Re: [NetBehaviour] Odyssey going down and thank you

2009-03-04 Thread Simon Biggs
I wonder how long SL will last? Linden have spent a pile on it. They need to
recoup that at some point, or go bust. When SL does close down will what
comes after employ similar enough protocols that inventories will be
transferable or at least parseable?

As you observe, this is not a new problem. Like you I have work on 10²
floppies (even on old 1/4² tapes) which are not only unreadable but meant to
be read by machines that ceased to be produced thirty years ago. There might
be a museum somewhere with the kit to read them and display the outputs ­
although highly unlikely as at the time I used fairly customised systems.

I made a decision at the end of the 1980¹s to switch from high-end systems
(at that time Silicon Graphics and systems like that) to consumer level
systems. I did this because as I found myself showing my work in more
diverse places it was becoming more of a challenge to source the necessary
kit. Curators and organisers were, quite reasonably, worried about the hoops
I was making them jump through if they wanted to show my stuff. I think I
made the right decision, even if it did mean that (at the time) some were
critical of my work for going low-tech and clunky. Personally I wasn¹t that
bothered ­ for me it wasn¹t the smoothness of the graphics that mattered but
the structure of the code and how that was manifest in the behaviour of the
systems and the interaction of people with them.

The advent of the internet and, particularly, the web was a really important
development in that it established a set of more or less universal
protocols. This led to huge uptake of computing and related technologies by
both users and producers. It also allowed the distinction between the two
groups to become blurred, as we see in web 2.0, with social media and
user-generated content. This only happened because the protocols were simple
and universal. It is also interesting to note that early works made
employing these protocols still work today, with little if any adjustment.
This is quite amazing for somebody use to seeing their work become
technologically unplayable within 5 years of production due to fundamental
changes in the platforms involved. I have work on the net that I put up 15
years ago. I haven¹t touched it since ­ but it still works on almost every
type of computer, operating system and browser.

Here¹s to universal protocols!

Simon

 Thank you for writing Steve Dietz; I haven't heard back.
 
 I've soured on Odyssey the last few days - the politics, people interfer-
 ing with each other, etc., are depressing. Sugar Seville ran Odyssey
 brilliantly by not running it; with her leaving, structure has become
 reified and contested. On one level this is good - a way of seeing a
 larger picture - but on the other it suddenly emphasizes ideological
 issues that are debilitating, I think I put up a second work on the site
 along with Selavy Oh; Gaz came in and created a prism over the whole
 area which subverts what I was doing, etc. This is fine and in the spirit
 of Odyssey at least at the moment - I'm just not personally interested in
 working this way. As far as a museum goes, that would be good for SL in
 general - once Linden runs out of steam, if SL closes down (and it surely
 will), all these relatively early experiments in virtual culture will be
 gone. We can save inventories, but without the proper software, they'll
 be as useless as the 10 floppy disk I have with pascal programs I wrote
 in 1977...

[NetBehaviour] UK Government Wants To Bypass Data Protection Act.

2009-03-04 Thread marc garrett
UK Government Wants To Bypass Data Protection Act.

Clause 152 of the Coroners and Justice Bill, currently being debated by 
the UK Parliament, would allow any Minister by order to take from 
anywhere any information gathered for one purpose 
(http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmbills/009/09009.100-106.html),
 
and use it for any other purpose. Personal information arbitrarily used 
without consent or even knowledge: the very opposite of 'Data 
Protection.' An 'Information Sharing Order', as defined in Clause 152, 
would permit personal information to be trafficked and abused, not only 
all across government and the public sector — it would also reach into 
the private sector. And it would even allow transfer of information 
across international borders.

NO2ID has launched a Facebook group to challenge this threat to data 
protection.

[NetBehaviour] Radars Fences II - Tactical Bioart in the Age of Biotechnology.

2009-03-04 Thread marc garrett
Radars  Fences II
Tactical Bioart in the Age of Biotechnology

In the age of genetics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics, life is 
increasingly fashioned and configured at the intersection of several 
discourses and practices, such as population genetics, molecular and 
informatic sequences, human enhancement technologies, and the 
therapeutic and agricultural applications of genomics.

Asides from raising crucial epistemological questions, these 
technoscientific practices compete for attention, credibility, and 
funding within the scientific community, the market place, and the 
public domain. But as the far-reaching implications of biotech research 
unravel, the opacity and secrecy surrounding the industry and the 
patenting of life become increasingly problematic. This is partly due to 
the difficult ethical questions raised by the life sciences, but also to 
the rapid extension of scientific knowledge production to a number of 
non-scientific environments.

As Bruno Latour (2001) has pointed out, the tendency of the experimental 
method to transcend its modern boundaries is the result of three 
distinct processes: 1) the end of the scientific laboratory as a 
secluded space available only to specialists; 2) the increasing agency 
of patients and ordinary citizens in formulating the scientific 
questions to be solved; 3) and the extension of the scale of scientific 
experiments to the whole planet, as in the case of global warming, AIDS, 
and so on.

Within this triple displacement, which turns the technoscientific 
experiment into a more and more collective endeavor, a thriving 
community of bioartists, researchers, and hobbyists have provided new 
analytical and activist models by which to intervene and participate in 
the life sciences. Through a broad set of hands-on interventions that 
provide a critique-in-action of both the political economy and the 
naturalization of the biotech industry, bioartists and researchers have 
fostered interspecies contacts, engineered hybrid life forms, and set up 
independent Biolabs. Together, they propose new scientific protocols and 
call for a wider, and far more direct participation among lay, artistic, 
activist, and academic publics.

