Re: [NetBehaviour] OOQ – Object-Oriented-Questions.

2011-12-30 Thread Yann Le Guennec
hello,

yep, not sure OOP¨has something to do with OOP


cite Graham Harman

“Object-Oriented Philosophy”

This term is my own coinage, dating to 1999. (If anyone used the phrase 
earlier than that, I was unaware of it but would be happy to credit it 
if it is brought to my attention.)

(...)

In short, object-oriented philosophy involves a fairly general set of 
minimal standards that leaves a good bit of room for personal variation. 
You can agree with Whitehead rather than me and still be an 
object-oriented philosopher. My own version has not just one, but two 
basic principles:

1. Individual entities of various different scales (not just tiny quarks 
and electrons) are the ultimate stuff of the cosmos.

2. These entities are never exhausted by any of their relations or even 
by their sum of all possible relations. Objects withdraw from relation.

 People are not black-boxes. We are not simple (or even complex)
 instances of a class of some kind. OOP's is a very powerful means for
 creating meaning and action in machines and artificial systems but as
 a metaphor for human beingness it seems too neat to account for the
 complexity and multi-valent connectivity that exists between us. We
 are messy creatures without clear boundaries to individuate us. Our
 definition is probably less about things (or objects) than dynamic
 relations as flux.

 OOQ – Object-Oriented-Questions.

 Jussi Parikka

 I can’t claim that I know too much about object oriented
 philosophy. It’s often more about my friends or colleagues
 talking about it, enthusiastically for or against. Indeed, I have
 been one of those who has at best followed some of the arguments
 but not really dipped too deeply into the debates – which from
 early on, formed around specific persons, specific arguments, and
 a specific way of interacting.

 Hence, let me just be naïve for a second, and think aloud a
 couple of questions:

 -  I wonder if there is a problem with the notion of object in
 the sense that it still implies paradoxically quite a
 correlationist, or lets say, human-centred view to the world; is
 not the talk of “object” something that summons an image of
 perceptible, clearly lined, even stable entity – something that
 to human eyes could be thought of as the normal mode of
 perception. We see objects in the world. Humans, benches, buses,
 cats, trashcans, gloves, computers, images, and so forth. But
 what would a cat, bench, bus, trashcan, or a computer “see”, or
 sense?

 The programming dimension seems to be at the heart of the argument.

 There are various different versions of OOP:

 In particular, multimethod-based OOP doesn't require that objects own or
 contain the actions that can be performed upon them:

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

 And there are more modern programming paradigms than OOP:

 OOP is certainly still current in programming, but there are other
 programming paradigms that mesh better with the philosophy of
 mathematics at least.

[NetBehaviour] website + statement updates

2011-03-03 Thread Yann Le Guennec
My current artistic research explores the relationship between space and
time of places and space and time of information, or how our perceptions
of one and another are transformed through these relationships. This
research takes the shape of online digital pictures, photographs changed
by programs on the web at the time of their consultation. The nature of
these programs and variables defines fields of variations, image matrix
in which unfold unstable images.

Online devices for production of images are at the intersection of the
perceived environment and data traffic on digital communication
networks. The images reflect changes in perception brought about by
technological change that accompanies a possible reconsideration of the
nature of space and time. The images become the place of interference
and interaction between the local and the remote, past and future, the
abstract and the concrete, the virtual and the actual, real and
fictional, presence and absence.

 /Virtual Sit-In for October 7th Day of Action for Public
 Education///

 In solidarity with the October 7th Day of Action for Public Education
 we call for a virtual sit-in of the websites of the Office of the
 President of the University of California and the UC Regents. This
 virtual sit-in will take place for all of October 7th, from 12:00AM
 the night before to 11:59PM the night of.

 *We need hosting for this action. Please contact any of us if you can
 provide hosting for the html files for the action.*

 Recent actions taken on March 4th by students, faculty, staff and
 allies around the world were joined online by a virtual sit-in. The
 swift and violent response to the virtual sit-in from the UC
 administration and police against Ricardo Dominguez only reveal the
 effectiveness of the action and must be seen as part of a larger
 strategy of the criminalization of resistance including the arrest of
 hundreds of faculty, students and staff around the world who are
 struggling to redefine what the future of education will be. The UC
 continues to make efforts to expand the
 prison-military-university-industrial complex in the face of demands,
 occupations, strikes and blockades by those willing to put their
 bodies, physically and digitally, on the line for a better future for
 education.

