[NetBehaviour] from today's Washington Post
The fascist creep in action: Alan Sondheim Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Wednesday that he reserves the right to jail journalists, if we have to. Here's his exchange with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing: KLOBUCHAR: Will you commit to not putting reporters in jail for doing their jobs? SESSIONS: Well, I don't know that I can make a blanket commitment to that effect. But I would say this: We have not taken any aggressive action against the media at this point. But we have matters that involve the most serious national security issues, that put our country at risk, and we will utilize the authorities that we have, legally and constitutionally, if we have to. Maybe we we always try to find an alternative way, as you probably know, Sen. Klobuchar, to directly confronting a media person. But that's not a total, blanket protection. There is a lot of missing context here that Sessions would have been wise to include, if he were interested in avoiding panic. Sessions appeared to be reiterating a warning he issued in August, when he said that as part of the Justice Department's effort to prosecute government workers who make illegal disclosures of classified information, one of the things we are doing is reviewing policies affecting media subpoenas. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Re: [NetBehaviour] Maecenas
It's the men who have traditionally gotten the most attention, but there have always been many brilliant women; when I did Individuals in 1974 for Dutton, the ratio was pretty much even, and when I curated later at Nexus in Atlanta, it was the same. This is an issue and prejudice on the part of cultural sexism, not on the part of the great number of amazing woman artists I've known. The museum director is obviously way out of line here and I wonder if he thinks all the men he loves are white.

[NetBehaviour] Bosun Whistle Crow
Bosun Whistle Crow http://www.alansondheim.org/seal22.jpg https://youtu.be/LHwPmkh-Fic playing with crow into the wind, seals and cormorants in the distance, out of sight, a lone clamor in the background, invisible, the crow transforming everything, the beautiful dry sound of the whistle http://www.alansondheim.org/seal23.jpg My grotesque body. Today, a crow, we heard the sounds of its wings, loud and near us. But that wasn't the crow in the trees, in the distance. Misplaced Description of Everything in my Life and Work * "There are several categories. There are a number of still images "charprint" - these represent charred bodies, the results of genocide; they're small 3d-printed models. They've been shown in London, Spain, and Providence (the first two through Furtherfield, the last at Interrupt through John Cayley). They're the result of distorted motion-capture work - you can see some of this at 2p, body loses body, mocaps.mov; these were produced by either altering mocap software or remapping body nodes in various ways. I had extensive residencies at West Virginia University's Virtual Environments Lab, where these and other works have been produced. The same figures have also been used in Second Life, MacGrid, and other virtual worlds; the results are things like numbhir, hypnagogic, thedead, etc. I deconstruct SL avatars in the ruin. A lot of the work deals with anomalies in virtual worlds - regions or activities which operate half-in and half-out of the worlds - examples include suicide (look at suicide.mov and ignore suicide.mp4, it's not as sharp), switching, and the two reality pieces. Pain and some of the other pieces use text. Gunscan deconstructs a gun by altering laser 3d-scanning program parameters. Floodwall is a sped-up version of a codework I did on a bridge at Johnstown, Pennsylvania; in 1889 Johnstown experienced one of the worst disasters in the U.S. - 2209 people were killed when a dam burst, and the debris wiped out several towns. Everything ended up at the bridge. I programmed the bridge to say HELP in various ways - QRRR, MAYDAY, and SOS. The piece was run for several days and can be activated again. www presents an anomaly in Second Life which ends up representing a Wide World War, constant bombing. the dead was used as part of a suite of pieces dealing with genocide, performance, ISIS, and terror that was, for me, the basis of a stint at the empyre email list, where Johannes Birringer and I moderated a discussion on these issues for a month. aaggd is more complex than it appears; the images - which seem to be ordinary video feedback - are actually send around the world, and it's the circuit that creates them and the slight lag between them. This was done using the conferencing application in linux, Access Grid, and specifying the nodes the image/sound would have to go through - we used Morgantown in West Virginia, and a site in Queensland, Australia. This is also the case for hypnagogic. Fb images are from Facebook; I used a photograph of a severely wounded WWI German soldier as my personal image, trying both to cut through the surface of Fb and represent the horrors of war. The photograph is from Krieg dem Krieg. Finally stripped is the result of stripping altered motion capture movements from an avatar body, and re-presenting the movements on an abstract group of forms; I worked with this to examine how movement itself might represent consciousness without any other visual indication of organism. *sent with examples and additional text to a gallery. I pray, please please show me, I will play my bosun whistle for you and surely some crow will sing. And together we will fight the current regime and raise a flag. And the flag will have a bosun whistle and crow on it. And we will win. The crow will win. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

