Olga Goriunova is curator and Annet Dekker is co-producer (as part
of aaaan.net) of the multi-venue exhibition 'Fun With Software' (in
Bristol) and 'Funware' (in Eindhoven and Dortmund). The exhibition
has many aspects to it, being in some ways a retrospective of certain
strands in software art, a set of propositions about the nature of
digital culture and an argument, made through the conjunction of
works, for a fundamental appreciation of fun as an inventive lively
force in all forms of life.

This discussion was carried out by email in late September and early
October 2010.


Matthew Fuller: 'Fun' is an interesting term to use, it is somehow,
juvenile, gleeful, grinning, something not as 'serious' as humour,
or jokes, which have their literature and interpretations, nor does
it necessarily correspond to the policy scam of 'creativity', or the
industrial dimension of games. But yet, there's a quality of fun which
links all these things and you have assembled some exemplary 'cases'
of them here. What forms does fun appear in, in the exhibition?

Olga Goriunova: 'Fun' for me is a force, an energy, an unfolding of
a certain ensemble of curiosity, inappropriateness, going beyond and
deviating from what is laid out or logically consequential to the
current condition. Such an energy can be easily recognised in science,
in art, as something traditionally acknowledged and aspired for,
though more recently endangered through neoliberal framing in terms of
usefulness if not direct profit.

As such, the idea behind the show is to think how freaks run the
world. The fun they have when poking at the screens of reality to
discover other realities is what I imagine the concept of fun is
about. Now, beyond shared qualities, there is a distinctiveness of fun
in relation to, broadly speaking, computation and computers. Fun here
becomes related to formal logic and repetition, to the question of
where software starts and ends, to mental states, to what operations
it can carry out on the world, to the cultures and usages of software,
to its building upon itself, to its aesthetics. Humour often adjoins
fun when software, but also its realm of production and operation,
is tested against dominance, boredom, madness, power; the fun I am
interested in can also be absurd rather than jolly.

Fun lets one see the territories that are in-between computer science
and digital folklore, the art and cultures of using conventional
software. Probably, the juvenile aspect you are talking about is the
unseriousness of fun, which is the bravery generally ascribed to
youth to ignore the often self-inflicted order of 'seriousness'. Such
seriousness is the effect of power systems, of orders of rationality
producing forces that act in a manner that is 'more royal than the
king'. And certainly, fun can be and is used then to update such
orders to complexify the systems of reinforcement.

The exhibition tries to attend to different aspects of fun. David
Link reconstructs the 'Love Letter Generator' written in 1952 by
Christopher Strachey, with Alan Turing, that predates all early
generally known text generating algorithms. It produced beautifully
absurd love letters on a Ferranti Mark 1 - one of the first electronic
computers. . On production, the poems were hung around the walls of
Manchester University, mystifying the students who came there to
do something very serious. The work presents the complete working
memory and processor of 'Love Letter Generator' which can be seen
on 12 cathode ray tubes which the Ferranti used for memory, storing
bits in phosphor. This work will be shown in the Arnolfini, Bristol,
and for Eindhoven, David is working on 'Draughts'. Here is how David
describes it: ' In 1947, the electrical engineers Frederic Williams
and Tom Kilburn succeeded at the University of Manchester to construct
the first reliable means for the volatile storage of information --
the Williams tube. Two years later, the device had evolved into the
Manchester Mark I, arguably the first computer worldwide. The earliest
major program for this machine was written in 1951 by an outsider, the
school teacher Christopher Strachey, who had obtained the technical
manual from a former fellow student, Alan Turing. The task of this
software was not to calculate the trajectory of missiles, but to play
the game of draughts (checkers).'

In these various versions of the exhibition and with the overall
concept, I try to present different time periods, problems through
which fun manifests, be they visual aesthetic or functional, subjects
or objects that have agency, cultures of producing fun and moments at
which it can emerge.

MF: Given these different time periods, how might you perhaps
characterize them, how does the possibility of fun proliferate or
diminish at different times in relation to specific kinds of computing
culture?

OG: This is a question to a broadminded historian. However, one
could certainly say that there is a different sensibility to every
time period, however hard it can be to give the exact dating. Here,
David Link's work comments of the 1950s and challenges the view that
computing was always heavily dominated by the military interests.
Strachey and Turing, as demonstrated in the show, were also implied
in the kinds of making sense of the world through the funny, peculiar
and the absurd. Computing of the 1950s and 1960s still remained quite
closed for wider tinkering. The 1970s and 1980s brought around home
computers and 'script kiddies' avant la lettre, and a new era of fun
begun, less like the absurdist fun of, say, the writer Daniil Kharms,
but more homebrew and hands-on, with a distinctive materiality and
aesthetic that is alive up to this moment. The 1990s were the years
of the explosion of digital avant-gardes, very similar to the Soviet
1920s, where similar drives of inventing and establishing new orders
could be sensed in unrelated domains and artists, computer labs of
Universities, companies made up the languages of today.

