hi Randall,
I am not necesarrily asking for more, better media, for more
livelyness, I am not sure I want more ...
I would like a content re-de-placement, more of the processes going
on (artistic and organisational) and les about results and "look what
I have done" I would like that there would be more slowness, more
attention, more time for open reflexion on what has been done, less
representation and for now i see that still more in the mailinglist
than on the social media. I think we should reinvent reinvest
mailinglists! Netbehaviour first of all.
see you
Annie

I’m not sure where to set into this thread, which has become
multi-threaded in all sorts of interesting directions.
Regarding Geert: without going into a complete analysis, it’s not
clear to me that he is aware of the many museums in the US and
the around the world that are employing social media and what is
called “user-generated content” in all sorts of compelling ways
that invite engagement and social change. I have taught courses
in the Johns Hopkins University Museum Studies program where the
students are deeply involved with museum-based social and
“visitor engagement,” to use another museum term. I believe the
interview does have a few absolutes that have not been thoroughly
researched, although I have the utmost respect for Geert and his
critique of corporate-based social media: it’s just not fair to
museums that are making striking progress, and of course the many
alternative arts organizations, maker-faires, and hack-a-thons
around the world that are incorporating socially-based forms of
art and science.
Regarding Annie’s concern for place: I agree, we need the means
of interaction that while remote, give us a more real-time,
visual, media-rich form of interaction and engagement. I enjoy
the ease and simplicity of an email list, but there are times you
want to see faces, hear voices, trade gestures, communicate with
sound, all of which is near impossible in this medium as a live
experience. There is no replacing the live: we need to embed the
real-time into our networked interactions, which for many of us
here has been at the heart of our artistic work and research. We
are all nodes on a network, and we need to find ways to engage
forms of live connectivity that are as easy as sending an email.

Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] An interview with Geert Lovink
I have been to a shop to buy some coffee beans and while riding
my bike, I thought : wasn't I a bit nasty to
furtherfield/netbehaviour? When back I found some reactions that
reassured me, but
I had been thinking that somehow I was a bit sour on
furtherfield/netbehaviour and I asked myself why, what would you
like to be different, to change?
A small idea popped up : I miss the connexion between
furtherfield live in the park (where I imagine a lot of the work
is happening) and furtherfield online - especially netbehaviour.
Of course there are the announcements, info on the works showed
of people I know online, but I miss thoughts by these actual
artists who showed, worked with the real place on what is going
on, on how the relation is constructed, of what their work does
when place in a gallery place. I miss personal stories on this on
netbehaviour.

Fascinating read. On gallery and museum embrace of
post-internet art, I think there are two things going on.
First of all, it's new and it's acceptance in galleries and
museums is probably not much greater than internet art's
acceptance was when it was new. Second of all, most of it
takes forms which galleries and museums are familiar with,
i.e. physical objects, prints, videos, etc. This is a far
more attractive fit for commercial art galleries and doesn't
pose any significant archiving issues for museums. At least,
not ones that they haven't encountered before.

Hi Paul, Dave, Annie & all,
Regarding Geert's interview -- I actually agree with most
of what he says. In fact, I tend to agree with most of
his ideas and writings.
I think as a group, we're in tune (usually coincidentally
with his reflections) but, living through them within a
grounded context, which is of our everyday life
experience and as part of surviving as an artist led
group in a neoliberalist dominated culture.
The audience he's talking to is an e-flux audience, and I
think e-flux are part of an neoliberalist, elite
establishment, so it's positive he is discussing these
issues to its audience.
Although, Paul has mentioned already things have been
getting better and there is evidence of things gettign
better. I would say that's true in some ways, but it may
also be true that some of us have got older and into
power and so able to support media art and net art more
these days. And before this was not the case ;-)
Wishing you well.

Well, happy to post polemics, it's a kind of a hobby.
:^}.
I think there has been a tendency for mainstream
curators to approach more recent digitally-mediated
works as if they were in effect a sort of hybrid old
media, while still neglecting both historical and
current "pure" digital media. This has meant that
certain kinds of digital hard copy (modded
photographic prints, collage and drawings, and even
3D printing == "post-digital") can be welcomed while
the internet as a platform is generally ignored. I
don't have any more evidence for this than
observation, and I have felt that the situation for
digital art was improving over the last ten years.
OTOH, I can readily understand the impatience.

I think Geert is probably correct though - seems
to me the art "establishment" aren't interested
in internet/ digital art, though maybe they have
a different view of it from us on here. The art
world remains a mystery to me, so I may well be
wrong. Thank god for Furtherfield, and I would
love to know who are the curators 'not' scared of
it.
What's the ‘post-digital’ bandwagon?

don't be small, don't think sectarism
Geert is closer to "us" than most "others"
get in contact with him, explain and connect,
use his critical energy
invite him to curate, to build, to discuss

Moreover, is he really interested in art?
If yes, as Marc says, where are the

And why is Venice Biennial important?To
whom????

Hi Paul,
Geert needs to be more specific and
highlight the curators who are 'not'
scared and who have been showing
technical artwork such as
Furtherifeld & others - his words are
not grounded and are too absolute,
they do not reflect reality...
marc
http://conversations.e-flux.com/t/geert-lovink-on-social-media-and-the-arts/2581
"The absence at the 2015 Venice
Bienale of digital arts and internet
works says it all. Curators are
afraid to admit they are clueless
and continue their ignorant attitude
towards art that deals with the
digital in a direct matter (while
checking their smart phone).
Everyone jumps on the ‘post-digital’
bandwagon because that’s cute and
safe. [...] Curators and critics are
more than happy to embrace the race,
gender, even the anthroposcene
(whatever that is), but are blind
for the techno-politics of the
equipment and media they are using
themselves so intensely. The
contradictions are becoming absurd.
Video was the last technology they
had to deal with, but then it stopped."