From Ted Byfield, nettime I worked with Mike in Cape Breton (Sydney and elsewhere); his work intersects in so many ways with Furtherfield. Very sorry to pass this on. - Alan -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2017 19:10:06 From: t byfield To: Nettime-l Subject: RIP Michael Gurstein I'm sad to pass this news on. T < https://www.facebook.com/gurstein/posts/10155671874752457 > Michael Gurstein October 2, 1944 - October 8, 2017 Michael Gurstein was born on October 2, 1944 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to Emanuel (Manny) and Sylvia Gurstein. While still an infant, the family moved to Melfort, Saskatchewan where Manny grew up and his family still lived. In Mike?s youth, Manny and Sylvia ran a successful retail store. There, the family grew with a younger sister, Penny. Mike excelled at school. He spent his summers working at a golf club in Waskesiu and graduated from Melfort Composite Collegiate Institute high school, and then completed an undergraduate degree in philosophy at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Mike was driven by pragmatism and curiosity about the wider world that motivated his doctoral studies in Sociology at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. While a student, he began his life-long exploration of the world, with trips through North Africa and a long journey from Southeast Asia through Afghanistan and Iran and back to the U.K. Upon Mike?s return to Canada, he worked in politics and policy, as a senior civil servant for the Province of British Columbia under Barrett?s NDP government (1972-4) and for the Province of Saskatchewan under Blakeney?s NDP Government (1974-5). While teaching at York University, he ran unsuccessfully for the NDP in the riding of Parkdale. Mike moved to Ottawa in the late 1970s where he met his wife, Fernande Faulkner. Together they had two children, Rachel (1981) and Marc (1983). He and Fernande established and ran a management consulting firm, Socioscope, which studied and guided the social aspects of the introduction of information communication technology. In Ottawa, Mike also built and managed a real estate portfolio. In 1992 the family moved to New York, where Mike and Fernande worked for the United Nations. In 1995, Mike became Associate Chair in the Management of Technological Change at the University College of Cape Breton. There, he founded the Centre for Community and Enterprise Networking (C/CEN) as a community based research laboratory exploring applications of ICT to support social change in one of Canada's most economically disadvantaged regions. Grown out of his early experience in rural small town Saskatchewan and his later experiences in impoverished but culturally and communally rich Cape Breton, Mike's work provided the conceptual framing for ?community informatics?. He published the first major work in the field, and introduced the term "community informatics" into wider usage as referring to the research and praxis discipline underpinning the social appropriation of ICT. Within the area of community informatics a major contribution has been Mike's introduction of the notion of "effective use" as a critical analytical framework for assessing technology implementation superseding approaches based on the more commonly accepted frameworks such as that of the "digital divide". In 1999, the family moved to Vancouver to be closer to Mike?s parents and sister. In 2000, Mike and Fernande returned to New York, to work at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the UN, respectively. Mike returned to Vancouver in 2006 and established the Center for Community Informatics Research Development and Training (CCIRDT). With this platform, he traveled the world to consult with governments and civil society organisations, present at conferences, and conduct research. Mike was the founding editor of the Journal of Community Informatics and was Foundation Chair of the Community Informatics Research Network. He was at the time of his death the Executive Director of CCIRDT, and formerly an Adjunct Professor in the School of Library and Information Studies Vancouver Canada, and as well as Research Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey, and Research Professor at the University of Quebec (Outaouais). He was also a member of the High Level Panel of Advisers of the UN's Global Alliance for ICT and Development. He has also served on the Board of the Global Telecentre Alliance, Telecommunities Canada, the Pacific Community Networking Association and the Vancouver Community Net. In recent years he was active as a commentator, speaker and essayist/blogger articulating a community informatics (grassroots ICT user) perspective in the areas of open government data and internet governance. Through all of his work, Mike was motivated by his commitment to democratising access to the tools of information technology and the advan

Rabidity ~~ http://www.alansondheim.org/aud01.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/aud03.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/aud24.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/aud36.jpg A rabid network connects and interconnects everywhere and at all times; so that it might appear as substance, at best dynamic striations. A chain may be as strong as its weakest link, but a chain may also be duplicated; each to the other, each a procurement; many weak links on many duplicates may be irrelevant (gather them in one place, under one command, and then there's a difference). A chain grows at one or both ends; it's anchored, it's ascendent, it's linear. Everything that transmits is orderly. There are more frequencies than we know within the universe, more frequencies any-where and every-where, and if we think of such as infinite in extent and duration, we are limited to an infinitely small portion of the world, quantum granularity notwithstanding. Chains and networks are outgrowths; everything is natural about them, nothing is natural about them. What extends, might do so with and without nodes, surfaces, bearings, coordinates. One might prefer a world without any of these; their presence signifies birth and decomposition, and unimaginable attendant cruelties. There may be no originary object, no (0)-> and no finality, -> (1) ; there may be slurry at best. This is the poetics of form, its poesis, which refuses any mathematico-physical reduction, no matter the reality. Poesis is us-ness. The chain is a walkthrough; the network is a walkabout. Note the difference. The network is full of contradiction; the chain exists as [x-1][x][x+1] or some such, in other words a well- ordering; the network might be, for all one knows, a continuum of infinite dimension, a collocation of surreal or other untoward or wayward numbers, anything but _that_ which tends towards calculation, the abacus, the clear movement of a bead from one place to another. A network might have no place at all, neither this nor that, neither one nor another. There might be sheaves, layers, monstrous topologies, foams, percolations. There might be something only visible from the outset or the outside, or something invisible from every conceivable vantage-point. There may be no conceivable vantage-points. I remember writing the notion of the _anorectic airliner,_ the motion of air in air, the introverted and intense turbulence, perhaps without temperature gradients whatsoever, that remains inherently invisible. Or caught with one or another Schlieren optics. Or not caught at all. Or caught always already past, passed. The network channels movement, or movement defines the channels of the network; the channels may have fixed walls, or none whatsoever; there may be sloughs and surges and slurries, for example. The channel/carrying capacity/information model holds in a miniscule number of models with proper potential wells; at the same time it dominates all our thinking in a revolutionary way reminiscent of the discovery of the wheel, the printing press, electricity. The revolution might well lie otherwise, elsewhere, elsewhen, however; it might lie in those glimpses of inconceivable networks that pervade us and our objects, pervade organisms and boundaries, problematize aristotelian logics, dissolve into dissolution or the abject upon or within our notice or momentary attention - or none or all of these. What might be of interest here is the idea of the _lifespan of the network_ - in other words, the temporality of what might or might not be noticed. As open-ended organisms we're bound and unbound there, within this temporality, within the very concept, not of measurement, but of objects or durations we find amenable. That brings us back to our problem, our temporality, our networks and their chains which bind them - as if they, the we within us, were the case or cases. No (0),(1), no beginnings and endings, (but) what might pass for a (momentary) glance, something of the nature of attention or of the economy of attention. We don't let sleeping dogs lie; we wake them, sometime or other in the morning, it's a humid day, it might be better or best to let them be. -- (be, being, open multi-dimensional sets on any interval; care, attention, absence) -- "A research ecologist with the Environmental Protection Agency in Narragansett, R.I., for the past 20 years, Hale recently finished compiling a master list of all the species ever recorded in the sediments of Narragansett Bay.

