[NetBehaviour] HOUSE 2014 - Artist Commissioning Opportunity


HOUSE 2014 - Artist Commissioning Opportunity.

Lighthouse is pleased to announce a new HOUSE 2014 commissioning 
opportunity in partnership with HOUSE, Brighton Festival and University 
of Brighton


HOUSE is Brighton  Hove’s annual visual arts event concerned with the 
commissioning of new work in partnership with Brighton Festival. HOUSE 
utilises domestic and unusual spaces to situate work throughout the city.


HOUSE 2014 invites outline proposals from artists based in the South 
East region, including London, for a series of commissions to be 
realised in May 2014.


For HOUSE 2014 we are asking practitioners to explore ideas around 
immigration itself but also to wider considerations around notions of 
territory and place, cultural identity, displacement, refuge and seeking 
refuge and how this is understood and perceived in contemporary society: 
in the media, culturally and throughout history.


Responses are invited in a range of media.

[NetBehaviour] Time Motion at FACT: Punchcard Protocol and Creative Capital in our Modern Times

2014-01-10 Thread netbehaviour

Rachel Falconer reviews the exhibition ‘Time  Motion: Redefining 
Working Life’ at FACT in Liverpool.


“Taking the archival stimulus of time and motion measurement as its 
title and industrial work patterns as a starting point, the exhibition 
Time  Motion is the latest in a series of exhibitions and symposia 
addressing immaterial labour and new working patterns in the age of 
globalisation and creative capital. Rather than following the 
well-trodden path of casting the figure of the artist as digital 
labourer, or attempting to portray an expansive, post-colonial view of 
nomadic, labouring diasporas, Time and Motion reflects a subversive and 
fragmented approach to the politics of work, rest and play within the 
global information economy.”

[NetBehaviour] The self-abolition of the poet

2014-01-06 Thread netbehaviour


The self-abolition of the poet

Jasper Bernes, Joshua Clover, and Juliana Spahr

At the excellent Poetry and/or Revolution conference a few months back, 
one salient but perhaps muddy point of discussion concerned the 
relationship between poetry and capitalism (or class society more 
broadly). A couple of us here at Commune Editions wrote on this point in 
our statements for the conference, with Joshua Clover averring that a 
successful revolution would spell the end of the poet as a distinct 
social role, while Tim Kreiner and Jasper Bernes seemed to take an even 
more maximalist position, suggesting that the revolutionary formation of 
a free and equal society would mean not only the end of poets but also 
poems, allowing for some new and for us inconceivable form of aesthetic 
expression that might still deserve the name poetry.

[NetBehaviour] Beyond the Cut-up: William S. Burroughs and the Image at Photograper’s gallery

Beyond the Cut-up: William S. Burroughs and the Image at Photograper’s
gallery.

Sat 15 Feb, 2014

http://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/beyond-the-cut-up-william-s-burroughs-and-the-image-conference

This conference Beyond the Cut-up: William S. Burroughs and the Image
will explore new theoretical interventions and accounts of Burroughs’s
ideas of the image, its effects and modes of operation, its impact on
human consciousness, its complex embedding within textual and other
fields, its psychological and ideological transformations of perception.

William S. Burroughs’s complex and provocative uses of the image
challenge critical and theoretical orthodoxies. His works in writing,
visual arts, cut-up and collage, painting, assemblage, photography, and
in sonic arts, constantly return in multiple ways to a detailed and
politically urgent enquiry into the nature and effects of the image, the
word-as-image, and beyond.

Critical work on Burroughs’s art has hitherto focused mainly on his uses
of cut-up techniques. However, his works offer very diverse responses to
the multiple political and emotional functions of images in relation to
modern and postmodern societies of control, and enable explorations of
the status and potentials of the artist as agent within these contexts.
These themes are insistent Burroughsian concerns.

At The Photographers’ Gallery, 16 – 18 Ramillies St, London W1F 7LW.

[NetBehaviour] What is Art History Made of?

2013-12-13 Thread netbehaviour

What is Art History Made of?

Charlotte Frost.

Over the last few years I have been staging a practical and theoretical 
investigation of art historical media. I’ve been asking what are art 
history and criticism are made of? Of course, the simple answer is: 
words. When we interpret, contextualise and historicise artistic 
practice we, in the main, take something visual and turn that experience 
into one carried by words. But sometimes these words are spoken, some 
are printed in books and magazines and now, with the rise of digital 
technology and the internet, some of these words are digital. My concern 
is that not only do we, as art critics and historians overlook our own 
media in a bid to analyse and understand that of artists, but in doing 
so, we are ignoring what happens to art knowledge when it is rendered in 
different forms. So I decided I would have to render my own 
investigation in different forms.

Berg (AKA stAllio!) has made a career for himself as a member of the 
Indianapolis-based art band Animals Within Animals (AWIA) since the turn 
of this century. Alongside of that, Berg’s also emerged online as the 
host of a rad radio program on Numbers FM, as the founder/curator of the 
Tumblr called glitchgifs, and even as a pillow-seller. Midwestern 
breakcore fanatics may recall seeing his name on bills back in the day 
alongside such legends as Doormouse or Xanopticon. AND It turns out he’s 
also a rather skilled skill-sharer. Monty Cantsin [AKA Rap Game Gertrude

Roy Ascott. Telematic Experiences | By Elena Giulia Rossi

art the cybernetic theories – defined by Norman Wiener in 1948 as the 
scientific study of communication between animals and machines – and 
telematics, the term used since 1978 to indicate the convergence of 
communication and computers. His theories found their practical 
environments in an experiment destined to be a historical point of 
reference exactly thirty years ago. In 1983 Ascott was invited by Frank 
Popper to take part in the Electra. Electricity and Electronics in the 
Art of the XX Century exhibit that was being held at the Musée d’Art 
Moderne de la Ville in Paris. Here the English artist displayed his 
trailblazing project La Plissure du Texte / The Pleating of the Text: A 
Planetary Fairytale, also known by its acronym LPDT. The title is an 
explicit reference to an essay by French critic Roland Barthes that was 
published ten years earlier with the title Le Plaisir du Texte (1973), a 
popular essay discussing, among many other things, on authorship and on 
the role of reader as a writer of the text. Ascott foresees multiple 
authors and readers.

