The UK has been a pioneer of the creative arts PhD. Some institutions have built up large cohorts of creative arts research students and experience in developing appropriate research methods and frameworks to assure the necessary research cultures are established in departments that are not always well oriented to support such working methods. It is key that PhD candidates are intrinsic to the running of the departments they are working within, not an add on. At eca we have some 70 PhDs working in this area. However, we do not consider the PhD as the default terminal degree for the creative arts graduate. It remains, and will likely remain, a minority choice, just as it does in many other professions. The purpose of the PhD is to facilitate the next generation of researchers, in whatever subject they are working, generally destined for careers in academia, running departments, developing research facilities and projects and preparing the next generation of researchers. Those students who are seeking to become artists are probably still best served by exiting college at BA or MA/MSc level, depending on the degree of specialisation they feel they require. Of course, being an artist is not an activity that has a requirement for accreditation and we should remember that a degree is in no way an indicator of whether somebody is going to be a good artist, much less a successful one. A PhD will not help in this respect either - although it might allow some artists to deepen their practice in the challenging and multidisciplinary environment that a good university can be.

Dear colleagues,

In Spain and in many other countries, for instance in non-European one
like Brazil, Australia, etc., Art was totally integrated in the main
University system a long time ago. Art students and researchers have the
possibility to apply to a PhD title and to research and PhD grants as
students from any other field. So this integration also implies -and
should take seriously into consideration- the possibility to access the
highest funding systems for research in Art. In my own case, I enjoyed a
4-year grant to develop my PhD thesis, and publish it afterwards, by
applying to the same national and local research grant systems, in the
same way as any other colleague from any other field could do. In fact,
in Spain PhD candidates in Art can apply to grants at the national and
regional levels and the same in Brazil.
Nowadays the phase and debate in these countries are not anymore whether
or not Art is to be integrated in the university system with all the
rights and obligations that it implies: the debate is how Art is
integrated and can have a specific role in a trans-disciplinary
collaboration between art-science-humanities, and which can be the
different models or possibilities to develop PhD research in Art at this
highest possible level given the fact that there is a great influence
from research "models" that come from other fields like Humanities,
Science and Technology.
Taking the most of these previous experiences, France is in the best
moment to develop a kind of integration at all levels that is fully
aware of Art's features and needs. Some of these needs should address
equality of opportunities for Art, the development of proper research
models that are not dominated by models of other areas, the achievement
of equality of access to grants as much as any other field and a more
extended presence of art in all social fields, among others. People
involved in this integration process in France could benefit from
learning from these previous experiences that have been running for
quite a long time and, in so doing, could avoid stumbling on these same
mistakes and problems.

All the best,
Cristina

ISTANBUL DIGITAL Culture and Art Foundation, in collaboration with its Greek partner KEDE – Center for Research and Action on Peace, and with its Greek and Turkish associate partners, is now calling for artists, media creators, and film makers from Turkey and Greece to participate in the North Aegean Narratives Project, a collaborative production of short creative documentaries on the main theme of "Re-thinking Closeness and Apartness, Re-connecting with the Other Side ".

We are looking for 16 emerging media-makers who will partake in a development workshop, and produce their own short documentaries over a period of three months, contemplating different narratives such as culture, tradition, religion, gender and identity. We particularly encourage those media creators who reside or attend schools in the North Aegean region of Turkey or the Lesvos and other islands in the North Aegean region of Greece to participate in the project; however, artists from other regions of both countries are also welcome to apply.

The application DEADLINE is 12 February 2012.

To learn more about the North Aegean Narratives project, please visit http://NorthAegeanNarratives.org/. You can view the application guidelines, and enter your application online at http://NorthAegeanNarratives.org/apply/.

North Aegean Narratives Project is financed under the Civil Society Facility-EU-Turkey Intercultural Dialogue: Culture & Arts programme and is co-funded by the European Union and the Government of Republic of Turkey.

Follow North Aegean Narratives on Facebook!

hum ... might just be a mistake when using the "reply"
button ;-)

But may be it is also that e-poetry is a topic that could be
discussed here ...

which made me think about the most recent work by Eduardo
Kac, not e-poetry but for sure "new media" poetry and for
sure to experiment with, if not the entire body, at least
other senses :

[Yasmin_discussions] interactive electronic poetry

2011-12-12T12:48:00.000-08:00

vitor annick et al

its a wonder how this yasmin discussion has gone from networking 5.0 to
synaesthesia in chimpanzees and now new forms of e poetry !! there
is a poem there somewhere

i just saw a performance of an interactive poem by Philippe Bootz
in collaboration with pioneer emusic pioneer Marcel Fremiot of their
new work " les amis sur le seuil'

http://revuebleuorange.org/oeuvre/les-amis-sur-le-seuil

the poem is available on line and of course never reads/sounds
the same

it was a very powerful performance !!

try it ( its in french and needs shockwave to run)

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Interactive Poetry

Dear All,

I have two suggestions for you :
- Jeffrey Shaw, "Legible City", 1989
http://www.jeffrey-shaw.net/

This work is considered a "classic" of interactive art, it
is usually considered as "visual art" BUT it is also digital
literature (if not poetry stricto sensu) and you need you
whole body to interact with it.

- Camille Utterback and Romy Achituv, "Text Rain", (late 90
or early 2000 if I remember correctly)

[Yasmin_discussions] Fwd: [Yasmin_an] Synaesthesia in Chimpanzees

2011-12-10T11:02:00.000-08:00

yasminers

fascinating post by sean day which states:

Thus, we are called upon, here, to re-asses our definitions of "the
senses" and "modes", and, thus, also, "cross-modal".

here is the abstract of the article Sean Day pointed us to

roger

Humans share implicit preferences for certain cross-sensory
combinations; for example, they consistently associate higher-pitched
sounds with lighter colors, smaller size, and spikier shapes. In the
condition of synesthesia, people may experience such cross-modal
correspondences to a perceptual degree (e.g., literally seeing
sounds). So far, no study has addressed the question whether nonhuman
animals share cross-modal correspondences as well. To establish the
evolutionary origins of cross-modal mappings, we tested whether
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) also associate higher pitch with higher
luminance. Thirty-three humans and six chimpanzees were required to
classify black and white squares according to their color while
hearing irrelevant background sounds that were either high-pitched or
low-pitched. Both species performed better when the background sound
was congruent (high-pitched for white, low-pitched for black) than
when it was incongruent (low-pitched for white, high-pitched for
black). An inherent tendency to pair high pitch with high luminance
hence evolved before the human lineage split from that of chimpanzees.
Rather than being a culturally learned or a linguistic phenomenon,
this mapping constitutes a basic feature of the primate sensory
system.

