<nettime> trash pickup |
first one in a triptyc of recycl commodity - trash - art - commodity ... trash - treasure - treshold there's a fourth also but it's not there here you just trash your stuff, and you can help recycle before the stuff is picked up and turned into art. because once it's art it's hard to get rid of. the illusion of recycling when the trash is outsourced to china and produces more waste than was coming in. entropy. this is like the perpetuum mobile idea. if things are recycled things will go around and all is wheel and well. preliminar kuratorial statement: boy, i don't know what to say - once things are art they will be displayed bluntly as things as art for their appearance. another aspect is the public service. once it's trashed it's returned to the public domain, nature and culture, actually culture, as nature. there's a secret culture, well i guess it has to have its secrets to be a culture, a book title 'cultural secrets' will sell well. a nuance is not a secret. i realize this is hypertext as it only follows itself. if somebody stuffs it, it's at least free. so then, it's public domain net art, as before. next stage, to come, is the transformation from art to thing, once something is art and is returned to a state of ordinary object. yeah you see that's not so easy, it will still have a smell of art. the fourth state which isn't there is the so called thing in itself. which i think i refuted in an earlier post about schopenhauer. it was refuted very easy, now i don't remember but you can look it up. the start of this project was rather idealistic, i wanted to land the people who searched for 'trash pickup' onto a page and serve them ads. that might work, i don't know yet. the money i get from ads will be part of the ars publica project which is getting money from net art, so far ars publica got 6,250 euro in funding, and throughout 2007 maybe 3,600 dollars in ads. i'm working on my pension. that's all for now, we'll be back later with the other two. http://noemata.net/trash to come http://arspublica.noemata.net/art/ - we don't have art/ http://storyus.noemata.net/ - it's too slow best regards, Alias Artman Art-Kurator we're intellectuals - friday we went to hear Baudrillard's talk on art. He didn't say much, actually he wasn't there (get it?). It's true, he had to cancel because of sickness. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
