Is this the interim before the end? Will it be available in the future? Will archives of the past postings be available? New to the word hypertext but very interested in connecting the concept with graduate writing programs and letterpress. Should I just give your last listserv posting to a student who knows more about computers or is the site incomplete at this time, as it seems.

The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began at the end of 1994 and has run continuously since then. Can you describe the project--what it does, where the images come from, etc.? How are ISBNs involved? Q: Do you have a particular interest in nonstandard net art formats such as usenet, ftp, email, or are/where you simply using the technology available to you at the time?

There's an island down that way where all the migrating birds just fall from the sky exhausted after the Gulf of Mexico. The two ladies I know are Grand Dames who might be able to introduce you to artistes if there are any down there. You have to let me know a day or so in advance because it's quite a drive from Wonderful Waco. The Grand Dames are about sixty or so, but they are two of my favo-rite gals in Texas, very much fun. Your kind request about writing caused me to glow and give off sparks, since I have written nothing at all in six months. So I spent the rest of the day getting serious, researching writing, realizing what a racket it is. Non-fiction is by specialists with a Phd in the field. Fiction is a horrible funnel to romance novels very simply worded. Poetry is for gift cards and thank you notes.

I'm going to send out a pre-announcement to you and all of the filmmakers. There were over 70 entries and I've decided to post pretty much all of the films, to really offer an assortment of the type and style of film that people will be putting forth for p.d.a.s in the near future. That said, I want to offer a range of your matchbook movies on the site, but I have set up a limit of 13 films, in part because there is a randomize feature on the site and I want to make sure that all the filmmakers receive their fair share of exposure. I'm sure you will agree to that reasoning. FYI - There will be a link to your web site so that really interested viewers can go and see the rest of the films in your series.

All the day I held the memory of you, and wove Its laughter with the dancing light o' the spray, And sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love, And sent you following the white waves of sea, And crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth, Stray buds from that old dust of misery, Being glad with a new foolish quiet mirth. So lightly I played with those dark memories, Just as a child, beneath the summer skies, Plays hour by hour with a strange shining stone, For which (he knows not) towns were fire of old, And love has been betrayed, and murder done, And great kings turned to a little bitter mould.

That's how I came to your page. At Arisia last weekend -- it's an annual science fiction/fantasy convention in Boston -- I asked Polish/French Artist Guest of Honor Wojtek Siudmak about his influences. First in line was Caravaggio, but after that Bracelli. I'd never heard of him; don't believe any of the other spectators at Siudmak's slide show had either. He explained (in French, via translator) that Bracelli was a 17th century Italian proto-surrealist engraver. Told us about his projects like the carpenter made of drawers. And said that Dali had taken much from Bracelli, but usually without acknowledging the debt. When I searched the net today, though, Bracelli pickings were extremely slim. Yours was the only place I could find an actual series of works. Now if only I could figure out Bracelli's dates and locale, so I could put them in the convention newsletter I'm writing ...

