i think this is the good introduction to this email.


am an art historian. if you all realized there has been a great interest 
in the last couple of years in  the 'sound art' and in the sound and 
music itself.
for me the eternal q. is what is art? beside what is love, who is me, 
who is other. it is obviously i dont want to find the final answer 
because than i would have to stop searching for the answer. and this 
would: in my western mind, at this level, mean passivity.

my view:
so sound art, with historical connotations (because of the rigid 
combination of sound and art, and its long history in the previous 
century) for me means the xperiments with frequency, tonality..be 
whatever formal aspect..so it is more formalistic..as it also has 
historical connotations.

so now in 004 all the other things with the sound, music, tools, open 
source, rave parties as everyday protest etc online publishing and 
distribution.. the social aesthetic is beside formal aestehic..so here 
we go with ungrasping definitions..of what today a 'sound art' is.

anyhow at this moment i am telling to the list (although my voice maybe 
wont be read, because..it is still that voices are not heard..in this 
case this is not necessarily or complitely bad, because there is no evil 
present)

it is the exhibition called Area Collaborativa.
it explores (shows): collectivness, collaboration, dispersed authorship, 
  art as creativity, expertism, attitude and state of mind.

the map (exhibition rooms:1, 2, 3, 4, 5) 
http://www.galerija.skuc-drustvo.si/skuc2.html

so thats why in the room 1 (while entrance is 5) - which has huge 
windows, so people can see inside frm outside - i as a museum-gallery 
worker want to present projects of microsound mailing list. projects 
where, i believe authorship was in a way blurred, projects that were 
organised with new tools, made with this tools, projects that were or 
were not done only with institutional art in mind.

so the sound of microsound list (and the documentation of the projects, 
a webpage) will be heard (and seen).

but in the same room, full with the sound of microsound, selected linux 
screensavers will be projected (a totaly non-institutional art) ...and 
you will be able to see it from the outside.

so this is it. lets have fun.

this is what i would like area kolaborativa exhibition would be about.

for goodnite 4 me:
a friend she dj recently told me, i was also studiing art, but then i 
started to deal with music, because it is more direct.


p&l,
dunja



ps
i also think you should leave the list open. it is the nature of 
technology. tech should not be for control. but for connectivness, 
expressing, creating, communicating, sharing and fun.
the crime&punishment is totaly another story.
