[NetBehaviour] New furtherfield site / The Game

2017-10-25 Thread Daniel Temkin
The new site looks so, so much better. Also, nice to see The Game from Star 
Trek TNG referenced, one of my favorites. It's an interesting choice 
because there, it's the kids who resist -- perhaps we adults, by making 
social media lame (the way we did Facebook), will help drive younger people 
to see it for what it is.

[NetBehaviour] Are we all?

Perhaps that's a good question? Three of four of the headers on the new
front page start with "Are we all..." So let's address that question. Are
we all? Are we all that we want to do? Are we all that we can be? Are we
all aligned? And the biggest question of all, "Are we?"

how about all the men on this list take it on to tweet/talk about this,
and any other incidents - big or small - that they're aware of? it isn't
only women's responsibility to be constantly trying to draw attention to
the problem, it's also men's responsibility to stop standing by silently
letting this stuff keep happening, as if it's normal.

[NetBehaviour] A very big number

2017-10-20 Thread James Morris
The magnitude of this first term, g1, is so large that it is practically 
incomprehensible, even though the above display is relatively easy to 
comprehend. Even n, the mere number of towersin this formula for g1, is far 
greater than the number of Planck volumes (roughly 10185 of them) into which 
one can imagine subdividing the observable universe. And after this first term, 
still another 63 terms remain in the rapidly growing g sequence before Graham's 
number G= g64 is reached. To illustrate just how fast this sequence grows, 
while g1 is equal to with only four up arrows, the number of up arrows in g2 
is this incomprehensibly large number g1.

Now that I think about it, I could see ownership of ephemeral art becoming
a thing... an investor is at a party and someone says, "We just bought a De
Kooning. It's hanging in our living room." "Well, I just bought 5% in a
Pall Thayer and it doesn't even exist any more." Top that!

Hi Gretta,

What a soulless slug this person must be.

This is what I hate about the art world, and sadly - certain aspects of media 
art culture has shifted towards this direction, more than ever now.

It's a double bind for artists -- to get a show one has to be nice to some of 
these assholes, or end up becoming like them, and this means they can get away 
with a lot nonsense.

Wishing you well.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Maecenas

2017-10-19 Thread Edward Picot

Rob,

As far as I'm concerned your help would be greatly appreciated. I've had 
several looks at Ethereum, but I don't feel at all confident that I 
could actually implement something and make it work. Your coloured art 
coins look as if they at least halfway there. Do I gather that you 
created 13 of each colour, and offered them for sale?


On the presentational side of this, the art listed on Maecenas, 
according to their site, 'will be held in purpose-built art storage 
facilities that not only ensure that the artwork is safe but also 
guarantee that it’s properly looked after', and the ArtReview article 
mentions that artworks are 'increasingly bought to be hidden away in 
warehouses in the peculiar nonzones known as freeports - tax- and 
customs-free spaces where objects are, legally, indefinitely ‘in 
transit’ between countries'. So I was wondering if  our non-existent 
artwork should have some kind of physical location. An empty crate 
housed at the Furtherfield gallery might be nice. The other option that 
occurred to me derives from Flann O'Brien's novel The Third Policeman. 
One of the policemen in the book (MacCruiskeen) has a hobby of making 
tiny boxes, each tinier than the previous one, which he keeps one inside 
the other. When he unpacks them the tiniest of the lot is completely 
invisible, and in fact there's really no way of telling that it exists 
at all.  'The one I am making now,' he says, 'is nearly as small as 
nothing.' So another option would be to say that our on-existent artwork 
was housed inside MacCruiskeen's tiniest box, and perhaps give a 
map-reference for it, whilst warning people that unfortunately it's so 
small that it can't be seen.


What do other people think?

Edward

Great! - I'm not sure where you go with it after that, though.

You could offer something non-existent for sale on OpenBazaar easily 
enough. That would be one option. What appealed to me, though, was 
the idea of selling shares in a non-existent work of art, in the hope 
that the shares would keep changing hands and their value would keep 
increasing, so that if you retained something like a 25% stake in the 
work, that stake would keep increasing in value too.


