#PEAE Participative Ethology in Artificial Environments

[…]as “Ours Lingages” for eloPorto, where we used language learning tools, collective writing, code, voices, dance, singing, audience participation and a blindfold, had a protocol that could be easily memorized and was not rehearsed. As using “behavioral art” was not an option, I had to find something else. Maybe “agency art” would be better. Arjen Mulder uses it in his article “The Beauty of Agency Art” from 2012. In this article, visiting thinkers as diverse as Shannon, Wiener, MacKay, McLuhan, Cassirer, Langer, Gell, Latour, Heidegger, Derrida, Badiou, Rancière, Danto, Whitehead, Steiner, Rolnik, Deleuze and Guattari, he sets out to see […]

Toward a Particulate Politics: Visibility and Scale in a Time of Slow Violence

[…]who contradicted official government pronouncements of safety. Promulgators of fūhyōhigai were coded as harming the regional and national financial recovery after Fukushima, and thus as oppositional to the collective welfare of Japan. As Kimura argues, “After the Fukushima accident, the concept was used to describe people who avoided foods from affected areas as fearmongers who caused much suffering to the food producers” (Kimura 32). Sometimes the government’s pushback against forms of subjectivity that didn’t align with neoliberal norms was more pointedly gendered, as in the deployment of the derogatory phrase “radiation brain mom” to “deride these concerned mothers as hysterical […]

Notes on a Civics For The Sixth Extinction

[…]Petromelancholia describes a structure of feeling that allows the messaging of corporate advocacy groups like the American Heartland Institute to resonate, touching deep attachments to energy infrastructures, which are also cultural infrastructures. Of petromelancholia, I wrote, What impedes the productive grieving of oil, if we’re to follow Freud in supposing that grief should be superseded by the taking of a new object, is that we, by which I mean myself and most Americans, refuse to acknowledge that conventional oil is running out and that Tough Oil isn’t the same resource, in terms of economic, social, and biological costs. Denial inhibits […]

Off Center Episode 25: AI Cinema with Will Luers

[…]so much time becoming such a good— WL: But he also is sort of a craftsman. SR: For him, the code is an artform. WL: Absolutely, yeah. SR: And then, “Oh well, I’m going to spend 20 minutes with ChatGPT and have code that does some similar things.” WL: I guess he’s looking into limitations of— SR: Constraints. WL: Constraints, yeah. SR: And it’s not that any of that’s going away, it’s just that this discourse about machine generated content and how we work with text generation generators, or computational narrative systems, as he calls them, that’s changing pretty quickly.

This connection was made when some participants from my Glider study group were asked to use Diffraction during nighttime wildlife spotting routines, in order to consider how this may affect their experience with the more–than–human world.

The Anxiety of Imitation: On the “Boringness" of Creative Turing Tests

[…]flatness. Analogously, Christopher Funkhouser suggests in Prehistoric Digital Poetry (2007), poets working with code have long sought to create texts that “make their essence apparent,” (3) that make legible and unmistakable their algorithmic bones. A poem that passes a poetic Turing Test will have instead cleverly obscured its digital nature. Moreover, such tests often take as their standard the well-worn forms of literary inheritance – sonnets, haikus, etc. (This includes, we should note, the Neukom Institute’s “Turing Tests in the Creative Arts”; Rockmore founded this contest and Booten is a former competitor.) To add to Funkhouser’s observation about the modernist […]

Electronic Literature, or Whatever It’s Called Now: the Archive and the Field

[…]project”), where it has garnered a fanbase committed to ensuring that the IF continues to have working emulators (such as Gargoyle or Windows Frotz) on which to run. In view of this, it is possible to discuss the omission of Slouching from the three ELC volumes without chagrin or fear for the longevity of the work. As Joseph Tabbi level-headedly pointed out while setting a direction for the Electronic Literature Directory in 2007, [p]romoters of e-literature should avoid sounding too disappointed about the ‘loss’ of established works of e-lit whose platforms are now outdated […] the vast majority of past […]

Greening the Digital Muse: An Ecocritical Examination of Contemporary Digital Art and Literature

[…]have seen the emergence and dynamic unfolding of new and overlapping transdisciplinary fields or critical methodologies (e.g. Cultural Ecology, Ecocriticism, and Environmental Humanities). Interdisciplinary and plural, combining a large array of multifaceted scholarly approaches (Rose et. al. 2012; Oppermann 2011; Gersdorf and Mayer 2006), the field has however a focal point: the need to reconceptualize environmental issues as social and human questions rather than mere technical ones, to be handled by experts or technocratic structures. Engaging with these ongoing critical discussions, this paper offers an eco-oriented reading of literary and artistic digital works. How do the contemporary digital art and […]

Embraceable Joe: Notes on Joe Brainard’s Art

[…]and sentiments,” as well as evokes a “sense of how much one is like others” (78). While working on the first installment of his project, Brainard wrote in a letter to Anne Waldman that he felt I Remember “is about everybody else as much as it is about me” (qtd. in Padgett 171). However, he chose not to gloss over the memories which clearly mark out his experience from that of the majority of the book’s audience – his homosexuality: I remember one football player who wore very tight faded blue jeans, and the way he filled them. (19) I […]