Subject: Re: [Yasmin_an] Synaesthesia in Chimpanzees
To: YASMIN ANNOUNCEMENTS <yasmin_announcements@estia.media.uoa.gr>

A recent article regarding cross-modal correspondences and synesthesia
has appeared in PNAS:

Ludwig, Vera U., Ikuma Adachi, and Tetsuro Matsuzawa. 2011.
"Visuoauditory mappings between high luminance and high pitch are
shared by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and humans." PNAS;
www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1112605108

I would like to state the following:

The last common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans (CHLCA) existed
somewhere between 7 and 10 million years ago (mya). So, we can push
cross-modal correspondences in our ancestry back to at least 7 mya,
and note that not only was it persistent in the genera leading up to
modern-day species of Pan, but, apparently, would also have appeared
in (at least) genera Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus, and
Austraolopithecus, on the way to genus Homo. Which implies also that
cross-modal correspondences would have occurred amongst Homo sapiens'
previous companion species erectus, Denisovans, Neanderthals, and
florensiensis.

I will posit the following: "Synesthesia", by force of its basic
definition, must be the minority circumstance for a given species.
"Synesthesia" means an (atypical) combining of what are,
statistically, most commonly un-combined sensory perceptions.

Now, if, as Ludwig et al. 2011 suggests, cross-modal correspondences
can be traced back in our line to at least 7 mya with the CHLCA, and,
as Marks, Cytowic, Ramachandran, and many other synesthesia
researchers have pointed out, is so pervasive in modern-day humans -
then that is not "synesthesia". It is also not "cross-modal
correspondence".

Rather, that is how the human senses most typically - statistically - work.

Thus, we are called upon, here, to re-asses our definitions of "the
senses" and "modes", and, thus, also, "cross-modal".

Again, for something to be "cross-modal", that implies that there are,
indeed, two separate modes, and that a correspondence between them
would, given the odds, be more unlikely. If, however, such
correspondences are the more common event - as, apparently, they are
for humans regarding, e.g., luminance and (sound) pitch (frequency) -
then that is how our perception most commonly works, and we need to
re-evaluate what we now increasingly see are outdated paradigms
regarding "the senses" and "perceptual modes".

Much of what is currently being labeled "cross-modal correspondence"
is not. For something to be a cross-modal correspondence, that, too,
would have to be the less likely event.

I will note that Ludwig et al. do, indeed, carefully distinguish
between cross-modal correspondences and synesthesia, seeing them as
separate but potentially related things.

Olá Cláudio.

É possível que se tivesse infiltrado algum lixo nas ligações, talvez
estas funcionem melhor:

Caro Vítor,

Obrigado por responder-me tão rapidamente. Visitei o blog, no entanto tive
problemas com plug-ins. A primeira vista me pareceu bastante
interessante. Farei as instalações de softwares necessários para vizualizar
seus trabalhos. Em breve entro em contato novamente para conversarmos mais
um pouco sobre nossos temas de pesquisa em comum.
Obrigado.

yasminers

for our networking discussion- here is the union of international associations
created 100 years ago

roger

UIA

http://www.uia.be/

The Union of International Associations (UIA) is a research institute
and documentation centre, based in Brussels. It was founded one
hundred years ago, in 1907, by Henri La Fontaine (Nobel Peace Prize
laureate of 1913), and Paul Otlet, a founding father of what is now
called information science.

Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature,
the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision
of information on international organizations, international
associations and their global challenges since 1907.

Publicly the UIA is best known for the Yearbook of International
Organizations; the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential;
the International Congress Calendar; and its former journal
Transnational Associations. [Read more about our activities]

In its on-going efforts to facilitate understanding of the nature and
complexities of the international community of organizations the UIA
has become a cutting-edge technical centre with high standing in the
academic, governmental, and business domains.

The UIA has consultative status with ECOSOC and with UNESCO.

[Yasmin_discussions] Interactive Poetry

2011-12-08T07:04:00.000-08:00

Hi All

My name is Claudio Fajardo and I´m a brazilian researcher of new media
poetry. I´m looking for artistic works that use interactive digital
technologies to realize poetry performances using the entire body used to
read poems, not only the eyes and hands. These kind of digital poetry must
allow a total interaction of the reader with the poetic work. The role of
the body is essential as a process of aprehension of the poetry purpose.
The medium used can be realized by many ways of artistic expressions as
interactive installations, real or digital 3D objects, or some other
relevant possibilities.

Best regards.

>From Maurice Benayoun •

What about SCIEFAD (F for "for" art and design), I guess we don't
need to include the N or NETSEAD (with the play on NET SEED..) what I
say...;-)

maurice- not sure if you intended a pun with SCIEFAD- but there is
indeed a faddish-ness in the way funding affects us !!! for many
years it was creative industries, new media etc and now there is a
burst of pushing of art-science- locally art-science collaboration
is suddenly on the 'innovation' radar and suddenly many things are
repackaged as art-science !!!

patrick maccray is a science historian who has worked on how funding
for nanotechnology emerged and much of what
was already going on got renamed nanotech because there was funding
available ( and less easily for materials science...
or chemistry)

Levy Leblond in his book Science is Not Art, has a section on the
faddish nature of how art-science is suddenly on
an international radar and groups calling themsleves art science
appear out of the woodwork ( 5 years ago they
were "locative media" groups - just a name change)

but needless to say i think there is some fundamental shifting of
cultural practices going on- here in the new Aix marseille
University a group of energetic professors in sciences and humanities
are building new curricula that try to join
the arts and science at the hip, with problem driven approaches> I am
just reviewing a proposal for a new
bachelor of arts and sciences at the university of hong kong which
includes introduction to science for artists,
a course on scientific processes, art and mathematics as well as
electives in cell biology, robotic art, organic
chemistry, game design etc etc

the program I am joining at UT Dallas, like these others, are
responding to student interest and pressure in
education that bridges the arts and sciences

so ( but then i wouldnt say otherwise) i think the current
international interest in art-sci relflects underlying
cultural shifts not just political funding fads

and we need new kinds of neworks as a substrate that grows out of the
new cultural practices-

roger

Cathy Fitzgerald • Hi Roger,

seems to be a popular theme, I came across this UK conference
yesterday 'The Networked Conference' – for artists, fully
oversubscribed http://www.thetriangleconference.org/archives/98. Also
had over 80+ people download my research paper on 'networking the arts
to save the earth' and had it reposted a few times- to me networks
have a lot of positives but they are fragile and take a lot of work
and the platforms change and then, how to make them sustainable in
this fast changing world, and in the end, how can we evaluate their
worth? But they are fun and do seem to foster networks that you make
in the physical world too.

