[NetBehaviour] A [[Non]] Guardian Age, Chapter 1

[mez breeze]

"The first chapter of *A [[Non]] Guardian Age*, a web-based remix by Mez
Breeze is now available
<http://www.futureofthebook.org.au/2015/07/a-non-guardian-age-chapter-1/>.

This remix takes as its source material *The Guardian*, a novel by Anna
Maria Bunn from 1838. A gothic romance and comedy of manners (seriously), *The
Guardian *is the first Australian novel published on the mainland.
Originally published anonymously it was subsequently attributed as the only
published work by Bunn.

The first chapter is an assumed dialogue between author/remixer and
reader, presuming your reaction and preparing you for what’s to come.

Also, there’s sounds.

Keep checking back here at the if:book site
<http://www.futureofthebook.org.au/blog> and follow #RoMD
<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RoMD&src=typd> for updates. Chapters will
be released weekly throughout August."

 I am obsessively committed to my blog:

 And have been for about 10 years.

 Why? Not so much because of the social nature of the medium, but because
 it is a database. It is my journal, my personal record, my own
 repository
 of ideas and media. My blog is a springboard for endless project ideas,
 most of which will never be realized, but they are documented with a
 system of taxonomies that allows this endless torrent of ideas to be
 retrieved and reused.

 I have a great fear of forgetting: that ideas will simply disappear in
 the
 ether. It is why Ted Nelson helped conceive the Web. This, in my
 opinion,
 is the great crisis in an increasingly complex global information
 culture.
 As an artist with a blog I have some control over memory and access,

"The negative troll engages in deliberately illegal and/or damaging and
disruptive behaviour  with
highly destructive effects, such as online vandalism (like those intentionally
defacing RIP sites )
and continuous aggravation through comments designed as bait for responsive
targets (cyberbullying
).


There are those that think the act of trolling may also operate at a far
more innocuous level, originating from those with more positive intentions
or altruistic motivations. This troll version is termed the constructive
troll . The
constructive troll advocates social change through exposing establishments,
organisations and individuals they view as corrupt, deceptive, or criminal
. Constructive
trolling differs from negative trolling through its lack of malevolence
(think: Devil’s advocates or whistleblowers) with a deliberately funny, or
cheeky, emphasis
. Constructive
trolls may seek to bring attention to issues like the suppression of
freedom of information laws
,
covert censorship, or hypocrisies evidenced at a heavily-institutionalised
level (think: Wikileaks or the Occupy movement)..."

Wonderful Edward! Great stuff. I'll do some promo-ing of it as well when

You should do it Edward! Sounds like a great proj [I'm way over-committed

[NetBehaviour] Sidestepping the Known: A Loose Chronology of Meztext[ing]s

[mez breeze]

"*>>Beginnings: A Library, An ‘A’ and a ‘B’*

When I was in my late primary school years, I was shunted into an
accelerated reading program. This program was designed for kids who had
either outpaced their schoolmates in terms of reading ability, or who
whizzed through books [while still comprehending them] at a voracious rate.
As part of this program it was decided that I should be given special
privileges in order to join the primary public library. I was to be allowed
to borrow books intended for adult consumption.

When the day arrived to venture into ‘The Proper Library’ [as I’d
internally labelled it] I was determined to prove that I was just as mature
as the adults with whom I’d soon share borrowing privileges. I ventured
into the library foyer solo, with no adult chaperone. As I marched along
the hallway past ‘The Children’s Library’, the thought hit me: I had no
idea how to navigate this place. As I reached the front desk, my card was
prepared and waiting, but [probably due to understaffing] there were no
adults to show me the ropes. So, being the somewhat timid but determined
youngster I was, I marched directly between the first shelves of books I
saw. I had no idea what category of books huddled there.

I *was* aware [thankfully] of how books were organised in a library
setting. I knew that if I selected the first book on the top row, it would
be by an author starting with A. And so I grabbed the first three books
located there [that I could reach], all by an author I hadn’t ever heard
of: Brian Aldiss.

The section I had stumbled into was Science Fiction.

This simple act of selecting those books [written in a genre that would
soon become an enduring favourite] shifted something. My life trajectory
tilted. The tilt was subtle, but enough to make me realise that *this* was
the way to tackle life: head on, by marching into the hiccoughing unknown
with some type of fantastical accompaniment...

