blkmale4u: hi
blkmale4u: who r u
blkmale4u: hello
blkmale4u: r u there
Bed-In New Zealand: yes, we're here in bed
jaceee: it's late evening for you?
Bed-In New Zealand: its 8:30pm on friday
Bed-In New Zealand: 1.5 hours north of wellington
jaceee: nothing like 20000 km distance, eh? about as close to the other side of the world as you can get from Carelia, here in Finland, on the Russian border...
jaceee: have you had any other visits online?
Bed-In New Zealand: does anyone out there have a mike?
(private text from blkmale4u and from FABIOcam noting various body texts has been removed)
jaceee: I noticed your event was announced on Rhizome...
jaceee: you might get serious action soon...
Bed-In New Zealand: everyone, this is a serious event, concerning world peace, if you want to talk about other stuff please go somewhere else
(private text from FABIOcam noting various body texts has been removed)
*** Bed-In New Zealand has booted FABIO CAM ON ***
jaceee:
you should have put a password on the room, set it for 16 occupants
jaceee: and only had the password on the web site...
jaceee: or on emails announcements, not had an open room
jaceee: sorr, the audio isn’t good enough to understand
jaceee: I am on a gigabit network backbone here, I think you are on a dial-up line maybe?
Bed-In New Zealand: anyhow, we wanted an open room so anyone could join in - too idealist perhaps. how did you hear about this? Yes, in answer to you last question
jaceee: the rhizome mailing list
jaceee: www.rhizome.com
jaceee: net.art
Bed-In New Zealand: good night (to a private blkmale4u message)
Bed-In New Zealand: what do you think of it. we have mixed feelings, as do others
jaceee: of what?
jaceee: yeah, it depends, though, sometimes it breaks up
Bed-In New Zealand: sorry, i meant this project
jaceee: sounded not like a New Zealand accent-
jaceee: well, you never know... it may turn out very interesting
jaceee: ahah, so the audio is okay...
jaceee: no, Carelia in central north Finland, on the Russian border
Bed-In New Zealand: as you said earlier, sorry it got confusing back there
jaceee: I am an artist and teacher working in the intersection of communications technology and art
jaceee: http://neoscenes.net FYI
Bed-In New Zealand: and, what's the word in Finland about the terrorist situation and the us response?
jaceee: not much. people were shocked at the initial event, but nothing much after that...
jaceee: oh, not really, it's large, so,
jaceee: around 1000 pages
jaceee: just a minute, let me think of a text or so...
Bed-In New Zealand: is the whole site yours?
jaceee: yez
jaceee: maybe eight dialogues...
jaceee: neoscenes.net/network/eight/eight.html
Bed-In New Zealand: just got there
jaceee: project description, maybe 3rd 4th paragraph...
jaceee: idea of dialogue as networked activism or something like that...
Bed-In New Zealand: we're reading it now
Bed-In New Zealand: are you from Finland?
jaceee: no from Alaska originally, but have lived in Europe for 12 years now
jaceee: I left when the Reagan years were in a frenzy
jaceee: I was in the WTC 2 weeks before.
Bed-In New Zealand: shit
bob: hi from oregon
jaceee: hey, if you click in your own video window, you can put a text below the image...
bob: so what time is it in new zealand?
jaceee: hey Bob, what brought you here?
jaceee: rhizome?
bob: I am new at this and just wanted to meet some people from other countries... so why don't you have a video jacee?
jaceee: good connection latin -- I get 26 fps!
latin: here from nyc
jaceee: I am using my DVcam to dub some tapes at the moment, so...
latin: really thats great
latin: ivist has no women
Bed-In New Zealand: it's 8:52pm on Friday in NZ
latin: population of women is like 3
jaceee: better to go to a local bar if yo uwant to meet women, latin...
jaceee: yep?
jaceee: so, you folks Lennon-Ono fans...
bob: well it's late here in oregon...i better go it was nice meeting you all bye
jaceee: probably the obvious question
Bed-In New Zealand: yep
jaceee: I have about 75 Lennon/Ono albums somewhere...
jaceee: always relevant!
Bed-In New Zealand: well, after that little flurry of activity here we are again
jaceee: Ono was and still is one of the most important living artists...
jaceee: of course, Lennon, in his way
jaceee: She had an exhibition that was touring Scandinavia in the mid-90's where she came to Iceland (I was living there then)
jaceee: she's mind-blowing, WAY ahead of her time, like Louise Bourgeoise
Bed-In New Zealand: very true. there is also a nice review of the yes yoko ono exhibition at www.stretcher.org, a new internet pub that i am involved with. and, i agree about her being way ahead of her time! incendiary.
jaceee: I can remember playing her albums back in the 70's and it just freaked people out...
jaceee: they did some vinyl then that, yeah, incendiary
jaceee: vinyl
jaceee: oh yeah?:
jaceee:
I use the text window thing to help teach my son English .. he reads it aloud to me...
jaceee: yeah...? (audio asking about ivisit and other webcam programs)
jaceee: about 4 years? maybe and other stuff like cuseeme for 6?
jaceee: somehting like that
jaceee: IRC for 8 years
jaceee: uh, well, the pasword on the room, to filter out the jerks, though that is part of the territory
jaceee: otherwise, let's see. you can record the session, and that might be good for documentation
jaceee: well, it's mostly pervs trawling...
jaceee: the voice will be recorded
Bed-In New Zealand: no text?
jaceee: well, I shouldnt be so negative...
jaceee: no, the text you have to copy paste
jaceee: select it in the window and paste to a simple text doc or something
jaceee: yeah
jaceee: so, how long will you go?
jaceee: on for
jaceee: you just started, right?
jaceee: okay, cool. I'll leave my connection running here. I've made some screen shots
jaceee: and will check in from time to time
Bed-In New Zealand: right on, peace!
Bed-In New Zealand: nice to meet you
jaceee: you know how to do that? apple-shift-3 keys?
jaceee: you might want that for doc, too...
Bed-In New Zealand: that's a good idea!
jaceee: you will hear the machine make a "click" and the pit file is saved at the upper level of the HD
jaceee: pict file
Bed-In New Zealand: yup, got it, thanks!
jaceee: when I first read about the project, I thought, "oh no, not ..."
Bed-In New Zealand: and now?
jaceee: but, you know, the elegance of much of lennono's works were in their simplicity and a-historical relevance -- can be repeated daily!
Bed-In New Zealand: like the bed-in!
jaceee: connection and dialogue is essential these days, and simply is not happening.
Bed-In New Zealand: too true...
jaceee: yes, the spontaneity of their performative-type happenings (along with other Fluxus events...)
Bed-In New Zealand: what are you students saying about the war?
Bed-In New Zealand: by the way here's our websites: amyberk.com and twcdc.com
jaceee: well, we are in what might be one of the safest corners of the world, they are following the media, some of them looking for alternative sources, and I feed them info from my global network
jaceee: Finland had a savage war with the Soviets in 1939, and the front line ran through the town I am in
jaceee: so there is very much living memory of WAR
Bed-In New Zealand: um... your global network, can you say more?
jaceee: that changes peoples perceptions immediately
jaceee: well, I have built up a network of individuals who I work with, a personal network of different kinds of people, and I get a lot of flow from that which I redistribute to the various student groups that I work with
JMPO: hello new zeland
jaceee: I teach in about 15 universities/academies each year
Bed-In New Zealand: wow, that sounds exhausting... and hello JMPO
jaceee: well, it is an important facet of my work, to practice community-building...
jaceee: sorry, what did you say?
JMPO: hello like they are small, it is at night over there I am of mexico and I send a greeting to all
jaceee: apple-shift-3