Best regards
Cathy

Dave
I generally appreciate what you have recounted and I especially underscore
your final paragraph, which by the way. sort of addresses my wrapping it
up project (has been unsuccessful in grant funding) and remains out of
reach as an realizable soundwork project. I have been conceptually working
through this with friends. Ideally it's in realtime and interactive. From
person-to-person, who upon achieving UTC-based timing, results in outflow
signals which are to be conjoined with Lat/Long syncing via mesh network.
Contributing participants- in the multiplexing of their collective data
would used xyz U(tc) film sensors- and rely on the final mix down using the
Arduino and XBee RF modules for netout purposes. The four data files are
run through a audio editing software for compressing all into one final
file that can be uploaded to Sound Cloud-as ongoing audio and video
documentations-and being the basis for renewed funding.. Overall
communicating uses wikis throughout the project. Specific partnering .be
workshops would be relied upon. Sooo, trouble shoot construction and
software issues, and yet, conceptually-related net(s) remain a challenge
considering adjacent to/with what/who?

I'd say if a network doesn't self-organise via unmonitored and
sustained communication between individuals, it isn't a network but a
managed structure. I'd also argue that you can only asses what kind of
network it is by analysing the interactions between participants/nodes
quantitatively and that, retrospectively once the network is running
successfully.

I also wonder how self-organising networks survive within
institutional structures which are typically hierarchical and often
status-based with a strong management and administrative remit, as
well as a need for institutional promotion. It seems from my
observations that individuals who respond to each other tend to
by-pass or work around their institutional frameworks in order to
connect, although they are obviously need to frame their interactions
in a manner that their supporting institutions can recognise.

I'd see the main issue of interest is how as sustained relationships
often cut across or ignore institutional initiatives: if the latter
want to respond to or foster these self-organising networks, perhaps
they could support advocates who are *already connected*, watch how
they work, and *really listen* to what they need in order to continue.

[Yasmin_discussions] networking 5.0: Next Steps in building Network of Science Engineering Art and Design

2011-12-04T13:15:00.000-08:00

Next Steps in building Network of Science Engineering Art and Design

As I mentioned on this yasmin discussion there was a meeting Nov
14/15 of the US NSF funded group
working on establishing a network of science engineering art and
design (NSEAD but a first decision
was to come up with a better name).

http://malina.diatrope.com/2011/11/12/nsf-art-science-workshop-at-maryland-institute-college-of-art-nov-14-and-15-2011/

The group has funding for the next year to try and develop the
network. One of the decisions of the group
is that it would focus on 'advocacy' of the initiatives needed to
bridge the SEAD disciplines.

A mailman list has now been set up for anyone interested in joining in
the discussion and being
kept informed:

https://lists.viz.tamu.edu/listinfo/nsead

If you want to join go to the link.

In addition there is a document sharing site:

[Yasmin_discussions] Welcome to the Yasmin List - Personal Intro

2011-12-04T09:07:00.000-08:00

Dear all at Yasmin,
Allow me to introduce myself, I am in my 1st year of a PhD fellowship in the Digital Humanities at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK.

I am an American artist and lecturer working in sound - video installation, performance and writing (both in academic and 'art writing' forms). My work researches, from a post-feminist point of view, ways to reflect tacit interior bodily experience through making connections between art and science, touch, the body and technology.

My Research Interests:

Performative and site-specific sound art - rhythmic soundscapes using binaural and 3-D sound -art and biomedical interdisciplinary collaboration - embodiment and digital media - art practice-as-research.

My project -

Using pulse and pulsation as theme to explore the following:

- Embodied pulse and pulsation through the creation of visual and sonic art works (practiced-based arts research).

- Development of interdisciplinary collaborative projects (both locally and internationally) involving the arts, sciences and the humanities (i.e., art creation in relation to nanotechnology, neuroscience, etc).

I am looking forward to following and belonging to the Yasmin discussions community!

Yours,

Michelle Lewis-King

I'd like to share the English translation of something I wrote in my
Book "Mondes Multiples" in 1987 describing my own work with the
network:

"The image of many worlds existing in parallel is duplicated by the
artists' network.
Their interconnectedness is each artist's worldview existing in itself
but also through
its relation to other worlds which help define it. A new world
springs into existence
every time we change creative centers and regard reality from another
perspective.

The network is like colored threads running around world, with the
difference being
that they are not necessarily constant, and can be recreated, broken up and

recreated again, in never ending configurations and patterns. The
organization is
horizontal, rather than hierarchical, among equally weighted centers, an

interdependent independence. This schema of the network corresponds
nicely to the
mythological one of Indra's Net which describes the universe as a net
of pearls, in
which each pearl reflects all others. In this image we begin to find a

potential structure for future social and political relations and the
skeletal outline of
new institutional forms."

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] YASMIN discussion : Networking 5.0: Networks of Networks in Art-Science-Technology

Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for your response! I still cannot find on the Marcel site where they are using/occupying the high-speed optical networks like NLR and Internet2. Any help to find would be much appreciated. I did notice that Owen Smith is the manager- a good sign-- but no optical info.

Hello Jack

I'm sending you a final failed grant summary for an collective interactive

the world Playing attempt summary...

>From each of four Terrain Instruments within a context: Tree, Windinch
w/flow meter sensor monitorings, Box Kite strung w/.32ga stainless steel
&w/xyz sensor, and Helium filled Balloon w/suspended spy camera hovering
thge tree)... there will be four lines of information collected. All of the
data that is not the universal time code information, we can use some kind
of pick-up. The sensors will be hooked up to an Audrino... because this
platform is the standard and there is a large community for this
product...which could interconnect with mesh nets... after the Ardrino
we'll use the xBee to transmit the data to a computer that is running an
Audrino program...after the data is gathered and put into four different
audio files, one for each Terrain Instrument...the four data files are run
through our audio editing software, compressed all into one final file that
can be uploaded to Sound Cloud or be made available globally, two-way
connectable nets...on call fr/SC or x net in realtime. a/or when, from
where & what you want to hear on call...month by month..via compatible
networkings...of XYZ/sensors UTC-syncd wifi global sounds from global's
latitudes and longitudes- on your handheld or monitor via a starter

fo the possible feed forwarding or feeding back into the net,..in house

w/the lightbulb of Dr. Harald Haas, inventor of li-fi...this is an 'outer
year' summary of my ongoing sound/imaging quests...ideally the 2-way

Around the end of the Twentieth Century, I was involved in a project that did exactly what you are talking about:
http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/sre/projects/aes/
At the end of the day, the artistic results are not so interesting.
All told, it is more interesting to work with networks 'tel quel'.

