[NetBehaviour] Like Buses

[rhea via NetBehaviour]

Heya everyone.

Thank you for your kind wishes. I massively appreciate it.

I have more (but different) news! Some of the blockchain work I've made
since 2014 has got more artworld attention over the last few months. 👀

I have work in a show -

https://nagel-draxler.de/exhibition/breadcrumbs/

An Auction (there's a video of me talking about the work on the page) -

https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/natively-digital-a-curated-
nft-sale-2/secret-artwork-content

And a book -

http://www.postmediabooks.it/2021/303surfing/9788874903030.htm

Also @coin_artist has very kindly credited me as an advisor for a piece
that *she* has at auction -

https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/proof-sovereignty-curated-nft-sale-
lady-pheonix/coin-artist-b-1985-18/121279

It's interesting to see what grabs people's imagination. And how much
money I could have made if I had either worked with NFTs from the start
or waited until this year. 😺

- Rhea.

I'd be sorry to lose that as well; I wish I could do something about it. It
seems to me, having just come out of the Electronic Literature Conference,
that new media work is more evident than ever, but perhaps Netbehaviour is
no longer the place for it - but as far as e-lists go, I see nothing
equivalent :-(

Best, Alan, thank you for this --

Alan and Annie,

I think it's partly because people aren't posting their new work, or 
notices about their new work, on here as much as they once did - which 
is partly because a lot of people have moved away from New Media Art and 
gone more into old-fashioned things like "pictures" and "writing", and 
NetBehaviour doesn't necessarily feel like the right vehicle for those. 
I'm spending a lot of time on Instagram these days, which I much prefer 
to Facebook or Twitter, and I see that Michael Szpakowski and Simon 
McLennan are both on there publishing new stuff on a regular basis.


But I think NetBehavour still has this capacity to suddenly go from 
being very quiet to being incredibly voluble and fast-moving if somebody 
happens to raise a subject that really gets people thinking and talking. 
I've never known another online forum quite like it as a vehicle for 
debate, and I'd be very sorry to lose that.

Dear Annie and netbehaviourists

I do feel differently; I've had amazing exchanges with you and 
Johannes Birringer and many others, and I can't imagine these 
occurring on Facebook; the very phenomenology of the stream mitigates 
against that. I don't know what you mean by "old" "intellectuals" 
since a number of people on the lists are also young. The list isn't 
sex, but sex is and sex is a lot faster than a list. It's the idea of 
"old" that bothers me; on Facebook where I post, as I mentioned, I get 
numbers of likes or loves to an image, but texts aren't taken seriously.


Which for me reflects the whole intellectual apparatus of at least the 
US and possibly Europe - the need to be an academic or gallery- or 
magazine- affiliated. I have none of these and at ELO I felt for 
example as a total outsider. And that's a real problem. There are 
constant money issues, access issues, equipment issues, travel issues, 
survival issues, health issues, audience issues, etc. that are 
available if not taken for granted if you work at a university or tech 
company. Those issues dominate. My equipment is seriously poor at this 
point. God knows what happens in the rest of the world, where there 
may be no equipment at all. And these issues are fundamentally class 
issues: the intellectual class, old or not, is defined and siloed by 
its connections and potentials for connections. I wake up sometimes 
thinking critically and artistically I'm dead and why continue at all. 
And if I feel that way, again - God knows what happens in the rest of 
the world.


I don't read everything on mailing lists, but I take the time to at 
least skim. And when I do reply (and I will always reply if I can to 
you, for example), I'll do more than click stupidly on 
like/love/care/angry and other emoji (which I use as well) (and which 
are frankly insulting - someone takes the time to put up something 
that make take hours, weeks - and the reply is a click??


It's the stream stream stream stream stream which is NOT flow but 
inherently violent, sexist, racist, ageist, and anything else that 
excludes. Influencers bet on it: become part of the part or I WAS HERE 
BUT I DISAPPEAR. (maybe misquote from The Harder They Come).


