From maxnmherman at hotmail.com Thu Aug 1 17:06:26 2024 From: maxnmherman at hotmail.com (Max Herman) Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2024 15:06:26 +0000 Subject: [NetBehaviour] Early post for August about t-shirts for the Louvre Message-ID: +++ One might not immediately recognize the political relevance of Leonardo da Vinci for the century of climate change, accelerated technology, and various forms of social disruption. However, he saw our situation today pretty clearly in advance and designed his works in accordance with exactly the most crippling dilemmas we face. You might think of this as information engineering on a historical timeline, or just imaginative foresight, or luck. Either way, he provided solutions we very much need to look at, but he had to camouflage them a little due to censorship so as yet we still do not see them aright. What is not in question is that on 31 July 2024 the Speaker of the US House of Representatives declared that his religion was being attacked by a carnivalesque TV entertainment which improperly, in his opinion, associated a painting by Leonardo da Vinci -- the Last Supper -- with nonbinary gender identity and the ancient Greek deity of wine, festivity, and theatre. Whether the creator of the entertainment did or did not intentionally reference the Leonardo painting may never be known, but we do know what the Speaker spoke. Without doubt a high percentage of the planet's population today, despite being acquainted with several images created by Leonardo and their names, severely misunderstands their author and his works of art and science. Therefore it makes sense that award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns chose this misunderstood and often misappropriated figure as his first non-US biographical subject for his next film, due out in November. Leonardo relates to American history, because he relates to all history -- especially modern history -- according to the press release, and relates to American political history because he relates to art, science, and all forms of freedom. (See link below.) For my own part, to assist in some small way this process of new and renewed understanding, I have created some t-shirts that say "Je m'appelle Esperienza. -- La Joconde" and was going to try to wear one to the Louvre during the Olympics but couldn't get it scheduled. Therefore if anyone is in Paris or knows someone who will be during the games I'll be happy to express ship a shirt or shirts free. They are dark blue with white lettering, 100% cotton, S/M/L/XL. No documentation or photos are required, the ask is just to wear the shirt to the Louvre, but if anything interesting happens I'd be happy to see or hear about it. I can send a photo of the shirt on request. T-shirts aside it's hard to imagine a more illustrative case for the need for t-shirts when far-right propaganda outlets are using a demagogic defense of Leonardo as a vehicle for their politics of hate, fear, division, kleptocracy, and regress. They couldn't be more distant from or contrary to the ideals Leonardo stood for and worked his whole life to help us see even five centuries later. Seeing this better, and understanding it, may be the key fever-break we need to achieve a more well and sustainable early Anthropocene century. The starting point is to address the famous untitled portrait as Experience, and go from there. https://www.pbs.org/about/about-pbs/blogs/news/leonardo-da-vinci-a-new-film-from-ken-burns-to-air-on-pbs-november-18-and-19-2024/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVnVvQE7NmU (Ken Burns interview with Walter Isaacson) +++ (feel free to forward) From sondheim at panix.com Sat Aug 3 08:00:54 2024 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2024 02:00:54 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] Another Day Message-ID: <8d6da1bc-8a22-8169-672d-9f1f26fa0ac8@panix.com> Another Day https://youtu.be/KP_lJrk2xMg video Carter, voice, song, Sondheim, guitar, video, text it's been a long day and i am waiting for the morning morning's minion coming with full discussion roustabouts, and graceful words, falling through the negative of the obtusive energies and no, know this is not chat gpt or any such, the worlds emissions from the layabouts of runnels down to the canals existing long before humans run the earth, ran through the earth, i nod myself to sleep, there is a point to this within the music within the video within the tilting of the video lilting of the music, our life now the granulation of a grand infiltration and sintered from sources too numerous in a psycho-physical way to carry histories farther than they are abandoned at one end, charred at the other / within the apocalyptic, to weight is to wait for edge phenomena announcing the remnants of the psychology of attention and what might have used to be, the overwhelming rendering of the _wait a minute,_ as if there were any other, that other again, that existential Other already considered to the history of middle-late gpt productions to no one's benefit, no one's beneficiary - From corey at toegristle.com Sun Aug 4 00:43:18 2024 From: corey at toegristle.com (Corey Eiseman) Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2024 18:43:18 -0400 Subject: [NetBehaviour] toegristle #409 Message-ID: Perpetual Canvas No.409 https://toegristle.com/?id=409 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

