You are right regarding in not being statisfied with no intervention,  
military or not


But in the end the situation is that moral issues are left to the  
individual and not to the collective


That is one of the main hurdles to be taken as a responsible  
individual, sadly most of western governments and cooperations are  
showing a extreme lack of even the most basic morality and are showing  
a deeply felt disrespect towards its citizens and employees


See the extreme budget cuts in all area's i.e. education,  
unemployment, ecology related (energy spending costs) mountain toppling 
( usa) housing (mortgage scandal), Mexican Gulf disaster, Japan's  
extremely endangering the whole world fed by commercial interests


How is it be possible that governements exorting their powers by the  
people mandate (democracy) justify the extreme exploitation of its own  
electorate?


Remember that Cameron was on tour selling weapons in the ME?

Weapons for peace or for profit?

Me think that these power structures went wrong and are NOT the right  
bodies to take decisions regarding life and death simply because they  
are not mentally equiped for taking this decisions at all


The last twenty years of international politics are showing just one  
thing:
not taking care for the benefits of the people, neglecting the basic  
needs of the people, not acting according a shared common moral  
attitude, ignoring the rights of minorities, brutalizing 'normal'  
people, aggresively promoting self interest and self enrichment.


This so called human live saving operation is an ordinary way of  
protecting the OIL supplies to the western hemisphere


Where is the 'peace' corps in Bahrain or in Yemen, how about the  
normal practise of slavery in Saudi Arabia?


We call the above Neo Liberalism, and it is Evil!

Politics is the Architecture of Death

The days when an artist could rely on ACE for an income are long gone.
1998/99 was the key period, when major restructuring of ACE (at the behest
of the new Labour government) meant that direct funding to artists was
replaced by a focus on funding institutions and regional areas. The closing
off of the tap for direct funding to artists from the National Lottery,
specifically the closure of the Film Councils support for experimental
practice, was the single most negative hit the new media arts sector has
taken over the past decades (along with the closure of the Film and Video
unit of ACE). Since that time it hasn't been possible for an artist to make
a living from ACE supported activities. Artists that had benefitted from
ACE's prior largesse (happily I was amongst them) had to find alternate
means to support their work.

That doesn't make what happened yesterday any more palatable. The cuts made
are amongst the most profound that I can remember and many worthy groups and
companies have suffered. This has happened as the direct result of
government policy. ACE had little choice when its budget was cut by a third
- the big question was whether to cut everyone a little or a few a lot. They
went for the latter option. There are arguments for and against either
option. Understanding why this has happened doesn't dull the pain for those
that have lost out.

You are evaluating this politically, though. ;-)

The important thing about opposing intervention is not the political
effects, it's how it makes us *feel*. From that point of view opposing
intervention is win-win, as we get to feel morally superior either way.

It's the politics of affect, in which we judge politicians not for their
actions but for what we imagine to be in their hearts, and in which we
see the world as a source of opportunities to emote rather than moral
decisions to be faced.

Hi Simon  Antonio,

Yesterday was a significant day. A big shift politically, where the 
ideology of a neo-liberalist agenda successfully disarmed half of the 
media art world in the UK. Some excellent groups who were grass roots, 
doing amazing stuff were attacked. I can't even bring myself to mention 
their names at present, because it feels too raw.

Already in the UK, artist groups have been just about surviving on 
minimal amounts of income. This recent attack has lessened their power

groups receiving revenue in the UK from Arts Council funding, whilst 
actively changing things via their own, critical approaches.

What has happened is, those who are already supported by and part of, an 
established elite have gained even more power. If we thought that things 
were bad before, get ready for next wave of corporatized zombie led 
manouvering, implementations of conservative ideologies flooding the art

[NetBehaviour] Reminder: Workshop: Moving in extended spaces - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

2011-03-31 Thread Hedva Eltanani


A CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

12-13 April
Moving in extended spaces

I’m looking for 3-4 people with interest of working with projections and 
body-space awareness. Preferably I would like to work with people who have 
movement background (dance, physical theatre, Mime and alike)

The workshop is built to explore our perception, sensors and movement in spaces 
that combines projections of another site which has other performers. We will 
explore the tensions between the projection that functions as an object or as 
part of the scenography and as spatial bridge which creates a kind of an 
extension of the room.

The workshop addresses the developing movement in performance to create a link 
or an extension of space using projections and a live streaming of a different 
site with other performers. It aims to find a realization and to deepen an 
understanding of relations among the two spaces and the bodies in each space. 
During the first day we will focus more on learning a common 
body-movement-space3 language Starting from a movement in one space and 
expanding to others. The second day will take the learning further leaving 
space 
for experimentation and bring in the influence, knowledge, inspirations and 
aspirations of the participants.
.
Participants are required to be available for
12th of April, 10:30am-6pm
13th of April, 10am-6.30pm
There is no fee for taking part in the workshop.

Deadline for applications is 7th of April. Please write in short why would you 
like to attend this workshop and how would you like to contribute the 
exploration.