Hi Roger,

I knew about Marcel-- and have just looked at their site- thanks-- However, it seems that MARCEL is AccessGrid- a multi-window software platform-- not an optical network that allows potentially jitterless communication. Jitter, for all who might ask, is an irregular delay-- Musicians regularly deal with a delay; that is why there are conductors. And here is an interesting bit of trivia: The delay between the right side of a large orchestral stage and the left side is the same as between Amsterdam and Tokyo over high-speed optical networks on the highest wave-rate level (the speed of light). (info from Cees Delaat at the U of Amsterdam)

We need to work to get this kind of high-speed optical networking to be available and not so dang hard! For more information you can go to http://www.glif.is/ and http://www.internet2.edu/

While at SC11 at the UNM booth, we had an interesting visit from representatives of Internet2. There has been an ongoing political battle between National LambdaRail and Internet2. What I heard at SC11 is that a billionaire pharmaceutic investor has either 'bought' or 'invested in NLR-- This was supposed to be a research network that is owned and managed by industry and research institutions. The U. of Texas is certainly a big player here- as is the U. of California. The Internet2 people told me they are the arts networking people. I believe that both optical networking entities are now at the same technical level.

As artists, artist-scientists, and researchers we need to harness and make available these resources.

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] YASMIN discussion : Networking 5.0: Networks of Networks in Art-Science-Technology

2011-11-24T05:49:00.000-08:00

Do you know of the marcel network headed up by Don Forresta?

http://www.mmmarcel.org/node/162

The MARCEL Network, Past & Present
MARCEL is a permanent very high band-width network dedicated to
artistic, educational and cultural experimentation, exchange between art
and science and collaboration between art and industry.

It is also a portal site for the network listing information in art,
science and industry for its members, but open to the public. MARCEL
was designed as a tool to help people move into the high bandwidth
network space with art, science and education and to claim a part of the
network space for culture.

During a meeting in Souillac, France in July 1997 a group of
international experts from art and industry agreed on the importance of
fundamental artistic research, rather than merely applied arts, in the
development of telecommunication networks. The need for collaboration
between artists, artistic establishments and the public and private
sectors in building a permanent high band-width network for artistic
experimentation was the central point of the first conference.

[Yasmin_discussions] networking 5.0

2011-11-23T13:46:00.000-08:00

Jack

yes both networked infrastructures and networked organisations are
relevant here=
since they often overlap

do you know about the Marcel network ?

http://www.mmmarcel.org/

they do a lot of infrastructure networking

one of the topics at the us national science foundation workwshop was that there
is a proliferation of infrastructure network projects - but that are
not cross linked
and duplicate effort

roger

Hello Roger and all,

Is there development of high-speed optical networking so that people
are able to meet with their data sets across oceans? Or are we
speaking here of other kinds of networking. I have read through
Roger's ongoing reports on the series of NSF Art Science workshops and
have not seen any talk about this subject. Are the storage archives
for large data sets in a cloud that is available to multiple entities?

I am convinced that our networking needs to include actual optical
connections to one another- but it is extremely difficult to get that
up and running. The problems for me have been funding and getting
people on board who have never really seen or experienced what is
possible. Our CIO is now supporting small steps so that other faculty
will be able to see with their own ideas. For Instance, UNM just did a
series of Ursonate performances over the National LambdaRail between
Supercomputing11 in Seattle and the Center for Advanced Research
Computing. We were rehearsing and working out potential problems
before a Spring Fluxus Concert between Swinburne U. of Technology,
Melbourne, and UNM. These are baby steps designed to show people
potential.

It is great to network- but we need to be able to do this without so
much physical travel. How do we make high-speed optical networking
available for a larger group of people in different communities?

Can anyone comment on this- with your own experiences?

[Yasmin_discussions] YASMIN discussion : Networking 5.0: Networks of Networks in Art-Science-Technology

2011-11-22T14:20:00.000-08:00

Networking 5.0: Networks of Networks in Art-Science-Technology

Yasminers- I would like to stimulate a discussion over the coming days
on the YASMIN DISCUSSION LIST:

http://estia.media.uoa.gr/mailman/listinfo/yasmin_discussions

about the new intense wave of developments of networks in our
art-science-technology
Community.

I have just returned from the US National Science Foundation workshop \
At the Maryland Institute College of Art on the Network for Science,
Engineering, Art and Design (NSEAD) hosted by Gunalan. Nadarajan,
a good friend of Emerging the Art-Science-Technology field.

( http://malina.diatrope.com/2011/11/12/nsf-art-science-workshop-at-maryland-institute-college-of-art-nov-14-and-15-2011/
)
<a href="( http://malina.diatrope.com/2011/11/12/nsf-art-science-workshop-at-maryland-institute-college-of-art-nov-14-and-15-2011/
) " title="MICA NSF workshop for NSEAD"></a>

The last time I worked with Gunalan was at the REFRESH conference at
Banff in Canada when with Oliver Grau, Sara Diamond, Annick Bureaud,
Susan Kennard and an international committee we organized the first
International Conference on Histories of the Media Arts, Sciences
and Technology in 2005 :

(http://www.banffcentre.ca/bnmi/programs/archives/2005/refresh/lisiten.asp ),
<a href="(http://www.banffcentre.ca/bnmi/programs/archives/2005/refresh/lisiten.asp
)," title="refresh"></a>

The network that was initiated at that conference has continued to self mobilize
With the latest conference being held in Liverpool
(http://www.rewireconference2011.org/about/)

One of the outcomes from this conference at FACT was a manifesto
organized by Oliver
Grau, Sean Cubitt and Ross Harley which has now been signed by over
100 members of our community:

http://www.mediaarthistory.org
<a href="http://www.mediaarthistory.org " title="manifesto"></a>

which has as its goals :

Goals
a.) Establish international and sustainable funding structures
Therefore it is essential to establish international and sustainable
funding structures that can guarantee the persistence of
these valuable resources, and to make use of networked collaboration
to archive key data in a cooperative process of knowledge
transfer between artists, institutions and researchers internationally. ..

b.) Supporting an International Association/Institution for Shared Data
We urgently need global networked collaboration in Media Art research
across the aforementioned networks.
We need as many bridges into society as possible: archives,
conferences, text repositories, collective database
documentation, and preservation

You can sign the manifesto at : http://www.mediaarthistory.org/
<a href="http://www.mediaarthistory.org/" title="manifesto"></a>

This week at the MICA workshop the group (following the work of several other
Workshops between the US National Science Foundation and the US National
Endowment for the Arts ) concluded that a new Network for Science- Engineering-
Art- Design was needed as an advocacy organization for the emerging fields of
Science/Engineering- Art/Design Practice.

