game studies
game studies is a peer reviewed journal, pretty much set up by espen aarseth, and is one of the better places to find content related to game theory.
[Wed 26 Feb 2003]
inflect
from the press kit (and hey, i'm on the board so this is like totally gratuitous promotion):
[Mon 17 Feb 2003]
icdg
the international centre for digital content. housed or attached to john moores universityand is between industry, research, and education. quite an innovative model by the look of it. they have an ma program, and it looks like the work with industry, to professional development, not sure what else. be a good place to visit if you're interested in education, new media, and research futures.
[Wed 12 Feb 2003]
mith
maryland institute for technology in the humanities, title sort of sums it up. a collaborative research centre. this is similar to what i'd like to try and do here at rmit.
[Fri 7 Feb 2003]
lightbox
lightbox is a tool developed by the maryland institute of technology in the humanities and lets users share a common repository of images and compare them. matt kirschenbaum has been involved in the development of this. it runs on windows and unix, so should run under os x. a quick read of the documentation tells me the command line things i'd need to make it happen. i'm wondering if something like this might be useful in a cinema studies class where students were all able to look at and compare an image or images at the same time, and if this would be a qualitatively more useful way of doing this than all looking and talking about the same image, at the same time. might have to play with this.
[Fri 7 Feb 2003]
tekka
a new subscription only journal sponsored by eastgate, edited by anja rau. i took out a charter subscription, so i imagine my name will one day be immortalised in pixels on an archive screen somewhere. if it lives up to its brief it will be good, but being subscription based is brave. will be an interesting test of a business model.
[Sun 19 Jan 2003]
fact
a uk centre for film art and creative technology. i think creative technology means new technologies, which means digital technologies, which means electronic digital technologies. but i aren't sure. i think the mission statement is just a tad too clever there. since it is hard to think of many artistic practices that don't use technology creatively. but big bold brave.
[Sat 11 Jan 2003]
digital fiction
uk site that has a half decent list of links but also a lot of very interesting creative work. to be returned to.

the living internet
well it sounds like something from a middle brow national geographic doco, and the design does little to disabuse you of the idea, but an eclectic collection. not certain of the province or the scholarship of what it contains, useful for pointers and directions, but i'd follow up on what you find.
[Mon 2 Dec 2002]

[Mon 23 Sep 2002]
montevideo
Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst (netherlands media art institute), one of those european places that make you squirm with interest and curiosity. there's a map available. from their web site:
hotbed
handing on tradition by electronic dissemination, yes, it produces the acronym hotbed. sheesh. it uses an archive of traditional scottish music and seeks to use the network to facilitate access, learning, and ethnographic/musicological practices.
i know one of the people involved in this (saw it presented at drh2002) and so might be able to bring some smafe stuff to hotbed. which could produce interesting progeny in the acronym department.
[Mon 9 Sep 2002]
bpdg
cory doctorow's article on the broadcast protection discussion group, a u.s. federal committee that basically wants to ensure all hardware for things like digital tv can in no way be used to gather, repurpose, et al content. it is an appalling model.
[Tue 3 Sep 2002]
art or not
web or net art project game thingo where you add stuff and then you and others vote (scale of 1 to 10) on whether it's art or not. one of those self deprecating ironic postnetwork art things that critiques its own institutionalisationism (that means it wants to be outside but knows that to be outside you have to be inside).
[Sat 1 Jun 2002]
andrew mactavish
andrew mactavish is a new media humanities computing sort of canadian. got drunk on his whiskey with him and his mates once at a conference. so a fine time had by all. probably helped that we were all foreigners in america at the time too. he has been instrumental in setting up a new media curriculum that combines theory and practice, and is currently examining some streaming media work.