Most live in the top 10 centimeters of the bays sediments. The most abundant creatures recorded are varieties of polychaete worms, mollusks, and arthropods. But rare species make up most of the biodiversity, he said. Included among the rare variety were 395 singletons species found only once and 224 doubleton

[NetBehaviour] distributed networked intelligence
distributed networked intelligence Blue lobster in Bristol RI Audubon Society aquarium. I'm thinking about networked intelligence here, the relationship between complex articulations and overall systems behavior - and how we, as humans, tend to think of intelligence as located instead in a primary organ. Image: http://www.alansondheim.org/aud31.jpg blue lobster Video: https://youtu.be/vfALP-jPGm8 Image: http://www.alansondheim.org/aud33.jpg starfish tentacles Even systems ontologies break down; given that there is a consciousness at work here, that numerous limbs and joints need local and overall articulation, we have to admit, as so many already have, that we've got intelligence wrong, that distribution creates an economy of energy and localization that's absolutely brilliant, that results in different ways of thinking, even of life and death - consider the wood-net for example, or hive behavior; think of slime-molds or the dominating micro-biomes of the human body, in fact of almost every larger organism. Move not to the grid, but to transport topologies; our singular 'I' (ipod, ipad, my--) is fundamentally diffused, and what brilliance lies there, if one only has the patience to _look._ This lobster is a case in point; arms and feeding mechanisms interlock, as if they were communities them- selves. They're not, of course; there simply may not be the Barthian _punctum_ we insist on, from the vanishing-point inherent in three-dimensional visual triangulation, to Weyl's ego-location at the origin of the Cartesian graph. Move from geometry and manifolds to rubber-sheet topologies without ontology - pure epistemologies - and then think of this in relationship, first, to the rigidity of digital protocols, and, second, to the flexibility of digital protocols, which require neither realm nor location; so much hacking, for example, is fundamentally anonymous - all that seems to exist are the networks and their dynamics. Forget our heads and brains, look without looking at the flexible and networked habitus that constitutes our very existence on the planet; if we do so we might comprehend a bit more of the intelligence around us. (One might argue that what occurs might only be a simulacrum of intelligence, certainly not of consciousness. I err on the side of consciousness. We had, for close to a year, a fresh-water crayfish in a tank with fish and plants; we observed it (sex indeterminate) for a year, and it seemed clear to us that it was capable of recognition (it could tell us apart), trans-species relationships (with one fish in particular, with us as well), learning and meta-learning in Bateson's sense (based on climbing behavior), and so forth. Recognition was mutual recognition, that much was clear; whether or not the crayfish thought us worthy of consciousness seemed almost beside the point.) - - - In case you've missed the music (we have a holiday here in the States), the new songs are at http://www.alansondheim.org/yearning1.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/yearning2.mp3 and http://www.alansondheim.org/cccafe.mp3 version 1 http://www.alansondheim.org/cccafe2.mp3 version 2 The lyrics are in http://www.alansondheim.org/ux.txt Thanks for listening. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Re: [NetBehaviour] Maecenas
I noticed this - "Maecenas touts itself as a blockchain platform that, according to its creators, will democratise access to fine art. For the first time, the Maecenas website enthuses, technology will allow investors, collectors and owners to exchange shares in paintings and sculptures instantly, akin to the way stocks of a company are traded today." This does NOT democratise access to art; it's nothing more than a secure way to protect and exchange's one investment - which plays into the notion of enclaving described in Mike Davis' City of Quartz (think it was written in the 80s). Art has to RESIST enclaving, unless one accepts useless decoration and connoisseurship as the only form of art worth considering. One of the amazing things about Furtherfield is, at least as far as I can tell, it itself is a form of resistance!

On October 4, 1957, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. The satellite, an 85-kilogram (187-pound) metal sphere the size of a basketball, was launched on a huge rocket and orbited Earth at 29,000 kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour) for three months. When it finally fell out of orbit in January 1958, Sputnik had traveled 70 million kilometers (43.5 million miles) around the planet. The only cargo onboard Sputnik was a low-power radio transmitter, which broadcast a beeping noise at regular intervals. This beeping could be heard by radio listeners around the world. A year after the launch of Sputnik, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), formally launching the "Space Race" between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Re: [NetBehaviour] I hate blockchain plantoids by O’Khaos - that's probably why they are great
It depends, doesn't it, on what is meant by 'infallible'? They're corruptible in terms of value and in terms of use; it's the old use/exchange value conundrums here. They're corruptible because they're not ideal; a prime number isn't corruptible, but protocols are. What if a "distortive intervention" comes in the form of nuclear war? You're postulating an ideality somewhere between engineering and Godel's neo-platonism I think and I'm not sure that position would hold. These models exist in a real world of interactions after all. How are we freed from deceit and usury when blockchains are used for ransomware payments? There's a difference as well between the "meant to" in terms of usage of blockchain, and the reality? The anthropocene desert you describe is brutal in my opinion, allied to Kristeva's clean and proper body; without ecosystems in depth, without the dirt of the world, the cleansed future (or so I read it) frightens. Did you mean Labanotation? That's a good example; the interstice between Labanotation and the real/grit world of dance is fascinating, amazing! I'm the first to admit here I don't really know what I'm talking about since the details of blockchain elude me, as do the claims made for it. That side, I've been reading what I can; I just don't hold to the utopian vision that seems to accompany it.

We are already homeostats in socioeconomic networks whose restrictions we notice about as much as a fish notices water. Code at least makes this explicit. Plantoid is a way of paying for the creation and exhibition of art - a difficult and worthwhile problem - in a creative way. If it is too successful it will end up as the economic-aesthetic equivalent of grey goo. The anthropocene desert will be filled not with triffids but with plantoids and the artisans hired by their code to create their offspring. Maybe these offspring will mutate into relational artworks that choreograph decorative humanity into their schemes, multitudes that dance and sway in time to Lananotation representations of block hashes while wishing that they hadn't opposed UBI quite so vehemently.

