[NetBehaviour] URBAN ORGANICS WORKSHOP

2009-04-29 Thread benjamin

Figuratively describing the country of Matrizenzubehoerleute…...
A N   U R B A NO R G A N I C S   W O R K S H O P

The city presents an unmapped, sparsely inhabited place,  
extravagantly rich in unexplored resources, waiting as it were for  
the arrival of someone to give form to the latent possibilities which  
lay beyond regular spatial comprehension.


The poet, wandering describes reflections on streetlife, overlaid by  
the desire to develop typographies and document of human life.  The  
civilian traveler as they traverse the urban terrain, passing amongst  
concrete corridors of the imagination remakes the city through  
forming their own reflective typographies. Looking then at our  
perception of city scenes and urban space as a hybrid of different  
forms, Figuratively describing the country of Matrizenzubehoerleute…. 
(ma-tritsen.tzu-behuer.loyter) provides participants with a tool-kit  
which will allow them to trace and unveil the creative potential of  
their every day surroundings through a series of collaborative  
exercises. The group will undertake explorations of the space  
surrounding the DIY Art Centre, observe and reproduce behavioral  
patterns and begin to develop the basis of a new language through  
archetypal typography.


The workshop will provide an introduction to techniques which empower  
the participants to further understand how we interact with our  
surroundings. The group will explore the urban spaces surrounding the  
Art Centre along a perimeter between two lands drawn from places  
which belong neither to the ordinary, nor the Other, but which are  
imbued with a presence of both; just as the sky can be seen to fall  
down towards the sea.

[NetBehaviour] not for profit organisation - draft

2009-02-12 Thread benjamin
Developing programs of performance, visual, interactive and media  
arts for a range of venues, one discovers a wide range of different  
organisational praxis. The most confusing of which has to be a  
concept introduced to me last night. we have a strict not-for profit  
policy and insist that all shows provide free drinks.

Working with a group of 20 creative professionals, most of which have  
studied their undergraduate and masters degrees in England, if not  
then at least their masters. They have made investments in equipment,  
having invested time in development. What is the value here?

The average debt from an undergraduate degree in England is in  
between £7 and £16,000. Now a masters degree costs upwards of £4,500  
- the money for living that year at least £3,000. Taking an average  
11,500 x 20 = 230,000. 6,000 x 6 = 36,000. Equipment owned by the  
creative practitioners @ approx. 2,000. Other investments in the  
program this far = £300.

The total in cost so far, towards being able to stage an credited,  
capable show by purpose trained professionals: £268,300. I feel that  
we must indeed be a not for profit (or incapable of profit)  
organisation, unless the value of art has changed dramatically  
overnight. I just want to help artists pay their bills.

 Just a suggestion that would help me navigating around  
 furtherfield.org.

 Where you have the swishyclever links to the articles on furtherfield
 which highlight the article details when mouse-hovering over them I
 can't right-click-open_in_new_tab and let various articles download
 while reading.

 It forces me to continually go back and forth between the index and

 Any chance you could provide standard a href links somewhere  
 within the

 Best regards,

The section that states “the potential of translocally networked  
spatial practices”

translocational potential of networked spacial practices ?

this strain raises an interesting opportunity to discuss the nature  
of mail groups. is this a space for announcements ? from my reading  
so far, net behaviour does not seem like an announcement list, rather  
an experiment. informal lists are vital threshing grounds for the  
development of ideas, but also for personal development within  
disciplines which an individual may be dislocated from, if even in an  
extreme level of profoundity.


making a comparison between blogging, website publication, online  
text archives and the group mailing list, it seems that the nature of  
the group mailing list is far better suited to development rather  
than announcement - it's just as easy to access a personal, creative,  
organisational or events website which - even if it is an undeveloped  
blog by means of aesthetic - holds an equal capacity to relay more  
refined publishable materials.



could have been more simply written, however it is clear in what it  
says – that the research is engaging
the potential of networked practices by practitioners who are  
interested in spaces that transcend the local (the way it was  
originally written was better). The next section, which states


