Turbulence Commission: "Urban Attractors, Private Distractors" by Angie Eng
March 31, 2007
Turbulence Commission: "Urban Attractors, Private Distractors" by Angie Eng
in collaboration with Rich Streitmatter-Tran and a collective of student
interns in New York and Ho Chi Minh City
http://turbulence.org/uapd/
"Urban Attractors and Private Distractors" is a vlog project about privacy
in public space in Eastern culture. It compares the results of derives
(French for "drift," derive was defined by the Situationists as the
"technique of locomotion without a goal") in Ho Chi Minh and New York City.
The collective will address questions such as: How is a city constructed in
a culture where the inhabitants have little experience of a private physical
space? Do they adapt more readily to cyberspace which is both private/public
simultaneously? How do Westerners reclaim their 'public space'? Organized
derives in both cities will commence at the most public of spaces--the town
square. Participants will submit videos as urban indicators of private
and/or public to the vlog until the workshop meetings in June 2007. Angie
Eng, the project director, will continue vlogging until the commencement of
the physical installation in Fall 2007.
"Urban Attractors, Private Distractors" is a 2007 commission of New Radio
and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It
was made possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation.

Contemporary Art, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Experimental Intermedia,
and Roulette Mixology Festivals. Eng's videos have been included in digital

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL!
McKenzie Wark: "Gamer Theory from Screen to Page"
GAM3R 7H30RY 1.1 / "Gamer Theory" was created to investigate new approaches
to writing in the networked environment, and to see what happens when
authors and readers are brought into conversation over an evolving text.
Wark will discuss the issues and questions that came up in the process of
designing, writing and publishing the book, due out this month from Harvard
University Press.
MCKENZIE WARK is an Associate Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the
New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College in New York City. He
is the author of several books, including A Hacker Manifesto (Harvard
University Press) and Dispositions (Salt Publishing).
David Weinberger: "Everything is Miscellaneous"
The digital revolution has created billions of shards of knowledge and
information. Now we are inventing processes and techniques for pulling them
together, unconstrained by the physical limitations that have silently
guided our traditional principles of organizing ideas. From Britannica to
Wikipedia, news media to blogs, the Dewey Decimal system to "folksonomies,"
we are overturning the old assumptions about who is an authority, who is an
expert, and who gets to decide what's worth knowing.
DAVID WEINBERGER, Ph.D. is a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet
& Society. He is a co-author of the best-selling "Cluetrain Manifesto", and
the author of "Small Pieces Loosely Joined." Weinberger has written for
Wired, Salon, The Guardian, The NY Times, USA Today, Harvard Business Review
and many others. His new book, "Everything Is Miscellaneous," will be
published in May by Times Books.

Turbulence Artist's Studio: "Continuum." by Michael Takeo Magruder
http://www.turbulence.org/studios/takeo/index.htm
Needs Flash Player 8+ plugin and stereo audio
"Continuum." reflects upon the evolution of our collective history through
the real-time analysis of global news information networks. As no event
transpires in isolation, each moment of our existence is defined by the sum
of an infinite number of interconnected occurrences. Given that no
individual can absorb and process the totality of this information, how can
we obtain an informed notion of the present?
"Continuum." was commissioned by Oog online (http://volkskrant.nl/oog/), a
commentary and opinion platform for the online edition of De Volkskrant
(http://www.volkskrant.nl/) a major Dutch daily national newspaper.
BIOGRAPHY
Michael Takeo Magruder is an American artist based in the UK deploying New
and Technological Media within Contemporary Art contexts. He is a
long-standing member of King's Visualization Lab located in the Centre for
Computing in the Humanities, King's College London. His artworks have been
showcased in over 150 exhibitions and 30 countries. Artistically, his
interests concern the simultaneous utilization and dissection of new
technology as a means to explore the formal structures and conceptual
paradigms of the digital realm. He seeks to create artworks in which there
are no divisions between technologies, aesthetics, and concepts.