But again, if one changes the viewpoint and looks at the history
of computer science, a different timeline could be developed, with
brilliant humanist and humourous programmers, such as Dijkstra coming
to the fore, whose acts and breakthroughs stand as milestones.

MF: The first stage of the show, which has just opened at the
Arnolfini in Bristol, proposes perhaps a more 'Geeky' aspect of fun,
that suggests an interest in code, devices, unexpected solutions to
newly imagined problems. Is there a particular relation to fun in geek
cultures you are interested in here?

OG: Certainly, there is a particular relation to fun in geek cultures.
There is professional humour, the insider jokes, the obsession
and dedication, cultures of enquiry and leisure, of building and
maintaining the structures. I guess what interests me in this respect
is the artistic nature of geekiness, for instance, the way in which
objects and processes, projects that are thrilling artistic works are
produced within systems of coordinates which are not interested in art
at all.

The proximity of ways of working and imagining, of letting things
to be seen and experienced that are offered in certain 'geeky' work
and art work makes sensible certain kinds of forces that traverse
unrelated areas in making the world up.

Take 'Tempest for Eliza' by Eric Thiele. This project is done by a
programmer 'for fun'. It is there to explore the reality of TEMPEST
- a secret service code word coined in the late 60-s - early 70-s
for the using of and defending against 'compromising emissions'.
Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves, which can be caught in
order for the original data to be reconstructed. Tempest for Eliza
demonstrates this in a very precise manner: the software produces
images ('one for each note in the song'), which are displayed by the
computer monitor, which sends electromagnetic waves of very high
frequencies, which are then caught by short wave AM radio. Here, the
thoughtfulness and irony of the project are supported by the formalist
coherency of the images produced; and the seemingly non-purposeful
usage of a computer reveals the multi-layeredness and complexity of
its materiality.

The best examples of fun in geek cultures offer exactly that elegant
complexity at the level of formalist qualities, meanings, frameworks,
mixed with non-pretentiousness. As statements and ways of seeing, they
are laborious, laconic and exact, like haiku.


MF: As we've said, the show includes work from several time periods,
things that operate as art, but also under other rubrics outside of
art. Elsewhere, the idea of 'Digital Folk' is one way in which you
have spoken about certain computing cultures, the sensibilities active
here cross in and out of art, particular kinds of technicity. The show
feels refreshingly unconstrained in this way...

OG: As related to the question above, digital folk is a phenomenon
that draws heavily on geek cultures. At the same time, there is a
sense in which digital folk - a variety of cultures that use, adapt,
produce software that makes and 'changes' sense in relation to labour
conditions, states of work, certain aesthetic normalities, software
operations and allowances, always stay minor.

Digital folklore still awaits its dedicated scholar while certain
times and kinds of it are becoming lost. At the same time, a part of
it, along with software art, made its way into the world of iPhone
applications where it is often detached from its operationality, of
the ways in which it had a relation to the modes in which an OS works
or hangs, to the joint subject formed in-between a desktop computer
and its tense user.

MF: The Runme.org site also appears in the exhibition. As a busy place
for software art, what does it exemplify in relation to the theme of
the show?

OG: Runme developed most rapidly during early and mid naughties when
software art was in the period of bloom. In my view, which other
people of Runme might not share, it is included for the purposes of
remembering. Such remembering is about a somewhat missing round of
understanding of the 1990-s and early 2000-s which produced systems of
coordinates and languages inhabited by, transformed, used and re-used,
often rather violently, in the current sleek digital world.

Here it probably makes sense to provide a short description of Runme
for the purposes of reminding: "Runme.org is a software art repository
created by all the people who used and contributed to it since late
2002. It offers an interesting and slightly ironic perspective on
software art, and one that is rich in drawing upon programmers'
cultures alongside the more self-consciously 'artistic' enquiries.
Software art is a set of practices which focus on software as material
as well as a machine for making sense of the world we are all implied
in, and it works on destabilising some of its normalities. Hosting and
linking to over 400 projects, along with features and texts, Runme.org
is a project of self-organisation of an art current through the 'fun'
of exploration that tries to be open, and its position of relative
success is due, among other, to the perspectival humour and inclusive
drive of its structure."

