Well, if you insist, so be it. Nevertheless in some cultural circles 'Liebhaber' is/was used as a synonym for 'Amateur' from French language i.e . Amant: someone who loves someone or something. And I intented to use it with that particular meaning in mind, maybe you took the word too literal. And I definitively did not meant lay, else I would have used that.

[NetBehaviour] A little something. . . (in memory, Michael Current)
Michael Current, co-founder of Cybermind and Fiction-of-Philosophy, which became Wryting-L, he died on Thursday or Friday -- Forwarded message -- Date: Wed, 20 Jul 1994 02:48:15 From: Michael Current To: ALAN SONDHEIM , sondh...@newschool.edu Subject: A little something. . . Resent-Date: Mon, 1 Jun 1998 21:10:47 -0400 (EDT) Resent-From: Alan***Sondheim Resent-To: sondh...@panix.com I wrote this while sitting at the cafe tonight, much to my surprise. Comments? Please be gentle, this is not something I am used to/ comfortable with. CARE OF THE BODY A stranger writes to me of the body. Of his concern for the body. Answering my e-mail, he tells me he is skeptical of e-mail, concerned about the detachment of thought and affect from the fleshbonesandblood. An ethical matter, a concern that we will abandon our environment, that our being-in-the-world will be replaced by being-in/being-with/being- one-with/becoming-with the machine. . . . Tracing back through endless stacks of mail headers, we find the stranger at his home, on a quiet street in a Midwestern college town, around midnight. He is reading my message, addressed not to him but to a multiple that includes him, that he intersects. There is soft jazz in the headphones from a beat-up old cassette deck as he reads, sitting, naked, in a chair in the corner of his bedroom, books on every side, the screen propped to the proper height by a pile of books and a couple of dusty old manuscripts. He is reading, deleting, saving, replying; _harvesting_ the list which grows, in fits and starts, but grows, in its non-organic medium. His hands move on the keyboard, and sometimes, unconsiously, during the reading of a long message, they slip from the keyboard to the pile of books to his left side, books long unread. Sometimes, unconsciously, he caresses the books. Sometimes, too, unconsciously, his hand slips from the stack of books into his lap, unto his semi-erect penis which, from time to time, unconsciously, he also caresses. . . . Reading my post he feels concern. He needs to speak to me. He wonders if I cannot see the irony of discussing embodiment by e-mail. He wonders what I look like, what I am doing at that very moment, and what would happen if we were to meet in the flesh. He must reach out to me, touch me with his concern. His hands linger in his lap as he pounders the words, stroking himself. Then they move to the keyboard and he begins to type, sharing with a disembodied stranger - who has not, in any case, addressed _him_ exactly - his concern about the abandonment of the body. Carefully, he composes clear, direct, generous sentences, filling them with more than he dare say or even acknowledge he is thinking about. We must not abandon the body. Finishing the message, he hits the key sequence that will send it off to me, feeling satisfied that he has pointed out the danger he sees, and something else, too, has been communicated, something that should not be brought to the level of thought. . . . He hits a switch and powers down the computer, stands and turns out the lights. A sudden breeze through the window makes him aware, for a moment, of his body, and he muses, absently, for a moment, at how he has managed to become erect during the hour he has spent carefully reading, deleting, filing, replying. . . . He crawls into bed, mind wandering from the pleasant sensation of cool sheets on his cock, balls, nipples to vague, tangential thoughts about my message, his reply - for a moment imagining himself speaking to me, his words convincing, compelling - and about Marx, Sartre, Immanuel Wallerstein. . .thoughts of pleasure and the lack of it rising and receeding in Kondratiev waves across the longue duree of his life. At some point he is asleep, dreaming. Fifteen, he is on the beach, with Wendy, his hands reaching and reaching for the clasp that holds on her bikini top. A couple of weeks ago, he is peering out the window for a second and then a third time at the smooth, well-formed chest of the tanned boy who is mowing the lawn, feeling all the different kinds of difference that seperate the boy's body from his own. Last night, he is in my bedroom, watching me read the reply he has written, pleased to see that I, too, am at home, alone, naked in my bedroom before my terminal reading the text of his desire. His mind is touching mine. Dreaming of me, he wakes to find his chest sticky, his hand on his slowly receeding erection. We wipes his hand on the sheets and turns over, feeling, for a moment, as he falls back into sleep - something like. . .concerned. "We must not abandon the body," he murmurs. . . . In the corner, the computer listens for his breathing to steady, then switches itself on and dials, disks spinning with anticipation. -- ---Michael J.

Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom. Alternative Knowledge Part 4. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=396 by Ellie Harrison From September 2008 - June 2010, Ellie Harrison undertook a Leverhulme Scholarship on the Master of Fine Art programme at Glasgow School of Art. The thesis published forms one of the major outcomes of her research during this period. This is part one of four weekly articles to be published on Furtherfield. How Can We Continue Making Art? - which questions whether there is a place for art in a world which is fast approaching environmental catastrophe, and Altermoderism: The Age of Stupid (http://tinyurl.com/32a3wr7) published on Furtherfield (26/8/09) - which uses Nicolas Bourriaud's Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain in 2009 as a paradigm for exploring the art world institution's lack of acknowledgement and action over climate change. Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom, addresses the ethical implications of continuing to choose the career of artist in the twenty-first century. It is a manifesto of sorts, written from the personal perspective of a young UK-based artist looking to identify worthwhile reasons for continuing down this 'self-interested' path, given that the future we are likely to face as a result of climate change, is so different from how we dreamt our careers might pan out whilst growing up under Thatcher and New Labour. It explores how we should aim to evolve our roles as artists, in light of this, and what form a new 'reconciled practice' might take. Part 1.

