In relation to Holly Herndon, " “AI most likely won’t replace musicians
outright,” Herndon wrote. “Sentient AI is a fantasy that I think sometimes
distracts (often intentionally) from the political economic things that are
happening around the tech at the moment.” Herndon went on to discuss the
use of automated music systems to make stock music, how drum machines were
inspired by the work of great drummers, the role of automated tools in the
creation of music, the ethics of using an artificial “disembodied
representation of an artist,” and much more."

What disgusts me about this is that music is so much the presence of the
musician, performer; this is critical in, for example, Indian and Arabic
musics, Jazz, etc. This sounds so white/privileged to me, the position of
the listener paramount for example, the relegation of community to
reproduction, etc. It's a form of hip effacement. I realize I haven't read
everything HH's has written, but there's a fundamental difference between a
drum machine and a "great drummer" who came from community, breathes within
community, and contributes to community. Thinking for example of free jazz,
and the difficulties and explorations of the great players, the relation of
that music to the cry, the field holler, the blues, gospel musics, etc. -
and I keep returning to white white white white white and privilege.

Apologies, Alan, I shouldn't send this out, but watching too many musicians
suffer, some of the greatest homeless, and this comes across bad surface.

Cultural mausoleums display their atrocity absolution. The Artworld 
Acolytes remain eager sacrificial scapegoats. Artworld Bloodlines. 
Judicial Vengeance. Masks Aligned. Cycles Completed.


"Mongrel Reparations" is an e-book from Brad Brace, 2019-20 & 1980: 207 
sequenced pp; including depictions of artists Colette Urban and Robert 
Hamon in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada plus sudden digital printed carpet 
designs for the New Season. There are allusions to the installations of 
The MetaConstruct [see URL: http://bbrace.net/Metaconstruct.html] and 
maybe even to extended fascination with printed impressions.

[NetBehaviour] "Networked Conversations as Activism"

2019-11-27 Thread Helen Varley Jamieson
my article "Networked Convesrations as Activism" was recently published
in the latest issue of Interact, a portuguese online magazine for art,
culture & technology. the article discusses the use of cyberformance and
networked conversations to encourage critical thinking & civic
engagement. (it's in english).

https://interact.com.pt/30-31/networked-conversations-as-activism/

the theme of the issue (30-31) is art, activism and digital networks, &
it also includes a review (in english) of the cyberformance "Letters to
the Earth" which we did in april this year
(https://interact.com.pt/30-31/letters-to-the-earth/). there are lots of
other interesting-looking articles, if you can read portuguese.

[NetBehaviour] Children of Prometheus: Interview with artist Joana Moll.

2019-11-27 Thread marc.garrett via NetBehaviour
Children of Prometheus: Interview with artist Joana Moll.

Marc Garrett, curator of the current incarnation of the Children of Prometheus 
exhibition at the NeMe gallery, in Cyprus, interviews artist Joana Moll about 
the artwork, The Virtual Watchers, developed in collaboration with french 
anthropologist Cédric Parizot.

This project began in 2010, and looks critically at an online platform group, 
consisting of 203,633 volunteers surveilling the US-Mexico border, through a 
social media platform, such as Facebook. The community of The Virtual Watchers 
existed well before, and briefly, during, President Donald Trump’s signature 
promise in 2016 to build a wall at the US southern border, to stop more 
migrants crossing over onto US soil.

The project also touches on a wider online culture of attacks by bots and 
trolls from clandestine right-wing groups. The interview also explores Joana 
Moll’s interpretation of the Children of Prometheus exhibition, and briefly 
discusses other projects such as CO2GLE, which is an attempt to visualize how 
much carbon dioxide the company is emitting per second.