2013-12-06 Thread netbehaviour

I Like Hatsune Miku And She (Can Be Programmed To Sing That She) Likes Me.

By Rob Myers.

In the posthuman opera The End Vocaloid Hatsune Miku is unreal and 
ageless but possibly not death-defying. What can a not-quite-Open-Source 
media phenomenon teach us about mortality and cultural alienation? And 
how much further can the figure of the virtual idol singer be taken in a 
world which increasingly resembles the cyberpunk dystopias that it 
originated in?

Furtherfield and Contemporary Art Culture - Where We Are Now

Marc Garrett reflects on Furtherfield’s role and direction as a 
rhizomatic arts collective. He argues that the mainstream art world is 
becoming less relevant in contemporary life. He presents a selection of 
artworks, projects and events shown in their public gallery in Finsbury 
Park over the past 2 years and discusses Furtherfield's new lab space, 
the Furtherfield Commons.

This presentation was given at the ICA, London and to students at the 
Institute of Creative Technologies, De Montfort University, Leicester in 
late November 2103.

Furtherfield And Contemporary Art Culture - Where We Are Now.

Marc Garrett | Transdisciplinary Community (TDC) Seminar (Public)
Wednesday, 27 November 2013
Room 0.11, Queens Building, Mill Lane, Leicester LE2 7DR
Organised by Francesca Franco

Marc Garrett will give a presentation about Furtherfield 
(www.furtherfield.org) and the arts collective's dedication in 
collaborating with, writing about, and being part of a networked art 
culture that he acknowledges as the real contemporary art happening out 
there. It is part of wider shift in art culture that has thrived 
independently at the edges of the traditional and mainstream art world's 
branded franchises. Garrett agrees with Hans-Christoph Steiner that we 
“must allow all human creativity to be as free as free software”. And 
will give evidence of an expanding and dynamic contemporary art practice 
that reflects this idea in various forms, showing an extraordinary shift 
in art consciousness that is forging other ways of seeing, being and 
thinking. Furtherfield has been involved with many artists working in 
art, technology and social change for over 17 years, on-line and in 
physical space. This presentation focuses on reflecting on and 
presenting selected art works and projects shown at their gallery in the 
park, in Finsbury Park London, over the last couple of years.

Marc Garrett is co-director and co-founder, with artist Ruth Catlow of 
the Internet arts collectives and communities – Furtherfield.org, 
Furthernoise.org, Netbehaviour.org, also co-founder and 
co-curator/director of the gallery space formerly known as 'HTTP 
Gallery' now called the Furtherfield Gallery based in the park (Finsbury 
Park), London UK. Co-curating various contemporary Media Arts 
exhibitions, projects nationally and internationally. Co-editor of 
'Artists Re:Thinking Games' with Ruth Catlow and Corrado Morgana 2010. 
Hosted Furtherfield's critically acclaimed weekly broadcast on UK's 
Resonance FM Radio, a series of hour long live interviews with people 
working at the edge of contemporary practices in art, technology  
social change. Also just opened a new space called the 'Furtherfield 
Commons' a community lab space in the park of Finsbury Park. And 
co-curating another Furtherfield project called 'Digital Zoo' a touring 
digital art show to shopping centres around the country in 2014. 
Currently doing an Art history PhD at the University of London, Birkbeck 
College.

November Resident: Olga Kopenkina (BY/US)

18 November, 5pm – lecture: New Feminism and Media
RITS School of Arts, Antoine Dansaertstraat 70, Brussels 1000

21 November, 8.30pm – screening: Feminism is Politics!
Beursschouwburg, Auguste Ortsstraat 20-28, Brussels 1000

http://kranfilm.net/goran-petrovic/november-resident-olga-kopenkina-byus/

Olga Kopenkina is the second Kran Film Resident who will pay a ten-day 
visit to Brussels in order to explore Flemish video and film archives, 
meet film professionals, give a lecture at RITS School of Arts, and 
organize a screening programme at Beursschouwburg Brussels. Kopenkina’s 
residency programme is developed around the theme of gender. She will be 
exploring the relationship between gender and cinema and will question 
how women-filmmakers respond to the various living conditions shaped by 
capital, state politics and war; how they ultimately contribute to 
discussion about significance of an organized action and creation of 
feminist activist networks through the use of film technologies and 
internet.

Lecture: New Feminism and Media
The lecture will depart from early feminist critique, which responded to 
the lack of action in feminist and women’ groups in the late 70s and 
80s, its limited and self-referential discourse, and focus on works by 
women-filmmakers and artists who endeavoured to give the film and 
media-based art a palpable sense of energy, driven by visions of radical 
action. Filmmakers like Alice Guy (France), who pioneered feminist film, 
and Lizzie Borden (USA), female members of Paper Tiger TV activists and 
contemporary cyber-feminists introduced the new ways for feminist 
critique and possibility of organized action through the use of media 
technologies – from independent TV stations and pirate radio of the 
early times to contemporary internet. Contemporary media-based feminists 
artists explore the potential of new feminism to attack, to act from the 
antagonistic position within the wider social and political terrain, 
responding to various living conditions, cultural and material 
productions from women living in different parts of the world. Focusing 
on artistic and political lessons inherited from the past, contemporary 
feminist filmmakers and cyber-feminists propel them to the new circle of 
formation and activation of political subjectivity.

Screening: Feminism is Politics!
Drawing the references to history of feminism and queerness, the film 
program embraces the wide spectrum of art and activism: from performance 
and video to documentation of direct action, redefining notions of 
“riot”, revolt, autonomy, emancipation, revolution, and other concepts 
that shape radical feminist philosophy.