(removed private text from napoli boy)
Bed-In New Zealand:
sorry, this is not that kind of room
Bed-In New Zealand: we're fasting for world peace, won't you join us?
NYC:ToniSant: i don't understand what you mean by "not that kind of room"
NYC:ToniSant: are you planning on not sleeping for 2 days?
Bed-In New Zealand: its weird, just get these people passing through looking for sex - guess its better than many other things
NYC:ToniSant: i c
Bed-In New Zealand: i don't think i'll make it
NYC:ToniSant: for a moment i thought you were talking to me...sorry -
NYC:ToniSant: yes, i've heard about sex-seekers on iVisit.
Bed-In New Zealand: then there's the misunderstandings - i was talking to napoli boy!
NYC:ToniSant: i never even saw napoli boy
NYC:ToniSant: mmm...
NYC:ToniSant: like i said, i'm still trying to figure out iVisit
Bed-In New Zealand: he was quick - i think he just wanted to connect to the bed-in - got to admit it does sound a little sexy
Bed-In New Zealand: what's the pic on your cam
NYC:ToniSant: yep! that sort of stuff happens in or around beds most of the time doesn't it.
NYC:ToniSant: ?
NYC:ToniSant: that's my room...
NYC:ToniSant: i'm not pointing the cam on me yet.
NYC:ToniSant: i'm still naked...
Bed-In New Zealand: i c
NYC:ToniSant: and i don't want to give people the wrong impression.
Bed-In New Zealand: oh no
NYC:ToniSant: i'll put some bed clothes on very soon...promise.
Bed-In New Zealand: where did you hear about this event?
NYC:ToniSant: i got an email from a friend who has friends in NZ
NYC:ToniSant: i'm an online junkie...so i'm bound to be attracted to this sort of thing.
NYC:ToniSant: my friend and i are both affiliated to the department of performance studies at new york university
Bed-In New Zealand: we've had a whole slew of reactions to it : from brilliant to pathetic
Bed-In New Zealand: do you know anna mccarthy in the film dept
NYC:ToniSant: i got some interesting reactions too when i told people about it.
Bed-In New Zealand: like what?
NYC:ToniSant: well...
NYC:ToniSant: my co-workers (online junkies too!) couldn't get it at first...
NYC:ToniSant: they said: "what's the point?"
Bed-In New Zealand: good question, we're asking ourselves that... we felt so powerless
NYC:ToniSant: and my wife (NOT an online junkie) asked if i'd be away from her all weekend.
NYC:ToniSant: but...
NYC:ToniSant: there's much more to this bed-in than meets the eye.
Bed-In New Zealand: oh ye...
NYC:ToniSant: i understand that you are artists...
Bed-In New Zealand: yes
NYC:ToniSant: what kind of art do you do?
NYC:ToniSant: are you performance artists?
Bed-In New Zealand: not exactly...
Bed-In New Zealand: although all my work involves interventions in public space - sometimes personal ones...
Bed-In New Zealand: amy is a visual artist writer and educator
NYC:ToniSant: i c
Bed-In New Zealand: i started a group called together we can defeat capitalism
NYC:ToniSant: i saw the website
Bed-In New Zealand: you know, "culture jamming" type stuff
NYC:ToniSant: absolutely
NYC:ToniSant: i see this bed-in as a performance...
NYC:ToniSant: in more ways than one.
NYC:ToniSant: i'd love to talk with you and amy about this.
NYC:ToniSant: maybe not right this second...
NYC:ToniSant: but later, for sure.
Bed-In New Zealand: sure, well here we are!
CAMI: hai
CAMI: remember me
Bed-In New Zealand: toni - Ok later...

