As a synthesis of ideas and aspirations raised throughout the symposium, as well as the month long NetArtizens Project http://www.furtherfield.org/netartizens/, we will examine how today¹s Net practitioners, or what we might refer to as ³Netartizens,² are signaling a changing approach to artistic production, research, and teaching. In the age of social media, our conversations, discourses, and artistic work are ³intertwingled² (to use Ted Nelson¹s playful term) with exponentially exploding repositories of media and information: nowadays, our everyday communications are embedded with the metadata of search queries, hyperlinks, hashtags and usernames. To the extent that we practice, challenge, and assimilate the rapidly evolving systems and techniques of the network, we will examine and dissect the resulting impact on our individual and collective ³Net behaviors.² Moderator: * Randall Packer, Visiting Associate Professor, School of Art, Design Media, Nanyang Technological University Commentators: * Vibeke Sorensen, Chair, School of Art, Design Media, Nanyang Technological University * jonCates, Chair and Associate Professor of Film, Video and New Media, School of the Art Institute of Chicago * Ruth Catlow Marc Garrett, Co-founders Co-directors, Furtherfield, London To Access: Adobe Connect Webconferencing https://ntu.adobeconnect.com/symposium2015 Art of the Networked Practice | Online Symposium http://oss.adm.ntu.edu.sg/symposium2015/ ___

Re: [NetBehaviour] _arc.hive_ ----------------------Dying--------------------
It _is_ odd. I know Jean-Paul was early involved with train scheduling - if I remember correctly, his initial break with Merleau Ponty was over the protocol for the EOT (end of train) codes. Sartre later said - among the ruins of passenger train A40 - that it was his first existential crisis, brought on by the train wreck itself. His concept of the 'slimy' came out of the spoiled jello tins in the dining car. Later, asked about his railroad career, he insisted that all his books weren't worth nearly as much as a good switching algorithm - and of course his role in early TCP/IP development in this regard is almost always overlooked.

It's slowing me up; depression invades intention. I'm beginning to feel everyone's furious with me or us for reasons unknown. Anyway, a new clarinet improvisation. Notes - My jinashi shakuhachi received a new hanko from Perry Yung today; I didn't realize he has an illustrious stage/ acting career! I unsubscribed finally from nettime; my own posts tend not to go through and the discussion seems to have increasingly narrowed. This makes me all the more thankful for DIWO and the generosity of the Netbehaviour list which manages to be open, productive, and amazingly creative. Have given up on antique Albert system clarinets; I've had to return two of them because of cracks, misfitting barrels, and a general sense of being out of tune. The instrument here is a Boehm wooden Pruefer with amazing response and tone, from the 1960s or 70. We're getting ready to drive across country to bring the rarer instruments to the National Music Museum in South Dakota; they're too delicate to keep, beautiful art works in themselves, and they'll get decent humidity and care at the Museum. We're giving them gratis; they'll pay for the drive out. Stephen Dydo and I will do a guqin duet for the new cd; I'm really happy about this - we play well together. Reading the Dionysiaca of Nonnus/Nonnos, an Elmore Leonard, novel, a book on the Anthropocene, Husan Hua's A General Explanation of the Vajra Prana Paramita Sutra, Jacqueline Waters' poetry, Badiou's Ethics, the Rigveda Brahmanas. Recent sleep excessively disrupted, two new murders in Providence, guest taught in Leslie Thornton's classes and saw wonderful film/video work, and have been really sick with a constant sore throat, wheezing, and pain. The pension problem seems solved here, there was a savage beating down the street from us, snow is still around but mostly gone. Nobody died. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