Radars  Fences II features five researchers and artists who have been 
at the forefront of the battle for the democratization of the life 
sciences over the last decade: Beatriz da Costa, Natalie Jeremijenko, 
Richard Pell, Claire Pentecost, and Paul Vanouse will present their own 
work and discuss with the public models of interdisciplinary engagement 
at the beginning of the biological century.

[NetBehaviour] Open call for Urban Intervention Projects.

2009-03-04 Thread info
Open call for Urban Intervention Projects.

Two deadlines for submitting proposals for two festivals coming: TINAG 
(This is Not a Gateway Festival, http://www.thisisnotagateway.net/) and 
Urban Hacking (http://paraflows.at/).

TINAG festival takes place in Dalston (London, UK) and it's a small 
festival addressing issues related to the city. Deadline for 
submissions: March 16th 2009. Over the course of 3 frenetic days, This 
Is Not A Gateway (TINAG) will bring together people living and working 
in Europe, whose main preoccupation is the city. The festival will take 
place in London on 23, 24 and 25 October 2009.

Urban Hacking, Paraflows takes place in Vienna (Austria). Deadline: 
March 15th 2009. We are interested in projects that investigate the use 
of urban space for performances, the hacking of and intervention with 
urban publics. How can areas of freedom be created, discovered and be 
put to use? How do regulated spaces work as opposed to the unsupervised? 
Whom does the city/street/net and their infrastructure belong to?

What role does technology play in the urban space? How can social 
structures be designed and remodelled? How can a^EUR~urban 
hackinga^EUR^(TM) redefine urban space, make us think about and live in 
it along different lines? To what extend can the redefinition of public 
spaces help to manifest protest against the establishment, 
advertisement, and consumerist societies?

[NetBehaviour] New Images from Blue String Drawing #1212

2009-03-04 Thread Thomas Garman
Blue String Drawing #1212 is a conceptualist installation in the
international mail system.  You can learn more about the project, and see
the map for it, by following the links at www.pythagoreanmetronome.com.

The most recently mailed packages went to

Portland, Oregon,
Achill Island, Ireland,
Gent, Belgium
and Tokyo, Japan.

You can see the map for the project
herehttp://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8hl=enmsa=0msid=100119808025425203136.00045f5616438583bc8adll=9.640316,-90.657903spn=177.090153,360z=1
.
 The images, as they are made available to me from the recipients of the
mailings, can be seen
herehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/pythagoreanmetronome/?saved=1.
 There will be more images from this month's mailings but I wanted to follow
up on the images I have already received with a few remarks.

Both the flickr site and the google maps site are lacking in content and
somewhat uninteresting aside from the intrinsic interest of the images
themselves.  I would very much like suggestions about how to improve those
sites.  The flickr photostream, for example, allows one to put comments and
notes on every image, but I myself have very little time to do so and I am
not sure what sort of supplementary comments would work.  Should I perhaps
develop a whole series of meditations on loss/loneliness based on the idea
of a message in a bottle?  Or perhaps a long meditation on mail art?
 Would writing anything about the pictures add anything to the overall idea?

Also, the packages don't really fit in the places where they are put.  The
packages are oddly alien to their locations.  I take this to be a kind of
metonym or metaphor for the presence of People, i.e. Human Beings, in the
natural world.  We are just sort of stuck into the universe in a weird way
that doesn't exactly fit.

I would be interested to know what others think.

best,

Thomas

[NetBehaviour] Tired of Second Life Tires First

2009-03-04 Thread Alan Sondheim



Tired of Second Life Tires First


After making and monitoring an installation for nine months, artist runs
into murky politics, land-vandal issues, and aesthetic interference. He
counters what SL [Second Life] is all about is what I'm not; you [I] work
day and night on something to have effect canceled by someone else. His
masterwork The Accident [sic] was removed earlier this week, by himself.
During the removal process, he rejoined, not by design I removed far
too much, opening myself to great criticism, luckily countered by the gen-
erosity of others in quickly repairing whatever damage may have accrued.
He then went on to build anew, a work in part based on a momentary access
to another part of the great SL universe. Such was the case that he turned
it over from one parcel [parcel] to another in a matter of moments coupled
with obsessive tuning. I liked what I did, he declaimed, and my friend
Selavy Oh interspersed his work with mine, something we had spoken about
after his work appeared earlier with The Accident creating indeed an
accident that made it difficult to finish final film and video-vertigo
which I had desired for the remnant of documentation opened to me. Thus he
withdrew at that earlier moment in SL time [not real time] and reinstalled
at this later date and thus it stood for all time [not real time] meaning
perhaps a day in quality. At which point double prismatic interferences
first made everyone inaccessible to everyone else and second made the
overt effect of the work ultimately unmalleable and unsupportable. Artist
continued with broken statement about what he co-termed defuge: that
state of decathecting, disgust, exhaustion, and disinvestment after every-
thing goes awry. True to his turning away with disgust, he intoned his
inability to continue making things in a world that simultaneously re-
quired investment and release: doing something and then forgetting about
it or that one has done it or that one need welcome any subsequent change
by others. For the construction of large-scale possibilities, he thought
it far too much to think through when nothing would remain even in an
immediate future but for alterations by others in an already unstable
situation. I have learned my lesson, he finally replied, I am not free
nor will I be nor are you [you] nor anyone else I know. We write our own
programs in the language of the other and my behavior searches for asylum
far from the maddening crowding confusion of protocols, programs, codes,
languages, scripts, textures, and prim-prims. Let me sink into thought,
he cried, let me sink! let me sink!
