[spectre] [3 8.9] Spectre: she's a model and she's looking good

[Lachlan Brown]

  I thought I'd check in with the hateful Spectre List
as the Netzis of #Nettime# are busy supplying ample 
findings regarding the governmentality of internet lists 
for my research into the emergence of Internet in culture. Ways of not addressing important and outstanding questions 
concerning net culture and webs of interest and intrigue.
I especially like the way subaltern academics are fronting
for the lack of responsibility of their professors. Check 
it out. 

  I was told that everyone on SPECTRE hated each other
and wondered whether this was the outcome of quite normal
professional jealousies or a sort of self-loathing for
and your complete and utter failure as curators and 
artists (though I'd hate to stretch the definition of 
artist to include everyone here, lol) to rise to the 
challenge of new global media and communications and
provide a critical and creative language that might 
represent the broad groundswell of use of Internet
(10% world population) rather than the rather petty
interests of one or two complete and utter plonkers 
(Manovitch and Cubitt come to mind as usual).

I'd welcome some opinion as to why 'not.art' failed
and some blame placed at the feet of one or two not.artists
or what we used to call 'pets' of a very few over-salaried 'curators'.

What a public service that would be.

Lachlan
