Our 10th wedding anniversary! (I know, mentioned this on Facebook!)


Today's our 10th wedding anniversary, 12th year of living together. Azure
has been wonderful and I owe her everything. I'm lucky to have an amazing
daughter, Joanna, and good friends who will put up with my work for the
next few decades - who will put up with me in general. We're celebrating

Saturday. A good week!

Thank you everyone! love, Alan

[NetBehaviour] Friday June 17 @ TEKS: Memes from Hi-Science, Tech to Art for Life

2011-06-14 Thread info
MEME MACHINES, TRANSHUMAN, TRANSBEMAN

http://teks.no/

Memes - virus-like infectious ideas, cultural transmitters, are out there,
out of control, out on the streets, inside us, in our brains, in our
memory, in the Internet.

Promoting perpetual self-reference and demanding a life of their own they
add another dimension to our understanding of humanity and culture and
point to future Utopias and initiate further memetic implications.
...
Abstracting ourselves in blogs and profiles we create ex-vivo
consciousness, virtual existences, that are superior to our fragile body
and can be understood as bemes - units of beings.

When will we be able to beme ourselves up into transbeman state?

Franziska Mucha studies culture (interdisciplinary) and science
(occasionally) and is the first intern at TEKS where she is practicing
(aesthetically). Within this multi-modality she came across memetics. as
fan and initiator she will give a short teaser to the lecture.


* * *

MEMES FROM HI-SCIENCE, TECH TO ART FOR LIFE

The lecture will present some up-to-date hi-science and -technology
reflections approached from memetics, anchored in more elaborated,
informational ontologies (Bohm, Johansen, Rapoport). One issue here will
be implications from recent achievements in "living robotics", related to
advances in cybernetic mathematics and meaning theory. Another issue will
be some connected reflections on the relation between art of science and
science of art.

The discipline of memetics emerged a generation ago, and in some synergy
with the rise of complexity science from the mid-1980’s, which, especially
in the work of Fontana, achieved a more universal and abstract paradigm of
systemic evolution than the one operative in neo-Darwinism. This indicated
some significant connection between memetics and genetics, and in more
sophisticated ways than hinted at in the prelude announcement of Dawkins -
who attracted some science fame attention from being regarded as the
initiator of the concept ‘meme’ with related associations. Basically, the
concept ‘meme’ introduced i) possible scientific treatment of ideas and
perceptions under the same conceptual umbrella; ii) possible quantitative
treatments of mental affairs in some analogy to or extrapolation of
genetic affairs; and iii) possible analysis of mental, socio-psychological
and anthropological affairs in congruence with the general science about
evolution of complex systems, seeking more refined "patterns that connect"
(Bateson) or natural laws of higher order than the four basic forces of
conventional physics. The field of memetics became somewhat configurated
in the polarity between, on the one hand, physicalist ontology,
corresponding to the conventional, simplistic conception of genes and
mind-from-matter beliefs, and on the other hand ontologies more in accord
with the computer age giving main priority to information, not to
substance (as already in the universal Turing machine).


ABOUT THE LECTURER
Stein E. Johansen is Magister of Philosophy (1985) and Dr.Philos. in
Economic Theory (1991). He has worked as an associate professor of
Sociology (1991) at UiO and since 1992 at the Institute for Social
Anthropology, NTNU. In 2002 he was made an honorary "full professor in
physics" at the Institute for Basic Research in the USA, and in 2008 he
received the Santilli-Galilei Award's gold medal "in honour of
contributions to natural philosophy".

Johansen has a wide and ambitious scientific authorship, lately with
contributions to mathematics, for example his deductive derivation of
previously unknown generators that give the exact and complete patterns of
compound numbers and thus also primes (2010).


The lecture will be in English.

Free entry.

[NetBehaviour] AI Takes On Pac-Man.

2011-06-14 Thread marc garrett
AI takes on Pac-Man - well in fact it plays both sides! An annual 
competition challenges participants to write Java programs to control 
Pac-Man or the ghosts!

Pac-Man might not seem like a problem that is in the same league as, 
say, chess. In fact you might not even see it as a two player game but 
it is and always has been Pac-Man versus the Ghosts. So what could be a 
better idea that trying to create some AI that plays either side. This 
is what is happening at the annual Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

Competitors were challenged to create Java programs that took control 
either of Pac-Man or the team of four Ghosts. Previous competitions only 
allowed the AI to control Pac-Man so controlling the team of ghosts 
extended the task to multi-agent and co-operative strategies.

[NetBehaviour] Hans Ulrich Obrist, In Conversation with Julian Assange, Part II

2011-06-14 Thread info
Hans Ulrich Obrist, In Conversation with Julian Assange, Part II

→ Continued from “In Conversation with Julian Assange, Part One.”