S/He came to unveil the mysteries of the sky through their latest invention?a cloud-shaping device. Now s/he understands all the absurdity and profundity of life. Existance is a dance of creation and destruction, an eternal cycle of chaos and order, where the grotesque and the surreal become truth. S/He surrenders to the flow, their consciousness dissolving into the infinite expanse of the sky. The world above splits open, revealing a gaping maw of infinite darkness. Cloud faces scream silently. Overwhelmed by the scene, their mind grapples with existential questions. Then the sky becomes a swirling maelstrom of colors and shapes, a living, breathing entity. Stars pulse with malevolent energy, their twisted forms casting eerie, shifting shadows. Constellations writhe and dance, their patterns constantly changing, as if the very heavens are alive and in flux. In this spectacle, a strange sense of belonging emerges. The chaos and absurdity resonate with something deep within, a primal connection to the cosmic forces that govern the universe. Now s/he is both a participant and an observer, caught in the ebb and flow of the celestial dance. The energy is almost unbearable. The air crackles with electricity, the ground vibrates with a low, resonant hum. S/He feels their consciousness expanding, merging with the cosmic forces at play. S/He is no longer just an individual but a part of something much larger, a single thread in the vast tapestry of existence. -- http://thevisitors.jeron.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Even in the city, there can be birdsong, and even in the countryside, aircraft can be heard. Field recording is a space-time machine, and we can listen back later and in different places and be transported back to the original environment. Listening in a different context can surprise us with sounds we didn?t notice before but were always present. Recording nature is a way to document the changing world; the climate catastrophe means her songs may be very different in the future. Live Sound Performance: ?Medial Dark Ages is a piece that uses field recordings, DIY electromagnetic detectors, and open-source electronic instruments. I have worked with bats, crickets, and sheep recordings in this composition. I have been experimenting with Bat5 Digital Bat Detector for the bats, which amplifies and filters the bat?s signals. The composition adheres to a postmaterialist perspective on technology, such as in James Bridle ? New Dark Ages ? and intends to fit music technology in the context of critical thinking and media archaeology theory.? Laura Netz (Barcelona, 1982).

The skies, once vibrant and full of life, are now choked with pollutants. The sun?s light, filtered through layers of toxic haze, casts an eerie, sickly glow over the twisted landscape. A lush forest has morphed into something unrecognizable?a nightmare carved out of ecological despair. A group of visitors ventures into this desolate terrain, their suits the only barrier between them and the hostile environment. The silence is oppressive, a suffocating reminder of nature?s lost vitality. Every step they take echoes, amplifying the eerie stillness. There are no birds, no rustling leaves?only the haunting sound of the toxic wind. As they venture deeper into the zone, the air grows thicker, laden with the scent of decay and chemicals. The trees, once tall and proud, have transformed into grotesque caricatures of themselves. Their branches, now twisted and gnarled, reach out like skeletal fingers, grasping for something that is no longer there. Their leaves, if they can still be called that, are shriveled and blackened, clinging to life in a world that has none left to offer. The silence is broken only by the occasional creak of a dying tree or the faint rustle of something unseen moving through the underbrush. Nature?s voice, once a symphony of life, has become a mournful dirge. The wind whispers tales of sorrow and loss, carrying with it the toxic remnants of a world that has been pushed too far. -- http://thevisitors.jeron.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That thing of Hoffman. And even though we had imagined a fundamental level, something far outside our operating level as conscious beings striding boldly across the tundra, as we perceive it, that is a level outside our human paradigm, even though we yearned for that knowledge, we were, quite frankly, as my good friend Isabel used to say, existing in such a different plane of existence, that any theory, no matter how bizarre, was as good as any other. Quite so, replied B. Anyway, the custard is ready now. Do you like cream, custard, or ice cream on your crumble? It's cherry by the way. Leonardo peered over his spectacles at the great clay dish with its superlative contents of golden crumbs and sizzling fruit oozing sugary sap. Everything please, he chimed and pulled up his chair to the table, tucking his napkin into his shirt like a bib and picking up his great pewter spoon. These cherries might as well be the fundamental level as far as I'm concerned! And with that they both pitched in like the happy troglodytes they seemed, on one level, to be.

