[NetBehaviour] Big Data Synthetics (BDS)

2016-06-21 Thread Alan Sondheim



Big Data Synthetics (BDS)

http://www.alansondheim.org/datasynthetics.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/datasynthetics.mp4

Data synthetics (DS) is the science of examining raw data
corrupted with an encounter with the real, the chora, the petite
a, the a a priori, the imaginary, the abject, the unhealthy, the
contagious, the sickness unto death, the monstrous, the grotesque,
the anguished, the obscene, the unutterable, the mute, the
silenced, the wounded, the corroded, the decayed, the silenced,
the victims, with the purpose of drawing conclusions from whatever
peripheral, outsider, insider, testimonies, may be obtained from
whatever information is available, keeping the raw data raw,
embedding the raw data in the organic, the turmoil and trauma of
edgespaces and blankspaces. Data synthetics is used in many
professions and protestations of the true-real to allow all pf us
to better comprehend the world around us; it is also used in the
sciences to problematize or disprove existing models or theories,
or to embed such theories within lifeworlds and modes of dwelling,
and to create dialogs between such theories and modes and the
physical structures of our local multiverse.

Let's play the game. Let's think this through.

Coyote's running, he sees Locust, so he breaks his leg because
Locus was carrying his leg. Later he falls dead for some reason,
I forget what. Magpie comes along and plucks out his eyes. That's
why the magpie has eyes. Then Manitou comes along, says what's
going on here. Coyote comes back to life, catches Locust, takes
his leg, places it on his leg, and his leg is healed. That's why
Locust walks with a limp and a jump. Then Coyote kills Locust, and
Manitou gets his legs.

Let's play the song. Let's sing this through.

"and your synthetic cathedral syntheticinged
and your synthetic folks your bunnyinged

and your synthetic cathedral syntheticinged
and your synthetic folks your bunnyinged"

Then this:

synthetic, not analytic restraints, not really necessary, but all
is analytic or all is synthetic; holding her mapping, her map
presenced. this system is not established by the synthetic
activity of synthetic commodities and commodity simulacra; it
serves no other purpose. they lie, they say, men are analytic,
women are synthetic; Coyote says it's the other way around,
henequen, and coir. A variety of synthetic fibers may also be
used. The analytic-synthetic body. The synthetic-analytic body.
techne questioned.

Then this: BDS: big data synthetics. Data corrupts data,
BDS corrupts BDS. Then this:

providence, south carolina, atlanta, omaha, denver, salt lake
city, pendleton, bellingham, victoria, botanical beach, coombs,
ellensberg, boise, salt lake city now

eyedrum, atlanta; dhsi and elo, victoria, botanicals everywhere

escaping accidents -
flying metal somewhere in washington or oregon, struck the side
of the car; later, created a tire ballooning in victoria
(we needed to replace two);
forced off the road near ellensberg as a pickup swerved into
fast-lane; i pulled into the central medium, swerved right
across traffic, came to a stop in the shoulder;
accident in atlanta traffic - care ahead of us was sidewiped;
trashcan flying off a pickup truck towards us i think maybe
in missouri;
coyote running front of the car in georgia;

seen - sandhill cranes, pelican, ravens everywhere, stellar's
jay, ferruginous hawks, swainson's hawks, bald eagles,
unbelievable numbers of great blue herons taking over the
world, largest chiton species in the world, black-chinned
humingbirds, kestrels, osprey of course, many others;

not to mention amazing people at dhsi and elo!
and our assorted relatives along the way!

I'm Giving a Talk at DHSI, University of Victoria, Tomorrow

Please come if you can! (ELO welcome of course!)

http://www.alansondheim.org/lastus051.jpg

Azure and I drove across country (from Providence, RI, through
Atlanta, GA, to Victoria BC); we arrived a few days ago. I'm
speaking at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, at U. Vic,
tomorrow, Thursday, at 5:00-5:30 - details of the (heavily
illustrated) talk below:

Thursday, June 9th, 5:00 to 5:30

Event: Alan Sondheim, "Language, Accident, and the Virtual"

(MacLaurin Building, Room A144)

Abstract: This talk engages concepts of blankness, geography,
gamespace in virtual worlds, and what I term edgespace - the
limits of the gamespace, where language occurs and seethes. I
argue that the phenomenology of the real comes into play when
living spaces are abandoned, where broken geographies are signs
of a future already present. I present instances of digital
language production in such spaces, working through virtual
worlds such as Second Life and the Macgrid, as well as
self-contained Open Sim software that can be run on most
computers.

The edgespace is always uneasy, tottering, catastrophic; it is
the space of the unalloyed digital, where things no longer
operate within a classical or modernist tradition. Increasingly,
this space characterizes our current place in the world, with
its fractured media histories and environments of scorched
earth, environmental depredation, and slaughter. We can work
through and within such spaces, developing (as perhaps Occupy
did) new forms of production, resistance, and digital culture.

Thank you!

