<nettime> Arts Agencies: bogus-aid for the 'developed world' |
Subject: Canada Council Club ref no 3215-06-0101 (fwd) After 35 years, I knew damn-well that you creepy, conspiring, incestuous, artworld-acolytes wouldn't fund my media project (even in this time of urgent-need), but returning my audiovisual support material with a snotty letter stating that the application was incomplete due to missing audiovisual support material--and so wouldn't even be adjudicated, is a new low. Do you actually get paid (with my tax-dollars) for this disservice?! /:b -- Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media pdf-ebooks -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters. Your (Art)world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe some cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad faith of it and as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole life being an act of bad faith, where everything is self-interest and nothing more, where every human interaction is driven by a silent, even subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point that a sea of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your professed agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to the conscience in order to assure it that it exists. http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/id.html http://bbrace.net/id.html Island 1.0 is Ambergris Caye, Belize Island 2.0 is Koh Si Chang, Thailand Island 3.0 is Lamu, Kenya Island 4.0 is Narikel Jingira, Bangladesh Global Islands Project: Island 1.0 -> http://bbrace.net/islands/island1/island1.html or http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/islands/island1/island1.html -- over 800 images and hour-long audiotrack -- 69mb -- (acrobat 6) Island 2.0 -> http://bbrace.net/islands/island2/island2.html or http://bbrace.laughingsquid.net/islands/island2/island2.html -- over 535 images and hour-long audiotrack -- 78mb -- (acrobat 6) /:b # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