For further information please contact
Hedva
Hedva_joy(at)yahoo (dot) com
07502287312

The workshop will take place at:
Furtherfield
Unit A2 Arena Design Centre
71 Ashfield Road
London N4 1NY
www.furtherfield.org


I’m a performance practitioner who create both online and offline work. I 
explore performance/participants relationships and the way digital technology 
affects these relationships. I graduated MA Advanced Theatre Practice from 
Central School of Speech and Drama. I have presented my research in various 
performance conferences and events like TaPRA 2010 and DRHA 2010, Thursday Club 
in Goldsmith University. I performed in venues like A-Foundation in Liverpool, 
Shunt in London, Poly centre in Falmouth, HTTP studio on London and in site 
specific productions such as “HALL” by 19;29 in the city hall of Harnigay 
borough in London and small performances in The Oubliette Arthouse and Derive 
Lab.

after working on a machine in the factory it seems that people in the

seems to take 5 minutes. i could have made 4 and a half buckets in
that time. speed the fuck up. move goddam you. i don't want to spend

room in silence because its rare for people to speak to each other in

I'm listening to this very cool cd right now. It's not really a cd
as such. It's a jewel case with electronics glued inside. You plug
headphones or speakers into the side of it and flip the on switch
and then sit back and listen. The music is really very good and
considering the limited electronics involved, it's very impressive.

And to top it all off, the cd sleeve contains all of the code used to
program the microchip driving the album. Very nice touch.

Marc;

I think what's happening was inevitable, as wealth and power becomes 
concentrated into a few hands, the population grows, and resources become 
scarce.
So perhaps its time for artists to drop out of the art scene and not feed 
the monster.
 Not a bad thing, as it can mean a rebirth of work over which the Art Market 
has no power.

 Marc;

 I think what's happening was inevitable, as wealth and power becomes
 concentrated into a few hands, the population grows, and resources become
 scarce.
 So perhaps its time for artists to drop out of the art scene and not feed
 the monster.

 Hi Simon  Antonio,

 Yesterday was a significant day. A big shift politically, where the
 ideology of a neo-liberalist agenda successfully disarmed half of the
 media art world in the UK. Some excellent groups who were grass roots,
 doing amazing stuff were attacked. I can't even bring myself to mention
 their names at present, because it feels too raw.

 Already in the UK, artist groups have been just about surviving on
 minimal amounts of income. This recent attack has lessened their power
 to make 'real' change in the world. Currently, my toleration for those
 who say that 'if you are arts council funded you are not radical', as
 they themselves are about as socially engaged as a wet muppet - all
 mouth no trousers. There has been some excellent art collectives and
 groups receiving revenue in the UK from Arts Council funding, whilst
 actively changing things via their own, critical approaches.

 What has happened is, those who are already supported by and part of, an
 established elite have gained even more power. If we thought that things
 were bad before, get ready for next wave of corporatized zombie led
 manouvering, implementations of conservative ideologies flooding the art
 world. Already the established art world was propping up useless and
 culturally vapid artists via protocols, defined from top-down
 initiatives. It was already hard to convince galleries and art magazines
 to allow media context and its practice to be seen in their frameworks,
 now they have yet another excuse to stay in the same state of denial,
 and escape the responsibility of having an awareness of work more
 relevant than their own limited remits, let alone a small glimmer of
 imagination.

 marc.

The stuff about work is based on my experiences at work. I write from memory 
obviously and things are omitted and some get mildly exaggerated and it makes 
me feel a bit better. It tends to always be the bad experiences at work that 
inspire me to write about the work at the plastic factory. Some jobs simply 
grate on me but not all of them nor all the time.

It takes more courage to earn a living as an artist.

Hi James

I was wondering if - just a mental experiment - you just made your  
confessional statements up, like in a kind of performative artsy way,  
and in reality being someone completely else, without your described  
existential way of life and that Manik are in 'reality' a nice and  
communicating persons, who are acting out their performative artsy way  
of exposing their work by overacting it like for instance Laibach et  
al. do

What are our personal feelings worth then? Nothing I think! So the  
only 'right' way to handle these 'exercises' is to accept it as  
'performative communication', which I will do and thereby maintaining  
respect for both myself and others

The picture is something that came up after googling 'slaughtering' as  
I wanted to be sure that the spelling is correct, as a side effect it  
connects the image with the works of Herman Nitsch a 'performance  
artist' from the dark innerrooms of Austria, occupied with the sincere  
attempt to open up the underlying mechanism of the Fascistoid  
personality and as a vector towards the problematic nature of human  
expression

Best

If the USA, Britain, France c had been serious about the emancipation of the 
Libyan people they would have immediately  selectively lifted the arms 
embargo to supply the rebels free of charge or at preferential rates with the 
weaponry needed to finish the job.
The fact that they are prepared to rain down relatively random destruction from 
the air but even now cannot agree on this elementary step ( for despite all 
their democratic talk they are shit scared of the self activity of the Arab 
masses -listen to them on Yemen, for example) shows they, as always, are acting 
only from self interest cloaked in humanitarian rhetoric.

Its hard to stand on either side of the fence on these issues. Again, saying 
that we knew that one thing would prevail over another is easy to state after 
the fact. If nothing had been done, we would be complaining that the world is 
just standing there watching as a madman slaughters his constituents. Now that 
something has been done, we complain that its all for commercial interests. Its 
a no win situation.