What happens to the internet after the Snowden revelations?
Do we just sit tight and let the most important cultural and economic 
force of the last two decades get turned into a giant surveillance 
honeytrap?  London CryptoFestival is the biggest public and academic 
manifestation in the UK after the spy-network has been exposed.  The 
unique day-long festival is aimed at showing paths beyond the logic of 
fear and coercion offered by the state on the one hand, and business 
models based on surveillance on the other.

London CryptoFestival brings together leading security engineers, 
computer scientists, civil rights groups, hackers, activists and artists 
to evaluate the current situation and to show ways forward.

Alongside this, three strands of hands-on workshops present 
user-friendly tools to increase security by encrypting email, web-use,

Review of Ligna’s 'The First International of Shopping Malls' (Cork, 
Ireland)

By Laura Forlano.

http://www.furtherfield.org/features/reviews/review-ligna-first-international-shopping-malls-cork-ireland

Laura Forlano reviews Ligna’s 'The First International of Shopping 
Malls' (Cork, Ireland) feature's over a decade of new media art that has 
transformed and appropriated city spaces. Challenging the separation of 
physical from digital, global from local, private from public, and 
individual from community.

Murakami’s novel After Dark (2007) which refers to both the mobile 
phone as well as the retail environment of the 7-Eleven seems a fitting 
place to begin a review of a new media art project that uses 
communication technology to explore and inhabit the space of shopping 
malls. Digital technologies have enabled the emergence of new forms of 
participatory art, design and creative practices that inhabit urban, 
communal and personal spaces in a variety of interesting ways. In June 
2012, as part of the Midsummer Festival in Cork, Ireland, the German 
group Ligna, which consists of media theorists and radio artists, 
created a radio ballet entitled The First International of Shopping 
Malls. The ballet was part of a series of events called Parallel Cities 
that was curated by Lola Arias and Stefan Kaegi.

[NetBehaviour] Intermediality: Exploring Relationships in Art.

2013-11-13 Thread netbehaviour

Intermediality: Exploring Relationships in Art.

16 November 2013

Speakers Katrina Sluis, Peter Ride, Sean Cubitt  Marc Garrett

This symposium uses the term 'intermediality' - the combination of 
diverse media and references - as a point of departure to a discussion 
of the artistic appropriation of digital images and environments and 
their combination with traditional media.

Particularly, the term sets the stage for a discussion of the political 
consequences of this practice. As the media scholar Jens Schröter 
argues, they can be interpreted in two central ways. On the one hand, 
Rosalind Krauss sees intermediality as a form of 'capitulation to the 
capitalist spectacle'; on the other, it is viewed as defamiliarising 
ordinary experiences of media (McLuhan), abolishing the separation 
between art and life and pointing to the future overcoming of the 
division of labour (Higgins).

Up to what extent are traditional art historical discourses about the 
medium still relevant to analyse the use of digital images, environments 
and methods in contemporary art practices? What degrees of audience 
implication do they demand?

Curated by ICA Student Forum member Mafalda Dâmaso.

About the journal:
tripleC: Communication, Capitalism  Critique is a non-profit open
access journal focusing on the study of media, digital media,
information and communication in contemporary capitalist societies. For
this task, articles should employ critical theories and/or empirical
research inspired by critical theories and/or philosophy and ethics
guided by critical thinking as well as relate the analysis to power
structures and inequalities of capitalism, especially forms of
stratification such as class, racist and other ideologies and capitalist
patriarchy. The journal is especially interested in how analyses relate
to normative, political and critical dimensions and how they help
illuminating conditions that foster or hinder the advancement of an
inclusive, just and participatory information society. It publishes both
theoretical and empirical contributions as well as reflections and book
reviews.

[NetBehaviour] Call for submissions: Viral Dissonance at FLEFF 2014

2013-11-12 Thread netbehaviour

Call for submissions: Viral Dissonance at FLEFF 2014

The 17th annual Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF) will 
begin its yearlong exploration of “Dissonance” with concerts, workshops, 
master classes, performances, and films.

FLEFF invites submissions of new media art, tactical media, radical 
cartography, computer games, and locative media for the online 
exhibition “Viral Dissonance” and prize of USD250.

“Going viral” is often equated with viral videos. It is associated with 
internet memes: ideas replicate themselves and spread, jumping between 
social networks. Viruses themselves often frighten for their 
unpredictable movements. They travel quickly against dominant flows and 
often defy attempts at isolation and containment. Epidemics viruses like 
SARS, H1N1, and MERS emerge at the intersections between human and 
nonhuman, casting chickens, pigs, camels, and bats as “natural” 
transmitters. They also emerge at the intersections of science and 
superstition. Computer viruses spread through self-replicating malware 
programs, disabling proper functionality—or even shutting it down 
through “worms” like Code Red, Nimda, and ILOVEYOU.

During the past few years, grassroots forms of dissonance have erupted 
everyday from Egypt and Syria to Spain, Greece, the United States, and 
Brazil. People have gathered in the streets and in squares to demand to 
be heard and to be seen. They refuse to be silenced or erased. News 
media have occasionally offered them time and space to make their voices 
heard and faces visible. People have also mobilized digital technologies 
like SMS and social networking, working around and within the control of 
state and corporate control. They have spoken against data mining of 
citizens and against the financialization and militarization of everyday 
life for millions, but they have also spoken against corporate cooption 
of dissonance as Twitter or Facebook revolutions.

Dissonance emerges as clash, tension, disharmony, and disequilibrium to 
make visible and audible an ever-expanding multiplicity of clashes, 
tensions, disharmonies, and disequilibriums have become so integral to 
everyday life that they can easily pass unmarked and seem unremarkable. 
Dissonance thrives on contradictions, moving restlessly towards 
irresolution. It calls out imbalance. Neither noise, nor cacophony, 
dissonance pairs together the incompatible with results that surprise, 
offend, invite, disturb, and excite, spurring action and creativity. 
Dissonance sparks and ignites.

