Introduction The title of the work is from a 'poem' based on the accidental drowning of Ian Burn the conceptual artist and instigator, along with Mel Ramsden and Roger Cutforth, of the Art Language Journal (Roger Cutforth was a tutor of mine between 1969 and 1972). The 'poem' operat.es on other levels that deal with pret.ension, or shallow int.ellectual practice within west.em art, also the collision of order (as artifice, or lie) with wilderness, or chaos (as reality, or truth). There are sixteen exhibit.ed 'poems' and 'narratives', all about art, exhibit.ed in braille and mounted on the walls of the gallery, as well as digitally manipulated images and text, through a combination of graphics software. The 'poems' have become lyrics and the 'narratives' instrumental. The exhibition opening incorporates the launch of an Audio CD. Each work has been sound sampled through an Ensoniq Sampler and a number of digital programs including Steinberg Cubase, Digidesign ProTools and Sound Designer via a Macintosh comput.er. Throughout the exhibition the soundwork will be available as an audio CD relayed through speakers in a list.ening room at the rear of the gallery. The point is to render the work a camouflage of conventional code, i.e. 'picture', 'poem', 'lyric', 'art', 'song', 'melody', 'humour', 'drama' whilst sub'versive'ly dismantling all of those codes, in their commonly known presence, by means of the content (message). The audience will experience the mix of signals of the lyrics in one form or another as t.ext, or imagery or sound as well as in tactile form. The exhibit is work produced in a unique audio-visual form, fusing traditional with advanced practice across visual art, lit.erature, sound art, drama, typography, and other devices such as braille or digital manipulation, with the aim of disturbing conventions oflanguage and thought. It is not a quixotic objective of the show to grandiosely 'reinstate' poetry as an art form at this end of the twentieth century. Nonetheless, in a culture that commonly neglects or suppresses the full range of subjective dialogue 3 that commonly neglects or suppresses the full range of subjective dialogue by depressing the intellectual or cultural environment to a tame programming of'issues' (refer to "The Glass Bead Game" by Herman Hesse) this will be one opportunity to see if works function by infusing an amalgam of apparently popular or conventional form with 'obtuse', 'difficult', 'rare', or 'ephemeral' notions. Each 'verse' is intentionally drenched in meaning as well as elegantly crafted. A great deal of effort is spent on the 'finish' of each 'poem', washed over repeatedly until the best possible outcome is achieved. All of the work, apart from the audio CD, is saved onto Macintosh files, Adobe Photoshop 2.5.1 or Adobe Illustrator, and can be downloaded, individually or as an exhibition, and scaled from A4 to any appropriate format, complete with recommendations for mounting and display. Consequently, the exhibition is available as a package for publication as a book, CD ROM or digital transmission. Dave Cubby December 1994 This Master ofFine Art Research thesis is wholly dedicated to Rory Cubby who assisted me greatly in the production ofthe audio CD. We jointly wrote sections 3 and 4, presenting that work as a paper to the 'Multimedia and Design Conference' at the Key Centre of Design Computing, University of Sydney in September 1994. Rory also contributed generously to the development of ideas and my confidence throughout this project. He has a fine mind, patience and a great kindness that comes only with exceptional talent.

A swell beyond your dabbling creations, roo deep for you t.o sense, has been waiting t.o break and clear the coast. It is a sudden, serious instant before all of you will be taken in this rip, as I am by a child beckoning this man inoo the drowning conscience. In there and out here through thunder waters returned oo chaos surging beneath the horiwn of thought and worldly imagining. My search for shore is ended, a secret perspective sighted, the water is a huge lens directed at the good old land as I am filling up with brine. Marine riddles of the strange and familiar this unexpected bright from dark view, ironic that absolute confidence does flow from final terror.

    Virality Project Weekly Briefing #18 April 20, 2021 - April 27, 2021 This report was created by analysts from the Virality Project, a coalition of research entities focused on real-time detection, analysis, and response to COVID-19 anti-vaccine mis- and disinformation. The Virality Project aims to support information exchange between public health officials, government, and social media platforms through weekly briefings and real-time incident response. Public officials and health organizations interested in officially joining this collaboration can reach the partnership at [email protected]. In this briefing: Events This Week ● Vaccine “shedding” narrative about menstrual cycles creates confusion about COVID-19 vaccines’ impact on women’s health among anti-vaccine and wellness communities. ● Israeli study with small sample size finds correlation between Pfizer vaccine and shingles. Online users twist the findings to suggest a link between vaccines and herpes. ● CDC reports 5,800 “breakthrough” cases of people getting coronavirus after vaccination. Some accounts have seized on this data to suggest that vaccines are ineffective. ● An unfounded claim that a 12-year-old was hospitalized due to a vaccine trial spread among anti-vaccine groups resulting in safety concerns about vaccinating children. ● Anti-vaccine accounts attempt to hijack #RollUpYourSleeves after NBC TV Special to draw attention to vaccine misinformation.

