Hi Rob

It's a straightforward way of getting into AR development. After this
I want to try to do more sophisticated work, and want to learn java.

I've been posting lots of stuff on Delicious here:

Might be useful

[NetBehaviour] Raspberry Pi Day

2012-02-29 Thread James Morris

After five years of largely obscure development, the Raspberry Pi
Linux computer for schools went on sale this morning, almost
immediately overwhelming the project’s website as the public tried to
buy the first units.

[NetBehaviour] Transmediale and the power of a director

2012-02-29 Thread Tamiko Thiel
Dear Netbehaviorists,

Many thanks for your interest in the incident during the Videomakers 
Unite! panel discussion at the Transmediale 2012.
http://www.transmediale.de/node/20679

Thank you Ruth, for having forwarded my email to the list in the first 
place, and my apologies for taking so long to get back to you all! I was 
asked not to post anything more until we had made multiple efforts in 
private conversations to clear up what had happened, and give Kristoffer 
Gansing a chance to respond. At this point however it is clear that he 
and I have diametrically opposite perceptions of what happened.

It turns out that he does not find augmented reality art offensive, just 
me and my art. I have no problem with that.

I had been asked by Kathy Rae Huffman, an invited panelist and 
internationally renowned curator, to prepare a website and give a live 
demo of my work, as part of the open conversation character of the 
Videomakers Unite! panel, as previously arranged with the moderator.

My perception at this point is that Gansing felt that if he didn't like 
my art and the manner in which I presented it, it was within his right 
as festival director to overrule the moderator and the invited panelist, 
and stop my presentation. At a festival that was explicitly celebrating 
25 years of interventionist and activist art, I found it to be a very 
surprising exercise of power and very ironic in the context of the 
curatorial statement, which said:

Contrary to the fear of the incompatible, so prevalent in the age of 
cloud-computing, the festival raises the question of what happens when 
incompatibility is brought to the fore rather than hidden away in the 
dark underbelly of digital culture?

I have set up a webpage with my perception of what happened, with cue 
times and a link to the audio file (all 2.5 hours of it, thanks to Sonja 
Schachinger!) in case anyone wants to form their own opinion.

Take care, and thanks again for the support - Tamiko

I still find this disturbing = not at all satisfactory in terms of an
adequate explanation.

Has the concept of offense been unpacked by Gansing? Why does he find
this particular AR work [and by proxy, yourself Tamiko] offensive?

Re: [NetBehaviour] Transmediale and the power of a director

2012-02-29 Thread Kath O'Donnell
do you think he might have been actually forcing (performing?) the question
from the theme/curatorial statement? ie stating something is
offensive/incompatible then seeing how people react? extending the
conference/session into the ether/post-discussions to see what happens
next.

KG: Yeah, if I may intervene uh, first maybe we can switch the screen
instead of seeing this really, uh, for me offensive AR art, he he, this is
a re-intervention into the Transmediale, so -

[NetBehaviour] smallest object, last day at Eyebeam

2012-02-29 Thread Alan Sondheim


smallest object, last day at Eyebeam

http://www.alansondheim.org/smallestobj1.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/smallestobj2.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/smallestobj3.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/smallestobj4.jpg
http://www.alansondheim.org/smallestobj5.jpg

this was my last day of my Eyebeam residency; for the occasion, I
made the smallest objects with the 3d-printer, a variety of the
sculptured organism I created earlier. this time, the fundamental
sphere was set at a different angle, resulting in a more problematic
image, one harder to read but easier to slide into one or another
anthrocentric category. it lives as a virus of the uncanny; it
carries signs, inscriptions; it seems untethered. my life is
reflected in it. my last day at Eyebeam was taken up with a very
productive meeting about the identity of the organization. I'd run
out from time to time and check on the machine. when I finally
removed the ground plate, the heated interior was comforting. I
felt at least this thought, these thoughts, were hardened. outside
a cold rain fell. from Eyebeam I took away, the idea of a home, or
a dwelling, an inhabiting, an acceptance, lateral communication
that opened up whole territories; I bought books on sale, listened
as much as I could to everyone, and listened to the building
itself in so many ways - radio and audio spectra, from subaudible
murmurs through VLF atmospheric spikes, power grid noise, up to
around 400 mhz. everything in the building talked to everything;
everything flowed, the residents and staff and fellows flowed.
the smallest object isn't all that small, almost an inch across;
its size was governed by the amount of modeling and support
material left in the machine. I went down to 1% and maybe 3%. I
wanted the forces of the world to gather around the object. I was
unsure about the object. I felt it belong within the imaginary,
would always be imaginary, would carry the tone of a _radical
optimism_ about the structures and formations of the world. now,
in the middle of another sleepless night, I photograph it in
ordinary and ultra-violet light; no secrets are revealed, but the
nub-like, inert and numb, quality of the world is revealed. that
is, to repeat, its structures and formations. perhaps I can sleep
this time, now, perhaps I'll never wake again. temporarily, the
object is a presence. temporarily, I type, repairing errors as I
go along, senseless as I make some sense.