“urban network processes, spaces of geocultural crises, and forms  
of cultural participation and self-determination” is equally clear.  
Urban network processes are events that occur in urban environments  
within the network infrastructures of which such environments are  
composed (communications and transport are examples). Geocultural  
crises are crises that are caused by geocultural issues. This is  
shorthand for the post-colonial politics around access to land  
based resources by different cultural groups (Gaza is an example  
here, as is Darfur). I do not see what the problem is with the sub- 
phrase “cultural participation and self-determination”. It seems  
clear as it seeks to conflate the individuation of self (the  
forging of self) with participation in social activities (that is,  
the self depends on others to come into being). Sites of  
“alternative urban engagement” simply refers to places where non- 
normalised social activities can be pursued and social groupings  
can form that facilitate those who do not conform to dominant  
social norms (eg: raves, biker cafes, hardcore clubs, etc). The  
last three words are, I agree, a little confusing. What is the  
object of the phrase “emerging architectural cultures”. Does this  
refer to cultures composed of architects or to cultures that are  
shaped by architecture? I would assume the latter, but the grammar  
employed here is, I agree, not very clear.


Overall the text is clear and in its linguistic form usefully  
suggests what its cultural origins are (left intellectual  
academic). The text as a whole clearly states that its concern is  
with who gains access to and rights of definition of social and  
economic infrastructure in culturally contested urban spaces and  
what the implications are for the communities and individuals  
involved.


Where is there a problem with that?

Simon,

Thanks for the translation, it's fortunate you're on the list!  
Don't you think the text, drafted in a language largely  
understandable by academics, is guilty of the very thing it claims  
to be researching? That is, how and why people are excluded from  
contested spaces?


If the text spoke in a more everyday, comprehensible language do  
you think it might invite wider engagement?


Language is power. Often to exclude or oppress, no?

 Infoscape is an online image generator, using web server log  
 files and
 background pictures to compose static images. Data extracted from log
 files, or from a database, are dripped onto the background picture,
 chosen by the user, in a way called ’statistic dripping’, as a  
 tribute
 to Jackson Pollock .

 In Statistic Dripping, the canvas is a picture selected on the  
 network
 by the painter. The painter is the user of the application. The  
 movement
 is the trace of website visitors displacements, treated by the  
 software.

 Furthermore, Infoscape works on JPEG compression level in order to
 transgress photography and reveal the intrinsic digital nature of the
 generated image. It confronts localized space evoked on pre-selected
 background picture and remote data included into these spaces, and  
 doing
 so, it is a conceptual tool to preconfigure and reflect upon  
 ubiquitous
 computing and the ability for every atom on earth to get an IP  
 address
 and a digital identity.

 P22 Music Text Composition Generator.

 The P22 Music Text Composition Generator allows any text to be  
 converted
 into a musical composition. This composition is displayed in musical
 notation and simultaneously generated as a midi file.

 The P22 Music Composition Font was proposed in 1997 to the John Cage
 Trust as an accompaniment to the John Cage text font based on the
 handwriting of the composer. The idea was basic and simple-every  
 letter
 of the alphabet was assigned to a note on a scale. This would allow  
 for
 any text to be converted into musical notation. The idea was  
 rejected by
 the John Cage Trust, however the John Cage Silence font based on his
 famous 4'33 composition was accepted and continues to be offered for
 sale to this day. An earlier project based on the work of Marcel  
 Duchamp
 was also influential in the evolution of this project. This page and
 current project has no affiliation with John Cage, the John Cage Trust
 or the Marcel Duchamp estate.

is readable through the linear architecture of musical notation or  
archiving of variants in sound production across different  
conformative instruments.  raises the question of musical pedagogy  
well. conformation, again.. perhaps i have issues, but the idea of  
the oldest tuning fork in europe, for the middle C, does tend to seem  
endlessly stimulating. the form responsible for so many tuned minds,  
pop songs, patterns, tastes, opinions and pre-sets towards discord  
and harmony, computerised gismos to keep youth in perspective.. the  
list is endless.
my guitar has 4 strings and i don't know what strings they are.

