The Next Layer - Eleonore http://tnl-6.local/taxonomy/term/1198/0 en-US Some remarks on digital art, autonomy, and the labour of others (Eleonore, part III) http://tnl-6.local/node/1345 <p>This final piece in the Eleonore series sums up some more theoretic and political thoughts about the relationships between digital art, autonomy and the division of labour. It comes to the conclusion that the least digital artists can do is to use free software, strive for egalitarian types of working relationships and to name all their collaborators as co-creators of work, regardless of the usual social valuations of types of work and the institutional pressure they come under if their work joins the art circuit.</p> <p><a href="http://tnl-6.local/node/1345" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://tnl-6.local/node/1345#comments English Notes art digital arts Eleonore Free Software Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:16:47 +0000 Armin Medosch 1345 at http://tnl-6.local Eleonore, part 2: Mobile Desires http://tnl-6.local/node/1342 <p>In my last article, I described <a href="http://www.thenextlayer.org/node/1335">Eleonore</a> as a conceptual art work, a non-utopian 'social sculpture'. It carries a proposal for the role of artists in society, working out alternative routes for social-artistic-technological development. It does so without the universalistic-totalitarian notions inscribed into previous avant-garde projects. Yet still, it contains 'future' - therefore its' characterisation as non-utopian. It is real and realistic: small, cheap, livable and as far as possible, environmentally friendly. After spending one week here, I try to summarise my insights. </p> <p><a href="http://tnl-6.local/node/1342" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://tnl-6.local/node/1342#comments English Research Eleonore Sun, 15 Aug 2010 08:19:34 +0000 Armin Medosch 1342 at http://tnl-6.local Tractor Catamaran http://tnl-6.local/node/1340 <p>The engine of this tractor is driving the catamaran, made from cylindrical gas tanks.</p> <a href="/node/1340"><img src="http://tnl-6.local/files/images/traktor.thumbnail.JPG" alt="Tractor Catamaran" title="Tractor Catamaran" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75" /></a><div class="field field-type-text field-field-copyright"> <div class="field-label">Copyright:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> other copyleft </div> </div> </div> http://tnl-6.local/node/1340#comments Research systems-research catamaran Eleonore tracor Sun, 15 Aug 2010 08:11:59 +0000 Armin Medosch 1340 at http://tnl-6.local Plants http://tnl-6.local/node/1339 <p>Potted plants on Eleonore.</p> <a href="/node/1339"><img src="http://tnl-6.local/files/images/plants.thumbnail.JPG" alt="Plants" title="Plants" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75" /></a><div class="field field-type-text field-field-copyright"> <div class="field-label">Copyright:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> other copyleft </div> </div> </div> http://tnl-6.local/node/1339#comments Research systems-research Eleonore plants Sun, 15 Aug 2010 08:09:59 +0000 Armin Medosch 1339 at http://tnl-6.local Solar Router http://tnl-6.local/node/1338 <p>Inside of the solar router, WLAN community network node run by solar power and linux board.

Already before leaving I had the first insight. I was packing and couldn't find any suitable string to tie together my Yoga map. So I took a Cat 5 ethernet cable because I thought I might need that as well. And then I thought what connects Linux with Yoga? That both can show up, sometimes painfully, the limitations of the human being, especially in my case.</p> <p><a href="http://tnl-6.local/node/1335" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://tnl-6.local/node/1335#comments English Research Eleonore Water Waves Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:51:01 +0000 Armin Medosch 1335 at http://tnl-6.local Water and Areals http://tnl-6.local/node/1334 <p>Water tank, chimney and areals of Eleonore, am Winterhafen, Linz.</p> <a href="/node/1334"><img src="http://tnl-6.local/files/images/water_tank.thumbnail.JPG" alt="Water and Areals" title="Water and Areals" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75" /></a> http://tnl-6.local/node/1334#comments systems-research Water areals Eleonore Waves Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:05:53 +0000 Armin Medosch 1334 at http://tnl-6.local Franz Xaver http://tnl-6.local/node/1333 <p>Franz Xaver on board of measurement boat Eleonore</p> <a href="/node/1333"><img src="http://tnl-6.local/files/images/xav.thumbnail.JPG" alt="Franz Xaver" title="Franz Xaver" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75" /></a><div class="field field-type-text field-field-copyright"> <div class="field-label">Copyright:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> no copyright </div> </div> </div> http://tnl-6.local/node/1333#comments systems-research Waves Eleonore measurements Water Tue, 10 Aug 2010 05:54:12 +0000 Armin Medosch 1333 at http://tnl-6.local
