i prefer to push for what i believe is possible
|
[13:01] |
<cinader> |
even if i only accomplish it in part
|
[13:01] |
<Surd> |
Basically the article anticipates a recapitulation
of colonialism in the electrosphere. |
[13:01] |
<tombell> |
if you think something is impossible it is!

***dirk has joined #defib
|
[13:02] |
<cinader> |
certainly many signs point to that |
[13:02] |
<cinader> |
and i struggle against it |
[13:02] |
<Surd> |
Well hello there Dirk! |
[13:02] |
<cinader> |
pacifica radio also seems like an impossiblity
|
[13:02] |
<dirk> |
hi |
[13:02] |
<tombell> |
hi, dirk |
[13:02] |
<cinader> |
yet wbai has existed for more than thirty years
|
[13:02] |
<cinader> |
with no corporate sponsorship of any kind
|
[13:02] |
<Surd> |
Yes, those Pacifica stations are important.
|
[13:03] |
<cinader> |
i believe it is my responsibility to reach beyond
a corporate |
[13:03] |
<cinader> |
model of "the web" |
[13:03] |
<tombell> |
say more, martha |
[13:04] |
<tombell> |
how? |
[13:04] |
<Surd> |
Cool. Same here. But you also are not alergic
to commercial elements in your site... you combine a non corporate
with a commercial dimension. |
[13:04] |
<cinader> |
that's true, searching for a way to pay....
|
[13:04] |
<cinader> |
will probably remove the banner ads soon
|
[13:04] |
<cinader> |
because i don't think they pay enough!
|
[13:04] |
<Surd> |
And to integrate into the biz of the Web?
|
[13:05] |
<tombell> |
i keep the ads as it seems probably 'ads' underlie
everything today |
[13:05] |
<cinader> |
yeah, yeah, yeah, i want to sell my cds like
everyone else |
[13:05] |
<cinader> |
and i'm a single mother who loves the convenience
|
[13:05] |
<cinader> |
of shopping on the web |
[13:05] |
<Surd> |
I am not criticizing, Martha, |
[13:05] |
<cinader> |
but all that is kind of insignificant
|
[13:05] |
<cinader> |
i want to set up huge video screens |
[13:06] |
<Surd> |
Sufi's say 'Easier to be a sage on the mountaintop
than in the marketplace.' |
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
get a bunch of kids off the street |
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
put them in the theater and let them collaborate
|
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
with kids around the world |
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
make the corporations pay for it |
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
and not even let them put up any billboards
|
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
they owe it to the next generation |
[13:06] |
<cinader> |
in my estimation |
[13:07] |
<cinader> |
"didn't interpret it as criticism" just trying
to get beyond the browser |
[13:07] |
<Surd> |
Yes, providing some vision and direction for
the future of the Web is important. |
[13:08] |
<Surd> |
I see our Web sites and Web activities as being
directed, in part, to that end. |
[13:08] |
<cinader> |
that's true, they certainly play an integral
and crucial role |
[13:08] |
<Surd> |
Toward soul therein... |
[13:09] |
<cinader> |
? please elaborate tom |
[13:11] |
<Surd> |
I think Tom is multitasking 8-) |
[13:11] |
<tombell> |
on? Everything today occurs in the media of
ads - coke ads in africa |
[13:11] |
|

[13:16] |
<mezzie> |
so where r we up to in the chat? |
[13:16] |
<Surd> |
Tom was talking about the place of ads in everything
|
[13:16] |
<cinader> |
looking toward the horizon |
[13:17] |
<mezzie> |
righte, sounds n-teresting, specially the horizon
byte;) |
[13:17] |
<tombell> |
ads are everywhere - need to be conscious of
them |
[13:18] |
|
***Jim2 is now known as Other
|
[13:18] |
<cinader> |
yes, you might say they run our lives
|
[13:18] |
<cinader> |
they fund our art |
[13:18] |
<tombell> |
coke in africa and the louve in Vegas
|
[13:18] |
<mezzie> |
tombell, do u mean they're n-sid.e.uoz becoz
of this? meaning they may taint artistic practice? |
[13:19] |
|
***Other is now known as Guest47928
|
[13:19] |
<cinader> |
well, artists shit too |
[13:19] |
<tombell> |
no not taint art but art can use them
|
[13:19] |
<cinader> |
excuse my language |
[13:19] |
<mezzie> |
cinader>;) |
[13:19] |
<cinader> |
can we define the world wide web |
[13:19] |
<cinader> |
instead of art? |
[13:19] |
|
***Guest47928 is now known as jimorca

