina writes on digital culture, net art and web vernacular. http://art.teleportacia.org/ Dragan Espenschied, born in Germany.

Because you are reading this a very long time after I have died, you cannot understand what I am writing here, and at best it may be possible for you to sound out the words, letter by letter, until the next space is reached. I am dead and am writing this after my death in a project I consider normal writing, clearing out loose ends, as opposed to an other writing full of originality that can only be written, I assume, by someone alive. Because I am dead I imagine this writing carries traces of my death but it is not dead writing, and no writing is dead writing. I think I am a great distance past the entrance of death to the other side of my life and I must look back across this expanse to my being alive, and because of this I cannot write anything that refuses or annuls this span. Because I am dead and writing from the other side, I am dead and this is not writing or rather this may be writing but written by someone who is still alive and writing and is therefore not me. I am dead and I am writing important updates.

Mostly black and white, but with hints of colour; it looks like a comment on information/technology overload one second, then like Aztec art, then like something by Max Escher.

BIOGRAPHY Born from the Oklahoma flatlands of farmers and spring thunderstorms, JASON NELSON somehow stumbled into creating awkward and wondrous digital poems and interactive stories of odd lives, building confounding art games and all manner of curious digital creatures. Currently he professes Net Art and Electronic Literature at Australia?s Griffith University in the Gold Coast's contradictory shores. He exhibits widely with work featured around globe at FILE, ACM, LEA, ISEA, ACM, ELO and dozens of other acronyms. There are awards to list, boards he frequents, and other accolades, but in the web-based realm where his work resides, Jason is most proud of the millions of visitors his artwork/digital poetry portal secrettechnology.com attracts each year.

Opening May 24. Message-ID: Dear friends & colleague, apologize for cross posting, hope you'd forward the news. GLITCH at RUA RED is an annual festival that brings together leading media and technology artists, curators, researchers, and artist groups with audiences to explore emerging and established contemporary cultural and critical issues that arise from artists intersection and investigations with digital technology. GLITCH was founded in 2011 and has gone from strength to strength ever since. This year GLITCH & Run Computer, Run focus on the current economic, political and cultural factors that are shaping the Internet and the artistic responses to them through a series of exhibitions, seminars and a publication. The research will discuss and explore how the practice of the digital artist is in transition, not only with the growth of digital technologies, but also through the offline factors that continue to affect how the Internet as a creative platform is developed. Run Computer, Run takes place during GLITCH festival at RUA RED from May 24 ? July 13.

It went something like this (But not exactly). PL:"Dr. Aronowitz, are you saying that with automation, we will all be set free from labour and be freed into a new leisure class?"

We would be very grateful if you could help her with her survey. cheers Ruth and Marc Dear All, I'm writing to invite your participation in a current residency project at Furtherfield, aiming to review and open-source the artist co-creation site VisitorsStudio. As many of you will know, VisitorsStudio is multi-media co-creation software which aims to work towards Furtherfield?s wider goals by providing a site for real-time collaborative creation, dialogue, polemic and networked performance and play. An essential part of this residency project is to consult with the Furtherfield community about their views on VisitorsStudio, and ways this site could be best redesigned. As part of this process, we would like to invite members of the netbehaviour list to visit and explore the current VisitorsStudio site, and fill out the questionnaire attached above. VisitorsStudio can be accessed at www.visitorsstudio.org, where some of the past international events programmed through VisitorsStudio are also archived, such as the 2004 Dissension Convention: http://www.furtherfield.org/dissensionconvention/. This residency project is quite short and intensive, so if possible we are now asking that completed questionnaires are returned to this address (alexandra.reynolds at kingston.ac.uk) by 5pm next Monday 27th May. Hope this sounds OK, and please do feel free to get in touch with any questions about the project.

It would take something less than a lead sarcophagus to contain my excitement at yet another attempt at the Victorian Internet (no, not the telegraph...). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Jemima_Puddle-Duck "The tale begins in a farmyard which is home to a duck called Jemima Puddle-duck. She wants to hatch her own eggs, but the farmer's wife believes ducks make poor sitters and routinely confiscates their eggs to allow the hens to incubate them. Jemima tries to hide her eggs, but they are always found and carried away. She sets off along the road in poke bonnet and shawl to find a safe place away from the farm to lay her eggs. At the top of a hill, she spies a distant wood, flies to it, and waddles about until she discovers an appropriate nesting place among the foxgloves. However, a charming gentleman with "black prick ears and sandy-coloured whiskers" persuades her to nest in a shed at his home. Jemima is led to his "tumble-down shed" (which is curiously filled with feathers), and makes herself a nest with little ado. Jemima lays her eggs, and the fox suggests a dinner party to mark the event. He asks her to collect the traditional herbs used in stuffing a duck, telling her the seasonings will be used for an omelette. Jemima sets about her errand, but the farm collie, Kep, meets her as she carries onions from the farm kitchen and asks her what she is doing and where she keeps going. She reveals her errand, Kep sees through the fox's plan at once, and find out from Jemima where the fox lives. With the help of two fox-hound puppies, Kep rescues Jemima and the "foxy-whiskered gentleman" is chased away and never seen again. However, the hungry fox-hounds eat Jemima's eggs. Jemima is escorted back to the farm in tears over her lost eggs, but, in time, lays more eggs and successfully hatches four ducklings" What really doesn't scale [my invoice is attached] from art collectives to the feathered barns of the puddleduck economics of corporate social media and its wannabes is social equity (in various senses of the word). This is a managerial problem both technically and ideologically, related to Dunbar's Number and to Egocentric Bias. How you resolve it depends on whether you view human beings as means or ends, and where you see yourself being in five years time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahhWksSmX6s From rob at robmyers.org Tue May 21 13:47:55 2013 From: rob at robmyers.org (Rob Myers) Date: Tue, 21 May 2013 12:47:55 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] robotzzzz In-Reply-To: <20130521011516.03a1a059@jwm-art.net> References: <20130521011516.03a1a059@jwm-art.net> Message-ID: <36cb34386b01f499ca16823189562ca3@pobox.com> On 2013-05-21 01:15, James Morris wrote: > they're currently only > really suited to mass produced items. http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/04/25/makerbot_product_shots02_1.jpg > some are specifically designed > for specific tasks. http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1334842/stomachsculpture2.jpg > a company won't invest in an expensive robot to do a > limited range of tasks very fast and efficiently if they are not mass > producing something ( http://youtu.be/TYJKNmzRypc?t=45s ). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/23/cat-dressed-as-shark-riding-roomba-chasing-duck_n_3140436.html > if a part > needs special attention, a human may be better suited. http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/demonstration-of-a-bomb-disposal-robot-terry-moore.jpg > i don't believe > we're near to replacing all humans in manufacturing jobs with robots. http://techristman.iweb.bsu.edu/RobotHand.gif > robots would need to be highly analytical for that in order to > maintain > themselves. http://io9.com/5980181/art-created-by-industrial-robots-with-chainsaws-++-and-quill-pens > how long until they can move as dynamically as a human? http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/05/boston-dynamics-petman-robot-successfully-wears-clothes-video/ > a > human who does a repetitive job for long enough will find they must > make their movement more efficient, http://laughingsquid.com/the-dramatic-reunion-of-performance-artists-marina-abramovic-ulay/ > they must eliminate any unnecessary > effort in order to reduce physical strain. twisting and turning, > balancing, using gravity, momentum, making it look easy. http://www.robot-welding.com/images/robots.gif > i was going to > say i can't see any benefit of a robot over a human in some situations > - at least no benefit of robots that imitate humans. the only benefit > might be if the robot doesn't experience anything like emotion at all. > a robot that won't get pissed off with their job and walk off for a > breath of fresh air because they can't handle the repetition and > mundanity of the behaviour forced upon them. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17o43eos733jfjpg/original.jpg > but we humans are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. > we > are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the > robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we > are > the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. we are the robots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXa9tXcMhXQ From jwm.art.net at gmail.com Tue May 21 14:20:03 2013 From: jwm.art.net at gmail.com (james morris) Date: Tue, 21 May 2013 13:20:03 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] robotzzzz In-Reply-To: <36cb34386b01f499ca16823189562ca3@pobox.com> References: <20130521011516.03a1a059@jwm-art.net> <36cb34386b01f499ca16823189562ca3@pobox.com> Message-ID: All very distant from the reality I see in every day life. Ancient XYZ robots barely more than corpses hanging over machines with heads hung and bandaged in bubble-wrap. It's cheaper to get a human doing their job than to get them working again. A human can produce while a robot in maintenance potentially blocks production. Cutting edge stuff shows what's coming... Eventually... All the factories I've ever worked in (and all still going, though dwindling) use ancient equipment. Industrial machines bought off e-bay.

