Topic 397 The Art DEADLINES List
peg:visionary cyberculture zone 4:02 AM Jul 30, 1994
From: <rgardner@char on.MIT.EDU>
"On the Internet nobody knows
if you're a Turing Machine."
Your name has been added to The Art DEADLINES List.
If you haven't received or seen your first edition of The Art
DEADLINES List, and can't WAIT till the 1st or 15th, then send me
the message: SEND DEADLINES and you will get the latest version.
R Gardner, editor of the Arts & Cultural Events List (Boston area) and
The Arts DEADLINE List, announces:
Mail Art Show August 6 & 7, 1994 1pm->8pm
Au Bon Pain Harvard Square Cambridge MA
The Artists: YOU The Work: postcards of any legal size or material, to
be placed on view at the above time and place. Send as many postcards
as you want, handmade or otherwise, preferably from foreign countries
with all those nice stamps (although works with US postage will be
accepted), containing text, drawings, paintings, scribbles, photos,
or... how about an animation made up of 10 or more postcards, sending
me one a day? Be sure to ID and number them! You may send postcards
anonymously or with your email or snailmail address. Here is a chance
for the artist in you to show your stuff. Send those postcards to:
R Gardner, Box 381067, Cambridge MA 02238, USA
Permission is granted to distribute this idea to every artist, known
and dying-to-do-something, any age, anywhere!
Here's a list of my current Internet projects. You can get some of
this stuff once by asking. You can get on a mailing list for
updates, additions, future stuff, etc, by asking. That's two
things. One is just asking for some stuff. Two is asking to get on
one of my mailing lists for future stuff. Ok, get ready! Here's
information about some "stuff":
1) art stuff: For instance, the Arts & Cultural Events List. I send
this out twice a month to the AACEL mailing list. It is a list of
free art events, mostly in the Boston area. You can get it once by
asking, and regularly by asking to get on my mailing list for it.
There's more art stuff, but you have to ask. Send the message:
SUBSCRIBE AACEL
2) PC software/databases. I compile databases and wrap them in
software. SEND DB-INFO will get you more information.
3) The Friedrichshof Chronicles. This is a sort of net.literature
project of mine. It is some writing done while living on an artists
commune some years ago. Contains "adult" material. You have to very
explicitly ask for a sample of this. Send the message: SEND FHC-INTRO
to get the introduction. Send the message: SUBSCRIBE FHC to get on
the mailing list for future editions.
4) The Cambridge Chronicles. Like a diary. Like The Friedrichshof
Chronicles, but written here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, location
of two of the world's most opinionated zip codes. You gotta ask.
Introduction: SEND TCC-INTRO then, to subscribe to future editions:
SUBSCRIBE TCC
5) net stuff. I find net related stuff on the Internet and save it.
Do you know about Gilder, superdistribution, etc? No? Need I say
more? Try this: SEND NET-SAMPLE or SUBSCRIBE NET-STUFF
6) essays. I write essays from time to time. No telling what the
next one will be about. Ask to get on my essay mailing list and you
will get a copy of each one as it comes off the assembly line in my
brain. I'll bet you know exactly what to say here! If not, try this:
SEND ESSAY-SAMPLE or SUBSCRIBE ESSAYS
7) Personal Computing. A directory of 13,000+ computing industry
companies, user groups, publications, etc. Three sections with
information organized geographically, by name, and by keyword.
Available in a printed format, PC database, or PC or MAC text files on
a floppy. SEND PC-SAMPLE or SEND PC-INFO
8) Alternative America. A directory of 12,000+ progressive
organizations. The information is organizaed geographically, by name
and by type of organization. The list is available in a printed
format, floppy disk for PC or MAC and software/database version for
the PC. SEND AA-SAMPLE (about 50K) or SEND AA-INFO
9) Portraits. Verbal pictures of people you can't see. pictures of
people you will never see. make one of me (what you think i look
like) and send it to me: rgardner@charon.mit.edu Portraits "drawn"
to-date are available via: SEND PORTRAITS You can get some information
about me via the finger command, but no fair peeking till you've
"drawn" your first portrait!
10) The Everything! database. Everything? You decide. A real
hodge-podge of stuff seen by me on the net, in newspapers and
magazines, and then saved in this database. You saw it, meant to cut
it out and save it--but forgot, lost that page, etc. But not me! And
now, all together, at last, in one place, in order to relieve your
anxiety about ever finding it again! A sample is available via the
usual: SEND EDB-SAMPLE or SUBSCRIBE EDB to subscribe.
11) "no name Guide to the Internet & a Personal History of
Computing (with The Great American Machine)" is my book about the
Internet. SEND NNG-INDEX will get you started.
12) "Thinking The Future", a course for those who are just beginning
to use computers, and for those who want to go beyond word processing,
spreadsheets, and databases. Preliminary outline is available on
request: SEND TTF
13) A film idea. If you have read a description of my film idea, then
you have read the script: SEND FILM-IDEA This is your big chance to
be in the movies!
14) US First, 1994 Competition, January & February. Teams consisting
of a highschool and local company/industry are given the assignment to
build a device to accomplish a goal. Details of my participation with
Somerville High School and NyNex are available on request. ASCII text
of about 100K+. Some digitized pictures are available for display on
an IBM PC or compatible: SEND USF
15) The Art DEADLINES List! A list of art & related contests,
competitions, challenges, opportunities, etc. The list is
international in scope. Some events take place over the Internet.
Send me email with the words SUBSCRIBE DEADLINES, or any reasonable
variant.
16) Mailing lists. Mail Preference Service (an organization that can
get your snailmail address removed from junk mail lists), email lists,
and how to get or, or on. Or you want lists. How about 450 bicycle
and transportation activists, 2100 food coops, 475 vegetarian
restaurants, 350 educational travel opportunities, 275 volunteer
opportunities, and more: SEND ML-INFO to learn more.
17) You can support the editor of the AACEL, DEADLINES, and continuing
improvements to these services, by making contributions to R
Gardner,Box 381067,Cambridge MA 02238. Or, send an email message of
the form: SEND ART-LIST for a list of the art (paintings,
photographs, sculpture, writing, "books", screen savers, etc) works by
the editor.
*** NOTE! ***: you may send more than one request in one email
message. Send all your requests in one message... please! And you
can put your request(s) in the Subject field or body of the message.
There is a small favor you can do for me: send a brief message saying
where you saw/heard about The Art DEADLINES List. Thanks.
