FCI: Beyond an Appetizing Presentation
Hello, and welcome to my first post on Chef2Chef! I'm currently in Level 4 of the Classic Culinary Arts Program at the French Culinary Institute, and only two months from receiving my graduation toque. For more about me and my culinary background, please check out my bio.
If you're one of the readers of this blog other than my mother (who may be the only reader), you're probably considering the FCI. In an attempt to be helpful, I want to write about a serious question I had when applying to the school. Most of the research I did about the program was done online from my office in the Virgin Islands. It was a painful process, but only because fire ants invaded my keyboard to find warmth in the AC. The FCI's website was actually a pleasure – clear information, easy to navigate, and fun animation. The only sticker was, it was a bit too good. I wondered, does the FCI live up to its own hype?
For those of you that have visited the FCI's web page, you know that the school can market itself. For one, it conveys star allure. A mini Marcus Samuelsson, Dan Barber or Donatella Arpaia pops up on the home page and begins praising the school. You figure they must be right, as images of smiling students in their very white whites are abundant on the site. And then there is the claim that you emerge "fully-trained" in 6-9 months. I felt the same way I did about the AbTronic ("tones without any effort on your part!"). I wanted it to be true, but was skeptical of anything that good.
As it turns out, the FCI isn't the AbTronic of culinary schools. I knew that the school was even better than its web image after my first visit, and certainly after my first class. I have yet to see Marcus Samuelsson, but the school's own culinary stars like Deans Jacques Pepin and Alain Sailhac are frequently in the class kitchens mingling with students (not to mention all of the great chefs featured in demonstrations). The students are a little scrubbier after 6-hour classes than those on the site, but the majority of them are genuinely happy to be here. And most importantly, the assertion that graduates are kitchen-ready by the end of the program is accurate. Of course, it depends upon the student, his abilities in the kitchen and commitment to learn. But between the high quality of the chef instructors, the thorough curriculum and the school's amazing connections, one is set up for an exciting culinary future.
As for the AbTronic, I'm still waiting for a refund….

Southern Gal
So it turns out this hillbilly had been away from the country for a wee bit too long.
As the office closed and we all headed away there were plans everywhere, busy as a bee some would say.
So the summer holidays (if you can call them that with all the rain) was full of multiple activities: a summer romance (cause I'm such a stunner in that department after all), heading to Te Anau for new years and taking an interest in hedgehogs.
In order it was an odd combination.
Christmas was Christmas.
With my family there was always the cousin that got a little tipsy and thought he was bulletproof.
Usually happens in that order too.
The rain put a bit of a damper on the occasion so we were all at the house up at Beaumont.
It was a celebration also, as I found out another one of my cousins is pregnant.
This will add to her schedule as she began breeding her own horses during the past couple of years.
Yes, I know that does not relate to the ''summer romance'' but it is far easier to talk about my lovely, increasing still, crazy family and as for the romance... we shall not speak of that very often as i wouldn't want to embarrass myself or anyone else for that matter.
As for New Year's Eve, I could not deal with the large amount of people that filled the Moose in Te Anau.
The Te Anau Rodeo was fantastic and it was good to see a bunch of mates that I had made during the years taking an interest in the sport.
One bull rider commented it was just as well they had meet me before I became a journalist because now I was far too girly.
Yeah right.
Then there was the hedgehog obsession.
This came from when we were up at Blackmount at my summer romance's parents place and a hedgehog walked past the window.
A lot had gone on last year that I felt like I had forgotten to take in the little things.
So that was my new year's resolution, to again notice the little things in life.
Those were the three significant parts of my holiday and then came the ''shame'' moment of the new year.
This is when I discovered I had been away from the country too long.
Being told I was walking to the top of a massive hill for a hunting trip, I thought it was a joke.
Nek minnit I was literally crawling up this hill because I hadn't been on ''Shanks Pony'' (walking) for some time.
It's a reminder to myself to get back to the country as much as possible.

There were no film clips from Judy's films, only colorized numbers from her 1960s television show. The presenters need a bit more practice.

13th BPI Commencement
On June 2, 2015, BPI celebrated its 13th Commencement at Taconic Correctional Facility for women in Bedford Hills, NY. The milestone ceremony was the first at that facility and the second for BPI's female students. BPI awarded associate in arts degrees to nine students, with an additional four men in absentia. This video celebrates the graduates and offers an interview with a BPI alumna who shares her views on the importance of obtaining a college education while incarcerated.
10th Anniversary Film
A milestone was marked in 2011 as the Bard Prison Initiative celebrated its 10th year of providing meaningful higher education and opportunity to incarcerated men and women. To document a decade of student and alumni achievements in New York and through the national Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, BPI produced a twelve-minute film, made by filmmaker Frank duPont.

