[NetBehaviour] Digital Care Amsterdam: Performing the (Feminist) Internet, Amsterdam - welcome

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Dear friends and collegues,
First of all, best wishes for 2024!

On Wednesday January 17th at 19h30 you are welcome to attend the event
Digital Care: Performing the (Feminist) Internet

with *Annie Abrahams, Debra Solomon, Janilda Bartolomeu* and *Joana Chicau*.
I will read from my book *Being Human . an anthology* .

Address: LAB1, Arie Biemondstraat 111, 1054 PD Amsterdam
Admission: €7.50 (normal) / €5 (student) / Free with Cineville and We Are
Public. Tickets HERE

Organized by LI-MA and LAB111.
*What does it mean to be human in technological society? And how does a
digital infrastructure affect communication between people? Starting in the
1990s, women artists took their first steps on the then very new worldwide
web to explore, among other things, these questions. They use this
communication platform for online artistic interventions and performances,
make websites, and create online alter-egos (avatars). Two creators from
the 1990s talk about their work and two creators of today show what
relationship they have with the Internet and its digital building blocks:
code.*


*Being Human . an anthology* is now also available online through NAi
Booksellers

and will stay on display in the exhibition REBOOT

at the *New Institute* in Rotterdam until May 12.


*we are rebels escaping capture … are we?*

The *Zoom Ai compagnon* in their recap of *Utterings* last session *Tone
Again* mentions *a series of unclear statements, interjections, and
exclamations*. To read the whole report as a pdf, listen to the mp3 of the
session or read about our preparations visit Tone Again
. Hilarious.
Will Zoom's next step be reports on individual productivity of
participants, employees and customers?

On Dec.15 2023 we enjoyed our *yearly reconnection* –* eyes closed no
talking* – of *Distant Feelings*. Daniel Pinheiro wrote an interesting text
(on velocity and waiting, technology and countermovement) on this event:

*Can we allow ourselves to dream, collectively, of other possibilities?*

(please scroll to the bottom of the linked page for the text)

All the best, love,
Annie Abrahams

Re: [NetBehaviour] Book release Being Human . een bloemlezing . an anthology (Annie Abrahams)

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Dear Johannes,

The book is only concerned with my website Being Human (1996 - 2007) as it
was integrated in the Dutch Digital Canon in 2019.
It is multilingual.
French, English, Dutch and come bribes of German and even arabic mingled
with code. Everything comes from the website.
It's all under the Free Art Licence.
There are Fore Words and an Ad Verb / Bij Woord in English and  Dutch. The
book has been beautifully designed by Alexandre Leray.
Attached a photo by Florine van Rees of it's first presentation in the
Exhibition REBOOT.
https://li-ma.nl/lima/news/reboot-pioneering-digital-art-opens-nieuwe-instituut



So, Johannes, there is no direct link to my telematic performance work.
Even if, in the future I would love to give performative readings of the
book.

Warm greetings.
Annie

[NetBehaviour] Book release Being Human . een bloemlezing . an anthology

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

*Can the essence of a website called Being Human created between 1997 and
2007, be translated into a book in 2023?*

I am very happy and proud to announce the release of my book
*Being Human . een bloemlezing . an anthology*
The book is part of the exhibition *REBOOT
:
Pioneering Digital Art* at the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam.

It contains *44 poems*, a *Fore Words* by Erika Fülöp, an *Ad Verbs* by me.
The graphic design is by Alexandre Leray.

A book as a derivative of something that is gone, which at least, now can
no longer be experienced as in the time when it was made. ... *Being Human*
has always been a linguistic universe, in which different voices,
languages, poems, codes and variables mingle into a labyrinthine whole. And
so it appeared a challenge and logical to me to try to capture *Being Human*
into a book, into a collection of poetry.

"

*A fantastic and fascinating semiotic mess. It is text. Type undefined. We
bounce back and forth between languages that we understand and others we
don't, between ourselves and others, between humans and the space between
them, caught in the interface that connects and separates them and us*." *Erika
Fülöp*.

The book costs *24 euro* and will be *for sale* at NAI Booksellers (NAi
Boekverkopers) in Rotterdam (next to the Nieuwe Insttuut). You can also
order one with me for 24 euro + porto.
ISBN: 978909037631, 160 pages, A5, hardcover.