Bed-In New Zealand: funny, i guess we're all just looking at each other...

NYC:ToniSant: in my case this is better than TV
Bed-In New Zealand: yes, its fascinating...
CAMI: andy

Bed-In New Zealand: yes cami
Bed-In New Zealand: amy is asleep to my left
Bed-In New Zealand: cami, you are in korea?

CAMI: every body do understand the inorder to getrid of terorr ther is 2 waays
Bed-In New Zealand: yes, its very shocking... i still find it hard to believe it happened...
Bed-In New Zealand: it seems so much like a disaster movie
*** Bed-In New Zealand has removed NYC:ToniSant ***
Bed-In New Zealand:
hey no we didn't!!
NYC:ToniSant: i'm still here
NYC:ToniSant: what happened?
Bed-In New Zealand: dunno... no matter...
NYC:ToniSant: mmm...
NYC:ToniSant: interesting
Bed-In New Zealand: i was going to say how beautiful your apt looks - i have it on a large size..
Bed-In New Zealand: it looks very atmospheric
NYC:ToniSant: i'm trying to attract some traffic.
NYC:ToniSant: thank you...
Bed-In New Zealand: highly pixelated
NYC:ToniSant: it is quite atmospheric actually-
NYC:ToniSant: i live in an islamic neighborhood too...
Bed-In New Zealand: can you gauge the feeling there?
NYC:ToniSant: so you can image what it's like outside my apartment too.
NYC:ToniSant: absolutely!
Bed-In New Zealand: and...
NYC:ToniSant: and i can sum it up in one four-letter word...
NYC:ToniSant: FEAR
NYC:ToniSant: we're all scared...very scared.
NYC:ToniSant: the scares from the WTC attack are still very fresh
Bed-In New Zealand: I guess being in NZ, we can't understand the level of fear in the USA
NYC:ToniSant: and we are not immune to the ongoing anthrax situation either
NYC:ToniSant: racism, patriotism, and many other isms are all over the place
NYC:ToniSant: it's quite intense here.
NYC:ToniSant: there isn't any mass hysteria or panic...
NYC:ToniSant: but the air is very tense
NYC:ToniSant: i'll tell you more in a minute.
NYC:ToniSant: brb
Bed-In New Zealand: brb?
Bed-In New Zealand: or sorry
NYC:ToniSant: sorry...be right back :-)
NYC:ToniSant: brb
NYC:ToniSant: junkie jargon.
jaceee: well, hey, i'm back.. from lunch and 3000 meter swim. snowing today, first of winter.
jaceee: so, how's it going?
jaceee: gettin' late, I guess
jaceee: I have a lot of disconnected windows on the screen
jaceee: looks like many have popped through
Bed-In New Zealand: i'm still here, but failing fast...
Bed-In New Zealand: 3000m is not bad! I’ve worked up to 1000m, but really want to do a mile, about 2000m i think
jaceee: hmmm. how to stay awake? it's not so easy. 66x25 meters, I think -- 88x25 yards, something like that
jaceee: how long are you two in NZ for -- you sounded like a kiwi, right?
Bed-In New Zealand: we got here in july and leave in Dec. I am USA/UK and amy is USA
NYC:ToniSant: andy...
jaceee: but you are only there temp now, on this residency?
Bed-In New Zealand: yes
