2 pieces: Internet addiction and tenor recorder solo body and soul 1. Internet addiction http://www.alansondheim.org/awkword4.jpg In relation to the current amazing writing and art dealing with internet subjectivity and addiction, I offer an early 'essay' from, I think, 1994-5, dealing with the same. I've been re-reading it and it seems prescient. Check it out at http://www.alansondheim.org/subjectnet.txt In the early net*.txt tests at http://www.alansondheim.org , this material is further developed in a number of pieces; it's still useful and probably some of my best theoretical work to date. 2. annihilation of body and spirit but not harmony and sound http://www.alansondheim.org/awkword2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/tenorrecorder.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/tenor.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/awkword3.jpg i realize my work's no longer relevant, my arms and legs still move, my fingers as well, not too much searching, but no access to tech returns me to the despair of breath; no access to tech returns to breath's despair, that's it, summation in a dreary kingdom. i can only revive the solo of virtual worlds for so long; realized recently that online is my only communality - what goes on here doesn't translate into offline collaboration. my body's falling apart, isn't everyone's. but with some breath i can do a solo and with some typing, bits of useless theory. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