[Mon 20 May 2002]
acmi
the australian centre for the moving image. yes it's over budget. yes it's behind schedule. yes, when it opens it will be for that window of time the best place in the world to look at, participate in, and wonder at, screen based media content. i just hope the web site gets better.

keyworx
dutch developed multi-user cross media synthesizer (it's a dinner party conversation starter). lets networked distant artists share a library of self generated content and for each user to do rather extraordinary things with that library. i saw it running at lanmark in bergen, a bek sponsored event. the images on the walls don't appear much till you see how they are actually produced. then it's trés impressive. (it's all in the catalogue essay, as they say.)
as the web site says:
computer fine arts
work that isn't quite interactive video but more quicktime collage with multiple quicktime movies (often the same movie embedded multiple times) embedded on a web page. some of them are very elegant, in particular pecker. i've no idea what the secret meaning of the relationship/s between the sequences are, but it looks good and i like its multiplicity.
[Tue 8 Jan 2002]
lev manovich
lev manovich wrote the language of new media, a landmark work on new media which uses film and other visual arts as one of its key methodologies for addressing new media. sees databases and interfaces as two key aspects of all new media. the book is wide ranging, and often goes in odd ways where points are raised, you sort of think that x would be either counter or contribute to this and sure enough, several pages later x appears. so it seems to read like manovich thinking out loud, which once you accept that is ok.
on the other hand there are passages that are gems but also bits that are dramatically and tragically under theorised. at times arguments are made by analogy but the analogies are extended a very long way and then bought together as a conclusion yet it seems to have been forgotten through there that they're analogies! at times like this more careful argument is needed. the last chapter on digital cinema, while largely a reprise of previous work, is provocative and important.
[Thu 3 Jan 2002]
realtime
an australian newspaper come magazine that covers the performing and media arts. great content.

mit compcult
new research lab at mit that will make art while doing research and theory. from their pr announcement:
our research will result in specific works of art, but will also help further an understanding of the relationships between art, technology, and cultural production. some of the strategies we practice include interventions in contemporary consumer electronics, creating special media events for public situations and applying technical development to cultural agendas that wouldn't normally receive it. Our central interest is in physically embodied (rather than screen-based) work.
oh, is this installation art?

future media home
future media homes was a research project out of the medialab at uiah. series of research projects/ideas around possibilties. applied research i guess but free of what you might call commercial concerns. (their approach is simply that industry's fine at working out what they need but not much good at working out what people need...)

arc.hive
a new list for net.arty sorts has been set up in australia. largely to make a space for the sort of stuff that was once kosher on other lists and now is jumped on, from mez (one of the founders, and demezzangled):
For some time now, various hierarchically-dependant entities have been cauterizing net/web-based activities [including email- lists] in an effort 2 streamline and contain the netwurk in all its varied formulations. [Net.art] Lists that have previously embraced expressive/communicative tendencies of all types are now dying [heavily] moderated and flame-driven deaths, with the survivors either hanging on for dear text or abandoning the status-quo-seeking shells in static swarms.
_arc[texture.eyes].hive_ seeks to fill the gap left by those lists previously devoted to the evolution, discussion, practice, & slippage of all actions oriented around the net/web. _arc[texture.eyes].hive_ will try to jab at buttoned boundaries and recreate a space where experimentation and debate regarding any label you care to stick on/over creative practices involving the network [ie new media art, code poetry, net.art, e.literature, content alteration poetry, web art, electronic art, hackerese, digital projects, net.wurks, programmer writing, spam art, incremental texts, theory/hybrid factions, software art, performative interactions, werdwurk, calls for applications and submissions, gamer rhetoric, technical information/details, net-linked announcements etc etc] is to be expected and encouraged.
We [mez & ftr - the moderators] see the _arc[texture.eyes].hive_ list as a dissemination/node point for all things geared for/towards/in the net/web, including the active creation of net.wurks via the list mechanism.
[Fri 9 Nov 2001]
nmediac
journal of new media and culture, first issue sometime in 2002. peer reviewed and just starting out. wants to be print based but also mentions audiovisual stuff so i guess it is going to combine the journal with the web site. very promising.
[Thu 8 Nov 2001]
flesh and metal
french site that links to net.art and has a commentary on it. i think they invite people to submit a piece of work that they like (or don't like i guess, not sure). they have several editions of this and looking through their stuff can uncover some interesting things.

