Not Good News Taking Into Account the Sub-title of this Social Network

Following a review of the ICA's programming activities I have taken the decision to close the Live & Media Arts department from the end of November 2008. The ICA has led a pioneering role in new media arts practice over the last decade and more. We are proud of that legacy. However times change. And I no longer feel that the artistic rationale for devoting considerable institutional attention to that art form - to the extent of maintaining a dedicated department to its pursuance - can be s… Continue

Taken from The Arch: “Like most pioneers, when the young 24 year old Hungarian painter Nicolas Schöffer went to Paris in 1936, it’s not likely that he could have imagined he was embarking on a journey to become one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Known today as the Father of… Continue

Holmes, Hamilton...

Kevin Hamilton, from University of Illinois, sent an interesting post to NEW MEDIA CURATING. Full text bellow: The flipside of the happy accident is the situation without an apparent history or origin. As the Talking Heads song asks, "Well, how did I get here?" I've been very interested in Brian Holmes' read of cybernetics as present and influential in the contemporary surveillance state, a… Continue

Maîtresse-en-titre (updates 1)

Yasmin discussion is going full steam down the way. Parallel to this, cameos as me would like to risk inferring ideas: why not put in the agenda a discussion about SECOND ORDER CYBERNETICS ART?
