[NetBehaviour] end of the tether
end of the tether from one moment to another, the world is utterly irredeemable. recuperation is always already impossible. entanglement, indra's nets, irreversible: _just think about it._ http://www.alansondheim.org/ ripple pngs http://www.alansondheim.org/generator.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/ gener pngs i'm entangled between real which is virtual and virtual which is real. i'm exhausted by inscription; i make mistakes. i make far too many mistakes; i should be exiled from the virtual. i should be abandoned to your fate. now what is there about this. what there is, i postulate that there are regions of the cosmos _for all practical purposes_ that are deeply disassociated from each other, regions that, _for all practical purposes,_ are light-cone inaccessible. and are inaccessible for the unutterable, unutterable information. defuge sets in, _seeps in._ defuge entangles, transformed into substance. in this regard i am a total failure - exhaustion leading to errors precisely as inscription stains. i follow the trails of easy paths, ignoring the real hovering, within the virtual, the virtual within the real. you destroy myself. await the tawdry. the sleazy, decrepit, o misery. how can live with oneself, mind withdraws, vision blurs, range and ring of the ears. oh, so tangled, nothing resolves, you go to my death unresolved, you forage among memory already fallen through, memory overcome. for there is nothing but the unutterable moment, one moment to another, each entangled, each absolutely disparate, on the verge of collapse. very much changed at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/48/12/22 ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] XorGramana-0.0.8
Wednesday April 1st 2009 XorGramana is a game by jwm-art.net based upon Xor (an 8bit game circa 1990). XorGramana is a logic puzzle kind-of-word game set inside a series of mazes. It is a source-code only release, (GNU GPLv3 licensed) and should run on GNU/Linux systems with gcc, make, and the SDL development libraries installed. XorGramana-0.0.8 What's new? * two new levels: 'home economics' and 'trips n tracks'. * several new floor, wall, and edge textures and new combinations of these. * map display is working both for XOR and XorGramana - shows where word solutions should be placed. * GNU GPLv3 now included, with copyright notices atop each source file. * numerous fixes, including: * fixed main level menu (again). * escape key no longer infuriatingly answers 'no' to replay prompt when you least wanted it to. * replay error in XorGramana caused by masks. (for more details see CHANGES file).

sure... thanks for asking... marc garrett wrote: Hi Micha, Good to hear from you a warm welcome for joining... a submission from a femme transgirl is a quality addition :-) Do you want us to add your first comments/intro as well? marc I was so excited to see this, as I'm always filling in my students about ada lovelace, who seems to get left out somehow of our introduction to computing and the arts class, often, or only brielfy mentioned... So I signed up for the list. But I'm not a woman, I'm transgender. I don't identify as a man or a woman, but I guess you could say I'm mtf, in permanent transition.

Allucquere Rosanne (Sandy) Stone - http://sandystone.com - another philosopher of technology, another amazing woman who i met at EGS who was so supportive of me throughout my 15 immersive performance of Becoming Dragon, being more than generous, providing guidance, wisdom and grounding, and for thinking through the questions of online worlds and gender so long before i even started considering them, and for so generously providing me with personal advice about transitioning that was so valuable to me. adriene jenik - http://adrienejenik.net - networked performance artist, creator of distributed social cinema - adriene is one of the main reasons i am even in grad school and decided to dedicate myself to being an artist and has also been so, so generous and giving throughout my years working with and knowing her. her warmth along with her deep, deep knowledge of new media art has guided me so much. she has been one of the main people in my life to really educate me about feminism. orlan - http://orlan.net/ - for not being afraid to find the limits of merging the body and technology, orlan is the artist who has inspired me most. i think her work is a shining example and challenge to artists' commitment everywhere. donna haraway - another massive inspiration for how i think about politics and technology and the body who's thinking on interspecies and transspecies relationships helped me develop my own ideas in my work. beatriz da costa - bioartist, interspcies collaborator - http://www.beatrizdacosta.net/ - for making so much inspiring bioart, for the brilliant, brilliant term Tactical Biopolitics, for her guidance in one short studio visit about Becoming Dragon which helped me reframe my approach to the whole project, and which has turned out to me a great suggestion. elle mehrmand - http://visarts.ucsd.edu/something-happening/?author=18 | http://myspace.com/assemblyofmazes (that's her band, but she's working on a website soon) -my closest and dearest friend right now, a brilliant new media performance artist and beautiful, strong, brave ally. subrosa - http://cyberfeminism.net/ - for their brilliant linking of witchhunts, queer and gender variant persecution and feminine knowledge production in Yes Species. probably not surprising, but its my personal list... -- micha cárdenas performance / social media / public culture C(a)lit2 Researcher, http://bang.calit2.net CRCA Researcher, http://crca.ucsd.edu MFA Candidate, UCSD, http://visarts.ucsd.edu MA, EGS, http://egs.edu blog: http://bang.calit2.net/tt ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
Re: [NetBehaviour] The Pirate Bay to roll out secure EUR5 per month VPN service.