His piece frequencies(a) has been awarded 2 days ago with the prestigious Golden Nica for the "Digital Musics and Sound Art" section by the Ars Electronica Festival (http://www.aec.at/prix/gewinner/). Nicolas is a sound artist working with digital and mechanical tools. Dichotomies seem to best describe his artistic production: digital/organic, tradition/experimentation, cerebral/sensual, mechanical/electronic. His artistic creations and collaborations range widely; he's also member of Perte de Signal, a Montreal-based collective and media arts research centre (http://perte-de-signal.org/), and PhD candidate in sonic arts at the University of Huddersfield (UK). The Golden Nica was the occasion to interview Nicolas about his latest projects and his recent live performance of frequencies(a) during the Elektra festival in Montreal, directed by the artist and curator Alain Thibault.

The bird metaphor as a contemporary cultural form By Silvia Bertolotti The Digital Now is an exhibition series exploring international current art practices in relation to the contemporary media and digital framework. Drones/Birds: princes of ubiquity, the first chapter of the series, took place in Brussels one month ago, from April 10 to April 21, 2013. On this occasion collateral events were also held: an opening concert with dj set and an artists talk organized in cooperation with ArtistTalk.eu and Transmedia. Honor Harger, director at Lighthouse, and James Bridle, artist, publisher and technologist, were invited speakers at the aforesaid symposium that was moderated by Michel van Dartel (curator at V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media). The exchange focused on the use of drone-technology from an artistic and curatorial perspective. The Drones/Birds exhibition was curated by Bram Crevits.

Surprise struck also for the consequent money allocation: one billion euros in ten years to create a complete simulation of the human brain through a network of supercomputers. This project has been seen as an unrealistically attainable goal, or even an ill-posed problem [ii], but this and other similar projects do not come from nowhere [iii]. They have about 50 years of history behind, collected in the discipline known as Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The workshop takes the theme of power relations specifically scenes from Marat/Sade by Peter Weiss and uses it to explore tools of devising story telling. Breaking the theme to the different medias and opening the power relations. The workshop delivers ways of working with digital technology such as social networks, live streaming and mobile devices while it is incorporated into a live performance. The workshops are part of a devising process of my new project that looks at: Mutiny/resistance, power relations, perception/perspective. The aim of the project is to raise the audiences awareness about the way we judge events in our lives. The main idea is to remind people that media is indoctrinated and not objective. Doesn't matter if it is tv, fb, newspaper, online news, blogs.... even if they bring only facts, it has an agenda. During the workshop we try structures, brain storm ideas, explore and experiment. Do confirm your arrival, each workshop is open to new people The devising progress brings the ideas and structures from previous rehearsals. place: ]performance space [ in hackney wick. About me: I'm an interdisciplinary artist. I am inspired by physical theatre, interactive/promanade theatre and at the moment I focus on online performances that engage audience online and onsite. I created a devising method I call Steer. It is based on a research of audience/performance relationships and the affect of the artist intention on these relationships.

June 2013) and the lasting influence of Duchamp on the art world in all its guises, the Barbican are collaborating with Queen Mary, University of London to commission three pieces of work from PhD students on the Media and Arts Technology Programme. These commissions each feature the use of digital technology, and are directly inspired by the themes running through our multidisciplinary Duchamp season including: the use of chance; provocative humour; real life over art. We are pleased to announce that the first of the three commissions is ?Status Suit? by John Wild (johnwild.info), with the subsequent two to be announced later in May. Mirroring online profiles and our constant social interactions with the world, ?Status Suit? is a suit with an embedded LCD screen, broadcasting the wearer?s status updates simultaneously on the jacket and to Twitter. Personal thoughts are no longer private, opening up the possibility of unmediated comments, interactions, discussions and conflict. For the Dancing around Duchamp season :: the Status Suit will be worn and a series of 'found' status updates (extracted from twitter using a search algorithm based on the key words 'I' 'feel") will be repurposed and rebroadcast both to the jacket and Twitter. The Status Suit will be worn on the following days: ? Sat 4 May ? London Sat 11 May - Berlin Sat 25 May ? London You can follow the suit on its travels on Twitter @Status_Suit #StatusSuit About John Wild John Wild is an artist, anarchitect, anti-disciplinary researcher, and psychogeographical explorer of digital meta-space. He is currently a PhD student within the Media and Arts Technology Programme at Queen Mary. His work has been exhibited at Late at the Tate, Arnolfini, Sonic Arts Expo and the Royal College of Art.