'Being made of code and rules is not the same as having a soul... Plantoid seems to be conservative, reinforcing the characteristics it started with...' There's a real sense of claustrophobia and frustration about some of the Blockchain-based artworks, unquestionably brilliant though they are, in that although they seem to be offering a commentary on the shortcomings and limitations of the Blockchain, they seem at the same time to be binding us to those shortcomings and limitations, freezing us into that world, suggesting that we are all going to be subject to this new version of reality and unable to escape from it. Yes, this stuff is creeping into every aspect of our culture. Yes, we are all going to be touched by it and influenced by it, directed by it, shaped by it, just as we are by capitalism, mass marketing and mass media. But no, it doesn't define us or completely contain us. We can still be human in spite of it. At least I hope we can: and I hope that along with Blockchain art and the like, we can still have an art that celebrates and explores the bits of existence that the Blockchain and the like can't comprehend.

[NetBehaviour] Letter From The Residents
(trying forward) -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 11:09:01 From: Eyebeam Reply-To: us4-6d5ea5d296-0b74c3d...@conversation01.mailchimpapp.com To: Alan Subject: Letter From The Residents resource for teachers | library of collaborative methods | by Eyebeam residents Caroline Woolard and Or Zubalsky A collaborative letter from the residents Re: September Unsubscribe Resource for Teachers | Library Of Collaborative Methods Dear teachers and students of collaboration, As residents at Eyebeam, Or Zubalsky and I have been developing an open access library of collaborative methods. With support from the New York Foundation for the Arts, today we are launching The Study Center for Group Work.  We hope that teachers, art spaces, collectives, worker-owned businesses, art classes, and working-groups will use this online library of collaborative methods that have been recommended by artists. These methods often embrace the unknown, encouraging people to listen deeply enough to be transformed. We invite you to learn about collaborative methods, to access teaching resources, and to see the schedule for upcoming events and jobs related to collaboration.  For example, here are some methods for: * group functioning (Asset Mapping) (Diagram Hacking) * decision-making (Voting and Ranking) * role clarification (Threeing) (Questions for Schematic Theater) * healing and care (Support) * shared leadership (Leadership Compass) * communication (Intergroup Dialog)  (A Field Guide to Spatial Intimacy) (Hand Signals) * conflict resolution (Shark, Owl, Turtle, Teddy Bear, Fox) * reflection (Three-Line Matrix) (Group Self-Assessment) * analysis of images and systems (Project 404) (Mirror/Echo/Tilt) * and speculative futures (Objects as Fictions, The Alternative Unknowns)  The artists who have contributed to this resource include: Leonard Nalencz, Shaun Leonardo, Robert Sember of Ultra-red, Project 404, Sick Time with Canaries, Judith Leemann, Kenneth Bailey and the Design Studio for Social Intervention, the Extrapolation Factory, taisha paggett and Ashley Hunt, Jean Gardner and the estate of Paul Ryan, Asha Iman Veal Brisebois and Adelheid Mers, Christopher Robbins, Aaron Landsman, Cori Olinghouse, Melanie Crean, and Chloe Bass, as well as curators Danielle Jackson, who facilitated a retreat for the group earlier this year, and Stamatina Gregory, who curated an exhibition at Cooper Union in 2016 that led to this site. You can see a video of that, here.  If most people have no experience of democracy at work, at home, in school, or online, how can we learn to collaborate? How do we develop a musculature of shared decision making and of shared work?  A few years ago, we began to notice that many visual artists had developed methods of listening and group work. Yet they did not have a way to share their work with one another or with the public. Just as dancers take classes throughout their lives, more and more visual artists are committed to group work through daily practice. We ran a pilot program that took the form of an exhibition called WOUND: The Study Center for Group Work, curated by Stamatina Gregory, at Cooper Union in 2016-2017. The Center was written up in The New York Times, Art in America, and Artforum; we knew it needed to continue. We are excited to share this online library of collaborative methods, and to announce that we will be working with Spaceworks at the New York Public Library to provide trainings throughout the year.  Here is an upcoming workshop you can attend:  Saturday, September 30, 5:00PM  How can we support ourselves and each other? This workshop looks at the ways in which we meet our needs for wellbeing in order to dream, practice, and work on any project. Support extends beyond the life of our projects, often shaping the ways in which we navigate the contradictions of living and working on independent projects. Join us for a ?brain massage? and mutual connection. 3-5pm at Spaceworks @ Williamsburgh Library, 240 Division Ave, Fl 2 Brooklyn, NY RSVP  If democracy is an endless conversation, then The Study Center for Group Work aims to cultivate behaviors that allow groups to work together. To get in touch with us, or suggest a collaborative method, please email us at i...@woundstudycenter.com.

