Hi,

This went out in Net Art News today - but, in case you missed it, I just
wanted to point to the flash animation that YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY
INDUSTRIES made in support of the Community Campaign. I asked them if they
might be able to provide a statement of some sort on why Rhizome was
important to them, and they came back with this piece full of quotes from
fictional people all over the world that riff on RAW, Net Art News and
other Rhiz elements.

Its quite witty, especially considering it is a fundraising effort, I just
thought I'd share it..

Yours,

Please Support Rhizome!
Rhizome launched its membership drive, the Community Campaign, on
September 19th. The campaign is incredibly important to Rhizome's
survival and growth over the next year, and we sincerely hope that you
will help us meet our goal of $25,000 by December 1st by becoming a
Member or making a donation today! This targeted amount will go into
strengthening our current programs, and seeding our energy into new
initiatives. Higher-level donors are thanked on our support page and have
an opportunity to secure limited-edition works by Cory Arcangel, Lew
Baldwin, and MTAA. This is a very exciting time for the organization, and
a great time to get involved. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Call for Graduate Applications

Computing Culture Group
Art/Technology/Politics
MIT Media Lab

The Computing Culture Group at the MIT Media Lab is an Art and Technology
research group focused on embedding poetic and political considerations in
the development of new technologies. Research projects have ranged from
technologies to confront a changing U.S. Government (OpenGIA, txtMob) and
right wing anti-immigrant fascist groups (Freedom Flies), to complications
of gender and control in domestic appliances (Blendie), and techniques for
creating electronic instruments in a post-oil apocalypse (Synth From
Nothin'). Our mission is to refigure what engineering means, how it
happens, and what it produces. Drawing on fields from the humanities, like
Science and Technology Studies, we create new technologies that function
as instances of material power, but also as exemplars of what future goals
engineering should pursue. Our page may be found at
[http://compcult.media.mit.edu/].

We are currently accepting applications to the Master?s in Media Arts and
Sciences graduate program. The MAS is a two-year program, during which a
student spends half their time on course work and the other half on their
directed art research. Tuition is fully funded, and students receive a
significant stipend to live on. The program and funding are open to
students of any nationality.

Students may be trained in either art or science and/or engineering, but
should show crossover. For instance, an art student should be an
accomplished programmer, have machining skills, or be able to design and
fabricate electronics. An engineering students should have done several
art projects, worked with a professional artist, or shown their ability to
author radical or unexpected technologies. More information on the MAS
program may be found at [http://www.media.mit.edu/mas/#masters].

Information about the process is available at
[http://www.media.mit.edu/mas/apply.html] and application forms may be
obtained from the MIT Graduate Admissions office
[http://web.mit.edu/admissions/www/]. Applicants must indicate on the
application form (question #2) the department of Media Arts and Sciences
-- we are a separate program and not part of another department at MIT.
"Area of research interest" should indicate Chris Csikszentmihályi
(Computing Culture) as well as two other research groups. Application or
admissions questions may be directed to Media Arts & Sciences (e-mail:
mas AT media.mit.edu, tel: (+1 617 253-5114).

Completed applications must be submitted by December 15th for the
following Fall semester. The principal components of an application are:
academic transcript(s), the applicant's statement of objectives, a
portfolio, and three letters of recommendation. GREs are not required.
International applicants are required to submit an official copy of their
TOEFL scores to MIT. The MIT institution code for TOEFL scores is 3514.
The Media Lab does not have its own department number. Scores should be
sent to MIT Graduate Admissions, department code 99. The Program in Media,
Arts & Sciences requires a minimum TOEFL score of 600 (paper-based) or 250
(computer-based).

Computing Culture also requires the submission of a portfolio of relevant
work. Portfolios should be web-based, but DVD, CD, and other formats are
accepted. Any additional materials should be sent to the MAS program, not
directly to Chris Csikszentmihalyi.

