chart conference

long time no here.
meanwhile writing for a conference about the role of an author, a viewer and an institution.
once again discovering fascinating similarities with basic set of one another mind - conceptualist's in the seventies and lucy lippards writing. she is a zik-zak thinker. missing them; especially at places like academic conferences, about 'computers and art history'. been able to see many ways how to teach, many database managing systems and different ways of retreiving images. but it was all the quest for quantity.

among all - many ways how to look and enjoy but almost no triggers how to think why today is like it is. universities are like monasteries, after pekka himanen. they are not the place for academic origins in the manner of sokrate's dialogue, but a detached islands where only one way of thinking is acceptable, while the worst is that is interelated with corporativist uniformism. questions and clicks have no space.

since i was talking about author, who is encouraged and well articulated in the historical materialism [especially in institutional art history] it was amazingly interesting to be present at the another conference in one of the creative institutions. the talk 'is copyright a good thing?' was properly focusing on 'hit that is going on in the law for copyright. the driving force of criticism was the beaurocratic aparatus as part of corporativist capital, mechanisms of promotion and distribution. it is clear that paranoia is provoked by technology and its soon used-to-be free distribution. at this moment the perspective is much more difused and bizzare as it was, not so long ago - remember the 1995 - when were all optimists and cyber students. but people in sarajevo had other things to do.

i realized the problem of copyright and intellectual property is huge and complex, spreading like a virus in so many different fields.

pre||view:
the gesture of freedom is more important than crying for your idea which is misused at wrong place (be aware of double 'hit, its big trouble). such an ethic gesture demands a mindset of total cooler, of a raver and a hacker. they know it. the other few also. post conceptualist, post-structuralists, post-feminists. and you.

but before it gets better it looks like we won't be able to lean on any kind of tradition. she wont be able to write about lucy lippard. you won't be able to watch video that he bought at my friends house. i wont be able to lend a book to tita.

why not adapt licence system. artist would love licenses like that, but seems they don't really know it, or at least they dont get the advanteges of it.

again a regular story of this blog and her thoughts, his writing and their wish: don't buy what goverments are selling you.

it's getting ridicuolous out there.

has the war already started?


london - rhizomathic core of leftovers.

the women sitting across gave me a magic smile.