 By organizing this action, in the tradition of ECD as a distributed
 tactic as performed by the Electrohippies, the Federation of Random
 Action and the borderlands Hacklab, we are demonstrating that the
 hydra has a million heads and Yudof, the Regents and their police
 cannot stop Electronic Civil Disobedience by putting their boot on the
 neck of one man. A virtual sit-in is a mass action by thousands of
 people and we will not be stopped.

 More virtual strikes can be expected until:

 * The budget cuts across the UC system are turned back
 * Those laid off in the past year are rehired
 * Charges are dropped and investigations ended against all of those
 arrested for struggling for the future of their education

 Join the actions in the streets, the campuses and the university
 buildings if you can. If you want to join the virtual sit-in, go here

 That's terrible.
 
 The philosophy dept. have shown and continue to show far more business

[NetBehaviour] [Fwd: Re: [-empyre-] Process as paradigm]

2010-05-19 Thread Yann Le Guennec


Hello dear Empyreans (and NetBehaviorists),

systems are open;
entropy is a mistake;
boundaries are in the mind (of the 'modelizer'= someone making a model);
every process is part of n systems;
quantum physics is a biface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biface);
we build tools we need, to prove what we think;
we use tools someone built (some day), to prove what we thought (some day);

but ... i would still like to know what is this: a 'generative image';

http://www.laboralcentrodearte.org/en/714-catalogue (PDF p: 55)

Do you mean a picture can generate something, or, an image is
necessarily a mind projection ? in the future (unforeseen) ?


best,
yann

[NetBehaviour] About Networked Painting

2010-03-18 Thread Yann Le Guennec
(well, i try another reply strategy in order to allow this post to go
through the list, let's test...)


In reply to Curt Cloninger :
http://www.netbehaviour.org/pipermail/netbehaviour/20100316/014853.html

Yes, that's for me a very important point to address. In several works
(1) i use the IP address of the spectator to compose the picture, so the
picture is unique according to this spectator. The picture takes place
only where the spectator is looking at it. From this point of view
(reception, uniqueness of the picture), it seems that it has more
to do with painting than with photography or algorithmic generative art.

This is conceptually ok if i don't save generated pictures and show them
to others. It's a another possibility, but it changes the relation
between the spectator and the picture, and as a consequence, the nature
of the picture. 'Networked painting' is a way to explore this
relational/interaction space between users/spectators and pictures.

Re: [NetBehaviour] About Networked Painting

2010-03-18 Thread Yann Le Guennec
Hi Curt,

I think you're absolutely right, and i will use the terms networked 
picture. i don't really need to use the word painting, i finally 
think it's more interesting to keep eventual references to painting more 
in the background. So here is my new short statement:

 My work is about distances and convergences between the analog and the 
digital, between the virtual and the actual, between abstraction and 
instantiation processes. I make networked pictures. They are composed 
and produced online by networked devices. All devices are built on 
almost the same model: visual sensors (eg: photography, stills from 
video) are taking pictures in an environment, these pictures are then 
transformed by online softwares and finally they are shown to the 
spectator. Variations in this main model allow each device to address 
more specific problematics in the field of networked pictures. 

Thanks everyone for this fruitful thread.

best,
yann



Curt Cloninger a écrit :
 Hi Yann,
 
 My question still stands regarding what is gained and what is lost by 
 using the term painting to describe this work. [As Alan points out, 
 the terms gain and loss are problematic/subjective (as all terms 
 are), but that doesn't mean they are pragmatically useless or 
 critically irrelevant, particularly when posed to you as a practicing 
 artist.] In your description of the work below, you use the word 
 picture rather than painting. I think you are right to use the word 
 picture rather than painting -- these pictures seem better 
 understood as digital photographs (modified algorithmically according 
 to network input). So what is gained and what is lost by calling them 
 networked paintings as opposed to something like networked 
 photographs?
 