- Alan

[NetBehaviour] my philosophy in a nutshell

2016-06-06 Thread Alan Sondheim



my philosophy in a nutshell

http://www.alansondheim.org/shore08.jpg

think of striations of the imaginary within blankness, strange
attractors, hallucinatory structures, wrong turns, dead ends,
failures. think of edgespace not as glitch but as inherent,
inhering, bridging nonetheless, entangled projects and intro-
jections ("jectivities," morphisms); think of gamespace as
corporate, closed manifolding, totalities, kernels of clean and
proper bodies:: map all of this onto immersive/definable
hierarchies (mathematical _activity and production_ in relation
to (in)formalized mathematical structures):: immersion appears
_fundamental_ to blankspace, as mutually-generated activities
within edgespace, as the construction of _dwelling_ within
gamespace; definability appears _fundamental_ to gamespace, as
wrong or deliberate well-defined turns within edgespace; as
categorical formalisms after the fact in gamespace:: then think
of _regimes of control_ within and without gamespace (player /
gamemaster / corporation) and their loosening within edgespace
and blankspace (as well as the chaotic and stochastic nature of
blankspace itself):: and you have a way of thinking through a
world or the world:: now consider this in terms of unravelings,
being again with this consideration in mind, in terms of
gamespace, edgespace, blankspace, immersion and definability
(again keeping in mind that these are basically entangled), and
you are on the way to at least an interesting way of thinking
through worldings (which are subject to and suspect of such
categories which are thereby unraveling... )::

Outline

1. Advantages of using virtual worlds. Suppleness, universal
audience.
2. Rough guide: packaged movements, avatars, objects, variable
physics.
3. Second Life, MacGrid, localhost
4. Ideas of Gamespace, Edgespace, Blankspace
5. What happens at edgespaces? Everything is still contained
6. Blankspaces and the imaginary
7. Languaging - see Use of Writing below. Idea of lived writing.

8. dynamics, category theory, morphisms and arrows, objects:
think of gamespace/edgespace/blankspace as dynamic, striated:
how do these meld?
gamespace as kernel: Trump the bully totalizes this: what occurs
internally (truth functions) is irrelevant. edgespace: regions
of contestation again circumlocuted. blankspace: contestation of
the imaginary.

Directory Categories (of examples):

blankspace

gamespace

In Sl, supple and indefinite modeling.
What happens at the _edges_ of models?
Models as gamespace structures.
Epistemology of gamespace - speak to Sandy re: online/offline
gaming -
 cosplay etc. -
Blankness, substance (fissure, not cut/inscription)
 - the problematic of same/same/same/ the _queasiness_
 - of structurelessness - unstructured - loss of structure -
 - the imaginary - deprivation chambers -
 - what's down there, what's all around us?

GAMESPACE / EDGESPACE / BLANKSPACE

Language, Accident, and the Virtual

In this talk, I focus on concepts of blankness, geography,
gamespace in virtual worlds, and what I term edgespace - the
limits of the gamespace, where language occurs and seethes. I
argue that the phenomenology of the real comes into play when
living spaces are abandoned, where broken geographies are signs
of a future already present. I present instances of digital
language production in such spaces, working through virtual
worlds such as Second Life and the Macgrid, as well as
self-contained Open Sim software that can be run on most
computers.

The edgespace is always uneasy, tottering, catastrophic; it is
the space of the unalloyed digital, where things no longer
operate within a classical or modernist tradition. Increasingly,
this space characterizes our current place in the world, with
its fractured media histories and environments of scorched
earth, environmental depredation, and slaughter. We can work
through and within such spaces, developing (as perhaps Occupy
did) new forms of production, resistance, and digital culture.

Use of writing:

The creation of texts within the videos is in real time  think
of a jazz improvisation.
So its not like a text pinning down the videos, but more like
talking within them:
The texts are an immersive experience. Its not illustrated
poetry; its being there, being within these spaces. If you were
in them when the texts are being spoken, you would read them as
part of your immersive experience as well. This is a fundamental
difference compared, for example, to conceptual art, where
writing is a structural orientation to illustration.

---

emphasize the problematic of codes, organisms, classification
schemes - what constitutes gamespace (ARG? the game of "life"?
the game of life?) - how is everything entangled?

how can one disassociate gamespace/rules for example from other
domains? are there clear-cut distinctions?

in Wittgenstein, games and "game" and "language game"
disassociated these things. Wittgenstein was _clean_ - language
games occurred with loose referents but within language. he
_spoke._

we're language-centric of course.
consider "completely" entangled - what does that mean?
what might "surface symptomologies" tell us about the
coruscations beneath the surface?
where image/imaginary comes in - reading among chaos, chaotic
waveforms

when Weyl's notion of hunting for automorphisms falls through
structures of examination and abjection.

