Coalition of Canadian Art Professionals Releases Open Letter on Copyright

Re: report_on_NNA

I find this all very interesting and I would like to point out that the term "list lurker" does nothing to encourage participation, but creates a quality of power. Is the "list lurker" part of a necessary culture, giving authority to those who post regularly ("list dominators?")? I also wonder if a

Re: report_on_NNA

friends, so long as we can limit this debate to a few days, i think it is a welcome occasion to think about one of the wonders of the online world - after all, Nettime is still one of the most interesting and most active (and kicking) mailing lists with a relatively consistent topical field, after

Re: report_on_NNA

Hi all, just a few comments. I enjoyed the Montreal nettime online and the tech worked out fine. It is really a shame that the announcement of this (online) event came through only hours after the event ended. The reason for this is simple. Ted and Felix should be thanked for their massive wo

Re: report_on_NNA

Folks: Time(s) moves along -- especially nettime(s). Forgive me if this has already been stated but there were a number of specific "conditions" that made nettime possible -- the inflating of the Internet Bubble in the late 90's, the disruption in many people's lives as funding for artistic/a

Re: report_on_NNA

One of the things I like best about nettime is the high signal-to-noise ratio, and I think it's got better over the last few years. It seems to me that a lot of thought generally goes into the postings that appear here, thanks both to the authors and the moderators. So if a day goes by without an

Happy Lurker counts her blessings

Dear Nettime, Over the last 10 years, since the beginning, I have been a happy lurker of nettime list. I enjoyed the writing of so many contributors and appreciated the work of the moderators. It has given me an opportunity to follow certain developments without having to indulge in them.

Re: report_on_NNA

hi all, and thanks for (finally) some serious discussion about the list and the --more or less complicated--dynamics existing within it. I will be very short as I'm posting from a very unconfortable location in overpacked Amsterdam (by the way, if someone from there wants to meet that would be sup

Re: Re: hear ye, hear ye... truce for NNA discussion

Hello from Winnipeg... You know, I thought of unsubscribing to nettime; only to come up against the cold hard truth that this would mean the net/web we all got so excited about had finally been completely co-opted by "those in control" so now I post kinda like I call the "phone-in shows" - cra

Re: hear ye, hear ye... truce for NNA discussion

That's what nettime is, a selective taz-scented flypaper with imperfect glue, now and then one of these things get caught, you watch them buzz about, and then they fly away. Weirder ones get hooked to it and come back. But it's the best show in the flytrap town, as the alternative is watching heap

RE: cybernetics and the Internet, Was: NNA...

I was not intending to suggest that the attendees of the Macy conferences were military mathematicians (although some like Wiener clearly were), rather that the Macy conferences saw social scientists, like Mead, consider questions of cybernetics and feedback in their fields, as well as in greater s

Awesome--a nice start would be to de-moderate the list; that is, remove the intelligentsia filters, moderation and so on, no? NRIII Nicholas Ruiz III ABD/GTA Interdisciplinary Program in the Humanities --Florida State University-- Editor, Kritikos http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~nr03/ -Origi

Re: report_on_NNA

Hello everyone, I've been on nettime since at least 2000, if not 1999, my memory escapes me now. Regardless, I experienced the first and second parts that Brian Holmes refers to. One thing that I have noticed about not just nettime but, in more general terms, other online collaborations and o

Re: life and lurking in Berlin

As an intermittent poster who has fallen into quiet lurkerdom over the last several years, I have to say that nettime is still one of my favorite reads. I delete most mail from other lists unread, but I at least skim almost everything that goes by here. I am on the other side of a 20-year a

Re: report_on_NNA ---> NE ?

dear nettimers, Interesting that when the list turns on itself (attention-wise) it suddenly comes alive! Makes me think that maybe it would be a good idea to organise also a Nettime Europe meeting - would be fun. Of course Felix would be invited (he's based in Europe already for some time)