With thanks to: LI-MA, Amsterdam; the Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam and the
Jaap Harten Fonds, Den Haag.

Verstappen, Edward Ihnatowicz, JODI, Bas van Koolwijk, Lancel/Maat, Jan

Re: [NetBehaviour] Online Performance Practice short course opportunity

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Nice Suzon!
Good luck!
I hope you are fine!

I don't know if I told you already, but our house has been sold. We will
leave here August 15, will be without domicile fixe for two weeks and then
take "possesion" of our house in the Netherlands. Big changes.
Because we are not that far now, we profit from our time left here to go
and visit Portugal for a few weeks. (leaving in a bit more than 1 week)
Although worldwide things are bad - very bad - things for me are ok even
exhilarating, enjoyable so far. Of course moving will be stress but before
...

All the best Suzon
hugs
Annie

Re: [NetBehaviour] reariting of the conversation by Rhea Myers & McKenzie Wark

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Here is a post on our reariting session with Brian Droitcour, Ruth Catlow,
Gretta Louw, Daniel Temkin and Annie Abrahams.
Because I, Annie, felt Myers & Wark‘s conversation contained a lot of
interesting points that I didn’t really understand, I organized a
reariting* of its publication on OUTLAND. I was/am struggling to comprehend
issues around NFT’s, chains and DAO’s, and hoped reariting the conversation
would clear up my mind.
It worked, I *learned *a lot.

Re: [NetBehaviour] reariting of the conversation by Rhea Myers & McKenzie Wark

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Got a private email from Ruth asking me if it would be this Friday,

Yes it would be this* Friday March 4*. (16 h Paris time)
I hope some of you will write me too, because reariting is best when you
are at least 4. (for now there is just Ruth and me)

Reminder: reariting is about thinking and learning, trying to understand,
finding links, soft and blind spots, returning and kneading. It always
starts somewhere in the middle, and somehow never ends.

Best
Annie

[NetBehaviour] reariting of the conversation by Rhea Myers & McKenzie Wark

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Hi, I am sure some of you have seen this conversation by Rhea Myers &
McKenzie Wark in Outland https://outland.art/rhea-myers-mckenzie-wark/
I read it and am intrigued, but some things are very dense or formulated in
a way that doesn't refer to what I know.

Might there be some of you who want to think through this conversation  via
a reariting of it?
*I would like to propose Friday March  at 16h Paris time. Please write me
an email if you want to think with others on this subject.*

Annie

Reariting is the act of simultaneous reading and writing together on the
Internet. Reariting is used as a technique to think through a text
together. While we read the conversation, we will all use the same framapad
to write our reactions and asides related to this text. Thus we explain and
explore our understandings and misunderstandings of the text .


*Thus the Reading Club manifests itself as a facilitator for a diffractive,
distributed intelligence on-the-fly, creating text and relational patterns
that do not depend on canons. It generates creative and unexpected
“outcomes”. These are, in my opinion, not so much the texts produced, as
the “diffractive moments” experienced by the reariters.* Diffractive
Reading in the Reading Club, Annie Abrahams, 2019.
https://elmcip.net/critical-writing/diffractive-reading-reading-club

In the article with Emmanuel Guez: *The machinic author*, published in JCWS
(Journal of Creative Writing Studies) we formulate it a bit differently:
*She assists in an event that allows for diffractive moments (5) – i.e “a
mapping of interference” which take her out of self reflexivity, out of
systemised subjectivity, out of a world that only reproduces what it knows
already into an intra-active diffractive worlding (6). The machnic author
revealed herself as queer.*

[NetBehaviour] Workshop & performance Distant Movements. Register now.

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

 On *24/10 15h* Paris time, *Distant Movements
* will organize a 90 min. long
workshop that will culminate in an online performance at 17h on the Tāctus
ADAF  Greece festival
website
If you are interested in participating, please register now
. There are only 12
places.

*In the workshop, guided in English by all three of of the Distant
Movements members, there will be time to delve into and practice our
aesthetics of trust and attention. Conversations and attunement exercises
will lead to a situation where every participant is meant to feel
comfortable to engage in a bodily connexion at a distance, while being
watched by an audience.*


On *21/10* at *8pm Athens* time Utterings  will
present *in length we find release
*, *a 60 min.
long performance* also in the frame of the Tāctus ADAF
 festival.

