[-empyre-] introducing Anne Helmond and Kazys Varnelis

[Gregory Ulmer]

Anna
thanks for agreeing to moderate this discussion.  Since you are also one 
of the authors of the first round of "chapters," perhaps you could 
comment as well from that point of view on the issues being raised in 
this conversation so far.  You offered several points of orientation 
within your survey of datamining (including arts appropriations and 
interventions relative to the information economy).   Two such points 
are 1) data undermining:  the suggestion that an arts perspective is 
subversive, offering resistance to surveillance and control; 2) cosmic 
world-making (Deleuze and Guattari): a philosophical perspective on 
becoming imperceptible.  Could you  elaborate on these reference points 
(or others):  why you recommend them, and what they suggests as points 
of entry into the complex information scene you describe?
thanks
Greg
