[monochrom] Obama and the Left
Obama's election victory last week was generally greeted with warmth and a healthy degree of scepticism by those on, or leaning towards, the left. Of course, almost everybody felt a degree of Schadenfreude at the defeat of the McCain-Palin ticket. The extent of the 'Change' that can reasonably be expected from an Obama presidency, however, remains open for debate. http://www.zmag.org/znet/viewArticle/19595Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/11/obama-and-left.htmmonochrom at 11/13/2008 02:13:00 PM
[monochrom] Googorama / Update
I just got a nice email by Roberto Winter/Googorama. Hi there Johannes, You probably don't remember, but a very long time ago you posted this on monochrom: http://monochrom.at/english/2007/07/googorama.htmhttp://monochrom.at/english/2007/07/googorama.htm that, eventually, led to this: http://photo.net/street-documentary-photography-forum/00LzqUhttp://photo.net/street-documentary-photography-forum/00LzqU and finally ended up being insightfully developed by an art critic and curator from Brazil (Tadeu Chiarelli). He gave a speech a while ago that centered on googorama, but discussed other aspects of contemporary arts' production related to digital, net.art, photography and so on. I have just translated his speech to english and I feel almost obliged to have it get back to you, since you sort of started the whole process, you can find a PDF of the translation here: http://rhwinter.com/tadeu_chiarelli_en.pdfrhwinter.com/tadeu_chiarelli_en.pdf (I've also posted it back to Rhizome: http://rhizome.org/discuss/view/26641http://rhizome.org/discuss/view/26641 ) I feel this is especially relevant to you since monochrom is cited directly, and also because Chiarelli implies how important these means of communication are for understanding the unfolding of contemporary arts' (hi)story and production. Well, hope you have the time to read and enjoy it. Regards, Roberto -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/11/googorama-update.htmmonochrom at 11/13/2008 02:06:00 PM
[monochrom] Longitude forged: An eighteenth-century hoax
How an eighteenth-century hoax has taken in Dava Sobel and other historians. Most people know something of the events in 1714 when the British government instituted a prize for the discovery of a successful way to find longitude at sea. The aim was to reduce the heavy toll of shipwrecks caused by the crude navigational method of dead reckoning. Dava Sobel gave new life to this episode in her bestselling book, Longitude: The true story of a lone genius who solved the greatest scientific problem of his time (1995), which inspired the widely viewed television programme Lost at Sea (aired in 1998). After these came a feature film directed by Charles Sturridge in 1999, starring Michael Gambon and Jeremy Irons. All these versions place at their centre the heroic figure of John Harrison and his struggles to perfect a clock which would finally carry off the prize of £20,000. Meanwhile, an early rival who figures in the tale has gone down in history as another projector from Yorkshire, named Jeremy Thacker. Unfortunately Thacker never existed and his proposal now emerges as a hoax. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/the_tls/article5136819.eceLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/11/longitude-forged-eighteenth-century.htmmonochrom at 11/13/2008 02:16:00 PM
[monochrom] Cassini Finds Mysterious New Aurora On Saturn
Saturn has its own unique brand of aurora that lights up the polar cap, unlike any other planetary aurora known in our solar system. This odd aurora revealed itself to one of the infrared instruments on NASA's Cassini spacecraft. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081112142129.htmLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2008/11/cassini-finds-mysterious-new-aurora-on.htmmonochrom at 11/13/2008 02:09:00 PM
