Aren't you overcrediting the interacting screen experience and underestimating the radical alterity of how we deal with screens from other tools-body-real interactions? It's a problem i have with Baudrillard and the like too, it adds to my decision to dismiss 'm, sayin sth like sorry no time for this- i mean i draw too: no way there's any resemblance of my screen interaction, the amount of body i can put into a pencil gets 'real' enough, perhaps we can already achieve something similar with digigloves but i very much doubt it, digital reality keeps its distance in a very abstract psycho-realm. It doesn't make it less powerful/influential, but different. The Bellmer drawings don't have the same revealing power on screen either, looking at the real drawing makes an enormous difference. So, inversely i feel i need to alter drawings/painting to make 'm work on screen. The same goes for text/poetry, it's a different coding process. i can see the connections you 're making, i don't feel any validation in fact. I replied: OK to forward this to the list? Let me know. All my examples of how Bellmer applies to cyberspace/the digital are negative/critical, e.g. The parallel, I think, is the continuous stream of ascii characters as an end in itself, or the fetishization of algorithmic processing in digital poetry. So, Bellmer for me, indicates a perversity (as noted) in our experience of the digital, and part of this perversity would be - as you note - overcrediting the interacting screen experience. There are clear problems with this model, most notably in the disappearance of the body-reflex into the image: this seems to me too quick, too much of an emphasis on the pleasure of the surface and not of the absent body that makes it possible. Nonetheless, I still hold that Bellmer is describing the projection/introjection process of our culture's cyber-experience - the cool neutrality of the digital I called it. In this way, I would hold that the drawing do have a revealing/concealing power. We might say that this is their problem.

Re: origin of Measurement, language
This was really nice. Im a lapsed Peircean myself and have an ongoing fascination with the question of how representation works as sign action to create the possibility of the virtual. Im even more fascinated by the possibility that explorations of how the virtual is created and maintained will eventually reveal how the real that is the ruler of virtuality is created and maintained. You would love John Deelys work. --- Alan Sondheim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Origin of Measurement There's a hill over there (gestures) No there's a couple of hills Wait I'll be right back It's like skin I'm uncomfortable skinning around here I skinned that hill Btw I'm still working with the .obj files as you can see from the scanner - one of the things I'm interested in is the phenomenology of measurement - how the digital is extracted, along with attendant institutionalization, from the analog - and the images, with their 'peelings' and ruptures (Blender can deconstruct the Geomagic assemblages) are guides in this of course. The particular series I'm working with is based on the ruler - which is only an object with repetition - in any environment. Btw again - the rotation of the turntable incrementally connects with the perceptual stitching of motion in film - which connects again with the phenomenology of interpenetrating image stage, etc. etc. What constitutes a mark or token? When does a surface anomaly become demarcation or inscription? What constitutes discrimination? The images constitute the skin of the ruler in the real, a ruler whose surface plays tumor, eruption, swelling. This is difficult theoretically - the trialectic among the physico-inert of the world; measure; and body / symbolic - the playing of the surface is, after all, inscription. I hunt; I return; I'm scratched. Therefore I was hunting. I walk; I return; I'm stung. Therefore there were bees. The simplest model - that of the gesture (Tran duc Thao) - in combination with the reading of the world. Already; bees read. But our reading is plastic, deductive, transformative, morph- ing. This is what the body brings to the ruler; this is what the ruler brings to the body. Measure is tally is measure; what is brought to writing, accountancy, tokens in Sumer, elsewhere. Fingers always already are enumerations, mnemonics; pigeons recognize specific quantities. Perhaps a false derivation, _etymology_: our very nakedness, the 'naked ape,' creates an inscribable surface, Peirce's sheet of assertion. Already there; without fur or scale, nothing is obliterated, forgotten; what is traumatic, scars. Fur covers, re/covers; continuous growth is continuous erasure. Ruptures of the skin already are rulers, Rulers by detour of writing, skin carried into the social, inhabitation - skin as construct of inhabitation. Our nakedness sexualizes, effaces, inscribes. The digital inscribes the ruler into the analog/abject _or so it appears._ This is what is presented here, accompanying this text, which is no doubt more accurate than one might be led to believe (by the voice, all but obscuring the skin).* http://www.asondheim.org/ originofmeasure jpgs *(Therefore the skinwork in my world/work in relation.)