And when i do, it's bliss and joy on every floor. Right now the institution is showing Cultural Hijack, an exhibition which presents a series of provocative interventions which have inserted themselves into the world, demanding attention, interrupting everyday life, hijacking, trespassing, agitating and teasing. Often unannounced and usually anonymous, these artworks have appropriated media channels, hacked into live TV and radio broadcasts, attacked billboards, re-appropriated street furniture, subverted signs, monuments and civic architectures, organised political actions as protest, exposed corporations and tax loopholes and revealed the absurdities of government bureaucracies. http://we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2013/05/cultural-hijack.php#.UZ3vI4JAsb0 From netbehaviour at furtherfield.org Thu May 23 12:46:58 2013 From: netbehaviour at furtherfield.org (netbehaviour) Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 11:46:58 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Reminder - McKenzie Wark talk at Furtherfield Message-ID: <519DF3A2.8000804@furtherfield.org> Saturday 25 May 4-5.30pm McKenzie Wark, author of The Beach Beneath the Street, will give a talk at Furtherfield Gallery about his latest book The Spectacle of Disintegration - Situationist Passages Out of the 20th Century.

Yours, xname http://xname.cc/dusty_mariee http://blog.barbican.org.uk/post/50996598487/digital-duchamp-dusty-mariee This event is supported by Queen Mary University of London -------------------------------------------------- Dusty Mariee is a live, continuous, audio-video stream broadcasted to the Internet from my apartment on the 19th floor of the Balfron Tower, the iconic example of brutalist architecture designed by Erno Goldfinger in 1963. The stream represents the large glass that separates my personal space from the external world, that is to say: private and public life. The camera focuses on the dust stratifying on the surface of the glass, while London and the artist inhabiting the flat appear as projections, phantom shadows over the much more stable, yet ever-changing, image of the dust, representing time and matter. Contact microphones on the surface of the window transform the glass into a very powerful long distance zoom: at random, the construction captures and reproduces the sounds that the city of London emits through the Net, transforming the glass into a gigantic microphone, producing a 'sounding' of both audible and visible multi-scalar dimensions of an environment. But who, or what, is La mariee? -------------------------------------------------- Dusty Mariee uses a Large Glass, a contact microphone, a Gumstix, a Linux Kernel, a Debian server, Icecast, Gstreamer, Ogg/Theora, Git, Javascript, the Balfron tower, a mixer, and some derelict electronics. Thanks to Antonios Galanopoulos for technical support.

Gibsonian cyberspace was a projection of socioeconomic order, different from our own only in its Reaganomics. It was a hyperspace, a space above and beyond our own yet mapped onto it. Hyperspace as commonly encountered in science fiction is a plot device allowing starships to travel faster than light. It is an alternate dimension with smaller dimensions than our own. Several light years, or several years, of travel in our own dimension might be just a few light days, or days, in hyperspace. We can jump into hyperspace and save that time without having to break the light barrier or having to find something for the characters to do during the journey. It is an exploit, in the computer security sense, on physical and narrative spacetime. Like teleportation, hyperspace drives displace matter without it interacting with the intervening spacetime. They are a logistical technology. Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between points. In contemporary global capitalism, logistics companies collect, transport and deliver items as quickly as possible almost unseen using networked information technology systems and fleets of dedicated vehicles, stopping only in vast warehouses to allow gross physical reality to catch up with mathematics. Virilio is right about speed, this is about power. The paperless office isn't here, and the flow of bits and pennies is entangled with atoms. We cannot break these limits but we can circumvent them with logistics. Logistics is a non-Euclidian projection (in the mathematical, military, and psychological senses) of socioeconomic order. It is hyperspace.

By Chris Baranuk (2012) "The strangeness of technology, the lack of understanding consumers have had regarding its processes and inner workings has traditionally led to speculation of an anthropomorphic, even folkloric kind. Radio was quite widely believed to be an effective method of communing with the deceased when it was first invented.

Deadline Extended! In-Reply-To: References: , Message-ID: Dear Netbehaviourists, This is a second quick appeal to ask for your help with a project reviewing and open-sourcing Furtherfield's artist co-creation software, VisitorsStudio (more information about the site and the project can be found below). We'd really appreciate it if you could fill out the attached questionnaire - and feel free to be as honest and open as you like - your ideas and opinions will help make sure VisitorsStudio meets the needs and interests of its current users as well as possible. The time-scale of project to review VisitorsStudio is quite short, but we've extended the deadline to next Wednesday 29th May to make sure as many people as possible can get involved. You can send over your completed questionnaires to this address: alexandra.reynolds at kingston.ac.uk. You can also get in touch with me here with any questions or queries you might have about the project. Many thanks in advance for your time, and have a great weekend! Best wishes, Alex (PhD in Residence at Furtherfield) ________________________________________ From: Reynolds, Alexandra S Sent: 17 May 2013 15:15 To: netbehaviour at netbehaviour.org Subject: Questionnaire to Help Review VisitorsStudio Dear All, I'm writing to invite participation in a current residency project at Furtherfield, aiming to review and open-source the artist co-creation site VisitorsStudio. As many of you will be aware, VisitorsStudio is multi-media co-creation software which aims to work towards Furtherfield?s wider goals by providing a site for real-time collaborative creation, dialogue, polemic and networked performance and play. An essential part of this residency project is to consult with the Furtherfield community about their views on VisitorsStudio, and ways this site could be best redesigned. As part of this process, we would like to invite members of the netbehaviour list to visit and explore the current VisitorsStudio site, and fill out the questionnaire attached above. VisitorsStudio can be accessed at www.visitorsstudio.org, where some of the past international events programmed through VisitorsStudio are also archived, such as the 2004 Dissension Convention: http://www.furtherfield.org/dissensionconvention/. This residency project is quite short and intensive, so if possible we are asking that completed questionnaires are returned to this address (alexandra.reynolds at kingston.ac.uk) by 5pm next Friday 24th May. Hope this sounds OK, and please do feel free to get in touch with any questions about the project. You can also find some further information about the residency here: http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/residencies/reviewing-and-open-sourcing-visitorsstudio.

