michael kargl:
i wonder if someone read this article:
http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/08/vienna_netart_commun.html
there are some discussions going on here in vienna about this, ranging from "idiotic nerd stuff" to "the solution to all our problems"...
has anybody heard of somehow similar projects ? any experiences?
and: this sentence: "more than 100 net.art groups" (from the article) tempts me to call vienna the net.art capital of the world ;-) ... seems everybody is a net.artist here...
regards,
carlos

I’ve just released the newest version of RhizMail, the email library we use at Rhizome. Most of the changes are minor, but one bigger change is making it easier to parameterize a child of SimpleTemplateMessage.
For example, You can still create a SimpleTemplateMessage directly:
msg = RhizMail::SimpleTemplateMessage.new(
:to_address => 'john.doe@email.com',
:from_address => 'webmaster@website.com',
:template_file => '/Users/francis/Desktop/template.txt'
)
msg.substitute( 'email', 'john.doe@email.com' )
msg.substitute( 'password', 'p4ssw0rd' )
msg.deliver
But you can also create a child, parameterizing it with class methods:
class IntroEmail < RhizMail::SimpleTemplateMessage
from_address 'webmaster@website.com'
template '/Users/francis/Desktop/template.txt'
substitute 'email', Proc.new { |msg| msg.user.email }
substitute 'password', Proc.new { |msg| msg.user.password }
attr_reader :user
def initialize( user )
@user = user
super( :to_address => user.email )
end
end
User = Struct.new( :email, :password )
u = User.new( 'john.doe@email.com', 'p4ssw0rd' )
email = IntroEmail.new u

How can histories, knowledges and practices that fall outside what is commonly understood as 'new media' --19th century loom technology, ancient religious cosmologies, 9th century mathematics--inform the field? This question is the central premise of The Infinite Genealogy: Intercultural Approaches to New Media Art, a conference set to take place in May 2006 at Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver. The gathering will draw scholars from disciplines such as art history, media studies, music, anthropology, computer programming, and biology, along with artists working across these areas in an attempt to refresh new media in light of an array of cultural and artistic paradigms. 'New technologies have genealogies that extend deep into history and across cultures,' says conference organizer Dr. Laura Marks, Professor in Art and Culture Studies at Simon Fraser. As an example, she cites the work of the conference's keynote speaker, ethnomathematican Ron Eglash, whose work (pictured) shows that certain early African arts are based in fractal algorithms. Lines of inquiry are still open. Papers and artist presentations will be accepted up until the deadline of December 1, 2005. -- Fred Cisterna
