RHIZOME ACTIVITIES
Required Reading
I am kinda torn about this one... on one hand we should support main stream art writers who approach the clandestine territory of post-new-media fallout, on the other, the semiotic square thing has serious problems. For me the issues here begin before specific examples of what kind of work fits where... "Art" and "Social Media", even as BD defines them, are not compatible categories which could become binary oppositions. Any semioticians out there on Rhizome?
BTW: "wrinkled fruits of inferior understanding" is a masterful description;)

KRAZY! Chiptune Music
Techno composers are making creative use of video game console and antique computer sound chips—especially those from the golden age of the mid-1980s to early ‘90s—with the majority of chiptune artists emerging from Japan, Europe and Australia. Please join us for an intimate discussion with filmmaker Marcin Ramocki and chiptune musician Jeremiah Johnson (also known as Nullsleep) on the technological and intellectual influence of the video games in KRAZY! The Delirious World of Anime + Manga + Video Games and the advent of the chiptune music phenomenon.
Moderated by art critic and curator Ed Halter.
The discussion is preceded by a video screening of 8 BIT (2006, USA, 90 min.), a documentary about art and video games by Marcin Ramocki and Justin Strawhand.
Buy Tickets Online or call the Japan Society Box Office at (212) 715-1258, Mon. - Fri. 11 am - 6 pm, Weekends 11 am - 5 pm.

What Was Old Is New Again @ ZKM
Dates:

Location:
Germany
What Was Old is New Again
A Meeting of Art and Scholarship
Fri-Sun, November 21-23, 2008
Symposium at the ZKM\_Lecture Hall
Karlsruhe, Germany
from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
http://on1.zkm.de/zkm/stories/storyReader$6356
Every religion, political ideology, philosophy, and scientific theory embodies a set of structured beliefs. These belief systems maintain a symbiotic liaison with the arts. Throughout history, communal beliefs have relied on music, theater, painting, and dance in order to propagate accepted doctrines, and the arts in turn have shaped the articles of faith.
The conference brings together artists and scholars in an unusual forum. The arts addressed deal primarily with media, the major art form that has only come to the fore in recent decades. The scholarship concerns antique matters, such as Sumerian music, early Egyptian medicine, and the omens, codes of law, and creation myths of Mesopotamia. The divergent perspectives of the participants augur well for innovative ideas emerging from this close encounter between scholarship, the arts, and the belief systems of early and modern times.
Participants: Mel Alexenberg / Netanel Anor / Michael Bielicky / Bazon Brock / Yiyi Chen / Michael Cohn / Brian Dillon / Dragan Espenschied / Dmitry Gutov / Jenia Gutova / Wayne Horowitz / Th. J. H. Krispijn / Bo Lawergren / Olia Lialina / Barbara London / Naomi May / Luke Murphy / Muzaffer Özgüles / Marcin Ramocki / Morty Schiff / Irene Sibbing / Joey Skaggs / Peter Weibel / Martin Williams / Jocelyn Wolff / Henry Zemel .