Message-ID: We stand helpless before the corporate onslaught. There is no way to vote against corporate power. Citizens have no way to bring about the prosecution of Wall Street bankers and financiers for fraud, military and intelligence officials for torture and war crimes, or security and surveillance officers for human rights abuses. The Federal Reserve is reduced to printing money for banks and financiers and lending it to them at almost zero percent interest; corporate officers then lend it to us at usurious rates as high as 30 percent. I do not know what to call this system. It is certainly not capitalism. Extortion might be a better word. The fossil fuel industry, meanwhile, relentlessly trashes the ecosystem for profit. The melting of 40 percent of the summer Arctic sea ice is, to corporations, a business opportunity. Companies rush to the Arctic and extract the last vestiges of oil, natural gas, minerals and fish stocks, indifferent to the death pangs of the planet.

On Monday, Guatemala's Constitutional Court overturned the conviction of former dictator Efran Ros Montt, an army general who ruled as de facto president from 1982 to 1983. On May 10, Ros Montt, 86, was found guilty by a three-panel tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity, and sentenced to 80 years in the slammer; he is the first former head of state in the Americas to stand trial for genocide. But less than two weeks later, Guatemala's highest court threw out all proceedings in the case dating back to April 19, in part thanks to an aggressive lobbying effort by the nation's most influential business federation. My order came next. Hidden inside fluffy yet crisply fried thin breading were the mahi-mahi slices, artistically served. Yet another surprise! The mahi-mahi had sweet, mildly pronounced flavors that were further enhanced when dipped into white sauce, soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce. The mahi-mahi was served with strips of fried locally produced sweet potatoes, lemon and cucumber slices.

He?s also been known for his active and ongoing engagement with a certain body of ideas associated with the Situationist International (S.I.)?a coalition of subversive thinkers and doers who coalesced in Europe around 1957 (to drift, drink, and d?tourn). In spite of everything having already turned to shit, Wark kindly met with Brooklyn?s Montgomery Cantsin on the 16th of May, 2013, in Manhattan. Prior to a show and tell?of Wark?s 3D-printed Guy Debord Action Figures (?His action is smoking,? says Wark) and Cantsin?s metagraphic tattoo (from a design by Isidore Isou)?the two spoke briefly about philosophy, history, science, and technology. Wark would soon be on his way to the U.K. where (in addition to doing an event at Furtherfield) he?s headed for a speaking engagement (for his new book?just published by Verso?Spectacle of Disintegration) that?ll put him right alongside the former Situationists Alice Becker-Ho and Jacqueline de Jong. Montgomery Cantsin is an emerging Brooklyn-based intermedia artist. Cantsin's visual collage work is currently included in the Hayward Touring group show "Outrageous Fortune," while Cantsin's audio collage work has recently appeared online at HTML Giant. Also a 16MM film freak, Cantsin has worked as a researcher for such found-footage filmmakers Craig Baldwin, Bill Morrison, and Ben Rivers. Cantsin currently makes GIFs for the Berlin-based group Network Awesome.

Like all the people complaining I went to my account and discovered the look had completely changed, on the same day the Yahoo acquired Tumblr. No consultation, no warning. Ironically I've vociferously?defended Flickr as a place which could?support - despite its coporate nature-?an authentic networked image practice. I liked the fact that people who are attempting art are in there with hobbyists, outsiders, cat photographers,?family snaps &c. See?this?( scroll down for polemic): ? http://www.flickr.com/groups/bollocks_to_james_elkins/ Like many of those complaining I feel totally let down, especially as it is so clearly a triumph of "monetisation" over anything else. I also feel ( in common with many, I think) what we northerners used to call a *right chump* for not having been more on my guard. The changes: Yahoo has got rid of "pro" where one paid for space and no ads and replaced it with the bribe of huge free storage, 1TB,?with ads ( or you can buy yourself out of these at about twice the old "pro" rate). At the same time the Tumblr like abutment of everything in?one's image stream and the FB like home page is clearly designed to tap in to the 15-?25 demographic and bring the ad money rolling in. The response has been huge, from a diverse constituency largely united by the fact that it is composed of people who had paid for space, spent a huge amount of time cultivating both the presentation of their own work and their dialogue with others and who feel that this has been utterly?wrecked. In particular the loss of white space around individual images is both a huge beef for those people and a clear symptom of Yahoo's view that photos have interest only by the bucketload.T he stuff about the improved size and resolution is a red herring. One has always been able to access images at many different sizes. What's also intresting is that most people are simply demanding a choice ( which Capital is always vaunted as offering us) - if you like the new format, fine, use it but let us continue to use the old one. Yahoo's refusal to date to even discuss this is profoundly symptomatic of what is driving all this. What particualrly makes me seethe is the argument that somehow the presentation on the site was "out of date". It reminds me of Blair's assertion that class struggle was "out of date"? and the general fetishising?( usually for nefarious purposes) of the shiny, the up to date, the modern. For me it is absolutely clearly the *standout*, kick-to-the-stomach, goodbye?to any lingering?feeling that the net in and of itself represents anything progressive. It is subject to exactly the same forces as any other technology and its applications under capital. Of course the affair of?Google and Amazon and tax show this even more brutally in one way?but when it is a case of work that people felt?was somehow an expression of a corner of unalienated cultural activity being shat upon by -?literally- the Yahoos it stings. cheers michael PS Apart from registering (once and relatively mildly) my displeasure on the Flickr blog, here's my personal protest: http://www.flickr.com/photos/szpako/ You might need to scroll down a bit to see it all... ________________________________ From: Rob Myers To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 1:42 PM Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] Links On 2013-05-24 13:09, Michael Szpakowski wrote: > Hi Rob > I love the links; you're always pretty much on anything that moves.

