[NetBehaviour] Interferenze New Arts Festival
Dear friends, I'm curating the lectures/talks' section of next Interferenze New Arts Festival :: Bisaccia (AV) - Italy :: 23 - 25 July 2010 :: ...Art, new technology, roots and culture of the territory. This year, in its fifth edition, Interferenze offers an unusual writing of the natural environment which, through rural landscapes, outlying lands and the inappropriate places catches a glimpse of the ultimate sense of a complex action of a semantic reclaiming of identity and sustainability of territories. Rural 2.0 is a new way of looking at rurality starting from the territory itself, but overcoming it's mere sense by communicating it as a mirror through which it is possible to read our contemporary times even in the aspects related to urban cultures; it allow us to see it as a way of life that opens up to a metropolitan dimension and to its fast changes, giving value not only gives to the impact on the environment but as well on society and culture. In this sense, the rural territory is seen as a (new) medium through which we are able to re-draw and re-read the environment through an open and unique perception of boarder areas, such as cultural, aesthetic and social spaces...

[NetBehaviour] Crowdsourcing the search for aliens.
Crowdsourcing the search for aliens. For years, people have been using s...@home to help search for signs of extraterrestrial life in radio telescope data. But Jill Tarter, director of the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute, wants to take things to the next level. Whereas s...@home basically used people's computers as part of a giant distributed network to run a fixed set of filters written by SETI researchers, Tarter thinks someone out there may have even better search algorithms that could be applied. She's teamed with a startup called Cloudant to make large volumes of raw data from the new Allen telescope available, and free Amazon EC2 processing time to crunch the data. According to Tarter: 's...@home came on the scene a decade ago, and it was brilliant and revolutionary. It put distributed computing on the map with such a sexy application. But in the end, it's been service computing. You could execute the SETI searches that were made available to you, but you couldn't make them any better or change them. We'd like to take the next step and invite all of the smart people in the world who don't work for Berkeley or for the SETI Institute to use the new Allen Telescope. To look for signals that nobody's been able to look for before because we haven't had our own telescope; because we haven't had the computing power.'

[NetBehaviour] S.LOW Projekt
S.LOW Projekt From July 15th to August 20th, 2010. S.LOW is a Berlin-based cross-disciplinary project involving 34 international and national visual artists, music composers working with electronic media, musicologists, performers, engineers, physical scientists and film-makers. The project aims to articulate synergies from such a mixed community of individuals who have been invited to respond to the concept of ‘slow’ and or ‘low ‘, in the context of the city of Berlin. A major focus exists on the exchange of methodologies and knowledge, to address similar creative questions, which will investigate ideas such as; the creative use of s/low technologies versus cutting-edge ones; the degree of speed built into the creative process/thinking, particularly in cross-disciplinary works; high-low cultural streams as experienced by participants coming from academic and non-academic environments; slow/fast environmental impact of art and artists producing art; and finally, it has additional scope for investigation around vocabulary such as; low-cost/ recycled materials/low-budget/open source and related grammar. As the result of collaborations among practitioners and their interaction with the local community, expected outcomes will range from the creation of new works, to residencies, screenings, discussion of methodologies employed, workshops, performances, coffee roundtables, etc., which will take place from July 15th to August 20th, 2010.

EVOL (live performance for computer and gas horns) Since the late nineties, EVOL have been producing what they call “computer music for hooligans”, giving birth to musical forms built upon a collision of structural ideas inspired by fractal geometry, glimpses of quantum theory and rave culture. From glowsticks to air horns, strangely familiar vocalisations and noise, their music displays a radical and playful approach to algorithmic composition. EVOL pieces have been published on record labels such as Entr’acte, Mego, Presto!? and ALKU amongst others. Rara Avis (informal sneak preview) “Rara Avis” is a collective project about birdsong synthesis. The compilation, to be published by ALKU this fall, features contributions from Chris Brown (US), Oswald Berthold (AT), Anders Dahl (SE), Roc Jiménez de Cisneros (ES), Fredrik Olofsson (SE), and Peter Worth (UK). All of them wrote generative audio programs that imitate or recreate bird speech through various synthesis techniques. This is the first public preview of the records’ contents. http://alkualkualkualkualkualkualkualkualkualku.org ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] transmediale, festival for art and digital culture berlin.