"What we have learn from our whole discussion and what has
indeed become a guiding principle in mathematics is this lesson:
_Whenever you have to do with a structure-endowed entity E try
to determine its group of auto- morphisms,_ the group of those
element-wise transformations which leave all structural
relations undisturbed." (Weyl, Symmetry, p. 144.)

viola with jetplanes and birds

http://www.alansondheim.org/viovec1.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/viovola.mp3
http://www.alansondheim.org/viovec2.jpg

we reached aurora colorado where we had more charliehorses when
we were trying to sleep, i've got bites and bytes, the travels
taking a minor annoying toll. with meandering, only about 2800
miles so far, next stop in a few days, salt lake city. today
there are tornado warnings. i played with the planes and birds.

thinking constantly about codework now and its relation to a new
music-aesthetic dynamics. ruptured code, many-to-many, nothing
well defined, inconceivable, dynamics shuffling around
everything.

we keep the humidity as much as possible between 40-65%, healthy
for flesh and wood. going over the rockies next leg, then two
legs to canada and victoria. buddhism and even zalamea's
synthetic philosophy of mathematics have echos of scholasticism
i think, so my escape is to problematic grounds of abjection.
today placed three X signs, small wooden plaques, on my mouth
and nipples, and a 1/2 sign on my crotch. i wondered about XXX
and then what is XXX and a half, and the X i use (similar
typeface) for the isis flag in my videos, and what about a
proliferation of unknowns, X against X, mirrored within X or
duplicated within X, doppelgangers, X-gangers, universal
granularity of virtual particles, and those that, in human
terms, seem to stay around for a while. the urge of sexuality,
always a murmur.

the interstates in missouri had no protective fences and there
was carnage everywhere. i never want to drive through the state
again. dead deer, armadillos, coyote, groundhogs, skunks,
opossums, hundreds of mutilated corpses on the road. towards
western nebraska and eastern colorado then, and feedlots all
over the place, cows standing in their own feces, horrifying
smells, concentration-camps for animals.

i read along the way, trying to retain my sense of the
_theoretical._

we're going to a nice clean conference. if the charliehorses
continue, we'll limp through it. in the meantime music fills the
air, violaplanebird intermix.

something to listen to, severe storms and possible tornados in
the forecast.

spotters may be needed.

Dear P[all],

Thanks for the audio interpretation of our acceleration-deceleration
https://soundcloud.com/pall-thayer/acceleration-deceleration
It maps to the dynamic, ominous, muscular debate, that suddenly
stopped what? why?

Perhaps the debate evaporated, from a stream of conversation into a
cloud of collective contemplation.

For myself, the discussion has been continuing (like several bees) in
my own mind; telepathically with NBers (you know who you are); and
then off-list over beers with many others in the world.

There was the usual display of generosity by those talking about
things that are hard to talk about. The discussions about artists and
artworks deserve more time.

There were so many strange iceberg statements made
+ Annie exhorted us not to dream
+ Michael mocked those who asserted that oceans would be made of
lemonade if they wished it so
+ John, Alan and Simon all seem to prefer a planet sans-humans
+ Rob advocated asteroid mining for a universal basic income
+ Gretta was exasperated by the elites
+ James' software wouldn't run on my computer and he doesn't care
- - None of these icebergs can be explored with the nuance required,
in this format, in this place, but it's still good to see them hoving
into view.

I am still Ruth, and I am still a (left) Accelerationist
because its a condition not a mission.

Thanks everyone!

:)

There is a very famous case in Japan, of a children's anime which created 
seizures in children; later it was shown on a newscast and even more 
people had them. I've always had to be careful with my own work which has

  I wouldn't have thought of that either but stripes moving at

  You've created art that is resistant to media distribution.

  In 2016.

  That's awesome!

  And potential problems are identified by machine -

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harding_test

  Which makes this an example of algorithmic critique as well.

  So to answer your question - more energetic examples of
  glitch/new media
  would need a certificate.  I wonder if institutions that collect
  such
  art have access to Harding testing?

Alan Sondheim: Talk and video   May 20, 2016
7:30PM - 10:00PM or 9:30PM
Price:  free
Artist, musician, curator, thinker, and one-time Atlantan Alan
Sondheim will talk about and show video of his recent work.

He'll be in Atlanta this week, and will be performing and
lecturing at Eyedrum on Friday, May 20th at 7:30 pm. Azure
Carter will be performing with him.

He'll about his current work with some looking back; he's worked
with motion capture (altering it), virtual worlds, and revrev,
an ideal of real-time reverse reverberation, which is impossible
(time would have to run backwards). He'll discuss what this
means in terms of philosophically thinking about improvisation
and digital music. The presentation will include audio and video
samples of his work.

Sondheim served as curator at Nexus Contemporary Art Center (now
Atlanta Contemporary) in the mid-1980s; I also worked with Art
Papers, Image, and taught at Atlanta College of Art.

Eyedrum is located at

[NetBehaviour] New work on Azure's blogs! And a review and an itinerary!

2016-05-10 Thread Alan Sondheim



New work on Azure's blogs! And a review and an itinerary!

Azure's put up new work and findings on her blogs, please see
below! And we're traveling starting Friday, for close to two
months.

http://azurecarter.weebly.com/
http://azurecarter.weebly.com/the-donkey-skin.html
http://azurecarter.weebly.com/luna-theater.html
http://azurecarter.weebly.com/blue-marble-gallery
http://azurecarter.weebly.com/family--friends.html
http://azurecarter.weebly.com/orinithology.html

New review with video!

http://grisli.canalblog.com/archives/2016/05/06/33772653.html

And our itinerary:

We're leaving in two days to travel for two months; our postings
might be intermittent. We're going first to Atlanta, where we're
looking into possibly moving; we're also performing at Eyedrum
on the 20th, I'm playing with an improvisatory group on the
18th, and I'll be interviewed sometime during the week. We're
visiting some wonderful friends there, and if you're in Atlanta,
contact us!

