Re: [spectre] please link to this site: http://waldvogel.plaintext.cc/
He's also the only of the three curators who ducked a reply to us after our protests. And on top of that, Inke's text that got ripped off into Just Do It originally had been a lecture of her's at Zollverein - when Waldvogel was its curator, and listening to the talk. So beware of Mr. Waldvogel attending your lectures. There's a chance that they end up, with his name tag, in his next brilliant catalogue, getting him the next big job in the art world. I just learned that he has become a curator at Witte de With in Rotterdam. Hi all, Nicolaus Schafhausen (formerly Frankfurter Kunstverein) became the new Witte de With director and chief-curator on January 1st this year, which here is being seen as quite a positive development. Reading the posting that Waldvogel is (or will be) a curator 'across the street' at Witte de With I was rather hoping that this may have been a slip of the pen. But indeed, further intensive research has confirmed this to be the case ... www.wdw.nl greetings, stephen V2_Institute for the Unstable Media Stephen Kovats_Program Development Eendrachtsstraat 10 3012 XL Rotterdam The Netherlands t_ **31 10 206 7272 f_ **31 10 206 7271 e_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.v2.nl events streamed live at www.v2.nl/live and moderated on irc.v2.nl #V2_tangent TANGENT_FEAR on media and phobic objects Friday March 03, 2006 @ 19.00 - 22.00 CET featuring Karen Lancel and Hermen Maat with Marc de Kesel, Jordan Crandall, Jill Magid and Dennis del Favero TANGENT_LEAP on emergent media landscapes in China Thursday March 30 @ 19.00 - 22.00 CET Featuring Michael Anti, Zhang Ga, Karsten Giese and Guobin Yang in collaboration with International Institute for Asian Studies, Leiden (IIAS) ELECTROMAGNETIC BODIES exhibition opening May 04, 2006 conference: The Electromagnetic Bride - Saturday May 06, 2006 aRt D: Research and Development in Art V2_Publication launched June 04 Beijing Millenium Dialogue In the Line of Flight www.newmediabeijing.org * __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
[spectre] technological determinism in media art
hi spectrists, some of you might be interested in a thesis I have written last year about: Technological Determinism in Media Art The thesis is, in short, that certain founding fathers have succeeded in establishing media art institutionally but it was a pyrrhic victory. the language and 'philosophy' they have employed was about a fetishized notion of disembodied information and an equally fetishized notion of interactivity. Thus, they have failed to build solid theoretic and terminological foundations. Because of the internet being openend up their discoursive relevancy was over by 1995-96. Although some good things came afterwards this sort of foundational mistake has blighted the field and subsequently lead to the confusion and misunderstandings we find ourselves in now. Long version http://theoriebild.ung.at/ where you can also find some other bits and pieces of theory under construction regards Armin __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
