FLUXLIST: Back to the fun.
Greetings all, I now have the two exhibitions hanging that have kept me so busy the last three months. They may be seen at http://touchon.com along with roughly a CD worth of my sound collage works and two books of collage poetry. I would especially be interested to hear any commentary on the show in Fort Worth called Visual Poetry. The exhibition when I first saw everything together really knocked me down. I personally was very happy with the feel of the gallery with these works in it. One of the rooms was almost completely yellow, black and white and it was interesting to 'bathe' in the color emanating from the works as a group. Hopefully I can now spend a bit more time doing some of the other things I love such as sound collages! Can anybody point me to a good and cheap or free program for editing sound and for converting files from wav to mp3? Also hi to Rod Stasick and Herb Levy whom I got to have lunch with this week. Thanks, Cecil
FLUXLIST: *Call to All* Seritypes: A Genetic Screening Project
I'm forwarding a project that my cousin is doing, please read, participate, forward, etc cheers *** BIBIANA PADILLA MALTOS AVTEXTPRESS *Call to All* Seritypes: A Genetic Screening Project Send an email, an attached image, a little DNA: We deny race, gender, borders and the construct of "other," a key mechanism in the dehumanization of the Oppressed and the Oppressor. We affirm the fundamental parity of all individuals. http://www.art.wisc.edu/sgc2006/Pages/demos-seritypes.html explains (and please see below) the 24-hour "procedure" that our team will be conducting in Madison WI, April 8-9 (tentative), 2006, and we'd like you to act as a remote hub (or participant in Madison if you're in the area). If you visit the No Hate Page (http://billfisher.dreamhost.com/nohate.html) and scroll to the bottom, "Re-Present" is a past project that uses a similar strategy and methodology. Along with sending imagery and text via email during the project (10 minutes of your time or as much as 24 hours of participation), we may ask for your spit (swab, cigarette butt, chewed gum, or a licked and sealed envelope), a fingerprint or face image, and for you to collect a similar sample from friends, colleagues, family, and strangers, or encourage their direct participation. Your genetic material will be rendered and mixed with printing inks and we'll go from there in the 24-hour coded and sequenced production of silkscreen prints. Other imagery may be up- and downloaded from a central site by all members of the network throughout the duration of the project. Please contact Bill Fisher at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if this is something you'd like to work on. It would be great to have your participation in this affirmation of shared, borderless identity. More info to follow... Bill Fisher [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://billfisher.dreamhost.com 2006 Southern Graphics Council Conference Proposal April 5-9, 2006 Project Title Seritypes: A Genetic Screening Project Project Authors Jeff Drye, Bill Fisher, Richard Lou, Danielle Wyckoff, the Arts faculty of Georgia College & State University and International Participants Project Proposal "A chromosome's structure may change on rare occasions. A segment may be deleted, inverted, moved to a new location, or duplicated. . .Crossing over and changes in chromosome number or in a chromosome's structure may influence the course of evolution. The changes in genotype (genetic make-up) lead to variations in phenotype (observable traits) among members of a population, so that evolution is possible." Cecie Starr and Ralph Taggart, 1995. A team of printmakers will transform the serigraphy studio at the University of Wisconsin into a genetic research laboratory/operating theatre, complete with lab coats, face masks, rubber gloves, research stations, etc. Conference attendees as well as national and international participants will be solicited to submit DNA samples (through cell scrapings e.g.) which will then be combined with acrylic screen inks for creating works on paper during a 24-hour "procedure." A database of imagery will also be uploaded/downloaded during this period by all participants. In Madison, this imagery and the subsequent screens will be coded (as chemical proteins), treated as raw genetic material and parceled out in discrete, Mendelian units. Combining and printing these different genotypes will lead to variations in phenotypes (the final observable expression of independent inheritance), and through deleting, inverting, moving, and duplicating, change will be affected in this "genetic" expression, allowing for the evolution of the printed image to occur. Others in the participant network will be accessing the shared online genetic (imagery) database to create work at their own hub-location. The work which evolves over this 24-hour period will be a population without borders, authorless and of shared ownership. We hope to illustrate a process in which identity will be defined through our physically shared, inextricable commonality rather than through constructed (and divisive) geopolitical, social, religious, racial, and gender-based ideologies. Our Madison research team will also raffle off Genographic Project kits (https://www5.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/participate.html), another worldwide project with potentially beneficial implications.

I went back to try the home link and then, lost in all of the links, of course I can't control myself, noticed how it will write out the sequence of clicked links on the top of the page.

FLUXLIST: Nam June Paik's films
Magnetic Memory: A Day-Long Video Tribute to Nam June Paik Saturday, February 25, 2006 10 am - 10 pm Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) 535 West 22nd Street, 5th Floor New York, NY 10011 (212) 337-0680 Please join EAI in a celebration of the videotapes of visionary artist Nam June Paik, who died last month at the age of 73. Over the course of twelve hours, EAI will screen more than 40 of Paik's extraordinary video works, which date from 1965 to 2000. EAI will open its archives to present a treasure trove of Paik's videos. Works to be screened include his classic television collages, which feature collaborators such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Allen Ginsberg, Joseph Beuys and Charlotte Moorman. Highlights will include a rare screening of 9/23/69 (1969), Paik's stunning 80-minute opus of electronic synthesis, as well as his earliest video-film experiments. Paik's works in performance, electronic music, sculpture and multi-media installation were groundbreaking and influential. His seminal body of videotapes helped to radically redefine the role of moving image media in contemporary art. Through these remarkable works, Nam June Paik's vision and legacy will continue to resonate throughout contemporary art and culture. For a full listing of the titles and screening times, please click here. ___ Nam June Paik >From his Fluxus-based performances and altered television sets of the early 1960s, to his video works and multi-media installations of recent decades, Paik has made an enormous contribution to the history and development of video as an art form. Exercising radical art-making strategies with irreverent humor, he reconfigures the language, content and technology of television. Merging global communications theories with an antic Pop sensibility, his works explore the juncture of art, media and popular culture. Nam June Paik was born in 1932 in Seoul, Korea. His works have been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, including his first United States retrospective at the Everson Museum, Syracuse, in 1974, and a 1976 retrospective at the Kolnischer Kunstverein, Cologne. In 1982, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York honored him with a comprehensive retrospective, which traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and in 1988 he was the subject of a retrospective at the Hayward Gallery in London. Paik has also had one-man shows at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; and Holly Solomon Gallery, New York, among many others. The Worlds of Nam June Paik, a major retrospective exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, opened in 2000, and traveled to Bilbao, Spain and Seoul, South Korea. In 2006 ground was broken on the Nam June Paik Museum in South Korea. For more information about Nam June Paik, please visit www.eai.org or www.paikstudios.com.
