E Y E B E A M | atelier SOCIAL NETWORK SOIREE: DISCUSSION, CHAMPAGNE, EXPERIMENT
‘Eyebeam, the not-for-profit organization dedicated to art and technology, will host an interdisciplinary panel discussion entitled Social Network Soirée: Discussion, Champagne, Experiment. The event will take place on May 14, 2002 at 6:30pm in Eyebeam’s space in Chelsea located at 540 West 21st Street, between 10th and 11th Aves. The discussion will address the social dynamics that drive fashion trends, enable salacious gossip, fuel Internet crazes and sustain corporate power structures. Each panelist will use social network analysis to explain a transformation in art, technology, or culture. A cocktail party will follow the discussion, where guests wear wireless badges called meme tags that track and analyze social interaction in real time. To participate in the experiment, guests will mingle, listen to freshly spun electronica, and sip complimentary mini-Moet champagne.”
I mention this cause it is interesting and also being the Josh On parent.

Anita Konkka Literary Web Site
“Anita Konkka is a Finnish novel writer. She has published since 1970 eleven novels, essays, radio-plays, and a dream-book. She is a tireless scholar of love and love relationships, problematic ones, too. However, she doesn’t portray her characters as enervated by love or otherwise with furrowed brow. In these Finnish latitudes she is able to write about love and its troublesome and unhappy aspects humorously and as though smiling, not derisively or with pity but friendly and understandingly.”
Nice to hear from you again Anita!
Linux & community
“Anyway, I wanted to come back to the idea of Linux. It is a careful phrase, ‘the idea of Linux’. It occurred to me this morning, as I was reading the technology news and reflecting on the tasks of the day, (I’m not exactly sure how, but that is an interesting side question) that Linux and the whole Open Source movement isn’t about the software. It is about community. The Community of Linux.”
This is from Aldon Hynes a regular on Psyber-L. I am looking forward to discussion on this whole topic. The idea of Linux to me is central to the psyche in cyberspace. Community is one reason for that, to be sure.

DaveNet : In rebuttal to Glenn Davis
“Davis says that the gee-whiz hello-world days of the Web are over. It’s true it was fun (for a few minutes) to watch a fish tank on a webcam. But that was not the promise or purpose of the Web. Maybe he thought that’s what it was. If so, he missed the point. It’s about publishing without middlemen.”
Dave Winer also wrote something about Glen Davies… see my post below.
Publishing without middlemen – reading without middlemen – can this happen? It is happening now – but new media wil not replace old, only transform it.

“Possible theme of a paper could be the — Necessity and Metaphor. Contrary to popular belief ‘we can not think what we like’, words and metaphors have a power of their own”
I wrote that a long time ago… it was an abstract for something I am still writing.

I still like this quote – it linked me to many collaborations with Charles ‘Hipbone’ Cameron.
Contrary to popular belief ‘we can not think what we like’, words and metaphors have a power of their own.
I can think you might be an AI reading this.
But to think the floor of the Louvre is reading this… ??

” I am called Thymie. I am the oldest, and the boss of the herd, yet the gentlest of everyone. I was born in 1984.I have had a successful, though short, trotting racing career as well. My racing name was Lotsa Time, and I am so gentle, and therapeutic that Kate spelled the Time part after a lovely herb to capture my healing essence.”

Here is one of the pages from the site – which i have enjoyed making. The business is going well! We are loving the newness of our life – which is very different from how it was. The transitions have been hard.
Psyber-L: Exploring Psyche in Cyberspace Mailing List
Psyber-L: A Psybernet Mailing List
Psyber-L: Exploring Psyche in Cyberspace
Mailing List
“An online group for experiential learning about online depth interaction for people doing psychological work on the Internet. The group has been active (and inactive!) since 1993 and now has a life based on our history and sense of affiliation as well as the shared purposes.
“The Psyber-L mailing list grew out of the need to learn more about and experience first hand the potential of the net, especially how online group interaction effects the psyche.
“If you have an interest in the psyche online – please join!”

I have been completing the transition of this group from L-Soft to Yahoo. Bit sad about that as L-soft had a good feel to it and a better product, no ads etc. However Yahooo is easier and cheaper! I will be able to start writng there soon… life is getting back to normal after the huge upheval of stating the Mt. Lyford Horse Treks (see link coming up).
How is it then that i have time for being here – but not there in the cty? Solitude, strange but true. But then why here at all? Here being in this blog?
I am having a great time reviewing psybernet… tidying… shifting, it is helping me find myself. That sounds too grand. Helping a tiny bit in the big process.
The list of links is really a nice mirror for me and goes well beyond this weblog: Old Links