 +++
 
 Just by way of comparison, here is a great project of what might be 
 termed generative drawing:
 http://noemata.net/time().mt_rand/gallery.php
 artist statement here:
 http://noemata.net/time().mt_rand/gallery.php?i=text
 create your own drawings here:
 http://noemata.net/time().mt_rand/larding.php
 curate and sell your own drawings (and the  drawings of others) here:
 http://noemata.net/time().mt_rand/curator.php
 
 Regarding the above work, technically...
 There is an amount of source material created by the artist (a 
 database of scanned analog doodles).
 There is a generative environment with parameters established by the artist.
 The user is allowed to input certain variables into that environment.
 The result is a collaborative piece of work which is purposefully 
 situated within an online economy.
 
 The project above is fruitfully approached from a critical 
 perspective as drawing, but the artist also draws attention (by the 
 term larding) to Oulipo poetry and (by the title time().mt_rand), 
 to computer time-stamping procedures. To me, the para-art language 
 that the artist uses to contextualize this piece of work foregrounds 
 salient, relevant aspects of the work, both in terms of the art 
 history of drawing and the contemporary new media theory of 
 computational, networked, interactive art (not to mention issues of 
 curation, web 2.0 rebloggability as a form of curation, salability of 
 the art object, online economies, originality of the artist, 
 uniqueness of the art object). In other words, the language that 
 the artist uses to talk about the work is very much aware of what the 
 work itself is doing in the world (on+off-line). More is gained than 
 is lost by this kind of para-art language.
 
 +++
 
 My critique is not of your work. Your project itself interestingly 
 foregrounds the unique/original reception of a single piece of 
 work, by encoding elements of that unique reception into the 
 singular piece of work itself. It is very much related to 
 Benjamin's observations regarding the difference between viewing a 
 unique/original auratic object (be it a panting or a stationary 
 sculpture) and viewing a mechanically reproduced object (be it a 
 print, an analog photograph, a movie, a video, a digital photograph). 
 My hesitance is with your use of the word painting in the language 
 of your artist statment. Given the work you are describing, that word 
 painting seems too underdetermined and vague. It stakes too broad a 
 claim. It opens up all sorts of tangential cans of worms (flatness, 
 brushstroke, materials, abstraction vs. figuration, subjectivity of 
 the artists eye vs. objectivity of the camera lens, etc.)  that the 
 work itself is not (yet) opening up. Undoubtedly painting is useful 
 in other contexts to desecribe other pieces of new media work (some 
 of Mark Napier's work comes to mind as very painterly in terms of 
 his treatment of code and in terms of the texture of his resultant 
 visuals). But painting as applied to this work seems to lose more 
 than it gains.
 
 Best,
 Curt

[NetBehaviour] A statement

2010-03-15 Thread Yann Le Guennec
My work is about the evolution of painting in a networked environment, 
both physical and digital, present and distant, in time and space. I 
make what i call variable paintings. They address classical themes 
such as Landscape or Still life. These paintings are not paintings in 
the sense of concrete objects, but digital pictures produced online by 
networked devices. This approach does not exclude the possibility of 
making physical objects from digital pictures, but the composition of 
these pictures is made online and should primarily be seen online, for 
example projected in an exhibition space connected to the internet. All 
devices are built on almost the same model. Visual sensors (eg: 
photography, stills from video) are taking pictures in an environment,

So according to what you've been told, the good one (terminology) would 
be a digital one, using terminology specific to technology (coding, 
networks,...) ?

What i see in the way you use words , and in your work, is a convergence 
between painting and cinema (as references to themselves), and this 
convergence occurs in digital networks. Maybe that's what we are 
talking/writing about: the space and time where we live.

There's something occuring at a greater scale, outside and in the 
artworld, it's the need for a flat screen on the wall to put some 
pictures. That's also what painting is about, not the screen, but the 
need for it. According to our vision of history, it was already there in 
Lascaux (for example)

Can we consider that painting, according to notion of surface and 
medium, could be light on a wall (for example), i guess that the good 
response is 'no'. So, there are no troubles, there are enough machines 
today to put acrilyc on canvas from a digital picture. So where is the 
point... why is there such a difference between digital picture as an 
art, photography as an art or painting as an art...in the making process 
? (see Richter's Overpainted photographs, and i only mention here still 
pictures). I must say i don't know, but i think that our relation to 
pictures and images, is evolving with digital networks and that all of 
these art forms and standards may be reviewed to better understand the 
world we live in, where it comes from, and where it can go.

