Alan Turing petition – deadline 20 January 2010

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/turing/

Alan Turing was the greatest computer scientist ever born in Britain. He laid the foundations of computing, helped break the Nazi Enigma code and told us how to tell whether a machine could think.

He was also gay. He was prosecuted for being gay, chemically castrated as a ‘cure’, and took his own life, aged 41.

The British Government should apologize to Alan Turing for his treatment and recognize that his work created much of the world we live in and saved us from Nazi Germany. And an apology would recognize the tragic consequences of prejudice that ended this man’s life and career.

I love this work initiated by Darren Solomon and completed with a range of musical collaborators. Whatever you call it – net art? generative music? collaborative and participatory audiovisual mixing? – it’s a beautifully simple concept, created well. The automatic ‘buddha machine’ version is also worth checking out, not least for the well written (and supplied) automating code – http://www.tikirobot.net/BbBuddha/.

Review of FutureSonic:Environment2.0 2009 by Ruth Catlow and Olga Panades

This review of the 2009 FutureSonic festival by Ruth Catlow and Olga Panades looks at artists’ and technologists’ explorations, of participation and agency in a networked society in the context of environmental crisis. It also reflects on the partial adoption of an ecological approach in a celebration of the new techno-green-enterprise soon to become FutureEverything.

JavaMuseum is one of the relevant platforms for Internet based art on the net.

In 2006, JavaMuseum launched - JIP - JavaMuseum Interview Project containing meanwhile more than 80 interviews with expersts and artists in the fields of digital and electronic art.

On occasion of its 10th anniversary, JavaMuseum is planning to launch in autumn 2010 a netart show, entitled: Celebrate! in order to celebrate netart as an exciting, but anyway widely underestimated art genre, yet.

This represents the best reason for inviting artists active on the fields of new, digital and electronic media to submit their latest or their older netart art projects which may originate from the years 2000-2010.
