The software developed by the Re:combo, is a part of *Re:combining The Territory*, a multimedia project of collaborative sound + vision production. The experience mix audiovisual material sent by collaborators to RE:COMBO (<http://www.recombo.art.br/>www.recombo.art.br) with the possibilities of a composing multi-user software. The experience is a part of Transmidia project, created by the Instituto Cultural Itau, (São Paulo, BRAZIL), during the "Transmidia" esposition (it runs till September 21) all the music made with the software will be played on site at the Re:combo installation at the Instituto Cultural Itau. http://radio.recombo.art.br Re:combo is a Brazilian-based but now worldwide collective of "musicians, software engineers, DJs, professors, journalists and computer geeks," who combine live events, peer-to-peer networking, and music resampling as our medium. The whole basis for the experience is intellectual generosity and open environment for people to work on a project without being tied to any kind of contract or anything, we open the content that re:combo produces so people can get the content themselves change it and recombine it and do different things and so we expect to get this back and produce new things again and so it improves. Working with Baktin's dialogical concepts, and known that "the word (and other signs) are interindividual "besides the criative functions of the author "the listener has his own rights on the creation", the goal is to make this technologically explicit and transparent for the public. Also, as a basic concept, the Translocation is presented, term created by Tetsuo Kogawa, to define a relation we focus to the "local"(instead of the global), thinking at the same time as its propagation through the net: *Think locally, act globally Re:make / Re:combine [ ] ' s mabuse ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2003 10:35:54 +1000 From: "][mez][" <netwurker@hotkey.net.au> Subject: Hypertext Readings at ACM Hypertext 03 Hypertext Readings at ACM Hypertext 03 - -------------------------------------- in Nottingham, Aug. 26-30 2003 - -------------------------------------- The Hypertext Readings at the annual ACM Hypertext conferences are a forum for artists in the digital medium to present recent works. The Exhibition presents 5 selected works of which one is the collaborative "The Famous Sound of Absolute Wreaders" by Johannes Auer, Reinhard Döhl, Sylvia Egger, Oliver Gassner, Martina Kieninger and Beat Suter [ http://kunstradio.cyberfiction.ch ]. "For this year's Readings we invited artists to submit text-based (not necessarily text-only) and navigatable works of art that emphasize textual aspects, linkage, interactive interfaces, audio, or user-centered conventions, works that can be performed with the audience's interaction, rather than read by the author alone." The exhibition offers background information on the authors and their works and will serve as a permanent documentary of the 2003 Hypertext Readings:: http://www.wordwrap.de/htreadings/ Wed.

It names a tissue composed of threads, but it also denotes 'roughage' - something that can't be broken down any further - a dietary connotation for both body and mind; and a moral association - integrity or backbone. Fibre is where flows meet resistance. The strength and properties of invisible connections will determine the cohesion or resistance of fibre, and its wider fabrics - economic, social, cultural. The connective tissue rearranges geographies, re-wiring the categories of urban and regional, of global and local. Information reaches the speed of light - but it meets resistance nonetheless, in the fibre and the fabric. As the filaments are invested with value they also become a new political terrain to be fought over, where control, ownership, and dominance are up for grabs. Fibre is a fulcrum of post-industrial economic change, where public utility gives way to private corporation, where citizen is re-cast as shareholder, customer, end-user. And yet, only 3% of global network capacity is being used. In 'dark fibre' lies the potential energy of networked multitudes. The articles in this issue address a wide range of these issues. We invite you to explore the views of our contributors! Feature Article "Broadband" In this article, Gerard Goggin looks at broadband networks in Australia and their present state of uneven development. He considers how broadband is framed in contemporary policy debates, and argues for the urgency of a radical rethinking in this area. Articles "The Geography of Cyberspace" Emy Tseng & Kyle Eischen argue that the structure of virtual space is a product of the Internet's geography and technology. Debates around the nature of the virtual often leave out this connection to "fibre", to where and how we are physically linked to each other. Rather than signaling the "end of geography", the Internet reinforces its importance with "real world" physical and logical constraints shaping the geography of cyberspace. To contest the nature of the virtual world requires understanding and contesting the nature of the Internet's architecture in the physical world. "When Fibre Meets Fibre" A wide range of ritual practices - as witnessed in the secular and non- secular magic and mysticism that is endemic to