Lecture Srathern http://www.alanmacfarlane.com/ancestors/strathern.html

Came across this text from Anna Munster that I liked: http://munster.networkedbook.org/data-undermining-the-work-of-networked-art-in-an-age-of-imperceptibility/

could we have a reporter at a distance? Annotating a live stream?

http://infotrope.net/blog/2009/09/10/gendered-names-in-freebase/

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?

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.

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.

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

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/

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?

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.

AUGMENTING HUMAN INTELLECT: A Conceptual Framework By Douglas C. Engelbart October 1962
http://www.dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html#1

“Put-that-there”: Voice and gesture at the graphics interface,
Early project by Chris Schmandt (1979); MIT Media Lab Speech Interface group video collection
Recent technological advances in connected-speech recognition and position sensing in space have encouraged the notion that voice and gesture inputs at the graphics interface can converge to provide a concerted, natural user modality. 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.

Welcometotehscene

“Welcome to teh Scene”

“This show is a spoof of the horrid “Welcome to the Scene”, a program that purports to be “cool” as it follows the really inaccurate life of a top-level warez dude. “Welcome to teh Scene” parodies its brethen, and makes fun of its inaccuracies as well as script-kiddies overall. The movies are also really well thought out, with good camera placement and editing. As well as being genuinely funny.

Rebuntu http://k0a1a.net/rebuntu
re:buntu is an illustration of a system making decisions by itself, committing to self-maintenance and self-destruction. The system is continuously reloading a copy of itself within itself until the memory runs out. When no free memory is left the system needs to decide which one of the copies of itself it shall kill in order to reproduce itself again, again and again…

Internet ou Minitel 2.0
Benjamin Bejart http://clioweb.free.fr/debats/bayart.htm http://www.fdn.fr/minitel.avi

• Nice because extremely boring comparison of web 2.0 and central system minitel.

“Nous croyons tous utiliser du web 2.0. En fait avec l'adsl (a pour débit asymétrique, pas pour @), les tarifs, les drm, le filtrage-flicage, les brevets…) les marchands ont réussi à nous imposer leurs règles, en fait celles d'un minitelnet 2.0, un réseau centralisé et payant, conçu pour consommer”

Digital handcraft
- China's global factory for computers

• Film about how global digital consumerism shapes chinese society —

“digital handcraft” is an educational film, a portrait of the process of computer hardware production. 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. http://www.pcglobal.org http://v2v.cc/sites/default/files/torrents/digital_handcraft.torrent

The Future Is Not What It Used To Be
(Finland 2002) This documentary by Mika Taanila, the director of Futuro – A New Stance for Tomorrow (1998),features never-before- seen archival material from the early years of electronic art, including excerpts from Kurenniemi’s unfinished experimental short films. 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. (avanto festival, 2002)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erkki_Kurenniemi

De Rekenaarsters 35 minute docu about the pre-programmers generation of women who worked as 'counters' for the post and giro services, why there profession was regarded as typically female, and the prprofession of programmer that grew out of their job as typically male. http://www.radiovisie.eu/nl/nieuws.rvsp?art=00053936

Pierre Bourdieu, Les jugements de goût

“un entretien avec Pierre Bourdieu sur la question du goût et de sa fonction de classement, de distinction. C’est l’occasion aussi, pour l’auteur, de glisser un mot de regret concernant le titre de ce fameux ouvrage, La Distinction, qui a été mal compris et de revenir une nouvelle fois sur la critique du « déterminisme » dont il ferait preuve.

Cette vidéo est issue du DVD « Penseurs de notre temps », édité par le SCÉRÉN-CNDP ; l’entretien est conçu et réalisé par Dominique Bollinger.”

Alan Kay: Doing with Images Makes Symbols Pt 1 (1987) Alan lines up a number of systems including Englebart's Sketchpad, the FlexMachine, the RAND tablet and Smalltalk, all of which were way ahead of their time and demonstrate some concepts not carried through even today. This is an entertaining (for the UI nut) and strong case for software & imagination being the bottleneck of current computing, and of Mr. Kay's mastery of user interfaces. Highly recommended!

Tekstgenetica … interesting, also that it is about Sneeuwitje. Would be interesting to find out how 'technical' (gender? interpretation? framework?) this remains: http://www.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=geert.lernout&n=13&pid=22426&more=0 (Geert Leenhout, through Wendy)

Terran interesting use of tools? 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. Before, it was the people with the collcting societies.

An met with artistic direction of the Brigitines. in relation to their future program, the notion of chorus came up. The classic greek tragedy construction of giving voice to a critical mass, on stage. Setting the individual player in a collective context.

P: can existing models of practices serve in formulating new ones? (Richard Sennet, → the craftsman: the master with apprentices passing on knowledge, improving skills) Florian Schneider about activism: appropriating representation as a tool to alter history could be / is active practice of writing social fiction.