The week before I participated in a conference at IKAS-ARTS in Bilabo on the
Invitation of Natxo Rodriguez:

(http://www.ikas-art.com/ )
<a href="http://www.ikas-art.com/" title="ikas"></a>

It is a network of 11 art and design schools in Spain, France and
internationally

IKAS-ART IS AN ART ENCOUNTER FOR UNIVERSITIES. FINE ARTS FACULTIES
FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD SHOW THEIR STUDENTS' WORK.

There was discussion there of how this network could bid for funding
as a European
Creative Regions.

An initiative Regional Studies Association Research Network on
Creative Regions in Europe is another
network that includes members of our community:

<a href="http://www.creative-regions.eu/" title="creative
regions">http://www.creative-regions.eu/</a>

We seem to have emerged in a new wave of institution building in art-science-
Technology and 'networks' is where the action (and the funding is) !!

There have been a number of 'waves' that historians such as Eddie Shanken
have described of the kinds of institutions that have been build to
bridge our creative communities
( Bauhaus, EAT/CAVS.., Media Lab/Ars/V2…. ISEA was founded in 1990,
YASMIN was created in 2000 HASTAC,…….).

I guess my question is: are we entering an era of new ways that we
organize ourselves ?
Are we now in the era of 'networks of networks"? Operating networks
takes larges amount of time and resources.
How does a sustainable 'network of networks" organize itself (do we
follow the power Law of many scale free networks
as described by complex network science, ( with amazon and google
dominating the rest ? ) See Barabasi Scale-Free Networks: A Decade
and Beyond. :

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/325/5939/412.full
<a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/325/5939/412.full "
title="complex"></a>

Or are we creating a dense network with a different structure that
doesn't follow a
Power law see Matthias Scholz ?

http://www.network-science.org/similaritymodel.html
<a href="http://www.network-science.org/similaritymodel.html"
title="non scale free"></a>

Or does the long tail have the real impact ?

On the YASMIN list we have many people who have set up and participated in
Networks in art/science/technology . It would be great to have some
discussion of the new systems we are
Building and how we design them to really do what we want.

See you on YASMIN

[Yasmin_discussions] Leuphana Arts Program Symposium 16-18 November 2011

2011-11-09T05:02:00.000-08:00

Dear Yasminers,

please find enclosed some information about the forthcoming "art/
science" conference at the University of Lüneburg (near Hambourg) and
which heralds the start of the new Leuphania Arts Programm. It echoes
some of the discussions about art & academia which we have had on
this list.

Cheers,

Jens

__________________________________________________

Leuphana Arts Program -Symposium

Degrees of Freedom. Art Programs at Universities

Leuphana University Lüneburg/Germany
16 - 18 November 2011

Universities are sites of research and of teaching. They are
sometimes also home to artistic practice. The symposium "Degrees of
Freedom. Art Programs at Universities" explores the roles and
potentials of art programs at universities, both for artists and for
the universities themselves.

Experts from different fields and institutional contexts discuss
historical examples of specific programs, experiences and incidents
from different countries. A particular focus will be placed on the
different ways in which the artistic practice is integrated into
university structures. The symposium asks, firstly, how universities
can foster and support artistic work and how artists can best benefit
from the university setting. Secondly, we will discuss the role of
artistic practice in the university and explore the potential of art
practice for a research and teaching institution. Thirdly, we will be
looking at concepts like agency, knowledge, creativity, etc., and
debate how their different connotations in art, science, research and
teaching can be brought into a fruitful dialogue.

The symposium "Degrees of Freedom" will prepare and inaugurate the
new "Leuphana Arts Program" through which Leuphana University will,
in the coming years, bring artists into the university. The work of
artists is based on forms of querying, of searching and exploring,
which are comparable to scientific research, even if they don't
subscribe to the same expectations about objectivity and truth.
Artistic research is aimed at strategically broadening and deepening
knowledge that is not ancillary to an individual project, but that
forms an integral part of an artistic practice. In dialogue with
scientific partners, artistic research can spark important innovative
impulses for the sciences by systematically questioning their
thematic, methodological and epistemological preconceptions.
The relationship between art, science and the humanities is not new
but has been evolving, in its modern Western form, ever since the
Renaissance. However, the conditions under which the dialogue between
these different fields takes place have changed dramatically over the
past century. It is therefore timely to investigate how new feedback
mechanisms might be constructed through which emerging forms of
knowledge and creativity in the arts or in the sciences can be
brought to bear on each other. At the same time, the changes that we
can observe may make it necessary for institutions - like
universities and art schools - to transform and reinvent themselves.
The Leuphana Arts Program serves to integrate art into the university
as a practice, as a form of knowledge and a form of discourse. The
Leuphana Arts Program focuses on the development of artistic
projects. It supports them in the interdisciplinary environment of
the university. The impulses for the evolving interdisciplinary
dialogues come from the artists who are regarded not as mere
'innovative disruptors', but as researchers and developers in their
own right.
LAP seeks to create friction and energy between the different areas
of artistic, scientific and social practice. It is a laboratory, a
site for people working in the crossover zones of artistic
production. Its work is oriented towards open processes rather than
towards finished products. The symposium will address the university
as a context for artistic exploration.

Symposium participants include: Jens Hauser (Ruhr Universität
Bochum), Irène Hediger (Swiss Artists-in-Labs, ZhdK Zurich), Sarat
Maharaj (Lund University), Pierre Guillet de Monthoux (Copenhagen
Business School), Sally-Jane Norman (Attenborough Centre for the

[Yasmin_discussions] Appsterdam Weekend-Long Party

2011-10-31T06:01:00.000-07:00

You might be wondering how Appsterdam, the movement to establish the world capital of App Makers in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, is going. Given the world-class, weekend-long, city-wide party planned to answer that question, signs point to "pretty good."

The weekend-long party will not only serve to report on the progress of the movement and its future direction, but with a carefully selected stable of speakers and venues, will feature a veritable who's who and where's where of the booming local tech scene.

As App Makers arrive in the city or close out their work week on Friday, they'll gather at Cafe Bax in Amsterdam's up-and-coming Old West neighborhood for Meeten en Drinken. This weekly gathering (usually 19:00 on Wednesdays) brings together engineers, designers, business people, marketeers, and others to talk about apps and the craft of making them.

"This time around the drinks are being paid for by Microsoft," Appsterdam COO and party chair Klaas Speller said. "So this is not only your chance to meet App Makers, it's your chance to have a drink on the Empire."

On Saturday Appsterdam's Founder and Mayor Mike Lee will once again take the stage with a stable of special guests to deliver an inspirational keynote. This weekend's keynote will be at one of Amsterdam's cherished landmark tech venues, Pakhuis de Zwijger.

The 90-minute address will feature the world premier of the "space pirate" movie, a 10-minute short film produced by Appsterdam's film department. The director's cut was a cult hit at some tech conferences this summer. Mayor Lee, who wrote and stars in the film, describes it as a fictionalized account of the founding of Appsterdam.

