Does he sleep in coffin?


MANIK think that Wilfried Agricola de Cologne represent heavy and disgusting
example of necrophilia.
This story about his 'resurrection's is one of proof that this man(?)have at
least strange idea about his own identity.
Does he sleep in coffin?
MANIK
PS:Who really care for agricolas true identity?Police?They already know and
this is enough.

Understanding New Media 2.2

The network, memory and identity: a challenge for digital art
Open Lecture by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne

Who's really Wilfried Agricola de Cologne? Nobody knows his true identity
and his true age (he declares to be born on 1950). Surely Wilfried Agricola
de Cologne is German, born somewhere in the Black Forest. And surely he is
one of the most exceptional virtual artists and curators ever existed, who
lived and worked truly practicing a permanent online exposure. He declares
to have died as the artist AGRICOLA on 31 December 1998 as the result of a
terrorist attack and also tells to be reborn as the artist AGRICOLA de
Cologne on 1 January 2000. He is living and working since 1984 in Cologne
(Germany).

RE;RHIZOME_RAW: research visit to NYC


I really pass through your message-so you need someone who know something
about preserve ...etc.Sorry.
Still I don't understand you never heard for our work(actually it was test
for you).I wonder if you don't know for best,what you know about this kind
of 'art' in SEE(South Eastern Europe) at all?
So if you are really "PhD researcher"it's unnatural to"don't really care
what you think you my motivation is"because I must know what your motivation
is because you just can't make any valid investigation in this kind of
'ephemeral' art without MANIK's works.So,you are not serious and we don't
won't to cooperate with you.That's what we talking about.
Your offer for accommodation in Poland is generous,thanks,but you should
know that we live in close society and my chance to go abroad are very
small(less than small).
So MANIK's answer is not irrational and stupid.You made mistake and in your
investigations access to MANIK work will be closed to you.
Good luck with other 'artist' from SEE.

Manik, I don't really care what you think you my motivation is,

if you could be bothered to actually read my mail you would understand I
am not looking for E+SEE material in NY (although there is plenty of it)
but people who engage with digital preservation and curation of
documentation.

another thing, if you ever decided to visit where i live (Poland) and
wanted some advice on accommodation you would get it. Not a stupid
irrational reply.

best,
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
I'm really surprised you looking for material in NYC from SEE Europe!
Also you are,it seems to me kind of people who looking for cheep place for
stay,not some "ephemeral"material.
You know very well on which doors you knocking,and why.
If you really want "The Material",I'm sure you know where you could find
one.
So just ask what you want,and don't be hypocritical.
MANIK
PS:What's ephemeral for you?

Kenny wrote:
Dear Rhizome people,

I am a PhD researcher looking into East and South East European
performance/installation/video - time based, ephemeral art practices. I
live in Poland but will be in New York 5/6 November.

I would very much like to meet with anyone involved in digital preservation
and curation of ephemeral/time-based practices.

I am also a Performance and Installation Artist (why I am in N America) and
founder of online Contemporary Art project www.agora8.org

Anything that can be done would be greatly appreciated.
Also any ideas of cheap-ish places to stay, central.

very best wishes,

Kenny McBride

wryneck reflection


If we are part of Rhizome 'community' we demand your understanding and
reaction.Why are you so confused?Isn't it nice opportunity to taste mixture
of different kind of logic?MANIK's demand for Rhizome stuff resignation's
based on light tradition of what Americans teach us already half
century.Isn't it hypocritical to seek one logic(not justice)for your
self's,and completely different for other people.In which sense we are
'community'(with MANIK as a part of the same?).In sense you ignore our
suggestion?You don't like to see your own pupil adopt your knowledge?It's
look ugliness to see what politics you wouldn't do anything to stop make
with people in generally,all over the world?And Lauren's stylish ignore of
MANIK demand tell us how deep's her racism(racism is not just about skin
color...)it's internal scorn toward demonstrate of wryneck reflection, bad
conscience and subconsciousness in some filthy and cheep mirror.
Considered Raw MANIK work on his Forum and already make his order:
http://seecult.org/forum/(SEEcult-South-Eastern Europe Portal for
Culture-SEECULTURA-Forum)
Here's two threads you could recognize some names and texts.
http://seecult.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t2
http://seecult.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t"
And finally:Raw's OK,but MANIK don't like some announcement in the middle of
serious discussion.But also we thought divide of those entirety could be
very bad because from time to time some important announcement 'fall into
eyes'(Parmenides).All you should do is to separate regions on one singular
Raw.
Love you all
MANIK

excuse


Sorry,
We couldn't seen Lee's and Steven's mail because we use Mail Washer(bad
software for mailing).After sending we've seen our mistake and we deeply
excuse to all of you.Of course,sans that our ideas about
Raw,resignation,...etc.stay the same.