F mentions: - the crying room: when first movie theaters were built — isolated rooms allowing mothers with crying babies to watch film without disturbing audience: - in bordeaux: osp installed a room away from the main space: off-stage, sort of commentary boot,

N: - the view of the tester: using, find bugs, report — influencing the coding process - writing a series of tests that software should pass, validating script tests outputs integers - write the test before the function: how can something be tested before it is written

A: fictional testing: take it as a story (eeh lost my thread here …)

F: - program: what you know that happened before, and hope of achieving something: - mutual relationship between poles in processes: learning - teaching , rules - play, - what about blogs, mass critique in newspapers: journalist is taking new kind of critiques serious: comments in newspapers are part of their content: the 'outsider' comments of readers are used as strategy to voice opinions you don't want to be credited for (extreme right)

W: - the role of the joker - commenting the king

- N brings up PZ student working on the talmud the place of the comments: the typology is fixed — the talmud is central, the interpretation forks —- cannon is created

Discussion points:

- religion and gender: Emma - hypertext (sorry …. typist could not follow the speed of the discussion) - urbanist perspective: 'participation' is a tool to silence people to have them accept the proposed program: what's in a name? or in the act of naming? - writing is per definition replicating existing ideas, when you publish without publishing references it doesn't mean you invented the text, it just means you don't realise which texts you are referring to. it's better to show the source texts, then at least it is clear nothing is original. 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? URL?) - king.dom.de : you never exhaust the richness of the story - virtual space:

- QA: responding to questions: - la ritournelle, deleuze: http://www.cerphi.net/atel/rit1b.htm power of language that creates: something you say without evening knowing / remembering the words, ' the blah blah blah' – “Confirm or reject”, icons, blackflagging, thums up, thums down : live or kill ? - Bugreports, the spasmatics of testing (Ellen Ulman: parking your mouse on dead pixel next to typing box) - FAQ: predictable answering patterns to the max, leading to formatting questioning behaviour

- interesting notion: grey literature: literature where authorship does not apply, recipes 80% of the written material in the world is grey

1. - what if you extend this to automaticly written logs, etc. it will probably be 95%

logs seem to not matter until they matter,

The mass of data is enormous, the processes that run on data reconfigures and changes the meaning of the blah blah. 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' ?

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. Name of poet to be retreived from Ans memory.

Parallel writing

schrijven, beschrijven, herschrijven, het één leidt tot het ander, one thing leads to another afbakening: data archieven / archiveren van data:

Aandacht voor dat wat er geschreven wordt zonder het directe onderwerp centraal te stellen.

+ het lezen van aantekeningen in de marge

+ het kijken naar de tools die het beeld produceren

Wie bepaalt wat en hoe geschreven wordt: realtie tussen hoe, wie, wat schrijft, wat er geschreven wordt en waarmee geschrven wordt: materiaal, schrijver, onderwerp:

Context als meebepalende factor (desktop als kader) Schrijven, commentaren in de marge (krabbels in boek, het chorus / de kritische massa als sturende factor Matthew Fuller (materialiteit van code en systemen) http://www.spc.org/fuller/texts/active-data-and-its-afterlives/ Over uitsluiting door insluiting + vice versa: groepsprocessen in software-ontwikkeling: in Lumièra-equipe: Cinelerra is hoofdzakelijk door één persoon ontwikkeld (jack crossfire, adam … ) De CV versie worstelt met de bestaande code: wie houdt zich met wat bezig? Waar liggen prioriteiten? Het herschrijven van de code tot een nieuw project Lumiera, lijkt een metafoor voor het herformeren van de degroep coders. Wat zijn de sociale aspecten va het bouwen van code ? Moeten Manuals voor algemeen gebruik zijn ? (Cinelerra voor Grandma's) Bambi Ceuppens, Archiveren als manier om ongeziene zaken zichtbaar te maken, post-koloniale archieven als manier om geschiedenis te corrigeren / contesteren / complementeren. Tijd als belangrijke factor: geschiedenis wordt geformeerd na de actualiteit. Jorge Blasco, Het belang van het onbestaande, de herinnering. De categorie van de niet langer bestaande foto. Hoe breng je persoonlijke beelden in kaart waarvan geen fysiek materieel bewijs bestaat ? Stoffel Debuysere, Erasure, het uitwissen van data door het ongebruiktte laten, populariteit van gebruik leidt tot grotere zichtbaarheid (zoekmachines) Overschrijven, remixen, actieve archieven. Unlearning Simon Yuill and Kirsty Stansfield: Kaleidoscoop Encryptie, Data-compressie, de/codering, wie kan er op een goede manier spreken over Suicide scripts: Op de Piksel lijst: gast die zelfmoordscripts schrijft: randomkill.sh, serialkiller.py Gender Art Net presentatie: Wat is het gehoopte effect van een netwerk-visualisatie waarin de geschiedenis van feministische kunst centraal staat ?