<cinader> |
get beyond banner ads |
[13:20] |
<cinader> |
to multi-media tele-theater |
[13:20] |
<mezzie> |
so it's a process of appropraition? reappropriation
etc [n-sert m-mage of a snake eatin itz taile]... |
[13:20] |
<cinader> |
without billboards |
[13:20] |
<cinader> |
or even with billboards |
[13:20] |
<cinader> |
i don't actually care that much |
[13:20] |
<mezzie> |
cinader--wot an n-triguin ideer! can u say more?
|
[13:21] |
<cinader> |
would love to go on all day about it
|
[13:21] |
<cinader> |
picture two theaters |
[13:21] |
<cinader> |
two audiences |
[13:21] |
<cinader> |
four video screens |
[13:21] |
<cinader> |
twenty televisions |
[13:21] |
<cinader> |
a script written by collaboration on the internet
|
[13:22] |
<cinader> |
two casts |
[13:22] |
<cinader> |
streaming over www2 |
[13:22] |
<cinader> |
maybe you would need a few windows open in your
browser |
[13:22] |
<cinader> |
to spy on the live event from your pc
|
[13:22] |
<cinader> |
from a few different camera angles |
[13:22] |
<mezzie> |
so streamin the whole process/ jump cutz 2 the
audience lookin stunned etc?;) |
[13:23] |
<cinader> |
that could happen |
[13:23] |
<cinader> |
i would have a camera on each audience
|
[13:23] |
<cinader> |
have them participate like a greek chorus
|
[13:23] |
<cinader> |
see each other |
[13:23] |
<cinader> |
wave at each other |
[13:23] |
<cinader> |
talk to each other before or after the performance
|
[13:24] |
|
*Surd powders his good side
|
[13:24] |
<cinader> |
chuckle |
[13:24] |
<dirk> |
cool! would require plenty of $ though
|
[13:25] |
<mezzie> |
so the x-perience wood x-tend from the real-life
purrformance net.wurk tendrilled thru the net.work of the web?
|
[13:25] |
<cinader> |
yeah, i estimate about a quarter million for
one event |
[13:25] |
<dirk> |
wow! |
[13:25] |
<Surd> |
Martha has been involved in a lot of the e-poet
multicast events. |
[13:25] |
<cinader> |
yeah, mez, exactly |
[13:25] |
<mezzie> |
jeez... |
[13:26] |
<cinader> |
yeah, the e-poets are building a great network
|
[13:26] |
<Surd> |
Could you describe the basics of those events?
|
[13:26] |
<cinader> |
i've also worked with/been inspired by oceanofk.org
|
[13:27] |

hey! |
[13:27] |
<cinader> |
hi kurt, right on time! |
[13:27] |
<Surd> |
Hi Kurt, Jim here, good to have you here.
|
[13:27] |
<kheintz> |
Sorry for missing anything... but my ears were
burning. |
[13:27] |
<kheintz> |
Thanks, Jim. |
[13:28] |
<Surd> |
Kurt masterminds e-poets.net |
[13:28] |
<cinader> |
yeah, i was talking about my vision of a tele-play
|
[13:28] |
<cinader> |
and the beautiful network you are building
|
[13:28] |
<kheintz> |
where there are performers in two sites at the
same time? |
[13:28] |
<kheintz> |
Oh, well... you add quite a bit to it, Martha.
|
[13:28] |
<cinader> |
yes, with audience participation |
[13:28] |
<kheintz> |
Audience is king. |
[13:28] |
<cinader> |
i wrote a color coded script for such an event
at missionoflove.com |
[13:29] |
<cinader> |
the website, would of course be crucial
|
[13:29] |
<cinader> |
but not the end in itself |
[13:29] |
<kheintz> |
Martha's a pioneer in this work, I feel, because
she's very audience-centered. |
[13:29] |
<Surd> |
Are transcripts or archives involved in this
vision, Martha? |
[13:29] |
<kheintz> |
too many people just push, push, push... it's
all about visibility and no dialog. |
