Re: introduction to idiomorphic projects

Hi Brian.

I do not know about the Mute project, but will look forward to seeing
it. Two, among others, who are addressing overlapping histories are Jon
Cates, through the critical artware website

http://www.criticalartware.net/

and Chris Hill, who has an extensive essay "Attention! Production!
Audience! Performing Video in its First Decade, 1968-1980" online at

http://www.nomadnet.org/massage1/video/

, has published a recent essay, in Millenium Film Journal 39 (not online),
contextualizing software in relation to a slice of that history,
"(Re)performing the Archive: Barbara Lattanzi and Hollis Frampton in
Dialogue".

...name-dropping and information both.

sincerely,

Barbara Lattanzi

It's extremely interesting all that. I suppose you know Matthew Fuller? If
not, he would be a person to freely cooperate with, I think he has as
sharp a sensibility as yourself to the limitations of the
one-size-fits-all software program.

Not enough detailed work has been done on the relation between the
cybernetic theory of the early seventies, the experimental art of that
time, and the ways that such history has come forth into practice with the
far wider and more diffuse development of the net and software cultures
from the mid-nineties onward. Again for, not so much name dropping as
information, I can add that the Mute people are apparently working on a
book, White Cube Blue Sky, that looks to establish that geneaology...

best, Brian Holmes
