The ARPANET Dialogues Vol.III
The third installment of the ongoing online archive project The ARPANET
Dialogues is now online. This is installment is the transcription for an
ARPANET conversation that took place in March 1976 between between four figures
from the 1970s-era art community: German
artist, educator and activist, Joseph Beuys; Chilean-born multimedia
artist and filmmaker, Juan Downey; Rosalind Krauss, art critic and
co-founder of the new journal October; and the world-renown British sculptor,
Henry Moore.

About the ARPANET Dialogues:
In the period between 1975 and 1979, the Agency convened a rare series
of conversations between an eccentric cast of characters representing a
wide range of perspectives within the contemporary social, political
and cultural milieu. The ARPANET Dialogues is a
serial document which archives these conversations. Even more unusual
perhaps was the specific circumstances of the conversation: taking
advantage of recent developments in telecommunications technology, the
conversation was conducted via an instant messaging application
networked by computers plugged into ARPANET, the United States
Department of Defense’s experimental computer network. All participants
in the conversation were given special access to terminals connected to
ARPANET, many of them located in US military installations or
DOD-sponsored research institutions around the world. Excerpts from each
session will be published as they become available. The ARPANET Dialogues is
an ongoing research project by Bassam El Baroni, Jeremy Beaudry and Nav Haq.