[NetBehaviour] On and for Chris Kraus, After Kathy Acker, Semiotext(e), 2017
On and for Chris Kraus, After Kathy Acker, Semiotext(e), 2017 https://www.amazon.com/After-Kathy-Semiotext-Active-Agents/dp/1635900069 (or any other less monopolistic site) 1. I've just finished reading After Kathy Acker; consider this a review by a problematic and early participant in Kathy's Life. I knew her for the short time before and after we made the Blue Tape (and another tape, now lost); we continued to speak on the 3am 4am phone after that, when everyone else seemed asleep, a world of intensity and energy without the noise and too bright lights. At least at that point. I'm hazy on the dates here. 1a. New York was energy. 2. After Kathy Acker tunnels through one of the most complex lives you might encounter; it's thick with reminiscence as well as selections from her notebooks, letters, novels, essays, remembered conversations. What strikes me most is how "true" the book is, (if one can say that); I have a deconstructive turn, but the narrative and description brings so much to mind, foregrounds so much that I lived through in other contexts (Acconci for example) that I find myself literally overwhelmed, returned to the 1970s downtown that I knew. The Blue Tape hadn't been shown in years; Tony Conrad transferred it to digital (I never received the original back); and now that haunts me as well by way of Kraus' text - the grit or dirt for example that Anna Maria Pinaka speaks of is re/presented (and without accompanying photographs of Kathy, everything swirls through and around the text.) 2a. (I almost didn't make it through that period by the way.) 3. The book is analogic, in spite of Kathy's later use of digital media; what occurred happened in a real time of phone calls, mail, personal encounters, at best an answering machine. But - and this is really important, I think - it's all about networking, interconnections, coagulations, dissipations, strange attractors (in both senses of the phrase); it's hardly modernism with modernism's clean and proper body, modernism's white room - instead there's a sense of abrasion, dust, sex, dirtiness, tenderness through it - and above all a sense of an obdurate Kathy, someone unconfined (except by herself), someone moving through spaces (I think of WAN, wide-area-networking) - 3a. It's as if things _spread,_ presaging the digital, an electric-electronic writing born around the time of the Net, taking a different route. 4. And it's this that makes the book essential now - an account opening up a literature that problematizes theorizing, problematizes the body, style, the sentence, the ground, subtext or superstructure. It's necessary that categories, walls, come down now - that we might discover there are other paths through sememes already inundated by corporate hubris - other paths in fact which, through the somatic, bypass those sememes altogether. The result might be writing which falters, which teeters on the brink of failure, which infinitely expands, feels trivial, feels like the most important writing in the world. And Chris Kraus details all of this absolutely brilliantly; the book - and just as importantly, Kathy's writings - all this should be on our shelves, now, in the midst of incipient tyranny and the desecration of what used to be thought of as American democracy. Kathy's work isn't outdated; if anything, it's revolutionary and timely, as is After Kathy Acker; check them out. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[L. pelagicus.] Of or pertaining to the ocean; -- applied especially to animals that live at the surface of the ocean, away from the coast. sound philosophy: a quirk, i do philosophy - somatic, structural, mathematico- logical, in the form of sound. does this protect me against contradiction? can sound contradict sound? certainly the semantic structure of written language is inconceivably more complex; then sound perhaps illustrates what can't be said, varieties of the ineffable. because of age, i plan ahead, carefully, no farther than the shore. because of isolation, the shore is private as well; what i do may be my business, but none will know for sure. in a few years perhaps my fingers might lose the extraordinary degree of suppleness they appear to have, my hearing might be accompanied by waves of tinnitus, virtual cricketeering. i'll play the insect world, i'll walk to the tuning bench where a sarangi lies, everything foreign to me. isolation is bizarre; it increases paranoia and suspicion, makes one unpalatable in the long run. the last time we were invited to dinner? i can't remember. the last time i performed at a local club? maybe eight months ago; the last time i was invited to talk local, over two years ago. an outpouring of begging letters on my part makes me a nuisance, nothing more. online at least i remain both invisible and visible, viable one way or another. i disappear into the sound of an instrument; it's not that a world opens up, but everything else disappears - phrases and intervals take over, become obelisks in a different form of landscape. i record what i play; i discover what i play upon re-play, listening, ludic correspondence to ingratuitous and silent forms. and i live in the midst of dynamics that displace my figure, body and mind, i am hordes among hordes, i horde; our bodies are standing-waves of the molecular and quantum, appearances of structures on the way toward subsummation. the sound, music, dies out faster; for a moment i have the pleasure of an instrument, and the instrument exists momentarily, as an instrument with all the potential that accompanies it. i see myself as networked, networking, interconnected; my mind collapses against the sight, which it procures. my mind lives in cessation; i teeter. it's a slow fall, but a fall nonetheless. no things, but in dynamics; no bandwidth is wide enough to admit the world, narrow enough to observe chimera. the world as far as one is concerned, as far as there is concern, is in error - as far as error is concerned, as long as there is world. any state of affairs embodies, not only its own negation, but also its own dissolution. network protocols are undermined from beneath, are transformed, are error-prone, disappear with the disappearance of channels and communities, interrupted by a telephone call from out- of-state, which i take to discuss other networked media; the gist is clear, from the collapse and focusing of consciousness via-a- vis the screen, to the appearance of structure in the sense of a unique object which splits, 0*x = 0; 1*x = x; 0+x = x; 1+x takes us away from all of this, the diacritical mark or signifier tending elsewhere, the shaky construction of uncountable and unaccounted-for culture and whatever else we might notice in the world. what we notice is the world noticing and neither or nor the world (and we are the world etc. etc.) notice anything but circumscription, circumlocution; wherever 1+x goes is nameless, and if not now, then when; if not here, then where; and who among the who of us? questions of epistemology and ontology are always flatlined unless circumscribed, and then what breaks out and where, and again among whom? not nihilism but dynamics all the way up and down, mobile structures for category theorists. and then some. late at night in think of failures, what might have been, email i should have written, email i should not have written, words and actions i would rescind, opportunities which never materialized, the inconceivability of remaining alive as whatever will be left of me begins to deteriorate. the slurry of the world is churned; call that the chora. we descend; our consciousness, abject and impoverished, holds on until the last moment. our president taunts others, tempting everyone to nuclear annihilation; we're already past that, however - we've been there, done that, and what remains on the other side of the wall, where the blankness of fascism has erected another tawdry structure, is nothing but flows and damage. === < a quirk, i do philosophy - somatic, structural, mathematico- --- a quirk, i do philosophy - somatic, structural, methamatico- < network protocols are undermined from beneath, are transformed, --- netework protocols are undermined from beneath, are transformed, < gist is clear, from the collapse and focusing of consciousness --- j

