Waiting for the International Aprile Issue publication of DigiMag... DIGIMAG 62 - MARCH 2011 http://www.digicult.it/digimag_eng/ Constellations and Fragments: the sound of Stephan Mathieu http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=2010 The last two works by the german sound artist Stephan Mathieu - A Static Place and Remain- follow instead this latest process. For both of them, Mathieu made use of published compositions of heterogeneous nature: a collection of 78 rpm vinyls of some of the first audio recordings dating back to the 20's and the score of an installation by Janek Schaefer, Extended Play.Mathieu is not new to reprocessing, tecnique used since a long time to create set ups with instruments and analogical devices connected to hardwares working in real time, but in the last few years his passion for the first discographic recordings, the old instruments, the environmental sounds and the obsolete communication devices, has taken him to experiment new solutions also concerning contemporary compositions. - Seaquence: audiovisual online micro-cultures http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=2006 Seaquence is an on-line project developed by Ryan Alexander, Gabriel Dunne and Daniel Massey during an art residency at Gray Area Foundation For The Arts (GAFFTA),San Francisco, a non-profit organization dedicated to building social consciousness through digital culture. It is a platform that, through a biological metaphor, allows the online user to build sequencers visualized as micro-organisms, whose form changes according to the audio processing parameters. Assembled in virtual Petri dish cultures, sequencers are synchronized with each other creating simple but very evocative rhythmic compositions. Seaquence is a work of digital art that offers its users the opportunity to experience a free and fun synthesis and sequencing, learning changes on the audiovidual flow produced by some basic parameters (such as waveforms and duration). - Memory and Media archeology. Interview with Tania Aedo http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=2015 (Ready)Media: Hacia una arqueología de los medios y la invención en México, DVD box recently edited by the Alameda Laboratory Art of Mexico City, revisits the history of artistic practices in the twenties of XX Century in Mexico, on the border between art, science and technologicalexperimentation. The DVD box is an unprecedented work of research and diffusion, carried out by a team of researchers, artists and curators, which throws light on a part of never historicized Modernism. A work that in North America would likely be realized by wealthy departments of some rich Ivy League's Universities, with a comparative approach towards the study on Modernism, but in this case it has been carried out in a militant (and scientific at the same time), laboratorial way, by a group of actors playing personally in the context. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

And why? We can certainly identify legal tools, their community of users, and their artistic products by the same name. But they are all there to support the objective of free-as-in-free-speech (or -expression) culture. It's useful to be able to tell them apart so that when people start talking about inhuman concepts like commons, gifts, reputations and anything else that looks like people's freedom of speech should be curtailed to support Free Culture, we can explain why this is counter-productive. What is produced (free cultural works differentiates them better than free culture, although it's an unappealing phrase) has an interesting art theoretical status. It's art that we are identifying because of a non-aesthetic property, but that non-aesthetic property is one that enables aesthetics: http://robmyers.org/weblog/2007/06/21/why-should-the-licence-of-an-artwork-be-interesting/ Looks like you're reading my mind, as my question was driven by a broader interest in the way art and politics are being mixed up, and of course remixed, for the best and the worst in copyleft art. I'm starting a PhD at Goldsmiths that is quite focussed on this issue and my approach is to see the license as if it was an art manifesto. I am doing so in order to reverse engineer the artistic intention behind copyleft art and see why, how and under which circumstances it can or cannot work. I hope to be able to share some early texts about that in a few months. I made the licence an aesthetic property of the work with CC Ironies - http://robmyers.org/art/cc_ironies/index.html This is a hidden gem, love it.

I am doing so in order to reverse engineer the artistic intention behind copyleft art and see why, how and under which circumstances it can or cannot work. well it sounds like you *need* to get in touch with REFF, our fake cultural institution! :) (for those of you who still don't know: http://www.romaeuropa.org ) arts and politics have and always will be mixed up. Unless you think that the iconographies found in paintings of all times are not about power, authority, taxes, court struggles etcetera now it is the time of knowledge and information and, thus, the struggle is on kowledge and information. and let's add to that a generalized fear for the future of the planet. Hence: art will deal with these issues. for example we decided to directly confront these issues, trying to learn from surrealism, dada, netart and the whole of postmodernity. A performative action in which poetics and politics mix and mash seemed (and still seems) like a wonderful choice. and: after interaction came into art, art changed. As, tendencially, art-after-interaction sees the possibility that the artwork be not a tool for personal expression of the artist, but an environment/tool/strategy/methodology in which many people can express themselves. And this is a political act (and cultural, and activist, and, of course, aesthetic and poetic). It is about enabling or activating: imaginaries as well as actions. this is why, for example (but there are loads of them, luckily, around the net and the art world), we decided to make an institution as an artwork. A liberating fake (fake as a tool to create new reals) institution that does just this: create a brand, open source it, and use it to activate and enact processes. It is emblematic how everything starts from a struggle on intellectual property, it goes on by addressing the idea of remixing the world to reinvent reality, and ends up (and continues) by creating an institution whose main job is to create a youth program on the issues of the methodological reinvention of reality through the practices of fake, remix, mash-up, re-enactment, recontextualization and to promote an augmented reality drug which is actually a free software platform that anyone can use to enact their own processes of fake and remix/reinvention of the world. :) ciao! xDxD ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

In my opinion the important thing about copyleft as a practical political measure, that both its left and right wing critics tend to fail to engage with productively, is that it is reflexive. It applies only to the work that it applies to, and the people who create and use that work have the freedom to work with it as the users of that work. That is, as hackers, or as artists, or as some other identity other than as robust individuals or proletarians. As politics it is the politics of being free from the politics that prevent you being free as a hacker or as an artist. This means that copyleft is more like a medium than a political agenda: it enables the creation of certain kinds of art rather than demanding particular subject matter or content. It is, in various interesting ways, form. I'm starting a PhD at Goldsmiths that is quite focussed on this issue and my approach is to see the license as if it was an art manifesto. I am doing so in order to reverse engineer the artistic intention behind copyleft art and see why, how and under which circumstances it can or cannot work. How it cannot work is an interesting area. In art, we are all collaborating anyway as individuals, so we don't necessarily need to wikify (to borrow Evan Podromou's term) art in order to promote free culture. On the other hand, the opportunities of collaboration are great if good models can be found. This means the Linux Kernel model rather than the Early Wikipedia model, which tends to lead to chaos. I hope to be able to share some early texts about that in a few months. I look forward to seeing that! - Rob. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Although I disagree with this *ideologically*, with my art critic's hat on I do see how this is part of the complex way that this stack of ideas is used aesthetically and politically in your work. I think my favourite example of this is using Augmented reality both as a point-your-camera-at-the-marker superimposition of the virtual onto the real using technology, and as -er- a superimposition of the virtual onto the real using fake brands and coloured liquids.