*Utterings uses sound and movement triggers to improvise an active
interlaced communicative structure where humans, mediated by machines,
cables and compression algorithms, are involved in and touched by a process
of shared auditory exchange and attention.*

I hope to see some of you there
Best

Re: [NetBehaviour] A campfire in a ruin in a forest

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

What a beautiful text Adam.  Thanks.

The idea of living in the ruins of media art feels akward to me. Media art,
or at least part of the people concerned with it, tried to go beyond the
"art" system where money is the big thing, tried to make something outside
of canons and hierarchical systems. Furtherfield is part of that. Media art
had something revolutionary and I would like to keep that spirit, with or
with out the media and the internet.
Existing in the ruins of art as we knew it.
I wish it could be true.
How?
de-school, re-learn, re-turn, dare again

I would love to have intimate conversations in small groups on subjects
that are important to me, but have no idea how to organise these in a way
that wouldn't be "exclusive". Intimate, means being few, and taking the
time to understand backgrounds, contexts etc. I also wouldn't like these
conversation to be recorded and available to all afterwards. But there
could be a kind of anarchive made by the participants consisting just of
notes and maybe some images. (an anarchive - a potential for continuation)

Two subjects that actually bother, intrigue me are:
- Care and staying with trouble as attitude is excellent, was refreshing,
but isn't it also contra-productive, because it is not directed to "change"

Re: [NetBehaviour] (no subject)

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Honestly this becomes complicated.
I do appreciate what Marc and Ruth did and what they do now. I profited
from it and still do, but I think you also profitted from my presence and
contributions as we all do from Alan's, Patrick's Johannesses, Gretta's,
helen's, Simon's, Rhea's, Antije's just to name a few who posted lately.
I would really regret it if Alan stopped posting, and I don't see why you
should Alan - your posts might not always be read, but are influential when
people do, so please don't.
What did Ruth say around 650 subscribers? That makes me feel akward ... If
that isn't potential
empty potential
dustbin potential,
so, either the lists continues as a campfire place (I feel it's more like a
salon with a fire in winter time, a save place to undo the turmoils
outside) and would best be cleaned of surplus to be left with a cosy
intimate group where we can discuss and fight and "love".
or, this potential could be activated by a "new" direction, as Marc
expresses it. I don't know who or what would have potential to shake up the
lurking, sleeping masses. ???
I can't and I also don't want to. I still believe in conversations as the
driving force for change. So if someone wants to put energy in the
fireplace I am (t)here to try to structure that a bit.
but,
but,
but I suddenly realise this might be a nostalgic attitude, a not accepting
of changes that long has been acted, of routes that bifurcated and the fact
that networks also fall to pieces.
It feels so sad.

and yes we should share costs if netbehaviour is acted as being outside
furtherfield
can furtherfield put their paypal here, so I can donate

Re: [NetBehaviour] email lists -

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

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
than a 100 reactions, by far the most ever I think. I read it all, got
links to a multitude of articles I mostly had already read.
And still I can't really make up my mind about it.
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
Annie

[NetBehaviour] The Unreasonable Ecological Cost of #CryptoArt

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

The website http://cryptoart.wtf pulls in random blockchain-based
CryptoArt from the web, and estimates the ecological impact of each work
in terms of energy consumption (kWh), and greenhouse gases released
(KgCO2) as a result of blockchain-based transactions relating to the work.

[NetBehaviour] 2020 yearly iteration Distant Feelings #8

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Dear netbehavioristes

On* Sunday Dec. 20 18h CET* you are *welcome* to join us in our yearly
online ritual.

Duration 15 min.
*Online. Open to all*.


*Eyes closed. No talking.
*

In a year such as 2020 continuing to activate the yearly reconnection
of *Distant
Feelings*, through zoom, seems natural, pertinent and more than ever* an
act of resilience* to deal with the lack, the disconnection and the
complexity of the *worldlessness** the ‘world’ was precipitated into.
The invitation is open all interested to enter this space, into *a silent,
yet sentient, relational encounter*.

A telematic embrace where nothing seems to happen and where the lack of
action is precisely its potential for fighting alienation. We are
performing absentia within the network, while the network is functioning.
We research togetherness through the Internet as a way to counter its
fallacy which drives the (im)possibility of collective strength. Can we
find novelty in an already established system, and act from within, towards
(an)other purpose(s)?


