Memoires of a Cyborg
Many thanks to all of you who visited the cyborg's fragmentary memories in
sound, streaming video and digital painting at <http://www.boringart.com>.
She will disappear on Christmas Day.
It has seemed to me that the cyborg is a way of exploring grief and
trauma:the drama of forgetting and remembering in mixed code; the ellipse
of almost memory, the amnesia in the face of two much terror.
'For all those'
For all those whom my heart will not forget,
But for some reason are nowhere,
And those children of terror
Who will never live to see their twenties.
Eight years, nine years old -
And then...Enough, don't torture yourself.
All those whom you truly loved
Will remain alive for you.
_Anna Akhmatova, 1940.

-empyre- bids farewell to October's guests from the E-Lounge
-empyre- would like to thank Lea Deschamps, the curator and new media
artist, whose work with the online e-lounge at the Atlantic Cultural Space
Conference, Moncton, New Brunswick Canada in May 2002 prompted this month's
discussion with the participatig e-lounge artists, about relational
aesthetics and semiotics of net based art in context of cultural
geographies.
Special thanks to Gair, Randy Knott, Ron Gervais of - I am static
(Canada); Valerie LeBlanc and Daniel Dugas -Wireless technology (Canada);
Saoirse Higgins of the MIT media lab, (Ireland-USA); and Clemente Padin -
Mail art, Poetry and artivism (Uruguay).
Lea's observations on timebased poetry in Flash threads into the space of
virtual construction, where semiotic codes create realities..a film grain
and a grain of the voice.
Our discussion opens for November with Joseph Nechvatal and Virtual
Construction.