transmediale, festival for art and digital culture berlin. www.transmediale.de/en/awards2011 transmediale in collaboration with Mozilla have recently announced the creation of the Open Web Award 2011 a special third platform for creative excellence alongside the transmediale Award 2011 and the Vilém Flusser Theory Award 2011. The Open Web Award is a new platform for radical, creative and innovative art works and projects that: are on the web and about the web use open and free technology incite participation and/or collaboration Proposals may be critical, celebratory or both. Projects should have the potential to demonstrate and/or objectively critique the potential of open web issues, and those employing the creative use of HTML5 and other developing 'open' technologies will be given specific consideration. The point is to play with both the idea and materiality of the (open) web in ways that spark new thinking and practice. The transmediale Award 2011 seeks original, innovative and visionary art works across a wide scope of form, process and practice. Works that embrace, question and enrich our understanding of and relationship to our globally complex, media immersed and technologically diverse society, and are exemplary of a high standard of critical digital practice are encouraged. The Vilém Flusser Theory Award 2011 (VFTA) seeks innovative media theory and exemplary research into digital culture exploring current and pending positions in digital art, media culture and networked society. Echoing media philosopher and cultural nomad Vilém Flusser's unique investigative, cross-disciplinary and analytic approach, the Award is also open to outstanding and significant work which may be produced outside the bounds of traditional academia. Entries may include publications, positions, and projects from a broad range of theoretical, artistic, critical or design-based research that seek to establish and define new forms of exchange, vocabularies and cultural dialogue. For all three Awards, transmediale and its partners (including CTM, the University of Arts / UdK Berlin and Mozilla) strongly encourage entries from artists and researchers, coders and activists operating in countries and regions in which critical digital art and culture are emergent. To submit your work to the Awards competition please register and and complete the online form at www.transmediale.de/en/awards2011 Each Award comes with a total prize of 5000 EURO, with the Open Web Award 2011 winner also given the opportunity to have supported status on Drumbeat drumbeat.org. Jury members of the transmediale 2011 Award and the Open Web Award 2011 are Marisa Olson (New York), Matteo Pasquinelli (Amsterdam), Brandon Labelle (Berlin), Thomas Macho (Berlin), Defne Ayas (Shanghai), as well as a representative from Drumbeat for the Open Web Award 2011. Jury of Vilém Flusser Theory Award 2011 are Marcel Rene Marburger (Cologne), Nils Roeller (Zurich), Carolyn Guertin (Austin) and Alex Galloway (New York) Nominees for the transmediale Award and the Open Web Award will be notified in late September 2010, and in mid October for the Vilém Flusser Theory Award. After nominees have been announced an online open voting process will determine the Open Web Award finalist with the all Award Winners being announced in Berlin at transmediale.11 on Saturday February 5, 2011. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] Fwd: Birdhouse Effect- open call for participation - plz fwd
The Argleton event is an artistic experiment organised by Birdhouse Effect with an open call to anyone willing to participate and modulate it. Argleton is a town in the northwest of U.K. which appeared in Google maps without existing in reality. Have a look for more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argleton This project attempts to locate the city of Argleton in a wider cultural narrative. The project comments on the cognitive conceptions of space understood through maps, the notion of place in a mobile and globalised world and the production of place as a container of experiences. The event will take place through Twitter for three days Tuesday 13th, Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th of July. A part of it will be broadcast in real time between 16.00- 18.00 (GMT) everyday from http://www.birdhouseeffect.com/argleton.htmlhttp://www.birdhouseeffect.com/ Buildings from all around the world will be projected in a real time video synthesis, creating the hybrid space and time of a non-existent town. During the three days of the event the participants will exchange messages through Twitter, sharing experiences and information about this particular town. Feel free to write down your own imaginary experiences, memories and anything you wish to share. All tweets will be reproduced in the project as long as they follow certain easy rules: 1. All tweets should be in English. 2. They should include the word “Argleton”. 3. You can only use present and past tense. 4. At the end of each tweet you need to add #BirdhouseEffect I.e. In Arglerton I used to have the best ice-cream ever!#BirdhouseEffect Buses are always so slow in Argleton.#BirdhouseEffect In case someone wants to take part in the project without creating a twitter account the following account is available: username: abirdhouse password: effect See you all in Argleton!! -- Olga P Massanet -- www.ungravitational.net virtualfirefly.wordpress.com www.vimeo.com/ungravitational ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] Things Can Break - Tech Women Crashing Computers and Preconceptions.