On the 20th connect to this zoom URL

at
*5:55 pm* *Paris* time
*4:55 pm Porto* time
*11.55 am New York* time
Please use earplugs and have sound and video on.
( https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86808763149?pwd=QjdNNk5ob1J5REdtU2hEMW4wZ29zZz09
)


*Distant Feelings* is a project run by *Annie Abrahams* and *Daniel
Pinheiro*.
More information bram.org/distantF  and
landproject.tumblr.com 

I hope to feel you on the 20th!
and I wish you a nice Christmas despite everything ...
Annie Abrahams and Daniel Pinheiro

 12:43 AM next theoretical installment:

 http://www.alansondheim.org/ohtheory.jpg

 So I immediately came into the back room and decided that I would
 dictate as usual we're not as usual what this piece is going to be
 which was a kind of theoretical demonstration and reply to someone
 who thought what I was usually doing is poetry. I never think of
 my work or almost never think of my work as poetry. Unless it is
 rhymed. It seems to me that it's a way of doing philosophy and
 Theory without having to call on the minions of references that
 appear in ordinary theoretical discourse. I am answering to no
 one. I'm not even answering to myself. I am not questioning anyone
 else or critiquing anyone else. I am critiquing or questioning
 only my help. It is a way of proceeding with an inner dialogue
 that obviously references in my own mind the reading or work that
 I am doing in terms of more traditional Philosophy. For example
 now I have been looking at Saint Anselm has logic. I've been
 looking and thinking a little bit about Whitehead. I've been
 thinking and looking at the talmud. These are just older antique
 references but they form a kind of constellation that I can
 proceed from. I'm also thinking about electrical circuits and the
 way that circuits and their notes add up to in various ways in
 various configurations various numbers of branches. There's always
 an electrical connection. What we do is based on electrical
 connections. From one end of a wire to another there are things
 going on internally that are fairly well understood but the
 information that might be carried by this things might not be that
 well understood. There is also a grounding a cable that is dropped
 from the circuit that can drain it almost immediately. All
 information is lost. This is what's called the fragility of good
 things. It's something that appeared as a phrase in catastrophe
 Theory. Catastrophe theory. In particular a book by Arnold that
 used it as a way of indicating that whatever goes on properly is
 only a minuscule microscopic or less amount of what can
 conceivably go on. Popularly more things can go wrong as I can go
 right. To go right is a knife-edge no matter how right is defined.
 So this was not the topic of what I came back here to think about
 and to write to you about. Back here or means back into another
 room where I have Solace and quietude and the ability to think
 through these dialogues. Which are monologues. Although they may
 not seem as monologues. When I came back here to dictate the

how much it changes every time)

maybe even a workshop series (to share the practice) with wereallbats next

[NetBehaviour] Welcome at Utterings @ We're All Bats Listening Arts Channel, Nov. 20 and 27, and Dec 4,

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

 After our virtual participations to *Audioblast #8* (FR), *Network Music
Festival* (UK) and *STWST48x6 MORE LESS* (AT), Utterings
 will perform during Season II of *We're All
Bats Listening Arts Channel* with a 3-improvisation series: "*New Language*",
"*Above Rationality*" and "*Transmissions*".

[image: utteringsBats.jpg]


Nov. 20 and 27, and Dec 4, 18h30 – 18h55 London time. 19h30 CET.
Nov. 20 “New Language“
Nov. 27 “Above Rationality“
Dec. 04 “Transmissions“
*You are welcome to connect* at the right time to We’re All Bats Listening
Arts Channel  or listen to us on their FB

*Utterings* is an online sound improvisation ensemble with *Annie Abrahams*
(FR), *Constança Carvalho Homem* (PRT), *Curt Cloninger* (US), *Nerina
Cocchi* (BE), *Daniel Pinheiro* (PRT) and *Derek Piotr* (US).
An experience where six artists commit to a 30 min long exchange across
distance, gathering online and blindfolded, and engage in utterings as
communication, building on solo’s, duo’s, chorals and silence, creating an
on the fly “new” language, a collaborative attempt to go beyond the borders
and closures created by languages themselves.

