digihub @ phoenix brighton: artchat - digitalised subjectivity? 13.00 to 14.00

[aharon]

Hiyas,

Following is a catchup on yesterday's artchat and today's one.

There is an idea to find out if a skype connection can help bring more
people in,

Today between 13.00 and 14.00:

Digitalised subjectivity poses a question - what happened to the
subjective in a digitalised world?

We are going to explore, as usual, via informal exchange of links and
ideas.

A few links to begin with:
http://rhizome.org/editorial/2002/jan/15/academic-conference-on-online-subjectivity/
http://www.marxists.org/archive/bernal/works/1930s/psycho.htm
http://libcom.org/library/freedom-subjectivity-lenin-philosophy-cyril-smith

Crowd powered visualisation as a new division between the subjective &
objective?

Online augmented information as another, perhaps interlinked,
candidate for a new kind of division?

Lots to chat and banter.

Tea, coffee & biscuits - as usual.

here is the twitt flow from yesterday's youtube Vs giss.tv

: * talking about youtube & giss.tv

* the "death" of giss.tv as far as popularity is concerned. eg
http://www.videomenu.com/index.html

* "death" of utube as being of & by the public. eg corp attention tool
using
values of the dispossessed. irony alert

* giss.tv as an OS project, is it infact is based on preventative
power
structure of knowledge (eg programming) & politics?

* possible meanings of today's chat for artists:
- is it interesting, as artists, to ask what something might mean, or
is
that "job" should be to historical?
- when people r public rather than audience, have they morphed from
meaning
generators to verbilisers, activity explorers?
- is art concerned with meanings, has passed its time? (ie above
question is
like asking why god made the sky blue?)

All the best!
