Re: [NetBehaviour] Turbulence.org Archive Lives On

Great news, ELO and Turbulence were critical early on to the development of
digital media art. More than that, they include the "other histories" that
don't make it into the books and lists and (impossible) canons.

This is absolutely excellent; I'm associated with ELO, and they're 
excellent with archiving, conferences, and so forth. My nephew's 
associated with UVic digital media, and is probably involved in this.

Congratulations!

[NetBehaviour] night thoughts, credo

[Alan Sondheim]

night thoughts, credo

http://www.alansondheim.org/forcredo.jpg

it comes down to this. i can move my fingers in a certain way,
and a sound appears, and a sound remembered. i have made a
movement and the movement has a result, draw out by the
movement, in a causal nexus, not cause and effect, with the
movement. now somewhere else a man sits and he presses a button,
and he is breathing and his hands, his fingers, are moving, and
the button is pressed, and a chain of events occurs, and many
die, and many others suffer terribly, and perhaps are wounded or
starve, perhaps are burned alive. both of these are
inextricable, the pressing of the button, the appearance of the
sound, both are actions, both have consequence. i say these are
equal, that by saying they are equal, i retain my freedom, my
sanity, my conscience. for i will not give one up to the other,
or the other up to the one; as long as i am alive and capable of
thought, i say in this regard, my action suffuses as does the
action of the other, which i abhor, which i resist. but i must
retain my action as a counting of countries while i am walking
the walls of the prison, as the saying of prayers as the smoke
rises from the chimneys, as the performing of songs as sirens
scream in the distance. i will be found out, it is my desire to
be found out, to be part of the world. as the world withdraws
from me, i am diminished, as thoughtful as a slow suicide. as
long as i make the gesture of the appearance of sound, to myself
i am still alive, i am still among those who hear of the man who
presses the button, with so much suffering and so much death, in
its nexus and wake, the wake for the dead and the tortured. it
is the sound that i make, it is the nestling, the rustling of
this sound, but it is also the gesture and the thinking of this
sound, and the tending, the stewardship of this instrument that
i hold, that i will care of, and yet it is not in little things,
but the greatest things of all, what might be and what could be
and what would have been, that holds me in the skein of the
world, the world with the man with the button, who i forget, who
id o not think of forgetting, for whom i am one of the forgotten
ones, for whom i am unaccountable, unaccounted-for, hardly worth
the effort to remember a name or a sound or an instrument. and
of him i think the same, and will not name him, he is more
nameless than the others precisely because of his name, and now
this gesture is over i think, what i have been saying, and the
memory of the sound, each gesture has a sound, and all are equal
or unequal, all are present in the world.

[NetBehaviour] The Spectacle of Failure in Drone Warfare

[furtherfield]

The Spectacle of Failure in Drone Warfare.

Dave Young writes on the politics of the drone crash in response to the
artist collective IOCOSE and their sculptural work Drone Memorial.

"In IOCOSE's Drone Memorial, our attention is drawn to the fact that these
complex systems are precarious, that the drone is indeed a fallible
technology."

[NetBehaviour] Big Data In Our Hands?

[furtherfield]

Hi,

as most of you already know, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Foundation stages the
UNBOXING conference in Berlin on coming Saturday (December 3, 10 a.m. to
9 p.m.). It tackles "Algorithms, Data and Democracy" with many exciting
speakers including Tiziana Terranova (University of Naples) and Felix
Stalder (Zurich University of the Arts). The Berliner Gazette is hosting
one session based on the position paper developed at our UN|COMMONS
conference asking "Big Data In Our Hands?".

As the entire event is already overbooked, those of you who have not
registered yet but are still really eager to come can write us
(kw(at)berlinergazette) until Wednesday (November 30th) and we will try
to put you on our guest list. Otherwise we recommend the live stream
that will be available throughout the entire day.

Program overview:
http://www.rosalux.de/event/56358

Live stream:
http://www.rosalux.de/nc/mediathek/livestream.html

Position paper "Big Data In Our Hands?":

Kind regards,

[NetBehaviour] [Networked-Labour] The rise of digital empires.

[furtherfield]

[Networked-Labour] The rise of digital empires.

http://tech.newstatesman.com/guest-opinion/digital-empires


"The internet today is increasingly shaped by a small collection of digital
giants: Amazon. Apple. Facebook. Google. Even if these companies’
intentions are good, the amount of control they exert conflicts with the
internet’s best nature."

"Last year, Mozilla carried out research in emerging markets to unpack new
users’ relationships with the internet. We encountered a startling mindset
in East Africa – for many users, the internet was indistinguishable from
Facebook. The internet didn’t exist outside of this singular social
network."

"...today’s app economy, dictated by a tiny number of players like the App
Store and Google Play, creates a divide between the creators and consumers
– or, the winners and the losers.

"Recent research by UK firm Caribou Digital shows that most developers
outside the US find it almost impossible to reach a global audience – the
app stores are hard for new entrants in places like Kenya or Brazil to
break into. Furthermore, almost all countries in Asia, Africa and Latin
America are ‘importers’ in the app economy."


You know all of that. But where will it go from there? I continue to think
that one or more of those empires will merge with the global financial and
intelligence networks (unless that has already happened, as in the Onion
"joke" that the "CIA's 'Facebook' Program Dramatically Cut Agency's Costs")
and become the world government. In that development, Trump is a temporary
diversion: a holding action by an outmatched national capitalist. We'll see.

[NetBehaviour] Predictive Art Bot - Call for Artworks

[furtherfield]

Predictive Art Bot - Call for Artworks

PREDICTIVE ART BOT
CALL FOR INTERPRETATIONS OF AI GENERATED CONCEPTS


APPLICATIONS DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 15TH

Apply here: http://artbot.space/
Exhibitions @ Transmediale 2017 in Berlin, Digital Choc 2017 in Tokyo,
and other dates to be confirmed soon.
Press release and images: dropbox folder
Twitter bot: @predartbot


CALL FOR ARTWORKS

PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a generator of non-human artistic concepts. It is
presently offering production aids in order to accelerate the physical
dissemination of its deviant imagination. This process will lead to a
series of exhibitions across different countries, that becomes a hybrid
laboratory for human/non-human augmentation.
We invite artists to interpret, or appropriate some of the bot’s ideas.
This call is open to proposals including prototypes, failed experiments,
draft for an impossible project, one shot performances...


ABOUT THE BOT

[1] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a generator of non-human artistic concepts whose
use, appropriation and misappropriation are completely free.

[2] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a monitoring, forecasting and self-fulfilling
prophecy tool that operates in the field of art and activism.

[3] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a conceptual prosthesis intended to transcend
creative constraints such as habit, socialization and education in order to
encourage the creation of completely new objects.

[4] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is, at times, a system of sponsorship offering
production aids in order to accelerate the physical dissemination of its
deviant imagination.

[5] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a series of exhibitions across different
countries that becomes a laboratory for human/non-human augmentation.

[6] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a virus that transmutes trends into the
unexpected.

[7] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is, at its best, a lucky accident between your
imagination and words that the machine cannot comprehend.

[8] PREDICTIVE ART BOT is a manifestation of the AIvant-garde to come.
