<div>dear adriene</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>good to see you here.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Since your specflic is set in year 2030, i do feel the need
to</div>
<div>respond to this particular year and your vision or our vision
of</div>
<div>the future related to network vision in year 2030.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I am here speaking on behalf of the london based collective
TAKE2030 that i co-founded (with Ilze black and Alexei blinov)</div>
<div>http://www.take2030.net</div>
<div> "TAKE2030 operates in parallel net media scheme and
shifts social network mission into hypermedia playing fields.
"</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>since there has also been so much pping on the rich and rich not,
i would also</div>
<div>like to refer the year 2030 to Katzakhstan2030</div>
<div><font
color="#000000">http://www.akorda.kz/page.php?page_id=135&lang=2</font
></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Nursultan Nazarbayev, in his president's
speech (year 2000, total word count: 18543) to Kazakhstan people,
detailed dreams/desire/expectation for his country in developing,
taking up Taiwan, Korea as example of economic success.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">"I, for my part, am sure that by the
year of 2030 Kazakhstan would have become a Central-Asian Snow Leopard
and would serve a fine example to be followed by other developing
countries. Tigers are not found in Kazakhstan while the Show Leopard
inhabiting our mountains is but a stranger in the wold community.
Though a relation to the Tiger in the animal kingdom, Snow Leopard
bears some substantial distinctions therefrom. It will be virtually a
Kazakhstani Snow Leopard with inherent elitarianism, sense of
independence, intelligence, courage and nobleness, bravery and
cunning. It will never be the first to attack anyone, ever prone to
avoiding direct clashes."</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Situated in wireless London initiative (whether by greater desire
of the metropolitan administration or by Arts Council England),
TAKE2030 has</div>
<div>adopted a post-netcrash scenario with wireless bandwidth upheld
by freenetworkers. Parallel net scheme would involve building from the
ashes of the crashes, in sync with network DIY and opensource
practice. Our current prject</div>
<div>PORTA2030 further sets out toward a portable, responsible and
sustainable porta-net. In april 2006, we took up Broadway Market</div>
<div>(a 100m strip of commercial and residential zone in East London)
that is undergoing regeneration makeover as a site to dispatch our
porta-porters.</div>
<div>http://www.porta2030.net</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Here, i am more interested to consider the 'backbone' construct
for exercising</div>
<div>public engagement mobile project, the upper dimension of the
urbanscape, the spectrum of our air waves put into social network
application, and as performative spectacle! yes, here we have
it, the gadgets and the specs!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On the idea of future library, i also can not help to mention
Fahrenheit 451,</div>
<div>the dystopian future of banned book and its burning squads. I am
wondering</div>
<div>if a spectacle of 'multi' mobile media library could be the more
brighter</div>
<div>future for 2030??</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>refering to your vision on specflic.net</div>
<div>"<font color="#333333">A proliferation of digital recording
devices are leading us to a place where privacy will evaporate without
any parallel efforts from the State - a community armed with
compact, wirelessly-connected recording devices will record and police
itself far better than any government could have hoped to.</font>
"</div>
<div>(http://www.specflic.net/index_modules.html)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>do we help to build this sousveillance vision at the end?</div>
<div>as in the texas border patrol, send in your mobile images
if</div>
<div>you see an alien crossing??</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>for now</div>
<div>hope to connect...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>best</div>

<br>
I have been enjoying this list for awhile, but often too caught up in
other things to jump in on the discussions. But the list has opened up
a number of issues around which I am concerned and trying to work with
as an artist.<br>
<br>
My current project SPECFLIC, is a form I'm calling "speculative
distributed cinema" (also, starting to call it distracted cinema)
and is an attempt to experiment with many of the questions it seems
your workshop is posing. I'm attempting to create layers or zones of a
story experience using a combination of cinematic projections, live
performance, cell phone interaction, radio, and public architectures.
Each version is held in a new public architectural space & has a
new story that eminates from that encounter. The current version will
be launched August 9 at the San Jose Public Libraruy as part of ISEA06
and the Zero1 San Jose festival. Here is a link to a short
description</blockquote>

<br>
I'm looking forward to the discussions that occur on the list, and
will try & find time to contribute my own experiences thus far
(the 1.0 version occurred in Oct 2005) where appropriate.<br>
<br>
