[NetBehaviour] Mahmoud Darwish - Eleven Planets Two Edens
Birthday of Mahmoud Darwish: March 13, 1941.. (he passed away last Nov 2012) Edward Said and M. Darwish + J.L Godard Notre Musique http://www.mutanteggplant.com/vitro-nasu/2012/11/20/eleven-planets-two-edens/ 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
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)
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 mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
[NetBehaviour] some thought about augmented reality (ar)(before and after sxsw)
=== 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? === ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
