Taxonomy is everywhere.

This past week, I did two Art Dirt Redux http://spaghetti.nujus.net/
artDirt interviews, that indicate a new discourse of sorts for the
digital art arena. One was with Marc Garret of <http://
www.furtherfield.org> and the other with [PAM] http://
perpetualartmachine.com; Garret talks about node London, a media arts
festival that was de-centralized and non-hierarchical and [PAM] that
talks about video art folksonomy. Things are getting interesting
when you look at the steve.museum <http://www.steve.museum.com> as well.

I will write a deeper theoretic analysis of tagging on my blog, this
week. In the meantime you can subscribe directly to the RSS feed at

Assembled Cinema was presented on May 20th on dvblog.org
< http://dvblog.org/assembled-cinema-gh-hovagimyan/> Doron Golan who
started dvblog says that the video (assembled cinema) got 7700
downloads in two days. It's also worth checking out Doron's other
video site

Speaking of sound art.

Carey Peppermint is doing some pretty terrific actions at Hartwick
College. He has set up a solar powered sound art installation in the
woods for his
Wild Information Network; http://restlessculture.net/wildinfonet/

Also take a look at his performance videos. http://
restlessculture.net/practicalperformance/. They resemble early
conceptual works that involve an action and documentation but don't
be lulled into writing them off. They are very smart and up to date.