Viral Dissonance seeks projects that run online or on mobile devices, 
ones that provoke and educate to expand dissonance virally as knowledge 
producing and agentive. Please send submissions with a brief bio (75 
words) in an email to FLEFF Digital Curator Dale Hudson of New York 
University Abu Dhabi (UAE/USA) at fleff.digital.curat...@gmail.com no 
later than 15 January 2014.

Claudia Costa Pederson of Ithaca College (USA) serves as FLEFF Assistant 
Curator for New Media on this project, which will be juried by Eduardo 
Cachucho (Belgium/South Africa) and Babak Fakhamzadeh 
(Uganda/Netherlands). The exhibition is scheduled to go live in March

[NetBehaviour] Ars Bioarctica Residency 2014 – Open Call

2013-11-08 Thread netbehaviour

Ars Bioarctica Residency 2014 – Open Call

Since 2010 the Finnish Society of Bioart is organizing the ARS
BIOARCTICA RESIDENCY PROGRAM together with the Kilpisjärvi Biological
Station of the University of Helsinki in the sub-Arctic Lapland.

Until now 39 artists, scientists, and practitioners have been developing
work at the Station - including Marko Peljhan and Matthew Biedermann
from the Arctic Perspective Initiative, Oron Catts from Symbiotica or
sound poet AGF.

The residency takes place in the facilities of the Kilpisjärvi
Biological Station. It provides the residents with a combined living and
working environment, a basic laboratory, internet connection and sauna.

The Kilpisjärvi Biological Station offers to the residents the same
possibilities and infrastructure as its scientists and staff. This
includes access to scientific equipment, laboratory facilities, the
library and seminar room as well as the usage of field equipment. A
dedicated contact person in Kilpisjärvi will familiarize residents with
the local environment and customs.

The emphasis of the residency is on the Arctic environment, artscience
collaboration and is open for artists, scientists and interdisciplinary
research teams.

Applications have to include:

 * a completed application form available via
http://bioartsociety.fi/ars-bioarctica-residency/
 * a cv
 * a more detailed work plan if necessary

Travel to and within Finland to Kilpisjärvi have to be covered by the
applicant as well as the accommodation at the Station. The Finnish
Society of Bioart will assist with the funding process.

The evaluation of the applications emphasizes the quality of the
proposal, its interaction of artscience, its artistic and scientific
significance, the projects relation to the themes of Ars Bioarctica and
its feasibility to be carried out at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station
in the given time.

[NetBehaviour] The 1, 000 Drones Project - A Participatory Memorial.

2013-11-05 Thread netbehaviour

The 1,000 Drones Project - A Participatory Memorial, is the creation of 
media artist and activist, Joseph DeLappe.

The project invites the public to create a small scale, papercraft 
replica of a General Atomics MQ-1 Predator UAV (Unmanned Arial Vehicle) 
- a drone. Participants are asked to write the name of a civilian drone 
casualty upon the wings of the aircraft.

This project is an adaptation of The 1,000 Cranes or “Senbazuru” 
tradition from Japan. This tradition holds that anyone who folds one 
thousand cranes will be granted a wish. Since World War II the tradition 
has been associated with the atomic attacks upon Nagasaki and Hiroshima 
- the folding of the cranes has become a wish for peace. Through the act 
of participating in this work of creative remembrance, the intention is 
for we, as Americans, to recognize and remember those innocents killed 
in our ongoing Global War on Terror.

Art  Activism in Times of Financial Crisis

ISBN: 9781570272646

Format: Paperback
Subject: Counterculture
Pub Date: 10/01/2013
Publisher: Autonomedia

Disrupting Business explores some of the interconnections between art, 
activism and the business concept of disruptive innovation. With a 
backdrop of the crisis in financial capitalism and austerity cuts in the 
cultural sphere, the idea is to focus on potential art strategies in 
relation to a broken economy. In a perverse way, we ask whether this 
presents new opportunities for cultural producers to achieve more 
autonomy over their production process. If it is indeed possible, or 
desirable, what alternative business models emerge? This book is 
concerned broadly with business as material for reinvention, including 
critical writing and examples of art/activist projects.

Contributors include Saul Albert, Christian Ulrik Andersen, Franco 
“Bifo” Berardi, Heath Bunting, Paolo Cirio, Baruch Gottlieb, Brian 
Holmes, Geert Lovink, Dmytri Kleiner, Georgios Papadopolous, Soren Bro 
Pold, Oliver Ressler, Kate Rich, René Ridgway, Guido Segni, Stevphen

[NetBehaviour] Infinite Crypt: Modular Terrain for Underworld Architects

Infinite Crypt: Modular Terrain for Underworld Architects

by James Wallbank

Endlessly reconfigurable 3D dungeons, castles, temples  bunkers for 
miniatures gaming. Robust, architectural designs made affordable.

Infinite Crypt is a new class of laser-cut gaming terrain that we 
haven’t seen before. It provides modular architectural elements that are 
solid and sculptural, and can be reconfigured to create all sorts of 
adventurous locations – catacombs, labyrinths, fortifications, bridges 
and more.

Rather than whole buildings, Infinite Crypt standardises towards 2″ x 2″ 
x 1″ elements with which you can build whatever you like. We’re looking 
to keep the cost right down – because however cool and configurable it 
is, you need to make sure you can get your hands on LOADS of it.

[NetBehaviour] “The F.A.T. Manual” Release and Book Launch at MU, Eindhoven

“The F.A.T. Manual” Release and Book Launch at MU, Eindhoven

The Link Art Center is proud to announce the release of The F.A.T. 
Manual, edited by Domenico Quaranta and Geraldine Juárez. Published by 
Link Editions on the occasion of the exhibition “F.A.T. GOLD Europe” 
curated by Lindsay Howard at MU, Eindhoven (November 15, 2013 – January 
26, 2014), the book is co-produced with F.A.T. Lab and MU. Available 
during the show in a special edition of 200 printed copies, the book is 
already available as a free pdf download on Link Editions website, on 
Lulu.com and Issuu.com, and in print-on-demand on Lulu.com.