Subject: Synthesis and Distribution: Experiments in Collaboration

Pace Digital Gallery is pleased to present new media work from:

Synthesis and Distribution: Experiments in Collaboration
Link: http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/

Curated by:
Will Pappenheimer, Artist, Pace University
Ron Janowich, Artist, New York, University of Florida
Merijn van der Heijden, Artist, Ohio State University,

Notions of synthesis and distribution in collaboration represent a coming
together of separate identities into a new and highly invigorating
investigation. As a pre-requisite, participants must question or set aside
familiar rules and tools to open up a particular problem in art and visual
language from different perspectives. The process is likely to encompass
dialogue, brainstorming, overlay, distribution, collective practices,
geography, hybridization, network activities, and new forms of cooperative
invention. This way of working is not necessarily shaped by personal
language or personal concerns. It can be understood as a third language.
It is a way of working that is based on mutual respect, risk-taking and
expansive inquiry that allows a team or group to venture into new and
unknown directions.

?Synthesis and Distribution: Experiments in Collaboration? is an
concurrent series of exhibitions featuring the unexpected results of
artistic and interdisciplinary collaboration. The artists, writers and
thinkers were invited based on their willingness to explore and transform
each other?s work. They may have already established an existing
collaborative body of work or they may be encouraged to uncover this
latent interest within the purview of this exhibition.

Artists from over five countries will exhibit work in new media,
photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, video, digital printing, and
musical performance. Interdisciplinary collaborations will include visual
arts, musical performance, criticism, writing, architecture and the social
sciences. They will be exhibited simultaneously in all three of Pace
University?s Fine Arts Galleries.

reviews "Inanimate Alice", a new media fiction from Kate Pullinger and
Babel, and "Aftershocks", a new media murder documentary from Martha Deed.

"Both 'Inanimate Alice' and 'Aftershocks' use unanswered questions as a
technique for capturing our attention. They exploit the fact that when
things are left unresolved, we feel more obliged to read on, in search of
a resolution. But both stories go further than simply arousing our
curiosity..."

branches and leaves move slightly, with an intensity that depends on
actual wind gusts. Its leaves are sensitive to sound. When there is a peak
in the volume level, from a shouting passer-by or car horn, a leaf will
break off the branch. Throughout the evening the tree will become barer

Radiator 2005 Events

Hydrophonics

Caroline Locke
Malt Cross
Sun 27 Nov 1pm (UK) / 10pm (AUS)
Mon 28 Nov 10pm (UK) / 7am (Tue 28 - AUS)
£3.50 (£2.50 concessions)

A live webcast of sound from the other side of the world to the surface of
water. The innovative concept of Hydrophonics stems from Locke's
fascination with technology, waterflow, the idea of 'seeing sound', of
visualising kinetic energy and exploring different approaches to the 'live
event'. Locke has worked with musicians to compose music based on the
sight of the composition, rather than the sound of it, and developed new
designs for water tanks and speaker systems.

Subject: Remix and Remixability

Remix and Remixability

The dramatic increase in quantity of information greatly speeded up by
Internet has been accompanied by another fundamental development. Imagine
water running down a mountain. If the quantity of water keeps continuously
increasing, it will find numerous new paths and these paths will keep
getting wider. Something similar is happening as the amount of information
keeps growing - except these paths are also all connected to each other
and they go in all directions; up, down, sideways. Here are some of these
new paths which facilitate movement of information between people, listed
in no particular order: SMS, forward and redirect function in email
clients, mailing lists, Web links, RSS, blogs, social bookmarking,
tagging, publishing (as in publishing one¹s playlist on a web site),
peer-to-peer networks, Web services, Firewire, Bluetooth. These paths
stimulate people to draw information from all kinds of sources into their
own space, remix and make it available to others, as well as to
collaborate or at least play on a common information platform (Wikipedia,
Flickr). Barb Dybwad introduces a nice term ³collaborative remixability¹²
to talk about this process: ³I think the most interesting aspects of Web
2.0 are new tools that explore the continuum between the personal and the
social, and tools that are endowed with a certain flexibility and
modularity which enables collaborative remixability ? a transformative
process in which the information and media we¹ve organized and shared can
be recombined and built on to create new forms, concepts, ideas, mashups
and services.² [1]

If a traditional twentieth century model of cultural communication
described movement of information in one direction from a source to a
receiver, now the reception point is just a temporary station on
information¹s path. If we compare information or media object with a
train, then each receiver can be compared to a train station. Information
arrives, gets remixed with other information, and then the new package
travels to other destination where the process is repeated.

