[NetBehaviour] caiosolos

[Alan Sondheim]

caiosolos

the instrument plays one tune or its background chording
repeatedly; here's my riding the two-backed beast of the
keyboard. a shell emanates and leaves us forever and
often there's more to the unstated melody than there is
to the unmelodic state.

we're tired in rochester, close to performing tomorrow
night at the bug jar. everything is jaunty! come along
to 219 monroe avenue at 6! three wonderful performances! *

http://www.alansondheim.org/caio1.mp3

* and i may play violin which counts as a fourth
(if i do it because i may do some other stuff also)

* we're really tired

There is evidence of prior glacial activity in the region but the landscape 
around our property has been too eroded since the last ice age for it to show 
that much. The landscape is extremely folded - so in that sense there is a D&G 
quality.

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[Simon Biggs]

We (my family and I) did grab what we can and head for the hills. Literally. We 
now live high up in the hills in an obscure and hard to find place a reasonably 
safe distance from where other people live about as far from the cradle of 
Western civilisation one can be (Australia). We are surrounded by a parcel of 
land that is ours and functions something like a fortress. I guess that means I 
can’t be an accelerationist - even if I wanted to be…

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[Simon Biggs]

I’ve always been sceptical of manifestos, isms and movements. They typically 
corrupt themselves and end up in a car crash. The same goes for ideology.

I have two questions:

In what sense is accelerationism distinct from prior isms?
Distinct or not, do I want to be associated with it - or don’t I have a choice 
(perhaps Marc can answer that one…)?

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[Tom Kohut]

Regarding what an accelerationist aesthetics might resemble (or the set of 
things which m ight be grouped via family resemblance as an "accelerationist 
aesthetics"), there's the June 2013 EFlux which was devoted to exactly this 
question. In it, Patricia MacCormack (In "Cosmogenic Acceleration: Futurity and 
Ethics") asks:
"[…] what is the qualitative difference between a nihilistic reading of 
acceleration as saturation without refined intensity [as in its 90s, Nick Land 
versions], and an accelerationist aesthetic that does not equate speed with the 
too-fast replacements of capitalism, instead seeking intensity in all movement, 
and thus all movement as acceleration (even multidirectional)?"
I think this last point is particularly interesting insofar as it insists, as I 
think Rob Myers pointed out vis-à-vis Futurism, that speed is not an absolute 
quality, but is a relational concept. In this sense, no continents without 
islands. 
I also wonder about how accelerationism's aesthetics relates to the larger 
question of political aesthetics. What I mean by this is: accelerationism, in 
its latest version, started off primarily as a way of naming a political 
tendency: how to best bring about a post-capitalist global situation using the 
tools which are available. Thus, not exactly an oppositional stance – we must 
smash capitalism – but rather a repurposing/hacking of the platforms that 
capitalist interests have made available and using them as weapons against that 
which impedes a transition to post-capitalism. Is aesthetics one such tool? I 
might point out that the 90s cyber version of accelerationism certainly had 
aesthetic investments (Neuromancer, Blade Runner, Terminator, etc.). So the 
question that accelerationism poses might be something like: what sort of 
coordination can/should exist between a post-capitalist political program and 
art?

[NetBehaviour] Financial Times - Construction is turning London into a city of holes

[dave miller]

But how much of the latest building boom will actually improve the life of
Londoners?

London continues to attract people from all over the world — even if the
young, the creative and the unsure are increasingly pushed to the margins.
There was never a perfect moment. Yet walking through its fast-changing
streets there is a sense that the new is inevitably bigger than the old;
glassier, shinier, but rarely better. “The chief function of the city,”
wrote the urban historian Lewis Mumford in 1961, “is to convert power into
form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art,
biological reproduction into social creativity.” The chief function of

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[Rob Myers]

I think Haraway is a good historical example. Their Cyborg Manifesto was
written against sclerotic essentialist-/eco- feminism and amidst the
decline of left politics in the US during the Reagan era. They take the
Cold War figure of the cyborg and re-purpose it to critique all of this.
There are strong parallels to Srnicek & Williams' current argument that
"folk politics" is insufficient to bring about political change.
 
I don't think that Accelerationist aesthetics are even slightly resolved
yet, and that's a good thing. In "Accelerationist Art" I mention some
examples and possibilities, particularly art that tries to exit the
confines of Contemporary Art's simulacrum of freedom. Maybe we can come
up with something here. :-) In general, Accelerationist aesthetics would
presumably be about increasing the capabilities of our reason in/via
art, which I think would require increasing the capabilities of our
perception. One view of this would be something like Cultural Analytics,
the ability to deal in millions of images or other cultural/perceptible
phenomena at a time. But then there's the singular power of myth and
icons/iconography to guide and organise our thought and perception.
Which brings us back to the quarantine zone in which we can look at
Hyperstition...
 
I think that a) and c) are good positions to combine. If they lead to
b), that's great. If not, hopefully understanding why not will lead to
positive action in other ways.

Additivism is directly concerned with these.

Contemporary Left Accelerationism is a resource for dealing with them if
one wishes to do so. "Inventing The Future", the follow-up to the
"Manifesto For An Accelerationist Politics", has been criticised for not
taking an explicit enough stand on this, but it is designed to create a
political environment in which people have the resources to address
issues such as environmental devastation in a serious way.

90s-style cyberculture accelerationism was very much in favour of them
(regarding "The Terminator" as a manifesto rather than a warning).

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[ruth catlow]

Dear Annie, Dave, Alan and Paul,

Annie you asked
"I want to slow down, to be attentive, to touch - can that be part of 
Accelerationisme?"


Yes. I think so.
This is less about speed (as distinct from Futurism) than it is about 
rates of change.


