Re: [-empyre-] all call to -empyre- subscribers- see below
--empyre- soft-skinned space--Dear Renate Ferro, Tim Murray, Simon Biggs, and Patrick Lichty Thank you for the invitation to unlurk for a moment. However I would not consider myself a lurker. I have not participated very observably because perhaps a. I did not feel qualified to comment on the matter at hand, or b. I had not the necessary time and leisure to formulate a response a participation in a way I felt would contribute to the discussions, c. since I don't know any of you outside of this list there is some personal motivation and allegiance still to be cultivated . When you are silent online you are blank, that's the way it is, but there are all manner of eddies and ramifications going on, and empyrehas passed through me into my local network conversations where I do not lurk. In high school I wrote poetry, acted, played piano, played with the computer, I thought I would be a computer programmer, but became a filmmaker instead. But it was the age of video, not film, and my work has revolved around the question of the difference, what is the difference between film and video. This has brought me back to computers, to networks, through dance and performance, more music more video more movement, bones, muscle, bristle, gristle. Right now I have several jobs (McLuhan would say 'roles'): artist, curator, performative thinker, director, archivist, tinkerer (hard soft), writer, facilitator, counter-producer, venture communist, et.c. some recent indie projects: http://i-mine.org http://telekommunisten.net/octo/ mimeolography old book (wait for second edition) http://www.amazon.com/Gratitude-Technology-Baruch-Gottlieb/dp/0981997279 related labour theater http://www.mpa-b.org/4/post/2012/05/call-for-100-participants-with-or-without-performance-experience-biographical-chronicle-of-industrial-production-may-27th-exrotaprint-wedding.html I have been remiss at getting back to Johannes about body language a while back... but I haven't forgotten. very best Baruch On Jun 3, 2013, at 5:21 PM, Renate Ferro wrote: --empyre- soft-skinned space-- Thank you Melinda for starting out the month of June on -empyre-.

Re: [-empyre-] all call to -empyre- subscribers- see below
--empyre- soft-skinned space-- another late posting on the call to disclose one's lurking: I discovered the list about a year ago and since then follow often in amazement and thrilled by the amount and content of input. Thank to all the contributes so far for their great exchanges that initiates such interesting discussions - and more basically just for idea of sharing ideas. ** So. in short about my work as artist and writer in the fields of performance and theory; studied video and performance and have an EMMA European Media MA from Merz-Akademie Stuttgart/University of Portsmouth. Currently I am developing an artistic research project around the self-invented notion of '/memacism/' (concept of motion embedded mind agency).

Re: [-empyre-] all call to -empyre- subscribers- see below
--empyre- soft-skinned space--hi -empyreans- it's nice to be back in touch and thanks, Renate, for suggesting we pitch in our bios. Here'a a recent highlights bio, see below. Greatest hits or something. I tried to write a more personal account than I usually do. I'm very glad to hear back via private email if any of you would like more info on my projects. very best regards Christina http://www.christinamcphee.net/about/ Christina McPhee is a media and visual artist whose work is involved in the ‘deep ecology’ of topologic mark-making, abstraction, and illumination. Her work often engages site and territory, integrates scientific data into sonified, time-based and visual images, and reflects on excess and beauty at the edges of architecture and natural science. Christina McPhee was born in Los Angeles in 1954. Her family moved to Nebraska when she was seven and she grew up on the edge of a small prairie town, and taught herself drawing. A voracious reader, she was also influenced by an intense involvement in piano and classical music, and, via minimal contact with the media culture of the period, a childhood of making things. She returned to Los Angeles with a full scholarship at Scripps College, Claremont, then transferred to Kansas City Art Institute to study painting (BFA 1976 valedictorian). She worked at Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard, then studied at Boston University School for the Arts. She was a student of Philip Guston during his last two years of teaching, and graduated with the MFA in painting in 1979. Throughout the eighties she pursued landcape and topologic large scale drawing studies of archeological-architectural studies in the American West. She raised two children in Kansas City, Missouri, taught drawing at the Kansas City Art Institute, and organized exhibitions in the region and mountain west. In the late nineties she started to do remote performance and video projects using nascent desktop editing software, and from 2002 on become a pioneer in new media arts internationally. She moved to California to continue work in media and drawing at remote technological landscapes, involving abstraction and montage around her documentary shots of ecological crisis at energy producing sites. Her projects on seismic memory and on sonification of carbon sink data were among the first media projects to dwell in a discourse between architectural space, performance, science and early modernist abstraction. She curated and moderated the Sydney-based -empyre- list serv for digital medi arts and culture from 2003-2008, and was participating editor on behalf of -empyre- when it was invited to contribute and exhibit at Documenta 12 (Halle), Kassel 2007. She taught for several years in the new media graduate program at UC Santa Cruz; then left academia to concentrate full time on production. She shot and edited a series of short films on deepwater life in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP oil spill, at the invitation of biologists at the University of Louisiana. Her newest projects (2013) involve painting and drawing conceptually driven ‘carbon cycle models.’ She works with layered, linear sequences and formal structures, often interpolating poetic, political, and scientific data within topologic glyphs. She is based in San Francisco and the central coast of California. Solo museum exhibitions include American University Museum, Washington, DC and Bildmuseet, Umea, Sweden, and Freies Museum, Berlin (video retrospective). Recent group exhibitions include Bucharest Biennial 3, Museum of Modern Art Medellin; Headlands Center for the Arts, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (with Center for Visual Music), and Berkeley Art Museum- Pacific Film Archive. Public collections of her work include New Museum of Contemporary Art-Rhizome Artbase; Whitney Museum of American Art-Artport; Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center/Taylor Museum; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Thresholds New Media Collection, Scotland; and the United States Department of State Art in Embassies. She is a MAP Fund for Performance grantee (2012) with Pamela Z for Carbon Song Cycle, a performance work for chamber ensemble, voice, electronics and video (2013), which premiered at Berkeley Art Museum in April 2013.. Other awards and support include Turbulence/NY State Foundation for the Arts with GH Hovagimyan for “Plazaville” (2009) Documenta 12 Magazine Project (travel and participation support) (2007); American Scandinavian Foundation (exhibition support), 2006; Experimental Television Center, New York (production support); HUMLab visiting artist residency, Umea Universitat, Sweden (2005); Lounge|lab residency and exhibtion support, Bauhaus-Universitat, Weimar (2003), and Banff Center for the Arts (residency, Media and Visual Arts, 2000). very best regards Christina