"We have to call it fictionalized because 'farcicalized' isn't a word," said Lee. "I cannot overstate how ridiculous this movie is."

The keynote and screening will be the featured events of the Appsterdam 2 Launch Party, with venue, drinks, and snacks provided by sponsors Sogeti and IceMobile. While a networking event in its own right, the limited space and high profile promises to make it a spectacle.

"I can say without reservation that if you miss this weekend's Appsterdam 2 Launch Party Weekend, you're missing the nerd party of the year," Mayor Lee wrote on his blog, http://mur.mu.rs/.

The original Appsterdam Launch Party Weekend rather famously featured guided tours of the city. This weekend's launch party was specifically planned around Museumnacht, the first Saturday in November, the only night when Amsterdam's famed museums stay open, turning the city into one of the biggest multi-venue, multi-genre nerd parties in the world.

In addition to Museumnacht, there are any number of ways for App Makers to entertain themselves in Amsterdam, not the least of which is the Amsterdam Film Week, which has donated tickets for App Makers in the city this weekend.

If that all sounds like something fun for people of all ages, it should be. The Appsterdam 2 Launch Party Weekend, like the entire Appsterdam movement, aims to promote family-friendly Amsterdam as the best place in the world for technologists and their families.

As Chief Community Officer Judy Chen explains, "You might choose not to bring the kids to the bar on Friday, but you'll definitely want to bring them, and something to share, to the potluck brunch at Boven de Balie on Sunday, as App Makers and their families get together like we do every other weekend."

Just as the architecture of the Boven de Balie illustrates the past-meets-future ethos that makes Amsterdam unique, Appsterdam Family Weekends illustrate the key difference between Appsterdam and Silicon Valley. While the Valley and its many imitators focus on startups and venture capital, Appsterdam's founders take a holistic approach.

"There's no one key to the 'Hollywood of Apps,'" Mayor Lee explains. "It's an ecosystem, made of many interconnected parts. Appsterdam isn't another Valley, it's an alternative to the Valley and the materialistic lifestyle. Appsterdam is about friends and families, community and cooperation, technology and tolerance."

People interested in apps and the people who make them can learn more about the worldwide Appsterdam movement by visiting the Appsterdammers at http://appsterdam.rs/ or by visiting the event-specific meetup sites.

Hi Simon

Yes, the two books of - Herbert Marcus and MCLUHAN's "understanding media"
were published in the same year of 1964 controlled from above by Telstar a
medium-altitude privately-sponsored space satellite, launched 1n-1962
&1963.

We are the offspring of one-dimensional media driven man.

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Kittler

2011-10-21T16:46:00.000-07:00

N is now for neighbor to neighbor

I liked this man, and for me, one particular title filled-in unknown
information from a favorite writer. F. A. Kittler's "Gramophone, Film,
Typewriter" coalesced the basic cross-referrencing hardware necessary to
achieve analog's scripted sound broadcasting, talking pictures and news
reels shown in movie theaters.
These precision recording prototypes allowed an imagination on rush beyond
vaudevilles repetitious acts. Thus, heralding aspects of models that remain
sustained in our culture. Commercial packaging allowed mogul entrepreneurs
to delight, sell and fulfill listener's expectant "eyes" and ears- their
personal "radio pictures" from various themes and scenarios.
The subsequent base line was the United States Naval Observatory's hourly
time signal which synced scripted and aurally cued entertainments, and all
were based upon a nationwide service, via Western Union Telegraph and AT&T
telephone lines, for the benefit of all analog broadcasting.
However, natural radio has forever been in our global background.
Except for researchers like Karl Jansky- and the human generations of
monitors who have done data gathering- there are the ubiquitous handhelds,
as from Apple. Their packaging requirements have been aggressively upgraded,
and nano-based, attractive, and obvious universal-apps/uses.
Tele-communictive toll road customer options have quadruppled. Technology
has never been the point. Creative people and their one-to-one achieved
products will globally permit interactive generations to monitor- in
realtime- every sound and image-mirrorings for the common good of all
"Global Villages."
We'll expect natural radio's sounds and imaging ASAP.

Hello ricardo,
Happy that my message has got an interest for another center of the global village.
Up to McLuhan, in the global village there is no more center and peripheric places but equal centers that interact together.
Interesting no ?
To answer about Marx and the reading by McLuhan, the only thing I read from him is that he notes that Marx should have concentrated his refelexions on electric technologies that organize the future of our civilizations rather than the mechanical production that represents the past organization. He thinks that Marx's struggle could have been stronger in consideration of these changes, that also put changes on the work and what, where it is, and how it is organized, what are the structures, and where is the richness.
that's all I am able to say, but maybe some people have some ideas.
Feel free to exchange more

Re: [Yasmin_discussions] MCLUHAN EFFECT

2011-10-20T07:18:00.000-07:00

Thank you Collete and Simon:

In the chapter 13 , "Machinery and great industry", Karl Mark talk
about the machine, making description about the parts of the machine
and the role of the man in this proccess. Im trying to make
connections between Marx and Mcluhan, because when I was reading "The
Ccapital", always Mcluhan comes to my mind. Specially if we think in
the context of new technologies, and the ""digital machines".
Im in Barcelona, I hope I will go to Les effets McLuhan i Aix-en-Provence.
Best.

Hello:
A small presentation aout me. My name is Ricardo Vega, from Santiago
de Chile. Now I`m in Barcelona to study DataViz. i worked during 6
years in the Spanish Cultural Center in Santiago, coordinating new
media, design and digital culture area, developing conferences,
workshops, meetings, etc.

Thank you for you interesting words Colette. Just a question:
Does somebody knows if Mcluhan had readed or taken in consideration
some ideas in Karl Marx's Capital?
Where I can find information about this topic?

thank yo so much, Best

Friedrich Kittler died yesterday, 18 October 2011, in Berlin.