[NetBehaviour] Slide and Preciousness of Description
Slide and Preciousness of Description http://www.alansondheim.org/slide.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/slide.mp4 Cars in parking lot, swaying camera, foreground shifts, just a couple of times, sloppy conceptualism. It's poorly done. It reminds me of when you cum hard and develop that headache on the right side of the brain and it's hard to focus. But the cars get away from that, away from what happens when you're climbing stairs fast and that ringing in your ears blocks everything you might hear normally, the ground sways from under you, your eyes recede and everything's moving around. That's an issue in this fake affine geometry as if there were a stable world outside the window, one in which the cars behave as if they were clean and proper, and everyone obeyed the law. What's here when it shifts seems to be the same as what's there; the window frames (there are no secrets here) frame the parking lot, 'you lot of cars,' more or less a momentary arrangement on a plateau on this particular planet. The clean and proper body (Kristeva) ex-tends into the technological, car and camera machinery, and what you yourself witness here, the presence of the screen, that fixation which sutures over everything, body and chora and phenomenon as well. So one, myself, shifts perhaps four meters to the left or right, depending on the vector, carrying what in film theory might be considered an apparatus, holding the frame, creating this video on the run or slow walk. The clouds are from Hurricane Irma, exhausted remnants; they create a pall (" To become vapid, tasteless, dull, or insipid; to lose strength, life, spirit, or taste; as, the liquor palls.") over the scene, which transforms into the murmur of nostalgia just beneath the surface of the pavement where the cars reside. Everything of a size reminiscent of the living resides within these spaces and movements; so much is forgotten, eliminated, literally and quietly banned to the dustbin of history. So the flat plane of the world veers and whirls, in and out of focus; there are moments of ecstasy here that dissolve like ink in water, water in ice, ice in glass, glass in quartz and diamond.

I stood at the top, shooting towards oncoming traffic, using the zoom to keep the approaching cars the same visual size (i.e. the same subtended angle) as long as possible. The result is a film in which the cars appear stationary while the landscape recedes. Now in this brief maquette, I walked down a sidewalk, zooming in; I then turned around and continued walking backwards, zooming out. The result of all of this is the appearance of speeding up and slowing down, yet another optical illusion. Think of this as a maquette for Godardioni Antonard, an unparalleled filmmaker whose filmstills are above as well. oldtimeconceptualism No views 0 0 Share asondheim Published on Sep 11, 2017 old time concept art, conceptualism, cpnceptualism art 0 Comments Sort by ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Re: [NetBehaviour] plane depth in the furious light of the leader's bomb
The issue of the memorials for me isn't the point - as much as there are, as far as I know, no memorials to the slaves, what they went through. I don't know how any of this can be reconciled; there's also the Vietnam War memorial wall, and no wall for the Vietnamese who died (I think someone worked on this?) I don't think there will be any healing in the South as long as these symbolic artifacts and their displacement, destruction, etc. are the focus of attention. The real issues, the divisions in the South and in America in general, are enormous. Where are the monuments to the underground railroad, to what the slaves accomplished?

In this context, I shall repeat what I proposed yesterday, that the war is not over; when one looks at the Korean War in the early 1950s, it is believed that more than 4.5 million Koreans died, and many cities were nearly entirely destroyed. Napalm was used by US and UN military forces that fought back the North Korean invasion of the South, and the cold war there (China also becoming involved) seems not to have ended in any solution to the crisis, and Korea remains a divided land. are these further strata? and are we witnessing "furious the leaders square off in their squares"?

[NetBehaviour] USER
USER http://www.alansondheim.org/mentis.png More on addiction/users - around 1995; the other material is at http://www.alansondheim.org/subjectnet.txt . "Clara" is an emanent (online emanation, avatar semiosis), I wrote to/through/ under. USER.TXT If the user is an addict, Clara. A user *is* an addict; one who uses on a constant basis is a user. Or so it seems to me. But addiction - that's something else. Or in order to define - Addiction by means of the withdrawal at the other end or in the midst of the thing. So that withdrawal - a particular symptomology perhaps - might be the key to it. And beyond withdrawal - It would be a doubling, a +/- - withdrawal, which is an absence, but an absence always already conditioned by a presence, of the drug itself. By drug - meaning only *that substance* which is the root- directory of the addiction - not even substance, but *entity* - and by *entity* - it extends further - one includes patterns of behavior, whole cultures - pathways through a universal discourse - But it always refers back to the *thatness* of the entity - just as science is *that which* is ideologically problematic in relation, say, to religion or magic, sympathetic or otherwise - Or the articulation, say of *painting* by *paint* - there are a lot of examples - the movement of the Tonya-Harding-blade upon the ice - which it seems to me is a case of obsession or devouring - so that in all these instances, there is an introjection of a discrete other, an identified other - coupled with a particular symptomology of withdrawal - The addict circumscribes the *entity* - an inscription which also binds or writes the coagulation of the ego - a form of scar-tissue. Now what about the screen? Doesn't the screen always refer back to or upon itself, a referral implicating the user - the two of them caught in an inextricable matrix? One has to consider first of all the *inner voice* occasioned by the screen - the screen is the internal speaking-of-words, not a legible exteriority. The screen is also non-linear in a deep sense - the scrolling and insertion of files, deletions, the presence of graphic affect - all point to a cranial articulation. The screen itself is always this interiority; the user's body is bound to it. Note that it speaks in a whisper - which is why flaming is so problematic, since it contradicts inner speech, insisting on an other that literally shouts to be heard. So that it is more than argument; it appears to be an *ontological shift* in language's construct, which is difficult to absorb. I FLAME: THEREFORE I AM. See how the typography itself carries the philosophical argument, which is no longer an argument, but the appearance of the Other. But the appearance of the Other *is* the argument; there would be no argument otherwise. To argue Other-wise is already to bracket the signifier, each and every signifier, by a problematic transcendence; I don't buy this - I return to the leakiness and obdurate quality (similar to but not equated with Kripke's rigid designators) of every signifier - the signifier as *this* signifier tenuously embedded in the imaginary, always unaccountable - and always *unaccounted-for.* It is this last - that I cannot account *for* the signifier - that intensifies the discussion. For to account *for* the signifier, *this* signifier, is to take responsibility *for* it - as well as, within an/other derivation, to construe its *origin.* Thus I may account *for* my eyeglasses by (virtue of) my weak eyesight, which I may account *for* perhaps by heredity (or not): This constructs a complete epistemology of eyeglasses in terms of originary trace. The other that releases itself in flaming is an *incontrovertible argument* or no *argument* at all, just as this discussion is the result of a doubling or its presence. In addiction the *other* is the *same* because it is bound within and without the coagulation of the ego; the absorption of the *other* is always troubling. Why? Because the other is absorbed solely on the basis of its use- function, and the use-function is *a priori* reductive; the leakiness is constrained. The presence and absence of the entity are channeled *through* the use function; at the same time, the entity becomes a clouded ontological (the being of the body / being of beings) and epistemological (the horizon of the body / the horizon) arena, which is - ultimately - an arena of contestation. Why? Because it is through and against the entity that procurement occurs, for addiction is always a situation of procurement (continuous or otherwise). Procurement sets the addict at odds with the other, with each and every other from *entity* to (other) addict; procurement also construes community with the other from *entity* to (other) addict. With computer communications becoming more and more zero-loss ecologically, with the networking transforming from skein to membrane, with resolution moving from low to high, the potential exists for the first