Re: [NetBehaviour] ello ello, what av we here then, an exclusive club for the digerati ?

[mez breeze]

Hi Roger,

I didn't respond to your truncated version of this on my Facebook post
about Ello, as I hope what you're suggesting doesn't apply to me. When I
received my Ello invite and joined, I *straight away* put a general callout
via 3 separate avenues for people who wanted an invite. There was no
artistic nepotism involved: I saved one invite for a friend, and all the
others went directly to people who responded.

Regards,
Mez

Urban Dictionary says it best: "spruik: Australian, pronounced 'sprook':
Using the human voice to promote an idea, goods or services to another

Thx Marc for this.

Great comments at ‘Hack The Art World’, and a fan-freaking-tastic
initiative overall. I found the comment written by James Bridle to be
extremely interesting - it reads as significant back-pedalling by James,
who was not only in the Barbican Show but also wrote an embarrassingly
sycophantic puff-piece in the Guardian newspaper spruiking the hell out of
it.

Re: [NetBehaviour] "the space"?

"You never know how much to ask for. Discussions about money are taboo
because we pretend that passion and creativity alone should pay the bills.
Some of the best events have “no budget”, and sometimes only the worst
events can make a career as an artist look painfully sustainable..." -

[NetBehaviour] Warning: No-Shame Plugs Incoming

[mez breeze]

Helloha NB Peeps,

Sending 2 quick plugs [1 announcement, 1 request], both
#PRISOMrelated:

1.  #PRISOM is now playable as part of The 2014 Vector Game + Art
Convergence Festival, a: "...participative, not-for-profit,
community-oriented initiative dedicated to showcasing contemporary
game-based artworks." #PRISOM is showing as part of the Impedance Festival
strand: "Impedance: Games + Resistance is an exhibition featuring works by
artists who use the medium of games to comment, reflect, and provoke.
Addressing the politics of surveillance, warfare, race, mass media and
propaganda, privacy , violence in games and media, and more, these works
challenge visitors to engage with difficult issues by interacting with
interactive installations, text adventure games, art games, and game
modifications." Get thee to Interaccess Arts right
nowif you're interested.

2. A poster we designed (concerning the Evolution of #PRISOM) has been
nominated for a Digital Humanities Award in the "Best DH visualization or
infographic" Category. Have a look at the poster and the other entries
here: http://dhawards.org/dhawards2013/voting and if you think our #PRISOM
poster deserves your vote, please scroll down and click on the completely
unsubtle "VOTE FOR DH AWARDS 2013" link at the bottom of the page. Thanks.

We now return to your regular NB List schedule

Chunks for your Support,
mez

I'm still [constantly] oscillating as to Moffat's overall take: it could be
unintentional part-wonder-crafting, part-new-Whovian-pandering, but it also
could just be slopping work overall.

So true. Plus with Sherlock he is free to re-imagine and adapt to his
creative hearts content, whereas with Dr Who the weight of the Dr Who
Canon/thread completion/dealing with the Regeneration retcon makes him
stumble.

—–[“The Time of The Doctor” SPOILERS (Sweetie) Alert]—–


On the 25th December 2013, Doctor Who received 12 new lives. In the episode
“The Time of The Doctor”, the current series showrunner, producer and lead
writer Stephen Moffat imbued the once-labelled as 11th [and now redubbed
the 12th, or even
13th]
Doctor a new regeneration cycle. In this episode filled with heavy-duty
retconned  plot threads, we see the
New [old] Who emerge.


>From a traditional Whovian perspective, there’s been substantial trouble
with Moffat’s version of a character who, like his regenerations, has
undergone substantial re-jigging as part of the entire franchise reboot,
many of which have been largely controversial. When Moffat plucked the Who
writing mantle from Russell T Davis, there was substantial concern that his
[then] largely episodic inflected story style wouldn’t be able to
adequately extend beyond flashy emotion-inducing viewer bait, complete with
thrill laden plot segments and incomplete long arc shifts where
foregrounding, consistent character development and plots worthy of the
previous writers were/are [mostly] abandoned.


