Short report from Get Published and Miscellaneous

Submitted by Armin Medosch on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 09:11

Hello Uncommonists, the GET PUBLISHED conference went well on tuesday. I was pleased to be seated next to a pair of employees from Taylor Francis, one of the biggest publishers of academic journals in the world. At the far end was a woman from Cambridge University Press, in between Tony White, who described himself as the "token author" and Anthony Iles from Mute magazine. What made me happy was that I could say that "academic research funded with public money should be in the public domain" (thereby implying not behind the walls of gatekeepers to knowledge such as taylor francis".

Collaborative Panel Application

Submitted by Lindsay on Fri, 04/24/2009 - 18:01

Hello Both

Although I do not feel that my work fits in in a day to day note-taking way here on TNL (the reader numbers on specific posts are testament to this), and thus (for this and other reasons) have withdrawn from major participation on TNL, I was intrigued Doll by your suggestion at making an application to this conference for a combined proposal/panel.

Disorderly Conduct: some initial reflections on file-sharing

Submitted by doll_yoko on Fri, 04/24/2009 - 05:28

The phenomenon of "peer to peer", or "P2P" file-sharing over the internet is a transglobal expression of techno-social relations. We could say the same about other popular domesticised forms of internet usage, such as email, searches, blogging and photo sharing. However, P2P is different, like the 'special' child who doesn't really fit in with the rest of the family.

Handshakes amongst strangers: P2P and the production of disorder within informational capitalism

This is an attached slide-show (with notes)* from my presentation at The Second IT & Disorder Workshop held at the University of Technology, Sydney, on 26 March 2009. I need to work this up into a paper for publication in a uni e-journal very very soon! But I seem to be more devoted to d/l'ing endless stuff 'for research' from my favourite sites.... Anyway this presentation went well, and I felt i had redeemed myself after 2 really embarrassing presentations late last year.

The messy Hydra: developments in transglobal Peer-to-Peer culture

Submitted by doll_yoko on Mon, 04/20/2009 - 02:40

Once a minor practice in places of privilege in the global North, internet-enabled file-sharing via peer-to-peer (P2P) systems has evolved into a vast, transglobal activity. Engaging millions of participants, P2P is decentralised, deeply networked, grass roots-driven, polycultural phenomenon growing exponentially. It appears uncontainable, as each wave of technological, legal and commercial measures designed to halt or divert it fail. Moreover, pressure exerted 'from above' by governments and multinational industry alliances becomes a productive force within geographically dispersed, globalised P2P networks and communities. Technical and social innovations are generated 'from below' in order to protect and expand “cultures of sharing,” or “piracy.” Paradoxically, these innovations become mainstreamed as they force corporations to adopt new business models in response to 'market' desires.

Art and Research

Art and Research is an online journal for ideas, contexts and methods. It provides a resource of downloadable finished papers, interviews and conference notes that are considered important and current to the discourse that surrounds artistic research. The journal is international and peer-reviewed with an editorial board, one of the main editors being Ross Birrell an artist researcher and staff member at Glasgow School of Art. As well as being an interesting artist, Ross is also an interesting writer and his editorial paper Jacques Ranciere and The (Re) Distribution of the Sensible provides ‘Five Lessons in Artistic Research’ that condenses and links ideas such Rancier’s notion of the ‘distribution of territories’, a commentary on the value of certain disciplines over others, to Mika Hannula (and others) notion of the ‘democracy of experience’ which is ‘the precondition of a non-hierarchical research environment’.