Now kanonmedia is invited by upgrade!zagreb to stage a media lecture on the interactive mechanisms and the dramaturgical structures of the trilogy: #WB: quoting Walter Benjamin An analogue-digital reading A print compilation and real-time performance reflecting the contemporary relevance of the media theorist and philosopher Walter Benjamin. The structure of facebook as a social networking tool and magazine with decentralized notes,essays and media publications, in a mixture of private and public statements coming from all kinds of content fields, enhanced the concept of short daily updating and interactive communication to collectively create an associative publication on life and oeuvre of Walter Benjamin. More info on: http://www.kanonmedia.com/portfolio/publications/benjamin_paris.html Tribute to Hans Richter A participative audiovisual enactment on contemporary issues of the artistic sovereign Oscillating between the conscious creation of fiction and unconscious narration, improvised performance and collective artistic action; reflecting the role of the artist as so-called professional and that as a political sovereign; exploring aesthetic deepening and social action, the interactive audiovisual enactment Tribute to Hans Richter is an appreciation of the aesthetic work and the political attitude of the Dadaist and early experimental filmmaker Hans Richter. In a common experience with the audience, it reviews the Dadaist approaches developed in the beginnings of film history in terms of their contemporary relevance for Expanded Cinema in the second decade of the 21st Century. More info on: http://www.kanonmedia.com/portfolio/richter.html Blessed Simonida from the Brilliant Grounds An audiovisual enactment on contemporary issues of the political sovereign referring to Brecht Simonida is a Romni who works and lives at Hotel am Brillantengrund, the name of the hotel describing its location in a quarter of Vienna which once was the most wealthy industrial quarter of the city. Simonida enjoyed thorough education but to make a living she works as a waitress but knows poverty very well. She is aware of the plight of those who struggle for daily bread, but she is convinced that people ? however they want to live or however they can make a living - deserve a life of prosperity and recognition. She tirelessly fights for the rights of the disenfranchised, but her battle is getting tougher in a capitalism being as shattered as ruthless. Simonida is stretched to her limits. Does this struggle make sense at all?

Foscari University in Venice presents: 'WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO NOWHERE' Ca' Foscari University, Dorsoduro, Venice Friday, May 31 - From 11.00 to 13.00 Curated by: Marco Mancuso With: Alessio Erioli, Bertram Niessen, Domenico Quaranta, Valentina Tanni The meeting will focus on the possible intermedia territories related to the impact of digital technologies and open networks on contemporary art, design and society. We are on a road whose final destination is unknown. We can barely distinguish its edges, its borders, its rules of travel. But in the end we do not care that much. We are jauntily adapting our professionalism, our interests, our fields of research and analysis, in order to understand the complexity of contemporaneity. We are not worried, we are not confused. We observe art, culture, markets, design in our Information Age, envisaging future scenarios and comparing them with past experiences, noting overlapping elements between disciplines, materializing in the folds of possible differences between research areas. We are living in a mature age, aware of the social, economic and creative limits of technologies, but also looking at their development and impact on society through a professional and curios perspective. So, we are on a road of inconsistencies, of sudden changes, of at times destabilizing extremes. We live its complexity and are not only keen to analyse it, we try to make it part of our lives and work. We seek to illustrate it through exhibitions, meetings, articles, round tables, readings, educational activities. We are no longer children and we know what we want, we know out of which material our future is made and which kind of technology it will adopt in order to acquire a new shape, a shape which we still do not know. But give us the time to find this out: our curiosity is everybody?s curiosity, and reflects that aspiration to understand the society we live in. Alessio Erioli, Bertram Niessen, Domenico Quaranta and Valentina Tanni will guide us along this road. They will tell us about the dynamics related to information dissemination, about networks and channels promoting professional and artistic collaborations. They will explain to us how to observe nature and landscapes around us, for us to replicate their shapes, approaches and parameters. They will lead us towards technological complexity and variety of styles, expressions and languages that characterize contemporary art, while reflecting on the meaning of identity and medialisation which is part of us, men and women of the XXI Century.

Join Leonardo programme! June 4th is going to be Leonardo Day in Copenhagen with 2 events: - The 4th Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks Symposium organised by Leonardo at NetSci (8:30 am ? 5 pm) - The Data Body on the Dissection Table round table co-organised in the evening by Leonardo/Olats and the Medical Museion Copenhagen (6:30 ? 9:30 pm) * Short info on the 4th Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks Symposium The fourth Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci2013 on Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks takes place on June 4th at DTU in Copenhagen. The aim of the symposium is to foster cross-disciplinary research on complex systems within or with the help of arts and humanities. The symposium highlights arts and humanities as an interesting source of data, where the combined experience of arts, humanities research, and natural science makes a huge difference in overcoming the limitations of artificially segregated communities of practice. Furthermore, the symposium focuses on striking examples, where artists and humanities researchers make an impact within the natural sciences. By bringing together network scientists and specialists from the arts and humanities we strive for a better understanding of networks and their visualizations in general. The overall mission is to bring together pioneer work, leveraging previously unused potential by developing the right questions, methods, and tools, as well as dealing with problems of information accuracy and incompleteness. Running parallel to the NetSci2013 conference, the symposium also provides a unique opportunity to mingle with leading researchers and practitioners of complex network science, potentially sparking fruitful collaborations. more here: http://artshumanities.netsci2013.net/ * Short info on The Data Body on the Dissection Table Dissection reveals what lies beneath the skin, but for a brief moment in time, and for a priviledged few. Depictions, models, and preservations have long been used to share what dissection uncovers; from ancient anatomical drawings to today?s virtual 3D anatomies. Contemporary medical sciences reveal ever more about the complex systems of the human body ? but at a barely perceptible level. The (medical) human body today is understood, tested, and treated as a huge system of data, including complex interactions between our genetic material, our environment, and our host of microbial companions. How do we grab hold of this data? How do we make sense of it and communicate it to others? How do contemporary artists and designers give our ?data body? material form through images, sound, and touch? What kind of tools are complex networks science proposing, and what kind of body do they reveal? Speakers include Albert-L?szl? Barab?si, Distinguished Professor and Director of Northeastern University Center for Complex Network Research, Boston; Fran?ois-Joseph Lapointe, Professor at the Biological Sciences Department, University of Montreal and Artist; Annamaria Carusi, Associate Professor in Philosophy of Medical Science and Technology at the University of Copenhagen and Jamie Allen, Artist and Head of Research at CIID/Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. The event is co-organised by Leonardo/Olats and Medical Museion under the EU Studiolab framework, and in conjunction with the Leonardo Day "Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks" satellite event for NetSci 2103.