Interest in the 12hr-project tends to expand mostly from the viewers themselves rather than depending on (the old artworld's) insular, hierarchical validation and critically fashionable recommendations. I still find it curious, if not just plain rude, that I'm recently approached to do interviews by people who can't be bothered to view the work that they wish to discuss! I assume, as old institutions and their proponents now decide to come online, that they bring-along their old incestuous attitudes and presumed arrogance. However, I'll answer your initial questions... I'd appreciate a response to _my question about connections with microtonal music -- this is an area I'd like to explore in the interview. /:b From: Kate Monro <---@extend.com> To: '{ brad brace }' <bbrace@eskimo.com> Subject: RE: YOU ARE INVITED TO DO OVERTIME@WORKPLACE we invited you because we think the isbn project is pretty cool, but is it a by-product of work ? when you say a live link to the "slow-stream" what do you mean? Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2001 21:53:29 -0700 From: furtherfield <---@furtherfield.org> To: list@rhizome.org Subject: RHIZOME_RAW: "Give it a chance!" Hello Josephine, I noticed your email below published on Rhizome.org & thought to my- self, well Brad has a point that many contemporary artists are keen to actively deny. The other thing is, why? Like I am doing publicly, have you thought it important to declare Brad's response to your questions for everyone to see in a context which seems (forgive me if I am wrong) detrimental to the him. As an artist/creator surely that individual has a right in how they are represented in the media. Make no mistake, Rhizome is just as much part of the media world even though it is not necessarily openly saying it is. I'm sure that you are well aware of this fact. It seems to me that Brad's work speaks for itself, which in a way is what he was trying to say. Please look at my work for it speaks for itself! Because he does not (consciously) desire to use the accepted language process of the interview format is surely his decision thus making him seem wrong and paranoid in the eyes of others. Those of course who use that language will be accepted more readily because they are less likely to challenge the intentions of that individual/organization concerned. I respect of your opinion and feelings on the situation mentioning how uncomfortable you felt trying to interview him. Brad was wrong to presume that you alone are an institution. In a sense his beef is not with you, it^Òs the arena that you are presently moving into or are part of. Your choice of who you are interviewing I presume has come about through searching for interesting underground talent on the net, those who have not had plenty of coverage already. Enriching the already growing creative Internet environment and its varied contributions to the world. His work and ideas are on the line here, and I have not always agreed with Brad's sentiments and some of them I have. Personally he has always inspired me (he does not know me by the way) as some one who is prepared to go against the art arena's presumptions and question their intentions. This is very important, and sometimes more valid than some art itself. For it is to do with the fundamental state of creativity itself and who owns it. We are all creating history here whether we are aware of this consciously or not, and if he is left out of it due to dislike or mutual posturing it would be a shame. (He treats me, single mum and free lance writer without connection to any organization or even publisher, as an institution. I wish some artists would see how even being a rebel needs some kind of idea and insight in how to go about it.) His answers are valid and should be taken on in the spirit of creative questioning. He does not dare to say that he has all the right answers to all the issues that he is bravely putting himself on the line for, his reasoning is subjective, and perhaps not immediately acceptable. I recall when at a certain next '5 minutes' conference 'Hakim Bey' was openly criticizing the many delusory functions of the Internet. And he got almost booed by the mob gang of Internet reliant contingency. I looked around me and thought, mmm interesting a god has just been criticized here (the Internet) and all the invented hopes and dreams with it. One mistake that anyone, and many individuals do, is not to see the spirit of a gesture that is honest in its action, no matter how out of place it might seem. quote:- Virtually all organizations known to you work largely by means of your greed. They attract you because what they say or do appeals to your greed. This is concealed only by their appearance. If you stop listening to their words and look at the effect, you will soon see it. Idris Shah. ^ÑLearning how to Learn^Ò. This is where Brad is coming from, he sees and dislikes what others see and accept. In respect to his open & public critizism of Heath Bunting, well... Heath can handle it. I'm a good friend of Heath's and we used to do alot agit-art in good ol' days together and are still in regular contact. As Heath nows, he is being attacked by someone who see's him as part of an institution, someone going through the historical process of trying to topple their throned father. A function that Heath & I used to talk about a lot 'killing your father'. A kind of right of passage that I myself do not adhere to. So I am thanking you both really for giving me something very interesting to think about. And I hope that Brad will do you another interview for you, if he asks for it that is. It looks like that you both got started on the wrong footing - respect to both.

Either way i like the fact that your getting your images up on the web and seen. Although i do tend to find that the vast majority of web viewing puplic don't bother to respond/reply to such ventures - which is a pity as feedback is a useful fuel for the fire of creativity. I'm also keeping a steady(ish) flow of images rollin over my "concerns and working processes 2001..."page and would welcome feedback (although i'm not hinting that you rush along view-and-respond) it's again just a general observation as to the nature of the web (i.e the view but do not respond mind-set of 90-99% of arts based web users) which is a crying shame as the means are there, but at the end of the day it takes a willingness to interact. Although the media gets smoother and faster it doesn't mean that people will interact any quicker, if at all.

