Furtherfield Stuff

11-Sep-12

Over at Furtherfield, I have an article online about Claire Bishop’s essay on mainstream art and “thematising” the digital. But I also want you to visit Marc Garrett’s interview with Charlie Gere on his new book – there’s a bit of Meillassoux in there too. MG: Community without Community in Digital Culture, is a curious title. [...]

unCloud

13-Apr-12

Contained within the package I found a sticker for a new project called “unCloud”: by Rui Guerra and David Jonas co-comissioned by Stuk and Arnolini. (which means Geoff Cox has something to do with it.) It looks very very interesting. Basically it’s an art project whereby you install the software on Mac OSX and create your [...]

Some (very quick) thoughts on Critical Engineering

11-Feb-12

I’ve been following an interesting thread over on the Empyre forums between Cesar Baio, Simon Biggs, Davin Heckman and Gabriel Menotti. It’s basically a conversation on the ambiguous nature of accessible artworks created by technology and in particular, computing programming languages. I was struck by a comment made by Julian Oliver (who recently showed some [...]

Re:Wire news

Clearly I haven’t posted anything in while. Sorry about that; my normal full time work has been crazy this month. Lots of end-of-year tax crazy stuff. So keeping up with academic news has been hard – but now that Easter is here, I’ve got a bit of time to recap on whats been going on. [...]

Paul Caplan on OOO and jpeg protocols

08-Apr-11

HERE is a great post from Paul Caplan on jpegs, software protocols and OOO objects. I’ve had a quick glance through it (as I’m about to go out for the night), and I’m not sure I can disagree with any of his sound words. We’re on the same panel for the platform politics event in May, [...]

Come and see me in Cambridge

09-Mar-11

Heres one for Alex Andrews. I’ve been accepted to deliver a collaborative paper at the Platform Politics Conference, Anglia Ruskin University, on the 12th -13th May. It will be a straight merge of my paper and Geoff Cox’s paper for Januarys Public Interfaces Conference, in Aarhus. We already agreed that Geoff can’t make it, due to other commitments, so [...]

On Agency: Response to Roden’s Reply on my Remarks

15-Feb-11

I’ve only just picked up on one of Roden’s comments over at Enemy Industry (his own blog) about my remarks on algorithmic artworks such as Every Icon. “I feel I need to respond to Robert’s remark on algorithmic art at greater length. Discreteness – unless I’ve read him wrong – doesn’t seem to entail complete [...]