The paradox, of course, would be that by announcing that you were 
creating a non-existent work of art, and offering shares in it, you 
would in effect be creating an actual conceptual work of art about 
the marketing and the market value of art. That's why I thought the 
images from Curt Cloninger's essay about nothing would be appropriate 
(for advertising the existence, or rather non-existence, of the work 
and the availability of shares), because he's investigating the 
paradox that you can't create a representation of nothing without 
that representation being a something.


I expect Rob could advise about how to set up the shares thing.

The fascist creep in action:

Alan Sondheim Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Wednesday that he 
reserves the right to jail journalists, if we have to.


Here's his exchange with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) during a Senate 
Judiciary Committee hearing:


KLOBUCHAR: Will you commit to not putting reporters in jail for doing 
their jobs?


SESSIONS: Well, I don't know that I can make a blanket commitment to that 
effect. But I would say this: We have not taken any aggressive action 
against the media at this point. But we have matters that involve the most 
serious national security issues, that put our country at risk, and we 
will utilize the authorities that we have, legally and constitutionally, 
if we have to.


Maybe we  we always try to find an alternative way, as you probably know, 
Sen. Klobuchar, to directly confronting a media person. But that's not a 
total, blanket protection.


There is a lot of missing context here that Sessions would have been wise 
to include, if he were interested in avoiding panic.


Sessions appeared to be reiterating a warning he issued in August, when he 
said that as part of the Justice Department's effort to prosecute 
government workers who make illegal disclosures of classified information, 
one of the things we are doing is reviewing policies affecting media 
subpoenas.

good on you gretta, for not letting him get away with it (or at least,
not without discussion ...). this kind of casual sexism really needs to
be challenged, as in many ways it's even more insidious than the
outright variety which is easier to call out. it reinforces women's
invisibility & the idea that this state of affairs is somehow natural.

who was the museum director and which museum? so at least those of us on
this list can know who to avoid.

(maybe we need a #metoo campaign for experiencing this kind of put-down

It's the men who have traditionally gotten the most attention, but there 
have always been many brilliant women; when I did Individuals in 1974 for 
Dutton, the ratio was pretty much even, and when I curated later at Nexus 
in Atlanta, it was the same. This is an issue and prejudice on the part of

[NetBehaviour] Bosun Whistle Crow

2017-10-17 Thread Alan Sondheim



Bosun Whistle Crow

http://www.alansondheim.org/seal22.jpg
https://youtu.be/LHwPmkh-Fic playing with crow into the wind,
seals and cormorants in the distance, out of sight, a lone
clamor in the background, invisible, the crow transforming
everything, the beautiful dry sound of the whistle
http://www.alansondheim.org/seal23.jpg

My grotesque body. Today, a crow, we heard the sounds of its
wings, loud and near us. But that wasn't the crow in the trees,
in the distance.

Misplaced Description of Everything in my Life and Work *

"There are several categories. There are a number of still
images "charprint" - these represent charred bodies, the results
of genocide; they're small 3d-printed models. They've been shown
in London, Spain, and Providence (the first two through
Furtherfield, the last at Interrupt through John Cayley).
They're the result of distorted motion-capture work - you can
see some of this at 2p, body loses body, mocaps.mov; these were
produced by either altering mocap software or remapping body
nodes in various ways. I had extensive residencies at West
Virginia University's Virtual Environments Lab, where these and
other works have been produced. The same figures have also been
used in Second Life, MacGrid, and other virtual worlds; the
results are things like numbhir, hypnagogic, thedead, etc. I
deconstruct SL avatars in the ruin. A lot of the work deals with
anomalies in virtual worlds - regions or activities which
operate half-in and half-out of the worlds - examples include
suicide (look at suicide.mov and ignore suicide.mp4, it's not as
sharp), switching, and the two reality pieces. Pain and some of
the other pieces use text. Gunscan deconstructs a gun by
altering laser 3d-scanning program parameters. Floodwall is a
sped-up version of a codework I did on a bridge at Johnstown,
Pennsylvania; in 1889 Johnstown experienced one of the worst
disasters in the U.S. - 2209 people were killed when a dam
burst, and the debris wiped out several towns. Everything ended
up at the bridge. I programmed the bridge to say HELP in various
ways - QRRR, MAYDAY, and SOS. The piece was run for several days
and can be activated again. www presents an anomaly in Second
Life which ends up representing a Wide World War, constant
bombing. the dead was used as part of a suite of pieces dealing
with genocide, performance, ISIS, and terror that was, for me,
the basis of a stint at the empyre email list, where Johannes
Birringer and I moderated a discussion on these issues for a
month. aaggd is more complex than it appears; the images - which
seem to be ordinary video feedback - are actually send around
the world, and it's the circuit that creates them and the slight
lag between them. This was done using the conferencing
application in linux, Access Grid, and specifying the nodes the
image/sound would have to go through - we used Morgantown in
West Virginia, and a site in Queensland, Australia. This is also
the case for hypnagogic. Fb images are from Facebook; I used a
photograph of a severely wounded WWI German soldier as my
personal image, trying both to cut through the surface of Fb and
represent the horrors of war. The photograph is from Krieg dem
Krieg. Finally stripped is the result of stripping altered
motion capture movements from an avatar body, and re-presenting
the movements on an abstract group of forms; I worked with this
to examine how movement itself might represent consciousness
without any other visual indication of organism.