[NetBehaviour] 14 Revolution 2012 with Adrian Stimson.
14 Revolution 2012 with Adrian Stimson. Program dates: January 5, 2011 - February 22, 2011 Application deadline: August 31, 2010 For the ancient Maya, December 12, 2012 is the end of the “Long Count” calendar. Is this a possible end or a celebratory beginning? The Hopi prophecy speaks to the transition from the fourth world to the fifth world, “the great day of purification” by fire. The Mohawk seventh generation is here, marking the time to restore stewardship of the earth to indigenous people. Handsome Lake, an Iroquois visionary, prophesized four beings coming from four directions to punish humankind for their destruction of the universe. The Cree fortold of big winds, like the fingers of the creator coming down to purify the earth. Revolution 2012 will examine these and other familiar and lesser known prophetic ideas. It will also look at the role First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists play in interpreting and understanding our contemporary world in the light of prophesy. This residency will embody the importance of community in the building, shaping, and the fulfillment of artistic ideas. It will look at the interconnectedness of worldviews through critical analysis taking into account spiritual, physical, intellectual, and emotional being. As well as highlighting the tensions between secular and non-secular ideas, as well as personal and tribal knowledge that may or may not include prophetic traditions. How do First Nation, Métis, and Inuit artists view their own cultural prophesy? Does western religion, new age spirituality, and science positively influence or burden indigenous prophetic knowledge? Is this the “great mystery” and is it true that “we are the ones” who may experience this revolution? more info... http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=955 ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

James, It is non-visual art, so we can easily close our eyes for it. When we do not see or touch it, it ceased to exist in a material world The remnants are immaterial socially constructed imagination exercises for and by 'Liebhaber', German language for amateurs.

Seit vielen Jahren erproben sie urbane Ã?berlebensmethoden, die sie als künstlerische Aktivisten in partizipativen Aktionen und Workshops demonstrieren. Ihr widerständisches Engagement gegen die Gefährdung der Privatsphäre und der individuellen Freiheit durch gesellschaftliche Kontrollsysteme, praktizieren sie in unterschiedlichsten Medien: Bunting ist sowohl Begründer der Sport-Art Bewegung als auch des seit 1996 bestehenden Internetnetzwerks â??irational.orgâ??, ein internationales System für die Verbreitung â??irationalerâ? Informationen, Services und Produkte für Herumziehende und Heimatlose. Kennard bezeichnet sich selbst als â??force of natureâ? und entwickelt meist kämpferische Szenarien und Wettbewerbe, in denen elementaren Jagd- und Kampfwerkzeugen (Steine, Stöcke und Seile) sich in Gebrauchsskulpturen für den Libertin verwandeln. In der bblackboxx widmen sich die Künstler der Rolle von Mobiltelefonen und Möglichkeiten der Mobilität in den prekären Lebensumständen des Fluchtkontexts. Täglich ist der Ort Schauplatz eines Abenteuer-Training-Camps, in dem mit dem Handlungsspielraum von Mobiltelefonen experimentiert wird und die Gerätenutzung den persönlichen Bedürfnissen der TeilnehmerInnen angepasst werden soll. Der Luftraum wird dabei nicht ausgeschlossen. Ausserdem erlernen die teilnehmenden Mobiltelefone und ihre menschlichen BegleiterInnen alternative Fortbewegungsmethoden im Grenzgebiet, wie Baumklettern, Seilschwingen oder Flussüberquerungen, sowie spezielle Steinwurftechniken. Schliesslich werden Touristen gesucht, die sich in nächster Zeit in die Heimatländer von Asylsuchenden begeben (Nordafrika, Balkan, Sri Lanka etc.) und bereit wären, mit ihren Mobiltelefonen Bildmaterial aus der Heimat mitzubringen, das sie an die hiesigen Flüchtlinge weiter geben. Bitte melden ! Zusammen mit dem bblackboxx Team der Woche gibt es zusätzliche Aktionen und Lesungen, siehe Programm. *HARAGA (Arabisch) = Grenzübertreter; Schwarzfahrer; â??illegalerâ?

[NetBehaviour] Cliffs in West Jordan, Utah
Cliffs in West Jordan, Utah You might find a mormon cricket hiding but you'd have to go into the weed forests across the street for the mantis. You might find that it's better to speed towards dissolution, corrosion, than attempt to decry obstinately the forces of rampant subversion. For nothing operates but development and the church and that leaves the rest of in a nowhere with names like Branding Iron Lane. http://www.alansondheim.org/cliffs.jpg The cliff slope guarantees that runoff from the western slopes won't be absorbed by the retainer ponds, oddly positioned on the other side of the houses and basements - so there's flooding. You might dig a channel along the cliff base, but then you might have to contend with the natural order of a stream. No HOA (home owners' association) would stand for it. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