I am reading _Little Anatomy of the Physical Unconscious or The Antomy
of the Image_ by Hans Bellmer. This is the English translation of his
only text, relating more or less to his artistic practice. I read it
quickly before, now more slowly. It is a skeleton key to cyberspace.
Bellmer begins:
I believe that the various modes of expression: postures, gestures,
actions, sounds, words, the creation of graphics or object... all result
from the same set of psycho-physiological mechanisms and obey the same
law of birth. The basic expression, one that has no preconceived
objective, is a reflex. To what need, to what physical impulse does it
respond?
For example, among all the various reflexes provoked by a toothache,
let us examine the violent contraction of the muscles of the hand and
fingers, a contraction so intense it compels the fingernails to pierce
the skin. This clenched fist is an artificial focal point of excitation,
a virtual 'tooth' that creates a diversion by directing the flow of
blood and nerve impulses away from the actual center of pain to lessen
it. The toothache is thus divided in half at the hand's expense. The
visible expression that results is its 'logical pathos.'
Ought we to conlcude from this that the most violent as well as the
most imperceptivle reflexive bodily change - whether occuring in the
face, a limb, the tongue, or a muscle - would be simply explicable as a
propensity to confuse and bisect a pain through the creation of a
virtual center of excitement? This can be regarded as a certainty, which
thereby compels us to imagine the desired continuity of our expressive
life in the form of a series of deliberate transports leading from the
malaise to its image. Expression with its pleasure component is a
displaced pain and a deliverance.
Now, in describing these virtual centers of excitement - we might say,
nodes or links, intensities in the net - Bellmer invokes a mapping (or
raster) of perceptually mobile interoceptive diagrams. He emphasizes
the oddness or perversity of these diagrams. They are built around the
permissable and forbidden, around superimpositions and representations,
in short, by -jectivities and coding process leading to amalgams such as
Bellmer's famous doll or the sex-armpit he uses as an example in this
book. The process is two-fold: introjection of the dangerous object,
then projection onto perception (and onto organs of perception; the
image of sex having slid over the eye). We do not see images of the
virtual but we see with the virtual. The body images seen are images of
my body. I see means I see with myself. This virtualization and
mapping occurs at all sites of experience, where the superhuman quality
of perception through part objects results from the projected body, e.g.
the power to see with one's hand, as the mouse/hand crosses the screen
is like the toothache Bellmer begins with.
Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel describes Bellmer's art (and so his theory of
the image) as a universe submitted to the total abolitions of the
limits between the objects and even between their molecules, a universe
which has become totally malleable ('Anything can be done'). We should
apply this description to the cool neutrality of the digital. Elsewhere
she adds: In the universe I am describing, the world has been engulged
in a gigantic grinding machine (the digestive tract) and has been
reduced to homogeneous excremental particles. Then all is equivalent.
The distinction between 'before' and 'after' has disappeared, as, too,
of course, has history.
Bellmer's model for analyzing the image and the physical unconscious is
linguistic. He invokes palindromes, where reversibility is the mechanism
of pleasure rather than meaning. He intends this as the correlate of the
image-amalgam (e.g. sex-armpit) as virtual center of excitement.
Physical reflex disappears into the image; in fact, the image is the
absence of the reflex, and its virtuality and excitement are built on
this absence. The image is cleansed of the body but just this makes the
entire image a sexual hieroglyph. We are dealing with a perverse
mechanism, in Chasseguet-Smirgel's terms, where the image seen only
confirms the machine that we inhabit. Here, the binding and totalizing
effect of symbolic processes becomes the source of value. The parallel,
I think, is the

let us examine the violent contraction of the muscles of the hand
and
fingers, a contraction so intense it compels the fingernails to
pierce
the skin. This clenched fist is an artificial focal point of
excitation,
a virtual 'tooth' that creates a diversion by directing the flow of
blood and nerve impulses away from the actual center of pain to
lessen
it. The toothache is thus divided in half at the hand's expense. The
visible expression that results is its 'logical pathos.'
Ought we to conlcude from this that the most violent as well as the
most imperceptivle reflexive bodily change - whether occuring in the
face, a limb, the tongue, or a muscle - would be simply explicable as
a
propensity to confuse and bisect a pain through the creation of a
virtual center of excitement? This can be regarded as a certainty,
which
thereby compels us to imagine the desired continuity of our
expressive
life in the form of a series of deliberate transports leading from
the
malaise to its image. Expression with its pleasure component is a
displaced pain and a deliverance.
Now, in describing these virtual centers of excitement - we might
say,
nodes or links, intensities in the net - Bellmer invokes a mapping
(or
raster) of perceptually mobile interoceptive diagrams. He
emphasizes
the oddness or perversity of these diagrams. They are built around
the
permissable and forbidden, around superimpositions and
representations,
in short, by -jectivities and coding process leading to amalgams such
as
Bellmer's famous doll or the sex-armpit he uses as an example in
this
book. The process is two-fold: introjection of the dangerous object,
then projection onto perception (and onto organs of perception; the
image of sex having slid over the eye). We do not see images of the
virtual but we see with the virtual. The body images seen are images
of
my body. I see means I see with myself. This virtualization and
mapping occurs at all sites of experience, where the superhuman
quality
of perception through part objects results from the projected body,
e.g.
the power to see with one's hand, as the mouse/hand crosses the
screen
is like the toothache Bellmer begins with.
Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel describes Bellmer's art (and so his theory
of
the image) as a universe submitted to the total abolitions of the
limits between the objects and even between their molecules, a
universe
which has become totally malleable ('Anything can be done'). We
should
apply this description to the cool neutrality of the digital.
Elsewhere
she adds: In the universe I am describing, the world has been
engulged
in a gigantic grinding machine (the digestive tract) and has been
reduced to homogeneous excremental particles. Then all is
equivalent.
The distinction between 'before' and 'after' has disappeared, as,
too,
of course, has history.
Bellmer's model for analyzing the image and the physical unconscious
is
linguistic. He invokes palindromes, where reversibility is the
mechanism
of pleasure rather than meaning. He intends this as the correlate of
the
image-amalgam (e.g. sex-armpit) as virtual center of excitement.
Physical reflex disappears into the image; in fact, the image is the
absence of the reflex, and its virtuality and excitement are built
on
this absence. The image is cleansed of the body but just this makes
the
entire image a sexual hieroglyph. We are dealing
Steve Irwin
Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter died at 44 today. For years he has been an inspiration to me and many others; Azure and I donated to his conserva- tion organization, even while we've been struggling. More than a showman, he brought conservation - and conservation of reptiles, invertebrates, etc. - home to millions of people. Given the endangered status of so many animals on the planet, his presence was a gift. He'll be badly missed. - Alan blog at http://nikuko.blogspot.com - for URLs, DVDs, CDs, books/etc. see http://www.asondheim.org/advert.txt - contact [EMAIL PROTECTED], - general directory of work: http://www.asondheim.org Trace at: http://tracearchive.ntu.ac.uk - search Alan Sondheim http://clc.as.wvu.edu:8080/clc/Members/sondheim