*sent with examples and additional text to a gallery. I pray,
please please show me, I will play my bosun whistle for you and
surely some crow will sing. And together we will fight the
current regime and raise a flag. And the flag will have a bosun
whistle and crow on it. And we will win. The crow will win.

Re: [NetBehaviour] immaterial art- wetin you go do?

2017-10-16 Thread Johannes Birringer
Dear all

I tend to agree with Alan, and wondered Gretta what kind of works you had in 
mind when you mentioned "immaterial / non-existent artworks"  (the non existing 
ones
i find particularly interesting, did you mean works of a scale that makes them 
uncollectible or not so visible, like the kind of Smithson land art 
extravaganzas?

I just attended the Carolee Schneemann retrospective ("Kinetic Painting") at 
MMK Frankfurt, a massive exhibition across 11 galleries in the museum showing 
early work from the 50s, through late work,  paintings, assemblages, 
performances, films, photographic and graphic works, writings and 
installations.  This is such a comprehensive exhibition, including documentary 
photographs and films of her performance actions, that one could spend days in 
it and revel in the achievements of a [female] artist who has affected history 
through her own work and through her influence over subsequent generations of 
artists,  perhaps especially in the field of performance art. Though Schneemann 
obviously worked through the erotics and charisma of her body (Stelarc 
objectiifies "the body" differently, I think or treats 'it' differently), I 
wonder whether gender notions are easy to apply (especially as dichotomies)?  
When you think of land art or Smithson, you might also think of Ana Mendieta or 
someone like Yayoi Kusama or Min Tanaka or Otobong Nkanga who have worked in 
their own ways, with "landscapes" (so did Gertrude Stein, or Anita Berber). I 
enclose a photo
of Nkanga's "Wetin You Go Do?" - currently at Tate Modern's Tanks. quite a 
heavy work!

Hannah Wilke, etc. A pretty mixed group. Most of the hard-core
conceptualists were male, but there are also Adrian Piper, the Guerilla

Re: [NetBehaviour] Maecenas

2017-10-15 Thread Edward Picot

Great! - I'm not sure where you go with it after that, though.

You could offer something non-existent for sale on OpenBazaar easily 
enough. That would be one option. What appealed to me, though, was the 
idea of selling shares in a non-existent work of art, in the hope that 
the shares would keep changing hands and their value would keep 
increasing, so that if you retained something like a 25% stake in the 
work, that stake would keep increasing in value too.


The paradox, of course, would be that by announcing that you were 
creating a non-existent work of art, and offering shares in it, you 
would in effect be creating an actual conceptual work of art about the 
marketing and the market value of art. That's why I thought the images 
from Curt Cloninger's essay about nothing would be appropriate (for 
advertising the existence, or rather non-existence, of the work and the 
availability of shares), because he's investigating the paradox that you 
can't create a representation of nothing without that representation 
being a something.


I expect Rob could advise about how to set up the shares thing.

