¶ in the middle of work. searching for some bios. sometimes i think art history is about biographies of people. it seems so ticklish to work with people's data - the process of input and output.

in the meantime i find another great initiative. they are active since the early 1994. lineart makes me think of becoming exclusive at my work as a curator. i want all digital art to be exclusively made in an open attitude. besides it was not so rarely that i have read an idea about the art that could be our everyday troubleshooter. although i think this is way too much idealistic, i still think it's worth to act like this. also radical activism can look like 'useless' but on the contrary we would still be living in a feudalistic society.

however, i am aware that after this proprietary age we won't live in a better place but just different. there will always be dark side of the moon and sunny side of the alps. black and white - the eternal coexistence.

luke :

ehey, how about being exclusive by inclusivity? the other day when we talked about open.source, gpl, copyleft and linux, i suddenly realised that i'm demanding something from my friends that they don't want or cannot do. do i have the right to condemn acts of a friend that has no patience to download and install .ogg plugin for winamp? do i, with seeing this as the only "right" option, become exclusivistic?

is doing an "choice for everyone" excluding those who don't want to choose (or want things done by other people for them)?

it's really important how we phrase and contextualise this. maybe the point is just in "possibility of choice".

potiho :

"possibility of choice"

Is I think the clue.
when only everyone (utopia) could know what is the spectre, the range of possibilities and whit that the possibility of choosing,
that would be all right, we would have some basis for freedom of choice, equality the possibility to know what are their possibilities and the ability to chose, I do think it is too much, even in the name of freedom to expect everyone to be active rather than passive, I unfortunatly we live no utopica, but we only dream of it.

I had got a dream to make my business, but I did not earn enough amount of cash to do this. Thank goodness my dude suggested to take the home loans. Thus I took the secured loan and realized my desire.
