Sable Island Poet -- Jill MacLean -- 44°N 60°W

"curve to your own mortality, see how
grasses grow through an empty hoof
and watch the migrant finch, its feathers
the blue of ocean, intensified
as a lens bends
sunlight to burning"

Julian Rosefeldt

A film still from "The Perfectionist."
Julian Rosefeldt, a German artist born in 1965 who lives in Berlin, makes "visually opulent, earnestly political films and videos. His work is high-minded, excessively middlebrow and seemingly bent on tweaking consciousness seductively and without strain," writes Roberta Smith.

On the June 17th 2007 our group invaded media and television territory intruded and impeached its trueness as well as its credibility. Pointed out the possible confusion of media presented picture of our wolrd for the real one. Is everything that our media such as newspapers, television, internet offer on daily basis real truth or reality? It is this idea that our project is to introduce to general public, sort of reminder to everyone. We truly believe that independet territory of television governed by public law is that kind of media which can handle such thing even at the cost of self impeachement. Let it be this kind of appeal for our future and reminder to any media that the truth must be presented at any cost.

Chris Salter -- The Architecture of Listening

"MEDIA DETERMINE OUR SITUATION" writes the German theorist Friedrich Kittler, imagining a world where human perception and being are replaced by archives, code, systems, and networks. This is not the stuff of science fiction—to be unleashed on us in some distant future—but rather the present.

«Video Texte» (1975)



A sequence of video-specific poems. Purely linguistic poems which are constructed on the temporal, sculptural and technical possibilities of the video system. Evolutions of some methods of concrete poetry. The TV set becomes a processual text object.

What emerges is an intimation of something that is actually an invisible process, namely reading; what remains behind is a trace of the intake of information."

Sole, R. V., & Cancho, R. F. I. (2001). The small world of human language. Proc. Royal Society London, 268, 2261-2265.

"...a statistically significant property has been reported about the organization of human language. In spite of the huge number of words that can be stored by a human, any word in the lexicon can be reached with fewer than three intermediate words, on average.

...the graph connecting words in language shows the same statistical features as other complex networks. The short distance between words arising from the SW[Small World] structure indicates that language evolution might have involved the selection of a particular arrangement of connections between words.

If the SW features derive from optimal navigation needs... words the main purpose of which is to speed-up navigation must exist... According to our calculations, the 10 most connected words are `and’, `the’, `of ’, `in’, `a’, `to’, `’s’, `with’, `by’ and `is’. These words are characterized by a very low or zero semantic content."

Q: Would you say that these robots have some type of creativity?

A: As yet, we have not seen that. What we have seen are devices which we call the queens, which are one of our nervous net controllers, embedded into another form of nervous net controller. And what that allows us to do is make devices that are, in fact, capable of learning, that are subject to moods.

SKEUMORPH

N. Katherine Hayles - Boundary Disputes: Homeostasis, Reflexivity, and the Foundations of Cybernetics - Configurations 2:3

A skeuomorph is a design feature, no longer functional in itself, that refers back to an avatar that was functional at an earlier time. The dashboard of my Toyota Camry, for example, is covered by vinyl molded to simulate stitching; the simulated stitching alludes back to a fabric that was in fact stitched, although it no longer serves that function in my car. Skeuomorphs visibly testify to the social or psychological necessity for innovation to be tempered by replication.