In this pivotal episode, Moffat attempts to disassemble and reassemble
elements of the Who Canon in an effort to extend the longevity of the
franchise beyond the Doctor’s accepted and restricted Regeneration cycle.
The episode contains all the benchmarks we've come to expect from Moffat:
companions posited as disposable tools or eye-candy mannequins, story gaps
you could drive a TARDIS through and plot-hole-construction-gloss thrown
about almost randomly by the shiny bucketful. The result creates a type of
standard willing Suspension of
Disbeliefthat
only just lightly grips the edges of believability. Emotional key
points fall cheaply and wantonly [like the death of his handy
Cyberman-head-pal “Handles”, or the Doctor's promise to Clara that he'll
never abandon her again]. The rushed passage-of-time markers rub the viewer
in any manner of annoying ways, and flimsy self-referential exposition
becomes paramount when the contrived CGI effects fail to impress.


And yet, given all of the failings of this crucial episode, the emotional
reefing that Moffat does best still manages to evoke a type of stretched
wonder-thrall. Moffat discards [and has now for many, many episodes]
conventions that traditional Dr Who fans hold dear: Joseph Campbellesque
hero variables and
crucial sci-fi story elements are bypassed in order to cater for more
incrementally-oriented audience members used to absorbing their story
snippets through 2 minute YouTube blipverts or Tumblr-emulated focals.
Moffat knits together these contemporary absorption points via a method
that, instead of catering for narratives comprising sequential beginning,
middle and ends, seeks to harness the power of discrete narrative units.
These units merge techniques drawn from graphic novel variable truncation
to story-board framing, resulting in staggered story-time acceleration and
retconned plot explosions designed for nonlinear attention spans.


Moffat may not be the great grand hope for old-timey-whiney Whovians [ahem]
who yearn for believable extensions to Who chronology beyond an established
and pre-mapped regenerative timeline. But through the New Who incarnation,
Moffat instead offers us an extension of a well-worn and much-loved
character, one that at least utilises the very methods that a contemporary
audience regularly deploys to maintain a narratives beyond standard story
knitting.

[NetBehaviour] Wish4[0]: 40 Days. 40 News Items. 40 Creative Responses.

[mez breeze]

On this first day of the year 2014, one countdown ends and another begins.
This new countdown has nothing to do with the gradual fading of 2013 and
the celebratory lauding of 2014, but instead ushers in a new social
project: on the 4th of January, *Wish4[0] *begins.

As extensive use of mobile devices such as smart phones, wearables and
tablets has become the norm, it’s apparent how networked/online
communication has become a crucial component of our everyday news and
entertainment cycles, as well as a critical social tool. In the resultant
infoglut we’ve willingly created [and to which we seem quite content to
constantly expose ourselves], privacy concerns are prompting pushbacks
against oversharing and the incessant rush of accelerating digital news.
And yet, deliberate poetic responses to such critical social issues seem
constantly overlooked and underutilised…

…which is where* Wish4[0]* comes in. Once a day, for 40 days, a digital
literature work will be posted to
wishforyouand.me.
Each work will take as its immediate inspiration a headline, or item, drawn
from the electronic news cycle of that specific day...

[NetBehaviour] My Twitter Feedback Regarding James Bridle's "The New Aesthetic and its Politics"

[mez breeze]

   - So, Bridle just trollbaited his response to New Aesthetic critics two
   years too late and with closed comments..
#*TryingTooHardForRelevancy*
   ?
   - [Quick points that I'll flesh out 2morrow regarding Bridle's
   post-relevancy NA dash: 1. Focuses on "Aesthetic" 2 the detriment of
   "New"...
   - 2. Reads as trollbait designed specifically to stir up debate to
   further Bridle's own personality projection/speaker-circuit-hopping...
   - 3. A heavy emphasis on the literary shows Bridle's own lack of
   historical content regarding technology + the glitch movement in
   general...while attempting 2 stridently fuse networked technology to such
   narrowband publishing foundations = stinky bias towards "high culture".
   - [In short: Bridle selectively skews the NA "anti-movement" (as he'd
   like 2 non-label it) while seeking 2 troll it back 2 life.
#*Sigh*
   #*Groan* ]
   - [Hah! is this why Bridle's gone on his NA sulky rant: trying 2 drum up
   karma for a Vanity Fair NA puff piece complete with posed-faux-punk shots?]

A series of events inspired by computer culture involving artists,

fibre and code. Participants will adopt a radical holistic approach to
digital culture.