Oak Grove photos for Sarah Smith
The stones are very worn as you know. I think I have photographed proof that Sarah is recorded on the left side of the spire stone that contains the clearer engraving for Peter. I would say the faint marker there with MOTHER would also be hers. Between the spire and MOTHER is the stone for infant son who died Sep 12, 1848.

Vatican Falls Short Of Jewish Hopes Catholic Church Voices Regret But Fails To Accept Any Holocaust Blame, Say Critics
The Vatican expressed remorse Monday for the failure of some Christians to defend Jews against Nazi annihilation but denied that centuries of anti-Semitism within the Roman Catholic Church contributed to the Holocaust.
The long-awaited document, which was criticized immediately by Jewish leaders, heaped praise on the wartime pope, Pius XII, who long has been accused by Jews of failing to speak out forcefully enough against Nazi atrocities.
"We deeply regret the errors and failures of those sons and daughters of the church," said the statement, "We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah," which Pope John Paul II has promised for a decade.
The Vatican hoped the document would go a long way toward easing mistrust between Catholics and Jews. But many Jewish leaders around the world said they are discouraged by the statement.
"We are disappointed and saddened," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League.
Added Robert S. Rifkind, president of the American Jewish Committee, "It tells the truth, but not the whole truth."
Jewish leaders argued that the Vatican document failed to acknowledge adequately the role that centuries of anti-Semitic church teaching played in paving the way for the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews.
The Vatican statement stressed that the Holocaust was not inspired by Christianity. The Holocaust, the document said, was "the work of a thoroughly modern neo-pagan regime. Its anti-Semitism had its roots outside of Christianity."
But, Jewish leaders maintained, many Christians were intimately involved in the Holocaust.
"The people who killed Jews during the day then went to church on Sunday," said Foxman, a Holocaust survivor. "They were not aberrations. They were part and parcel of what Western civilization was.
"Two thousand years of teaching contempt of Jews by the church was part of the underpinning of the Holocaust. We expected more from this pontiff who has been so courageous in reconciling the Church with the Jewish people."
Many Jewish leaders were particularly scornful of the Vatican statement's portrayal of Pius XII as a wise diplomat who helped save many Jews.
While individual priests and nuns risked their lives to save Jews during World War II, the Vatican remained silent, even though, historians say, its hierarchy knew about the genocide being waged by the Nazis.
According to religious scholars, Pius XII did help rescue Jews in Rome in 1943 and 1944. But Jews say he could have saved countless more lives had he been outspoken years earlier.
"We believe that the historical record does not allow us to disregard the harsh fact of the refusal of important church leaders to take even those minimal steps of compassion and rescue that were clearly within their power to provide," said Phil Baum, executive director of the American Jewish Congress.
Vatican historians state that Pius XII chose to be circumspect because he believed protesting would only make things worse for Jews as well as Catholics. Jewish leaders remain unpersuaded and have repeatedly called on the Vatican to make available all documents related to its conduct during World War II.
Because of its role as a moral leader, the Vatican has been under intense pressure finally to confront the church's behavior during the Holocaust. It was only after the Second Vatican Council ended in 1965 that the church officially lifted its condemnation of Jews for the death of Jesus.
In a brief introduction to the Vatican statement, the pope urged Christians to "examine themselves for the responsibility they too have for the evils of our times." John Paul said he hoped the document would "help to heal the wounds of past misunderstandings and injustices."
In some of its most powerful language, the statement did acknowledge the culpability of Christians who failed to protect Jews from the Nazis.
"We cannot know how many Christians … were horrified at the disappearance of their Jewish neighbors and yet were not strong enough to raise their voices in protest," the document said. "For Christians this heavy burden of conscience of their brothers and sisters during the Second World War must be a call to penitence."

This shirt feels like a medium or large to me even thought it's a small. After I washed it, it seemed to get even bigger! The color is nice though. And the fabric is very heavy- so it won't be comfortable when the weather gets hotter. Oh well- I was hoping I'd love it ;-/Date published: 2015-05-20

