Hi Randall & allI deliberately eschewed the verbal in favour of the image over
the last days. Although I can do verbal, just don't feel like it. I'm intigued
that seems to put me in a category quite my own, of "the invisible".It's OK
though. I feel a la Groucho Marx and clubs, that I don't particularly want to
belong to any taxonomic category that would accept me as a member...cheersm.

Subject: [NetBehaviour] A Catalogue of Net Behaviours
What an extraordinary chorus of voices we have here on the NetBehaviours List!
As a composer, I am interested in how all the parts harmonize together
polyphonically, rub up against each other contrapuntally, provide a sense of
direction and perspective as the lines & melodies of our utterances
collectively play out.
So here is a first pass at some categorical distinctions to provide us with a
“social taxonomy” of net behaviourism: (I welcome all revisions & additions!)
Enjoy, Randall
The Alarmists@BishopZ >>>>> The Internet of Things will inevitably consolidate
corporate power over our personal liberty.@Alan >>>> The digital, I think, is
unbearably fragile; not only is privacy lost, but we are not prepared, and
can't prepare, for the attacks and corrosion to come.@Patrick >>>> I see a more
profound short-term sense of (pessimism) in the youth in my regions of
interaction.@Dave >>>> The new breed of technologies might make it more obvious
that government is entirely obsolete. @Rob >>>>>>> The Cultural Smog Of The
Internet… a paralysing weight rather than an inspiring force.@Mez >>>>>
Whatever the magnitude/form, online dialogues appear to be flooded with
antagonistic commentary.
The Cynics@Alan >>>>> Do you honestly believe, with all the
hacking/corrosion/cyberwarfare going on, that regulations will make the
slightest bit of difference?@Edward >>>> But don't hope for too much. They guys
with the money hold all the good cards.@Isabel >>>>> It's worth being an artist
for all sorts of reasons, but not particularly for social change. @Simon >>>>
jumping on the digital bandwagon seems pointless.@Karl >>>> there is a word for
actor and audience in the social media realm: prosumer!@Ruth >>>>> From the
perspective of the platform providers, the purpose of the users actions and
interactions is to squirt lucrative data.@James >>>> the lines (of
communication) are already open, we're just sending information back and forth
along them
The Realists@Ruth >>>> Netartizen #tip3 Social media platforms such as Twitter,
Facebook, Tumblr are not public@Johannes >>>>>>>>> "(I) find the idea of
artizen nation objectionable.@Paul >>>> We all think we're creating important
and relevant work but if the future doesn't come up with a way to extract and
preserve it, then it probably didn't mean that much to them.@Marc >>>> What
future artists need to know is that they can make their own contexts beyond the
given structures, shoved down their metaphorical gullets@Edward >>>> I'm not
sure I feel like a citizen of the net.@Isabel >>>> there may be some degree of
privilege involved in the possibility of being/contributing as a
Netartizen/Netartisan.
The Apocalyptic@Kath >>>> if there is some pulse in the future which wipes all
the technology we'll be left with a gap from our digital/online years. let's
hope the libraries survive.@Patrick >>>>> I feel that social media and the rise
of infopower like the Arab Spring and ISIS, big data, stacks and Baynesian
algorithms typify our time. @Alan >>>> Who will be physical when the land is
scorched? And perhaps more to the point, what are we, as NetArtizens
doing/writing/ about it?
The Hopeful @David >>>> Perhaps acting out of ignorance (is) an opportunity to
create something that is truly new.@Rob >>>> Claiming privatised (network)
space for the public that is (supposedly economically) exploited to give it its
value, and doing so under the banner of art, is a political strategy (for those
of us who like political strategies) that has the potential to wrong-foot
affective capital's enclosures.@Rob >>> Let's make a net we want to be citizens
of, for a while.@Helen >>>> I have long hunted for a good word for this - for
audiences that are participating in a really creative way in a work - & i don't
just mean the "interactivity" of pressing a button or something like that. i
mean co-authoring in a way that they can insert their own creativity &
alter/influence the work.@Randall >>> The modern day database, content
management system, and social media offer new ways to fully integrate the
artistic process into a dynamically-shared, distributed network.@Ruth >>>>
NetArtizen #tip1: initiate and participate in equal measure.
The Poets@Bill >>>> would be nice to have MANIC responses@Ruth >>>> NetArtizen
#tip2 There is no one We@Mez >>>>> N.Et.A[l]rtizen #[s]tip[ewe.lation]3:
S[m]o[dalities+fun]c[t]i[ons_]al[ways]media[ate]platform[at]s.@Alan >>>>>
cultural heritage =
0000000067141066147020145071157060440063556066145063040@Dark >>>> 404 FILE NOT
FOUND I am still alive
The Dreamers@Gil >>>>> I find out more about the world we live in from
netbehaviour than from anywhere else.@Randall >>> Let’s conceptualize an
approach to networked systems that can be expressed with any social media
platform we may invent or even dream of.@BishopZ >>>> I had a dream one time of
teams of artists paratrooping into troubled areas - delivering theatrical
re-interpretations of local mythology - explaining in local vernacular the
torment that locals faced.