Things Can Break. Tech Women Crashing Computers and Preconceptions. Aileen Derieg Free Space, Free Access, Free Software Sometime around the mid-1990s electronic communication was discovered as a useful tool for activism and organizing among leftist, progressive, alternative groups. The first hurdle was to gain access to this useful tool, but at the same time there was also a strong awareness of a need to maintain control, as concerns were voiced in various discussions about the danger of electronic communication being monitored. For people with academic affiliations, it was possible to get an email address through a university, but that usually meant only being able to read email at the university. With the growing popularity of email, this increasingly meant reading email with the next person in line breathing down one's neck and reading over one's shoulder. Free services like Hotmail initially provided a welcome alternative and independence from university facilities, and Internet cafes started springing up in cities all over the world. However, this still limited access to those who already had some familiarity with email and could afford the fees charged by Internet cafes. ASCII (Amsterdam Subversive Code for Information Interchange) was founded at the end of the nineties in a squatted building in Amsterdam explicitly to meet a growing need for free access and control over the tools: “ASCII is a non-profit internetworkspace running on open source software. We try to show that there's more than just M$ Windows and we try to convince our fellow activists that using software made by the biggest multi-national corporation in the world must be bad. ASCII started in 1999 in a squatted building on the Herengracht. Our main goal in that time was to get all the squatters an email address. Nowadays, using email and the web is so common that we could choose new goals: We provide internet in action camps, host websites for organisations that were not welcome elsewhere and try to facilitate the use of internet by activists. […] We feel the Internet should be accessible to anyone and that censorship sucks. Infringement on free speech, surfers’ privacy and over-commercialization of the net are major problems already. At this rate the net will soon be one huge billboard where multinational companies provide the world with good, clean family fun. Not if we can help it! We hope the subversive elements of the world will continue to infiltrate the net.”[2] The squatter scene in Amsterdam at that time was clearly in need of its own Internet cafe, and ASCII quickly became a popular place to check email, meet like-minded people and generally hang out, and – most importantly – for learning, developing and practicing useful technical skills. more... http://eipcp.net/transversal/0707/derieg/en ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] Total Karenism and Karenist Propaganda Methods.
Total Karenism and Karenist Propaganda Methods. Karenists utilize all of the technical means at their disposal - the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, graffiti, stickers, mail-art, networking, music, Internet, video, DVD, computers, painting, sculpture, poetry, novels, collage, montage, etc. There is no Karenism as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a manifesto here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few apartment festivals and network meetings, writes a few slogans on the walls; that is not enough. Each usable medium has its own particular way of limited use. A video does not play on the same motives, does not produce the same feelings, does not provoke the same reactions as a poster. The very fact that the effectiveness of each medium is limited to one particular area clearly shows the necessity of complementing it with other media. A word spoken on the radio is not the same, does not produce the same effect, does not have the same impact as the identical word spoken in private conversation at an apartment festival or in a public speech before a large crowd at a stadium. To draw the individual into net of Karenism, each technique must be utilized in its own specific way, directed toward producing the effect it can best produce, and fuse with all the other media, each of them reaching the individual in a specific fashion and making her react anew to the same theme - in the same direction, but differently. We are here in this world in the presence of an self organizing reality that already controls the formation of the entire universe. We merely are creating a mythic version of it to facilitate our ability to communicate to each other about it and help to shape our expression of it. Through the myth it creates, Karenism imposes a complete range of intuitive knowledge. Intuitive knowledge - being ambiguous – is susceptible to multi-sided interpretation. This myth – due to the primal nature to which it refers - becomes so powerful that it invades every area of communication, leaving no faculty or motivation unaffected. It stimulates in the individual a feeling of all inclusiveness. Karenism has such motivational force that it engages the whole of the individual, ensuring collective noise in unison but schizophrenic. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Re: [NetBehaviour] Total Karenism and Karenist Propaganda Methods.
