Annotating a live stream? http://infotrope.net/blog/2009/09/10/gendered-names-in-freebase/ === Potential Guests === == Marilyn Strathern == http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Strathern but she also edited this: http://www.routledgeanthropology.com/books/Audit-Cultures-isbn9780415233279\\ Tip Simon Yuill. Seems a good lead if Susan Stuart can't come? == J. Currall, M. Moss and S. Stuart == NM: Wrote: //Authenticity, A red herring//. Contact through Seda? "The process of attaching a royal seal or a label to a museum object is explicit and surrounded by formal process, whereas tying a lover’s letter in a bundle to define their physical relationship may be equally dignified but is implicit. If the seal or label becomes detached or the garter is not retied then the value derived from the binding is lost." Privacy, document vs. data stream FS: Am sort of intrigued by Michael Moss... an archivist, involved in 'records management' ... http://www.rms-gb.org.uk/conference-speaker/128/michael-moss All three researchers work at the University of Glasgow. FS: OK, viewing the programme and gender balance... had another look at Susan Stuart: think she is the one to invite in the end. == Alexander Galloway == PW / NM: Wrote: //Protocol// and recently: //The Exploit//. "The world is increasingly organized around the form of the network, argue Galloway (culture and communication, New York U.) and Thacker (new media, Georgia Institute of Technology), in politics, in social relations, in communications, etc., but they warn that networks are by no means inherently egalitarian, as some have theorized." New York. == Claudine Marrissal == FS: Still fascinated by her subject, so can't give up but afraid she will have a hard time to pan out, tentatively connect to other contributions. Spoke to her once. Have read some of her articles, but all in French so... Tend to think we should risk it. Lives in Brussels. == Bryce Harrington == FS: Free Software developer, Inkscape Lobbyist. I imagined a virtual interview. Should we invite him in person? (and the answer is: no) == Susan Leigh Star and / or Martha Lampland == FS: Wrote: //Standards and their stories//. Am fan of Star since reading her //Sorting Things Out//, and //The Cultures of Computing//. Latest book is interesting -- most of all because of its method: fiction. Star currently works on 'ethical and methodological challenges in on-line research with human subjects.' I don't know more about what that really means - USCD site has been off line for days.. Lampland has published on 'Ethnographies of Transition in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union'. Both live in California == Robin Kinross == FS: Kinross has been on my wishlist for a long time ... :-) Typographer, academic researcher. I imagine he could speak about technical protocols and standards with extreme precision. He did a brilliant talk on the social and political effects of the DINA4 norm (Bordeaux) and just published a book he wrote together with Marie Neurath //Transformer//, about the pre-digital visualisation of data. Lives in UK. http://www.hyphenpress.co.uk/books/978-0-907259-40-4 == Jeremy Zimmerman == PW: We voted against inviting him after the Nova talk, but maybe someone like him... another data activist? Just read the Nettime interview with Alessandro Gilioli; interesting but also: very local issues. http://dirittoallarete.ning.com/ == Adam Hyde / FLOSS MAnuals == FS: Not so much for the conference... but for the workshop week. A hands on session; we pick a specific subject (mencoder?). Should have a talk / presentation by Adam Hyde too? ====== Reading between the lines. / Paradata ====== The few words on this page are surrounded by a stream of data that exists in parallel. Code, logs, metadata, font info, formatting rules. But also warnings, instructions and comments. Simultaneously to each message one formulates, a mass of parallel texts, types of data is produced that is interlinked in meaningful ways but maybe only legible after being processed and reworked. We assume a relationship between the kinds of texts that are necessary to produce another one, maybe not intentional but at least circumstantial. [Comment threads, warning messages, standards, manuals.] We're interested in this 'grey literature' of digital production that radiates out from the margins. What comes before, during and after. Manuals and manifestos Making the texts and images that are between these lines the focus of our attention. ===== Guests to invite ===== ** >> Gerard Genette** (someone speaking about, referring to) ... structuralist literature analysis.

The work described herein involves the user commanding simple shapes about a large-screen graphics display surface. Because voice can be augmented with simultaneous pointing, the free usage of pronouns becomes possible, with a corresponding gain in naturalness and economy of expression. Conversely, gesture aided by voice gains precision in its power to reference. \\ \\ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyBEUyEtxQo \\ **Electric Sheep** \\ [[ http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?swf=http%3A//s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/cps-vfl98307.swf&video_id=LwQ929SMG1E&rel=1&eurl=&iurl=http%3A//i1.ytimg.com/vi/LwQ929SMG1E/hqdefault.jpg&sk=0B0sQzapOFSSb5paQqSAIO-sjce8osmQC&app=youtube_gdata&f=videos&cr=US&avg_rating=4.875&length_seconds=585&allow_ratings=1&allow_embed=1&title=Tubular%20TV%27s%20Sheepumentary|Scott Draves explains the sheep-saver]] "All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." \\ I like this desktop film, it is similar, but luckily no talking heads: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x4lilo http://www.boingboing.net/2004/03/18/electric-sheep-artif.html \\ **Jodi - My Desktop OS X 10.4.7** \\ oral desktop tour \\ te bestellen bij electronic arts intermix \\ * http://www.eai.org/eai/title.htm?id=14296 * http://www.ubu.com/film/jodi.html * http://ubu.artmob.ca/video/JODI_OSX-Tiger-Desktop-Live_2005.avi **Welcometothescene** \\ A fictional websoapin the shape of desktoprecordings. 2 seasons of 20 episodes under CC license.

