I should tell you the performance won't be any different from what you're seeing now, honestly. I might be a bit more nervous, that's all. Graphics are graphics. Well, anyway these were done around the time of the scandal over the Abu Gharayb prison in Iraq. And some of the guards involved in that, they were from West Virginia. And this was produced near the area where the guards, some of them, were from. So it was natural for me to work with disturbed, torn bodies - here's another one - you might have already seen this last night - I'm supposed to start in six minutes but this is only forty seconds long! I've used up all my material! FUCK! Maybe you'd like to hear a kid screaming. This kid from West Virginia can do this! I can't. I don't know how he does it. His family "doesn't encourage him." You just can't get enough of screaming kids! Think positive, think MARTHA STEWART! (Have you seen Wednesday's The Apprentice? I had to show this stuff instead. I don't know who got kicked off.

I "fell" for her. More of the West Virginia work. Somewhere between avatars and shamans and the torture at Abu Gharayb there lies a whole politics. I can't tell you the politicxs "but I can tell you this/" These figures were animated by using motion graphics - a motion graphic device - by messing with the mapping of the sensors that are placed on the body - rearranging them - just as figures are rearranged in torture - just as torture (and Merce Cunningham for another example) pays little attention to the natural attitudes of the body. So the body - with the motion sensor stuff - was divided and splayed and redivied and the result is a remapping back on to bodies that makes little sense but for a kind of emotional economy (TURN AWAY YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO SEE THIS BLUSH!) Instead of being introduced, think of this as an introduction: MY NAME IS ALAN SONDHEIM AND I AM NOT ON MY MEDICATION !! !!!WWELL, hmm, that's enough of that...

_.echo mitochondria 1_
_.echo mitochondria 1_ The relationship between, lipid peroxidation induced by ascorbate and adenosine ADP/Fe3+, and its effect on the respiratory chain activities of beef heart submitochondrial particles has been investigated. Lipid peroxidation, measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substance formation, resulted in an inhibition of the NADH and succinate oxidase activities. Examination of several partial reactions of the respiratory chain revealed inactivation primarily of those involving endogenous ubiquinone, i.e., NADH- and succinate-ubiquinone and cytochrome c reductases. Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, measured with reduced ubiquinone as electron donor, was unaffected. The amount of NADH- or succinate-reducible cytochrome b in the presence of cyanide was strongly decreased, but could be recovered by the addition of antimycin. There occurred a substantial decrease of the ubiquinone content in the course of lipid peroxidation, with a linear relationship between this decrease and the NADH and succinate oxidase activities. The results are consistent with the conclusion that the ubiquinone pool undergoes an oxidative modification during lipid peroxidation, to a form that can no longer function as a component of the respiratory chain. Lipid peroxidation also led to a partial inhibition of the succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase activities and a minor decrease of the cytochrome c and cytochrome a contents. Reduction of endogenous ubiquinone prevented lipid peroxidation as well as the concomitant modification of ubiquinone and inactivation of the respiratory chain. These observations suggest that the destruction of ubiquinone through lipid peroxidation is the primary cause of inactivation of the respiratory chain, and emphasize the antioxidant role of ubiquinol in preventing these effects. The possible implications of these findings for regulation of the cellular turnover of ubiquinone by the prevailing oxidative stress are discussed. During the progression of certain degenerative conditions, including myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, mitochondria are a source of increased free-radical generation and exhibit declines in respiratory function(s). It has therefore been suggested that oxidative damage to mitochondrial components plays a critical role in the pathology of these processes. Polyunsaturated fatty acids of membrane lipids are prime molecular targets of free-radical damage. A major product of lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), is highly cytotoxic and can readily react with and damage protein. In this study, the effects of HNE on intact cardiac mitochondria were investigated to gain insight into potential mechanisms by which free radicals mediate mitochondrial dysfunction. Exposure of mitochondria to micromolar concentrations of HNE caused rapid declines in NADH-linked but not succinate-linked state 3 and uncoupled respiration. The activity of complex I was unaffected by HNE under the conditions of our experiments. Loss of respiratory activity reflected the inability of HNE-treated mitochondria to meet NADH demand during maximum rates of O2 consumption. HNE exerted its effects on intact mitochondria by inactivating alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. These results therefore identify a potentially important mechanism by which free radicals bring about declines in mitochondrial respiration.

In a nut's shel.. Science Makes Sex Obsolete Wired News, Dec. 1, 2005 In the Nov. 1, 2004, issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team led by Ralph Brinster at the University of Pennsylvania managed to grow mouse "spermatagonial stem cells" in a dish. Also known as SSCs, they are the type of stem cells that eventually become sperm. It gets even more interesting when you learn what Brinster did with sperm stem cells in 2001. In that study, he and his team changed the genetic program of SSCs. Because these are sex cells, any changes scientists might introduce to their genes will be carried from generation to generation. This is called a "germ line" change, and it's a line that the majority of bioethicists agree should not be crossed, because it raises the specter of DNA eugenics.

I woke up crying...
in the dream it is a war torn battlefield, there's some kind of checkpoint it's unclear, multiple armies, a troup carrier is trying to get through, there's some trouble, the checkpoint soliders don't want to let through a group of soldiers who have a prisoner in their vehicle because of his nationality. i say 'his' here, but the soldiers don't really seem explicitly male, though they are masculine. the leader concedes to leave the prisoner to move on, but the prisoner protests knowing his fate. the truck takes off, and the prisoner makes a break running for the back of the truck where some soldiers are holding out their hands to help in get back in. just as he takes their hands a rifleshot rings out. the two soldiers lock eyes and then they KISS! everything starts to get thin and slow down, there's a kind of vortex in the KISS! the two soldiers are enacting a kind of ancient farewell between the alienated individual and the socius. and there's a soundtrack.. a beautiful voice singing, a kind of slow jazzy, the humanity gets modulated in different ways: Huumaaannityyy, It was your very fiirst kiiisss.. Huumaaannityyy, It was your very laast ksss... and it just keeps repeating, and a montage of battle-scenes plays, and scenes or memories of mothers kissing their newborn infants, people kissing the elderly, people kissing the dead, the dieing..