We're then going to Omaha for a couple of days, staying with
Barbara Simcoe and Lee Murray, then going to Denver, to visit
Azure's parents for a couple of days, and then going to Salt
Lake City, to visit Azure's aunt also for a couple of days.

Then on to Victoria, BC, to visit my brother and his family, and
to speak at University of Victoria as part of their Digital
Humanities Summer Institute program, as well as at the
Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) conference. We'll visit
for two weeks or so, hope to go back to Carmanah. We'll have a
lot of family time!

After that, we return to Salt Lake City, Denver, and Omaha, for
longer visits (doing work all the way out and back), and after
Omaha, most probably straight back to Providence, possibly
stopping off at Toronto!

We should also be playing in New York and Philadelphia later
summer.

Do write us if you're in any of these places!

love, Alan (and Azure sends her regards)

[NetBehaviour] the stories of interiors and bifurcations

2016-05-02 Thread Alan Sondheim



the stories of interiors and bifurcations

http://www.alansondheim.org/bifurcation.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/interiors1.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/interiors2.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/interiors3.jpg

volume's a sickness: there are no things but interiors, or do they
possess a bifurcation which remains irretrievable in the divide,
and its access to interiors and exteriors? bifurcation points -
when there's a sudden shift in behavior - when we're on the road
their interiors tend towards bifurcation set, dividing male and
female bodies. you know that. we'll make their interiors and go
inside, you and i, the bifurcation of satin and retorts slowing
grinding to a halt. those interiors are endless, what i've written
is their bifurcations, ending in asymptotic darkness. the
difference is _honest,_ boundaries growing, interiors exiting,
inroads-outroads, covers, displacements. it all returns.

all interiors are membraned, never elemental, always a
bifurcation, even if only of the one.

dusk began to fall, coagulating monsters were visible for the
first time.

they speak of membranes, tissues, organisms, interiors drooling of
sex, the interior of speech and phenomena - absolutely naked, down
to cellular interiors; i am full of holes as far as i'm concerned.

copula. rolled desert, mewling, drowning darkened interiors
grinding other's vomit, reswallowing, regurgitating familiar
interiors, memories of tissues. new membranes and interiors. new
conical objects. new objects.

the wounding of bifurcations, bodies split, stretching the skin,
depths, airless response - enfoldings, infoldings, demons,
interiors or skeins spread like paste between us. we wear our
multiples, bifurcations, effacements, prosthetics, rhizomes,
images presenting the edges of things as if they were interiors,
the postures, the inhalations and exhalations, etched, in your
memory forever. there's no way out.

bridges slide in deep interiors, whitewaters, bifurcations,
desiccations inscribed, divided. interiors: invasions. members:
invasions.

the only thing that happens, is _steam._ interiors spread like
paste between us. biogenetics smooths bifurcation happens,
_steam,_ stretched, swollen, distended interiors, all glistening,
reflecting your interior, bifurcations, your interior
bifurcations.

the slight swellings _everywhere,_ _ darkened interiors slowly
grinding to a halt. the debris of the real. then explored and
unexplored. then knotted interiors. then bifurcations. the
_knotted._ the _sheave-skin, sheave-organism._

they_ have no limits. _they_ secrete interiors, exteriors. _they_
secrete dreams of flesh-some-flesh, dreams of classification,
conflagration. when were they made. who made them. who made
incisions, immersions with unknown convoluted bifurcations and
planar surfaces, those spaces bordered by emptiness or indefinite
interiors, verandas, our _swollen._

organs passing _through._

through borderlining clara says, bifurcations, they're not
smoothed. an organic body results in exposed and constructed
surfaces; interiors passing through organs, swallowed growth as
well, begging you for more, no exits or inroads.

Re: [NetBehaviour] email about "prevent"

2016-04-30 Thread Alan Sondheim



Thank you so much for this. In the U.S. Islamophobia is at an all-time 
high as you know, and here too it tends to be disguised except for Trump's 
followers. With Trump etc., it's out in the open and reminds me of the 
early Nazis, beer-hall putsch and all, very frightening. And frightening 
that so many many Americans believe this stuff.


I admire you so much btw for your public stance here.

It is a compulsory duty on all working in education in the UK to report to
the authorities concerns about vaguely defined signs of "radicalisation" ie.
to spy on their students.
It is clearly directed principally against Muslims but the examples I give
in my letter show that it is also open to use against others who might fall
under the wide ranging definition.
It is presented by its supporters as a values neutral attempt to take on all
'extremism'  -an example they are particularly fond of quoting is that of
right wing extremism, a new discovery for the powers that be who showed no
interest in any Prevent strategy when
the Admiral Duncan Pub in London was bombed by a right wing homophobe in
1999 killing three and injuring 70 or indeed when Anders Breivik conducted
his mass killing spree in Norway.
The counterpart to 'extremism' in the government narrative is 'British
values'  a concept in itself racist but additionally laughable given
Britain's colonial and racist history up to and including the cheerleading
for and participation in the invasions of Iraq and the intervention in
Libya, both of which have had disastrous consequences as you know. However
one doesn't have to accept all this to feel profoundly uneasy about prevent
as I explain in my mail - I deliberately quoted two "establishment sources"
who have expressed fears -clearly justifiable -that Prevent is both
alienating Moslems and stoking up Islamophobia.
Here's is a very good forensic examination form the website of the UCU left 
-the activist wing of the university lecturers union:

Amazing! really loved his work at the time -


Chris Burden's early performance work heading towards the bring of

Raves. Speedmetal. Current punk debris. Parkour.


