Hello James & DIWO people, I have only just joined here but I have looked at the archives and it seems to me that there has been some good works submitted already and those furtherfield softies have handed over a free exhibition to many on here.
It is a challenge to all artists to find a way in getting involved and many people are not used to thinking further than their own presences and territories - you know what I mean, not able to do things other than what they are used to - when I heard about this from one of my friends who saw it mentined on the syndicate list, I was amazed that a Gallery in London is actually doing this sort of thing. I am interested to see if the artists here are really capable of pulling this off and whether as some people say, that most artists are not interested in collaboration or sharing and that they are more interested in themselves. I Would feel very sad if this is the case, for it would prove to me and others who question the status of artists that may be art and artists are not as interesting as some would like to believe. Perhaps it is a myth. So I will take part in this project but I really doubt that furtherfield will get much support from most artists here because I think that most are actually selfish, which is part of human nature unfortunately, and not interested in helping themsleves let alone sharing in building something with others - it is the climate that we live in now. Afterall, artists are only people...

Yo Dogz, Wit tha DIWO project I'd personally hoped and/or expected ta see mizzy exchange of components, sum-m sum-m mizzle toward an open source develizzle model (yawn), shot calla thiznan, on tha whole, settl'n fo` accumulizzle up (of which I'm just as guillty). But say'n thizzis, there's tha problem of different computa platforms in use, Windows, Linux, Mac, maybe even motherfucka (factoid: an amiga visited mah site last week) spittin' that real shit. Anyway whizzay I can provide in this regard is tha blingin' (all open source software based) n shit: *** Images in tha GIMP's native fizzle format so laya is available fo` clockin'. *** GIMP mathmap plugin expression (already posted) fo' real. *** Scalable Vector Graphics (svg) of some visual pieces. *** .med files fo` tha MUSE audio/midi gangsta . Dogg House Records in the motha fuckin house. *** a sound bizzay of instruments created fo` tha software synth ZynAddSUbFX, whiznich grows wit every audio piece I make keep'n it real yo. *** Hydrogen Drum Machine patterns (where applicable). *** Ardour Hard Dizzay Pimp sessions - minus tha actual audio, but rout'n of audio channels, fx, buses, would be intact sho nuff. *** perhaps mp3's of seperate audio channels fizzy Ardour. Pleaze don't T-H-to-tha-izzink tha only reason I'm spendin' this is coz I think mah shiznit is so bootylicious that everyone should use it, it's more `bout tha potential ta see how drug deala thugz would makes different artistic choices given tha same raw materials fo shizzle. Any otha thoughts `bout DIWO interaction so far? James hittin that booty. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
