Taxonomy is everywhere.
This past week, I did two Art Dirt Redux http://spaghetti.nujus.net/artDirt interviews, that indicate a new discourse of sorts for the digital art arena. One was with Marc Garret of http://www.furtherfield.org
and the other with [PAM] http://perpetualartmachine.com. Garret talks
about node London, a media arts festival that was de-centralized and
non-hierarchical and [PAM] that talks about video art folksonomy.
Things are getting interesting when you look at the steve.museum
http://www.steve.museum.com as well. I will write a deeper theoretic
analysis of tagging on my blog, this week. In the meantime you can
subscribe directly to the RSS feed at http://post.thing.net/blog/9/feed Assembled Cinema was presented on May 20th on dvblog.org http://dvblog.org/assembled-cinema-gh-hovagimyan/
Doron Golan who started dvblog says that the video (assembled cinema)
got 7700 downloads in two days. It’s also worth checking out
Doron’s other video site http://the9th.com/
Speaking of sound art.Carey Peppermint is doing some pretty terrific
actions at Hartwick College. He has set up a solar powered sound art
installation in the woods for his Wild Information Network; http://restlessculture.net/wildinfonet/ Also take a look at his performance videos. http://restlessculture.net/practicalperformance/ .
They resemble early conceptual works that involve an action and
documentation but don’t be lulled into writing them off. They are very
smart and up to date.