Ideology by W. J. Thomas Mitchell )



martin mitchell a écrit :
 Hi...
 
 Lets establish what the word painting traditionally means  copied
 from Wikepedia:- Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment,
 color or other medium[1] to a surface (support base). In art, the
 term describes both the act and the result, which is called a
 painting. Paintings may have for their support such surfaces as
 walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay or concrete.
 Paintings may be decorated with gold leaf, and some modern paintings
 incorporate other materials including sand, clay, and scraps of
 paper.
 
 Painting is a mode of expression and the forms are numerous. Drawing,
 composition or abstraction and other aesthetics may serve to manifest
 the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner.
 Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in a still
 life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, be loaded with
 narrative content, symbolism, emotion or be political in nature.
 
 --- OK One might establish a
 difference between use of a brush or pen to the word 'painting' that
 could contain human action of physical use of paint this is different
 from use of term digital painting which perhaps does not exist
 physically, it being a digital image which might be created with use
 of digital brush or pen.

I completely agree with your contribution. We are playing with semantic 
fields referring to some classical art practices, and doing so, we are 
trying to see and understand what can be art today, how can it be 
reshaped by networked practices. I hope, and think, it's still an open 
field. We are jumping around the lazy brown (refers to XX century 
explosion of arts forms ;-)

 If we discuss something coming from a discourse of image making then it's
 practically impossible to avoid such language. Unless we enter the realm of
 computational image making where process is important and we can talk about
 algorithmic, computational and network issues. Platform studies
 (http://platformstudies.com/ ) for an extreme example anyone?
 
 To fully enable a digital discourse we should be using terms like rasterise,
 vectorise, state change and compute. There are practictioners and
 commentators who do. I have no problem with either discourse and have
 dabbled in both software and painterly linguistic camps.
 
 Digital art is also a contentious term. Artists who use digital
 technologies, claiming to be digital artists without any reference or
 acknowledgement however small, be it critical or explicit, that their work
 actually engages with digital discourse who merely adopt software as a
 transparent tool is an issue. Remembering the amount of applications from
 traditional video artists to a significant Media Arts festival a few years
 ago; of course they could be part of it, they were all digital artists
 because they use Final Cut Pro.
 
 I'm not saying anyone on this list fits these categories but we are in a
 pluralistic and dialogic arena. Terms are interchangeable and useful when
 necessary.

 So according to what you've been told, the good one (terminology) would 
 be a digital one, using terminology specific to technology (coding, 
 networks,...) ?
 
 What i see in the way you use words , and in your work, is a convergence 
 between painting and cinema (as references to themselves), and this 
 convergence occurs in digital networks. Maybe that's what we are 
 talking/writing about: the space and time where we live.
 
 There's something occuring at a greater scale, outside and in the 
 artworld, it's the need for a flat screen on the wall to put some 
 pictures. That's also what painting is about, not the screen, but the 
 need for it. According to our vision of history, it was already there in 
 Lascaux (for example)

 Concerning dbCinema, I've been told that my use of the terms 'brush'
 and 'nib' and 'canvas' are inappropriate. Because they situate the
 piece in a painterly scenario that isn't the right one.

 But, given what dbCinema does, that language is actually the most
 useful language, it seems to me. It provides people with the most
 easily understandable and relevant terminology to start to understand
 what dbCinema does and how it works.

 Hello,


 Thanks for your feedback, maybe you're right. I'm thinking about 
 'painting' not from a technical point of view, involving some defined
  kinds of support and materials, but from a more conceptual one, as
 an historical and pictural practice in art. From this point of view,
 there is no reason to not talk about 'networked painting' like we can
 talk about 'oil painting', the technology is different, but i think
 we act in the same artistic field.