Thank you for this indeed. I think it's strata, now there is Irma and the Atlanta/Caribbean/Florida; I fear this more. In 1972 Hurricane Agnes brought misery to my hometown/parents, I was in Halifax at the time. The Susquehanna rose from 1 meter to more than 13 meters overnight; Wyoming Valley in PA. was flooded, to great depths, houses and businesses in parts completely submerged. In Houston at least unlike Rockport, it seems a question of 1st floor flooding, there's something left maybe to build on? Florida is frightening, we were there after Andrew and saw the results of Andrew's devastation, far worse w/ the winds, and now this. But the strata is always there; Wyoming V. has been hit with 90 floods since 1780 or so - and people keep rebuilding in the same spot.

[NetBehaviour] 2 pieces: Internet addiction and tenor recorder solo body and soul
2 pieces: Internet addiction and tenor recorder solo body and soul 1. Internet addiction http://www.alansondheim.org/awkword4.jpg In relation to the current amazing writing and art dealing with internet subjectivity and addiction, I offer an early 'essay' from, I think, 1994-5, dealing with the same. I've been re-reading it and it seems prescient. Check it out at http://www.alansondheim.org/subjectnet.txt In the early net*.txt tests at http://www.alansondheim.org , this material is further developed in a number of pieces; it's still useful and probably some of my best theoretical work to date. 2. annihilation of body and spirit but not harmony and sound http://www.alansondheim.org/awkword2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/tenorrecorder.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/tenor.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/awkword3.jpg i realize my work's no longer relevant, my arms and legs still move, my fingers as well, not too much searching, but no access to tech returns me to the despair of breath; no access to tech returns to breath's despair, that's it, summation in a dreary kingdom. i can only revive the solo of virtual worlds for so long; realized recently that online is my only communality - what goes on here doesn't translate into offline collaboration. my body's falling apart, isn't everyone's. but with some breath i can do a solo and with some typing, bits of useless theory. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
[NetBehaviour] Violence of Nightmare Thought
Violence of Nightmare Thought http://www.alansondheim.org/pvd10.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/pvd12.jpg more than anything I do wish for nuclear annihilation, this rampant species collapsed like a broken juggurnaut on a plain or mountain, on a boat or at the bottom of the sea. I'm sick of it, this half-life we live beneath other more elemental half-lives; I'm sick of the debris the species leaves everywhere - beyond its own meager journeys - there at the bottom, or among the ions where stratospheric trash makes the slightest journey impossibly hazardous. our leaders are defined as leaders simply because they have command of thermonuclear power; they walk and talk like the rest of us; it's the leverage that's different. and the insanity of their every movement, every word uttered as acidic drool. it makes me and everyone I know sick. let annihilation come quickly, and without a doubt, doubtless, and nothing at that point, therefore, will ever be the same. in any case, people are already dying like flies, fleeing one or another country, people are already doing inconceivably ugly acts to one another. they'll bring everything into play, plants and animals, all the new orders we've discovered, just to bring them to a halt. it's time to stop pretending. the world curdles with overpopulation, rampant militarism, the ugly enclaved rich, global heat, melting ice, atmospheric and water-born poisons; what's left in the trash is slow death, infinite pain and fear, the future feature of annihilation to the limit. better to punctuate this quickly, bring our so-called leaders down to the size of the rest of us; nuclear annihilation cuts through the fanciest resorts, reduces all of us to ash. sooner or later something will replace the world as we know it, another world, not out of the ashes, but out of plastic sludge and heated basins, potential wells, of continued nuclear fury. this is the fundamental chemistry of the world: cultures as catalysts for annihilation, self-destruction using up our momentary resources. our oils will be their oils, will be us. we can't stand it any more, we refuse to accept life lived under such conditions of depression and anxiety that we might as well be dead. to act on this, on the 'might as well,' is to be at least honest, to turn brutally and bravely towards the cessation of pain - in other words, to annihilate ourselves from the inside out, saving what's left of the ravaged world for others perhaps not so sentient, perhaps nothing more than diacritical remarkings on our own species which is busy dooming all the others. why resist our so-called 'president' or thug in charge of nothing more than four-thousand nuclear warheads. or more? why concern ourselves with global warming which is non-existent, surely creating non-existent flooding, 1/3 of Bangladesh under water. I'm utterly sick of water, the basis of life, but slowly choking us and every other living thing to death. better have it once and for all. our so-called 'leader' or thug of dprk, in charge of a few dozen nuclear warheads, has the right idea, the juche idea, the idea/l of the leader, of the rampant dissolution of the planet such as it is - the right idea, the cessation of the world as we or anyone else might know it - the annihilation which is almost tantric in effect, nuclear chakras at war with one another, collapse of enormous forces into enormous forces, inconceivable pressures and temperatures, inconceivable speed - and then the long slow radioactive inadaptations cleansing out the rest of the brutality - which for too long has been one- to-one - knives and guns, bombs, mace, acid, burning alive, crucifixions, beheadings - it's all there, already a dead and exhausted litany, a poor excuse for a news story - battles everywhere, water drying up in one place, flooding in another - we keep building on flood plains, killing every vulnerable (and not-so-vulnerable) ecosystem in sight - it's time to end the charade, which has never been a charade I maintain, ways of life and death, forms of habitus, corrals, stockades. too much misery for too long, too much death, and all of us are cowards yammering against suicide, talking about the preciousness of life, and at the same time treating life as the trash it obviously is. we have nothing to lose, I say bring it on, bring it in, bring it up, bring the whole thing down. I say clearly there's no end time except what we make of it all. I say let accelerationism grind us into dust and stop the rhetoric. I say we have nothing to gain staying here at the site of the crash which will continue - unless we annihilate the crash itself. and that takes fission, fusion, not even much imagination. and if we were around we'd be grateful for it. we should hope beyond hope our Leaders do the right thing - With All the Means at Their Disposal - nothing more than a few buttons pushed, perhaps a phone-call, last words uttered here, Hello. +++ < mountain, on a boat or at the bottom of