"Nobody listens to radio. What loudspeakers or headsets provide for
their users is always just radio programming, never radio itself. Only
in emergencies, when broadcasts are interrupted, announcers' voices
dry up or stations drift away from their proper frequencies, are there
any moments at all to hear what radio listening could be about." -

yasminers

I am transfering this post from the yasmin announcement list to the yasmin
\discusssion list as it seems to me very relevant to our MCLUHAN EFFECTS
discussion

Concerning the discussion about how every new media technologies
engages new responsibilities- one of the way that this comes about
is through feedback loops

take a look at

http://www.artisopensource.net/2011/10/16/versus-rome-october-15th-the-riots-on-social-networks/

New kinds of feedback loops are now being created between individual action and
collective action- knowing what the group is doing feeds back into
personal behaviour
with new timescales

right now this example was done after the fact- but we can now imagine
this being
fed back in on short time constants

The Physics of the City group calls this " egovernance' mechanisms
Concluding,
essentially our E-governance system is composed of a large data base, of one
or more centers that can collect real time microscopic data, elaborate models
based on the individual mobility demand, find the optimal self-organized
mobility states and diffuse the relative information (best path dynamical map)
along the mobility network performing a bidirectional continuous interaction
with the citizens. ( Armando Bazzani, Bruno Giorgini and Sandro Rambaldi,

You can only be rersponsible when you know the consequences of your
actions- new mechanisms
for new responsibilities are being put in place

http://www.artisopensource.net/2011/10/16/versus-rome-october-15th-the-riots-on-social-networks/

Rome, Oct. 15th, 2011

This short video displays the activity on social networks (Twitter,
Facebook, Foursquare) during the riots of October 15th which took place in
Rome during the local instance of the 15th October initiative created in the
planetary process started by the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The peaks and contours you see represent the intensity of the communication
and conversations that was taking place from the start of the protest (at
3pm local time) up until its approximate end (at 8pm local time).
The animation shows the geo-referenced intensity of messages for each 30
minute time slot from the beginning to the end of the protest.

It is time to invent new, innovative, creative forms of protest, fostering
new forms of solidarity, collaboration, participation between people, and
also to create tools, strategies and methodologies to bypass and overcome
the tricks which power structures and the people and organizations which we
want to fight against have learned to perform so well to dismantle and make
disappear all the good parts of the critique coming from the peaceful
protesters.

What we suggest is to create new forms of protest. Which do not look
anything like these current ones.

These and other topics will be discussed at the Share Festival and at the
FabLab Italia during the first week of November 2011, where we will present
the "VersuS" project.

VersuS is a spin-off of the ConnectiCity project, and is intended to create
tools that enable us to imagine, design and create new tools for the city.

[Yasmin_discussions] MCLUHAN EFFECT

2011-10-16T06:17:00.000-07:00

from colette tron

> - Topic 2 : A cultural and technological challenge, the business of the artists
>
For McLuhan, but I guess for thinking in general of the relation
between the man and technology, each invention and introduction of a
technology in the society, in the every day life creates such a
transformation that it makes some kind of revolution : on the sensory
system, nervous system, perception, cognition sensitivity…

These influences and consequences have been treated on different
levels by the anthropologist Leroy-Ghouran, the sociologist Gilbert
Simondon, the scientist Jean-Pierre Changeux, the philosopher Bernard
Stiegler, etc, only for France, and of course by McLuhan,

and after him in the field of neuroculture and neuroaesthetic by
Derrick de Kerckhove who was his associate.
McLuhan considered the technologies as « extensions of man ». So, as
prosthesis, medias and machines are, up to him, a part of the body.

And he even thought that sooner or later the medias would be under the
skin. That means inside us. The augmented man has thus artificial
organs that can be the computer, the clothes, the television,
writing, sensors, and so on, technologies that make the environment
and the culture of body and mind.

He wrote that « the new medias and new technologies through which we
amplify and extand ourselves are huge operations on the social body »
and that « this is the whole system that undergoes a transformation. »
Each new one moves the intersensory relations. And thus, the cultural
habits.

To understand the medias, and its effects, McLuhan (wrote his book of
course, but) argued a certain distance with them. A distance to
perceive the changes, to dominate the moves, to diminish the impact or
the shock, and to think the future of the civilisation. To accept the
challenge of technological and cultural changes, McLuhan trust the
artists.

In the human history, the critic or the adaptation to the new
extensions of man in the private and social life have not been made
easily except by the consciousness of the artists, said McLuhan : «
The artist is able to capture the message of the cultural and
technological challenge a long time before the impact of the
transformation can be felt. »
>
Maybe we can have commentary and exchange about some propositions by
McLuhan about the important role of the artists in the changes of
culture through media and technologies, and their place
inexperimentation, research, science and society, or social body in
the words of McLuhan. A place that McLuhan defended instead of
considering art as entertainment. « I would like to know what would
happen if suddenly we take art for what it is really. »

In the chapter « The challenge and the fall » (Understanding medias)
here are some of the McLuhan's sentences (approximative translation) :
« In the age of electricity, it is nothing to talk about the artists
as persons that anticipate their era. Our technology is also ahead to
our time, if we accept to see it as it is. The artist has to leave his
ivory tower to go to the control tower of the society, in order to
avoid the accident… Like there is the university for the scientific
organization of knowledge, the artist is essential for the direction,
the analyze, the understanding of the forms and structures of life
created by the electric technology. »

> - « In all fields, the one of the science and the one of the humanities, the artist is a man that understand the meaning of his action and of the knowledge of his era. He is the man of the global lucidity. »
> - « The artist can compensate for the sensory relations before the shock of a new technology anaesthetize the conscient modes of action… If people could be convinced that art is a way to know in advance and precisely the psychologic and social effects of the next technology, won't they make themselves artists ? Or would
> applie themeselves to translate new forms or art into a social navigation map ? »

> - « Experimental art gives information to mankind with accuracy on the following attacks on their mind that will procure their own technologies… These parts of ourselves that we project outside of us under the form of inventions are some attempts to compensate some collective pressure. But the medicine can generate a bigger
pain. Here the artist can learn to us to absorb the knock. »

In a certain part of this chapter, Mc Luhan notices that if we
continue to consider the extensions of the body as external and
independant from us, we will fall down on each « banana skin of the
technology ». So we have to keep awake and to pay attention to it.
With the help of artists, we should manage to take up the challenge.

In this framework, I would like to imagine which function can take
art and artists in the process of research and invention, innovation,
creation ? Since and after electric age, what kind of relation between
art and science, technology and culture, have been made and can be
constitued for the future ?

> Is technology a « pharmakon » (cf B.Stiegler) and how the artistic consciousness can interfere, alert, awake the society ? Is it the role of art to comprehend sensitive changes in order to take care of it or to shock by representing new sensory situations ?

> How can art and science can collaborate to create a « good » technology and a safe and sustainable society ? How to respect body and mind in the conception of

Hi, Yasminers,

I am Sandra Alvaro from Barcelona. I am artist and master in
philosophy of culture and contemporary art theory.
Now I am working in my PhD research about New Media art and the
redefinition of urban space. I focus specially on the new hybrid space
generated by ubiquitous computing and the relations between art, new
public sphere and the perception of physical architectonic space of
the city.

Glad to join the discussion.

