[NetBehaviour] The Electronic Man: A Global Performance.
The Electronic Man: A Global Performance. Renee Carmichael interviews Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico from, Art is Open Source (AOS) and the international think-tank FakePress, about their recent project The Electronic Man. Interview: http://www.furtherfield.org/features/interviews/electronic-man-global-performance You Are Now the Electronic Man are the words that appear before even opening the website for The Electronic Man, a project initiated by Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico of Art is Open Source (AOS) and FakePress. And by becoming part of The Electronic Man, sharing your emotions as they become linked through QR Codes and help to build the frame of The Electronic Man, you are participating in a real time global performance. We discuss AOS's ideas and intentions, regarding their activities of performance and use of technology, and methods of engagement with anthropology and biology. This real time global performance relates to conceptual experiments in remixing reality and creating new sensual experiences with technology. The email interview took place after their recent exhibition at Furtherfield's gallery in London, REFF - REMIX THE WORLD! REINVENT REALITY! (http://tinyurl.com/66mb85e), February, March 2011, and during their current project The Electronic Man, part of the ADD Festival in Italy 2011 (http://www.addfestival.com/). Renee graduated from Goldsmiths with a Masters in Interactive Media: Critical Theory and Practice. Her most recent work arose from working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) support groups to intrepret their perception of objects within the home alongside theories of discreteness and technology. She is currently interested in exploring relationships between food, data and technology.

[NetBehaviour] Software of the Spectacle.
Software of the Spectacle. Final Cut Pro X means Apple has abandoned professional artists by Flick Harrison Guy Debord said that the main function of our society is now the production of spectacle. The spectacle alienates us from life and each other. Facebook, for instance, transforms our relationships into images of those relationships, mediated by Facebook’s own hidden desires. Fifteen years of engagement with the Final-Cut-Pro-using professional class is, at best, a good self-funding, street-cred foundation for the new consumer version of FCP, called FCP-X. It could be compared to the free itunes app of yesteryear which slowly led us to the Itunes Store and thence to the app store, iphone and ipad. Since Photoshop or thereabouts, the line between artist / consumer / producer has blurred for many reasons. Web 2.0 was a major result / acceleration of that, when the content between ads suddenly became user-generated instead of professionally-produced. Popping out a lower-cost, easier-to-use version of FCP should goose the whole production stream in that direction, not only helping fill the million-channel universe with consumer-produced stuff but driving the wages of pros down. http://blog.flickharrison.com/2011/07/software-of-the-spectacle/ ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
[NetBehaviour] Composition with JavaScript by Arcangel Constantini.
Composition with JavaScript by Arcangel Constantini. Composition with Javascript is an interactive work made using HTML, CSS, Javascript and jQuery, based on Piet Mondrian's “Composition with Yellow, Red, Black, Blue and Grey” (1920). It allows everybody deconstruct the original painting and form it again in whatever he or she wants. Lines are shiftable (just drag it with your mouse) and colours changeable (click on it). Texture of the painting was preserved for authentic look. One can play with composition, forms and colours, alter the harmony of the piece or even destroy it and compose something pictorial (see examples). I used similarity among Mondrian grid structures and tabular web interface to make this project which aims to represent the relationship between modernity and postmodernity (or rather the way in which we as people living in postmodern epoch treat the art of modernism) and main cultural shifts concerned: from distance between artist and public to participation, from finished work to ongoing process, from purpose to play, from creation, totalization to deconstruction, from metaphysics to irony and so on.

Background on the ldquo;anarchyrdquo; theme: 100 years ago, Mexican journalist and revolutionary Ricard Flores-Magón lived in Los Angeles at a time of tremendous political fermentmdash;on both sides of the border. The term ldquo;anarchyrdquo; had widely divergent meanings depending upon who uttered and who heard it and it was often linked in the popular imagination with violent radicalismmdash;the ldquo;terrorismrdquo; of the day. VARIEDADES is inspired by the Mexican vaudeville shows in 1920s Los Angeles in which Martínezrsquo;s grandparents were regular performers. The series is made possible by a generous grant from the Material World Foundation (http://www.georgeharrison.com/mwf/main.html) and Liz Garo and The Echo -- micha cárdenas PhD Student, Interdivisional Media Arts and Practice, iMAP, USC Provost Fellow, USC Co-Author, Trans Desire / Affective Cyborgs, Atropos Press, http://is.gd/daO00 blog: http://transreal.org ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