In more than five years of activity, the Free Art and Technology Lab 
(F.A.T. Lab) produced an impressive series of projects, all developed 
with open source software, shared online and documented in a way that 
allows everybody to copy, improve, abuse or simply use them. This 
approach situates F.A.T. Lab in a long tradition of DIY, processual, 
sharable artistic practices based on instructionals, and reveals a 
democratic idea of art where Fluxus scores meet hacker culture (and rap 
music).

Featuring texts by Régine Debatty, Evan Roth, Domenico Quaranta, 
Geraldine Juárez andRandy Sarafan, The F.A.T. Manual is a selection of 
more that 100 projects, done in the belief that printing these bits on 
paper will allow them to spread in a different way, infiltrate other 
contexts, and germinate. An archive, a catalogue, a user manual and a 
software handbook documenting five years of thug life, pop culture and 
research and development.

F.A.T. Lab (http://www.f.at) is an organization dedicated to 
enriching the public domain through the research and development of 
creative technologies and media. F.A.T. Lab’s greater network of 
artists, engineers, scientists, lawyers, and musicians are committed to 
supporting open values and the public domain through the use of emerging 
open licenses, support for open entrepreneurship, and the admonishment 
of secrecy, copyright monopolies, and patents. F.A.T. Lab was co-founded 
in 2007 by Eyebeam senior fellows Evan Roth and James Powderly. Over the 
past five years, the group has grown to include twenty-five artists, 
designers and hacker from 3 continents.

Link Editions (http://editions.linkartcenter.eu) is a publishing 
initiative of the Link Center for the Arts of the Information Age. Link 
Editions uses print on demand and digital formats to create an 
accessible, dynamic series of essays and pamphlets, but also artist 
books, catalogues and conference proceedings. A keen advocate of the 
idea that information wants to be free, Link Editions releases its 
contents free of charge in .pdf format, and on paper at a price 
accessible to all. Link Editions is a not-for-profit initiative and all 
its contents are circulated under an 
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) license.

MU will host the official, international book launch at the opening of 
“F.A.T. GOLD Europe” on Friday November 15, with a presentation by the 
editors.

[NetBehaviour] Deleuze's Postscript on the Societies of Control.

Deleuze's Postscript on the Societies of Control.

By Gary Hall, Clare Bichall and Peter Woodbridge
Vimeo - https://vimeo.com/9351602#

The second episode in the series takes as its focus Gilles Deleuzes 
short essay Postscript on the Societies of Control. While this episode 
is being made available for the first time in an issue of Culture 
Machine: An Open-Access Journal of Culture and Theory 
culturemachine.net/index.php/cm/issue/view/22 which has the theme of 
creative media; and while Liquid Theory TV could be described as a 
creative project, to the extent it is concerned with producing 
alternative, rival, or counter-desires to those currently dominant 
within much of society (at its simplest, a desire for philosophy or more 
broadly theory, rather than for the creations of Richard Branson, Simon 
Cowell or Rupert Murdoch, say), this does not mean that either the 
series, or this particular episode, should be regarded simply as an 
attempt to perform Deleuzes philosophy. The critical and interpretive 
aspects of scholarly work remain important to us here, even if they are 
being undertaken in a medium very different to the traditional academic 
journal article or book.

Liquid Theory TV is a collaboration between Clare Birchall, Gary Hall 
and Peter Woodbridge

2013-10-30 Thread netbehaviour

Liquid Surveillance, the soft power of UBERMORGEN.

Rachel Falconer's article is written in response to an interview 
conducted with lizvlx and Hans Bernhard from Ubermorgen. 
'userunfriendly' is their first solo exhibition in London and presents a 
performative study of creeping paranoia. It is on show at 
Caroll/Fletcher Gallery through October until 16th November 2013.

UBERMORGEN, approach phenomena such as Snowden, and other symptoms of 
perceived hyper-capitalism from a fuzzier, more ambiguous subjectivity. 
In their quest for knowledge production and social dialogue, the artists 
present and re-present the conditions of our global socio-political 
situation as physical and ephemeral catalysts of open-ended 
investigation. Falconer.

[NetBehaviour] The strange tale of Rhizome and its Arts Council funding

2013-10-30 Thread netbehaviour

The strange tale of Rhizome and its Arts Council funding

Rhizome's Seven on Seven event took place last weekend at the Barbican 
in London. Bringing artists and technologists together, it was the first 
event on British soil for the digital arts organisation and was 
sponsored by a number of organisations including Wieden + Kennedy.

Why and how Rhizome required Arts Council funding for the event, 
however, was opened up in a series of supposedly leaked emails, released 
over the weekend.

A Twitter account was set up called @jiggawebz93 by a person who remains 
anonymous, and the account has since been suspended. The account appears 
to have been created to leak information about Rhizome's application to 
Arts Council England (ACE), with the account owner claiming to have 
hacked into Rhizome's email and web CMS.

Here is the link to the rest of the article on the matter.

Reminder - Open Discussion 'Giving What You Don’t Have'

All invited, but the event has limited space - please RSVP 
a...@furtherfield.org

This Saturday Saturday 26 October 2013, 2-5pm

Cornelia Sollfrank will present her latest film Giving What You Don't 
Have. It features interviews with individuals Kenneth Goldsmith, Marcell 
Mars, Sean Dockray, Dmitry Kleiner, discussing with Sollfrank their 
projects and ideas on peer-to-peer production and distribution as art 
practice. It includes the projects ubu.com or arg.org, which combine 
social, technical and aesthetic innovation; they promote open access to 
information and knowledge and make creative contributions to the 
advancement and the reinvention of the idea of the commons.