*_Reality Mapping: Navigating the Social-Nodes_ * Web 2.0 is based on a collusive tapestry of adjoining social nodes. Social Networks such as MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, Orkut, Liveleak, YouTube, Twitter and Pownce aren't prefaced on pre-set connotative connections maintained through historicized emotional depth or satisfied by biological drives. Friends aren't friends as we have come to know them: there is no establishment of shared geophysical experiences, no cathartic or chronologically defined friendship markers evident. What's important is [inter]action and the quantity of it - the residual volume of contact and the fact of shared connection minus a meatbody context. Identity is constructed in these friendship pathways via the idea of notations; of naming labels, of icon attribution, and of clustered info-snippets streamlined through an interface designed for momentary persona snapshots. *_Distributed Identity Compensation_ * In digitized social networks there is no place for psychologically defined notions of personality as a cohesive, definable whole. Identity manifests through notational distributions found in multiple profiles across various platforms. Ego-mediated variables are replaced with actuated identity markers defined by the ability to establish links to others likewise devoid of any traditional geophysical baggage. For these articulated identities [now known as versionals] connection is the vital point of communication; not the content, not the geophysical inflection, not the biologically-saturated ties linked to survival, competition, and traditional concrete community building. This method of clustered distribution provokes a type of reality lag found in capitalistic and ideologically frameworked nations; those devoted to maintaining established notions of individuals definable by consumerism and Darwinian drives, monetary wealth, institution-adherence, and paranoid-inducing security. *_Versional Space-Walking_* Mobile technologies such as phones and other wireless tech-detritus have likewise altered the nature of individualised space with unwitting listeners in proximity switching to socially-mediated communication channels. Private data is is now dispersed publically, infiltrating individualised mono-access to private spheres and rewriting them as open-ended versional noise. There is no definitive narrative stream or beginning middleend but clusters of incomplete identity snippets. *_Social Infowork: Versionals Don't Do Hollywood_* Contemporary entertainment models are significantly threatened by a versional/distributed identity ethos. The proscribed linearities of passive, individuated entertainment experiences [ie television, cinema and literature] are being currently eroded via clustered peer2peer, gamer-defined, remixed, mashedup copyright left content. Information and work boundaries are collapsing. Pop-cultural lexicons are moving towards a type of modulated system based on versional directed traffic. Hollywood's kneejerk reaction is epitomized in their rush to remake outmoded movie sequels and for tv networks to rehash content dependent on narrative rite-of-passage tropes. The viewer investment in following an unfolding plot and/or seeking a concrete meaning [ie art/entertainment viewed as a purveyor of ritualised morality lessons] has morphed via social networking into a focus on connective experientiality. *_Doubling the Virtual: Decay of Real Reality_ * Notions of a legitimate reality as defined by a grounded geophysical state are altering. Base biological data is being mined and mapped as a potential infostream to harvest and alter [ think: the potential FLOSS utilization of the mapping of the human genome]. Google Earth/Maps/Streetview software exposes geography as an infowork entertainment stream.Versional operation in social networks and avatar use in virtual worlds such as Second Life and MMOGs also contribute to this shift. One such example is a double-virtual layered reality presented in aspects of the MMOG World of Warcraft in the Caverns of Time instance Old Hillsbrad. When entering the instance, each character involved is transported to a parallel reality version of an area of the game they have previously [and probably extensively] encountered. The primary game reality is replaced by a secondary reality, complete with altered gameworld parameters such as substantial differences in topography. The avatars themselves shapeshift in order to reflect the relevant aspect of game lore with each toon displaying now as a human. In these manifestations, ego-stitched/physical reality and identity concepts are bifurcated through multiple projections - there is no real reality concept emphasized. *_Credibility Busting: Citizen Media http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=281 For The Win_* Institutionalised information facets that are currently viewed as factual are not immune to the versional effect.

Karenists utilize all of the technical means at their disposal - the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, graffiti, stickers, mail-art, networking, music, Internet, video, DVD, computers, painting, sculpture, poetry, novels, collage, montage, etc. There is no Karenism as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a manifesto here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few apartment festivals and network meetings, writes a few slogans on the walls; that is not enough. Each usable medium has its own particular way of limited use. A video does not play on the same motives, does not produce the same feelings, does not provoke the same reactions as a poster. The very fact that the effectiveness of each medium is limited to one particular area clearly shows the necessity of complementing it with other media. A word spoken on the radio is not the same, does not produce the same effect, does not have the same impact as the identical word spoken in private conversation at an apartment festival or in a public speech before a large crowd at a stadium. To draw the individual into net of Karenism, each technique must be utilized in its own specific way, directed toward producing the effect it can best produce, and fuse with all the other media, each of them reaching the individual in a specific fashion and making her react anew to the same theme - in the same direction, but differently. We are here in this world in the presence of an self organizing reality that already controls the formation of the entire universe. We merely are creating a mythic version of it to facilitate our ability to communicate to each other about it and help to shape our _expression_ of it. Through the myth it creates, Karenism imposes a complete range of intuitive knowledge. Intuitive knowledge - being ambiguous – is susceptible to multi-sided interpretation. This myth – due to the primal nature to which it refers - becomes so powerful that it invades every area of communication, leaving no faculty or motivation unaffected. It stimulates in the individual a feeling of all inclusiveness. Karenism has such motivational force that it engages the whole of the individual, ensuring collective noise in unison but schizophrenic. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

The process of making make-shift has begun with a two-week residency at Furtherfield.org, London, and in this presentation the artists would like to share some of their research and try out some ideas. You will be asked questions and invited to contribute your expertise, experience and opinions to this process. The artists are working in the spaces between disciplines and genres and are deliberately inviting people from a range fields to get a range of input. Your contribution to this will be very much valued. You must RSVP (to brok...@make-shift.net) as the proximal audience is limited (there will also be the opportunity to participate online if you are not in London or can't get to the event). Everyone who is attending is asked to collect their plastic rubbish over a 24 hour period and bring it to the presentation (please wash anything that had food in it!)