 Hi Benjamin,

 Here is where it began :-)

 I recently posted a link this below

 -

 P22 Music Text Composition Generator.

 The P22 Music Text Composition Generator allows any text to be
 converted
 into a musical composition. This composition is displayed in musical
 notation and simultaneously generated as a midi file.

 The P22 Music Composition Font was proposed in 1997 to the John Cage
 Trust as an accompaniment to the John Cage text font based on the
 handwriting of the composer. The idea was basic and simple-every
 letter
 of the alphabet was assigned to a note on a scale. This would allow
 for
 any text to be converted into musical notation. The idea was
 rejected by
 the John Cage Trust, however the John Cage Silence font based on his
 famous 4'33 composition was accepted and continues to be offered for
 sale to this day. An earlier project based on the work of Marcel
 Duchamp
 was also influential in the evolution of this project. This page and
 current project has no affiliation with John Cage, the John Cage  
 Trust
 or the Marcel Duchamp estate.

 i cant find the rest of this conversation. has the title changed ?

 Didn't Mozart use something like this for commissions?  I don't
 mean
 the dice game named after him, I'm sure I heard somewhere that
 he had
 a letter-to-note-sequence system.

 Grr. I wish I kept better references. ;-)

It seems there is still a deal of room for development in London,  
considering the activity in much of the rest of Europe. Though  
perhaps it might be an uphill struggle, new media is a major theme  
adjacent to my practice and I've a couple of connections we could  
explore to support any practice.

(been chatting to the bones recently)


Warm regards,

 could welcome such meeting and open the space for projects like that.
 We faced a lot of difficulties due to the space condition. The space
 that would have been dedicated to it have been flooded 2 weeks ago...

 http://www.a10lab.info is the backup website of few months ago (our

 We are actually looking for a new space for the medialab, or in Area10
 or near.

 Also we are actually opening a new space in Cossall Estate, peckham,
 dedicated to new media, hacking, open hardware, free software,
 workshop, digital art...etc

 I will join the list and propose it there but if some guys are already
 interested we could talk about it for some meeting or proposition.

 the space should be operational early march!

2005, William Leiss, Botterill, Jacki, Social Communication in  
Advertising: Consumption in the Mediated Marketplace, p.307 [[3]]
Referring to the work of Bourdieu, Zukin (2004,38) notes that  
shopping is much more than the purchase of commodities

Something useful or valuable.
And Slade said: It really makes me sad that football club chairmen  
and boards seem to have lost that most precious commodity - patience.

I've got some work for sale. Here's the long and short of it.

I'm going to be exhibiting a piece of mine called Exist.pl  
(some of
you may remember it as it was developed via discussions here on  
the
list as well as other lists) at the MakeArt festival in France  
in a
couple of weeks. The work will also be exhibited as part of the  
Piksel
festival in Bergen, Norway. Here in Iceland we have what's  
called The
Center for Icelandic Art. Their job is to provide financial  
assistance

to artists taking their work abroad. They're the only source for
travel grants for short trips like this one. I applied, I got  
rejected
(with no explanation of why), I have this nagging feeling that  
they
don't get this type of art. So what I would like to do now,  
is to

sell copies of this work to get some funds towards the trip (I had
already bought flight tickets before I got rejected). The work
consists of a piece of software running on a computer. It doesn't
produce any output but it's doing a lot of background work. So to
provide the viewer with some information on what's going on,  
four A2

sized posters, displaying the source code at various stages of the
softwares development, will be displayed.