The post-screening discussion will be led by Cornelia Sollfrank, Marc 
Garrett, Joss Hands  Rachel Baker.

On the basis of the interviews of Giving What You Don't Have, we would 
like to discuss some of the issues they represent such as new forms of 
collaborative production, the shift of production from artefacts to the 
provision of open tools and infrastructures, the development of formats 
for self-organisation in education and knowledge transfer, (the 
potential and the limits of) open content licensing as well as the 
creation of independent ways of distributing cultural goods. An implicit 
part of Giving What You Don't Have is a suggested reconceptualization of 
art under networked conditions.

OPEN PLATFORM_4 - TwT.codemehappy - OPEN CALL

We are worried. We want to have fun. We no longer want to queue outside 
over night for the latest gadget. We, the transitional generation, are 
forever trapped in a loop between the analogue and digital! In a world 
in which computational processes seem to run every aspect of our lives, 
we ask you:

How about switching off and going on?

OPEN PLATFORM/RAP(s) -TwT. is back! After three successful events we 
invite you to contribute and take part in OPEN PLATFORM_4 – TwT.codemehappy!

A code is a rule for converting a piece of information (for example, a 
letter, word, phrase, or gesture) into another form or representation, 
not necessarily of the same type. ... One reason for coding is to enable 
communication in places where ordinary plain language, spoken or 
written, is difficult or impossible. (Wikipedia)

Experiment, perform, express, dance, present, sing, rap, read, or just 
tell us about your digital project or work - but without using anything 
digital! PLATFORM/RAP(s)-TwT. is open to anyone interested in 
re-thinking the digital and not limited to artists or professional 
performers/presenters.

Anything goes as long as it is about or related to digital technology, 1 
to 10 minutes in duration and happening on some sort of platform: you 
can use the wooden platform provided (65x95cm) or make your own.

OPEN PLATFORM is a performative event that explores the digital with 
physical means and the fusion of performance and technology in the 
widest sense.

RAP(s) - Random Access Performances: OPEN PLATFORM_4- TwT.codemehappy 
will take place in the Access Space Foyer.

Work by King's College Graduate Students  Artist Erica Scourti at 
Furtherfield.

http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/event/disclosure-old-words-made-new

DISCLOSURE: Old Words Made New.
Ethical knowledge, sacred spaces, forgotten histories and challenging 
predispositions.

Furtherfield is pleased to present the excellent cross cultural project 
DISCLOSURE: Old Words Made New'. We have collaborated with Medieval 
Studies Graduate Students from King's College London, and artist Erica 
Scourti to reversion a contemporary representation on the subject of 
medieval social lives, based on the theme of ‘ethical knowledge’ through 
Old English. With a combination of works in the Finsbury Park 
surroundings, sound installations, collaborative writing, and performance.

The question posed to the King's College students was If we existed in 
a contemporary society where the Internet could no longer be trusted 
because of systems of networked surveillance, what would be the 
different ways in which we could communicate?

The project is part of Colm Cille’s Spiral project, a collaboration 
between Difference Exchange, King's College London and Furtherfield, and 
takes place alongside a commission by artist Erica Scourti. It relates 
to a series of contemporary art and literature commissions and dialogues 
rethinking the legacy of 6th Century Irish monk Colm Cille, or St 
Columba, that unfolds across Ireland and the UK, starting and ending in 
Derry-Londonderry for City of Culture 2013. Kings College Students 
taking part are: Carl Kears, Kathryn Maude, Hana Videen, Victoria

Hans Bernhard (HB): Hullo, Tobias, we have this publication in the 
pipeline about our exhibition and what I want to talk to you about is 
grid paintings, surveillance, black holes, paranoia, infinity, 
psychoses, cyborgs, performance art, research at the border of the 
thinkable and knowable, and parallel universes. I would like to talk to 
you in your capacity as a physicist. What fascinates me is the 
possibility of picking up again the thread of a conversation with you, a 
scientist who has been described as Austria' s one in a century 
scientific talent, that we started in Vienna about pixels as the 
smallest visual unit and about physicists working for Wall Street.

[NetBehaviour] Machine visions: James Bridle on drones, bots and the New Aesthetic.

Machine visions: James Bridle on drones, bots and the New Aesthetic.

Taina Bucher interviews London-based artist, publisher and programmer 
James Bridle. Bridle discusses his work - addressing issues of drone 
surveillance and invisible technologies - and his understanding of the 
New Aesthetics - a term he turned into a common place for contemporary 
digital culture debates.

I met James Bridle in Oslo back in May 2013, as part of the conference 
The Digital City. Bridle was in Oslo to speak about drones, algorithmic 
images, and urban software. His most recent art projects, Dronestagram 
and Drone Shadows, have caught a great deal of interest by the popular 
press, with recent features published in the Wall Street Journal, Dazed 
 Confused and Vanity Fair. Bucher.

Bypassing Cartography- part 1

Marc Garrett interviews Isabelle Arvers about the AntiAtlas of Borders 
project. Control systems along land, sea, air and virtual state borders 
are the subject of work and mutation for scientists, artists, 
filmmakers, performers, hackers, customs agents, and workers in the 
surveillance industries and the military.

This is the first of two interviews with Isabelle Arvers who has 
collaborated with the IMERA team (the Mediterranean Institute for 
Advanced Research of Aix-Marseille University), to curate this expansive 
and dynamic project. The first interview discusses the operational side 
of the project and the next interview examines selected writings, 
artworks, projects and ideas featured as part of the project.

[NetBehaviour] A Conversation between Edward Snowden and UBERMORGEN

Do You Think That's Funny?

A Conversation between Edward Snowden and UBERMORGEN

We met Edward Snowden at Vienna's International Airport in Vienna on 
July 2nd, 2013 shortly after Bolivia's presidential aeroplane, having 
been denied the right to cross their respective airspaces by France, 
Spain, Italy and Portugal, was forced to land in Schwechat. Snowden had 
been on board as a guest of Evo Morales.