Hi, I'm neo-new to this list. Been here before, but left and am now back. As I'm Swedish and have been able to follow the Pirate Bay trial, I'd like to fill in here. In fact, I'm very disappointed. Not about the trial, but about Pirate Bay. As it turns out, the guy who has supported Pirate Bay financially, is a millionaire and a (former) member of the organization Keep Sweden Swedish, a neo-Nazi organization here. The others have had no income for years, have high tax debts and are in general of the opinion that you don't have to contribute to society. Hard to believe that they've had no income with lots of advertising and loads of visitors. They're, in my view, nothing but neo-liberal profit-seeking egos. Nothing else. No activism as far as I can see. It makes me wonder about file-sharing and activism. Does it go without saying that a site like Pirate Bay is 'good'? In any case, nothing is black and white. http://freewheelin.nu Yvonne 2009/3/28 marc garrett marc.garr...@furtherfield.org The Pirate Bay to roll out secure EUR5 per month VPN service. Those behind The Pirate Bay have introduced IPREDator, a VPN service aimed at keeping users anonymous and safe from being tracked by law enforcement. The service is slated for launch at the same time as the Swedish Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED), which will make it easier for content owners to directly target suspected copyright infringers with lawsuits. By Jacqui Cheng. The Pirate Bay is planning to launch a paid VPN service for users looking to cover their tracks when torrenting. The new service will be called IPREDator, named after the Swedish Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) that will go into effect in April. IPREDator is currently in private beta and is expected to go public next week for EUR5 per month. IPREDator is clearly a response to the introduction of IPRED in Sweden, which will allow law enforcement and copyright holders to request the personal details of suspected infringers. The copyright holders will then be able to make direct contact with the accused users and presumably threaten them with lawsuits. If users connect to The Pirate Bay through something like Tor or VPN, however, they're less likely to be tracked. IPREDator's website says that it won't store any traffic data, as its entire goal is to help people stay anonymous on the web. Without any data to hand over, copyright owners won't be able to find individuals to target. This, of course, is likely to irk law enforcement even further, as it has been on The Pirate Bay's case for years. Some three years after Swedish police raided the site and confiscated its servers, a few of The Pirate Bay admins finally went on trial for copyright infringement earlier this year. The world is still awaiting the verdict (expected to arrive on April 17), though those behind The Pirate Bay maintain that what they're doing is entirely legal. In fact, Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi said during the trial that 80 percent of The Pirate Bay's torrents are for content that's legal to share online. more... http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2009/03/the-pirate-bay-to-roll-out-secure-vpn-service.ars ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day
hmmm, haven't had the time to think about this issue in the last two weeks to the depth it deserves, and it quickly turns into a happy wander through the depths of memory. and so this is a totally incomplete list... and it's not about just 'media' artists anyway, it's about women working in arts and culture who have influenced my worldview through the crossing of paths ... In no particular order, I would mention Lucy Lippard, a big influence at CU-Boulder where she was stationed when I was doing my MFA; Janice Tanaka, a video teacher I had at the same time; Kathy Kennedy, the owner of Photoworks, the top custom BW lab in NYC, she turned me into a master printer; all my women students at the Icelandic Academy who taught me much about gender equality and fearless creative expression, especially Sara Bjornsdottir and Solveig Sveinsbjornsdottir; Valgerdur Hauksdottir, my colleague, friend, and artist who initiated one of the first networked/distributed Master's programs in Fine Arts in Europe in the early 90's; Finnish artist Kaisu Koivisto, a constant inspiration and friend; Nan Hoover, media and performance artist and teacher, whose passing last year was really a tragic loss to all who knew her; Bernice Luhulima, Eija Makivuoti, and Mari Keski-Korsu in Helsinki, Dagmar Kase in Tallinn, Rasa Smite in Riga, Isabelle Jenniches in Santa Cruz, Sophea Lerner in Delhi; Share.dj amigas Marie-Helene Parant in Montreal and Keiko Uenishi in NYC; Kristin Bergaust from Atelier Nord days; Francis Charteris in Boulder; Amanda McDonald Crowley now at eyebeam; Honor Harger; Kathy Rae Huffman; Helen Varley Jamieson; Carmin Karasic; Josephine Bosma; Joanna Buick; Sher Doruff; Bronac Ferran; Elisa Giaccardi; Antoinette LaFarge; Alice Miceli; Varsha Nair (womanifesto) in Bangkok; Leena Saarinen; Katrin Sigurdardottir; Helen Thorington; Adrianne Wortzel...