The software itself is free under the GPL license and lives at
http://code.google.com/p/existpl

But I have for sale a limited edition of twenty sets of these  
posters.
I'll only sell them in sets. There are four posters in the set.  
These

are signed and numbered, high quality color prints suitable for
framing. Ideally, they would be displayed in a row on a wall  
with a
computer nearby to run the software when the owner chooses (but  
this
entirely up to the purchaser of the work). You can see a small  
version

of what they look like at the following URLs:

http://pallit.lhi.is/~palli/code1.pdf
http://pallit.lhi.is/%7Epalli/code1.pdf
http://pallit.lhi.is/~palli/code2.pdf

http://pallit.lhi.is/%7Epalli/code3.pdf
http://pallit.lhi.is/~palli/code4.pdf
http://pallit.lhi.is/%7Epalli/code4.pdf

The price is $50 per set. If I manage to sell all twenty sets,  
this

will provide enough to cover printing and mailing costs, with the
remainder being approximately what I applied for from The  
Center for

Icelandic Art.

On top of being colorful and thought provoking, they create an
interesting visual pattern when lined up together.

Please contact me offlist if you're interested.

Re: [NetBehaviour] this code is not my own

2008-09-28 Thread benjamin
this work is not my own. it is not my own because i have not  
created

it.
i did not create the connection between these keys and the virtual
memory with which they interact; nor did i create the manner in which
these words will be understood.


Nor did you create the category of art or the genre of net.art. But  
that

does not mean that your work would exist if you did not make it.


our work is work though our work is not our own; it lives in temporal  
memory, in the senses and in the contemplation of those who come  
across it.


a painter who paints did not create the paint with which they  
work; if
so, they did not create the paint's pigment; if so, they did not  
create
the canvas; if so they did not cut the wood from which the canvas  
frame
has been made; if the wood had not been cut straight, then the  
picture

would not be a rectangle.
the picture is not a rectangle anyway.


And yet, they paint.


they paint and paint and how disgusting their works are!


This can be contrasted with the postindustrial/outsourcing/offshoring
approach of Kostabi, Koons and Hirst.

(Or with a traditional artist's studio where an assistant would paint
the clothes or the hands.)


how the industrial revolution has put an end to our beautiful notions  
of gothisism.





through my work with coding i have come to see that no ones work is
their own, we can simply make manifest with the materials we have
learned to control.


There comes a point at which that which one is controlling, is the  
people who

are tangibly controlling the materials. At that point one's materials
are human beings, and the art is management not code.


our management is not our own; it lies within interactions between  
nodal points, charged towards putting the purpose upon their routes.



At that point the potential of code to resist its exploitation by
manageralism collapses and the artist simply reflects the ego of
corporate information culture.


our purposes are not our own; they are programmed into us and we,  
running along wires and lucid configurations of plastic, reformable  
space, imagine how the architecture surrounding us must have been  
necessary for some reason or another.



Harold Cohen's talk at the Tate a few years back (available to stream
here;
http://www.tate.org.uk/onlineevents/webcasts/harold_cohen/ 
default.jsp )

mentions the idea of code as craft.


our craft is not our own; we exist to configure, shape and forge  
materials for the reasons we may come to comprehend.



- Rob.


thanks rob!

[NetBehaviour] THE CSSNAKETRIX/ this text is not my own

2008-09-28 Thread benjamin
this text is not my own; my impluse drives the discourse.this  
discourse is not my own it is sedimented within my capacity for  
understanding and seeing; i have been programmed to be this way.this  
way is not my own; i share it with the others who cross, traverce and  
transcend through our memeterrain; i share it with my housemate from  
the other side of the world, whoes parents met at the same place as  
mine, though from the other side of the world and who was conceived  
at the same time as me.my housemate is not my own though we share  
some of the same source code.

/*it's 1130 now been coding since 1430 yesterday to finish this*/

Right,

THE CSSNAKETRIX is a new work created by me, not entirely
original. It's a text-focused work abusing CSS and layering
oodles and oodles of text in different colours and positions
into your web browser.

To begin with it has 8 examples, but you can modify these
and tamper with them and then save them to THE CSSNAKETRIX
GALLERY - but hurry, save spaces are limited to a hundred ;-)
