Re: [NetBehaviour] london paintings
HI Marcand thanks so much, not only for looking, but for pointing out which ones you like best! much appreciated!I have my favourites too, but I like their nature as a series, I feel the images 'support' each other...and it also allows me to take some risks.. to gamble on some things working (or not)... Once again thanks for looking!Michael On Wednesday, March 27, 2019, 3:34:13 PM GMT, marc.garrett via NetBehaviour wrote: Hi Michael, These are my faves - but i think the others would grow on me ;-) https://www.flickr.com/photos/szpako/40616772381/in/album-72157691966059491/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/szpako/42082428755/in/album-72157691966059491/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/szpako/44246786305/in/album-72157691966059491/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/szpako/31606310007/in/album-72157691966059491/ it's nice to see a whole collection.

[NetBehaviour] The Structure of Reality, 1976-77
The Structure of Reality, 1976-77 http://www.alansondheim.org/SoR.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/StructureofReality.pdf This is the main theoretical work I wrote in the 1970s. I was reading a lot of Wittgenstein and the philosophy of mathematics; I met Hans Freudenthal and Marvin Minsky, was part of a systems group at Brown, read a lot of phenomenology as well, and was fascinated by category theory, which I didn't really understand. I could do some programming in Pascal and Basic, including early works in electronic literature. I taught at Hartford Art School, RISD, University of California at Irvine, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, etc. I was in the Paris Biennale, and Kathy Acker and I made a tape which was shown at the Whitney and Yale. I didn't really understand a lot of the math I was trying to work with, but I felt the ontology of the world was ultimately networked and networking, in other words, non-materialist. NSCAD published my Structure of Reality in 1976 (I think through David Askevold and Ian Murray); then it was reissued by Williams College through Lauren Ewing in 1977. These were bound xeroxes. I used precursors of the text in the Acker tape. Recently I was asked for a copy of the book - someone is using it in a study of her work. Azure and I made a copy of it. I still reference the material in it, although there are serious errors throughout. I have only one copy of the book left, hence the xerox. It's a large pdf - about 169 megabytes, but it's easy to download or peruse online. The beginning's difficult, but there's a lot of literary material in it as well. (There's a transcription of a talk I gave on it at NSCAD in Artists Talk: 1969-1977 by Paul Greenhalgh, Peggy Gale, et al.) Do take a look; you can ignore the diagrams and math; the gen- eral direction should be fairly clear - fundamental operations which characterize the real; a tripartite phenomenological scheme; etc. Hope it brings a little pleasure and perhaps much confusion (at least as much as it did me at the time). ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
