This is a great opportunity for artists on NetBehaviour to share their own personal archival systems or at the very least, systems of recording their work and ideas. The artistic archive goes back to the beginning of time, as artists have generally kept extensive journals of their work, which often include sketches, scribbles, notes, and dreams. And often the journal makes its way into an exhibition, providing source material and insight into the artistic process. So now, in the age of social media, what are the current extensions of the artist journal? How does online space serve the artist as a repository for documenting thought and invention?

The first time I encountered Alan's website I thought of him as brave. I do not buy many peoples' fantasy of living 'off the grid'. "Off the mac grid?", I would ask them. The alpha betizing is ornament on your site.The beams are in place - your archive is more stable than any I have seen. Natalie Jeremijenko, for instance, does not have an archive which can be catalogued and indexed by Git. At some point there will be a zip of content - a dissemination to the finest online monument builders. I doubt it would happen in second life, there would be a celebration there of course, but the main bit, the part that matters, would happen later. Your words, mixed with others, inseminate an important conversation. Beyond that, your words, as an archive, sherpa generations through trouble-wrought lives. time withstanding, Bishop On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 2:28 PM, Alan Sondheim <[email protected]> wrote: > > > i have similar feelings, but working starker at http://www.alansondheim.org - > placing everything in text files with urls to audio/visual; at the moment i'm > on "tg.txt" having gone through the alphabet several times over. it's an > arcane system which unfortunately makes it difficult and probably useless for > everyone except me; on the other hand, the 20,000 pages of text and references > there are fairly complete. i started this in 1994 with what was called then > net0.txt and it's continued daily ever since. at least grep and other commands > allow me to search themes etc. fairly quickly. but it seems a useless and > quixotic endeavor occupying almost 22 years of my life, as far as anyyone else > is concerned. > > > On Tue, 23 Jun 2015, Randall Packer wrote: > >> Interesting conversation about artistic output into the social media >> sphere. >> >> I am obsessively committed to my blog: >> http://www.randallpacker.com/ >> >> And have been for about 10 years. >> >> Why?
