Re: Re: Re: New on post.thing.net


i don't have a blog. actually i do. i signed up for one. but i don't operate in such a way that i was moved to do anything with it. it's just not me, apparently.

here's a blog i visit fairly often: http://dbqp.blogspot.com . this is geof huth's blog on visual poetry.

the form of the blog is not going to be right for all, but apparently it is very right for what geof is doing at the moment. i first encountered geof's work in the late 80's; i've been following his work for a long time. i don't know of a more serious one concerning visual poetry. there are other blogs concerning visual poetry where interesting visual poets post good work. but the blog is sort of incidental to most of these blogs. it's just somewhere to post the work. whereas huth is doing something else.

what are the urls of blogs you visit fairly often?

ubu operates much as youtube: put stuff up without permission and keep it up unless someone objects. there was an interesting article in macleans a couple of weeks ago about youtube. they pointed out that other outfits very similar to youtube haven't done so well because they were more concerned with copyright issues.

pause.

Re: Re: Arts Agencies: bogus-aid for the 'developed world'


perhaps you didn't notice that the real focus in dietz's later net art curations had little to do with the art of the artists. instead, it was on the concept of the curation. in other words, the focus was on his work. he is not serious, therefore, in saying he sought great net art or net artists. his later curatorial work did not need or seek such art or artists.

already have a time machine. it's called the brain.


from such a distance the achievements of the parents may indeed seem
pathetic. that view will be reconsidered later on when the children ruefully
consider whether they themselves were their parent's main work in the world.