Re: [NetBehaviour] I don't know what to think anymore

2011-03-31 Thread Antonio Roberts
In January I was talking with my lecturer about the cuts and the
effect they'd have and he said to me that I'm probably in a better
position than older artists: I don't have anything (still in studies)
so I have nothing to lose, whereas the older generation of artists who
may have their own business and/or practice that is reliant on funding
have everything to lose.

I should state that he wasn't being completely serious with that
remark, though there is some truth to it. The unfortunate side is that
my/the younger generation of artists will grow up in a (art) world
lacking funding and they'll believe that this is just how it is and
I'm sure people/organisations will exploit that.

 Hi Simon  Antonio,

 Yesterday was a significant day. A big shift politically, where the
 ideology of a neo-liberalist agenda successfully disarmed half of the
 media art world in the UK. Some excellent groups who were grass roots,
 doing amazing stuff were attacked. I can't even bring myself to mention
 their names at present, because it feels too raw.

 Already in the UK, artist groups have been just about surviving on
 minimal amounts of income. This recent attack has lessened their power
 to make 'real' change in the world. Currently, my toleration for those
 who say that 'if you are arts council funded you are not radical', as
 they themselves are about as socially engaged as a wet muppet - all
 mouth no trousers. There has been some excellent art collectives and
 groups receiving revenue in the UK from Arts Council funding, whilst
 actively changing things via their own, critical approaches.

 What has happened is, those who are already supported by and part of, an
 established elite have gained even more power. If we thought that things
 were bad before, get ready for next wave of corporatized zombie led
 manouvering, implementations of conservative ideologies flooding the art
 world. Already the established art world was propping up useless and
 culturally vapid artists via protocols, defined from top-down
 initiatives. It was already hard to convince galleries and art magazines
 to allow media context and its practice to be seen in their frameworks,
 now they have yet another excuse to stay in the same state of denial,
 and escape the responsibility of having an awareness of work more
 relevant than their own limited remits, let alone a small glimmer of
 imagination.

 marc.

 wishing you well.


   The days when an artist could rely on ACE for an income are long gone.
   1998/99 was the key period, when major restructuring of ACE (at the
 behest
   of the new Labour government) meant that direct funding to artists was
   replaced by a focus on funding institutions and regional areas. The
 closing
   off of the tap for direct funding to artists from the National Lottery,
   specifically the closure of the Film Councils support for experimental
   practice, was the single most negative hit the new media arts sector has
   taken over the past decades (along with the closure of the Film and Video
   unit of ACE). Since that time it hasn't been possible for an artist
 to make
   a living from ACE supported activities. Artists that had benefitted from
   ACE's prior largesse (happily I was amongst them) had to find alternate
   means to support their work.
  
   That doesn't make what happened yesterday any more palatable. The
 cuts made
   are amongst the most profound that I can remember and many worthy
 groups and
   companies have suffered. This has happened as the direct result of
   government policy. ACE had little choice when its budget was cut by a
 third
   - the big question was whether to cut everyone a little or a few a
 lot. They

   I WAS MILES AWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. I HAVE WITNESSES! 
  THE BARTENDER WILL REMEMEBER ME, BECAUSE I DON'T DRINK.
  THE WAITRESS WILL REMEMBER ME, BECAUSE I DON'T EAT.
  THE WOMAN I WAS WITH WILL REMEMBER ME, BECAUSE I STARED AT HER ALL EVENING 
WITHOUT HAVING ANYTHING TO SAY.
  I REMEMBER THAT OBAMA WAS TALKING ON THE TV, SOMETHING ABOUT ANOTHER WAR. IS 
THAT NINE OR TEN?
   NO ONE PAID ATTENTION, AND SOON SOMEONE TURNED ON A BALLGAME.
  BUT OBAMA WAS THERE TOO, IN SHORTS AND SHOOTING HOOPS!
  THEN EVERYBODY WALKED OUT, INCLUDING THE BARTENDER AND WAITRESS. THAT'S ALL I 
REMEMBER.

  That doesn't answer my question. What do you feel would have been the right 
thing to do?

   It's really not important for any of us to speculate on what should have 
been done, as it changes nothing.
   What's important, it seems to me, is to see clearly, not military strategy 
but who's behind it, and who's to benefit from it.
   Do you think our political leaders care the Libyan People on the same day 
they're cutting aid to the poor of their own country?
   It's about power, and (mostly) men with deep inferiority complexes who 
display their feathers in deadly ways.

   I am extremely opposed to military intervention. But, all of you who have 
added to this thread, please tell me what you think should have been done. How 
should this have been handled?

On Wednesday, government officials revealed to Reuters that President 
Barack Obama has signed a secret order that authorizes covert U.S. 
government support for rebel forces in Libya seeking to oust their 
country's leader, Moammar Khadafy.

According to four government sources familiar with the matter, Obama 
signed the order within the last two or three weeks

As will be pointed out in the future, Libya is a sovereign state that 
the West is intervening in.
