BIO
Eric Dymond is an artist who works with many tools and programming languages.
He graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design with a BFA in studio.<br />
He exhibited paintings in Toronto, Detroit, New York, Montreal and London during the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. The paintings were created with sandblasted sprays employing formal themes from the history of painting (still life's , individual portraits, traditional landscapes) . These series appear minimal with repeating content and are a form of Serialism.
In the early 1990's he began working with digital media, building perl programs with TCL/TK, web sites (see the doorway on Leonardo) and stand-alone applications.
He continues working in all media, rejecting specialization.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: the random
I spent a good chunk of the late nineties trying to emulate random sequences. I ended in disappointment.
The reality is of course discouraging, and follow this carefully:
" No given structure or construct can exhibit truly random behaviour.
Randomness developed mathematically is outside the context of any observer. The finite nature of the universe excludes the truly random by nature"...
so what can you do.
Obey the laws of physics, or try to emulate an open universe that doesn't exist"
for the javascript hackers we have:
function poesis(supposed,given,imagined) {
this.supposed = supposed;
this.given = given;
this.imagined = imagined;
this.print = print;
}
document.write(stanza[(Math.round(100*Math.random()))].given);
stanza[Math.round(100*Math.random())].print();
document.write(stanza[(Math.round(100*Math.random()-1))].imagined);
stanza[Math.round(100*Math.random())].print();
document.write(stanza[(Math.round(100*Math.random()-1))].supposed);
stanza[Math.round(100*Math.random())].print();
onerror=null
//where given is the array of values
or go to the perl cookbook and try a mathematically correct approach:
sub shuffle {
my $array=shift;
my $i;
for ($i=@$array;--$i;) {
my $j=int rand ($i+1);
next if $i==$j;
@$array[$i,$j]=@$array[$j,$i];
}
}
The problem provides a simple solution, and one that rankles the observer.
No truly random situation is available in a closed universe,
well have fun with that!

The Three Ecologies
From Transference to Transversality
"Guattari developed the concept of transversality through his interest in finding a kind of therapy adequate to an institutional context; in other words , what happens to classical psychotherapy technique focussed on the cure of an individual on a couch when the environment changes to a psychiatric hospital...
The Institution, Guttari argued, was not simply a backdrop against which classical dual analyses might be undertaken, regardless of their Freudian or Lacanian lineage. The analyst had to come to terms with the effects of the setting on how s/he would normally proceed.Indeed the analyst was called upon to translate and reevaluate technical and conceptual notions in relation to what Guattari called the 'institutional object'."

As well, we should all take note of the "normal people" in the Oval Office.

I think the issues that Deleuze and Guttari were addressing in their discourses were ones of "fitting in" and how social structures can be more disabling for schizophrenics. It is currently a devestating condition.
In Mircea Eliade's research, the role of the schizophrenic is enabled by some tribes and excluded by others. In complex social networks, which we are a part of, the schizophrenic is excluded and sent to the shadows.
As well capitalism has no room, or need for the schizophrenic. They don't contribute to the nations wealth in an open market system. Witness the homeless today and the Bedlams of the past. Providing a social space doesn't cure the chemical imbalances, but it can give them a nurturing environment and a sense of belonging.
It isn't a cure, but it does provide needed dignity.
Most people are frightened by schizophrenics. The fear is reinforced in the current social climate. The fear drives the schizophrenic further from the support network. As the isolation is amplified, the schizophrenic feels they are being persecuted. They are being persecuted. It's not a delusion.
That’s really simplified read of the issue ( and Deleuze and Guttari) , but there is a seed of truth there that can offer a starting place for inclusion rather than depending solely upon pharmaceutical companies. After inclusion, maybe progress can be made.
well, there ya go,