That's a wonderful list of work. The elements of these that I feel speak
most to accelerationism are their embrace of complexity and their
intensification of knowing/transgressing of systems.

That knowledge/transgression as craft comes through in Benedict
Singleton's writing about traps and the cunning needed to escape them
(invoking the classical Greek Metis, to go with Prometheus who we've met
already ;-)).

"The intelligence at work in the construction of the trap is most aptly
described as cunning, and it extends to activities that we can broadly
describe as ?technical? more generally. Many are the observers who have
seen in this the paradigm of craft more broadly writ, the ability to
coax effects from the world, rather than imposing effects on it by the
application of force alone. Following the grain of wood, knowing the
melting points of various ores, the toughening of metal through its
tempering: all these are not domineering strategies, exactly, but
situations ?in which the intelligence attempts to make contact with an
object by confronting it in the guise of a rival, as it were, combining
connivance and opposition.?"

http://www.e-flux.com/journal/maximum-jailbreak/


Yes! Exactly! I was thinking this even describes the viola pieces I put up 
tonight which rely on harmonics and octaves and the natural resonance of 
the instrument with and without mutes - the result is a kind of singing 
(for better or worse - I need comments here) which occupies spaces among 
instrument and room resonances, bow 'tremblings' of wrist/finger/arm, and 
harmonics in combination - when I analyze this stuff, I monitor the 
waveforms -


Then of course on some instruments there are wolf-notes to be avoided for 
the most part, a kind of negative wood-grain.


But I wouldn't use the word 'cunning,' so much as 'dwelling-knowledge,'
which indicates lived spaces, habitus, and habits to be pushed or broken - 
the same might apply to some of the pieces above -


Alan, thanks!

[NetBehaviour] Melting ice means no rest for weary polar bears

(this came into my inbox - without the visuals of course - during the 
discussion of accelerationism. apologies for the sentimentalism)



Melting ice means no rest for weary polar bears

Apr. 22, 2016

http://www.alansondheim.org/roches20.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/acdc.mp4

As the Arctics ice continues to melt away, polar bears are
increasingly being forced to swim for days straight to find food
and rest, The Washington Post reports. Of more than 100 bears
monitored by a Canadian researcher, 69% took a swim of at least
49 kilometers in 2012, up from 25% in 2004, according to a new
study in the journal Ecography. One bear in 2009 was observed
swimming 402 kilometers in a 9-day journey during which her
year-old cub died. Though polar bears are adept swimmers, they
are not built to swim long distances, and they were rarely seen
making such journeys in earlier decades. But the continuing
break-up of the Arctics sea ice means that polar bears must do
more marathon swims over open waters to find food.

(Usually I don't make assemblages, and this one, unfair as it
is, is something I've been thinking about recently. Consider it
propaganda at its worst. Do note the ucannily beautiful rust-
belt landscape from downtown Rochester.)

I worry about dilettantes as much as master, for example people working 
in bioart potentially releasing organisms into the environment without 
understanding the chemical flows of biomes and organisms (no one 
understands all of this today!). One of the things I've learned to respect 
is the hardness of science; I'm interested in the foundations of math for 
example and since category theory and its offspring have flourished, I 
feel lost, and lost for good reason - these things are complicated and 
require a lot of study and commitment. So the dilettante worries me as 
well...

idea of 'mastery' - the belief that anything approaching it is even possible - 
seems to be at the heart of the majority of suffering; that which we cause 
ourselves (humans) internationally, inter-culturally, locally, personally,

What is said there, I've been writing into a practice-based curriculum at

un-mastery of the biosphere that we are merely transitory parts of. I 
fundamentally do not like the concept of design, though, as it pre-supposes 
changing that which flows around us. Maybe an adaptive, consciousness-raised 
going-with-the-flow ... sensual improvisation that would include, perhaps, the 
removal of our selves from living viability. If this approach was wide-scale 
enough, the population drop would start the process of a post-human 
re-balancing of the planet's dynamic equilibrium.

[NetBehaviour] the wake

the wake

http://www.alansondheim.org/twisted8.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/thewakes.mp3
http://www.alansondheim.org/memento07.jpg

the keyboard is limited: one note at a time, no 'return' (i.e.
holding down C, then F, then releasing F, doesn't sound C
again), but the clack of fingers and nails on the keys, and the
_wake_ that the melodic leaves behind create imaginary envelopes
- as if there were a dynamics descending from the imaginary.

i've been thinking about _wakes_ - the wake of a human or other
organism moving through a space (gases, liquids, sounds, sights,
pressures - in short an expansion of schlieren optics through
electromagnatic, chemical, and acoustic spectra) -

how, for example, several notes of equal volume and no dynamics
beyond the usual onset/offset (an inexpensive keyboard here) can
create the sensation of musical shaping, almost a voice -

& as in a wake for dearest friends, in this deep and mournful -
our senses leave a wake in the world. boot-strapping occurs
throughout the wake among sentient beings; the re-mark of the
wake is history; the mark of the wake is death.

our alpsong dreams, sadly vanquished, lost in the wake of memory
... on the other side; in real life, === the residue the wake
was an === of === of the wake we leave behind us === of the wake
which disappears ===

The crux, again, is this - you say -

I doubt the
capabilities of our species are any more than any other in the ability 
to alter the fundamentals of Life.


