Barbarian culture







Barbarian culture

Barbarian culture 09/20/2004 10:50 AM

I'm going to NYC today for a meeting sponsored by the World Economic Forum tomorrow. I don't actually understand what the meeting is about or for, but the attendees seem to be about 35 people from the entertainment industry and a few miscellaneous others. The title of the event is "Barbarians at the Gate." Here's a draft of what I plan on saying during my 7 minute slot on the first panel of the morning. Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I'm feeling quite insecure about this: I'm a capitalist of sorts and a writer of sorts,...

For nearly a quarter of a century Thor the Barbarian waged a lonely crusade against tyrannical bureaucracies and disempowering systems. Undaunted, he faced the monstrous social evils of our day head on, as an unsung organizational change agent... as a professional inside New York's vast mental health network. Real interview here (about a minute in) - scroll down to the Thor - LIVE link.

The Fight Between Sharing Culture And

The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture
06/22/2005 02:17 AM
It seems that museums are finally starting to realize that the digital age represents a real opportunity for them to reach many new people by digitizing their offerings and sharing the culture they represent across a much wider audience than a physical museum allows. It seems that many museums are having trouble figuring out how to digitize their collections, and would welcome help in doing so. However, another story points out how that can cause problems when the people involved get stuck on intellectual property issues. Apparently some people who created 3D digital versions of Michelangelo's David are freaking out that if they share the digitization without some form of copy protection people might (gasp!) share it without permission. Wait a second... isn't that what they should want? That would allow them to share the cultural wonder with many, many more people, and allow them to experience it in ways never possible before. That's a good thing, not something to be worried about. However, in an age where people seem to think that every idea, concept, software or piece of data needs to be "owned" and locked up, apparently it's the natural response -- and that's unfortunate for every culture.

Culture in a Perl


Culture in a Perl 08/11/2002 12:20 PM
Before I got completely caught up in the Perl culture, I was happy to do my own thing and not care what people thought of me. It was an enjoyable time. I could do what I wanted and say what I wanted. But as I got more and more involved, I realised that I was doing more things just to get people's attentions and say "Look at Simon! Isn't he doing clever stuff?". I felt less able to do things just for fun, or just for me, and I felt completely unable to express any sort of dissatisfaction with the way things were going in the Perl world. That would make me an outcast, and I didn't want to be an outcast. Got to fall into line. Don't criticise the popular people, or you'll be unpopular.

"tri" Simon, grow up - most big organisations or companies are like that.

I helped put together the new Creative Commons CD featuring all sorts of great licensed music, and it's all available for download.

Now that the pool of CC-licensed music has grown, we had a great deal of choices and as a result there are all sorts of songs in the mix. I've been listening to these songs for months and it's hard to pick favorites, they've all got some strengths. Don't miss the bonus remixes too, the creativity there was amazing.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8730-2003Nov23.html

A new study published in the journal Science looked at footnotes from scientific articles in three major journals (the New England Journal of Medicine, Science, and Nature) at 3 months, 15 months and 27 months after publication, and found that the prevalence of inactive Internet references grew during those intervals from 3.8% to 10% to 13%. In another recent study, one-fifth of the Internet addresses used in a Web-based high school science curriculum disappeared over 12 months, and a third study found that 40% to 50% of the URLs referenced in articles in two computing journals were inaccessible within four years. Brewster Kahle, widely admired for his creation of the Internet Archive project, says: "It's a huge problem. The average lifespan of a Web page today is 100 days. This is no way to run a culture."

David Pescovitz: BB friend Alessandro Ludovico of Neural.it magazine points us to "I love you (rev.eng): The Aesthetics of Computer Viruses," an exhibit he's involved with that prem iered in Germany and is now on view at Brown University in the US:
Iloveyou2 "I love you [rev.eng]" is divided into four investigative areas - political, cultural, technical and historical - and focuses on the controversial positions of security experts and hackers, of net artists and programmers, of literature experts and code poets...

What can visitors to the "I love you [rev.eng]" exhibition expect?

- Force computers to crash with "Sasser" or "Suicide"
- Experience a global virus outbreak in real time via a 3D world
- View security concepts and methods for preventing global network attacks
- Witness computer viruses as works of art like "biennale.py" and "The Lovers"
- See films by hackers on their subculture
- Learn about programming languages as the material for contemporary poetry
- Juxtapose experimental literature and code poetry
