Ark/Hive What I've learned, working on an ark/hive of my work: http://www.alansondheim.org/arkhive1.png http://www.alansondheim.org/arkhive.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/arkhive2.png My life has been incredibly complicated, living all over the place, never settling down until I landed in Brooklyn, and then that gone after 24 years. Everything ruptured, out of place, site of ill dreams - an absurd list, attentioned deficit, broken into pieces - Working in numerous media ranging from normative literatures to codework to programming; audio from reel-to-reel to cassette tapes, from tapes to digital media, from records to cd to online ark/hiving; video from reel to reel to 8mm and high8 and dv and vhs and 3/4" and beta cassettes to mp4s mov and avis and DVDs and YouTube; film from 8mm to 16mm to double 8mm to super8mm to to 35mm with cameras ranging from minoltas to bolexes to optical stripe auricons to magnetic stripe auricons; computers ranging from zaurex hand-held linux systems through all the dos and windows and any number of linux systems from pocket linuxes through very early redhat to current systems; virtual worlds from text-based moos and muds and lpmuds and adventure through thepalace and various iterations of second life, opensim, and macgrid; radio pieces from shortwave through very low frequency and from cb radio through wimhurst generator broadcasting; microscopy from optical through a cambridge scanning electron stereoscan microscope; sculptural work from scanning electron microscope cutting through four-dimensional objects recreated with computers and/or string through ceramic work, collections of objects, installations involving tents and active portable wwii phones, coordinated crystal radios, 3d standard and experimental printing; print from monoprints through hand-made magazines and guest editing magazines and books, through xerox, mimeography, books, magazine articles, pamphlets, posters, online blogs and various websites; programming work with mathematica and other earlier mathematics programs, qbasic, visual basic, basic, perl, awk, emacs, and linux command-line; performances ranging from collaborations with dancers through choreography, experimental theater, and improvised talks; and sound or music works, including audio cassettes, records, cds, digital online and offline files, working with numerous non- western and western instruments, early collaborative design and construction of an analog synthesizer and peripherals, cave work involving recording with contact microphones and a vibration meter, outdoor recording with numerous wind instruments, mostly in bad weather, including hurricanes; various such as recording beneath a small tornado; recording very low frequency radio hot- spots across the u.s.; filming a non-stop solo 26 hour drive from dallas to los angeles; augmented reality collaborations; video microscopy of pond-life; collaborating on a cd-rom of code-work techniques; numerous works dealing with sexual and body issues; printed works for stand-alone exhibitions and various cds, book, and record covers; altered motion-capture equipment for numerous performances and experiments, including exporting mocap files into virtual worlds; film-based photography using 35mm and larger format cameras, as well as minox, also involving fast darkroom techniques; documentation in various formats of landscapes, fungi, slime-molds, underground fires, ice breakup and other phenomena, formats, and media. And having lived and/or worked in Kington, PA; Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jerusalem, Atlanta, Hartford; Hobart, Tasmania; Miami, Providence, Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Geneve, Los Angeles, Dallas; Owego, NY; Ashville; Far Hills, New Jersey; Sydney, NS; Copenhagen, Paris, Las Cruces, Chicago; Fukuoka, Japan; Santa Ana, CA; London; Casco and Acadia, ME; Someville, MA; Irving, CA; forget the rest. But too many striations, of little interest except to me - for example issues of negation and operators of negation criss- cross everywhere in my work; issues of code, body, driving, again everywhere. The result is an image of an empty vessel - nothing to see, hear, read, write, experience. It disappears as soon as it's formed; the ark/hive is nothing more than debris... +++ ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
