Hi Michael, Karen, Ruth & all, I am intrigued how this opening up of one's email for others to use will develop.
Of course, other than Mandiberg there has been a few other characters and avatars - using someone else's identity. But, on emails lists we have specific individuals such as 'Kadinsky' who used to exist mainly on the Rhizome mailing list a few years ago. Also, there has been bots/avatars such as 'NN and Integer' who regularly frequented the Syndicate mailing list. I think these 2 'invented' identities were made by the same individual or group. I remember the battles that used to happen on the Syndicate list in response to these 2 individuals, here's an example of Integer's noise in the Syndicate list's archive - http://sympa.anart.no/sympa/arc/syndicate/2003-02/ Typical text used by Integer was like this "upz!de doun paralela - dopam!n !nundaz!e -> zk!tzofren!a" Anyway, Karen - I would like to ask - What influences you to make such a decision to let others use your email, and become part of you? wishing you well. marc > I'm sure in practice there are lots of differences -and I too would be interested to know more about it- but this has something, thematically at least, in common with a project Michael Mandiberg did some time ago: > > http://turbulence.org/Works/guide/ > > michael > > --- On Sun, 7/11/10, Ruth Catlow <ruth.cat...@furtherfield.org> wrote: > > > From: Ruth Catlow <ruth.cat...@furtherfield.org> > Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] Invitation to join me > To: "NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity" <netbehaviour@netbehaviour.org> > Date: Sunday, July 11, 2010, 12:21 PM > > Hi Karen, > > What an intriguing idea brimming with subversive potential; ) > I would like to join you. > > But before I "speak and act as you" I would like to "speak to you" to find out more about you and why you have decided to to do this. > > How would you feel about a short interview here in the Netbehaviour list? > > very best things > Ruth > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: karen blissett <karen.bliss...@googlemail.com> > Reply-To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <netbehaviour@netbehaviour.org> > To: netbehaviour@netbehaviour.org > Subject: [NetBehaviour] Invitation to join me > Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:43:24 +0100 > > Dear Friends. > > Please join me. > > Literally. > > I want to become more open and free, with a more distributed identity. > > So if you would like to take a break from yourself and speak and act as me instead, please drop me a personal email. > > If I trust you I will send you my password and you can start expressing me. > > Can't wait! > > Karen Blissett > > -- > Open, Free, Public and Distributed at last. > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour > > > -----Inline Attachment Follows----- > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour > > > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
