Hi Simon all,
For the past few years I've been arguing against a materialist
deconstruction of media (as was undertaken by early video artists,
deconstructing mass media, for example) as I've considered our
culture, in a
post convergence era, to have moved to a situation where the focus
Hi all
I want to thank Simon for this little gem inserted into the discussion. I do
not want to digress from the important netopticon discussion - however I do not
want people to miss Simon's comment, and hope that we can return to it at
another time if it is too off-topic now
I would argue
Hi Christina all,
Getting back to some of your other comments...
Advanced robotics will replace most human labor.
This an interesting situation, because if we replace human involvement
and human presences as, in doing and being - distancing 'us humans' from
using tools (individually and
Dear Marc and all,
Thank you for such a thoughtful and dialogic response! I would like to
pick up on a number of threads:
Efficiency: In one scenario, corporations of all kinds seek both to make
their lives predictable and to reduce friction as a cost. (If time =

Hello Christina all,
I was thinking about your question...
But I am wondering whether Foucault can really help us here.
I do appreciate what you mean. Although, Foucault may not 'necessarily'

I am very happy to see a discussion of the netopticon on empyre. Being an
anthropologist, I worry about the everyday effects of surveillance in our
lives. The netopticon has been at the fore of my thoughts in the last
couple of weeks due to its forceful irruption in my own teaching
Hello Johannes all,
First I would like to make clear (even though everyone probably knows
this) that, neoliberlism is now an intrinsic part of the shift and creep
of the panoptican, as well as what (Shoshan) suggests as Netopticon, a
socially networked Panoptic apparatus, as mentioned by
Dear empyreans,
Thank you, Simon for the invitation; I am looking forward to this. Being
one who likes to work inductively, last evening, in anticipation of the
start of January's topic, I paid attention to themes on Google News.
Among all the stories covering the shooting of a US
Hi Empyre,
I want to delve into a mix of art, legality, privatization of public
space and surveillance. As well as explore artwork that critiques the
hegemonies influencing our behaviours through the networked construct,
the neoliberal appropriation, and its ever expansive surveillance
This is the moral quandry, and a very practical one.

Hello All,
Oddly on topic, my husband just sent me a link to this old b/w photo;

It depicts the shooting of the MGM logo lion. Adding our perspective
as viewers of the picture, there are at least three POVs involved. I am
most curious about how the lion