The Project Biennial D-0 ARK Underground, Bosnia and Herzegovina book intends to provide an overall representation of the Project Biennial D-0 ARK Underground, held in Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is edited in a way to unfold the content chronologically, shaped by the curatorial and artistic content accumulated in the course of two biennial editions, in 2011 and 2013. Furthermore, in the book, the director of the project, Edo Hozi?, thoroughly explains his understanding and engagement with the cultural and the political substance of the bunker in the frame of the larger cultural discourse of Balkan region and beyond. Project D-0 ARK Underground, stationed in the space of the Atomic shelter in Konjic, 45km south of Sarajevo, is known as Tito's atomic shelter. The CODE name is Istanbul. The object is still under the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the project is to transform this military object to a cultural center, hence the biennial is establishing a contemporary art museum inside of a historical museum. Edited by Basak Senova, the book is organized in five chapters. The first chapter presents the curatorial statements that elaborate on the issues and conditions that have formed the infrastructure of the project. Chapter two is dedicated to the works that are exhibited in the bunker accompanied by brief descriptions and images. The following chapter further discusses the existence and the significance of the project through the concept of 'vintage' by taking 'the cold war era' as the point of its departure. Chapter four recapitulates the outcome of the public program during the second edition by focusing on the public programming and discussions that took place in Sarajevo as an accompanying event of the biennial opening. Finally, the last chapter depicts the chronology of the project by providing brief information on talks, presentations, workshops and seminars that took place within the project. This book has been published by the Association Biennial of Contemporary Art, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and supported by UNESCO. The 2nd edition of the Project Biennial D-0 ARK Underground, Bosnia and Herzegovina, curated by Basak Senova and Branko Franceschi, takes place through September 26, 2013. ++++++++ Basak Senova http://basaksenova.com http://nomad-tv.net From netbehaviour at furtherfield.org Mon May 27 16:22:04 2013 From: netbehaviour at furtherfield.org (netbehaviour) Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 15:22:04 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions Message-ID: <51A36C0C.9020801@furtherfield.org> Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions ID/ENTITY monochrom's festival on sex and tech and id/entities. October 3-6, 2013 in San Francisco. Call for talks, performances, workshops, games, machines. Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2013 ---------------- Sex, technology, identity... big-ass sweeping themes for Arse Elektronika 2013. Identity, but also identification. Technologies for the exploration of identities. Technologies for the articulation and performance of identities. Technologies for the enforcement of hegemonic identities. Technologies for the verification of identities. For example: What about the vast fencing-off of the old wild internet; the #nym-wars and the push for "real names"? We typically assume there is 'something' that takes and/or performs an identity. What is this entity? Are awareness and consciousness strictly limited to and made sense of in human experience alone? How is identity understood and made sense of in terms of artificial intelligence? What might transhuman, android, or cyborg identities consist of? What does sexual desire mean to a dolphin? We have technology-based identities. If we are to agree that agency is a key factor in identity AND position technology as extension/manipulation of agency, then is technology an identity in and of itself? The Bay Area, famous as a place to "find yourself," also hosts vast projects to organize and catalog the world's identities, whether they want that or not. So, how does the Californian Ideology drive identity politics and techno-sexuality? Will apps like Bang With Friends and gadgets like Google Glass provide us with the ultimate gonzo pornoverse? And why are services like LinkedIn explicitly banning escorts from using the site to get clients? What have been the social ramifications of Web 2.0, ten years on? By what means have queer users of dating sites and social networks reframed or otherwise hacked the systems surrounding them? What is the design history of the drop-down gender menu- and its alternatives? How did Facebook's inclusion of "in an open relationship" as a standard option for one's relationship status affect youth mores? What has been the effect of location-based hookup apps on the architecture of cruising? What are the economics of niche dating sites, and how are they policed? What are the ethical obligations surrounding the ability to algorithmically identify those who are in the closet? What technologies could ensure more flexible, fluid identities? What would TSA protocols look like if they were designed from a queer perspective? What does counter-surveillant fashion look like? How might we ensure the right not to be found? (Should we?) Are there technologies for anonymity that do not also afford stalking and harassment? Are there technologies for transparency that do not also afford stalking and harassment? If an identity requires recognition (either by the self or through the Other), then is it ever possible to be "truly" or "identifiably" queer? Is 'queer identity' an oxymoron? Former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit warns that legalizing gay marriage in the UK "opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination." Interesting times for sex tech? Indeed! What about a historic dimension? What were techno-sexual systems of identity like in the past? What were the technologies of masked rituals? What technologies drove the invention of privacy? How did the adoption of fingerprinting change the regulation of prostitution in the early 20th century? Besides hanky-flagging, what techniques/technologies were used to signal 'deviant' interests? How was handwriting judged in the evaluation of potential lovers? What is the techno-social history of the "secret admirer?" How will technological progress change the way we see ourselves? What are we without our iPhone and our beloved designer vibrator? Is the Marxian commodity fetish actually entering the sphere of (what a wordplay!) customization fetishism? If orgasm patterns are unique and impossible to duplicate, could one's sexual response be the ultimate biometric identifier? So, how worried should we be about the spectre of sphincter-printing? What about Big Data in a sexual context? Does size matter? What about a decent ontological debate with your buttplug's AI? Well... dear entities out there, with your proud Egos, Super-Egos and Hyper-Egos! Never forget that there is an Id lurking round the corner!

The rules of their space define our ability to perceive our own forward movement. But deep within this internalized exterior space are dancing lights which move in a new dimension. One whose reality more mimics our physical memory, our memory of being outside of the virtualized exteriority. The movement of light still occurs within the music, but slightly offset from it.

From the Indian state of Kerala, he is completing 25 years in the island as a caretaker of an old coastal resort uninhabited with a vast area of lifeless plain. He is riding a 50% corroded (due to the interaction with the sea) 1985 model Land Cruiser. It still runs 50 km per hour.

