Ah, sorry to hear this -- Mika and I first met when I was guest teaching at the 
Media (CAP) Lab in Helsinki in 1994, then again later renewed our acquaintance 
in 2000-1 as colleagues at the Lab on the occasion of an informal breakfast with 
some of his and my students and Howard Rheingold who was in Helsinki giving his 
forward-looking presentations (to a packed house in the Laasipalatsi Rex 
Theater)... Mika held several alternative workshops in the context of his 
"Crucible" program at the Lab, one memorable one was with butoh artist, Aki 
Suzuki, who taught a group of us the basics of butoh performance. Flamboyant, 
sharp, quick-witted, personable, and ever active in his physical presence, Mika 
was a great counter-point within the Helsinki techie scene.

Leila Johnston: Hacking Rambert - a review | By Charlotte Webb

This is a review of Leila Johnston's residency at the Rambert Dance company
from October 2015 - 2016 and the report she produced as a result. It looks
at the value Leila brought by engaging the company with her critical
perspectives about tech culture, as much as by introducing the dancers to
'tools'.

[NetBehaviour] Rio and Others (sport, music, de Beauvoir)

Rio and Others (sport, music, de Beauvoir)

miniature afghan fretless tambur
http://www.alansondheim.org/afghani.mp3 (i'm getting there)

I've been watching as much of the Olympics as I can; it's good
to practice music while they're on. I'm disgusted by U.S.
chauvinism; I'm also disgusted by the rampant commercialism -
cutting away, for example, whenever an athlete is hurt. But I'm
also amazed at the brilliance of athletes (as I write this,
Neymar is down), who practice for years, perfecting their sport;
it's inspiring to see such ability. I keep thinking of my own
musical practice; whenever I go slack, touch and sound loosen
their uneasy collaboration, and I feel the need to start over
again. When I'm playing, say, the tambur (do listen to both
versions), my eyes focus on the bottom of the instrument, where
the bow is; if I video my fingers, I'm fascinated by their
speed, as if they're acting on their own, responding to the
quick and strange dynamics of muscle memory. Anything that
someone does well physically (beyond this always seems to be
well out of my league; I sense whole realms opening up at the
touch of a finger, a hand, a leg, a vault, and kick, a jump. I
watch these unattainable worlds; I can't imagine what it's like,
for example, to complete a floor exercise, or hold perfectly
still in an archery competition. So what I'm doing, now, is
trying out small modules, processing them with inverse
amplitudes, odd dynamic translations; at least I can hear
something new, for me, and at my end, something old as well, as
these modules appear to be, on one hand, an imitation the sounds
of anomalous shortwave signals, and on the other, some
traditional structures of ecstasy and repetition. One always
does what one can. And while I recognize all the dreary
patriotism and commercialism of the Rio games, I try to tunnel
beneath these, and rise to witness the elegance above. Neymar's
okay.

"I was rowing, and the boat glided along without leaving a
trace, so quietly. To be nothing but the white ripple rising and
disappearing into the even surface of the water. _That voice
should be killed. That voice what was saying: 'I should like to
be that ripple.' She said: 'That voice should be killed.' The
ripple was born and died without a voice._"

- Simone de Beauvoir, The Blood of Others, p. 143, trans. Roger
Senhouse and Yvonne Moyse, New York, 1948. French original,
1943, Le Sang des Autres.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9 August 2016

INTERNET PIONEERS VNS MATRIX CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF THEIR CYBERFEMINIST MANIFESTO

The computer art group VNS Matrix are acknowledged as internet pioneers. The 
group of four artists formed in Adelaide in 1991 and created ’A Cyberfeminist 
Manifesto for the 21st Century’ with cyberfeminism going on to become an 
international movement.

Before the world wide web, these visionary artists were creating artworks that 
investigated the role and representation of women in technology.

Influenced by cyberpunk, video games and French feminist theory, VNS Matrix 
playfully imagined a virtual world populated by female cyborgs, super heroines 
and malevolent multinational corporations.

Their first major commissioned work was a 6metre x 3metre billboard of the 
‘Cyberfeminist Manifesto’ that was mounted on the exterior of Tin Sheds 
Gallery, City Road Sydney for a month during 1991. Before the days of social 
media, this image was photographed and sent around the world, while the 
manifesto was printed and distributed across Australia and internationally. The 
manifesto was translated by fans of VNS Matrix into Russian, Finnish, Japanese, 
German, Italian, Spanish and Euskera (Basque).

The group created the large scale installation ALL NEW GEN that included a 
computer game, light boxes, sound works, video and performance. The game and 
exhibition ALL NEW GEN has been shown in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, 
Darwin, Helsinki, Linz, Bilbao, Cannes, Amsterdam, St Petersburg, New York, 
Chicago and Minneapolis.

The work of VNS Matrix is now taught in universities and is still exhibited 
around the world and published in journals and textbooks. Two members of the 
group, FRANCESCA DA RIMINI and JULIANNE PIERCE, are based in Adelaide with 
VIRGINIA BARRATT based in northern NSW and JOSEPHINE STARRS in Sydney,

VNS Matrix are re-forming for a one-off performance of ‘A Tender Hex for the 
Anthropocene' at the ‘Femflix’ exhibition, 6.30pm Wednesday 10th August at 
Sydney College of the Arts. A compilation of VNS Matrix video and sound work is 
included in the exhibition that runs until 3rd September.

‘Femflix’ captures the unique voices of 90s feminist screen culture and is 
curated by Jacqueline Milner, Jane Schneider and Deborah Szapiro.

[NetBehaviour] Mika ‘Lumi’ Tuomola 1971-2016

[helen varley jamieson]

yesterday i learned of the death of mika "lumi" tuomola, a finnish new
media artist. maybe some of you on this list have known him.

i only met mika once in person, but he was a close friend of my Avatar
Body Collision colleague leena saarinen, & was quite often in the
background of our rehearsals so he was very present in my life during
those years. i remember him as a funny and smart guy who was
enthusiastic about experimenting & trying out different ways of using
new technologies in creative ways. he often gave us feedback or other
support for our work.

mika made a significant contribution to the development of interactive
media arts. in the 90s he wrote & directed one of the first online
interactive dramas, & in 2006 in collaboration with leena saarinen he
developed "accidental lovers", an interactive TV series where viewers
could influence the plot by sending text messages from their mobile
phones. he became a professor at Politecnico di Milano in 2015.