Protect Pandas, Polar Bears, and Snow Leopards (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 15:10:58 -0500 (EST) From: WWF Conservation Action Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Protect Pandas, Polar Bears, and Snow Leopards Dear Alan, WWF activists like you are already helping pandas, polar bears, and snow leopards in many ways -- by speaking out against attempts to weaken the Endangered Species Act, opposing drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and supporting proposed legislation to protect snow leopards and other wild cats. Thanks in part to these efforts, the Endangered Species Act is still in place and the Arctic Refuge remains wild and free, although both are still at risk. We'll be counting on your support on these fronts in the coming months. But right now, during the holiday season, there's something more that you can do for imperiled species: adopt one! Go to http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/ctt.asp?u=30516&l=111981 "Adopted" polar bears, snow leopards, and pandas make perfect gifts for friends and family who care about protecting these animals from threats like climate change, habitat loss, and illegal poaching. Select from a wide variety of symbolic adoption options, like a single snow leopard, a polar bear family, or a pair of lovable panda cubs. All of the money raised through these adoptions will go to protect these animals in the wild, along with the habitat and healthy environment that they -- and we -- depend on. Visit WWF's Winter Adoption Center today and complete all of your holiday shopping early! http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/ctt.asp?u=30516&l=111981 We make it easy for you to buy gifts for everyone in one simple visit. And, when you make more than one adoption, you'll receive a WWF thermal beverage container as an extra thank you. Please tell your friends about the WWF Adoption Center.

State Proposal Threatens Blue Spring Manatees (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 15:32:26 -0800 (PST) From: Save the Manatee Club <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Save the Manatee Club <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .org> To: Alan Sondheim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: State Proposal Threatens Blue Spring Manatees STATE PROPOSAL THREATENS OUR MANATEES AT BLUE SPRING Comments Needed by January 15, 2006 Hi Alan, Blue Spring State Park is the winter refuge to well over 140 manatees (including Save the Manatee Club's adoptees Whiskers, Howie, Nick, and Dana), and is one of only two places in the state where the manatee population actually appears to be increasing. Blue Spring is one of the very few natural warm water refuges remaining in Florida for manatees. The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) has been tasked with assigning a "minimum flow" by state rule for Blue Spring. The most recently revised SJRWMD proposal and supporting report still show that their proposed "minimum flow" would allow spring flow to be reduced by at least 15%, which will reduce the currently available warm water refuge area for manatees by at least 35% (from 348 feet to 218 feet) under severe conditions. In addition, the SJRWMD proposal still doesn't require the flow to be restored to present levels until the year 2024. Less flow from the spring means less warm water available for manatees and more cold water moving up the spring run from the St. Johns River. Save the Manatee Club believes no reduction in flow should be authorized and that historic flow levels should be restored. WHAT YOU CAN DO: -If you live in Florida, please attend the public workshop on December 6 in Deltona (see information below). -For more information on this issue, or if you can't attend the workshop, please click here to send an online letter http://www.savethemanatee.org/actionalert.cfm?id=8 -If you would like to send a personalized letter, e-mail, or fax, please see contact information below. DIRECTIONS AND CONTACT INFORMATION: FLORIDA RESIDENTS: Please attend the public workshop on December 6, 2005 in Deltona at the time and location listed below. We need as many people as possible to attend the hearing and speak out for better protection of Blue Spring, the most important manatee warm water refuge on the St. Johns River. We will also need your attendance at the SJRWMD Governing Board Meeting tentatively set for early February. Blue Spring Minimum Flow Public Workshop City of Deltona Commission Chambers 2345 Providence Blvd., Deltona, FL 32725 December 6, 2005, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Phone: (386) 561-2100 (see driving directions at the end of this e-mail) IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND, OR FOR THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA, AND WANT TO SEND A PERSONALIZED LETTER, FAX, OR E-MAIL: Please contact Florida Governor Jeb Bush and the SJRWMD Governing Board chairman and tell them the proposal is unacceptable and that the SJRWMD should adopt a minimum average flow for Blue Spring at NO LESS THAN THE CURRENT MEAN ANNUAL FLOW (156.6 cfs), with a long-term goal of recovering the historic flow. Written, faxed or e-mail comments will be accepted through January 15, 2006. If you e-mail, be sure to put "SAY NO TO DISTRICT'S BLUE SPRING PROPOSAL" in your subject line. IN ADDITION, please write, e-mail or fax Sam Hamilton, SE Regional Director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Secretary Colleen Castille of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Urge the Service to maintain their past position that supports keeping the spring's flow at current levels with no reduction at all, as to do otherwise will result in an incidental "take" of manatees (including habitat alteration and reduced carrying capacity, injury, or death) under the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act and impair the recovery of manatees. Urge the Florida DEP to take the responsibility for setting minimum flows (at current levels) at Blue Spring State Park if the SJRWMD is unwilling to do so.

I've always been intrigued by the relationship between 'live' art or performance and performative text. Unfortunately, I never found a decent way to tackle it. I remember trying to introduce a conflict between performance documentation and the live act itself, but both strata just kept pulling things apart. Come to think of it, maybe I should have just accepted the 'pulling apart' and tried to let it find its own way. OK, I'm just babbling.