We can find precedents for this ³remixability² ­ for instance in modern
electronic music where remix has become the key method since the 1980s.
More generally, most human cultures developed by borrowing and reworking
forms and styles from other cultures; the resulting ³remixes² were to be
incorporated into other cultures. Ancient Rome remixed Ancient Greece;
Renaissance remixed antiquity; nineteenth century European architecture
remixed many historical periods including the Renaissance; and today
graphic and fashion designers remix together numerous historical and local
cultural forms, from Japanese Manga to traditional Indian clothing. At
first glance it may seem that this traditional cultural remixability is
quite different from ³vernacular² remixability made possible by the
computer-based techniques described above. Clearly, a professional
designer working on a poster or a professional musician working on a new
mix is different from somebody who is writing a blog entry or publishing
her bookmarks.

But this is a wrong view. The two kinds of remixability are part of the
same continuum. For the designer and musician (to continue with the sample
example) are equally affected by the same computer technologies. Design
software and music composition software make the technical operation of
remixing very easy; the Internet greatly increases the ease of locating
and reusing material from other periods, artists, designers, and so on.
Even more importantly, since every company and freelance professionals in
all cultural fields, from motion graphics to architecture to fine art,
publish documentation of their projects on their Web sites, everybody can
keep up with what everybody else is doing. Therefore, although the speed
with which a new original architectural solution starts showing up in
projects of other architects and architectural students is much slower
than the speed with which an interesting blog entry gets referenced in
other blogs, the difference is quantitative than qualitative. Similarly,
when H&M or Gap can ³reverse engineer² the latest fashion collection by a
high-end design label in only a few weeks, this is part of the same new
logic of speeded up cultural remixability enabled by computers. In short,
a person simply copying parts of a message into the new email she is
writing, and the largest media and consumer company recycling designs of
other companies are doing the same thing ­ they practice remixability.

The remixability does not require modularity - but it greatly benefits
from it. Although precedents of remixing in music can be found earlier, it
was the introduction of multi-track mixers that made remixing a standard
practice. With each element of a song ­ vocals, drums, etc. ­ available
for separate manipulation, it became possible to ?re-mix¹ the song: change
the volume of some tracks or substitute new tracks for the old ounces.
According to the book DJ Culture by Ulf Poscardt, first disco remixes were
made in 1972 by DJ Tom Moulton. As Poscard points out, they ³Moulton
sought above all a different weighting of the various soundtracks, and
worked the rhythmic elements of the disco songs even more clearly and
powerfully?Moulton used the various elements of the sixteen or twenty-four
track master tapes and remixed them.²[2]

In most cultural fields today we have a clear-cut separation between
libraries of elements designed to be sampled ­ stock photos, graphic
backgrounds, music, software libraries ­ and the cultural objects that
incorporate these elements. For instance, a graphic design may use
photographs that the designer bought from a photo stock house. But this
fact is not advertised; similarly, the fact that this design (if it is
successful) will be inevitably copied and sampled by other designers is
not openly acknowledged by the design field. The only fields where
sampling and remixing are done openly are music and computer programming,
where developers rely on software libraries in writing new software.

Will the separation between libraries of samples and ³authentic² cultural
works blur in the future? Will the future cultural forms be deliberately
made from discrete samples designed to be copied and incorporated into
other projects? It is interesting to imagine a cultural ecology where all
kinds of cultural objects regardless of the medium or material are made
from Lego-like building blocks. The blocks come with complete information
necessary to easily copy and paste them in a new object ­ either by a
human or machine. A block knows how to couple with other blocks ­ and it
even can modify itself to enable such coupling. The block can also tell
the designer and the user about its cultural history ­ the sequence of
historical borrowings which led to the present form. And if original Lego
(or a typical twentieth century housing project) contains only a few kinds
of blocks that make all objects one can design with Lego rather similar in
appearance, computers can keep track of unlimited number of different
blocks. At least, they can already keep track of all the possible samples
we can pick from all cultural objects available today.

The standard twentieth century notion of cultural modularity involved
artists, designers or architects making finished works from the small
vocabulary of elemental shapes, or other modules. The scenario I am
entertaining proposes a very different kind of modularity that may appear
like a contradiction in terms. It is modularity without a priori defined
vocabulary. In this scenario, any well-defined part of any finished
cultural object can automatically become a building block for new objects
in the same medium. Parts can even ?publish¹ themselves and other
cultural objects can ³subscribe² to them the way you subscribe now to RSS
feeds or podcasts.