The technologies that we use are bound up with with advanced capitalism. 
We watch our political and social infrastructures unable to evolve fast 
enough to solve the wicked problems - for environment, democracy, 
justice and a good life- than they create.


I think we can take two attitudes

1) Save ourselves! Take what we can carry, run for the hills and build 
the best fortresses we can with people whose values we share.


or

2) coordinate and collaborate in the higher interests of all living 
beings - constantly working out who and what these are- and using all 
means at our disposal.


I like the idea of living in the hills.
But not under siege, and not in earshot of future generations of 
bemused, brutalised, alienated people.


The dominant model of global coexistence is that of endless economic 
growth and Neoliberalism (the (increasingly automated) marketization of 
everything). This  tends to centralize power and resources and renders 
less effective the usual ways of blocking and resisting; of work-based 
and traditional-identity based solidarity.


Instead Contemporary Accelerationism suggests (I think) that we use in 
new combinations all the tools, tactics, and knowledges in an attempt to 
perform a series of judo moves (using the force rather than resisting 
the force), or to sling-shot our way through the mess we are in.


As always, there needs to be a way to accommodate the visions and madcap 
schemes of all sorts- many islands rather than one land mass as Paul 
said. That's why this discussion here and now.


Respect!
Ruth

Why in the first place I should think about it? Modernism, the

Is Accelerationisme the most recent one in this row?

Accelerate? What is knowledge in this frame, how is it constructed? Is

Heya.

My name is Rob. I'm not (yet) an Accelerationist, I just play one on the
Internet. As part of which I've written about Accelerationist themes for
Furtherfield over the last couple of years. Most recently about
"Accelerationist Art".

Hi all,

Good to see list users are already, tentatively dipping their toes into the
Accelerationist discussion.

I'm actually grading student work today and through the weekend (yawn).

Ruth and others will (hopefully) offer guidance through the maze, or at
least support into this dialogue at its beginning stages.

>From Tuesday onwards I intend to jump in and play.

Much respect...

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[Tom Kohut]

Hello,
My name is Tom Kohut and I'm a sort of accelerationist.
I've been following the discussion of accelerationism since version 2 began
to coalesce in 2008. (V.1 being the work in the 60s/70s of
Deleuze&Guatarri, Lyotard's *Libidinal Economy* and Baudrillard). I say
"sort of accelerationist" because while I am widely sympathetic to the
principles of accelerationism (not necessarily those of Williams and
Srnick's Manifesto), I think the implications of accelerationist tendencies
in art and thought need to be articulated and debated. I look forward to
doing it here.

Re: [NetBehaviour] not an accelerationist / not into promethean amplifiers

[Johannes Birringer]

I like Alan's question.

(and stopped reading after the promo bit at the beginning)
>>
contemporary Accelerationism has both a philosophical and a political form with 
the latter only weakly related to the former. What Epistemic (philosophical) 
and Left (political) Accelerationism have in common is an attitude of 
"prometheanism", of amplifying our capabilities, of rationally overcoming 
intellectual and material limits. Of hacking the systems of philosophical and 
political thought to find the exploits that will allow us to increase our 
knowledge of them, our control of them, our reach through them

In a slightly tangential relation to this discussion as part of the next 
EvenSalon: Either/Or on Sat. 30th at the Apiary in London we have two 
participants involved in arguments around Accelerationism.


Themed around Either/Or we're delighted to have presentations from David 
Cunningham of the Radical Philosophy collective/Univ. of Westminster, 
who wrote on 'Accelerationism and its discontents' and Daniel Rourke, 
co-founder of the Additivism Manifesto.

This recent article by Rob Myers, is helpful in that it concisely 
points to different uses of, and contexts for, the term 
'Accelerationism' along with a commentary about its relevance to 
emancipatory practices in contemporary art . 
http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/accelerationist-art


As Marc said before, lots of people will have different ideas about 
what Accelerationism means to them and this is one of the reasons for 
this discussion taking place.

Everyone is welcome to join in however makes sense to them.

Let's go!

Respect!
Ruth

Re: [NetBehaviour] My name is [Your Name Here] and I am an Accelerationist

[Alan Sondheim]

Hi - I have a naive question - does accelerationism deal with issues of 
pollution, extinction, and so forth? Can one wait for accelerationism? Has 
one already waited?

Thanks, Alan

My name is Annie Abrahams and I don't know if I am an Accelerationist.
I don't like the word and I know that words are not innocent.
I do like Ruth and I know she never is completely wrong.

Why in the first place I should think about it? Modernism, the Postmodern,
the New Aesthetics, Post Internet Art - just names, almost forgotten names
- containers that served to categorize discussions, postures ... analyses?
perspectives?

Is Accelerationisme the most recent one in this row?
What should we discuss ... ?
Accelerate? What is knowledge in this frame, how is it constructed? Is it
a-historical? Is it prospective?

I want to slow down, to be attentive, to touch - can that be part of
Accelerationisme?

Gretta Louw reviews my book

from "estranger to e-stranger: Living in between languages", and finds that
not only does it demonstrate a brilliant history in performance art, but,
it is also a sharp and poetic critique about language and everyday culture.

[NetBehaviour] 'We Need to Talk About Accelerationism' debate on Netbehaviour & Neterarti starting Thursday 21st April////////////////

[ruth catlow]

Hi Netbehaviourists,

Welcome to the first day of 'We Need to Talk About Accelerationism' a 
month of art, discussion and exchange here on Netbehaviour and Neterarti 
(https://neterarti.furtherfield.org) (drop me a line if you need an 
invitation to Neterarti- it's invitation only at the moment to keep the 
spam at the gates).


Our idea is that in depth discussion can take place here, and that 
Neterarti provides the perfect platform for pithy punchy accelerationist 
performance.


Here is more info about why we think this is a worthwhile endeavour- 
along with some context and readings.