- but from everything I've read and researched, this just isn't true.

The disagreement is deep; for one thing I don't feel guilty, but a need to 
act. The argument that 'this too shall pass away' can be applied to 
anything - seriously, why worry about what ISIS is doing, when ISIS won't 
last, any more than we will? Why do anything? I'm not trying to be 
specious here; perhaps I feel an urgency that you don't, or an urgency 
that involves withdrawal and listening as well as acting; too often fast 
actions result in fast disasters...


Again, I may be missing the point (and if I carry decelerationism to the 
limit I'll turn into a rock) -

Hi Alan -

You know well that the diff. between this and the Perm. for example is this

I hear where you are coming from, and no disrespect, just disagreement about 
how to act/react.


It's there I disagree -- in the differentiation of us as some special 
life-form, separate from everything, above, better at trashing, whatever. We 
are doing what Life always does: helping wind down the universe to its heat 
death, whatever, by expending available energy to maximize our (Life's!) need 
to project itself into the future.


In terms of historical geological epoch, I was not talking about an 
extinction event, but more of the geodynamics of Life at that point in 
history. Carboniferous coal beds came from a vast anaerobic dead/dying zone 
that evolved on Pangea's equatorial region -- as a result of a massive 
fluorishing of Life that came from the easy availability of energies at that 
time. The life-forms that fluorished in that environment gave their lives 
into creating higher-level (energy packaging) hydrocarbon bonds that our 
life-form is now releasing, eventually, back into space as waste heat. We are 
not special.


Guilt driven by ethereal or unrealized altruism needs to be replaced by 
active awareness and actions that the species is capable of. I doubt the 
capabilities of our species are any more than any other in the ability to 
alter the fundamentals of Life. Consume available energy until it is gone, 
then pass away. At best, offer ones own body as sustenance for others to gain 
from, for a time, until they too shall pass... etc.

What is said there, I've been writing into a practice-based curriculum at 
http://ecosa.org -- the idea of systems-thinking approaches to holistic 
un-mastery of the biosphere that we are merely transitory parts of. I 
fundamentally do not like the concept of design, though, as it pre-supposes 
changing that which flows around us. Maybe an adaptive, consciousness-raised 
going-with-the-flow ... sensual improvisation that would include, perhaps, 
the removal of our selves from living viability. If this approach was 
wide-scale enough, the population drop would start the process of a 
post-human re-balancing of the planet's dynamic equilibrium.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Accelerationism

2016-04-24 Thread Alan Sondheim


Hi Pall,

Here's the crux of the problem:

" whilst we cannot predict the precise result of our actions, we can 
determine probabilistically likely ranges of outcomes. What must be 
coupled to such complex systems analysis is a new form of action: 
improvisatory and capable of executing a design through a practice which 
works with the contingencies it discovers only in the course of its 
acting, in a politics of geosocial artistry and cunning rationality. A 
form of abductive experimentation that seeks the best means to act in a 
complex world."


-- but "precise" is what is needed. Note: with fungi, almost all of them 
are still unknown, unclassified - yet the 'woodnet' of forests which 
relies on them for carbon etc. transport - is absolutely critical. the 
instrumentality described here won't do, either will "cunning rationality" 
- what's absolutely necessary is a form of declerationism if you will, 
again, one that _listens_ environmentally. as you know, even deforestation 
is increasing rapidly, 'bushmeat' has critically endangerd almost every 
primate on the planet except ourselves (so far); something slow is 
necessary to understand and combat these things. when I read acc. texts - 
and this is surely my own shortcoming here - I don't find listening; I 
find rhetorical responses.


How do you deal with "geosocial artistry" without understand ocean 
currents and the carbon cycle? This is the problem. The world is speaking 
to us, in a sense (sorry for the poetics), and we're just speaking _back._

You know well that the diff. between this and the Perm. for example is 
this is the result of a particular species running amuck. And with 40-50 % 
of ocean life scheduled to disappear, etc. as a result of climate, 
microspherules, etc., the situation is a mess. Yes, there will be 
something afterwords. But we're slaughterers trashing the planet, and for 
me that's unacceptable.

Acceleration, in mechanical physics, is the result of the application of 
directed (vector) energy to a body. It is a quantity -- 
meters-per-second-per-second (how fast am I going faster!) -- that results in 
ever-increasing velocity -- meters-per-second (how fast am I going?). 
Acceleration cannot occur without an ever-increasing energy input to the 
system. Velocity can be maintained with a steady-state energy input. Stasis, 
death, requires no energy input.


In a system with finite energy, acceleration has a limit, as does velocity.