When we think of modularity today, we assume that a number of objects that
can be created in a modular system is limited. Indeed, if we are building
these objects from a very small set of blocks, there are a limited number
of ways in which these blocks can go together. (Although as the relative
physical size of the blocks in relation to the finished object get
smaller, the number of different objects which can be built increases:
think IKEA modular bookcase versus a Lego set.) However, in my scenario
modularity does not involve any reduction in the number of forms that can
be created. On the contrary, if the blocks themselves are created using
one of many already developed computer designed methods (such as
parametric design), every time they are used again they can modify
themselves automatically to assure that they look different. In other
words, if pre-computer modularity leads to repetition and reduction,
post-computer modularity can produce unlimited diversity.

I think that such ³real-time² or ³on-demand² modularity can only be
imagined today after online stores such as Amazon, blog indexing services
such as Technorati, and architectural projects such as Yokohama
International Port Terminal by Foreign Office Architects and Walt Disney
Concert Hall in Los Angeles by Frank Gehry visibly demonstrated that we
can develop hardware and software to coordinate massive numbers of
cultural objects and their building blocks: books, bog entries,
construction parts. But whether we will ever have such a cultural ecology
is not important. We often look at the present by placing it within long
historical trajectories. But I believe that we can also productively use
a different, complementary method. We can imagine what will happen if the
contemporary techno-cultural conditions which are already firmly
established are pushed to their logical limit. In other words, rather than
placing the present in the context of the past, we can look at it in the
context of a logically possible future. This ³look from the future²
approach may illuminate the present in a way not possible if we only ³look
from the past.² The sketch of logically possible cultural ecology I just
made is a little experiment in this method: futurology or science fiction
as a method of contemporary cultural analysis.

So what else can we see today if we will look at it from this logically
possible future of complete remixability and universal modularity? If my
scenario sketched above looks like a ³cultural science fiction,² consider
the process that is already happening on the one end of remixability
continuum. Although strictly speaking it does not involve increasing
modularity to help remixability, ultimately its logic is the same: helping
cultural bits move around more easily. I am talking about a move in
Internet culture today from intricately packaged and highly designed
³information objects² which are hard to take apart ­ such as web sites
made in Flash ­ to ³strait² information: ASCII text files, feeds of RSS
feeds, blog entries, SMS messages. As Richard MacManus and Joshua Porter
put it, ³Enter Web 2.0, a vision of the Web in which information is broken
up into ³microcontent² units that can be distributed over dozens of
domains. The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of data. We are no
longer just looking to the same old sources for information. Now we¹re
looking to a new set of tools to aggregate and remix microcontent in new
and useful ways.²[3] And it is much easier to ³aggregate and remix
microcontent² if it is not locked by a design. Strait ASCII file, a JPEG,
a map, a sound or video file can move around the Web and enter into
user-defined remixes such as a set of RSS feeds; cultural objects where
the parts are locked together (such as Flash interface) cant. In short, in
the era of Web 2.0, ³information wants to be ASCII.²[4]

If we approach the present from the perspective of a potential future of
³ultimate modularity / remixability,² we can see other incremental steps
towards this future which are already occurring. For instance, Orange
<orange.blender.org> (an animation studio n Amsterdam) has setup a team of
artists and developers around the world to collaborate on an animated
short film; the studio plans to release all of their production files, 3D
models, textures, and animation as Creative Commons open content on a
extended edition DVD.

Creative Commons offers a special set of Sampling Licenses which ³let
artists and authors invite other people to use a part of their work and
make it new.²[5] Flickr offers multiple tools to combine multiple photos
(not broken into parts ­ at least so far) together: tags, sets, groups,
Organizr. Flickr interface thus position each photo within multiple
³mixes.² Flickr also offers ³notes² which allows the users to assign short
notes to individual parts of a photograph. To add a note to a photo posted
on Flickr, you draw a rectangle on any part of the phone and then attach
some text to it. A number of notes can be attached to the same photo. I
read this feature as another a sign of modularity/remixability mentality,
as it encourages users to mentally break a photo into separate parts. In
other words, ³notes² break a single media object ­ a photograph ­ into
blocks.