Shortly after the arrival of the plane, a close friend of ours, who 
works at the airport, tipped us off. It took us less than thirty minutes 
to grab our stuff and arrive by cab. Our friend guided us through 
airport security into a rather filthy office area in the former main 
terminal.

We found Edward Snowden in a small, stuffy, neon-lit room, where he 
seemed to have been deposited like a questionable parcel that nobody 
wanted to touch or knew what to do with. After our initial hello and how 
are you's, Edward described the rather strained behaviour of the 
Austrian Authorities. He said they seemed to go out of their way in 
order not to have to talk to him: they wanted to keep their record clean 
and stay 'neutral'.

Historically, having served as an intelligence hub between East and 
West, Austria has a record of facilitating secret service meetings that 
few other countries can match,. We were quite astonished that there were 
no OGA's in the room with Mr. Snowden, so we grabbed the opportunity and 
started to talk with him. He immediately lighted up and actually seemed 
happy to see a couple of friendly faces. We spoke quietly but fast since 
we had no idea how much talking-time we had left.

[NetBehaviour] History Will Repeat Itself Strategies of Re-enactment in Contemporary (Media) Art Performance

History Will Repeat Itself Strategies of Re-enactment in Contemporary 
(Media) Art  Performance

A little more than a century ago, the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud wrote 
that hypnosis makes it possible for a patient to fulfil “one of the most 
fervent wishes of humankind”, namely, “to experience something twice”.1 
The main character in Tom McCarthy’s novel Remainder (2005)2 fulfils 
precisely this wish — not through hypnosis, but through ‘re-enactments’. 
The novel’s protagonist is disabled after an accident but is very 
wealthy as he received a lot of money as compensation. He has banal 
scenes from his own life, and later also spectacular events that were 
hyped by the media, re-enacted in public spaces and in apartment blocks 
bought specifically for this purpose. Through these re-enactments, in 
which the protagonist is always the main actor, he hopes to recapture a 
particular, but diffuse, feeling again that he has only felt very 
vaguely since his accident. The re-enactments, which are staged with an 
absurd amount of work and an enormous number of helpers, allow the 
protagonist to experience the repeated situation in full consciousness 
(of his own role), and at the same time to observe events from the 
centre yet from a distance.

Lecture: Free Libraries for Every Soul | IMPAKT – critical and creative 
views on contemporary...

Hacker Marcell Mars will give a talk on November 1st, preceding the 
workshop he gives at Impakt. You can still sign up for that 2 day 
workshop. ‘Free Libraries for Every Soul’, lecture and hackaton within 
the Impakt Festival, is an ode to books and libraries. It explains how 
we can radically change its shape, processes and access; from printed 
matter to the application programming interface (API) and from prints to 
algorithms. Hacker and cyber-librarian Marcell Mars will lead a 
hackathon whereby graphic designers, hackers, UX designers, bookmakers 
and programmers will collaborate to provide contemporary substantiation 
for Melvil Dewey’s dream.

Impakt presents critical and creative views on contemporary media 
culture. We organize an annual festival and all year through events, 
internet projects, residencies and workshops.

[NetBehaviour] The Institute of Network Cultures presents: MoneyLab: Coining Alternatives

2013-10-11 Thread netbehaviour

The Institute of Network Cultures presents: MoneyLab: Coining Alternatives

Over the past few years, while the economic downturn endures and
budget cuts prevail, we have witnessed the emergence and rise of
alternative payment systems and revenue models in digital media.
Online bartering sites, a plethora of crowdfunding platforms, new
forms of valuation, e-wallets and crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, are
but a few examples. These coincide with the huge growth of mobile
money transfer services across Asia and Africa and the general
convergence of digital and financial industries.
  
Is this where a healthy economic future lies? Do these economic
ventures testify to a paradigm shift from a market-based economy
towards a network economy? What are the possibilities, pitfalls and
issues at hand? Will these experiments gain wider -- over the counter
-- usage, effectively becoming mainstream? Beyond Hayekian notions of
currency competition, what theories and concepts can help us engage
with these developments?
  
MoneyLab: Coining Alternatives aims to critically explore, map and
probe the politics, inner-workings and governance of these alternative
digital economic forms.It is not enough to merely promote and further
develop (technical) alternatives, we also need time to ask ourselves
critical questions and re-examine the very underpinnings of our
endeavors.
   
What's Cooking?
  
MoneyLab: Discussion List

You can join our project by subscribing to the MoneyLab:
Coining Alternatives Mailinglist. We are always looking for
radical submissions that closely reflect the stated aim of
the MoneyLab: Coining Alternatives project. Subscribe here:
http://listcultures.org/mailman/listinfo/moneylab_listcultures.org.
  
MoneyLab: Blog

Over the next few weeks we will launch the MoneyLab: Coining
Alternatives Blog where you can find our position paper, interesting
background articles, blog posts, and info on our upcoming events. We
will send out a notice to our listservice members as soon as the Blog
is live.
  
MoneyLab: Conference

We will be hosting a two-day conference event in Amsterdam, on
March 21-22, 2014. The purpose of this conference is to launch the
network by gathering artists, designers, programmers, activists and
researchers. The aim will be to map the field, reflect upon theories
and experiences and clarify the key constituents, discourses and
architectures at work in the different kinds of network economies.
  
MoneyLab: Conference Reader

One of the intended outcomes of the conference will be to publish
the discussions and debates as an INC reader, which will serve as a
resource on alternatives in networked economies.This publication is
due to come late 2014 and will be published both in a paper version in
a variety of electronic versions (pdf, e-pub etc.).
  
MoneyLab: Toolkit

In addition, we will develop a toolkit built on the results of our
research project that maps the field of alternative revenue models
and payments systems geared to freelancers and organizations in the
creative industries.
  

 Join Us!