Tuli Kupferberg, Poet, Songwriter, Anarchist, Jew - Dies at 86 Born Norman or in Hebrew, Naphtali on Sept 28, 1923 (one day and 22 years before me), poet, singer-songwriter, revolutionary, publisher, street vendor, historian, mentor, sage, wise man and wise guy, forward-thinking artist, activist, intellectual,pacifist, teacher, dreamer with a desire to contribute his ideas for the construction of a better world, boho and dear friend Tuli Kupferberg,who, though never really considering himself Beat was anthologized as early as 1959 in Fred Mcdarrah's The Beat Scene, died on Monday at N.Y. Downtown Hospital in Manhattan at the age of 86 after a prolonged battle with Life and all its joys and griefs and after suffering two dibilitating strokes. In the 1964 at age 40 he went on to become, in own his words, ?the world?s oldest rock star? after co-founding the Fugs with poet Ed Sanders, and then-member Ken Weaver. They were in my opinion the first poetry/folk-rock band and a definite precursor of punk, bawdy and politically outspoken. Their first lp was produced by the equally legendary Harry Smith on Broadside and later re-issued on ESP along with their other lps. His first solo record, No Deposit, No Return was also issued by ESP. At the height of their career during the psychedelic era the group was signed by the then co-owned Frank Sinatra label Reprise who also signed Hendrix among others. When very he young worked as a medical librarian. Tuli lived 2 blocks from my apt. We first officially met while both of us were hawking our wares on the street though I had known him through the music having first seen the Fugs play way back in the '60s in various venues such as a loft space on Great Jones street, the Provincetown Theatre, The Astor Place Theater, and once even at a free concert in Thompkins Square Park, where, standing behind me to my amazement was none other than Charles Mingus. When Tuli and I first conversed some time in the mid-70's he was hawking these pamphlets which were I think, like $1.29 for one and 99 cents for two, the catch being the more you bought the cheaper the became. Though I could be wrong , memory being what it is Hey Tuli help me out here. He was fluent in yiddish. Had a passion for Yiddish theater which he shared with fellow poet and street vendor Harry Nudel and though he loved being a Yid was an avid supporter of Palestine. Tuli always told me he hated poetry and the scene in general. He was never hierarchical and didn't choose his friends on their status in the art world but on his ability to share with them his knowledge, sharp wit and love. There were the many times we sat together in the park sharing a pint of Haagen Daz or a Good Humor bar. He loved ice cream. Particularly chocolate. Tuli's great songs included Morning, Morning, Kill For Peace and Nothing. On their last cd he wrote the poignantly beautiful Where is My Wandering Jew Tonight never forgetting his roots. Another song in that vein and of mocking protest was Backward Jewish Soldiers a para-song based on Onward Christrian Soldiers. Tuli became something of celebrity when he was mentioned in Allen Ginsberg?s ?Howl? as being the one who ?jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge then walking away unknown and forgotten.? It was actually the Manhattan Bidge but the Brooklyn Bridge seemed more romantic. Actually he didn't walk away but was to Gouveneur Hospital with a minor spinal fracture. He was published in and published such zines as Birth and Yeah and was the first to publish the African - American Beat poet Ted Joans as well as over 50 of his own books. He loved to take standard tunes which were called para-songs and write his own lyrics to them doing this more and more in his later years and while bedridden wrote a series of short pieces he called perverbs punning on well-known aphorisms and posting them on YouTube. He had a long running cable show called Revolting News which in its latter stages was filmed and edited by his long time partner Thelma Blitz. Tuli has spent the past 20 or so years selling his cartoons on the street ( me spending many of them with him or directly across the street selling lps and books) and inspiring many of us to not give up despite the adversities of government, war and . He embraced his Beatnik lifestyle as a friend once told me I should. He never shrank from his commitment to protest injustice. Never gave into the MAN. Never took the straight and narrow path. Always fought corporate interests and a greedy, demonic capitalistic value system. Long time drummer for the Fugs Coby Batty told me this story on the phone the day