MF: Is fun with software the only way to stop it driving you mad?

OG: If you consider software to be the backbone of most management
theory based processes that have an ambition to govern all aspects of
life in most developed countries (that's in fact the topic of your and
Andy Goffey's Evil Media Studies book, right?) then fun with software
is not only a way to stop losing sanity but also a way to sneak out,
which is maybe one and the same thing as one needs to get out in order
to remain in.


OG: I would like to say that this exhibition would never be possible
without two people which decided on producing it: Annet Dekker and
Annette Wolfsberger. Why did you decide to take it on?

Annet Dekker: Software art is often still regarded as belonging to
creative industries or nerds and not to experimentation, art or fun.
We very much believe in Olga's approach to software art and wanted
to emphasise its importance for art as well as its relation to the
structure of society and show this to as many people as we could take
on.

We also share your view on the lack of historical recognition or
understanding and certainly visibility of these kinds of works. We
think it is important to present these works and we are especially
attracted by the way Olga has framed the exhibition, not looking at it
from a deterministic technological point of view or a merely aesthetic
one but looking outside these almost traditional frameworks practiced
in art and start with fun. It shows perfectly that art has a wider
scope than is often addressed within the field. The focus on fun opens
up the exhibition as well as the field of software art which for many,
is a very closed territory consisting of and belonging to nerds,
trained specialists or large business corporations.

Similarly the concept of fun is not very much talked about and in
relation to software often only seen as being about play, gaming
and interactivity. This narrow view totally misses the depth or the
implications software art and fun have. By presenting works that show
different sides of software brings in new relations that hopefully
people will recognize as being closer to their own experience and at
best something they can actually influence if they wish to.


OG: Annet, is there a relation between the theme and structure of
the exhibition and the current layout of artistic, political, social
interest in Holland and EU? Does the exhibitions' thematic fit a
certain strategy or a missing discussion? Is there a way in which MU
and Baltan laboratories saw themselves implied in such problematic?

AD: I think it goes too far to connect the theme and structure to the
current political situation in the EU or the Netherlands - although
the issue of fun would in a way be a perfect vehicle to divert current
issues. It would certainly be a welcoming addition in todays political
climate as it may show things in a different perspective.

As for the venues that were approached to show Funware we tried
to find different environments to connect with and relate to in
a manner that will open up the discussion of the influence of
software. Arnofini with its history in performance and theatre
was an interesting point of departure to think of or invest with
software. MU on the other hand has an interest in visual culture
of the here and now but it is foremost the quirky and approachable
multidisciplinary approach of MU that made it a perfect place to
connect to. At the same time Eindhoven as a city has a long history
of innovation and research, where Phillips has its roots, and local
organisations are keen to work together. Together with MU and Baltan
Laboratories we ended up organizing an exhibition, an artist in
residence (together with NIMk in Amsterdam and Piksel in Bergen,
Norway), an extended educational programme and a symposium at one of
the largest art&technology festivals taking place in Eindhoven, STRP.
It's quite amazing that so many connections could be made in one city.
In a way it reflects the diverse character of software art. In the
end HardwareMedienKunstVerein brings these different perspectives
together. HMKV has a long-term international reputation for display
of new developments in both art and technology By choosing a thematic
approach whereby technical art is seen as a means not as an end. It
is their topical and conceptual discussion of our contemporary world
based increasingly on media and technological structures which is also
reflected in Funware.

MF: Bringing together pieces of work from different times implies some
kind of preservation or reconstitution of some works. I wonder, is
there some kind of fun to this process itself?

AD: Yes absolutely and in many different ways. It is the absurdism
of trying to find a working plug, cable or network configuration
just in order to see the authentic working. This of course relates
to the practice of conservation in art where 'the authentic' is
the most valued. And especially with software art it has become a
bigger challenge to get to such an authentic experience. Rebuilding
software is not only about assembling the objects and maybe slightly
restoring them, but also about reconstructing the code by doing. The
work by David Link is again a perfect example here. But there are of
course also other methods, which aim at representing the work through
documentation. Trying to reconstruct the context of the work and
doing the interviews reliving the experience can certainly be fun. It
brings up aspects that were long forgotten but which when recounted,
shed a totally new light on the work, also sometimes for the makers.
At times, one could argue that the documentation of a work might be
better than the actual work. For Funware we try all these different
methods, just to see what it brings; and in case when things don't
work anymore we asked the artists to think of revisioning their work
(as is the case with JODI's JET SET WILLY the making off). Making a
new version by building on the past is a way to accept loss and at
the same time an attempt to prolong the work. But it all can be very
serious so it is important to keep a sense of humour as a means to
prevent you from becoming too frantic. In the end we are presenting a
new work by Dave Griffiths, Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk: Naked
on Pluto - a game in Facebook, I'm already looking forward to seeing
that being preserved!

