Stations, Sites and Volatile Landscapes

http://www.subtle.net/empyre

with Naeem Mohaiemen, Katherine Carl, Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss, Nat
Muller and John Haber

In the wake of the post-war situationists, the seventies Moebius-strip
concept of 'site/non-site

cool! also Christophe was a very articulate and often humorous guest
on -empyre- for the topic "is modernity our antiquity?" , the first of
the documenta 12 -related conversations we did, in March 2006.
Christiane Paul, Dirk Vekemans, and Erik Kluitenberg were in the panel
as well. Here's Christophe;;;;;;;

Jason, !! This is my most favorite ever of all your amazing works.
I can't get past level 5 possibly because
I am trying to keep shooting and I don't want to read your game
theories. Alarmingly, the statistical
zombies are shooting me.

October 2007 on -empyre-: "DNA Poetics"

Two words well placed, no? After Judith Roof's "The
Poetics of DNA". That DNA (hereafter Code) is
perhaps, but a metaphor for a substance (and/or
protocol?) is what concerns us here, this month of
October, on -empyre-.

The Code is meaningful, we can agree. But of what
meaning is it full? Meaningful of biology? Meaningful
of poetry? Should we speak of the people's (public)
Code? A corporatized (private) Code?
Who is charged with its derivation?
With the responsibility of Code's proof?

Is there no Code, and only 'codes'?