[NetBehaviour] fascist futurism

2017-10-15 Thread Alan Sondheim



fascist futurism

Donald Trump is a war criminal. Treat him accordingly.

Donald Trump meets his followers in a field. It is 2024. They
are all wounded. Some don't have legs. Some don't have arms.
They hug and kiss him. They all dance. Trump is so happy. Trump
is so very happy. There is no one else around. Everything is
burned. Trump is not burned. Trump is so very happy. If I was
there I would be happy for Trump. I would be happy too.

[NetBehaviour] RIP Michael Gurstein & much respect for being a decent himan being...

2017-10-14 Thread marc.garrett
Really sad news, such a lovely guy.

Through the years, Michael contributed some excellent ideas and texts on the 
Netbehaviour email list, in the UK.

He has been involved on some of the most important discussions on Netbehaviour 
and contributing with in depth, some critical insights, whether it was in 
relation to Furtherfield projects and or its various ventures, such DIWO, and 
he always was generous in offering thoughtful perspectives in an open way. Such 
a shock :-(

This was found on his FB page

Michael Gurstein
October 2, 1944 - October 8, 2017

Michael Gurstein was born on October 2, 1944 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to 
Emanuel (Manny) and Sylvia Gurstein. While still an infant, the family moved to 
Melfort, Saskatchewan where Manny grew up and his family still lived. In Mike’s 
youth, Manny and Sylvia ran a successful retail store. There, the family grew 
with a younger sister, Penny.
Mike excelled at school. He spent his summers working at a golf club in 
Waskesiu and graduated from Melfort Composite Collegiate Institute high school, 
and then completed an undergraduate degree in philosophy at the University of 
Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Mike was driven by pragmatism and curiosity about 
the wider world that motivated his doctoral studies in Sociology at the 
University of Cambridge in the U.K. While a student, he began his life-long 
exploration of the world, with trips through North Africa and a long journey 
from Southeast Asia through Afghanistan and Iran and back to the U.K.

Upon Mike’s return to Canada, he worked in politics and policy, as a senior 
civil servant for the Province of British Columbia under Barrett’s NDP 
government (1972-4) and for the Province of Saskatchewan under Blakeney’s NDP 
Government (1974-5). While teaching at York University, he ran unsuccessfully 
for the NDP in the riding of Parkdale.
Mike moved to Ottawa in the late 1970s where he met his wife, Fernande 
Faulkner. Together they had two children, Rachel (1981) and Marc (1983). He and 
Fernande established and ran a management consulting firm, Socioscope, which 
studied and guided the social aspects of the introduction of information 
communication technology. In Ottawa, Mike also built and managed a real estate 
portfolio. In 1992 the family moved to New York, where Mike and Fernande worked 
for the United Nations.

In 1995, Mike became Associate Chair in the Management of Technological Change 
at the University College of Cape Breton. There, he founded the Centre for 
Community and Enterprise Networking (C/CEN) as a community based research 
laboratory exploring applications of ICT to support social change in one of 
Canada's most economically disadvantaged regions.
Grown out of his early experience in rural small town Saskatchewan and his 
later experiences in impoverished but culturally and communally rich Cape 
Breton, Mike's work provided the conceptual framing for “community 
informatics”. He published the first major work in the field, and introduced 
the term "community informatics" into wider usage as referring to the research 
and praxis discipline underpinning the social appropriation of ICT. Within the 
area of community informatics a major contribution has been Mike's introduction 
of the notion of "effective use" as a critical analytical framework for 
assessing technology implementation superseding approaches based on the more 
commonly accepted frameworks such as that of the "digital divide".

In 1999, the family moved to Vancouver to be closer to Mike’s parents and 
sister. In 2000, Mike and Fernande returned to New York, to work at the New 
Jersey Institute of Technology and the UN, respectively. Mike returned to 
Vancouver in 2006 and established the Center for Community Informatics Research 
Development and Training (CCIRDT). With this platform, he traveled the world to 
consult with governments and civil society organisations, present at 
conferences, and conduct research.

