Subject: need publisher, help, please reply backchannel
Hi - I'm writing a generic letter, apologies; I want to find a publisher for my
theoretical work, and everything continues to fall through. At one point
Minnesota was going to work with us - us being Sandy Baldwin, who created a
framework for my texts - and Sandy wasn't able to continue on the project (he's
fully supportive; it was a question of time) - Minnesota withdrew. If you have
any idea or better yet, the possibility of publica- tion, please let me know. I
have a text out with Fort-Da but there's been no money for an ISBN number, so
that's unadvertised; WVU might do something in the future with my texts on
writing, if a series gets going, but that's speculative. The texts I've been
writing have been on two main themes, and have been collected as such - one on
the phenomenology of the analog and digital and their intertwining; and one on
the phenomenology of the real/virtual and their intertwining. The latter uses
Second Life as a model; the former is more purely theoretical. Neither need
illustration.
I feel ridiculous sending out a public letter like this, but I'm at wit's end -
my writing might not be worth collecting for that matter, and I have no
academic affiliation, so it's difficult to get anyone interested. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Please write me backchannel or ignore this, and
thanks for reading. (I know I write overmuch, but the mss have always been
edited. Salt brought out a book of literary writing in 2004, and that was the
last of it.)

Julu Twine: here, yes there
Julu Twine: here, yes, there's something to be said, sir
Julu Twine: I am speaking to you, sir, it is the 13th of the month,
would I be Julu Twine
Julu Twine: think of it as a learning, sir, one of many. I would if
I were you
Julu Twine: here is the learning
Julu Twine: to reach me, you must touch me

[11:07] Flight Band: All Go
[11:51] sensor: noone around.
[12:10] There is no suitable surface to sit on, try another spot.
[12:21] Alan Dojoji: There are two different land parcels here - each has
its own weather
[12:21] Alan Dojoji: so you get two different particle flows, storm fkiws
[12:21] Alan Dojoji: storm flows
[12:22] Alan Dojoji: The texture at the very end is different with
different physics
[12:22] Alan Dojoji: it's at the end of a stationary platform
[12:22] Alan Dojoji: These squares revolve much faster than any raster so
they appear irregular
[12:23] Alan Dojoji: different monitors will create different
synchronizations
[12:23] Alan Dojoji: meanwhile the weather is away from the campus/gallery
[12:23] Alan Dojoji: I hope
[12:23] OCADland Minotaur: They are rezzing full blown for me
[12:23] >>> OCADland: Ellos son rezzing plena soplado para mí
[12:23] OCADland Minotaur: no lag
[12:23] >>> OCADland: sin retraso
[12:23] Alan Dojoji: They rezz full blown - but their rotational sync is
different
[12:23] Alan Dojoji: They're even full-blown on my slow machine
[12:23] Alan Dojoji: You should to be able to walk out on it
[12:24] Alan Dojoji: The spheres generate these things - they're miniature
reductions of the 40x40x40m spheres in the other show
[12:24] Alan Dojoji: the blue textures were made here
[12:25] Alan Dojoji: You can actually walk out on the rotation elements.
[12:26] Alan Dojoji: The weather stuff fascinates me - from above you can
see 'waves' form just like in the atmosphere
[12:26] Alan Dojoji: but the split remains - it's a node - on the boundary
[12:27] OCADland Minotaur: The object is in constant reproduction and
prpaganda mode
[12:27] >>> OCADland: El objeto está en el modo de reproducción y prpaganda
[12:27] OCADland Minotaur: but the scroll is one ended - meaning The End Of
Times?
[12:27] >>> OCADland: pero el desplazamiento es un terminado - El sentido
final de los tiempos?
[12:27] Alan Dojoji: yes and it's "about" sexuality, reproduction,
dissemination
[12:28] OCADland Minotaur: Why is the Torah at the last chapter?
[12:28] >>> OCADland: ¿Por qué la Torá en el último capítulo?
[12:28] Alan Dojoji: the end image are of breasts being held/squeezed
slightly - power or sex but not the Torah, anti-Torah at best
[12:28] Alan Dojoji: it's almost phallic, bends different and remains more
coherent than the other particle disseminations
[12:28] Alan Dojoji: the spheres glow slightly as well, a kind of lighting
an impossible path
[12:29] OCADland Minotaur: The background of the particles looks like a
rolled scroll
[12:29] >>> OCADland: El fondo de las partículas se parece a un laminado de
desplazamiento
[12:29] OCADland Minotaur: at the end
[12:29] >>> OCADland: al final
[12:30] Alan Dojoji: maybe a form of writing
[12:32] Alan Dojoji: Should I cut the end off? (castration complex heh)
[12:32] OCADland Minotaur: it is ok for now
[12:35] Alan Dojoji: I like the idea here that the whole area up here is
empty at least at the moment - and then there's a lever (reminds me of Carl
Andre GASP) going out where everything occurs
[12:35] OCADland Minotaur: but in the root prim is fine
[12:35] >>> OCADland: pero en la raíz prim está bien
[12:37] Alan Dojoji: I love this surface by the way
[12:37] OCADland Minotaur: Canada
[12:37] >>> OCADland: Canadá
[12:38] OCADland Minotaur: Alan Dojoji (Alan Sondheim master net artist)
will be working on new works above the Studios and has donated a new
sculpture that is now installed on the Hybrid Conference SIM.
Alan's work on Odyssey will be taken down soon and he is working on a new
work that will be displayed in the Hybrid Lab Gallery in the near future.
You will find a lot of info on him
and his work via Google search and constantly changing work at
www.alansondheim.org
[12:38] >>> OCADland: Alan Dojoji (Alan Sondheim maestro artista neto) se
trabaja en nuevas obras por encima de los estudios y ha donado una nueva
escultura que ya está instalado en la Conferencia Híbrido SIM. \n\n Alan en
la labor de la Odisea se tomará en breve y que está trabajando en un nuevo
trabajo que se mostrará en la Galería Laboratorio híbridos en un futuro
próximo. Va a encontrar mucha información sobre él \n y su obra a través de
búsqueda de Google y en constante evolución en el trabajo

[12:38] Alan Dojoji: Maybe I could use part of ourconversation as a
description...

[12:56] Alan Dojoji: Are these at all useful?
[since then additional objects at OCAD and objects imported from OCAD into
Odyssey - both sites feed each other - OCAD a new direction for me - however]
