FLUXLIST: art version of the Tao te Ching #54

2000-10-20 Thread cecil touchon

The Hidden Sphere (of artistic conserns) #53

1a) To follow the way of harmony is to maintain simplicity and be strait
forward.
1b) Yet, people prefer to follow the side trails.
1c) Be aware of things when they are out of balance; hold to the center.


2a) The museums are filled to overflowing with treasures
which wealthy patrons have donated.
2b) The treasures are meticulously maintained at great expense.
2c) Meanwhile, the artists are barely able to feed their families
and purchase materials for working.
2d) Yet, for a modicum of “exposure”, they are asked to donate their
works for auction
so that, with the funds raised an “important work” can be purchased.

3a) At their fund-raiser events, the tables at the museums are covered
with expensive foods and wine.
3b)The caterers wander about keeping everyone’s glasses full.
3c) The patrons gather in their tuxedos and evening gowns to be seen by
each other
and buy the “local” art for almost nothing. How supportive! How
magnanimous!
3d) This is called robbery and crime.

Lumpy Air

Snake flag s nowing off yr face

FLUXLIST: JeffBerner

2000-10-20 Thread Patricia

To All:

I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Jeff Berner the other
weekend.  You probably know this, but Jeff has been a member of
Fluxus since 1965 and a Fluxus collector, as well.

In the early months of 1999, a show called "The Living Legend of
Fluxus" opened in Spokane, Washington, with works from the
collection of Jeff Berner and the Walker Art Center.  I've been
perusing the written material so graciously given me, and
although all is worthy, I enjoyed Jeff's words the most.  So I
thought I would share them

Best,
PK




Re: FLUXLIST: Lumpy Air

2000-10-20 Thread Patricia


This is not poetry.
A woman in Los Angeles awoke
And wished to photograph a great mountain, which she had viewed from
her very window
Each day the woman equipped herself to photograph the mountain and
trod outside her domain
Each day the mountain was cloaked in smog
In despair she traveled closer and closer, at times walking through
others' homes to get the view she desired
The mountain was always cloaked in smog, no matter her closeness
She then wrote the story of the mountain-in-smog and transferred the
story-of-the-mountain-in-smog
To a lucite-square-that-showed-the-air, in letters stuck on the surface
and placed the square in the air
On her roof
Many months later she recovered the square and removed the letters
She captured the mountain and she captured the smog.
A true tale of lumpy air, made square, told to me (in not these words,
but hers) by Lisa Coscino 10/19/00.

Subject: ec-satyricOn 2000
From: Joseph Nechvatal [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For Immediate Release


Joseph Nechvatal 

ec-satyricOn 2000

October 26 - December 02

Universal Concepts Unlimited announces the opening of ec-satyricOn 2000 (enhanced)+ bodies in the bit-stream (compliant) ­ a digital-based exhibition of recent work by Joseph Nechvatal, on Thursday, October 26 from 6-8 PM.

Since 1985, Joseph Nechvatal has been exploring what he calls the Œviractual¹ image; a complex numeric image which consists of a mixture of drawing, digital-photography, painting, written language, and externalized computer code - all of which is submitted to computational manipulations (including viral attacks). Based loosely around passages from a cyber-sex farce novella he wrote in Paris called ~venus©-~Ñ~vibrator, even - and from certain passages from Gaius Petronius Arbiter¹s (~27-66 AD) book Satyricon, this exhibition puts forth a mingling of the virtual, the aesthetic, and the sexual.

The exhibition consists of six large computer-robotic assisted paintings which, together, create a sweeping, immersive environment. Also, a specially rubber-bound example of ~venus©-~Ñ~vibrator, even will be on display, as well as a suite of unique digital prints from the code x series, and a dvd animated puppet show. 

Nechvatal¹s stated intentions are to pictorially integrate the occurrence of the loss of subjectivity as experienced in sexual transport and sexual fantasies with the philosophical loss of sovereignty typical of the disembodied finesse encountered when immersed in virtual space. Here - for example with the loss of body consciousness specific to total-immersion within a virtual reality environment - one frequently senses a transport dissolution moving consciousness away from nature, even while developing a slightly ridiculous, Fellini-like, human self-consciousness.

In encounters with virtualizing digitization, representations of carnal pulp used in fleshing-out ec-satyricOn 2000 (primarily female silicon-implanted breasts, Nechvatal¹s testicles, various labia, elbows, knees, and the posterior glutinous maximus of both sexes - some procured on-line, others via digital photographic techniques) are turned diaphanous through various reproductive digital processes and synthetic maneuvers - including viral attacks. The programming used to enact the computer viral attacks was developed by Nechvatal in 1992-3.

Joseph Nechvatal has exhibited his work widely in Europe and the United States, both in private and public venues. He is in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum, the Moderna Musset in Stockholm and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. His web-site, with full CV and collected writings, can be found at: http://www.dom.de/arts/artists/jnech/