 Furthermore, maybe the digital revolution is the moment in time and
  space where 'painting' as an art practice will be more profoundly 
 re-defined. In fact, i'm more interested in confronting and opening 
 concepts and words than strictly refer to them in a predefined and 
 closed signification. So, it's an open discussion and set of
 thoughts.

  the deadweight of an ossified classical heritage. Its immense 
 combinatorial capacity facilitates the systematic investigation of an

[NetBehaviour] Paradigmatic Landscapes - update

2009-08-19 Thread yann le guennec
What we call a 'syntagm' is a sequence of 6 small pictures relating to a 
basic set of pictures. The syntagm is modified through interactions 
between spectators and what we call the 'paradigm'. Each time a 
spectator (or any entity connected to the work) access the paradigm 
through the syntagm, the syntagm is modified. Thus it is possible for 
the spectator as individual to be conscious about his action on the 
syntagm, but these possible observations can be messed up by the 
collective process. Many spectators can act quite simultaneously on the 
paradigm and doing so modify syntagm in a way that blurs the observation 
of the individual process.

Changelog:

 * 17 Aug 2009: v1, implementation of the paradigmatic axis 
(algorithm of picture generation).
 * 17 Aug 2009: v2, feedback from the paradigm to the syntagm, 
defined as a sequence.
 * 19 Aug 2009: v2.1, syntagms separation, file structure update.

hi Andreas,

 Well try looking for axiologic depraved icons maybe you will find  
 more :)

nope, nothing...  ;-)

 Anyways I do not think the subject Is underexplored rather try to  
 search more explicit phrases like axiology( to evaluate the qualities  
 of esthetics and the attachtments thereof in artistic expressions like  
 for instance paintings.)

thanks! i'll try that, maybe in french as it begins to be a bit complex 
for me in english

 I myself am very involved in this subject and always desperately  
 avoiding 'meaning' in and towards my art production.

yep, i observe that meaning has an ability to dissolve itself in the 
search for paradigms.

I'm currently testing a whole new approach to my works, based on 
picture/image as a result of my global practice involving software, 
installation, photography. The website aims to function as a gateway 
able to generate localized exhibitions. First implementation of this 
approach is called 'Times, Things, Spaces // Triptych of Synthetic

Re: [NetBehaviour] Internet of Things....Research OpportunitiesonEPSRC funded Project]

2009-06-26 Thread yann le guennec
Well, i think it will be a bit difficult for me to explain my point of 
view in english... but  let's try...

At a certain level, this question is about paradigms. Scientific 
research is based on some rules, including the ability to reproduce 
previous obtained and published results. So it is for experimental and 
physical science research, but also for mathematic, biology, et.. a 
researcher should be able to reproduce a demonstration, according to the 
fact that mathematic concepts can not suffer any semantic ambiguity. 
insuch a context, it's quite usefull to cite authors of previous 
experiments as contextual informations, kinf od metadata allowing to 
link works and reseach in a corpus.

So it is in 'soft sciences', or 'humans sciences' like psychology, 
sociology, etc... concepts, results and experiments have to be 
referenced (authors, years) in order to disambiguate them and compose 
the corpus of the domain.

All this scientific domains, more or less formal, ...are domains, with 
some kinds of borders, dominant theories, specific concepts, etc...they 
are articulated on reseach paradigms at the epistemic level.

 From my point of view, art (and in a way also design) is 'epistemic in 
itself', it means art generates as many paradigms that are necessary to 
the diversity of forms and expressions. Art is not a domain because it 
does not need to self-reference itself, and does not need to be logicaly 
articulated in a corpus. It can be the case for some kind of practices, 
in some artistics subcategories, but it's not a formal rule for its 
existence.

So there is a big gap at this level between art + design and science + 
research. I'm also interested in this question, and i saw some people in 
France (mostly in art and design school) are trying sometimes to define 
a field for artistic research or design research, that does not yet 
exist. But if it exist one day, i don't think that it can be initiated 
only on the basis of imported paradigms. I better imagine that art 
practicies are able to propose other paradigms for research and thinking.

(well, i hope this is understandable in some ways...)

yann

 Yes, I am being ironic (to a degree).
 
