I was about to nominate Rob (and his links series) for this year's Year
Round Father Christmas of Netbehaviour- a combo of timely, informative
and pleasurable resources- each collection hangs together with
mysterious and joyous coherence.
Then I thought of all the other sparkly wonders that have dropped into
my inbox from all you others NBers
These are some of the things I have particularly loved in NB this year
* invitations to live networked performances: music, cyberformance,
collaborative (bodily and avatar) performance
* collaborations and streams of drawings, paintings, videos, sound:
everyday, visceral, playful, strange, brain-shape-shifting, machinic
* steady attention and inventive responses to the many upheavals in
the wider world
* people new to NB finding wayz to introduce themselves, their
practices and join the conversation
* tributes and memorials to the passing of many fine, strange and
imaginative people
* torrents of (sometimes unprocessable) practice and theory springing
up and washing all over the place
* all the conversations: thoughtful, grouchy, bitter, funny, informed,
informing, theoretical, flippant, just-plain-wrong, brutal,
embarrassing and illuminating.
Thanks and warm festive fuzzies to you all.