When I first met Julian Assange—thanks to lawyer and Chair of the 
Contemporary Art Society Mark Stephens and curator/lawyer Daniel 
McClean, both of the law firm Finers Stephens Innocent—we discussed 
ideas for various interview formats. Anton Vidokle and I had discussed 
the idea to conduct an interview with Assange in which questions would 
be posed not only by me, but also by a number of artists. This seemed 
only natural considering the extent to which so many artists have been 
interested in WikiLeaks, and we then invited seven artists and 
collectives to ask questions over video for the second part of the 
interview.

My archive now contains over 2000 hours of interviews recorded in many 
different places, and I am constantly attempting to discover new rules 
of the game, new approaches to how an interview can work. For an 
interview with Hans-Peter Feldmann published initially in AnOther 
Magazine and then in book form, I emailed him one question per day, and 
each of Feldmann’s responses would take the form of an image. For my 
interview with Louise Bourgeois, I would send a question and she would 
email back a drawing. When Julian came to my office with Mark and Daniel 
for our first meeting, we discussed the idea of a different format with 
questions from artists, and Julian liked this a lot, suggesting that the 
artists send the questions as short videos so that he could see them. We 
set the interview for two weeks later at 10 or 11 p.m., as we discovered 
that we both work late at night. Traveling more than three hours from 
London on Sunday, February 27, I arrived at Ellingham Hall, the Georgian 
mansion near the Eastern coast of England that Vaughan Smith offered 
Julian to use as his address for bail during his UK extradition 
hearings. In the living room of the picturesque home he described to me 
as a “golden cage” we drank many cups of coffee and spoke until 3 a.m. 
about his life, his nomadism, his early beginnings and the invention of 
WikiLeaks, his time in Egypt, Kenya, Iceland, and other places, his 
scientific background, and the theoretical underpinnings of WikiLeaks.

[NetBehaviour] In Loving Memory: we've just lost a beautiful friend...

2011-06-14 Thread marc garrett
Hi Netbehaviourists,

This post is only going to be featured here...

"When a noise of a close friend disappears the presence remains, but one 
still misses the essence of their being. So much so, that it critiques 
one's own inner reasoning. These moments question life and its rhythms 
in such a way that it belittles one's immediate relation to the world - 
we try to avoid the void as it eats our noise perpetually..."

We received some very sad news this morning that Patrick Simons, Sound 
Artist, Net Artist and Musician, died this Saturday.

It is hard to know how to share this kind of unfortunate news with 
others, especially on the Internet. But, we are going to try...because 
Patrick contributed to this community. He was here.

Patrick, was a genuine, lovable and open minded man; interested in art, 
philosophy, politics, social contexts and contemporary ideas, community, 
experimental music and sound art. He was a decent human being. Critical 
minded yet friendly, he has been a good and very close friend to us for 
over 10 years. Kate Southworth and Patrick have shared a rare and 
magical journey together. Two very dynamic and creative individuals in 
their own right, but also completely in love with each other. The work 
they created together which is important, reflects a poetic and mutual 
imagination what was at the same time wonderful personal, political art 
and a clear representation of their love for each other: they 
collaborated as Gloriousninth (http://gloriousninth.net).

The rest of the post is here:
http://www.furtherfield.org/blog/ruth-catlow/loving-memory-weve-just-lost-beautiful-friend

If you know Kate or knew Patrick, and wish to share your feelings, 
images and thoughts, please post your comments on the blog & not the list...

We already miss Patrick deeply...

Marc and Ruth.

Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (conaculta), through Centro
Multimedia of Centro Nacional de las Artes (cenart), calls on creatives
related with artistic production and electronic media to participate in the
*Fourth New Media Art and Video Contest TRANSITIO_MX*.


*New Media Art and Video Festival TRANSITIO_MX 04: Collateral Affections.*

*New Media Art and Video Festival TRANSITIO_MX *is the most important
plattform in Mexico for the analysis and the expression of the contemporary
art practices using technological media and digital culture.

The theme of the present edition is Collateral Affections, in allusion to
the impact generated by the contemporary use of technology within the
aesthetic scope, which produces affections of very diverse kind that can be
grouped in five subjects: hostile paradigms; agency, negotiation and
dilution; software, hardware, condition of possibilities; education,
norm-demand, knowledge communities; and interdiscipline. The challenge for
this edition is to generate a guideline for the construction of a culture
with a critical orientation on functional technology and digital art.

The event aims to support, acknowledge and promote the latest production and
research about the technological-artistic media, all of this through an
International Exhibition, a Contest, a Symposium and workshops.

In this occasion, the following prizes will be given:



*TRANSITIO_MX PRIZE*

·  First prize valued at $120,000.00 (One hundred and twenty-thousand
Mexican Pesos 00/100)

·  Second prize valued at $80,000.00 (Eighty thousand Mexican Pesos 00/100)