Would you consider speaking briefly to a class at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland OR, October 23, 2001? The class, entitled "Distributed Art, 1960 to Present," will survey contemporary "democratic" multiples and artist's publications. The course description is below, along with a brief bio. Your presence in the classroom would be most appreciated. In any case, I am interested in purchasing copies of "ISBN 0-9690745-0-6" and "ISBN 0-9690745-1-4" (if you have any left). I very much look forward to your response! Best wishes, Anne Britton Instructor, Pacific Northwest College of Art Portland, OR * * * * PNCA Continuing Education Fall 2001 <http://www.pnca.edu/htmls/pro/pro_fm.html> Distributed Art Anne Britton 6:30-9:30pm; 10/09/2001-10/23/2001. 3 week course. Course No. CED0556-1 This survey class investigates online and offline artists' publications as a form of public art. Activities include looking, listening, reading and opining. The general purpose of the class is to question the myth and reality of the dematerialization of art. Through illustrated lectures, readings and field trips, we will examine books, magazines and websites as well as soundworks, video and ephemera by artists including Martin Creed, Ida Applebroog, Sol LeWitt, Paul McCarthy, Rodney Graham, Jodi, General Idea, Harmony Korine, Raymond Pettibon, Ed Ruscha, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Claude Closky, Komar & Melamid and others. Emphasis will be on factors affecting production and consumption such as: technology, popular culture, economic and political climates (in general) and funding, marketing, distribution, collecting and access (in particular). Expected learning outcomes include a familiarity with contemporary artists' publications and their antecedents and knowledge of information sources relating to distributed art. Anne Britton, INSTRUCTOR Anne Britton is a conceptual art enthusiast and professional librarian/archivist. Since 1985, she has worked with artists' publications at Bookworks (Washington, DC), Printed Matter (NYC) and the Museum of Modern Art (NYC), where she processed the Franklin Furnace archive of artists' books, the Stephen s'Soreff mail art collection and the Political Art Documentation/Distribution archive.

For 33 years I did 35mm slides for speech presenters. It was a photo lab, related to slides, processing and duplicating. I know B&W processing & printing, but am allergic to metol, so I stayed out of that. Gloves can only do so much, and a pin hole makes it a little worse than no glove at all. And printing without handling the paper is a pretty unrealistic thing. For while I did Cibachrome prints, but they cost a bunch, so the market was pretty small. Ah, but it is a quality process, tho. I have an 11x14 print I made from one of Dad's slides 18 or so years back that has hung in the sun ever since and looks like it did when I made it. Also, when that was still how they did it, I processed 16mm B&W and Ektachrome movie film for the HS football coaches, and shot & processed for the (then) LA Rams for a few years. Which was pretty ridiculous, because athletic I'm not. Interested I'm not. Eventually I got tired of a branch of the company that worked from 10pm to 8am Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights, on top of a "regular" schedule for slide customers and got away from that. These days, thanks in part to the dwindling market caused by Bill Gates' bundling PowerPoint (not even the best presentation package there was) with every copy of windows and in part by becoming old enough to actually get back some of the Social Security money the government confiscated all those years, I have been working at becoming a glass blower. The only photography I do now is with a digital [whore to technology that I am] CoolPix 995, specializing in my glass and my wife's jewelry and enamel. I kept the 35mm film recorder, and some of the glass/jewelry goes from digital image to slide because there are still gallery operators and show juries that want to hold a page of slides in their hands. I've also shot quite a number of glass artists in their studios. This year's brochure of a summer series of glass workshops was pretty well peppered with digital photos I did last year. If you keep the repro size to snapshot or less, a 1024x2480 pixel size is not too bad. There is also a rather daunting project converting 2 or 3 generations' slides and snapshots to video. It was a good field to work in; every time I turned around somebody would show up who did something that was new to me, and he/she'd pay me to learn about a whole new activity. You'd be astounded at the number of activities I know enough about to be truly dangerous... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From ---@arrl.net Tue Oct 2 16:28:39 2001 Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2001 02:20:58 -0400 To: bbrace@netcom.com Subject: Indelible Pencils Dear Sir, On this page - http://amsterdam.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-bold-0106/msg00167.html Mike Denty wanted to know where the NoBlot Indelible pencils can be purchased.