  • Engagement with False Content Producers Plummeted on Twitter and Facebook
    Engagement with False Content Producers Plummeted on Twitter and Facebook Adrienne Goldstein Manipulative News Sites Accounted for a Record Share of Facebook Interactions Sites that gather and present information irresponsibly (according to the news-rating service NewsGuard) accounted for a record-high one-fifth of Facebook interactions with U.S.-based sitesi in the second quarter of 2021, while engagement with articles from outlets that repeatedly publish false content plummeted on Twitter and Facebook. This occurred amidst an overall decline in engagement with all types of sites. After all-time highs in engagement with both types of deceptive news outlets in 2020, sites that publish false content have seen their engagement drop at much higher rates than U.S.- based sites in general, likely as a result of account takedowns and changes in policies around COVID-19 misinformation and content moderation. The changes demonstrate that Facebook and Twitter have the tools to address disinformation. However, outlets that gather and present information irresponsibly without publishing false content present a special challenge to the platforms. These sites can help spread conspiracies theories about elections and vaccines, highlighting the need for what GMF Digital calls “democratic design” principles to promote transparency and civic information. • Amidst an overall decline in Facebook interactions with U.S.-based sites that began in the latter half of 2020, interactions with outlets that collect and present information irresponsibly dropped in the second quarter of 2021. They fell by slightly less than the drop in overall traffic (35 percent vs 38 percent) and by far less than a sample of 106 trustworthy sites with perfect NewsGuard ratings (56 percent) or sites that repeatedly publish false content (54 percent).

  • The Scandalous Fall of Feminism and the ``First Black President''
    Chapter 24 The Scandalous Fall of Feminism and the ``First Black President'' Melissa Deem Feminism is always on trial. The most recent indictments occurred during the popular coverage of the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. Ironically, this time feminism was called forth to defend itself against the charge of silence. One commentator argued that this latest indictment ``signifies the end of feminism as we know it.'' He continues, ``the once shrill voice of feminist outrage is suddenly, deafeningly still'' (Horowitz 1998). These comments represent a new trend within the popular discourses concerning feminism in the United States. This may be the first moment in history when feminists have been castigated for too little speech. The ``fall'' of Bill Clinton (which never came to completion but saturated the political public sphere for two long years) was accompanied by another antici- pated fall: the demise of feminism. Public discourse across the political spectrum heralded the ``death of feminism'' when commenting on the relative silence of feminists in regard to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. Feminism's ``silence'' has been found especially noteworthy when contrasted to the loud anti-Republican pedagogy concerning sex and power with which feminists trumped patriarchy during the earlier Clarence Thomas and Bob Packwood scandals. Feminism may be the most visibly culpable post-1960s political movement called into question by the discourses of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, but it is certainly not alone. Clinton has come to embody a set of complaints against feminism and post-1960s racial and class politics more generally. His embodi- ment of minoritarian politics has been striking.

  • GROUP a Roshni B Watching Naomi Wolf Interview Harvey Mansfield, on C-SPAN's Show After Words, Was Painful. Their Back And
    1 GROUP A Roshni B Watching Naomi Wolf interview Harvey Mansfield, on C-SPAN’s show After Words, was painful. Their back and forth battle was reminiscent of witnessing a bloody jousting match. The sound of the lance’s wood splitting matches that of Mansfield’s words when he describes what he believes the role of women in society should be. Mansfield describes the difference between masculinity and manliness as physical appearance versus a general attitude. He explains that men are right to expect their wives to be lying in wait with a martini for them after a long day, and for women to expect nothing in return. Wolf is quick to question why reciprocity should not be expected. Our current generation is full of powerful women that, not only work full-time, but also take care of the household and community. Mansfield argues that men do not feel needed anymore; the importance of their role in society has been reduced. It is not wrong to question, why men have not taken more initiative to have a greater significance in the household. Wolf is able to reveal that Mansfield is a contradiction of himself throughout the interview. His interpretation of a “manly” man is one that does not submit to women; however, he repeatedly submits to Wolf’s criticisms of the book. The strides women have made in the realm of equality are stacking-up. Mansfield may not approve, but society needs women to function properly. Men have allowed themselves to crumble from a Superman- like figure, to a couch-potato that chooses to live off unemployment.

Feminist Futures: Trauma, the Post-9/11 World and a Fourth Feminism? By E. Ann Kaplani Abstract This article will engage with the possibilities of feminist futures. That there is no monolithic feminism is a good, it at times uncomfortable, fact: positions, actions and knowledge – constantly being contested, questioned, and debated – mean that feminism is alive and well, and always changing in accord with larger social, historical and political changes. However, the ways in which social and political conditions on both local and global levels are impacting on feminism must be addressed. The post-9/11 world is one in which we need to re-think what feminisms have achieved and how the various groups positioned under the term “feminisms” can move forward.
