Public Domain will be remembered for the annual Destroy All Music
|
|
Festivals in Atlanta in the mid-to-late eighties. Since that time, as
|
|
noise has become "commercialized and set to a disco beat", Public
|
|
Domain has been migrating away from noise and into technology. They're
|
|
not an easy organization to box into categories, so I hate to say much
|
|
more about them. Email addresses are provided below -- write for more info.
|
|
|
|
PERFORATIONS usually includes a disk (Macintosh Hypercard, I think).
|
|
It's a real quality publication from Atlanta's most interesting
|
|
underground artists. It's nicely produced, as in it takes time
|
|
and attention, not as in commercial slime. I like it!
|
|
|
|
And congratulations to Public Domain on their new node pd.org.

WORKING PAPERS 5
|
|
|
|
This marks the fifth year that PUBLIC DOMAIN has provided an informal
|
|
forum for the presentation and discussion of ideas and arts for what has
|
|
been called the crises in representation (art), legitimation (politics),
|
|
and communication. PUBLIC DOMAIN as an organization is devoted in both
|
|
theory and practice to examinations of the relationships between art and
|
|
ideas, and more specifically, the role that technology plays in constituting
|
|
modern life and thought. To facilitate these explorations we conduct a
|
|
series of presentations called WORKING PAPERS several times a year, publish
|
|
a limited edition of the journal PERFORATIONS, and provide on-line computer
|
|
network services for PUBLIC DOMAIN members.
|
|
|
|
This Winter's series of WORKING PAPERS will be held at the Homage Coffee
|
|
House at 255 Trinity Ave. (near the Trinity gallery) in downtown Atlanta.
|
|
(Their phone number is 525-7546). Each session will begin at 7:30 p.m.
|
|
and last approximately one hour. There will be an opportunity for
|
|
discussion following each presentation. Admission is free and open to the
|
|
public. We are however, a small, non-profit organization with limited
|
|
funding, so we do accept and appreciate any and all contributions that you
|
|
might care to make.....

WHERE POETRY HAS BEEN:
|
|
THE SPACE OF LANGUAGE WRITING
|
|
|
|
Language poetry is artistic noise: it resists the dreams of pure
|
|
communication, placing before us the heterogenous, ruptured,
|
|
anti-subjective writing of the American tradition which extend
|
|
forward from the poetics of Gertrude Stein. This tangent within
|
|
contemporary North American poetry bridges gaps between theory
|
|
(postmodern, poststructuralist, feminist), performance art (Cage,
|
|
Mac Low, Antin), and the technological metadiscourses (Foucault,
|
|
Baudrillard, Haraway) which fill the air. It is aggressively and
|
|
humorously political: is sets the ear on edge. I will present a
|
|
montage of textual exemplars, and offer a provisional account of
|
|
this new writing's place in the postmodern scene.

The SURFPUNK Technical Journal is a dangerous multinational hacker zine
|

originating near BARRNET in the fashionable western arm of the northern

|
California matrix. Quantum Californians appear in one of two states,
|
|
spin surf or spin punk. Undetected, we are both, or might be neither.