Mike was the founding editor of the Journal of Community Informatics and was 
Foundation Chair of the Community Informatics Research Network. He was at the 
time of his death the Executive Director of CCIRDT, and formerly an Adjunct 
Professor in the School of Library and Information Studies Vancouver Canada, 
and as well as Research Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 
Newark, New Jersey, and Research Professor at the University of Quebec 
(Outaouais). He was also a member of the High Level Panel of Advisers of the 
UN's Global Alliance for ICT and Development. He has also served on the Board 
of the Global Telecentre Alliance, Telecommunities Canada, the Pacific 
Community Networking Association and the Vancouver Community Net.

In recent years he was active as a commentator, speaker and essayist/blogger 
articulating a community informatics (grassroots ICT user) perspective in the 
areas of open government data and internet governance. T

This might seem a bit dated but perhaps not.

 

In response to Brian Holmes' notion that the moderates are now the new 
radicals, I was reflecting on the July 4th 2017 tweeting of the Declaration of 
Independence by US National Public Radio. The Trump-base replies of putting 
radical and subversive content online, and I would not have been surprised at a 
comment about Communism. That being said, the polarization of politics in the 
United States, at least since Reagan, and likely since the McCarthy Trials and 
Goldwater days in the 60's make we wonder about Brian's idea that in light of 
severe polarization, has the center become the radix? Has the United states 
become so warped through populist remediation that its fundamental principles 
are now seen by the populists as radical and subversive?

 

If so, I'd like to consider the notionof Constitutional Radicalism in the USA. 
The idea of the Radical Moderate as healing agent.  This is not saying to 
reiterate Eisenhower-era hegemony - far from it. The Constitution and 
Declaration have some ideas that are being trampled to death by the Trump 
movement, egalite', freedom of speech, liberte', and so on.  This is also not a 
defense for a constitutional literalism that lets the alt-right off the hook 
for semiotic inversion (accusing the other of their own tactics as diversion), 
but a call for a spirit of the law separate from strict legalism, which was 
perfected in the Gordon Gecko days of the 1980's to the speculations crash of 
the 2008.

 

Has the United states, and a large part of Western thought become so warped by 
populism and anti-intellectualism (which is a complex and stack in itself) that 
individuals seeking a humane, objective society driven by reason, logic and 
empirical science look like some sort of freak show? If so, count me as a 
freak, and perhaps a political theory of constitutional fundamentalism as 
revolutionary force is a notion which time has come.

 

What art could come from such “radical”, “Subversive” ideas born in the 
Enlightenment and the Age of Reason when updated for the current age, and not 
on 4chan?

Re: [NetBehaviour] Maecenas

2017-10-12 Thread bjørn magnhildøen
archiving has become an art, i think, blockchain is also an archive,
artists can very well (continue) focusing on experimenting with archiving
vs ephemerality, loss and chaos will continue. collecting art might also
have become an art for that matter, building on loss and chaos..

i think art and artists definitely should resist definition, or make that
definition part of the art, ie. have it for breakfast. don't rely on the
future, let it function freely without abiding anywhere or in anything.
dematerialization is in the eye of the beholder.

[NetBehaviour] two women and the network of everything

two women and the network of everything

http://www.alansondheim.org/aud91.jpg

everything is forked, the two women, the tree, the pipes on the bag,
snaked and i traveled and was in another state with two women, whose
brothers had a way of being _awry_ or weird here. i'm sitting next to
the two women talking about something between them and i'm here sitting
next the women talking about looking further between them.

0: two
No command 'two' found, did you mean:
 Command 'tao' from package 'taopm' (universe)
two: command not found
0: women
No command 'women' found, did you mean:
 Command 'wopen' from package 'gworkspace.app' (universe)
women: command not found

i used to think, when I was young, that if I were sent to a prisoner of
war camp, cipher cipher, cipher, nothing, /dev/null

dev/null, I used to think, when I was young

@ Ruth, as soon as art becomes something else than a very personal quest,
it becomes something else, an economical, political, social, family asset
and then it's interest can only be discussed in that particular frame

@Gretta in my opinion you talk about social and finally financial value
created by likes = manipulated humans and machines

This does NOT democratise access to art; it's nothing more than a 
secure way to protect and exchange's one investment - which plays 
into the notion of enclaving described in Mike Davis' City of 
Quartz (think it was written in the 80s). Art has to RESIST 
enclaving, unless one accepts useless decoration and 
connoisseurship as the only form of art worth considering.