Take care, enjoy
Annie Abrahams

[NetBehaviour] Distant Movements @NODE

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Do you want to join us to examine what it means to «*dance together*» in an
environment where bodies are entangled with machines?

Join us Oct 8 16h CEST for a 20 min long Distant Movements session in the
frame of the *Choreographic Coding Lab Online* meetup organised by *Naoto
Hiéda* for NODE20

.

*8/10 16h – 16h20* Paris time
[image: image]

*Online*.
Find URL
 here
.

You will be guided into movement by *Daniel Pinheiro*, *Muriel Piqué*
and *Annie
Abrahams*.
*We will privilege:*
an inner gaze / body awareness
slowness, in order to favor the perception of the experience
awareness of the presence of others, even if you don’t see them (the
session will be recorded)

*You can’t do anything wrong*

We will start with an activation of the body through “balancing” with the
eyes open – we will close our eyes …

*During the last 10 minutes only qualitative incentives*:
don’t forget to breathe
your toes move too
remember flexibility

*Open to all*.
You are welcome
Annie

ps
*26/09 – 24/10 **Distant Feelings* is presented in APPEARANCE
 Exhibition,
Upstream Gallery. Curated by *Josephine Bosma*.

*09/10-12/12* *The Big Kiss* and *Constallations - the vidéo
*presented in MELTING
POINT ,

Re: [NetBehaviour] my virus babies many do itmany do it my virus babies

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Dear Alan,

Already for a few weeks I think I should tell Alan that he learned me to
write something one might call poetry
you are such a big inspirational source
and
it is very important, because in these
difficult
times trying to capture something of what I feel, and playing with the
words, tones and rhythms, so they can influence my feeling again
is the best way for me to continue
it gives solace

thanks Alan

Re: [NetBehaviour] News From Where We Are

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Thanks Ruth for the news. I am glad furtherfield stays afloat, glad you all
three are doing ok!

I watched the first part "*algofeels*" of the movie *Swaayattate (Autonomy)*
made by Vishal Kumaraswamy (part of https://www.empathyloading.com/) It is
great storytelling - I hope we can also see the end product, the whole
thing.
*In this excerpt, we hear a conversation unfolding between a programmed AI,
dismembered from its physical body as it undergoes repairs, and the
computer technician working on it.*

The short excerpt is very touching as probably will also be the UNINVITED
exhibition (angst and disruption for machines and humans) - wondering how
it is made, to what extent it has been designed, or includes surprises even
for the conceptors ... I hope Marc can do an interview with them!
I also hope you all can go back to work in a steady, quiet, trusting way!

Best
Annie

ps Ruth I love the way you make LARPs related to my protocols - it makes me
happy to think about them that way and I think you are right - both work
with behaviour as its main component

Re: [NetBehaviour] lung lung blossom

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

ah alors je vais venir ce jeudi

j'espère que ça va Pascale
ici, je flippe un peu, depuis quelqu'un me disait que le confinement pour
les vieux va durer certainement beaucoup plus encore (trois mois?) et puis
un autre que les personnes fragiles ne devraient pas sortir avant le vaccin
est là (Un - deux ans, voir plus)
ça me plombe
je réalise à quel point les sorties étaient importants - pas de vernissage,
pas de resto, pas de voyage, pas de visite, pas de famille, pas d'amis
chez moi non plus,

à qui je me plains 
dès que t'as le temps Pascale, expliques moi comment t'as fait, comment tu
fais, pour rester positif

bisous bisous
je vais bien
ça va passer, je trouverai des ressources :) - je vais changer de priorités
probablement :)

Re: [NetBehaviour] How is everyone?

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Hi all,

In France we have been in confinement for about a week. I myself even
longer, because I am at risk.
In Holland they are slacker, which I thought to be "stupid" - there is also
very much attention to and interest in "the economy" that must go on.
France, although also trying to keep "it" up, seems a bit more social. At
least that is what I conclude when reading online journals from both
countries, the tone is different.
I thought the Dutch a bit selfish. But after this week I am not so sure
anymore they didn't take the right option. Dutch people still seem to be
optimistic, just going on, almost happy, while some French friends are
starting to show signs of depression - lack of contact, lack of being able
to use the body, too immersed in the screen, that also gives solace, so
even more immersed ... it is very difficult when you don't have a garden

What seems to be important (part of a solution) is to use online
connexions, not just to talk, but to try to find ways to *do* something
together. Last Saturday I assisted in an improvised poetry reading. It was
energising.

