2013-03-13 Thread Fung-Lin Hall
Birthday of Mahmoud Darwish: March 13, 1941.. (he passed away last Nov

M. Darwish describes Palestine as a metaphor–for exile, for the human 
condition, for the grief of dislocation and dispossession. In “Eleven 
Planets in the Last Andalusian Sky,” he writes:
I’m the Adam of two Edens lost to me twice:
Expel me slowly. Kill me slowly
With Garcia Lorc
Under my olive tree.

[NetBehaviour] Call for participation - VIDA workshops program: Mission Eternity Stowaway led by etoy.Corporation

2013-03-13 Thread monica bello
Dear friends,

please find below an invitation to participate in the next VIDA workshop with 
etoy.Corporation featuring their awarded project Mission Eternity Sarcophagus.


On 3th, 4th and 5th April, from 4 pm to 8 pm, Espacio Fundación Telefónica will 
be hosting the VIDA Mission Eternity Stowaway Workshop, run by the Swiss 
digital artist group Etoy.Corporation.
The group are pioneers in Internet art and creators of the Mission Eternity 
Sarcophagus project, which received first prize at VIDA 10.0 for a mobile tomb 
containing and displaying the portraits of those who want their data remains to 
be sent to a digital afterlife, thus offering them life after death. AGENTS 
miss Monorom (board member and long term CTO) and agent Zai (co-founder) invite 
and guide humans (age 5 to +99) on an eternal trip through space and time. They 
will assist each person to design and construct a MINI ARCANUM CAPSULE – an 
unique data collection of 64MB that, at the end of the day, will be inserted 
into the MISSION ETERNITY STORAGE. The system tries to keep the data alive 
forever by endless copy processes in the social network of MISSION ETERNITY 
ANGELS (people who donate a part of their free hard disk space to the mission).

Participants should bring whatever they want to put into their personal MINI 
ARCANUM CAPSULE:  i.e. childhood images, documents, love letters, favorite 
books, drawings, technical manuals of devices they use, family album, plans of 
their house, songs (as mp3 files), packages of the food they eat, cash register 
slips, their trash of the previous day. Etoy is totally open to handle the most 
crazy data, the more the participants prepare and think about their concepts 
the more intense and interesting the workshop.

Disclaimer: MISSION ETERNITY is an artistic venture that is highly questionable 
and requires open minded test pilots.


Mission Eternity Stowaway workshop is part of VIDA workshop program.

[NetBehaviour] My panel talk at the glitch panel, SXSW (without visuals)

2013-03-13 Thread Alan Sondheim


My panel talk at the glitch panel, SXSW

http://www.alansondheim.org/sxsw.mp3

The panel was 2012: Year of the GLI.TC/H
Panelists were Jon Cates, Jon Satrom, Patrick
Lichty, myself, all thanks to Bishop Zareh,
who brilliantly organized the whole thing.
The panel lasted an hour in the Longhorn Room,
Omni Downtown, under the sub-category
Art + Inspiration.

disclaimers: I meant Iraq when I said Iran; I didn't
mean to imply to the Involuntaries came out of the
avatar work; I'm not sure I mentioned Maud Liardon's
name, I didn't have time to thank everyone at Chicago
and WVU; I stumbled a bit about the theoretical
material which I really didn't cover; I forgot to
show the Facebook profile picture of the wounded WWI
soldier; I recorded at too high a volume; I didn't
record others; I had the recorder awkwardly set. On
the other hand, a lot of material was shown and
people were excited about it all. The Razorfish
presentation was similar but shorter and cut off in
the middle of a video. Hope you get something out of
this; most but not all of the images (video/still)
are older, but not all. Finally I didn't mean to
sound like such an idiot about erasing my Odyssey
platform at the end of the last performance with
Sandy Baldwin. Everything was improvised, I did my
best.

[NetBehaviour] some thought about augmented reality (ar)(before and after sxsw)

2013-03-13 Thread Alan Sondheim

some thought about augmented reality (ar)
(before and after sxsw)

===

1 ar is localized
  ar - {x sub y}

2 ar is interference (googleglass)
  entanglement

3 ar is distancing (lorenz, ethology, avoidive behavior)
in terms of active engagement
  drawing distinction, 'defoliation'

4 ar is technology- and corporate- dependent
  capital multiflux jitters, hyper-hyperbole

5 ar is protocol- and codec- dependent
  codework internalized

6.ar is clever
  ar is w(W)ired

7 ar has the potential for deep history and deep ecology
  historiographies

8 ar like tablets creates class distinctions in the school
system
  capital / Kapital

9 ar needs to get rid of external in favor of embedded
technologies
  on the level of the sensory aegis

10 ar is coming whatever one thinks of it: ar is here
  corporate, ar - {W}

11 ar may be distancing in terms of passive engagement -
think of issues of slaughter, pain, resource consumption,
etc.
  image epistemology, bypass surgery, suture

12 ar will increasingly be independent of technological
sophistication on the part of the user
  autonomic somaticism

13 military drones are the most sophisticated application
of ar: why are we not making the connection?
  tunneling effects, embedded theory

14 w/ googleglass privacy is destroyed: the third person
devours the first person transformed into the second
person
  ar will talk not to you but among you

15 does augmentation always improve the quality of our
lives?
  lifeworlds and does it matter?

16 ar is useful in specific situations - say, the
location of mines in mine-fields, in surgeries, in
situations that involve specificity and deep knowledge
  deep geographies, geopolitics

17 ar is useful as a demonstration of ar, of what lies
behind the ordinary - mark skwarek's erasure of the dmz
  but what lies behind is digital, truth is problematic,
  anything may be inserted

18 in this sense ar is highly useful as a symbolic
construct
  or the symbolic

19 and in this sense the recording of ar for others is
equally useful as a symbolic construct - it presents
the subjunctive
  potential individual communality beneath the sign of
  capital

20 ar - digital over or among analog - what are the
phenomenologies here? what are the potentials or
dangers, what entanglements, what flows of capital?
