[NetBehaviour] going silent

Wed Jun 9 18:42:19 CEST 2021

Alan, as always much love and thoughts towards you and the family.

Please continue to post work here. I always welcome your projects that come
through the list. They inevitably challenge me to think about my own
creativity, the wider possibilities of what being digital might mean (as
publication method and artistic medium in varying measures). Your work
always encourages me to think about my relationship to Buddhism etc through
the ongoing development of what I laughingly call my creative practice,
because of your vast knowledge on those subjects.

As for the list itself ? Are we lucky to have various creative people on
the list? Have you spent years with no interaction with creative people
outside of reading magazines? Have you ever visited galleries (not
openings, just galleries, as a ‘normal’ member of the public) and felt an
outsider? For me, it’s an absolute heartfelt privilege to have space to
interact with creative people who have such expansive, challenging ideas
that make me reach for books, scratch my head, stare in amazement that a
human brain can think those things. Everyone on this list is interesting
and welcome in my intellectual /digital life and someone who i would have
been desperate to speak to in my 20s, as a labourer on building sites,
being the oddball sitting reading Modern Painters magazine (don’t judge me,
they were different times!)

We’re all the creative oddballs here, until the accountants take over the
list. More womxn, more young people, more tenured academics (someone has to
love ‘em!), more wild ideas that take years for some of us to grasp. A few
more splashes of disagreement over the ethical, environmental impacts of
work, more nervous ’is this art or not, please!’ posts from the seats at
the back. More space for individuals to realise who they really are or want
to be.

More. More. More.

But I’m definitely not up for being a moderator. They’re the worst! :-)

Love
Mark