In a similar fashion, the common interface of DVDs breaks a film into
chapters. Media players such as iPod and online media stores such as
iTunes break music CDs into separate tracks ­ making a track into a new
basic unit of musical culture. In all these examples, what was previously
a single coherent cultural object is broken into separate blocks that can
be accessed individually. In other words, if ³information wants to be
ASCII,² ³contents wants to be granular.² And culture as a whole? Culture
has always been about remixability ­ but now this remixability s available
to all participants of Internet culture.

Since the introduction of first Kodak camera, ³users² had tools to create
massive amounts of vernacular media. Later they were given amateur film
cameras, tape recorders, video recorders...But the fact that people had
access to "tools of media production" for as long as the professional
media creators until recently did not seem to play a big role: the
amateur¹ and professional¹ media pools did not mix. Professional
photographs traveled between photographer¹s darkroom and newspaper editor;
private pictures of a wedding traveled between members of the family. But
the emergence of multiple and interlinked paths which encourage media
objects to easily travel between web sites, recording and display devices,
hard drives, and people changes things. Remixability becomes practically a
built-in feature of digital networked media universe. In a nutshell, what
maybe more important than the introduction of a video iPod, a consumer HD
camera, Flickr, or yet another exiting new device or service is how easy
it is for media objects to travel between all these devices and services -
which now all become just temporary stations in media¹s Brownian motion.

_This Cybagenic Lattice_ [interlingual rendition].

Imagine a crab-like information retrieval moment. Envisage datacyst
crystals reiterated through electroid transmissions. Think the design
disarray of dimension facets gone molten, of interfaces constructed to
mimic simulcrated non-geodefined spaces. In this projected conception your
fantasized structure is, however, musty and indistinguishable from a
traditionally masticated mass. You end up conceptualising a representation
akin to a graphic urn of earthed circuitry rust.


+Michael Szpakowski <szpako AT yahoo.com> replied:+

Yes - this seems on the nail, if a tad schematic. The potential to express
large amounts of different stuff in ones and zeros, so sound and image and
text and procedure confront one another as *equals* and moreover in some
sense the *same coinage* seems to me also to be behind/parallel to a
general renewal of interest in the gesamkunstwerke, and this not only in
the networked world. But the elephant in the room here is the massive
amount of stuff (ie. most stuff) not yet (and probably never) reducible
to, and exchangeable in, this coinage.

The difference between an image of a painting and that painting's surface
and presence (& I'm not talking *aura* here, just the fact of that raised
and lumpy surface),or the distance between the wonderfully accurate Strad
sample called in by an extremely nuanced Sibelius file compared to a
performance by a human on a real Strad,or smell,or taste,or dance... I'm
not dissing the virtual, I love it; also I'm not setting up a simple
human/machine opposition - those networks and channels are, of
course,chock full of humanity. There's just a further dialectic at work...


+Dirk Vekemans <dv AT vilt.net> replied:+

A very impressive synthesis of the dominant view. I've admired and enjoyed
'The Language of New Media" because of it's power of synthesis and
clarification too. Here, however, in the field of what you rightly call
info-aesthetics, i think the picture is very restrictive and when it's put
like this, backed by the power of your authority, i fear it may become
normative. It already is, in many ways.

Mez's reaction to this is perfectly clear, i think. It's amazing how fast
and accurate she can produce these things. I feel that if you're missing
the point of what the Poetics of New Media could be (too, besides what you
make of it here and although the description you give here goes for most
of what's being produced), she's bang on to it and putting it to good use.

There are suggested paths in your own work too,however, indications that
you choose to neglect here, they seem overriden by the methods of the
power grid now. It's a pity, somehow. Don't think the world needs more of
this modular function N=new function(newnewnewnew newness=new
newnewnewnew()){it=N;N(it);}. It tends to get blown away by the
hurricanes caused by the continuous postponement of urgently needed
action partly generated by it. If there's a futuristic science quality in
the model you're describing it might be that of how to let things slip
into oblivion efficiently. Unintended, sure, and i might be the fool to
read it in it, but that's what it spells for me.

It's a very usefull text, though, your quality of writing, the clarity is
a commendable achievement in our dark age and it deserves better than
these hasty remarks or those beneath. Not that i'd get near your clarity
or Mez's accuracy, but i might be temted to give it a serious go anyway,
if i can find some time, later. I might not be able to, but information
matters.