Science and Technology serves museums in a variety of ways: from the technical examination of artist's methods and materials; to informing decisions on safer ways to exhibit, store, and transport art; and finally to investigating new conservation methods that are safer or more effective. All museums benefit from the application of science in some way. Modern and contemporary art poses specific challenges for two different reasons: the media the artists can draw from is more varied than any other period in history and the works are all young in age. These aspects can make a conservator's job easy or extremely difficult. They can also help improve our understanding of how works by Old Masters may have changed. Since conservators of contemporary art are often the first to treat an object it is particularly important treatments are always carefully considered and well informed and science can play a major role in that regard. Indigenous communities in remote areas of Brazil have begun to recognise that they have the right to not be hungry, and are learning that food security means much more than simply having food on the table. Rosileia Cruz, 19, dreams of studying journalism. She chooses her words carefully A knife-wielding bandit slashed a young Hamilton soldier's hand as the trooper tried to hold onto $4,500 cash intended for Canadian military families. Hamilton police said the soldier was robbed as he left his home on Erie Avenue at 10 a.m. Thursday. The 22-year-old was confronted by a "scraggly-looking" man who asked for money, then pulled a knife. In the fight that followed, the soldier was cut and dropped a pouch containing the cash, which the bandit grabbed. "The suspect looked inside and then ran off," said police Sergeant Terri-Lynn Collings. The victim who was wearing a Help For Heroes t-shirt was said to have been attacked by two men armed with knives, including a machete and a meat cleaver. What questions do you have about the job?

Gentlemen: Has there been any indication from your readers of the scarcitty of butterflies this year? In this area which is usually quite prolific, I have seen practically none with the exception of a few flights of Fritillaries. Since March I have seen but one example of an Apantesis virgo, no Catocala caras at all, veryfew Swallowtails, one Queloia, no Peacock's Eyes, no Hipposcatics, and not even a sinclge Red Admiral in my garden, which last summer was teeming with butterflies. I wonder if this scarcity is widespread, and if so, what is the cause of it? M.

I was at Venice Biennale in 2003 when there was actually a brilliant and brave exhibition curated by Hou Hanru Z.O.U Zone of Urgency. It didn't focus on the individual artist but was rather a packed environment that dealt with daily living and culture to create a both chilling and exciting environment cutting across national boundaries. It didn't go down very well with the critics but that year being the year of the war with Iraq was hailed as brave in its politicisation. I still reel from the time I was watching a video about homelessness in South America (in the exhibition The Structure of Survival) in the same year while a group of people around me were very loudly discussing how they could get entry to Jay Jopling's 40th birthday party (after a short two sentences about how moving the show was). Where the politics exist, it is an opportunity for people to absolve their conscience. They've seen the work, commented sympathetically, which makes them politically motivated.... Regarding Jeremy Deller, I actually think that he means what he says in his work and as you say 'he does it well'. But he has successfully negotiated the art market - does that mean he's a sellout? Probably yes. He probably thinks that it is good that he has been able to manoeuvre into this position and get on message. I probably feel like Dave on this one - not good enough...and it will just be bought by those people wealthy enough to buy it. However, I can't help but like the images I've seen. The bigger problem is Venice Biennale. Most people involved in the arts go there at some point whatever their thoughts about it (I've been twice and represented an artist once while not liking the experience much and I'm not alone) - it is an opportunity to network with a range of people (not just investment bankers). But for me it is a horrible sociopathfest in the name of art that mostly misses the point of what the power of art can be in a socio/political context. It was ok when there were outlets for experimental practice but visual arts has been reduced to community/wellbeing and/or the art market. Venice Biennale shows both with only surface gloss around concepts, ideas and sociopolitical issues. It's not that the work is not good, but it is the environment in which it is shown in and the complicity of the artist to that environment that is negative. There are always some great shows in Venice but it takes a lot and a "critical" mass to make it so. Unfortunately I suspect that art no longer occupies the Zone of Urgency. Some of its language does though and there are many on this list that are involved in activism and interesting art approaches. At the moment I really have to salute Mark McGowan for his work (which is some really hardcore performance) on politics in UK and of course Furtherfield who make it possible for people to post on this list in this way without worrying about a whole agenda about the history of media/arts and the key players in it. I have a couple of projects on the go at the moment for next year that I hope will broach some of these issues. More on that later... Meantime thanks for reading if you got this far.

As many are aware the Venice Biennale also says nothing to most people. In regard to Jeremy Deller, his work itself may not necessarily be the issue, and as Helen clearly mentioned, it's more the system which is at fault. >I still reel from the time I was watching a video about homelessness in South >America (in the exhibition The Structure of Survival) in the same year while >a group of people around me were very loudly discussing how they could get >entry to Jay Jopling's 40th birthday party? Unfortunately, the Art world can be extremely, shallow and overwhelmingly lacking in depth. However, we could mistake the real picture of things by allowing the snivelling sycophants and those that support these false structures, as a guideline and measurement of what is really important. If we rely on the mainstream art institutions to represent our art culture, we will always be disappointed. We are then left with an art culture where artists are merely consumer brands, representatives and ambassadors of conventional taste, no matter how radical the contemporary art world or academic wisdom tries to pretend it is. ?The more art meets the demands of business, governments and the super-rich, the more the promise of that freedom falters.? (Stallabrass) We are presented with a spurious version of art-reality, a false consciousness dedicated to the embodiment of a class where a filtering out of difference creates a homogeneity in which we are forced to see art much like merchandise in a shopping mall. Celebrity, genius and scarcity become the main selling points in established art venues and traditional art magazines. Gregory Sholette explores this in his book ?Dark Matter: Art and Politics in the Age of Enterprise Culture?, proposing that art thrives in the independent and non-commercial sectors and the material produced by unrepresented artists, feeds the mainstream to sustain a few artists within the art world elite. He sees those ?left out? of the branding exercises prescribed by the corporate run, contemporary art world, as ?Dark Matter?. He borrows the term ?Dark Matter? from the science of cosmology, which refers to the immense quantity of non-reflective material that we cannot see out there, in the universe. In theory, this invisible matter makes up most of the universe, and is estimated to constitute 84% of the universe and 23% of it is mass energy. Like its astronomical cousin, artistic Dark Matter makes up most of the cultural universe in contemporary, post-industrial society. "Yet, while cosmic Dark Matter is actively being sought by scientists, the size and composition of artistic Dark Matter is of little interest to the men, women and institutions of the art world.? (Sholette) Sorry for quoting Stallabrass & Sholette, but what they propose I feel is relevant to the discussion. Wishing you well. marc > Hi Dave and Netbehaviourists > > It takes a lot for me to comment on things these days but I'm behind you here mostly Dave. > > I was at Venice Biennale in 2003 when there was actually a brilliant and brave exhibition curated by Hou Hanru Z.O.U Zone of Urgency.

