[NetBehaviour] Exercising the Rites of Cura Saz

Exercising the Rites of Cura Saz

Pushing at my saz limits with (argon) simple scale/melody with
(argonblue) additional bluescale work.

So choppy!

It's as iff... f(holiday-spirit)^Aleph^Aleph got the better of me.
Then watching four-man bobsled banging about on the track - still
gets to the bottom of things.
The breaks/brakes are painful reminders of imminent recalculation.
And the Monument? Your guess is better than mine; I live too close
to recalculate.

(Cura saz recalibrated, modified, set up by Amir Vahab.)
( Saw sax - say 'saz'! )

Subject: is every person a network and a village?


"I believe that every person is a village, with a lot of feuds and sometimes a 
party."

 “I have come to the end of this apologia for the novel as a vast net.  Someone 
might object that the more the work tends toward the multiplication of 
possibilities, the further it departs from that unicum which is the self of the 
writer, his inner sincerity and the discovery of his own truth.  But I would 
answer: Who are we, who is each one of us, if not a combinatoria of 
experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined?"

[NetBehaviour] Negotiating Space in Culture and Technology. Interview with Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett.

[marc.garrett via NetBehaviour]

Negotiating Space in Culture and Technology. Interview with Ruth Catlow and 
Marc Garrett.

Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett are the co-founders of furtherfield, an artist-led 
organisation and community platform located in Finsbury Park, North London. 
Furtherfield asks critical questions about art and technology, and addresses 
today’s important questions through exhibitions, labs and debates across many 
platforms and spaces.

http://creatingcommons.zhdk.ch/negotiating-space-in-culture-and-technology/

In this interview, Ruth and Marc look back on how they started from an online 
community and grew into a multidimensional space for different practices in and 
through technologies and art culture. They highlight the importance of 
communities and public space, and how they reflect their concerns in their 
curatorial practice in today’s techno-political situation. They explain how 
furtherfield is working as a community-driven institution, how formats and 
subjects are developed, how they position themselves in the cultural landscape, 
and how they manage to get funding. Alongside these insights into the inner 
life of furtherfield they provide a detailed discussion about the importance of 
data as a commons, how this discussion is related to historical events, and 
what an informed, critical mindset could achieve for the future of us all.

As well as the video interview, there is also a text transcript that can be 
downloaded.

Interview conducted by Cornelia Sollfrank, September 15, 2018, HeK (House of 
Electronic Arts Basel).___
