[-empyre-] May on -empyre- : quiet / preview



dear -empyreans-

The moderators one and all need a breather, so we're taking a break for the month of May. See you in June 2006 for
"Liquid Narratives" moderated by Marcus Bastos (BR) and guests. In July, we'll take up another theme with Documenta 12, this time, "Bare Life".

as Marcos writes,

walter benjamin define narrativa como o testemunho de uma ausência, que se faz presente por meio de um relato. os equipamentos portáteis poderosos e a cultura de rede atual dão um novo estatuto a essa proximidade, por assim dizer, de segunda mão.

'narrativas líquidas' tem por objetivo apresentar e discutir trabalhos audiovisuais que, ao expandir as fronteiras das linguagens digitais, dialogam com essa prática que consiste, em grande parte, em uma arte de evitar explicações preconcebidas.

walter benjamin defines narrative as the testimony of an absence, that makes itself present by means of a report. the powerful portable equipments and the current networked culture both give a new statute to this, so to say, second hand proximity.

'liquid narratives' aims to present and discuss audiovisual projects that, by expanding the frontiers of digital language, dialogue with this exercise concerned, mainly, with the art of avoding preconceived explanations.