One of the amazing things about Furtherfield is, at least as far 
as I can tell, it itself is a form of resistance! I'd thank God

"""Marly studied the quotations. Pollock was down again.  This, she
supposed, was the aspect of art that she had the  most difficulty
understanding. Picard, if that was the man's  name, was speaking with a
broker in New York, arranging  the purchase of a certain number of
"points" of the work of a  particular artist. A "point" might be
defined in any number  of ways, depending on the medium involved, but
it was  almost certain that Picard would never see the works he was
purchasing. If the artist enjoyed sufficient status, the  originals
were very likely crated away in some vault, where no one  saw them at
all. Days or years later, Picard might pick up that  same phone and
order the broker to sell. """

Re: [NetBehaviour] An Abstraction?

2017-10-11 Thread Anthony Stephenson
Hi Pall,
Sorry if I came across as being critical (it's for that reason that I've
abandoned a number of other correspondences here), but I do appreciate the
effort and wit that you put into these pieces.
I'll only add that after submitting I realized that I said "non-figurative"
when I meant "non-objective" – which might open a whole other cans of worms
in light of OOO (cf, "theCanvas"). Where issues of design and intention
might have once been encapsulated in the formalism of abstraction, the
abstraction of social relevance here might be hidden to those without slow
computers or non-coders.

Hi Anthony. I find your response very confusing. I think you're missing the
point. If you feel that the code is not performing as it should, feel free
to change it and replace the orginal code with your own. "An Abstraction?"
is more of a prompt than a title. If you don't agree, change it to
something you agree with. That's the whole idea behind this project. You
can "steal" it and make it do whatever you want.

I was thinking of locking up the program; letting it run but closing down, 
internally, the ability to change anything, after a brief window. So for 
the participant, it's a kind of frustrating game, maybe paralleling the 
way the old tetris always eventually outstrips the player?

Alan, do you mean as in freezing up the browser? The code is all there and
free for anyone to edit. Not sure if it would be possible to lock up the
browser. I think most browsers have protections built in to detect and stop

[NetBehaviour] distributed networked intelligence

2017-10-08 Thread Alan Sondheim



distributed networked intelligence


Blue lobster in Bristol RI Audubon Society aquarium. I'm
thinking about networked intelligence here, the relationship
between complex articulations and overall systems behavior - and
how we, as humans, tend to think of intelligence as located
instead in a primary organ.

Image: http://www.alansondheim.org/aud31.jpg blue lobster
Video: https://youtu.be/vfALP-jPGm8
Image: http://www.alansondheim.org/aud33.jpg starfish tentacles

Even systems ontologies break down; given that there is a
consciousness at work here, that numerous limbs and joints need
local and overall articulation, we have to admit, as so many
already have, that we've got intelligence wrong, that
distribution creates an economy of energy and localization
that's absolutely brilliant, that results in different ways of
thinking, even of life and death - consider the wood-net for
example, or hive behavior; think of slime-molds or the
dominating micro-biomes of the human body, in fact of almost
every larger organism. Move not to the grid, but to transport
topologies; our singular 'I' (ipod, ipad, my--) is fundamentally
diffused, and what brilliance lies there, if one only has the
patience to _look._ This lobster is a case in point; arms and
feeding mechanisms interlock, as if they were communities them-
selves. They're not, of course; there simply may not be the
Barthian _punctum_ we insist on, from the vanishing-point
inherent in three-dimensional visual triangulation, to Weyl's
ego-location at the origin of the Cartesian graph. Move from
geometry and manifolds to rubber-sheet topologies without
ontology - pure epistemologies - and then think of this in
relationship, first, to the rigidity of digital protocols, and,
second, to the flexibility of digital protocols, which require
neither realm nor location; so much hacking, for example, is
fundamentally anonymous - all that seems to exist are the
networks and their dynamics.

Forget our heads and brains, look without looking at the
flexible and networked habitus that constitutes our very
existence on the planet; if we do so we might comprehend a bit
more of the intelligence around us.

