Re: Speculative Intergalactic Network
I very much like the idea of a communication network expanded to aliens (us included) and the question of imperialistic subordination of ones by others. It would probably not be called internet, require a better understanding and use of our "other senses and sensors". Maybe it exists and we dumbs don't perceive it... or we don't know that certain waves effects are signs of it... or we produce too much electromagnetic pollution to be able to catch it, or... Just fro the fun. Do you know Italo Calvino's Cosmicomics. There is a tasty novel talking precisely about intergalactic communication, that is worth reading. For the first amateur radio satellite, they could call it Loretta Strong ( from Copi's theater play) or Walt Dangerfield (from P. K. Dick's Dr Bloodmoney). I think that should enable a better communication to/with space, cause they are intergalactically known and explicit, nope ? christine "Spéculez, spéculez, il en sortira toujours quelque chose" Le 11/01/2018 à 16:06, K E N O a écrit : > Let’s assume (so called intelligent) aliens would exist.

In learned one week ago that that type of collective writing in memoriam to somebody is called in french "un tombeau" (same word as for a grabe). This collection of poems (or texts) drawing a portrait of a disappeared poet, was well known at Renaissance time, made a comeback in the XIXth century, and is still there today. I did something similar, without knowing the form and the name, 3 years ago when my companion Pascal flew away. I am very sad to hear that Armin is gone. Another member of our original internet galaxy is gone. We are multitudes but we loose a lot planet-marchers along the way. Probably better for him to go quickly cause the fucking crab is not gentle with its victims. Still remember his colored kitchen in London and am sure that Armin is not far and can read more than our words. christine # distributed via : no commercial use without permission #is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
what can we do for Chelsea Manning
published in the heat of august http://www.politis.fr/blogs/2016/08/je-suis-chelsea-manning-34090/ Will be re-actualised later today. Thanks to nettime for the pointer. http://www.politis.fr/blogs/de-quels-droits-17/ What worries me is I that I tried to contact the support team friday in order to actualize my paper with fresh - hopefully good - niouzes, and I got no answer from them until today. The question is haunting me more and more every might & day : What can we do for Chelsea Manning ? What can be co-invented/co-worked ? Spread the #jesuisChelseaManning : #IamChelseaManning massiveley through les "rezosocios", so it becomes quickly viral ? I guess it has been done already. ... but maybe we could try again. I can give a hand on that in Francophony. Let me know if I'm wrong but obviously some public action, complementary to what is worked out by the support team and the lawyers, would help cause it is election time in USA ... and France and other countries around the planet, and politics have to let us know which side they choose. We sghould be able to raise the question in both chambers in France through some choosen representatives. What else ? Hastle medias ? I can do some of the job with my press contacts . Organize parties to collect money ? Hack TV and radio shows and more if affinities ? Chelsea needs urgent help and I/you/we need urgent answers to take her out of that unhuman, unacceptable, undecent and totally ridiculous situation. US government and army position is not serious and responsible in a period where terrorism has become a real issue. If they lock in and mistreat people like her that way, what are they going to do with mass murderers and fanatics ? Kill them without trial ? Torture them ad libitum ? Sorry for this sudden irruption on the list from somebody who has kept very silent and distant for years now, but I had to it, cause her sufferings are now hoaunting me more and more night and day . virtually Christine T. journalist/artist # distributed via : no commercial use without permission #is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
