BIO
Joy Garnett is a painter based in New York. She appropriates news images from the Internet and re-invents them as paintings. Her subject is the apocalyptic-sublime landscape, as well as the digital image itself as cultural artifact in an increasingly technologized world. Her image research has resulted in online documentation projects, most notably The Bomb Project.

Notable past exhibitions include her recent solo shows at Winkleman Gallery, New York and at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC; group exhibitions organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, P.S.1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center, Artists Space, White Columns (New York), Kettle's Yard, Cambridge (UK), and De Witte Zaal, Ghent (Belgium).

The Forward Motion Theatre presents: EYEWASH DVD Release


via http://palladiomovie.com :

December 17, 2004
Eyewash DVD Release

The Forward Motion Theatre presents:
http://www.forwardmotiontheater.org

another mixed cocktail of Visuals and Music from
EYEWASH in New York City

11 new tracks! Over 1 hour of original IDM, house, ambient music

DVD NTSC Region-Free $20.00 US pre-order: shipping Dec 30, 2004

http://www.forwardmotiontheater.org/Store/EyeWash2/index.html

featured artists: BILL JONES and BEN NEILL

Bill Jones is the founder of Artbyte Magazine, and created NiteNite a
midi-controlled video installation at Sandra Gering Gallery. His long-time
composer/collaborator Ben Neill (six degrees records, astralwerks) is no
less a designer and artist and re-engineered his 3-belled mutantrumpet to
crontol 4 laptops triggering Jones' video.

Although a commercial artist, Neill refuses to allow his creativity to
flow one-way out of the underground scene and released Automotive, a
full-length album based on jingles originally written for Volkswagen
commercials . Jones and Neill have completely erased the line between
admen and hopeful artists by presenting their collaborative VW remixes at
the Sundance Film Festival. Their new theater-media project Palladio
premieres in Glasgow in February before coming to NYC's Symphony Space.
Based on the novel of the same name, it remixes a complex love triangle
caught between DJ/VJ electroarts-culture and the sell-all world of
advertising, a subject they no doubt know intimately.

Colorbar remix is the first track on the EyeWash2 DVD, and Jones makes a
playful (almost Warhol-esque) meditation on the most mundane of editor's
preroll, while Neill expands the standard test tone into a soulful yet
somehow breezy soundscape of unfinished guitar chords and intelligent
beats.

uh-huh.

If I was going to get my hackles up I would say this author is trying to
insert her own schtick into something she doesn't quite understand and feels
somehow excluded by. (the schtick, it seems, is somewhere between
unreconstituted stalinist feminism, early 90s multi-culti politically
correct-speak, and something like a bee in a bonnet).

but... oh yawn.

Re: Re: Questioning the Frame


I think I have to agree with Pall -- and with "MrTeacup" who left an
insightful crit. in the comments:

>quote<
What is this heretofore unknown non-networked past? The very first
paragraph of this essay betrays ignorance of what network means. Network
theory and in fact, the majority of computer science has very little to do
with computers or computer networks. Its true that the Internet is an
implementation of these ideas, but it is notable not because it is the
first, but because it is extremely fast. As for denial of history,
communications networks predate human civilization.

The idea that network theorists style themselves as Gibson-esque fantasy
characters is laughable considering the rather boring, somber reality of
mathematicians in academia who do the heavy lifting and that media
depictions of actual hacking dumbed-down for the masses are the object of
scorn for real hackers.

Ms. Fusco identifies various activities that have occured in the political
sphere as evidence of the historical nature of networks. As it is readily
acknowledged that social networks are a feature of society itself, this is
completely unnecessary. Advances in computing technology have enabled
social networks to proliferate across previously established boundaries,
and although this is generally the case with all advances from the
development of language until now, they all profoundly influence social
change, often providing a catalyst.

However, there are some things that are unique about our current era. Our
understanding of the mathematical principles of networks enables us to be
somewhat more prescient about the proliferation of social change. For the
first time in history, the theoretical underpinnings of a medium are at
least partially understood before its broad implementation. Scientists
have been successfully applying this understanding to networking problems
that model social problems. While not explicitly network-related, the
mathematical principles of Game Theory have been successfully applied to
economic problems for decades.

As I see it, there are three unique circumstances surrounding digital
networks:
1. Advanced knowledge of mathematical networking principles.
2. Rapid and accurate measurement of the network.
3. Widespread deployment of knowledge in the network about the network. In
other words, meta-knowledge about the operation of the network that
accelerates optimal use.

Emily Jacir Exhibition to Proceed without Conditions
Wichita State University has announced that the Emily Jacir exhibition
scheduled to run January 20 - March 6, 2005, at the Ulrich Museum of Art
will do so without any conditions.

Elizabeth King, Vice President for University Advancement, released the
following statement late this afternoon:

Wichita State University is aware of the discussion generated by the
scheduled exhibition of work by artist Emily Jacir at the Ulrich Museum of
Art. The University is committed to going forward with the exhibition
without conditions or limitations that could be considered to compromise
the integrity of Ms. Jacir's work as an artist. The University appreciates
the widespread interest in the artist and the exhibition.

Judy Press, Executive Director of the Mid-Kansas Jewish Federation, said
yesterday that members of her group had seen images of Jacir's works on
the Internet and had objected to what they perceived to be the
single-sidedness of the exhibition. "The work focuses on the inability of
Palestinians to travel freely, and it blames Israel for that inability.
But it does not explain why Israel must take these measures," Press said.

The Federation had asked the University to display additional information
about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to balance the presentation. "We
made a request to the University, and we are under the impression at this
point that this was not an appropriate request," Press said. "We did not
realize that this was considered inappropriate or infringing on the
artist's rights. We need to not ask for that if it is not appropriate."

David Butler, Director of the Ulrich Museum, said this afternoon, "I'm
relieved that we are doing the right thing, and I am happy this has been
resolved. I have not spoken with Emily yet, but I hope she will be pleased
as well."

Emily Jacir was traveling this afternoon and was not available for
comment.
