No Party @ SONA

Nancy Mauro-Flude — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:48:08 GMT

experiments in transmission based aesthetics presented by sister0.
Medium: Digital c prints on canvas. game- mod.

SONA GALLERY � CRN MURRAY/WARWICK STREET, Hobart, Tasmania.
16 � 31 November. ***Opening 19 November 21:00***

This is the first show in a series of studies around illegitimates, and bricoleurs: who inherit the memetic waste that washes downstream.

We look through via eyes of the main character, sister0, who lives in the wreckage of the new dark ages, inherits neo-liberal capitalist waste, wanders through its discarded wardrobe; transforms and plays with it.

Happy 8th anniversary dyne.org!!

HONF and Cellsbutton#02 participants motivated by Jaromil�s idea to go to Merapi Mountain on 8 August 2008 to celebrate this special day for dyne.org and the world. After the issues brought into Bricolabs mailing list and many positive responds from the others, 888 smoky mountains for HONF is definitely a must.

unregimented happiness has disappeared

Nancy Mauro-Flude — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 12:09:38 GMT

A friend sent me this quote. Possibly Apt and thought provoking and a little sad.
I repeat it here: From Adorno's Minimal Moralia[2951]

/Inter pares/. � [Latin: among equals] In the realm of erotic qualities, a revaluation seems to be occurring. Under liberalism, well into our day, married men from high society who were unsatisfied with their strictly brought up and correct spouses absolved themselves in the company of female artists, bohemians, sugar babies [/s�sse M�deln/: sweet maidens] and cocottes. With the rationalization of society this possibility of unregimented happiness has disappeared. The cocottes are extinct, the sugar babies probably never existed in Anglo-Saxon countries and other lands of technical civilization, while the female artists and those bohemians who exist parasitically in the mass culture are so thoroughly permeated with the latter�s reason, that those who flee in longing to their anarchy, to the free accessibility of their own use-value, are in danger of waking up to the obligation of engaging them as assistants, if not at least recommending them to a film-executive or scriptwriter they know. The only ones who are still capable of something like irrational love are precisely those ladies who the spouses once fled on excursions to Maxim�s [Maxim: famous restaurant in Paris]. While they are as tiresome to their own husbands, due to the latter�s fault, as their own mothers, they are at least capable of granting to others, what all others have withheld from them. The long since frigid libertine represents business, while the proper and well brought up lady represents yearning and unromantic sexuality. In the end, the ladies of society garner the honor of their dishonor, in the moment when there is no more society and no more ladies.

leaves+petalz : remembering the turn of the century

Nancy Mauro-Flude — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:13:10 GMT

Reaching for you I have reached the end of myself
And what is it you saw?
My self ...
(Conversation with the Goddess of Illusion)

Remembering the turn of the century, lamenting on people who have now left us. Looking through old influences that they brought to us. And how we were reminded of leaves+petalz by Netochka Nezvanova.

"The source and location - nowhere. The displaced garden is rootless, seedless, derived from technologically-altered and increasingly sophisticated information. Content and meaning disperse with such speed that sound rapidly advances in all directions ..."

A time of possibility and fascination. enchantment on what these new interfaces and platforms could bring for those who were already displaced.

Baglady 2.0

Nancy Mauro-Flude — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:57:58 GMT

Baglady 2.0 is a performance with a customised electronic performance tool, a bag that is embeded with a platform for broadcasting sound, digital images [video] and text.
This is being shown in a try out as a par tof the cultuur Lokaal Project.

I have been working with Marko from WORM on the programming and technical aspects.

sister0 is bag lady living in the wreckage of the new dark ages. A bricoleur, who inherits neo-liberal capitalist waste, wanders through its discarded wardrobe, transforms it and plays with it. But instead of collecting material items, she is a hunter-gatherer of ephemeral moments. She collect signs of magic in the everyday, the beauty in the banal. She travels light, carries around with her a magic bag that captures audio / video and streams this on the fly.

She Walks

Nancy Mauro-Flude — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:23:16 GMT

She�s about to get her cue, she shakes.
She who the river could not hold.

When she walks through your bedroom with butcher�s knives, you�ll know the truth.

-Ode to Ophelia.
