Referencing the BWPWAP theme of the Transmediale festival, this is an
invitation to process/discuss/research together the idea that THERE IS
NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (TINNUTS).
Join common practice at Transmediale in the green room and by:
connecting to the wiki
http://wiki.fantomton.de/index.php?title=Commonpractice_tinnuts and at
the same time connecting to irc://irc.freenode.net/##commonpractice or
joining ##commonpractice channel on freenode.
Common practice is an experiment into language and code,and doing things
with people, machines and software.
This experiment runs for the duration of the festival and is also a beta
testing of the platform which includes collaborative practices between
wiki, software called IRK.a and human participants.

[Yasmin_discussions] DIWO: Do It With Others – No Ecology without Social Ecology.
Hi all,
Sorry for any cross posting - but thought some on this list may be
interested in the subject...
Wishing you well.

DIWO: Do It With Others – No Ecology without Social Ecology.
http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/diwo-do-it-others-%E2%80%93-no-ecology-without-social-ecology
By Marc Garrett, Ruth Catlow.
The acceleration of technological development in contemporary society
has a direct impact on our everyday lives as our behaviours and
relationships are modified via our interactions with digital technology.
As artists, we have adapted to the complexities of contemporary
information and communication systems, initiating different forms of
creative, network production. At the same time we live with and respond
to concerns about anthropogenic climate change and the economic crisis.
As we explore the possibilities of creative agency that digital networks
and social media offer, we need to ask ourselves about the role of
artists in the larger conversation. What part do we play in the evolving
techno-consumerist landscape which is shown to play on our desire for
intimacy and community while actually isolating us from each other.
(Turkle 2011) Commercial interests control our channels of communication
through their interfaces, infrastructures and contracts. As Geert Lovink
says 'We see social media further accelerating the McLifestyle, while at
the same time presenting itself as a channel to relieve the tension
piling up in our comfort prisons.' (2012: 44)
Many contemporary artists who take the networks of the digital
information age as their medium, work directly with the hardware,
algorithms and databases of digital networks themselves and the systems
of power that engage them. Inspired by network metaphors and processes,
they also craft new forms of intervention, collaboration, participation
and interaction (between human and other living beings, systems and
machines) in the development of the meaning and aesthetics of their
work. This develops in them a sensitivity or alertness to the diverse,
world-forming properties of the art-tech imaginary: material, social and
political. By sharing their processes and tools with artists, and
audiences alike they hack and reclaim the contexts in which culture is
created.
This essay draws on programmes initiated by Furtherfield, an online
community, co-founded by the authors in 1997. Furtherfield also runs a
public gallery and social space in the heart of Finsbury Park, North
London. The authors are both artists and curators who have worked with
others in networks since the mid 90s, as the Internet developed as a
public space you could publish to; a platform for creation,
distribution, remix, critique and resistance.
Here we outline two Furtherfield programmes in order to reflect on the
ways in which collaborative networked practices are especially suited to
engage these questions. Firstly the DIWO (Do It With Others) series
(since 2007) of Email Art and co-curation projects that explored how
de-centralised, co-creation processes in digital networks could (at
once) facilitate artistic collaboration and disrupt dominant and
constricting art-world systems. Secondly the Media Art Ecologies
programme (since 2009) which, in the context of economic and
environmental collapse, sets out to contribute to the construction of
alternative infrastructures and visions of prosperity. We aim to show
how collaboration and the distribution of creative capital was modeled
through DIWO and underpinned the development of a series of projects,
exhibitions and interventions that explore what form an ecological art
might take in the network age.
Featuring: A Abrahams, Kate Rich, IOCOSE, Helen Varley Jamieson, Paula,
Feral Trade Cafe, make-shift, Do It With Others (DIWO) E-Mail Art, If
not you not me.

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Community Memory through Appropriated Media: an Interview about Sauti ya wakulima
Hi Eugenio and everybody,
Just now I had the time to read... but it was a pleasure to read the
interview, thanks for sharing your work there, definitely inspirational.
Your current work in Mexico is somehow related?
Happy 2013