Of central importance to this project is the formation of a
collaborative network of researchers, artists, developers, engineers,
and others interested in sharing, coining, critiquing, and ushering in
alternative network economies. Did you read or write an interesting
article on this matter, or maybe you also want to host a similar
conference, hackathon or other types of conspiratorial gatherings? --
let us know!

[NetBehaviour] The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe Since 1945

30th Council of Europe Exhibition
The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe Since 1945

The post-1945 works that will be presented at MOCAK show the social and 
political climate of contemporary Europe. Human rights, equality, 
democracy – such are the issues dealt with by the exhibition The Desire 
for Freedom, co-financed by the European Commission.

The exhibition The Desire for Freedom will present mainly video works 
made over the last five decades by 47 authors from 17 European 
countries. The exhibition is divided into 12 chapters that illustrate 
the multitude of artistic forms of expression and the topics covered: 
The Court of Reason, We Are the Revolution, A Journey to Wonderland, 
Darkness at Noon, The Reality of Politics, The Uncertainty of Freedom, 
99 Cents, A Hundred Years, Inhabitable Worlds, A Different Space, 
Self-experience – Testing the Boundaries, The World in Our Minds.

The presented works combine into a social and political landscape of 
contemporary Europe and the problems it’s grappling with. The 
exhibitions pose questions such as: how do individuals want to live? In 
what way do they want to come to terms with history? How do they behave 
faced with authoritarian regimes? The show demonstrates the ways in 
which artists expose social taboos. It also takes on board government 
politics and governments’ duty to provide security for their societies.

UBERMORGEN
u s e r u n f r i e n d l y

11 October - 16 November 2013
Private view: Thursday 10 October, 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Carroll / Fletcher is delighted to announce u s e r u n f r i e n d l y,
the first solo exhibition in the UK for UBERMORGEN - the
Swiss-Austrian-American duo founded in 1999 by lizvlx and Hans Bernhard.
The exhibition features installations, videos, websites, actions,
pixellated prints, digital-oil paintings and photographs in a
hyper-active, super-enhanced exploration of censorship, surveillance,
torture, democracy, e-commerce, and newspeak. The works seek to
destabilise our understanding of the influence of technology,
corporations and governments on our everyday lives and subvert the
dominant networks of power that structure our world.

The exhibition includes two new installations - Do You Think That's
Funny? - The Edward Snowden Files (2013) and CCTV - A Parallel Universe
(2013) - that continue UBERMORGEN's open-ended investigations into
corporate and governmental authority; investigations that involve and
implicate both the artists and the audience in a complex global network
of power and influence. Perpetrator (2013) - a series of photographic
and video works based on the life of Guantanamo Bay military guard Chris
Arendt and his two month stay at the artists' home in 2008 - and
[V]ote-Auction (2000) - a platform that enabled trading of electoral
votes in the presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore -
broaden the scope of the artists' research to consider the nature of and
links between institutional and individual agency and responsibility.

Throughout the exhibition the infiltration and influence of the digital
realm on the physical is further explored through paintings, prints and
photographs. The Deephorizon (2010) series of digital-oil paintings
(based on aerial images of the 2006 oil rig disaster in the Gulf of
Mexico) reconsiders 'oil painting' as a live performance of
process-based art form. Whilst the Psych|OS (2002 and 2012) series of
photographs explores our relationship with mental illness, and
complements the Oldify (2013) series of prints that utilise the Oldify™
app that takes an image and ages it: 'It's the perfect way to confront
your own mortality during the springtime of your life.'[1]

In a section of the exhibition, curator and artist Aram Bartholl curates
a selection of UBERMORGEN's Net.Art works on as series of wireless
routers hung in the gallery. Each artwork is assigned a single Wi-Fi
router, which is accessible through devices such as smart-phones,
tablets or laptops. The content of the artwork is visible only on the
visitor's private screen.

UBERMORGEN's research-based practice is driven by a desire to satisfy
their own curiosity, without the constraints of having a defined
political agenda or preconceived beliefs: 'If art and art production
politicises itself, it becomes political and ceases to be art'[2].
Influenced by Dada and the Viennese Actionists, UBERMORGEN's 'digital
actionism' utilises modern technologies and performance-based strategies
to devise multi-layered, flexible narratives that blend fact and fiction
to draw both the artists and the audience in a real-time, ever-evolving
high-stakes game.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a 32pp publication featuring an
essay by curator Magda Tyżlik-Carver and conversations between
UBERMORGEN and Austrian quantum physicist Dr. Tobias Noebauer and
between UBERMORGEN and Edward Snowden.

[NetBehaviour] Philipp Teister: the urgent message - Imperica - digital arts and culture magazine.

Philipp Teister: the urgent message - Imperica - digital arts and 
culture magazine.

Teister has been shaking the tree of art theory for some time. We 
covered him some time ago, when he had given his Facebook user account 
details to the world. This time, he's doing something which is slightly 
more subtle, but also more meaningful.

He sees his work as having an approach of the purist: he finds it 
difficult for his work to be accepted as art”. Although it can be 
viewed as satire, as social commentary, his reasons for doing what he 
does are much deeper. It is, as he refers to it during our conversation, 
something of a mission. “I just create the story. What you make of it is 
yours. That's what I love to do. It's hard to be an 'artist', as that is 
perceived to be something totally different.”

His new work, Binlover, first surfaced in 2011. It was developed on the 
back of the ubiquitous and impenetrable Stuxnet worm, which found its 
way into telemetric devices of all kinds, including nuclear power 
stations. At the same time, a friend visited from Nairobi, telling him 
about African Maximalism. From there, Teister came up with the idea of 
harvesting the contents of a computer's trashcan and combining it with 
the story of an agent to produce Binlover. Its development was supported 
by Rotterdam-based independent art organisation Moddr which, at the 
time, was facing financial challenges as “... the neoliberal wankers 
started to shut down all of the independent art spaces. Those places 
don't really exist any more.”