 In formal research you cannot cite sources from unrecognised authors.
  Authors have to be identifiable and their work generally peer
 reviewed. Sources such as the Encyclopedia Brittanica and Wikipedia
 are not allowed to be used. It does not mean that these sources are
 poor – just that the information they provide has not been verfied.
 This restriction can be annoying but is understandable. I often use
 Wikipedia for initial background data-mining, but when it comes to
 using references I go to the original texts (which might be mentioned
 in Wikipedia) and check them prior to citing them. When reading
 somebody’s research you want to know their sources are reliable. If
 you can’t trust their sources you can’t trust the research. It could
 be anything. Same with journalism. If I am reading a piece of
 investigative journalism and discover the evidence was unverified I
 would lose trust in the author (unless they have presented the text
 as an opinion piece).
 
 The reason this thread arrived at this theme was the posting about 
 research opportunities into the creative applications of social 
 technologies at eca. The team undertaking that work is made up of 
 artists, architects, social scientists and informaticians. The
 methods they will employ will include those familiar to artists and
 other creative practitioners, but undertaken alongside and
 contextualised by methods from the social and physical sciences.
 These methods require that researchers ensure rigorous proof of their
 evidence and the criteria for their anaylsis. That is no big deal. It
 just means the work has to be done openly, transparently, everything
 recorded and all original material retained for peer assessment. This
 is not foolproof (there are plenty of examples of poor science
 around) but nobody has proposed a better system yet. It is unusual
 for artistic work to be undertaken in this context but not novel.
 Other’s have done it. It often leads to surprising outcomes,
 especially for the scientists.
 
 As for Bruce Sterling, I find his (non-fiction) writing 
 techno-determinist, utopian and evangelical in nature. What I have
 seen of his work appears to be oriented towards opinion pieces rather
 than research. However, I have to admit I’ve not read him much so I
 could be wrong.

 Simon

Hi all,


This is a great project. Spimes are not intrinsically designed for 
surveillance , and as Simon noticed 'The information in information 
technology always travels both ways'.

I also work on some 'imaginary spimes' and i think that this term coined 
by Bruce Sterling is a powerfull operative concept, for art and design.


There is also a Spime design workshop in Second Life monday, june 29 
at 21H CET, you cand take part by registering here (it's free):

 *TOTeM*
 
 “Spimes are manufactured objects whose informational support is so 
 overwhelmingly extensive and rich that they are regarded as material
  instantiations of an immaterial system. Spimes begin and end as
 data. They’re virtual objects first and actual objects second.” Bruce
 Sterling, Shaping Things, (2005)
 
 The TOTeM project is located within the emerging technical and
 cultural phenomenon known as ‘The Internet of Things’. The term is
 attributed to the Auto-ID research group at MIT in 1999, and was
 explored in depth by the International Telecommunication Union who
 published a report bearing the same name at the United Nations net
 summit in 2005. The term, ‘Internet of things’, refers to the
 technical and cultural shift that is anticipated as society moves
 towards a ubiquitous form of computing in which every device is ‘on’,
 and every device is connected in some way to the Internet. The
 specific reference to ‘things’ refers to the concept that every new
 object manufactured will also be able to part of this extended
 Internet, because they will have been tagged and indexed by the 
 manufacturer during production. It is also envisaged that consumers
 will have the ability to ‘read’ the tags through the use of mobile
 ‘readers’ and use the information connected to the object, to inform
 their purchase, use and disposal of an object.
 
 The implications for the Internet of Things upon production and 
 consumption are tremendous, and will transform the way in which
 people shop, store and share products. The analogue bar code that has
 for so long been a dumb encrypted reference to a shop’s inventory
 system, will be superseded by an open platform in which every object
 manufactured will be able to be tracked from cradle to grave, through
 manufacturer to distributor, to potentially every single person who
 comes into contact with it following its purchase. Further still,
 every object that comes close to another object, and is within range
 of a reader, could also be logged on a database and used to find
 correlations between owners and applications. In a world that has
 relied upon a linear chain of supply and demand between manufacturer
 and consumer via high street shop, the Internet of Things has the
 potential to transform how we will treat objects, care about their
 origin and use them to find other objects. If every new object is
 within reach of a reader, everything is searchable and findable,
 subsequently the shopping experience may never be the same, and the
 concept of throwing away objects may become a thing of the past as
 other people find new uses for old things.