It displays the organisation of production in global value chains and investigates the conditions of life and labour for millions of migrant worker in China's factories, which manufacture the hardware for the immaterial production of the 21st century. This film takes a look at the flipside of globalised computer production, which is incongruous with the "clean" image the industry usually displays. By interviewing both activists and workers, the film investigates the current situation as well as future possibilities for improving their situation. Furthermore, the film looks at issues surrounding the illegal shipping of computer scrap parts from Germany to developing countries.

The documentary entwines the past with the present, i.e. with the protagonist’s manic archival project, in which Kurenniemi records his thoughts, everyday observations, images and objects, constantly and obsessively. All this in an effort to combine man and machine to reconstruct the soul of man.

Shaina Anand? Nicolas: Terran work -- technology and the city; people singing on youtube. Public / private: anonymous audience becomes 'real'. An online video library ... does it also include links? Deese du vide: looking at the borders, surroundings. The versioning of the Cyborg Manifesto translation - three translations exist. Comments on the translation, comparing. Nathalie Trussart + Isabelle Stengers. Who claims the rights on a translation. Laurence made a translation in 2000-2001. Isabelle Magnant was not responding at that point. Maria Puig was working with Constant at that time? Can we make a collection of all translations of the CM? Or too much trouble? Manifestos and manuals ... translating a manifesto. Showing that translating is not without interest. Laughter as a comment ... physical comments. Relevance of actual programme ? Wendy: RFID narrative, creating fake profiles. Creating stories with what you leave behind. Nicolas: how can we not only talk about it, but also work with it. The problem of the 'actuel'. It seems relevant right now. But it is actually a repetition of 'old', nothing new. A remake. It is important, but it is also important to think about the decisions that are defining future cases. Wendy: "three strikes contract" (coditel) NM: to make visible, graspable what is put into motion now. Not just law but also to imagine the future of our on line life. Napster troubles where easy to picture through imagining re-use / no re-use. But ... DRM is not as easy to picture. It is hard to create awareness of/around issues that are going on right now. Not documentaries yet maybe but graphic, performative responses. There are dangerous laws coming up. (so vj12 is another copycult maybe?) NM: at the time of CC it was clear that a certain practice was targeted. Section of youtube / flickr images that are blocked. AM: passaporta asked poets to translate the human rights. To make law more tactile. Michael exercise on re-playing the discussion on image implementation in html. ** how to address european laws in the making ? ** looking for the texts that are be dealt with wiki of La quadrature du net they made tools to find texts, to find your EU representative, that is a good startingpoint re-writing the constitution during the voting against the EU constotution in France, an artist made a wiki on which people were rewriting and commenting the constitution http://www.everyones-a-citizen-baby.org/ Theater of the proof. Do we have access to the theater of the law? But we have the crying room! IBM brought a bus of blind people to try block DRM ... Maia participated in future eu scenarios, she really liked it ... she is now a consultant. Power of providers. Malin: strategies for lobbying -- lobby as a grey performance How is xs4all doing ? Who followed up Cory D at IFF ? Skynet used to be ok, but was than bought by Belgacom ... A radio show: Nicolas Maleve as Neelie Smit Kroes... Now it is the state (with/against isp's) against the people.

Sympathetic, but might lead also to the assumption that there is only One Original Author. - interactive art: audience participation as potential and simultaneously as a potential problem mentioned subjects such as 'comment space' -- parallel publishing -- the coire --- central place for comments in stead of commenting from the 'sideline', the box under the Main text: circle around: Designated space for response and how it can alter the thing it is commented upon - narrative online story : following the equator (please fill me in here: Schneider walks the equator assembling stories that are published online?

F: Maybe look again at the 'long tail': that the internet wold shift from Coca cola only to many. seems to be not ture (says who?) - would be interesting to have a thread in VJ 12 on rethinking schools: learning, open teaching, etc. much hyped, (University of openness, Talkeoke, Banc of Common Knowledge, p2peduction, open source learning - but maybe not enough scrutinised the school between schools: the invisible university BCN: p2peducation nadine plateau : inserting feminism into regular classes / schools strategy is not to oppose but to spread the virus contemminate itinerant publishing: groups of students in different places - how do you learn to learn with others: how you take over and apply rules, the goal is not to 'make school', but to infect, parasite, change, adapt what does a practice look like that calls itself 'shared' ? ===== Added notes 20-04-09 ===== //grey literature// ''is a term used by the intelligence community'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_literature An: During 'het Beschrijf' a poet showed a slideshow of a poem in which the history of wrting the poem was rendered visible in 'track' style.