MF: One of the things that is the sheer variety of the formats
involved. Some projects entail custom hardware, of several different
sorts, that either 'quote' existing objects or invent new ones, others
use conventional computing platforms. Some work exists fleetingly on
networks of different kinds, one exists on paper only, others work
with cracked or manipulated games or use computers primarily aimed at
children. How do you see this diversity?

AD: To me this is the whole point of the show, to present the sheer
diversity of software art. It is not just the 'world of nerds', it's
all around you, much closer than you think, and it can be accessed in
many different ways and levels.

OG: It is interesting that at a point in time, there was a discussion
about the problems of presenting new media art in a gallery space,
as a lot of such presentation took the form of a computer sitting
on the desk. It was somewhat surprising to see now, how easily a
very wide range of methodologies and conceptual structures could
be gathered together. Probably, an easy answer is that with such a
largely retrospective show as Funware is, the body of great work
accumulated naturally exhibits a richness and diversity that only
proves how interesting those years and explorations were.


MF: Many mainstream accounts of computing propose that it becomes
increasingly calm, intuitive, fitting into the 'flow' of everyday life
and enhancing it. Others propose that it is not simply functionalist,
but becomes a kind of event in itself, full of lots of bijoux treats,
as for instance with some smartphones as mentioned already, animating
daily routines with pleasure-design and things to fill time. Such
figurations are perhaps most evident in HCI and user experience design
or other forms of human factors. The work in this show however tends
to step aside from these two poles in order to propose different kinds
of thoughtfulness and experience in relation to software, each piece
of work having its own characteristics of excitement, awkwardness,
time-requirements, involvement and so on. Some of them are exuberant,
but others, melancholy. You show us that, in places, software culture
is, by several means, inexplicably richer than that which it is
designed for. What might be the stakes in such explication?

OG: I would not like to end up the interview by a pessimistic rant
on the 'brave new world' that is speedily coming towards us, though
everyone holds their breathe here in Britain, waiting for the cuts,
new immigration rules, university tuition fees changes, and other
kinds of governmental announcements. Now, it becomes crystal clear
that a sheer possibility to play around, to do something useless that
may become brilliant, to be obscure and absurd is fundamental to the
production of culture we inhabit and the parts of it we admire, can
disappear. This is a question of education, imagination, environment,
ideology, time, idea of usefulness and of value, aesthetics and many
other spectra. Software culture is not different, in this sense, from
other domains. However, what is also possible is a new renaissance
through the very renewing of the 'oppressed', as hard times are often
very interesting And here, software is different, in terms of the
kinds of control possible and implemented, by the types of network
platforms or hardware popular and desired and also by the depth of its
appropriation by the pure ideological management system of society.
What can be done here now, remains an open question.

Unfortunately for you, the entire event was paid for by tax payers.

You can pose as 'artists' and 'hackers' but in reality you're domesticated
pets kept alive by the system you oppose.

And unfortunately, many of you have a v.unhealthy life style that
thankfully (for you) isn't shared by the tax payers who finance you
else the parasitical relationship would conclude.

Imagine that. 

Tell those 'artists' that unless they also become 'academic supervisors' like you
in the real world Rape carries consequences.

Better yet, since you're so cool write software that rapes not only websites but the entire world.

This way your students can practice for their future 'jobs'

Don't surrender. YOU can do anything ... so long as the tax payers finance your 'art'
your 'business'. your 'politics'. 

the PERPETUAL PROSTITUTION AND RAPE OF THE WORLD is permissible



> We
> do not want a culture in which students have to preemptively censor

Imagine that. 

A World Where Prostitution and Rape are Ubiquitous.


Not only that, but where the victims must Enjoy it and Show it
lest the Rapists / Pimps are traumatized .... the poor 'artists'


Because ...

Because ... the difference between you and the larger RAPISTS / PIMPS / PARASITES is scale.

You are a mirror of the degenerate thinking that goes in board rooms and congresses.

You are the VIRUS + the ILLNESS = SIMPLY.UNCONSCIOUS.RAPISTS + PIMPS


If the 'professors' are SIMPLY.UNCONSCIOUS hopefully the students will evolve beyond the nematode stage.
