Hi Ted, I appreciate that nettime should retain a focus on network-dynamics (in culture, politics, media, communication, art, etc.).
However, I must say that I quite enjoy the ‘nettime-take’ on global political events (such as the impeachment enquiry in the US, the climate crisis, or Brexit). I stopped using facebook actively years ago, never used twitter, and use some networks such as linkedin, academia and so on for a professional online presence. So next to browsing around like we all do, nettime is still a good pointer to relevant debates. I do welcome if we can revert a bit more to discussing what the list was originally set up for (net.criticism in the broadest sense). What i miss here most is a critical discussion of how 'the network’ is weaving in the fine textures of the physical world (mobile, wireless, iot, biometrics and so on), which I have written about, organised events, workshops, whatever - most recent around the affect space concept - but it would be good to hear other takes on that and discuss this.To me still seems a blind spot in network theory.. anyway - keep the list going I’d say. bests, Eric > On 25 Sep 2019, at 16:20, tbyfield <[email protected]> wrote: > > Felix and I have been thinking about shutting down nettime-l because (as I'd > put it, he may well differ) the list should preserve its historical > specificity and energy rather than devolve into yet another forum for debates > that are easily available in other venues.
