Re: [NetBehaviour] review: Monetise Your Privilege with Schizo-Art Bollocks

2016-03-22 Thread Michael Szpakowski 
Yes - I completely agree Marc.Nathan Jones has done a service with this review, 
although I'm not sure it's necessary to call Guattari , Deleuze and Berardi as 
expert witnesses but to simply look and see what a nasty little bit of bullying 
was going on here.Furthermore, the point for me is not whether the performance 
was a "success" or "failure" but that it seems, at the most generous, a 
category error to judge it in those terms -a bit like awarding points for the 
grace with which someone might "perform" kicking a homeless person.For me 
ethics trumps art. Sometimes that can be a complex and difficult thing to 
disentangle, but not here. Pass the sick bag.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for posting this review of yours on Netbehaviour. 

All I can say right now (but will likely say more) is, Wow! This work sounds 
not only tedious, but also decadent and shallow, and reliant on other people's 
conditions of not being able to fight back, against a privileged form of 
exploitation. Thanks Nathan - an article that needed to be written so the 
emptiness in the mainstream art world is challenged.

Wishing you well.

marc

political structures which his work took part in, despite invoking the language 
and names of critical thinkers who would be enlightening on such subjects — an 
oversight I address 
here."https://medium.com/@nathmercy/portnoy-complaint-982d9d970fcf#.c6npu8rhc

Re: [NetBehaviour] seeking advice on linux laptops & text animation software

2016-03-22 Thread helen varley jamieson 
thanks very much rob. i think blender is probably a bit more than i need
(but one day i'd like to try & get my head around it ... ). i got a
recommendation from another list for something called sozi, which is
apparently animated slides (sounds like an open source powerpoint
perhaps) - i'll check out that & have also downloaded synfig to try
tomorrow.

actually i hadn't thought of putting linux on my my existing laptop;
it's an idea - but i'm expecting to have to have a transition period of
some months, & still have quite a few things that i need certain
software on the mac to do ... & not enough space to partition the hard
drive ... so i will have a look at thinkpads.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for posting this review of yours on Netbehaviour.

All I can say right now (but will likely say more) is, Wow! This work
sounds not only tedious, but also decadent and shallow, and reliant on
other people's conditions of not being able to fight back, against a
privileged form of exploitation. Thanks Nathan - an article that
needed to be written so the emptiness in the mainstream art world is

Definitely a project that gets the ethics/aesthetics equation very badly

No DVD drive (I use an external one) but I've been using ThinkPads

Adding GNU/Linux to an old laptop is usually a good way of extending its

Depending on the text and the time investment, Blender can be good for

thanks pall, i will chech out synfig :)

re the dvd drive: i realise they are becoming increasingly uncommon;
more than once i've been in the situation at a festival or conference
where someone has urgently needed to burn a dvd in order to present
something or play something in a performance, & no-one else except me
has had a dvd burner in their laptop. i use it sometimes to burn things
to post, i like to watch dvds on my laptop in bed, & i have a lot of
stuff backed up on cds & dvds which i do sometimes need to view. i have
several times found it useful when i've been travelling to have a
built-in one, but i probably could live with a separate dvd drive.

Have a question myself. There was a program for the Zaurus, Calculon, 
which is an n-dimensional graphing program; it can handle apparently any 
number of dim. - at least through 5. So there are 3-d slices of whatever 
objects one is examining. The program disappeared along with Zaurus - does 
anyone know of something that might do this, other than say Mathematica or 
Matlab (which cost). It obviously runs incredibly lean. Has anyone ported 
Calculon to other distributions? Etc.

Re: [NetBehaviour] seeking advice on linux laptops & text animation software

2016-03-22 Thread Pall Thayer 
Are you really sure that you need a DVD drive? They're becoming
increasingly uncommon on laptops. I recently updated my laptop to a Toshiba
Satellite S55T-B5150. I'm running Ubuntu and everything works well and it's
super fast. It comes with 16gb of ram which is not upgradeable and there's
no DVD option. 16gb is plenty for me and it comes with an ssd drive which
really helps with the speed.

Synfig Studio (http://www.synfig.org/cms/) is a good vector-based animation
package that is easy to use.