As the Time Fold unfurls, it weaves the very fabric of reality itself. This artistic pinnacle takes its majestic place at the heart of the gallery. Critics and enthusiasts alike are left both bewildered and captivated, standing before an enigmatic abyss that lies dormant within this creation. It captures the unimaginable through its sheer presence, nestled in a meticulously designed exhibition space, shrouded in darkness and gently bathed in a soft, enigmatic glow of light, veiling the artwork in a mesmerizing mystery. The Time Fold is a dimensionless structure, its surface enveloped by impenetrable darkness. Upon closer inspection, peculiar details emerge. Light reflections on metallic elements create a mesmerizing luminescence that stands out like stars in a distant galaxy against the inky backdrop. Delicate cracks and fractures reveal themselves, endowing it with a fragile beauty. At its core lies a vortex, seemingly devouring itself, forming an irresistible gravitational pull within this enigmatic singularity. The Time Fold is a gateway to another realm of comprehension, a manifestation of dark beauty concealed in the depths of emptiness. It embodies the essence of infinity, a flowing cascade of possibilities. Within the Time Fold, boundaries are but transient illusions, as it incorporates an eternal continuum, a moment that never truly ends. The Time Fold is cocooned in a gentle sonic tapestry, emanating from an ethereal source. Those who approach the Time Fold are greeted by an otherworldly song ? the universe contemplating its own existence, enchanted by its own beauty. ? http://thevisitors.jeron.org/ @thevisitors2020 #paper #scifi #sculpture #interstellarcene #situation #total #art #action -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What will happen to spaces? I don't know what will happen to huge volumes of empty space and clouds and future eclipses. Nothing, everything is just nothing. Everything is folding into nothing. Everything is collapsing into nothing. And I'm just basically surrounded with my arms around my body. Squeezing harder and harder trying to get my life to return to me. Trying to get my limbs to return to me. My breath to return to me. My mind to return to me trying to get the chance to walk through Kingston Pennsylvania through Philadelphia through Rome. Trying to get to walk through. Los Angeles to walk throughh San Francisco. Trying to get to walk through Ohio to stop with Azure at those places across country that we went to so many, many times and the vistas. And the city's coming up in the night from a distance like stars in a distance that takes that takes you an hour to approach because they are so far away, and the road is so distant and straight and so flat in the sky is so bright. At night with stars and with a moon illuminating everything. And you can just about hear the Coyote on the side of the road and you're walking and walking to Kingston Pennsylvania Down to the fossil beds with a Pennsylvania and era carbon differs firms, the tree ferns are piled up on top of each other and so many Dead dead Trees there. And dead trees upon dead trees. Then phones and tree firms and what look like palms. Butdarn't and I look at myself and gonna see the sands of time running out at high-speed, as if I could swallow them as if grit would grind my teeth down and keep me alive for one more day and every day with this disease I'm cowering. I just want. One more day and I want one more day. One more day if I can't continue now. I can't continue this anymore. I can't continue this anymore. I'm stopping now. I'm going to stop. I'm slowing stop. I'm coming to an end. I'm slowing up and slowing up and stopping. I'm crawling. It's just stopping now. Just stopping stopping now stopping. __ From sondheim at panix.com Tue Aug 27 08:28:28 2024 From: sondheim at panix.com (Alan Sondheim) Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2024 02:28:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [NetBehaviour] Where to Begin Message-ID: <6d1bb8b1-d302-7edc-adaa-36df1bb077ba@panix.com> Where to Begin https://youtu.be/r8APmSPz_Qg video This is always the truth and this is always the only truth period They always do because because they always can get away with it period they always can get away with it and take it with them period they can take it with them and put it anywhere they want period they can hide it in the backyard period they can hide it in their pocket period they take it with them period we don't know, wait a minute.