contemporary science fiction, in war-chalking, in new forms of compulsion, neurosis and addiction, or just in the everyday use of networked technologies - have accompanied the 'rise of the network society'. Such ritual practices are often only seen as interesting diversions or attachments to the main social issues involved in networking. Yet many of these ritual activities suggest complex ritual engagements with the network. What happens when we consider these 'diversions' as central to the ongoing dynamic of networks - technical and social, asks Andrew Murphie. "The Infrastructural-Political: Forms of Attachment and Sites of Differentiation" To analyse critically contemporary communications and network technologies, and to understand how they become more (or less!) political, we need to learn about the forms of attachment, the kinds of 'stickiness', and the 'velcro effects' which block or negate as well as enable contemporary infrastructural politics. In this tableau, the heuristic fiction comes from psychotherapy. Imagine the cultural/new media/critical researcher as the analyst. Adrian Mackenzie that the forms of attachment to be analysed include the analyst's own as she/he comes into relation with changing infrastructural regimes. "Resistances of Gender" Jonathan Marshall writes that online life is embedded within the complexes, organisations, power ratios, and conceptualisations of offline life. The ambiguities of the interaction between online and offline - the testing and questioning, asking and affirming of their match - make a vital part of their current phenomenology. One factor which seems to exert resistance - some form of implacability - however unexpectedly, is that of gender... "Idiotypic Networks, Normative Networks" Network thinking is rapidly becoming a pseudo-paradigm in contemporary techno-culture. Addressing the genealogies of the network concept and making links between different discursive fields so as to manifest their biopolitical implications is a crucial analytic task. This paper by Andrew Goffey focusses on the way in which the idea of a network has been taken up in immunology, as a way of understanding the individuation of biological identities, and sketches out an assessment of its political implications. "A Spam Scam Slam" Grayson Cooke's piece is a satirical, vaguely Nietzschean meditation on the ironies and absurdities of email spam. "Something Third, Other" Petra Gemeinboeck notes that in tele-immersive virtual environments, the virtual place doesn't seem able to break away from its physical anchorage, and the cybernetic transfer of our Self seems to be somewhat uncanny. The most exciting aspect for remote users is commonly the fact that they are connected to other participants, located in Chicago and Tokyo, physical places they can relate to in their mental world map, rather than the fact that they actually - virtually - share the same space. Does this imply that the virtual place and the virtual body, materialised in virtually accessible environments, are coupled with one another in a similar way as we experience the physical and cultural boundaries in our daily life? "Fragments on New Media Arts and Science" What is new media in the age of the 'rock 'n' roll life coach' Anthony Robbins? ... To what extent have the 'tech wreck' and following scandals affected our understanding of new media? ...

In order to know how artistic creativity is expressed through the matter and technical practices coming from computer or scientific disciplines. [Tutorial and artwork] Whichever location in space and time the artwork may assume, the analysis of tutorial is based on the initial creation, the set of executed signs and sounds or the set of instructions to execute that generate the set of copies, of performances, the set of data transmissions or executions. The artwork belonging to digital arts of reproduction and to digital performing arts or belonging to the arts of communication and software cannot in fact be identified in an object but in the initial creation. What the philosopher Richard Wollheim calls "type", that is, the piece of human invention from which the particulars or "tokens" are generated. [Tutorial and artistic techniques] The technical narration of tutorial describes the art mediated by the material process of informatic techniques recognized as artistic practices. It provides the possibility to read how the matter acquires the aesthetic properties or itself becomes an aesthetically relevant property. Moreover, the opportunity to investigate the initial creation discovers new forms of digital matter notation, new writings of digital material processes. However, according to the artistic genre and author's intentions, the artist tutorial can appear as an essay or a pure tutorial, as a diagram, a sketch by hand, as an exposition of code fragments with or without descriptive comment or else as a photo or screenshot documentation. The first issue relates the form of new dance notation. A digital dance in the initial creation explained in the use by a revolutionary Maestro of the choreography: Merce Cunningham. http://www.artist-tutorial.net ------------------------------ # 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: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
