Hi Renee, Humble apologies!... as soon as I pressed the send button I realized I shouldn't have included your name!... in doing so I misrepresented your comments, but accidently... I fully appreciate your comment to Alan was affirmative feedback... and concur with your thoughts on the role of netbehaviour.
Sorry, Bob ----- Original Message ---- From: Renee Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 19 October, 2007 12:28:02 PM Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] no If I may paraphrase the previous comments of Renee, Michael and yourself: "How dare you criticize someone as brilliant and prolific as Alan? You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Come on, prove you're qualified to give an opinion." Bob, this is poor paraphrasing. Look back at my mail, I was giving feedback to Alan...saying that I appreciate his posts and wanted him to go on. I'm watching this piece evolve and am not quite ready to give a judgement on the work one way or another until it fully unfolds. I was affirming to Alan that I support his working process...even, when I might not always get it. I was also suggesting that netbehaviour is a great place to exercise such processes of enquiry poetic or otherwise. No-one, however acclaimed, is above criticism. you're totally right! I couldn't agree more. Having read Alan's numerous offerings recently I offered him honest feedback. I believe he's going down a cul-de-sac. I believe he should give it a rest. He disagrees. That's fine. I took the trouble to tell him. I don't need to defend my action. Feedback is important - vital! - to artists. Mine was deliberately terse and sincere. The artist can take it or leave it. There's no problem :-) Yes, there's no problem at all in giving feedback... and my mail was doing precisely that, but with a different conclusion than yours :-) all the best, Renee www.geuzen.org Bob ----- Original Message ---- From: karen blissett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 19 October, 2007 2:13:51 AM Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] no Hi Bob, >"Total subjectivity" is the unavoidable condition of babies... I find in an >adult, the relentless spew is obnoxious egoism... James Joyce seemed to have >done the subjective voice so much better 90 years ago... I do not normally bother discussing on lists, because what I have unfortunately learned through such endeavours is, that many who explore ideas through the process of argument are more interested in the comfort of proving themselves right, rather than discovering other possibilities. Would you be tempted to expand and share your ideas of what you feel is personally important in a larger context, rather than talking about work that was created 90 years ago and Alan's inability to satisfy your idea of art? There is so much more to explore :-) Karen For ideas on reducing your carbon footprint visit Yahoo!