In this way, glitches announce a crazy and dangerous kind of moment(um) instantiated and dictated by the machine itself.?/ Rosa Menkman. Glitches are commonly understood as malfunctions, bugs or sudden disruptions to the normal running of machine hardware and computer networks. Artists have been tweaking these technologies to deliberately produce glitches that generate new meanings and forms. The high-speed networks of creation and distribution across the Internet have provided the perfect compost to feed this international craze. This exhibition shows various approaches by artists hacking familiar hardware and their devices which include mobile phones, and kindles. They disrupt both the softwares and the digital artefacts produced by these softwares whether it be in the form of video, sound, drawing or woven glitch textiles. + More information about the exhibition ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Location* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Furtherfield Gallery & Social Space McKenzie Pavilion, Finsbury Park London N4 2NQ MAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Transport* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tube: Manor House, Finsbury Park Buses: 141, 341, 153, 253, 254, 259, 29, 4, N253, N279, N29 Train: Finsbury Park, Harringay, Harringay Green Lanes stations ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *About Furtherfield* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Furtherfield provides platforms for art, technology and social change.

October is a documentary artwork about the early rise and fall of the Occupy movement. It is made entirely from information found on the worldwide web. First and foremost, October is a portrait of a protest movement -one that rapidly propagated itself through its use of the Internet, replicating its own language, methods and behaviours around the world to encompass a diverse range of issues surrounding social and economic inequality. October focuses on two key events -the global day of action that took place on October 15th 2011, where Occupy Wall Street spread almost spontaneously to over 900 cities worldwide, and then a systematic crackdown on many of the camps that had emerged taking place from November 2011 In making this work, we want to consider what it means to witness something that can only be apprehended, represented and documented through the mediated space of the Internet -the very same network that spawned Occupy as a global phenomenon in the first place." http://www.photoworks.org.uk/news/79 From dave.miller.uk at gmail.com Fri May 31 12:12:59 2013 From: dave.miller.uk at gmail.com (dave miller) Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 11:12:59 +0100 Subject: [NetBehaviour] spy on your neighbours!

Just keep your back straight. Capitalize on your sentences. Wasn't she in your class, or your neighbour? Still alive, like you. Impossible to explode. You wanted to explode in Asia, in America, on the moon, in the ocean, in the air. Words are not even words. The handle is lacking on the drawer. The key is inside the locked drawer. You can peek through but it's all dark. Why shouldn't it be dark? The jar of water is transparent. Did you know water is invisible? I'd like to be water, or the dark. Your own personal invisibility-button on your chest. What a relief! The observer only. Of time goes by. It would turn into an addiction, large parts of humanity would turn into dark matter, dark energy not accounted for - but a way to keep the population away from future claustrotopias. Called culture, observing the traditions. You don't know what it is. You don't understand it. Time goes by. Are you someone? Living inside your head gives this sense of unreality, though it's possibly more real than reality, and not less. (The argument usually claims that deviation from practical reality, to shake hands with memories from thirty years ago embodied in their people, is The teacher told you to write in complete sentences though. Those times are gone. Your thoughts don't necessarily lead anywhere. Unless you lead them. As soon as you see where they're headed you avoid them like destiny. You only know that one breath follows another. Want to know. General anaesthesia surprises you. Death is supposed to tell you stories, no? That story must be _life_. When you walk in the woods, you follow what is most probable a path; you write like that; it can be misunderstood at every turn if the mind is put to task; on the other hand it's following a path, not a highway; use the poetical sense, don't complete sentences. don't don't the poe-noetical, a thought for your penny scattered throughout, the read thread, the trodden path, stepwhy's. capsules, time capsules. You didn't go out of the car. Afraid of the ghosts. They will tell you that _you_ are the ghost, and that scares you. you don't want to be turned into one. nobody. though you think with the earth-bound life led, it would be unavoidable... unless they pick up the book and lead a double life - man and his soul. then you can always jump. though, doesn't the gap always widen when attended to? leap into the void. There are many books around, all which will leave you at their sentences. You thought of her yesterday (as a matter of fact). The tent put up in the woods. Grounded, or lead astray into things. Does every memory contain? Or is it just the now? Everything is forgiven and forgotten, a general anaesthesia. And who cares? Life is now. The moments that don't, and sentences without endings, words not properly applied, thoughts not properly defined. It's hard to comprehend the reality of reality. Without the misleading tent we put up, and a bubble text. You are a writer who write words. That's your invisibility-button. A glass of water. 'Glass' has two s's, which also has two s's, and so on. Transparency doesn't end, you just tilt the problem-axis over, x becomes y, and infinity turns into a feature instead of a threat. The long, sole, invisible dimension. The flat tent expands into three, but contracted to one it disappears completely into memory. Couldn't the ants be a little more focused? Why don't they go to that thing over there and investigate it, instead of just roaming about aimlessly? Or they could visit each other and gossip about the queen or just exchange information, what's wrong with that? The queen would understand. Otherwise why bother? Is it nice to be an ant? I don't think they complain about it. Neither do we. The ones who _do_ just disappear, because there's only one anthill. There's no anti-anthill, I mean. What more is there than existence? But if you don't like it you can always write about it and feel better. Ants don't have it this easy (as far as I know). Culture is our anthill, it keeps you from disappearing. But then culture isn't culture, or you would disappear. What we call culture is just something that doesn't really come together as one piece or anything at all. That's why it remains, and why we do. Something happened in 78 When I look at an ant I have to laugh because what is it? I don't know if I laugh at myself or at the ant, or at life in general. We feel we need to know what life is, but then looking at an ant you have to laugh, because what is life? And death of course, the soul and spirit, the after-life with its after-shave. The ant is always busy, here I am sitting on my butt "writing". "They're just feeding their brains", the ants say about us, "they're no better than us, actually a bit worse since they're so mesmerized by it, it's like a drug to them, the sugar thing, only worse because they're supposed to be the top dogs but are simple junkies without knowing it. The can know, but the knowledge also turns to sugar, immediately, everything is sugar to them. For us, only sugar is sugar, but for them everything is sugar, so they have it harder."