[Mon 5 Nov 2001]
interactive institute
swedish insitute that their blurb describes as
maureen thomas
senior creative research fellow at the interactive institute and the creative director of cambridge uni's moving image studio. a dramatist who is working in ict, primarily in relation to narrative. directed/wrote vala, an 'interactive hypermovie' which models some of her ideas. vala has 2 hours of video and music and uses a real actor and various designers/programmers. from the postcard:
vala is an interactive non-linear hypermovie, where the storyteller, vala, guides you through the viking 'runerow' of characters into navigable narrative landscapes...
maureen.thomas@interactiveinstitute.se should get to her.
[Mon 5 Nov 2001]
narrativity studio
the narrativity studio at the interactive institute at malmö (sweden). this is the place that maureen thomas is the creative director of, and they have a suite of projects combining new media, ict, and narrative in various social contexts. the brochure reads: "community and identity as narrative, narrative play, new loics, new grammars, new rhetorics in interactive narrative". it offers collaboration between boffins and creatives, though i suspect it needs a dose of hands on grubby theorists too...
[Mon 5 Nov 2001]
narrative toys
a project run by åsa harvard at the interactive institute in malmö (sweden) which combines computer stuff with toys to make 'new types of narrative media'. they have some interesting projects and it's a great idea.
[Mon 5 Nov 2001]
nordic interactive
a copenhagen based nordic organisation which seeks to establish connections between research, industry, and culture throughout the nordic region. it is sort of like a secretariat i suppose, and organised the nic2001 conference as part of this charter. it is an ambitious idea but given some of the networking and exchange that nic2001 enabled is perhaps a very good idea. and it might also just be one of those nordic management things that are done better than anywhere else. some state support, industry involvement, university support, in an environment where everyone seems to understand that economic collaboration and support is a given and joint responsibility.
[Sun 4 Nov 2001]
doors of perception
this is an amsterdam site that i think comes from john thackara's design firm. they also host an annual conference 'event' that has a particularly novel approach to such things. it is themed and combines artists with theorists in extremely creative and engaged ways.

[Wed 17 Oct 2001]
dr hugo
net.art and sort of telematics-of-the-mind (not sure but seems to be a new age meets new media with a dash of synaethesia-as-inner-space). has some interesting content but after a quick perusal i can't tell if it's ironic or not. which if i were being in a smugly post conference cocktail question kind of mood would let me say something like being quintessentially postmodern, this ironic mode.
ah, turned off the mute on the powerbook. it isn't ironic. :-) love the rollover brain hemispheres. sort of net.art's jeff koon?
[Tue 16 Oct 2001]
andrew murphie
andrew is a nsw new media theorist who's interests cross over quite a bit into my own. we caught up at a symposium in sydney (code and craft, about post digital cinema) a couple of years ago, and he used to have a lecture online on music as the major trope of hypertext that i've quoted quite a bit. anyway, in finishing off the essay i've been writing (on links, excess, and realism) for a u.s. journal there are a couple of dead earls.
my immediate response is to leave them dead. after all the reason bibliographical citations of web resources have a date of access is to acknowledge the volatility of this content. more than this though is the recognition that things pass in this medium, and that when we write in and with this medium this is a condition of our writing. goodness knows hundreds of my own pages have shifted their urls, disappeared, or simply had their content rather dramatically change.
the editors, however, see things differently. so in my search for andrew murphie i've found his very elegant new homepage which contains links to deleuze and guattari resources (thank you), as well as one of the best course introduction pages i think i've seen on the web. has a blog like utility and design as well as a conversational tone that, well, i think i'll adopt. :-)
