Actually I don't have a delicious. Maybe I will start one, but I already feel like I have enough accounts and stuff to check and maintain.

Union of Heroes

www.unionofheroes.com

The Union of Heroes! In early 2007, we developed the idea for a team of superheroes from Germany. And it didn’t take us long to figure out a matching title. Where else could we place the cradle of our Union of Heroes than in the Ruhr Area? This is where we live und work, this is where we know our stuff, this is where our first story had to take place.
With this project, we – Eric Wunsche and Arne Schulenberg – try to live our dream.
Disregard for a moment that this is a comic! Ignore the fact that it is a photographed one! And don’t be surprised that our heroes experience their adventures here in Germany – and not in America, England, France, Japan or where else they usually do!
Please close your eyes for a moment and imagine what it would be like: Superheroes!
In the Ruhr Area! We would like to tell you their stories. And we are certain you will like them. So, draw the curtain: The time has come for new heroes! Welcome to the Union of Heroes!
Have fun reading!

searching the art base: would noting subject terms be useful?

Melissa Ann Lambert — 2008-09-03T23:52:17+01:00

I agree - I was frustrated in what I felt to be a limiting description of my art (which it seems is not a good fit for Rhizome, which prefers more interactive and video work than straight digital flat-art).

Not just more descriptive terms, but more accurate words than "war" would be helpful. Also, there is a growing movement of artists combining digital and traditional-media work (I'm one) and there's no description for that.

If we put our heads together we should be able to all brainstorm this so the art translates better to the description.

"The Ghost in the Machine"

What role do artists play in haunting the Internet? Is being an art hactivist part of a larger interventionist strategy to destructively create a spirit world within the network protocols? How can a work of net art set off a viral aesthetics that provokes a chaotic "butterfly effect" in the all-consuming culture of information?

The works we are seeking in this year's Project Net.Arts competition are ghosts in the machine. They create counter-protocols, hactivist ethics, or a distributed viral aesthetics whose function is to insert the artist and/or artwork as medium.

According to Arthur Koestler's "The Ghost in the Machine" (1967), the holon can represents a semi-autonomous unit which is part of complex hierarchies, which both govern, and are governed by other semi-autonomous holons on higher or lower orders of the hierarchy. Holon is a combination of the Greek word holos, meaning whole, and the suffix on meaning particle or part. Koestler argues that parts and wholes, in an absolute sense, do not exist in the domains of life; in both stable social, and biological systems, and the concept of the holon therefore, is then mobilized to reconcile the atomistic and holistic nature of these systems. The relationship between holons is governed by specific rules; rules which serve to preserve the structure of the system. This hierarchic approach, in fact replaces the dualism we so often struggle with in social systems, enabling us to maintain some sort of internal mental mapping of the different hierarchal systems that we are part of; as individuals, in a family, tribes, or nation. We hope to identify those holons that are governed by other holons, and explore the ways these holonistic units are situated above or below other holons in networked systems.

For example, a single instruction from a high level holon can result in the triggering of the holons at lower levels, which in turn, due to their semi-autonomous nature, respond to the higher command only after filtering out the specific information that it considers relevant. The strength of holonic hierarch, or holarchy, lies in its flexibility, in its efficiency
respond to disturbances, in its flexible distribution and consumption of resources, and in its ability to adapt easily to change. The characteristics of robust biological or social systems can be transposed to other systems, including those found on digital networks, and we hope that these ghosts we discover will prove to be not only engaging and intriguing but once the whole holarchic system is revealed, will be also illuminating.

Hmmm. The website says:

"There are no restrictions of theme or on the number of works that one artist can submit."
&
"The gallery will contact the selected artists about one week following the deadline. Each artist will then be asked to contribute with a fee of $60 per work selected."

Do not get fleeced, dear friends.