Stay safe all
Annie

[NetBehaviour] Utterings - sound performance at Audioblast#8 + traces biennale de Lyon

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

*Utterings* is a project by* Annie Abrahams* (FR) and *Daniel Pinheiro*
(PRT) with *Constança Carvalho Homem* (PRT), *Curt Cloninger* (US), *Nerina
Cocchi* (BE) and *Derek Piotr* (US) as invited artists and collaborators.
*Utterings* will be broadcast live online and on a radio spatial system
installed at the Intermedia Platform, 4 Boulevard Léon Bureau in Nantes on
Saturday* February 22, 4:30 p.m*. during the *Audioblast #8* festival.
On *22 and 23/02 2020* you can follow the concerts online
.

*Utterings* is a sound-only networked performance experiment where six
artists, while blindfolded, commit to a 30 min long exchange across
distance. They engage in utterings as communication, creating an on the fly
“new” language, that forwards attention, trust and affects above
rationality.
Six sound streams are interlaced and entangled in one single polyphonic
composition. The protocol for this performance will be written collectively
in the week before the performance.
*Utterings* is a collaborative attempt to go beyond the borders and
closures created by languages, opening up and transgressing these in a
performance that probes meaning through pre-language communication and
formerly un-inhabited expressions.
Communication not as transmission of information ruled by a code or
abstract conventions, but connected with affection and attention will
counter data imperialism and rationalist exploitation.

*Audioblast* is a festival de création sonore utilisant le réseau comme
lieu de diffusion, il se compose de nombreuses pratiques audio en réseau,
de musique expérimentale, drone, noise, field recordings, poésie sonore,
électroniques et musiques contemporaines.
You can find the artists bios here

Re: [NetBehaviour] a video for Distant Feelings with voice recording by Marc and Ruth

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

thanks!!!

The video *Distant Feeling(s) [commented]* was made as independent video, a
kind of "essai" on the project.
Daniel Pinheiro and I used all kind of reactions from former participants
to make the remix. We thought it was interesting to put the commentaries in
dialogue with each other, opposing, going against one another, questioning,
bringing into play a whole range of  different aspects of the project.

The normal silent archive of Distance Feelings #6 is also online

and the histories we’d rather forget.

Deadline for applications: *2pm, Thursday 20 June*

We ( Rohanne Udall and Paul Hughes)seek to form a group that is diverse in
relation to age, gender, race, disciplinary and intellectual background,
experience, humour and curiosities. We invite the diligent, the lazy, the
critical, the angry, the reluctant, the suspicious, the powerless, the
confused, the depressed, the gleeful, the guilty. You don’t have to be an
artist, and you don’t have to have a good reason to take part.

Annie
Ps

*June 20, 8:15pm *(UTC+01:00)  *lingagens* an online ReadingClub

session. Duration 20 min.
Lai-TzeFan, Abdulmohsen Alonayq, Sören Pold and Andréa Catrópa will rearite
a text originally written by Erika Fülöp.

[NetBehaviour] Constallations #10 + Methodology

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Please join us if you happen to be in Brussels next Saturday. Would be
lovely to meet some netbehaviourists there.

*"Constallations is devoid of a goal and has no predetermined path.
Constallations is **what we are*
* when we give up our personal objectives and, when, based on our own
history and skills, we tackle a challenge prepared by one of the
group.Constallations is made of travels through things one doesn’t control,
of jumps in the void. Constallations is an exploration full of unexpected
discoveries. *



*Constallations is a learning tool / a practice radically open to
everything. Constallations is a concrete utopia – on a small scale, and
temporary, it must be said – but it is, and so carries a hope for a
different society.It’s a perspective.Constallations is a path, an
adventure, a chemistry, a soup that upsets habits and creates links."*

Text fragment from *The Methodology of Constallations*, that will be
available in English and French on the Constallations website
 after the 25th of June.

One year ago we: the group *3G(enerations)* Alix Desaubliaux, Pascale
Barret and Annie Abrahams, started a research project called Constallations
. Using challenges and surprises, we
defied each other in nine sessions of what Annie called *contemporary net
art*, Pascale a *non-binary inclusive laboratory* and Alix *performative &
collaborative explorations*.

