Hi Bob, That's pretty interesting - what do you think it means in respect of them sounding similar? marc Some years ago, as part of a medical project to spot newborn babies that might be deaf, recordings were made of the sound of a womb and played back to the babies on tiny headphones. Those without hearing problems responded to the recording with unmistakable recognition.

[NetBehaviour] New book Special Offer: A Computer in the Art Room.
New book Special Offer: A Computer in the Art Room. A new book on the history of British digital arts is published: A Computer in the Art Room: the origins of British computer arts 1950-80 by Catherine Mason with a Foreword by Professor Clive Richards, Coventry School of Art Design published by JJG: 2008 SPECIAL OFFER LIST: GB?17.50 to include UK Europe Postage to US, Canada Australia - postage + GB?10.00) Order from http://www.catherinemason.co.uk/ and pay with Paypal This book uncovers the little-known history of early British computer arts. An amazing story, it is hard to comprehend that before the onset of personal computers, propriety software and the internet there was a real struggle for access which touched off an explosion of true British pioneering spirit. The art schools which played a crucial role in fostering these important cross-disciplinary digital collaborations are described for the first time here, along with over 140 illustrations, many not seen in print before. Based on four years of research and numerous interviews with practitioners, the book introduces British artists in the post-war period who were inspired by science and began to consider the use of computing. They found the requisite technology and expertise at innovative art schools including the Royal College of Art, the Slade School of Art and regional polytechnics. The battle for acceptance may have been won but the provenance of computer arts and its direct links back to cybernetics in the 1950s and 1960s is a unique and previously unpublished period of art history. These pioneers had a real vision of the arts and sciences coming together for greater understanding and creativity on both sides. With the opening chapters titled White Heat and British Art Postwar the nine chapters conclude with Computer animation and include biographical essays on the likes of Roy Ascott, Richard Hamilton, Edward Ihnatowicz, Darrell Viner, Stephen Willats and other protagonists. This develops into a scholarly source book laced with exciting elements of artistic adventure. About the author: Catherine Mason began researching the history of British computer arts at Birkbeck, University of London with the CACHe Project (Computer Arts, Contexts, Histories, etc.), funded by the UK's Arts Humanities Research Council. In 2006 she produced Bits in Motion, a screening of early British computer animation, at London's National Film Theatre. She has contributed to Futures Past: Twenty Years of Arts Computing published by Intellect, 2007 and White Heat, Cold Logic: British Computer Art 1960-1980, forthcoming MIT Press. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
[NetBehaviour] DJ Spooky sponsors Iraqi Short films screening
DJ Spooky sponsors Iraqi Short films screening Hello people - there's an interesting event some friends of mine have put together to support some short films that have been made in Iraq in the last couple of months and years. It's a pre-election screening of some on-the-ground reminders about what has gone wrong in the last 8 years, not only in the U.S. but in one of the most devastated areas of the world to experience the Bush Administration's foreign policy: Iraq. There will be a mini reception after the screening. Oct 30, 2008 at 7pm ArteEast, Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) and Bidoun Present a Special Pre-Election Screening: IRAQI SHORT FILMS HOW WE FIGHT: CONSCRIPTS, MERCENARIES, TERRORISTS, AND PEACEKEEPERS by Mauro Andrizzi (Argentina, 2008, 94 min DigiBeta) When: October 30, 2008 7:00 PM Where: Cantor Film Center, New York University, 36 East 8th St, New York City Curated by Irina Leimbacher, Kino21 VIEW TRAILER: http://www.arteeast.org/pages/cinemaeast/series/Fall-2008/541/ BUY TICKETS: http://www.arteeast.org/pages/cinemaeast/series/Fall-2008/%3Fsection=extra%26id=2 The first installment in Kino21's series that explores soldiering and war from the point of view of those on the ground, Iraqi Short Films is a compilation of short videos shot in the midst of war by American and British soldiers, Iraqi militia members, and corporate workers. These are not films per se. They are a mix of slices of life recorded on video (many shot while firing on the enemy or being fired upon), pithy propaganda pieces, and soldiers' visions of war as just another music video. They are crudely shot fragments, some rife with raw fear, some gloating over momentary victory. Filmed mainly as records, for friends, family, or fellow fighters, and at one point or another put on the web or on local television, the pieces were culled by Andrizzi over several months. Ranging from the banal to the intense, from the shocking to the darkly humorous, Andrizzi's compilation depicts war as experienced, articulated, and vividly imagined by those actually fighting and dying in it. Post-screening discussion with Anjali Kamat, Producer, Democracy Now! in peace, Paul aka Dj Spooky . Don't forget - check out my new book.

RiP: an open source documentary on Remix Culture and its Copyright implications. In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride. A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP: A remix manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and draw the lines of battle.” more... http://nfb.ca/webextension/rip-a-remix-manifesto/?ec=en20081015 ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

They are sonically similar because they are recording very different phenomena using effectively the same encoding system. As such the perceived similarity is a function of the code, not the phenomena. There is no need to assume that everything in the cosmos is connected in some manner simply because our capacity to represent these things is so limited.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Team records 'music' from stars - Like Aphex Twin music.
I didn't expect the answer so soon!... I think you're right. Yet maybe there's also something else going on. It's hard to define, but we all carry a distant buried memory of our first sonic environment, the womb. What is it? The babies who recognised the recording fell asleep peacefully... (the others didn't)... What were they responding to? Sound? Pulse? Space?...

[NetBehaviour] Wheeling
Wheeling I like this one. Julu's wheel is mysterious and seems to run everything around it. That is the fate of wheels. Wheels, empathy, you drive and the landscape ... wheels, turning the world left and right, you're steering among them. Directions, what you steer among. You never go where you're aiming, you circle about it, about the vector. (Bicycles.) Now it's late in the afternoon, almost evening, light beginning to tremble, everything running smoothly, a beautiful feeling. The most beautiful feeling in the world, turning around you. http://www.alansondheim.org/bigadventure.mp4 ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