(One might argue that what occurs might only be a simulacrum of
intelligence, certainly not of consciousness. I err on the side
of consciousness. We had, for close to a year, a fresh-water
crayfish in a tank with fish and plants; we observed it (sex
indeterminate) for a year, and it seemed clear to us that it was
capable of recognition (it could tell us apart), trans-species
relationships (with one fish in particular, with us as well),
learning and meta-learning in Bateson's sense (based on climbing
behavior), and so forth. Recognition was mutual recognition,
that much was clear; whether or not the crayfish thought us
worthy of consciousness seemed almost beside the point.)

States), the new songs are at

Barely escaping human smoke
Angels beautiful in chorus
In chorus embers even higher
And soft, slow sweeps of sky
More planets she cries
More planets she remembers^

O smoke, O human, O smoke of others embers
O songs, O singing, O smoke of dying embers

And every day another
With its smoke and moons and bother
There comes life in choral embers
Lives apart in dark departures
Dreaming arches full of mist
And someones painful sadness^

O smoke, O human, O smoke of others embers
O songs, O singing, O smoke of dying embers

The cosmos bears and burns
Uncanny flesh and tissues
There are ones of sadness thinking
Everywhere among the stars
And someones striking someone
Someones world is disappearing^

O smoke, O human, O smoke of others embers
O songs, O singing, O smoke of dying embers

Re: [NetBehaviour] Maecenas

2017-10-06 Thread Alan Sondheim


I noticed this -

"Maecenas touts itself as a blockchain platform that, according to its 
creators, will democratise access to fine art. For the first time, the 
Maecenas website enthuses, technology will allow investors, collectors and 
owners to exchange shares in paintings and sculptures instantly, akin to 
the way stocks of a company are traded today."


This does NOT democratise access to art; it's nothing more than a secure 
way to protect and exchange's one investment - which plays into the notion 
of enclaving described in Mike Davis' City of Quartz (think it was written 
in the 80s). Art has to RESIST enclaving, unless one accepts useless 
decoration and connoisseurship as the only form of art worth considering.


One of the amazing things about Furtherfield is, at least as far as I can 
tell, it itself is a form of resistance! I'd thank God for this, but given 
the state of things on the planet, I wouldn't want to burden Her with more 
communication.

Thanks for sharing this; it's incredibly moving to hear the beeps (and now

dear all

a Russian friend who lives in Alberta sent me this reminder yesterday,

I share it here with you.



On October 4, 1957, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite 
to orbit Earth. The satellite, an 85-kilogram (187-pound) metal sphere the size 
of a basketball, was launched on a huge rocket and orbited Earth at 29,000 
kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour) for three months. When it finally 
fell out of orbit in January 1958, Sputnik had traveled 70 million kilometers 
(43.5 million miles) around the planet. The only cargo onboard Sputnik was a 
low-power radio transmitter, which broadcast a beeping noise at regular 
intervals. This beeping could be heard by radio listeners around the world.

A year after the launch of Sputnik, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower created the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), formally launching the "Space 
Race" between the United States and the Soviet Union. This competition in 
technological development would lead to the Moon landing, space shuttle, and 
International Space Station, which still orbits Earth today.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) might be considered
by many as synonyms, also because they are the buzzwords of this decade.
But actually they are not. They both question though, the ability of the
machines to perform and complete tasks in a “smart” way, challenging human
intelligence and specificity.

With machines becoming more and more intelligent, Machine Learning is
nowadays not only an interesting and challenging topic, but also a crucial
discipline. If initially computing was just a matter of calculations, now
it has moved beyond simple “processing” and implies also “learning”. In the
age of Big Data and IoT, machines are asked to go beyond pure programming
and algorithms procedures, introducing also predictions of data, OCR and
semantic analysis, learning from past experiences and adapting to external
inputs, reaching out the domain of human productions and processes.

As Gene Kogan and Francis Tseng write in their in-development book “Machine
Learning for Artists”, we can “pose today to machines a single abstract
problem: determine the relationship between our observations or data, and
our desired task. This can take the form of a function or model which takes
in our observations, and calculates a decision from them. The model is
determined from experience, by giving it a set of known pairs of
observations and decisions. Once we have the model, we can make predicted
outputs””.

