[NetBehaviour] About hosting Networking the Unseen exhibition at Furtherfield

Sat Jun 25 12:10:22 CEST 2016

Hello Gretta,

<Medieval paced response>

Thanks for these https://vimeo.com/user10846257/videos
The flavour here is consistent with the elements of Yama.

I think that one or two G+ Hangout meetings over the next months would 
be wonderful- to discuss the ideas and issues raised by the work in the 
exhibition.

A recent survey of Furtherfield audiences/participants (we will be 
coming for you soon NBers;) has shown an appetite for more debate and 
conversation.

I think it would provide a wonderful opportunity to think about 
collaboration across national borders and cultural identities

....profoundly pertinent to us European Brits - who now feel like 
foreigners in our own land : (

>> Here is a photo by Michael Erglis of the Yama installation at

>> On Saturday Gretta led a tour of the exhibition. Then Warlpiri 
>> educator Steve Jampijimpa Patrick talked about the work in the 
>> context of the five pillars of Warlpiri culture. You can watch the 
>> short video that he showed here on Youtube 
>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFZq7AduGrc

>> The discussion of "so called technology" pursued questions of: 
>> cultural continuity, churn and loss; in contrast with stories said to

>> opportunities and threats of openness and sharing in amongst the 
>> global flows of capital in the network age.
>>
>> I noticed as Jampijimpa drew in the sand, how his drawing resonated

>> Furtherfield for the last 20 years, our understanding of the 
>> importance of connectedness and especially our DIWO campaign.

>> I cannot properly convey the full impact that these meetings and 
>> events are having on me and the other people who have attended. It is 
>> unfolding slowly, in unexpected ways. (/Yama/, is a Warlpiri word 
>> translates as 'reflection'- sky to land, inward to outward, shadow 
>> falling from object across another object). I will write more with 
>> more reflections as they arise and as I talk to others.
>>
>> I urge you to see the exhibition if you can. And to talk to Gretta.
>> We'll post images from the exhibition very soon.

>> Cheers
