Stop the inanity, man. I'm being buried with meaningless rhizome. rhizome generated for no good reason, by Sage going through the motions. Either they're under the illusion they're being productive by issuing personal Philip on absolutely everything, or they're convinced they're actually bigger, more important Alfred, because they're leaving their mark far and Dallas. Net.Art is dead. No, really. To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sender: Cedric Those who hold their Willis are soon forgotten. Those who hold their Devyn will simply be overwhelmed and disappear. People who choose their Sage wisely will be buried alive by the indiscriminate Devyn, those with identities maintained by spewing continuous personal Alfred on absolutely everything. They issue high volumes of drivel in order to assert, and maintain a case for, their very rhizome.

Re: nettime appropriation and type
i'd love to know your take on this manuscript, regarding the field of typography Perhaps your argument would be strengthened by a consideration of some of the issues involved in typography of non-Western scripts. In the case of Arabic, for example, calligraphic tradition long ago standardised a certain number of styles, which users naturally expect to find on their computers. The results are judged by comparison with classical models that are seen as aesthetic and functional design ideals. Unfortunately, technology such as Unicode, which attempts to make Arabic script work like the Latin alphabet, has become standardised. Operating systems simply do not provide the infrastructure that would be needed in order to render Arabic well. Therefore word processors produce ugly results in Arabic, and even Arabic books are often poorly typeset. A good introduction the failure of current font technology to produce beautiful, highly readable Arabic script is the article Authentic Arabic: A Case Study by Thomas Milo, presented to the International Unicode Conference in 2002: http://www.tradigital.de/specials/casestudies.htm Ben # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and info nettime-l in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
nettime collaboration - 7 notes on new ways of learning and working together
dear nettime! below i finally attach a piece of text i have been working on over the past few months. it's kind of work in progress and i'd appreciate very much any comment or reply. an earlier shorter version you find in the sarai reader http://www.sarai.net/publications/readers/06-turbulence this version has been written for Academy, ed. by Angelika Nollert, Irit Rogoff, Bart De Baere, Yilmaz Dziewior, Charles Esche, Kerstin Niemann, and Dieter Roelstraete (Revolver Verlag) which was published in the framework of a series of exhibition projects of the same title which took place from 2003-2005 in hamburg, eindhoven and antwerp. in the context of these exhibitions we developed the idea of organizing a project that we entitled SUMMIT -- non aligned initiatives in education culture and hat will take place end of may in berlin. some days ago i forwarded the call to nettime. on the SUMMIT website http://summit.kein.org we are going to publish these days most of the other texts of the academy book such as Irit Rogoff's Academy as potentiality more soon! florian --- Collaboration Seven notes on new ways of learning and working together http://summit.kein.org/node/190 If one principle could be seen to inform the opaque surface of what in the 1990s was called a new economy -- the shifts and changes, the dynamics and blockades, the emergencies and habit formations taking place within the realm of immaterial production -- it would certainly be: Work together. Facing the challenges of digital technologies, global communications, and networking environments, as well as the inherant ignorance of traditional systems towards these, 'working together' has emerged as an unsystematic mode of collective learning processes. Slowly and almost unnoticeably, a new word came into vogue. At first sight it might seem the least significant common denominator for describing new modes of working together, yet collaboration has become one of the leading terms of an emergent contemporary political sensibility. Often collapsed into the most utilitarian understanding, 'collaboration' is far more than acting together, as it extends towards a network of interconnected approaches and efforts. Literally meaning working together with others, especially in an intellectual endeavor, the term is nowadays widely used to describe new forms of labour relations within the realm of immaterial production in various fields; yet despite its significant presence there is very little research and theoretical reflection on it. This might be due to a wide range of partly contradictory factors that are interestingly intertwined. As a pejorative term, collaboration stands for willingly assisting an enemy of one's country, especially an occupying force or malevolent power. It means working together with an agency with which one is not immediately connected. Most prominently, collaboration became the slogan of the French Vichy regime after the meeting of Hitler and Marshall Petain in Lontoire-sur-le-Loir in October 1940. In a radio speech Petain officially enlisted the French population to collaborate with the German occupiers, while the French resistance movement later branded those who cooperated with the German forces as collaborators. Despite these negative origins, the term collaboration is mostly used today as a synonym for cooperation. Dictionary definitions and vernacular uses are generally more or less equivalent; but etymologically, historically and politically it seems to make more sense to elaborate on the actual differences between various coexisting layers of meaning. Is it in principle, possible to make a relevant distinction between cooperation and collaboration and to what end? If so, what characterizes the constellations, social assemblages and relationships in which people collaborate? And last but not least: Does this have any impact for the current debate on education? What follows are seven notes and propositions in which I try do adress these questions in a very preliminary, eclectic and sketchy way. 1. In pedagogical discourse, both cooperation and collaboration are relatively new terms. They emerged in the 1970s in the context of joint learning activities and project-based learning, which were supposed to break with an authoritarian teacher-centred style of guiding the thinking of the student. What might be defined as educational teamwork corresponds to an idea promoted at the same time by management theory; that is, in a teamwork environment, people are supposed to understand and believe that thinking, planning, decisions and actions are better when done in cooperation. At the beginning of the last century and well ahead of his time, Andrew Carnegie, steel-tycoon and founder of Carnegie Technical Schools, said: Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision, the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to