So, the subject of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence methods
more in general, are going thusly much further the technology or science
fields, impacting also arts, product design, experimental fashion and
creativity in general. As ML features can fit with digital arts practices,
we're lead to explore the way some AI techniques can be used to enhance
human performative gestures and creativity models.

How biological systems and machine intelligence can collaborate to create
art, and which is the cultural outcome for our society? Which is the new
role of creativity in this scenario? How the contemporary will face a
future generation of automated artificial artists/designers, able to learn
from the creatives themselves, or to have a direct impact on human
creativity? Will the anthropocentric vision of the creative process behind
the artistic creation, affected by new intelligent Neural Networks?

[NetBehaviour] Call for submissions - The 3rd Cranbrook Video Festival : Family

2017-10-02 Thread Edward Picot

Dear all,

The third Cranbrook Video Festival is now open for submissions.

For the second successive year the Festival will be held at the Crane 
Surgery in Cranbrook, and the theme of the festival this year will be 
'Family'. Videos on other subjects will be accepted for consideration, 
but videos about family are particularly welcome.


At the surgery we have been running a Wellbeing Project for the last few 
months, and feedback from patients indicates that the one thing they 
identify as most important to their wellbeing is family. But families in 
the modern world are under increasing stress from consumerist values, 
the struggle to make ends meet, rising divorce rates, homelessness and 
displacement, and of course the dementia 'tsunami'.


For this year's Festival, we'd particularly like to receive videos on 
the subject of family, whatever your take on that subject may happen to 
be.  Videos should ideally be under 10 minutes in length, but longer 
work will be considered.


The festival will be held at the Crane Surgery in Cranbrook, Kent on 
Saturday 17/2/18. The deadline for submissions is 30th December. If 
interested, please contact julian.les...@gmail.com with "Video festival 
submission" in the subject-line.

  as we are by capitalism, mass marketing and mass
  media. But no, it doesn't define us or completely
  contain us. We can still be human in spite of it. At
  least I hope we can: and I hope that along with
  Blockchain art and the like, we can still have an art
  that celebrates and explores the bits of existence
  that the Blockchain and the like can't comprehend.
  Beyond the plantoids there are still real plants.

  Edward

2017-10-02 Thread marc.garrett
Design 4 ACTION! Permaculture Course at Furtherfield for 6 weekends
https://spiralseed.co.uk/product/design-4-action-2/

Venue: Furtherfield Commons/Lab, Finsbury Park, London

Led By: The course will be taught by Graham Burnett (Dip. Perm Des), Claire 
White (Dip. Perm Des), James Taylor (MSc. Human Ecology) and some great guest 
teachers.

Dates: 6 weekends, October 2017 to March 2018

London’s Permaculture Design Course – Design 4 ACTION (Active Community 
Transformation In Our Neighbourhoods) is a different kind of permaculture 
course – positive design for your life, your community and your world by 
empowering the genius inside all of us! D4A is about regenerative learning, 
enabling individuals, organisations and communities to come together over six 
weekends to create empowering solutions to the real world challenges we are all 
facing in these times of change. Adapted from the Permaculture Association 
(Britain)’s PDC core curriculum, this is a person-centred, fun, lively and 
inclusive course, exploring and utilising concepts such as Systems Thinking, 
Holistic Design, Community Empowerment, ‘Whole Person’ Health, Skill Sharing, 
Critical Thinking, Appreciative Inquiry, Right Livelihoods and much more.

The format is participatory and dynamic using diverse visual, audio and 
kinesthetic learning methods such as individual and group work, games, problem 
solving, discussion, observation, field trips, practical activities, lectures 
and slideshows. This course will be hosted at Furtherfield Commons in Finsbury 
Park, a new and exciting partnership project at the cutting edges of dynamic 
cultural change: “We believe that through creative and critical engagement with 
practices in art and technology people are inspired and enabled to become 
active co-creators of their cultures and societies.”

many sizes stars and black holes peek at one another