We are not destroying the planet, we are temporarily altering the local 
energy balance. We are merely another expression of Life on the planet. Doing 
its thing. Pulsing, expanding temporarily.


Acceleration occurs in the presence of locally excessive eneergy. This is 
demonstrated at many scales in living systems where there is an energy 
excess. When that energy is entropically dispersed through a combination of 
expansion/growth, it slows down...


Pulsing (temporal, spatial) is a regular feature in bio-systems.

When we fixate on particular material manifestations of Life (as in a 
particular species), we miss the fact that Life is a continuous feature of 
the planet, and will continue long after we are gone *no matter what we do*. 
In my mind, the fixation on the material is what brings us to the hubris of 
the Anthropocene. Which, okay, plutonium makes a fine geo-marker. But what 
about the traces of Life from the Late Carboniferous? Talk about geo-marker, 
and Life leaving traces! The huge Applachian coal beds are the remains of 
Life at that time -- accelerated based on temperate climates (Appalachia was 
at the Equator), and abundant energy sources. And it altered the chemistry of 
the planet...


So it goes.

jh

PS -- as for all the preparatory conceptualizing on the word 
'accelerationism' -- it seems mostly to be a symbolic discussion that has 
little to do with the real world except as simply another 'ism' to be 
discussed ad infinitum. if it cannot be connected to the real world, what's 
the point? Maybe we need to calculate how much carbon is emitted from 'The 
Cloud' each time we email the word.


PPS -- I heartily support the concept of listening in any and all contexts. 
It has the effect of healing many problems!

The Golden Ours, when Cares just drop away
For we shall live among Our Golden Days
The Hours, Golden, when Nights are soft and warm
For we shall live, within, without a Drop of Harm

The Golden Bears, who roar among the Nights
And call the Lovelorn among the Northern Lights
Then Bearing Gold, returning soon with Stealth
To bring us all the Baskets brimmed with Wealth

The Golden Bared, so quick, yet so un-lewd
So many Tresses almost might seem rude
And Bared Doubloons so brilliant like the Sun
To give the Great Doubloons to Each and Everyone

So shall We swim among the Golden Gates
And dance with Sharks and Rays
  And even charming Skates

[NetBehaviour] Verizon strike

2016-04-14 Thread Alan Sondheim



Verizon Strike

http://www.alansondheim.org/verizon.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/verizon.mp4


From CNN Money -


36,000 Verizon workers have walked off the job Wednesday after
failing to reach a new labor agreement.

This is the largest strike in the United States since Verizon
workers last walked off the job in 2011, according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics. That strike involved 45,000 workers.

Most of the striking workers service the company's landline
phone business and FiOS broadband network -- not the much larger
Verizon Wireless network. They have gone without a contract
since August, and their union, the Communication Workers of
America, says it is fighting to get Verizon to come to the table
with a better offer.

The union's list of complaints is a long one: Verizon has
outsourced 5,000 jobs to workers in Mexico, the Philippines and
the Dominican Republic. Verizon is hiring more low-wage,
non-union contractors, the union says.

"The main thing is that's it's taking good-paying jobs and
taking them away from the American public," said Ken Beckett, a
technical telecommunications associate for Verizon and union
board member with 1101 CWA, as he picketed with colleagues
outside a Verizon office in Manhattan.
verizon protests 041316
Union members picketed outside Verizon's central office for
midtown Manhattan. Their chief complaint? Outsourcing 5,000 jobs
to Mexico, the Philippines and the Dominican Republic.

The union also claims Verizon won't negotiate with people who
work in Verizon stores and is closing call centers. And Verizon
is asking workers to work out of state, away from their homes,
for months at a time.

Meanwhile, the union says Verizon is cutting costs as its
profits have soared.

"Verizon's corporate greed isn't just harming workers' families,
it's hurting customers as well," the CWA said in a statement.

It's true that Verizon continues to post record profit, but most
of that is coming from its wireless business. The "wireline"
business that most CWA workers serve is in decline.

Wireline sales have been steadily falling over the past several
years. Last year sales fell by nearly 2%, and Verizon lost 1.4
million voice customers.

To help make up for the losses, Verizon continues to offload
some of its wireline assets, and it has been offshoring some of
its workers overseas. The company says it saved $300 million in
employee costs in 2015.

Still, Verizon managed to post an $8.9 billion operating profit
in its wireline business last year. That was down slightly from
2014, but not by much.

a miniature ghichak similar to the larger one we gave to the
National Music Museum, but less ornamented. it's very difficult
to play, given the setup. here are two pieces which sound
strange (and, i think, wonderful). they're extremely high-
pitched. bowing is traditional; i like the intensity, harmonics,
and fascinating timbres in the second part of the piece. the
strings aren't pressed to the neck, but touched above or on the
side. the plucking piece is a bit traditional, although not for
the ghichak; again, the strings aren't pressed down. thanks
greatly to Mitchell Clark for the ghichak; these instruments
are rare. i think it's from Balochistan; the decoration seems
from that area, but i could very well be wrong.

useless flailing. my basic rule: that there are infinities of
space and time and universe utterly cut off from us, where
speculation is the only myth, a free-for-all of the imagination,
a lie. that's where dead narratives go: to tell a story is to
lie, to do nothing, another lie, to tell a lie, another story.