The project has been developed by Hobart based artist organisation Miss
Despoinas and has two parts.
- Part 1: a ritual series of workshops, talks and performances occurring
over three days (31 May - 2 June 2013) in the CAST Gallery.
- Part 2: the various outcomes of these dynamic events will continue to be
generated and presented
in the gallery between 3 - 30 June 2013.

*NAF:TMFC* is a satellite event of the International Symposium on
Electronic Art [ISEA]. It partners with the Museum of New and old Art
[MONA] as part of Dark MOFO 2013, for the presentation of Notorious R&D at
CAST Sunday 23 May.

[NetBehaviour] Questions, Not Answers, Regarding the Post-#PyCon 2013 Fallout

[mez breeze]

I’m always curious – as any decent news-hound should be – regarding certain
aspects of controversial tech-related dramas. I’m especially curious about
those dramas that play out very publicly and create substantial
character/brand damage.

So this morning I’ve been intent on writing a long-form post regarding the
firing of a PlayHaven
employee for making
alleged offensive
comments  at the Python
Developer Conference (PyCon
2013)
while in earshot of Adria Richards, a SendGrid Employee. Richards
tweetedabout
the incident and complained to PyCon organisers, resulting in Alex
Reid  and
“mr-hank”(the fired
PlayHaven employee) being knuckle-rapped over the incident.
Subsequently, Richards herself has been
firedand although
initially there was ample conjecture that this “news” may have
been the output of some elaborate DDoS hack, it now seems more likely to be
accurate .

Fortunately, my intentions have now jumped up and poked me firmly in my
common-sense gland, and in lieu of finishing and posting that traditionally
crafted article complete with the oily title of “If it doesn’t add value to
the conversation, then it gets deleted” (a direct quote from Richards
herselfregarding
why she’s currently deleting blog comments), I’ve instead started
crafting the following list of questions as ponder-fodder. The list isn’t
especially comprehensive and, in the effort of full disclosure, it’s
undoubtedly laced with my own complicated bias.

Then why do it? Because I’d rather offer readers something that may just
break those horrible and vitrolic “win-lose” mentality loops that plague
certain social media/blog commentators regarding such controversial issues.
I’d also prefer to present an alternative to the multitude of closed-ended
and exclusionary “facts” and “answers” such as those being offered by all
and sundry regarding the fallout post-PyCon 2013:

   1. Were the comments observed by Richards at PyCon 2013 actively (or
   even latently) sexist, or simply incidences of thoughtless comedic material
   that peppers (and may even attempt to parody) aspects of sexist geek
   culture? Could they also conceivably have been a mixture of both?
   2. Were these comments misinterpreted – deliberately or unconsciously –
   in order to create an incident that would create ongoing controversy and
   accelerated pageviews?
   3. If the comments under question had been voiced by two women
   developers mentioning “big dongles” or “forking” (or shoving socks down
   their pants ),
   would Richards have complained?
   4. If the actions Richards undertook regarding the alleged sexist
   comments were performed by a man instead of a woman, might the outcome, and
   corresponding furore, be different?
   5. Is the male
gazein
constant operation during events like PyCon, and if yes, how do we
   create a workable solution for its removal? Should we also acknowledge and
   discuss other types of “gazes” (or other power loaded stereotypical
   behaviours embedded within unconscious neurotypical agendas) that might be
   present at such institutionalised events, with associated bias and layered
   prejudice (involving privilege and status) also in play?
   6. When faced with what they think is offensive or hate-based commentary
   that makes an individual “feel uncomfortable”, how should they react? In
   today’s constantly “on” world where reports of any action may be
   instantaneously broadcast, should an individual’s ability to magnify an
   incident (to the extent where no reasonable or concluding course of action
   can result) be considered *prior* to any action taken?
   7. Is the right to refuse to openly engage – or directly communicate
   with – an individual who *you think* is displaying offensive behaviour
   acceptable, especially when this refusal is based on entrenched bias or
   inequality?
   8. If you choose to expose those you think are “in the wrong”, should
   you be prepared for a certain level of backlash from those who do not view
   the behaviours as you do?  If this level of backlash becomes threatening or
   vitriolic, how should you respond? How should society at large respond?
   9. How do we ensure that well-meaning discourse isn’t hijacked for the
   sake of attention grabbing “netbytes”?
   10. Would decent journalistic input regarding all of these questions
   ac