numbers stations revisited / new format <=the ultimate unbreakable network=> "INTERMITTING A low, tremulous, intermitting sound, though it seems in some respects opposite to that just mentioned, is productive of the sublime. It is worth while to examine this a little. The fact itself must be determined by every man's own experience, and reflection. I have already observed, that night increases our terror more perhaps than any thing else; it is our nature, that, when we do not know what may happen to us, to fear the worst that can happen us: and hence it is, that uncertainty is so terrible, that we often seek to be rid of it, at the hazard of a certain mischief. Now some low, confused, certain sounds, leave us in the same fearful anxiety concerning their causes, that no light, or a uncertain light does concerning the objects that surround us. [...] But a light now appearing, and now leaving us, and so off and on, is even more terrible than total darkness; and a sort of uncertain sounds are, when the necessary dispositions concur, more alarming than a total silence."

The saz came with a case and extra set of strings (which I needed), and cost $15. I've been playing it; here are three pieces, somewhat influenced by classical guitar and lute music. newsaz3 starts off clumsily but moves into allegrissimo runs about halfway through. newsaz1 and newsaz2 work from simple tunes but clumsily (deliberately) absorb other intervals where minors are expected.

Forget convincing others. Filter bubbles by share-chains breaking away from ideological closed manifolds, social media as porous. Skitter across ideological surfaces, no debates among debates; unions and intersections, commonalities. Consider filters as fundamental ( http://www.alansondheim.org/filtering.txt ) - not only as bubble creation, but as porosities (via Hegel) and the dynamics of entities, as accompaniments, as scaled and unscaled. Walkaway, walkabout, hack and counterhack. Keep your goals; ignore the enemy; hyperconnect; operate Withdraw from useless dialog; instead draw toward DIWO that's efficacious and networked; allow the chain to proceed farther from you than your degree of comfort; release. Endless analysis is just that, ideologically suspect, hardened, continuous, crashland circuitries. Embrace elsewhere. Embrace that negativity you carve and crave; connect to nodes; harbor contradiction; harbor fear; scale; vote; forget your cause; mine the negative; deeper; vote; get your hands dirty; get your hands clean. Learn the alt-right taz dance; learn silence; DIWO; always already be covert; learn to listen*; learn to ignore; be changed; change the world; channel it; chain it. *"My own feeling is that humans aren't programmed to 'really listen' to one another - we're programmed instead to survive.

the BIG AMERICAN guitar * http://www.alansondheim.org/twodaysago.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/bigamerican.mp3 *made in Indonesia with the big american steel strings; I have troubles playing this instrument (owned by Azure's father); I'm for quick playing, light touch, but here, my hands give out and the music is strange and kind of wonderful, never mind the nails are the worst for it. these guitars are louder than the nylon/ nylgut/gut-stringed instruments; they don't have the twang of course, that slow dying-out sound of the prairie wind for example. they resonate with the hollows of thunder in the canyons; they're a message of arrival and departure, the sound of the iron steel train on the iron steel tracks, the Whitman; at Dickinson's brother's house, there was a 19th-century gut- string banjo on the fireplace mantle, nothing like this (but she might have played both today, or none at all, or did she then?); here is the sound of delicate fingers and their exercising, the frustration of wanting to do with the strings what others might do, of the daytime nighttime bigamerican guitar, irresolute in my hands, I wanted this ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

He has worked with his partner, Azure Carter and the musician-composer- programmer Luke Damrosch. Sondheim is interested in examining the grounds of the virtual and how the body is inhabited. He performs in virtual, real, and cross-over worlds; his virtual work is known for its highly complex and mobile architectures. He has used altered motion-capture technology extensively for examining and creating new lexicons of behavior. His current work is centered around notions of gamespace, 'edgespace' (the border areas of gamespace) and 'blankness,' projections around edgespace. His current music is based on the impossibility of time reversal, on fast improvisation, and anti-gestural approaches to playing. His most recent work is this short biography. = ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Sarangi exercise, practice http://www.alansondheim.org/exercise1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/exercise.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/exercise3.jpg reading Ways of the Hand, The Organization of Improvised Conduct, by David Sudnow, endlessly detailing the somatic aspects of his piano playing - the sarangi presenting its own problems, but I thought it might be interesting to show an example of practice, flaws and all. this practice is particularly difficult; I'm working one way or another through three octaves on the high string, both harmonics and straight-forward fingering. all the errors and squeaks come through, as does the physicality. (I should make it clear, if it's not from the improvisation itself, that I'm not trying to play classical sarangi in way way; on the other hand, it's important to learn the fingering.) enjoy, cover your ears, gasp. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] Sachems' (Chiefs') Marks from Early Rhode Island
Sachems' (Chiefs') Marks from Early Rhode Island http://www.alansondheim.org/rw05.jpg I've photographed these marks directly from Fone's Record, 1660; they are Native American signatures on early documents around the time of Rhode Island's founding. They constitute another layer of identification, largely but not entirely, between the Narragansett and the colonists. Roger Williams is prominent here, as are two Sachems who were his friends. Williams is also known for his code used in scriptural notes; this was recently decrypted. The marks are part of American history, touching on code and codework. I'm grateful to Rhode Island State Archives for permitting me to photograph the signatures. No flash was used and the camera was hand-held. There is additional material in the images, including drawn wax seals, Williams' signature on the charter of Providence, etc. https://www.flickr.com/photos/149167406@N08/ ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