As far as NFT goes, I agree with your remark; again it drains any real 
discussion re: violence, aesthetics, philosophy, sexism, racism, etc. 
.. It's party time; you can't think against the stream; the boat you 
might rock founders on it.


As far as Netbehaviour goes, I do hope discussion and presentation 
both pick up here. And I do NOT think it's an issue of age or 
intellectualism - but a need for ANYONE to have a space to think and 
discuss slowly enough within a space of consideration and 
considerateness...


Best, Alan, and thank you for the reply.

I do miss the old mailing list where people discussed often

Last week I posted a remark on a not to be mentioned social
network " I hate NFT - and am bored by it - no real perspective

giving me anything" and got more than a 100 reactions, by far the

articles I mostly had already read.
And still I can't really make up my mind about it.

Dear Annie and netbehaviourists

I do feel differently; I've had amazing exchanges with you and Johannes
Birringer and many others, and I can't imagine these occurring on Facebook;
the very phenomenology of the stream mitigates against that. I don't know
what you mean by "old" "intellectuals" since a number of people on the
lists are also young. The list isn't sex, but sex is and sex is a lot
faster than a list. It's the idea of "old" that bothers me; on Facebook
where I post, as I mentioned, I get numbers of likes or loves to an image,
but texts aren't taken seriously.

Which for me reflects the whole intellectual apparatus of at least the US
and possibly Europe - the need to be an academic or gallery- or magazine-
affiliated. I have none of these and at ELO I felt for example as a total
outsider. And that's a real problem. There are constant money issues,
access issues, equipment issues, travel issues, survival issues, health
issues, audience issues, etc. that are available if not taken for granted
if you work at a university or tech company. Those issues dominate. My
equipment is seriously poor at this point. God knows what happens in the
rest of the world, where there may be no equipment at all. And these issues
are fundamentally class issues: the intellectual class, old or not, is
defined and siloed by its connections and potentials for connections. I
wake up sometimes thinking critically and artistically I'm dead and why
continue at all. And if I feel that way, again - God knows what happens in
the rest of the world.

I don't read everything on mailing lists, but I take the time to at least
skim. And when I do reply (and I will always reply if I can to you, for
example), I'll do more than click stupidly on like/love/care/angry and
other emoji (which I use as well) (and which are frankly insulting -
someone takes the time to put up something that make take hours, weeks -
and the reply is a click??

It's the stream stream stream stream stream which is NOT flow but
inherently violent, sexist, racist, ageist, and anything else that
excludes. Influencers bet on it: become part of the part or I WAS HERE BUT
I DISAPPEAR. (maybe misquote from The Harder They Come).

As far as NFT goes, I agree with your remark; again it drains any real
discussion re: violence, aesthetics, philosophy, sexism, racism, etc. ..
It's party time; you can't think against the stream; the boat you might
rock founders on it.

As far as Netbehaviour goes, I do hope discussion and presentation both
pick up here. And I do NOT think it's an issue of age or intellectualism -
but a need for ANYONE to have a space to think and discuss slowly enough
within a space of consideration and considerateness...

Best, Alan, and thank you for the reply.

Dear Alan and netbehaviourists

I don't know why people write less in netbehaviour. Some hints: Email is
not the favorite way of communication anymore. Information is t much
everywhere, people tend to prioritise what is usefull. Etc etc. Mostly
"old" "intelectuals" exchanging ... The list isn't sexy ...
I do miss the old mailing list where people discussed often without a fear
to be ridicule, could ask stupid (what is that?) questions and get answers.
But I  admit I also don't always take the time to read all.

Last week I posted a remark on a not to be mentioned social network " I
hate NFT - and am bored by it - no real perspective for change, just assets
- it is consuming my attention without giving me anything" and got more

Then I thought what I would need is not another article, nor a podcast or
talk, but a real conversation about this. A place to exchange about it, a
place where no-one tells me what to read, but carefully answers my stupid
questions, and asks me questions 
not an email exchange, but a conversation  (that maybe could be done
via email exchange ..., maybe...)
Such a thing is lacking! Especially in Covid times.

Bye bye
have a nice end of the day all