Zactly. Christopher Moot is kinda there already, but until 4Chan + /b/ is
"decoded" and rendered [significantly] palatable by a set of art movement
"honers" [think: Bridle with "The New Aesthetic kinda" deal] who can
conceptualise/frame the splatterpunkish anarchy into something akin to
channelled subversion, then it'll stay "underground" [only in terms of an
institutionalised view, obviously]. Maybe u and I should do it, Rob?;)

By the way: a warning to all other netbehaviouralists - *please* be careful
if searching /b/, 4Chan at large or Encyclopedia Dramatica. They are full
of [potentially] explosively offensive content [think NSFWx a gazillion].

Agreed. Funny how the idea of meme culture is still very much relegated
into a lo-brow category [or auto-deemed lesser by the

[NetBehaviour] The #Quirk: Doing It Right

[mez breeze]

[From: http://geekgirl.com.au/blog/2013/02/26/quirk-geekgirl/]

"For a while now I’ve been lazily developing a theory about a marketing
trend I term ‘the quirk’. The quirk = the occasionally annoying [but mostly
endearing] use of the whackjob absurd and/or novel in attempts to peddle
product or sell services [alliteration #ftw].

[To be fair, the use of the quirk is much older than the Internet: it's
been prevalent in promotional bursts since (at least) the advent of
broadcast media, though here I'm reffing its deliberate pairing with social
networking rather than use in a one-directional platform like cinema,
radio, tv etc. Also, the quirk doesn't necessarily equate to viral, though
most marketing boffins who attempt to leapfrog off organically formed viral
media pray to their unspecified deities that it will].

We’ve witnessed the quirk in great gouts of captioned cat pics/videos, and
watched it flourish in social media advertising packages like “The Old
Spice Guy” 
campaign.
When used successfully, it captures a target population’s attention through
the offbeat presentation of lateral material designed to elicit an
off-kilter emotional reaction [that bypasses logic or reason] resulting in high
conversion rates . The quirk
taps into emotional pockets designed with the novel in
mind,
a type of side-swiping of the traditional “pander to a consumer’s desires”
type deal with an added bonus of immediacy through user-crafted feedback
[think: a  Facebook "Like" or a Twitter "RT"].

So what’s my theory regarding the quirk for all you impatient types out
there yelling loudly in the background to get the feck on with it? It’s
simply this: that alongside the bloated, privacy-killing
blightthat’s
being increasingly perpetuated by popular social networking
platforms [you know who you are], we’d better make sure we [as users] are
aware of this type of co-optive manipulation bundled in cutez0r form. A
hyper-awareness of this method of quirk advertising probably won’t save you
from subconsciously falling for the product -or-service-wrapped-in-
“lolwut?!” -or
“awww!!”-bait, but at least it might encourage you to selectively support
those companies [or individual campaigns] you think are worthy of your
time/investment/money."
chunks,

[NetBehaviour] HOLO Magazine

[mez breeze]

*endorsement beep*

-- Forwarded message --
From: Greg J. Smith


Hello friends and peers,

Many of you know that I've been working on a magazine project with a number
of collaborators (in orbit around CreativeApplications.Net) for quite a
while now. Well, after more than 18 months of hard work we have launched a
Kickstarter campaign for our project. HOLO is (or will be) a premium
magazine dedicated to exploring the convergence of art, science and
technology. We've enlisted a cast of top-notch journalists, photographers
and a stellar design team to produce an immaculate 150-200 page publication
twice a year – with the first issue slated for publication next spring.

Please check out our Kickstarter campaign page to learn about and/or
support this project. In addition to single issues and subscriptions we've
got some pretty incredible gifts lined up for generous donors:

[NetBehaviour] Announcing: Dreaming Methods Labs Presents "The Dead Tower"

[mez breeze]

*___

Dreaming Methods Labs presents a new digital fiction project - The Dead
Tower*
by Andy Campbell and Mez Breeze.

http://labs.dreamingmethods.com/tower/

Set in a dark and abstract dream world that revolves around a crashed bus,
this atmospheric game-like visual poem/landscape can be freely explored at
full-screen with the mouse and keyboard.

Rummage around in the text/object scrap beneath the haunting structure. Or
attempt to reach the Tower itself.
