broken thought / tests http://www.alansondheim.org/tests2.jpg https://youtu.be/67zQwKYIHIU http://www.alansondheim.org/tests1.jpg earlier today I was reading a text by Derrida and it got me to thinking that what I wanted to say is that my life is not lived according to my work and my work is not lived according to my life and it was in the form of an aphorism. I later went out and the aphorism was completely forgot. I have no idea at this point how well it sounded what it might have looked like what it might have appeared like. I kept thinking about Karl Kraus - and misogyny and then on the other hand to Derrida's eloquence in the book which I've been reading on post Theory. so I'm stuck there as it were with a aphorism stuck in my throat that just won't come out right - something terse and the terser it is the more it opens up space on the other side of things. there's a kind of resonance in the language and almost the same way that electronic interference operates or the image of waves in this case which produces a whole plethora of attributes, possible readings. the idea is that work or writing or text or any sort of cultural production need not be aligned with one's biographical details or with one's state of mind or with One's history or even with the way one wants to live one's life. In other words there are distinctions to be made between the living of Life, The Living of one's life, and the writing about the world in General. So you can go in One Direction and the other direction and they need not be contradictory; on one hand one is acting out a text mentally as one proceeds through it or through any cultural production but on the other one is going to ring lived experience and trying to do the best one can to cope with the world. These can be wildly disparate and there's no way they should reflect each other. No matter what we think the idea of an ethical code of laws or even loose code of behavior something that is written down, something that in here's to the act of writing itself need not in any way reflect one's being in the world or the way that the life world adjusts or readjusts itself and the organisms within it. what I think here is sharp but what comes out through verbal dictation is loose almost Rambling as if numerous paths are coming out in a dialog that appears as a kind of deeper dialectic between voice response, voice and coding, and what one is thinking, and the saying out loud to a world with absent human listeners. This Gap in a sense is a similar Gap to that between theory on the one hand, and work on the same hand and what I've said above about the way one behaves or realizes in the world. there two very different things and in fact both of them aren't things but multiplicities and instead of tethered, multiplicities all over the place. with Azure Carter ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Hi Annie & Alan, A Warm thanks for your response to you both - and yes, Frankenstein has always fascinated me, but especially Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, her parents, and the politics of the time . Which is why I have been writing certain essays written and getting shows together on the theme. Wishing you well. marc Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Sunday, 28 October 2018 14:25, Alan Sondheim wrote: > Congratulations on this!

Congratulations on this! I wish I was there (well, 'were there'?); Frankenstein has always been one of my favorite books - and I'm fascinated by The Last Man as well etc. - Wonderful!

[NetBehaviour] University of Basel | Lecture series 'Frankenstein' in the 21st Century | Marc Garrett (University of London)
Hi all, If you are in Basel on Oct 31st come along & say hello... Lecture series 'Frankenstein' in the 21st Century | Marc Garrett (University of London) At University of Basel. Lecture series 'Frankenstein' in the 21st Century. By Marc Garrett (University of London). Lecture from 6.15 - 8pm October 31st 2018. University of Basel. Department of Languages and Literatures. http://bit.ly/2SofzC5 Marc Garrett's presentation is a contemporary take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and asks us to reconsider her warning, that scientific imagining and all technologies have unintended and dramatic consequences for the world. It also invites us to ask the same about the arts and human imagination. Shelley’s classic, gothic horror and science fiction novel, has inspired millions since it was written 200 years ago in 1816, and then published anonymously in London in 1818. It offers a lens through which to look at the practices of arts and sciences today and how they shape society’s relationship with technology. The presentation considers the roles of our arts and science traditions and examines these issues as part of everyday life; as they are played out in the anthropocene, climate change, gender politics, ethics, governance, surveillance, posthumanism, transhumanism, hacking, biohacking, colonialism, post-colonialism, neoliberalism, biopolitics and accelerationism. Dr. Frankenstein plays the role of the Promethean scientist, a creative genius, and also a narcissist tangled up in his own individual desires, exploiting others in an irresponsible and abusive drive to control nature. But, who is the real monster? Marc Garrett is co-director and co-founder, with artist Ruth Catlow of the arts collective Furtherfield (a gallery and a Commons lab, both situated in the park, in Finsbury Park, London), that began on the Internet in 96. He has curated over 50 contemporary Media Arts exhibitions and projects, both nationally and internationally. He is the main editor of the reviews, articles and interviews on the Furtherfield website and has written book chapters and articles about art, technology and social change, most recently in Artists Re:Thinking the Blockchain (Torque Editions and Furtherfield, 2017, ed. with Ruth Catlow, Nathan Jones, and Sam Skinner).
