The art of the Greeks has been used in the past as a touchstone for artists who measure their own vision against an anthropocentric one. “Greek art had a purely human conception of beauty,” Apollinaire wrote in an essay about a 1912 exhibition of Cubist painting. “It took man as the measure of perfection. The art of the new painters takes the infinite universe as its ideal, and it is to the fourth dimension alone that we… ]]> Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:16:49 -0700 http://rhizome.org/editorial/2011/aug/17/its-only-humanist/ Metalosis Maligna - An Extraordinary disease http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtXMyAOop3s&feature=youtube_gdata ]]> Sun, 27 Nov 2011 04:16:45 -0700 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtXMyAOop3s&feature=youtube_gdata GLI.TC/H Lecture - Glitch Karaoke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXPy0WtjfBg&feature=youtube_gdata ]]> Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:49:05 -0700 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXPy0WtjfBg&feature=youtube_gdata The Creators Project interview: Sing Glitchy Karaoke Over The Web http://thecreatorsproject.com/en-uk/blog/sing-glitchy-karaoke-over-the-web The Creators Project interview: Sing Glitchy Karaoke Over The Web:

London-based conspirators Kyoung Kim and Daniel Rourke are on a mission to kludge and con the world into partaking in an internet-based, 24-hour karaoke marathon. We spoke to them to find out more about what that means, exactly.

BIRD RIB Paintings | Maurizio Bongiovanni

My work “Bird Rib” questions the effect that the “digitalization” is taking in the panorama view, re-marking the boundaries of the relationship between nature and technological progress. The world I created is crossed by a paradoxical form of mixing between the natural and technological artifice, and oscillates between a descriptive real and abstract imagines.

If not, how are we to detect in cyberspace the contours of the other two dimensions of the Lacanian triad ISR, the Symbolic and the Real? As to the symbolic dimension, the solution seems easy — it suffices to focus on the notion of authorship that fits the emerging domain of cyberspace narratives, that of the "procedural authorship":… ]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2011 07:33:41 -0700 http://www.egs.edu/faculty/slavoj-zizek/articles/the-cyberspace-real Crusoe film adaptations and *that* footprint http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/197212 Robinson Crusoe film adaptations. Which are the best ones? Also, *that* footprint... For a project I am working on, I want to isolate the moment in Robinson Crusoe where he discovers the savage footprint, imprinted in the sand, for the first time.

In the book this footprint is discovered quite a few years before Friday arrives. It signifies the first time Crusoe realises that there are 'others' visiting his Kingdom.

It has been critically engaged with by the likes of Umberto Eco, Susan Stewart (two times) and Simon O'Sullivan.

The world today—whether measured in technological or ecological terms—appears to be changing more rapidly than ever before. Our modern system for generating novelty and prosperity has stretched to encompass the entire planet, growing more complex and expansive, so that now it seems to groan and shudder beneath its own weight. In its service, some things are falling apart: Non-renewable resources are profligately consumed, ecosystems disrupted, and social traditions steadily relinquished. There seems no way to stop or slow these processes without causing immense, cascading catastrophe.

Blog and social media based hubs, perhaps, that showcase the possibilities of web portfolio/research integration for academic and creative purposes. I've been asked to help implement a website/blogging platform for a community of 20 MFA students.

Basically I'd like to gather up some examples of dynamic websites attached to academia (or similar i.e. the arts).