We have ready a fake tech bus, data centers, lithium and turbo-capitalist ruins, if you couldn't come to the first one, second chance, always maybe the last chance. Internet Tour returns to the Bay Area as part of the Berkeley Center for New Media's 20th year anniversary, with the Arts Research Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UC Berkeley. Photos last edition: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAYwzD *Internet Tour. San Francisco Bay Area* Berkeley, Emeryville, and Oakland. 14 Oct 2024 An in-person journey through the physical Internet infrastructure, a tourist route of non-touristic places. with Alex Saum-Pascual, Digital Artist, Poet, and Associate Professor of Contemporary Spanish Literature and New Media, University of California, Berkeley; Mario Santamar?a, Visual Artist and Lecturer, BAU University, Barcelona; Jill Miller, Visual Artist and Assistant Professor, Department of Art Practice, University of California, Berkeley; Asma Kazmi, Research-Based Artist and Associate Professor, Department of Art Practice, University of California, Berkeley; The Indigenous Poetics Lab, Arts Research Center, University of California, Berkeley Like any other digital technology, or the Internet itself, the current explosion of AI research and applications relies on their conceptualization as immaterial technologies. The idea of clean, ethereal networks whose data is stored in a bodiless Cloud is nothing but a fallacy that hides thousands of miles of fiber optic cables, innumerable data centers, and increasing global energy consumption. The Internet that feeds and fuels AI is made up of a series of materials, constructions, and interventions that are hidden from the naked eye; from inconspicuous buildings in the centers of our cities, to urban beaches where the undersea cables that connect countries and continents are buried under the sand. ?Internet Tour? is an initiative by artist Mario Santamar?a, returning to the Bay Area for a second consecutive year, again in collaboration with Alex Saum-Pascual, and together with the Berkeley Center for New Media and the Arts Research Center. Together, we?ll embark on a collective exploration of the world?s preeminent technology hub, the San Francisco Bay Area, as we unearth its Internet infrastructure. Traveling by bus and on foot across Berkeley, Emeryville, and Oakland, this guided tour will also feature poetic and artistic experiences. We?ll visit the places through which our voices, images, cryptocurrencies, and future intelligences circulate as cursed matter that flows from the same wound. Where to go from there?

Since 2018 its tours have explored the hidden digital infrastructures in dozens of cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, Berlin, San Francisco or Paris among many others.

Against an awe-inspiring backdrop, excitement reaches its zenith. The unveiling of the Time Fold becomes a genuine spectacle, surpassing all expectations. As the audience gazes, entranced by the artwork, they are drawn into another dimension. The longer they stare, the deeper they get entangled in the labyrinth of the incomprehensible. The artwork itself seems like a mischievous cosmic jester, challenging their notions of meaning and order, and pushing the boundaries of perception. Laughter echoes through the gallery as visitors find themselves torn between hilarity and existential confusion. Some believe they have unlocked the universe's secrets amidst the chaos, while others feel as though they have stumbled into a parallel world where teapots pirouette and giraffes lose themselves in Shakespearean soliloquies. It's a moment of self-awareness that raises profound questions about the meaning of life and art. Critics grapple with the notion that absurdity may be the true essence of art. They contemplate whether meaning is an ingenious cosmic jest, a perpetual shadow they fervently pursue in their quest for answers lost in the cosmic void. Or perhaps, it's all an enigmatic joke waiting to be deciphered, a mirror reflecting their own absurdities and desires. -- http://thevisitors.jeron.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
