Images of war keep on coming, the cleansed and proper body. http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar09.png Images of war are always difficult to decipher, in particular when they're digital constructs. I worked here with the elusiveness of the imaginary, with a sense of escape and even obscenity, as these are crude productions. I deliberately used a netbook and tablet with a Second Life browser, so that rendering parameters were kept at the lowest level; the screen renditions are redolent of peripheral or drone vision, close-up but undetailed. It's as if we're watching the war from the machine, instead of the machinery of war - and the machine, mute, has no knowledge, in these cases, of what it sees. I think of Capa's images of war, and the implicit violence of the construction of these respondents as well. The territory is Odyssey in Second Life, the casualties, my own. http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar01.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar02.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar03.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar04.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar06.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar07.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar08.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar0r.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar10.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar11.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar12.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar13.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar14.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar15.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar16.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar17.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar18.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar19.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar20.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar21.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar22.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar23.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar24.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar25.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar26.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar27.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar28.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar29.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar30.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar31.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar32.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar33.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar34.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar35.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar36.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar37.png http://www.alansondheim.org/imagesofwar38.png +++ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