[NetBehaviour] Refusal as Research Method in Discard Studies

2016-03-22 Thread furtherfield 
Refusal as Research Method in Discard Studies

By: Alex Zahara

Researchers examining waste issues have the potential to uncover
particularly sensitive information—that specific places, people or animals
might be contaminated— that has very real social and material consequences
for communities being studied. We also might be given access to report on
potentially painful community events and experiences. As researchers
interested in social justice, how do we proceed helpfully in our research?

The concept of ‘ethnographic refusal’ is one way forward. Ethnographic
refusal is a practice by which researchers and research participants
together decide not to make particular information available for use within
the academy. Its purpose is not to bury information, but to ensure that
communities are able to respond to issues on their own terms. An
ethnographic refusal is intended to redirect academic analysis away from
harmful pain-based narratives that obscure slow violence, and towards the
structures and institutions that engender those narratives. It is a method
centrally concerned with a community’s right to self-representation.

hi everyone,
i am seeking advice on 2 questions:

firstly, i need to upgrade my laptop & have decided to make the
transition to linux. mint has been recommended to me for the OS. does
anyone out there have any advice regarding choice of hardware? ideally i
want a small laptop with a dvd drive, ethernet port, & separate audio in
& out ports.

secondly, i'm working on an installation which includes projected
animated text. previously i've done this in a basic but effective way
with powerpoint. this time, i want more control over the animations than
powerpoint allows, and it needs to be a looping video as it's going to
be left running on its own. can anyone recommend a good software for
text animation? (preferably open source).

all ideas much appreciated,

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for posting this review of yours on Netbehaviour.

All I can say right now (but will likely say more) is, Wow! This work
sounds not only tedious, but also decadent and shallow, and reliant on
other people's conditions of not being able to fight back, against a
privileged form of exploitation. Thanks Nathan - an article that needed to
be written so the emptiness in the mainstream art world is challenged.

Wishing you well.

[NetBehaviour] Monetise Your Privilege With Schizo-Art Bollocks.

2016-03-22 Thread marc garrett 
Monetise Your Privilege With Schizo-Art Bollocks : A review of Michael
Portnoy at Liverpool Biennial EVENT, 8th March 2016.

By Nathan Jones.

Watching the Liverpool art establishment and their European friends snigger
as a Citibank call centre employee was subjected to Michael Portnoy’s
pompous art rhetoric was agonizing and dispiriting. It was uncannily
evocative of the worst aspects of contemporary business practice, brought
uncritically into the performance space as a joke at the expense of the
cognitive worker.

Portnoy continually posed himself as wilfully blind to the oppressive
political structures which his work took part in, despite invoking the
language and names of critical thinkers who would be enlightening on such
subjects — an oversight I will address here.

29th at Transmediale 2016. The smart city manufactures users out of
citizens, crafting an expanse whereby the hegemonic grip of
super-production evolves into a threateningly subversive entity. According
to Young, speculative architecture is one of the methods of combating the
city’s supremacy – moulding the networks within a smart city to facilitate
our human needs within a physical realm. It is a means of becoming active
agents in amending the future.

[NetBehaviour] review: Monetise Your Privilege with Schizo-Art Bollocks

2016-03-22 Thread nathan jones 
Monetise Your Privilege with Schizo-Art Bollocks: a review of Michael
Portnoy talk at a Liverpool Biennial event, 8th March 2016.

"Portnoy continually posed himself as wilfully blind to the oppressive
political structures which his work took part in, despite invoking the
language and names of critical thinkers who would be enlightening on such
subjects — an oversight I address here."

2016-03-22 Thread { brad brace } 

is there anyway to recover mp3s from CDs made in 2002: the

[NetBehaviour] Proposition by Heath Bunting 'anonymous corporation workshop'

2016-03-22 Thread marc garrett 
Hi Netbehaviourists,

I have recently received an email from Heath Bunting,

Ans, he says “i am thinking of running a domestic anonymous corporation
workshop”

“a how-to turn your home into a surveillance proof sanctuary by converting
your household into a corporation”

“i would need a household to convert eg all the bills would be in the
corporation name not the occupying individuals”

“do you know anyone that might be interested?”

If anyone is interested in collaborating with Heath on this project please
contact me, and I will connect you up with Heath.

Wishing you well.

marc
