November on -empyre-
-empyre- takes pleasure in introducing our next guests and theme--
November 2002 - Virtual Construction
Please join us for a wide ranging discussion on the possibilities of virtual
construction as viral and pandemic with Joseph Nechvatal, electronic media
animator/painter/philosopher; and, later in the month, as identity and
network with Gregory Little, an electronic media artist whose art engages
issues of avatar and immersion.
Transmedia artist and philospher Joseph Nechvatal engages "viractuality"
(occasions where the virtual and the actual merge), and tests the grounds
for a technological and erotic aesthetic of virtuality. Electronic media
artist, writer and editor Gregory Little explores constructions of identity
in networked virtual environments as an artistic medium, while focusing on
issues related to consensual identity, avatars (avatara), being inside-out,
abjection, hierarchies and the "Body w/o Organs", and the post-human.
Viractualism with Joseph Nechvatal November 1-15 & Avatar Manifesos with
Gregory Little November 15 -30
join us at --empyre forum-- <http://www.subtle.net/empyre>
****************************************************************************
---> Dr. Joseph Nechvatal has worked with ubiquitous electronic visual
information and computer-robotics since 1986. Dr. Nechvatal earned his Ph.D.
in the philosophy of art and new technology with The Centre for Advanced
Inquiry in the Interactive Arts (CAiiA) . He served as Parisian editor for
rhizome between 1996-2001 and now writes regularly for The THING , NY ARTS
and Zing. He presently teaches Theories of Virtual Reality at the School of
Visual Arts in New York City. His computer-robotic assisted paintings and
computer animations are shown regularly in galleries and museums throughout
the world. From 1991-3 he worked as artist-in-resident at the Louis Pasteur
Atelier and the Saline Royale / Ledoux Foundation's computer
lab in Arbois, France on 'The Computer Virus Project': an experiment with
computer viruses as a creative stratagem. Dr. Nechvatal has exhibited his
work widely in Europe and the United States, both in private and public
venues. He is collected by the Los Angeles County Museum, the Moderna
Musset in Stockholm, Sweden and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Dr.
Nechvatal's work was included in Documenta 8>. He is a founder of the Tellus
Audio Art Project (http://www.harvestworks.org/tellus/tellus.html) and
served as conference coordinator for the 1st International CAiiA Research
Conference entitled "CONSCIOUSNESS REFRAMED: Art and Consciousness in the
Post-Biological Era" (5 & 6 July 1997); an international conference which
looked at new developments in art, science, technology and consciousness
which was held at the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts,
University of Wales College, Newport, UK. (http://www.caiia-star.net/)

For Immediate Release

"Memoirs of a Cyborg"
Christina McPhee
Opens in Los Angeles at Xin on October 25, 2002
Los Angeles, CA - Net artist Christina McPhee brings her multimedia
installation "Memoirs of a Cyborg" to Xin in the hip Melrose Heights area
(West of Fairfax) at 8064 Melrose Avenue, 90046. There will be an opening
reception and artist meet & greet on Friday, October 25th from 7:00pm -
10:00pm with an open bar in the adjacent breezeway. The exhibit runs
through November 14, 2002. For store hours or directions please call Xin at
323-653-2188.
"Memoirs of a Cyborg" is a transmedia installation that imagines the
memories of a feminine cyborg, trapped behind the digital screen. Her
presence is seen and heard in fragments of image, sound streams, and
performance video -- an erotic architecture of the invisible world behind
the screen, beyond the web.
For her Xin show, McPhee redefines the Melrose high-edge retail space with
looped performance DVD video and spatial divides made of translucent
Panelite (www.e-panelite.com), that are printed in transparent duraclear
scrims. Video soundtracks loop digital keyboard and voice improv remixed in
ambient twelve-tone style. Music sources derive from her 2002 electronic
ambient CD, 47Reds+SonicPersephone (mp3 downloads at www.naxsmash.net
<http://www.naxsmash.net>).
Christina McPhee is a California-based digital performance artist who works
collaboratively in architectural design, sound art, electronic poetry and
the net. Her critical writing and net art has received international
attention this year. A new article, "Aphasia and Parrhesia" on
cyberpresence has just appeared on the Italian new media site,
www.neural.it/english <http://www.neural.it/english>. An elegy to the
cyborg in the invisible city, "47Reds" appears this month in the fall 2002
issue of the acclaimed online digital culture journal, Metal and Flesh/Chair
et Metal based in Montreal (www.chairetmetal.com
<http://www.chairetmetal.com>). Her new work was screened live at the
Institute of Contemporary Art, London and Softform/Hive Projects, Toronto
earlier this year, and at FILE2002 Electronic Language Symposium, Sao Paulo,
this summer. She presents critical presentations on the electronic space of
the net, most recently last month at Cornell University for the conference
"Digital Terror and Wired Ruins"
(<http://ctheorymultimedia.cornell.edu/issue3/>). A digital installation of
her work is currently up at the California Museum of Photography UC
Riverside/Digital Studio's show "Impromptu" which runs through January 9,
2003 (www.cmp.ucr.edu/photography/impromptu
<http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/photography/impromptu>). "Memoirs of a Cyborg" will
debut online in Brussels and Helsinki via www.boringart.com
<http://www.boringart.com> on October 31st.
An interview with the artist on electronic sound art and media is online at
the London-based www.soundtoys.net <http://www.soundtoys.net>.

Aphasia and Parrhesia: Code and Speech in the Neural Topographies of the Net
Christina McPhee <http://www.christinamcphee.net>
SUMMARY This paper allegorizes traumatized visualization and speech as an
electronic topology.
KEYWORDS: media, allegory, cyborg, algorithm, entropy, trauma, iconoclash,
atopia, amygdala
ABSTRACT
A cyborg consciousness within the neural net is contemplated as coextensive
with the net itself. If the brain and the cyborg-networked landscape are
self-reflexive subjects, then we may model a space, a neural atopia, wherein
synapses will set and reset in an entropy cycle, and, continually generating
code variations, will reach a critical threshold of complexity, beyond which
it degrades and entraps like a left hemisphere stroke. This paper
allegorizes traumatized visualization and speech as an electronic topology.
The signal feature of Aphasia is a fugue state, expressed as recursive,
perseverant, garbled speech patterns caused by aneurysm or traumatic shock.