a moment or a movement of writing under or within the chaos of
effacement, for something surely has created these words? in
this order? whose order has already disappeared? in the future?
in a previous time? among times? temporalities? don't escape;
there's nothing to escape to; nothing has occurred.

what follows or precedes, is no condition, no conditional, no

anonymity is the fundamental flux of existence. into the future,
one writes, now, under conditions of erasure. this is the
chiasmus of presencing within codification and raster.

annihilation: to the limit! has always already occurred; we just
weren't aware of it.
Mon Apr 11 12:50:20 EDT 2016

abandonment is the condition of life. species and planets are
abandoned, territories are always under contestation, formed on
the remnants of organic debris. to be abandoned means there was
once 'comfort and a home' - another misrecognition by dead eyes,
misrecognition _in fact_ by the dead. think of abandonment
without an origin, without that imaginary - then you,
temporarily and again under erasure, have it.
Mon Apr 11 12:52:32 EDT 2016

nothing one writes is now; there is no 'one' writing, no
communal writing, only temporary coagulations, cicatrix
remnants. despair is an illusion, hope as well. there are no
new/s and old/s, no newer and older, no progress, only
progression. the sign itself is that of annihilation - of the
sign, of referent, of coding and decoding, of digitalanalogic
and analogicdigital. with matter, it doesn't matter. what
appears to matter is the evanescence of strange attractors.
Mon Apr 11 12:55:30 EDT 2016

writing _here_ is non-writing, to write oneself into existence
is the simultaneity of writing oneself out of existence, not
writing at all. anomie is a true state and the truth of the
state. again, it is fundamental to abandon abandonment - and,
for that _matter,_ the subjunctive itself.
Mon Apr 11 12:57:00 EDT 2016

to breath in and through this is to do oneself the favor of
emptiness, no enlightenment along the way, no way. the
insipidity of being conscious is the tawdry revelation that it's

economics, push the barriers back towards unascertainable and

introjected into and from the past and future. move the words
around as you may; nothing is being said here. it's as if there
were nothing _sayable_ in fact.

debris is never beyond debris, never within debris; the
character of debris is its infinitude. never a remnant of (which
implies abandonment), always a part-object as if it were
yearning for totality, another story.

the only return is that of eternity. a new rule: nothing has
anything to do with us.

and another story following suit, another silenced, an other
silenced, an other silence, an other, exactly the same.

*//glitch phenomena in local host/abandonment of habitus/
continuous depradation/disappearance and collapse. first
part of demi.mp4:analysis/second part:the journey//*

Years ago I worked on the idea of a general 'rule' that there
were irretrievably unrelated domains in the universe/multiverse,
regions which were inherently, deeply, out of touch, Bell's
theorem or not. I postulated an unknowable-by-any-means, even
though one might treat the 'law' paradoxically through a kind of
sophistic sleight-of-hand. I bring this up because in this and
every other virtual world, howsoever virtual might be defined,
there are such presences; one might think of them as eruptions,
but not eruptive signifiers of any sort. Technological and
scientific wonders appear daily; what I'm considering however
isn't such, nor commonplace, but elsewhere entirely, something
outside any conceivable mapping. Our images, helpless, provide
no guide. I can wish, and do, for a warmer world, one with even
a slightly recognizable habitus, but outside our construction,
there's nothing of the sort; as scientific knowledge gains,
ground, the elsewhere both recedes (as if technology succeeds)
and increases (as if instrumental reason fails. The failure is
our own, has more to do with psychology and the psychoanalytical
than with the world as such: a sociology is at work. And again,
elsewhere, the sociology loses, is at a loss, as if overstepping
its bounds.).

A demiurge or dramaturge returns to a scenario of creation in
which a happening occurs, an occurrence happens, in which flight
from her creation, or rather a garnered adieu, is her conceived
choice. What's there is here, an ordinary sky, nothing towards
or untoward the feet, nothing where beneath belief might be. She
believes that is not in her works. There is the matter of the
shudder or flashing realms of existence which are uncountable
and unaccountable. No matter the absence of matter. What is the
logic that clings to unknown laws?

[NetBehaviour] those people who i made when i made all people

2016-04-06 Thread Alan Sondheim



those people who i made when i made all people

http://www.alansondheim.org/oneofthem.png
http://www.alansondheim.org/bothofthem.png
(fractal paths)
http://www.alansondheim.org/thosepeople.mp4

of those people who try to live according to certain precepts
and 'those people' drained from the body. It's all my fault. I
killed them all. A Jew_ is overlooked in order to reorganize us
as _those people,_ but the machine is going just outside the
studio or why are they on the right side of the heavy traffic on
the westside highway? Why are they? He knows they should be
tortured and he tortures them, he tortures us. We'll still
starve - but the image will be ok. I'm one of those people out
there who are against your thinking-type and even I'm considered
obdurate, stubborn, uncompromising, and look where it gets me?
The scythe cuts through the flesh, scribbles dribble the
semblance of a human body, we too often forget there are others.
Everything must be considered and with the increase in warfare,
temperature, population, weaponry, disease, and pollution, one
imagines there's so little time left, and time oozes as fractals
draw _themselves_ across the bedraggled landscape[...]