[Yasmin_discussions] Art and Tekne Field in The International Journal of McLuhan Studies

2011-10-13T14:45:00.000-07:00

Dear Yasminers,

After the conference McLuhan Galaxy in Barcelona organized by the
Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3), Universidad Oberta de
Catalunya (UOC) in Barcelona, May 2011 we are developing a new project:
/The International Journal of McLuhan Studies/, under the scientific
direction of Derrick de Kerckhove and Eric McLuhan.

This initiative is starting in the wake of the debate around McLuhan's
thought in the conferences, seminars and various events organized
worldwide for the McLuhan centennial (1911-2011), in which McLuhan
Galaxy was one of the highlights. This journal aims to continue this
debate and to promote international, interdisciplinary and innovative
critical writing stimulated by the immense contribution of this author.

The International Journal of McLuhan Studies is structured according to
different sections and fields, being one of them related to art. In this
sense, we are pleased to announce the first issue that is soon going to
be published and presented in the conference McLuhan 100. Then, Now,
Next that is going to take place in Toronto, on November 7h-10th.

The Journal's editors (Emanuela Patti and Matteo Ciastellardi) proposed
to develop a different concept. Instead of asking an expert to review a
book from a traditional approach in which the reviewer develops analysis
according to a set of criteria, in this case, the reviewer is asked to
answer a few questions (probes in McLuhan's terminology) around one
book. For each book there are going to be three interviews.

For this first issue the book selected to be reviewed is Counterblast
and the interviewed are Stephen Kovats, Elaine Brodie and myself.

Hoping this is useful information to all of you.

Best wishes,

Cristina Miranda de Almeida
Art and Tekné Field
The International Journal of McLuhan Studies

2011-10-13T07:40:00.000-07:00

Thanks a lot Marcelo
For this proposition and for attached text.
Finnegans Wake was a central reference for McLuhan.
For many reasons. The incredible intelligence of the use of language by Joyce, and also for the metaphorical Dublin as a city-world or the world in a city.
A non linear and global approach, or perception, of the functionning of the world, the human being, the brain.
Joyce was so modern and antic !
And McLuhan, about alphabetic writing and lecture, compared the occidental way of linearity, sequences, time, to ideography or hyerogliph that are an abstract representation of ideas but instantaneous, non linear and global. Here are different kinds of perception and vision of the world. Then, he comes back to the electric age and its medias to say that the civilisation that comes is closer to this system than to typography. A sort of revolution for knowledge.
And for McLuhan, the artists are the one that are able to perceive first the changes in mind and sensibilty, and to represent it, he also had an analyse about cubism : the representation of simultaneity of points of view in one painting is not only linked to the art history and its phases but also to the technologies around and its consequences that artists can see. He thought that instantaneity and simultaneity of electricity have been reproduced in artistic representation.

> The diegetic démarche of the Irish James Joyce, its Finnegans Wake, inaugurates an unheard experience. The words called as portmanteau that Eisenstein (1942) perceived in Lewis Carroll and that are the substance of Wake (Attrige, 1992), actuate as centrifugal and selftranslating vocables, just identical to themselves. In other words, the written work splinters syntactical and semantic edges to create what McLuhan (1962) calls a constellation of events or his galaxy. By the way, McLuhan himself, a reader committed to Joyce, noticed in his language the wider system of knowledge and human perception storage (McLuhan, 2003). As an effect of such narrative of no conventional and logical structure, there was a notation system – in an apparent way – even arbitrary. And when we say "in apparent word", we mean: there are almost forty languages (Derrida, 1987) present in Finnegans Wake, the legend of Tristan and Isolde, Giambattista Vico, Lucifer, Rome,
> Noah. Thus, besides the strange graphical plasticity of neologisms and onomatopoeias (riverrun and Brékkek Kékkek Kékke!), we see interpretative possibilities. Gutenberg's printing technology understood the alphabet as its culture medium. The written phonetic word, extension of human capacities, circumscribed some experience space (McLuhan, 1964). The visual galaxy originated by the typography, oriented by perceptive habits (linearity and associative pattern, for example), recognizes only the codex or the set of language prescriptions. As for the electrical galaxy, when it causes the implosion of Euclid orthogonality, it also redesigns the space of experience. Thus we ask: can a printed book anticipate the electricity age (McLuhan, 1962)? Would it be possible to verify, from a reading of Joyce book, the coexistence of perception status (ibidem)? Then, we say that Finnegans Wake language is the creation of a completely new cognitive environment,

Finnegans Wake's intergalaxy

The diegetic démarche of the Irish James Joyce, its Finnegans Wake, inaugurates an unheard experience. The words called as portmanteau that Eisenstein (1942) perceived in Lewis Carroll and that are the substance of Wake (Attrige, 1992), actuate as centrifugal and selftranslating vocables, just identical to themselves. In other words, the written work splinters syntactical and semantic edges to create what McLuhan (1962) calls a constellation of events or his galaxy. By the way, McLuhan himself, a reader committed to Joyce, noticed in his language the wider system of knowledge and human perception storage (McLuhan, 2003). As an effect of such narrative of no conventional and logical structure, there was a notation system – in an apparent way – even arbitrary. And when we say "in apparent word", we mean: there are almost forty languages (Derrida, 1987) present in Finnegans Wake, the legend of Tristan and Isolde, Giambattista Vico, Lucifer, Rome,
Noah. Thus, besides the strange graphical plasticity of neologisms and onomatopoeias (riverrun and Brékkek Kékkek Kékke!), we see interpretative possibilities. Gutenberg's printing technology understood the alphabet as its culture medium. The written phonetic word, extension of human capacities, circumscribed some experience space (McLuhan, 1964). The visual galaxy originated by the typography, oriented by perceptive habits (linearity and associative pattern, for example), recognizes only the codex or the set of language prescriptions. As for the electrical galaxy, when it causes the implosion of Euclid orthogonality, it also redesigns the space of experience. Thus we ask: can a printed book anticipate the electricity age (McLuhan, 1962)? Would it be possible to verify, from a reading of Joyce book, the coexistence of perception status (ibidem)? Then, we say that Finnegans Wake language is the creation of a completely new cognitive environment,
suspended between two galaxies: thus, intergalactic.

« Roots have spread out from the Tree of the Great Peace,
one to the north, one to the east, one to the south and one to
the west. The name of these roots is The Great White Roots and
their nature is Peace and Strength.
If any man or any nation outside the Five Nations shall
obey the laws of the Great Peace and make known their
disposition to the Lords of the Confederacy, they may trace the
Roots to the Tree and if their minds are clean and they are
obedient and promise to obey the wishes of the Confederate
Council, they shall be welcomed to take shelter beneath the
Tree of the Long Leaves.
We place at the top of the Tree of the Long Leaves an
Eagle who is able to see afar. If he sees in the distance any
evil approaching or any danger threatening he will at once warn
the people of the Confederacy. »
