several people already asked if you could collapse your never ending posts into just one with all the program.
could you that?
it is very annoying to receive this amount of posts everyday: i just erase them all.
sorry, but it really has the opposite effect!
thanks in advance.
best,

environmental concerns

M. Leaf-Tierney — 2009-11-10T03:48:47+01:00

hello,

i wanted to ask a question to artists, or perhaps generate a discussion... however imbecilic it may appear... it's why I am asking it...

you can't help let the matters of the world affect what you produce. indeed it supports why u do what u do.

but in my own thinking about art i am often faced with a dilemma between my visions for pieces that push, or extend upon previous practices - and the lineage of art itself - that is, art that tends to be formal, with cultural references, social critique, etc...

but the situation of the environment often comes up for me as an artist, whether or not I frequently choose to imbue these themes in new work...

for example I can be at a magazine stand and glance through the latest issue of IDN - and find meaningful insight and validation for what i do/want to do. i've always been interested in sound and light, immersive experience, virtuality etc... but on the other hand,
in that same magazine stand i can pick up a copy of Adbusters... and that feeling is completely reversed...

i feel like an imposter... a contributer and proponent of the veil that protects people from dealing with environmental issues head on...

these practices seem to go against the core of what is happening in the world. ie... the claim is often made that the minions who walk the earth are 'consumers', safe-guarded with their tv's, incesant shoppers, addictive creatures, oblivious, or beastly careless to the effect our way of life is having on the planet...

my question is, is immersive, or indeed any type of art, that does not engage environmental issues a dismisal of them? is the artist in that sense any wiser than the spectacle consumer? art is entangled in that spectacle and serves as an anaesthetic to people who simply prefer different flavours...

is non-environmental art just as guilty of "concealing" environmental matters as any other form of media, in that it is still purely escapism?

granted, who would want a world of purely 'environmental' art... (re: land art etc) but i can't help feeling a sense of guilt, when say, i aim to create a completely immersive self contained art experience that envelops the audience, and concerns itself with say, for instance, science fiction films...

am i just being pedantic?

does any one else share this conundrum?

is it arts job to do anything about the environment?

are u an immoral artist if you don't?

LT.

p.s. latest adbusters issue is very good

I find it interesting that one would not be able to characterize results obtained in this way as the human condition.

This consumer based petro-chemical age, Well? What do you think? I've been posting subliminal messages, so far no one seems to have seriously responded. My theory. No one wants hard labor for low wages. Everyone wants to be a "rockstar-artist-musician" or someone important or wealthy. The farm is paid for I still need money? Money money money......I'm so much cooler than you!(don,t Take anything personal keep reading) I never got into playing stupid video games. The computer I,m presently using is a gift .My Friend a computer engineer. Who is under-employed and owns a small residential electrical contractor Co. Recycles used broken computers and re-builds them. I live an eclectic somewhat recluse lifestyle This is the best I can come up with for cheap entertainment (laughing) Art music? it,s saturated Tons of starving artists...I,m still trying. The minimalist approach is the hardest. You have to compete with hollywood? No.... watch for my art in the future. Thanks. babylon john john mcardle

Albertus Van Wyk — 2009-11-08T13:59:02+01:00

herebey i submit my 200 pieces multiple ,multiconceptual collectors item "75Evaluetainer75E serials of 200 numbers based on a numbered dreamshare from my limited serial "11.5Grs Aenors Dreamshares"1/19200 giving his number to the subserial of the 'low-cost' declination for the grand public !

Former dental practicioner I converted to Art practice almost Naturaly during a journey of one year in New Caledonia, where i was invited to go in a creative hermitage in the bush at Tao to prepare an Exposition of my work with Drifted Wood's .I produced about 30 opera's , mainly with a method that i called 'pigmentary impregnation' where the colors penetrates the wood. Pleased with the result's but not satisfied as far as the creative standard's ,I thought it would be elegant to work with metal on these object's ,of course my first idea was to use Bronz.Since i pretend to have a creative mind i started creating, in the bush and during my journey there, intellectualy, my specific alloy.
Aenors a quartenary composition of some gold,some more silver,much cuper to create mass and as much iron molecules as gold to ad a specific electromagnetic resonance to the alloy, wich turned out to be also the signature of my work's!( if it react's to a magnet i'ts Aenors)
The trademark Aenors is the alphabetical 'order' of the word Reason!
I realised the first fusion end 1994 at my return in Europe ,more precisely in San Remo at a friend's jewelers workshop.
For the need of the suspension of a steel ball in the ciprypedium of an opera "il messagero" i created a derivate of pewter by adding sporadic elements,i lowered the fusion point about10°degrees, the aim is to bring it under the 100 degrees celcius, but the creation is there and i call it "Spirit of Aenors" ,i am still researching and use it as adjuvance to Aenors Art Alloy in unique peaces; and as samples in my 75Evaluetainer75E,containing(also) a builded in lottery in this multiconceptual colectors item with fixed refundable nominal value.
Taking in consideration my multiconceptual collectors items,the limited serials of these items ,the unique specific alloy's ,the mutuality/participatory/exchange approuch of my art totaly unreleased ,where i propose to buy back after 36 month's my collectors items(shares,subshares) of the aenorsexchange, if sealed and sound with a 9% interest benefit for the art amateur /investor at 36 month's term wich makes them also bond's.

Summary of conditions: :

The face value of 75E is guaranteed as I will repurchase the object at this price if it is still sealed and intact after 36 months.

As the purchase price is 66.66E, the object can therefore be considered in several ways: the artist in me would like you to consider it as a collector's item and keep it, but if you so wish you can sell it back to me at the end of the term… and will therefore have a kind of “savings deposit”!

Note that if you keep your object you become a shareholder in the Aenors™exchange stock market and de facto are one of the joint heirs to my work

Anyone working with GPS?

Jonathan Vingiano — 2009-11-06T22:46:00+01:00

I use an application for my phone called Instamapper which logs all your GPS coordinates in intervals that you specify. It also has an API so you can do a lot with the data it tracks, like make a line drawing based on your coordinates. Instamapper has made applications that you can download to your cell phone so as long as you have a data plan, you can constantly be tracking your GPS coordinates without carrying another device. You can find the Instamapper website here → http://www.instamapper.com. The iPhone app is called "GPS Tracker" and works pretty well. Good luck!

Absolutely, in terms of glitch as a "medium-specific fault or flaw" there is an analog history that predates the digital one, and if we consider glitch as simply a disturbance/flaw in a system it has a history that can predate even electronic analog technology, Jon Satrom (A professor here at the Art Institute of Chicago and fellow glitch enthusiast) adopts a similar mindset. That there's a long history for the appreciation, or rather interest, in "errors" and/or "accidents" is for sure, I guess I've just been more taken by the digital kind (for varies reasons, including, as I mentioned before my interest in glitch's relation to digital culture).

good luck with you're dissertation, I'm very interested in reading it when you're finished!