ISELP
,
Institut d’Art Contemporain, invited 3G to come to Brussels for their 10th,
this time real-life, session.
*Saturday, Mai 25, 16h* you are welcome to meet the three artists and
Sandra Bébié-Valérian of OUDEIS  at
the Boulevard de Waterloo in Brussels.
Sandra will give a short talk where she analyses the project in the frame
of OUDEIS’ Autorama  project. Pascale, Alix
and Annie will present their recently written *Methodology of
Constallations** and will try to translate it’s essence to the real space
of the exhibition *Waiting to blossom *Constallations* by Pascale Barret.
Could be an object, a performance, a reading, a text, an installation …. or
a mix of all this.
Wall installation *Constallations* à L’ISELP

*** *The Methodology of Constallations* will be available in English and
French on the Constallations website 
after the 25th.

[NetBehaviour] video, photos, chat log, reactions, protocol - Entanglement Training

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

https://aabrahams.wordpress.com/2018/04/02/building-an-empathy-muscle/

... building an empathy muscle ...

*From the chatlog:*
-Johannes Birringer: Karina, i learnt much from *Corpos Informaticos*, they
used a whole different set of simple tools that i began to appreciate in
many ways
-Daniel Perseguim: yes, Beatriz Medeiros from corpos informáticos are
changing the ways of performing, learning expressing… the tools are the
simple language, *the failures*, the “gambiarras”
-Alan Sondheim: there’s an odd calmness here, as if they’re dream images or
freud’s magic slate at work
-Maria Chatzichristodoulou: yes Alan, i was thinking it’s a calming
experience watching this
-Alan Sondheim: *Calming in the midst of potential revolution*, disturbance
-Jessica Laraine Williams: I almost feel as if we are *neural nets being
trained* with various iterants of standard objects, as a reference library.
The repetitive verbal cues sound like training signals
-Alan Sondheim: there’s an *economics at work*
-Marc Garrett: It’s DIWO in realtime!
-Maria Chatzichristodoulou: it is interesting that Kit Galloway and Sherrie
Rabinowitz were also talking about *experiments rather than performances*
as such, and considered training, rehearsal and performance to be the same

[NetBehaviour] join us Thursday for the online symposium and performance

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

As you know we are preparing for the performance *Online En-semble -
Entanglement Training* that we (*Antye Greie*, *Helen Varley Jamieson*, *Soyung
Lee*, *Huong Ngô*, *Daniel Pinheiro*, *Igor Stromajer* and me) will propose
at the first day of the The Art of the Networked Practice Online Symposium
.

I wrote a post where I introduce the artists and tell something about how I
met them and who they are *Training Entanglement with whom?*


Randall Packer wrote about our preparations in *Disentangling the
Entanglements*
.
And in *A promise of internationalism*

he introduces Maria Chatzichristodoulou's keynote of the same day.

Here is a short video of our Latency Training https://youtu.be/X-mETHIZrU8.

If you want to join, which I hope some of you will do, here is a link where
you can find how to prepare yourself for the event.
https://thirdspacenetwork.com/symposium2018/preparation-for-the-third-space-online-symposium/
It will only take a few minutes.

All the best
Annie Abrahams

Ps Good luck with DAOWO workshop, *What Will It Be Like When We Buy An
Island (on the blockchain)?*

in London.

Re: [NetBehaviour] blockchain & bitcoin stuff

[Annie Abrahams via NetBehaviour]

Thanks Helen,

You express a lot of my feelings and thoughts. Today I read an article by
Regine Debatty "Using respiration to mine crypto-currencies"
http://we-make-money-not-art.com/using-respiration-to-mine-crypto-currencies/
on an art piece by Max Dovey, who succeeds in my opinion to make the very
complex and abstract blockchain into something I can think about. It puts
it on a human scale.

"Turning lung exhalations into mining on the blockchain network not only
hypothesizes that the body might one day play a more direct role in the
financial systems but it also suggests that there might be more sustainable
methods to maintain blockchains."
I think you and some others might be interested.

And so it also connects with Edward Picots apocalyptic videopoem The Great
Project.

I don't want to be quantified.
Annie