How To Trade Binary Options Safe
There are folks out there making enormous cash on commodities investments. It is a high risk market, also it may be extremely explosive with Secure Trader. Among the most effective methods to gain on commodities is through commodities options trading. This really is quite popular as it provides the chance to make enormous gains while risking a comparatively modest quantity. The difficulty for the average Joe is the comparative sophistication, and inability to finish such trades with no broker. Additionally, it may be quite expensive to delve into commodities options trading. That's where binary options come in. They provide a very easy, and accessible approach to attempt trading commodities options. The internet agents bill zero fee, and minimum investments are extremely low. It's possible for you to try it for as little as $30.
You may be wondering what binary options are, as well as the way in which they connect to commodities options trading. Binary options are comparatively new to the U.S., although they've been popular abroad for a long while. The thought behind them is simplicity. In my opinion that's the primary draw. Along with the simplicity, they offer great ROI for those who own a talent for forecasting tendencies. You can benefit by up to 81% in as very little as an hour! You see, in addition to being straightforward, and possibly quite rewarding, they're also rather short term. Just how do they work in relation to commodities options trading? You can view binary options as a stake (is not any market investment?). What you have to do is determine whether a commodity will rise or fall in the specified option timeframe. This may be an hour, a day, or a week. You place your investment. You can purchase a call option, or a put option. As little as $30, or as much as $3000. Notice which you never really own the asset. In the event that you bought a call option, you'll be given a predetermined wages when the option expires. If it's in the cash, you stand to gain 65-81%. When expiring out of the cash, you stand to lose 85-100%. It's high-risk. The beauty of it's in the simplicity, and short term gains.
As with commodities options trading, binary options require that you simply do the appropriate research. This is significant with any investment, and binary options are no different. If you're able to become skillful at forecasting short term tendencies, there's now easier, or more lucrative means to invest with commodities options trading than with binary options.
Binary options are financial instruments that carry some risk. It's possible for you to purchase Binary Options on stocks, leading indices, commodities, and currencies. You'll have the capacity to make a forecast on what you consider an underlying assets cost will be later in the day or even week. Essentially, you take a position on whether you believe the cost will probably be greater or lower by the time the option expires. In case your commerce is right, then you'll get a payout predicated on your own initial investment. In case your commerce is wrong, then you may lose your initial investment (yet some brokerages give refunds up to 15%).
Here are some common questions that people have who are unfamiliar with these financial instruments. This ought to help clear up any mistake you've right now. Do I've Possession in the Business? It is a standard question from individuals. As you're trading assets of a particular business, it may seem as if you'd have possession. Yet, all these aren't shares and you WOn't have some possession. Buying a binary option instead provides you with the capability to generate income on the movement of an asset's market price. Once the expiry time comes, you'll have no other ties to any firms. How Does Binary Options Trading Work? First you'd decide an advantage. In this case we'll use gold as our strength to trade. You believe the market price of gold will likely be greater in two hours than it's now. So, you decide to purchase a binary option worth $100 on gold. The broker you go through says that you've got a yield of 76% on this trade. In case the amount of gold is higher, then you'll receive $176 back (your initial $100 investment plus $76 gain). In case the amount of gold is lower, then you definitely lose your first $100. After a trade is over, you've got no more ties to it and the most you can lose is your first investment.
Where Might I Trade Binary Options? There are lots of Agents accessible through the world wide web. Each has their particular benefits and pitfalls. Some have platforms which are extremely quick and user friendly even for first-time dealers. Others offer excellent strategies for those who deposit cash in their Secure Trader System. They're going to give videos along with eBook's covering the most effective methods to trade and turn a profit.

Wow, I could not understand your problems with this car more! I had the same problem with my air system in the rear and my dealership fixed the problem, it was a relay switch and cost me $600 for the repair. That was at 35 thousand miles. No warranty. I bought mine new, and now have 55 thousand miles. It squeaks everywhere! My cd player skips and sound system if not loaded version like mine is horrible.Mp3 is not a stock option as it is with most american made cars. Neither is automatic lights. Not enough cup holders or even close. Lots plastics on inside and outside of vehicle have became loose or just fallen off. Lighting is all red and hard to read and shifting colom is not lighted at all. Over all in three years, not impressed with this vehicle. Trading it in for a domestic brand, want more for my money.

Pros: Free and very accessible parking. The free breakfast is always a benefit especially when you have little ones to take care of.
Not the hotel I usually stay in on the Plaza but since I was traveling with small children and they served the free breakfast I wanted to give it a try. I appreciated that they were able to accommodate an extra night at the last minute when my travel plans changed. I know they were sold out so it was just their customer service that was able to make it work for us. Otherwise I was going to have to change hotels.

Question asked by Greg Dunlap 1517 days ago
Can anyone recommend a compact, stationary bicycle with magnetic-resistance?
I don't have room to bring my real bike indoors, and I hate the friction resistance that I always see on compact stationary bikes; is there a good one that folds up and can stay in a corner when not in use, yet has magnetic resistance?
Answers (3)
Answered by Philip Carpenter Lee 1511 days ago
Although you specifically say you do not have room for your outdoor bike, I still recommend an indoor trainer versus an indoor bike. You will end up saving space and the computer monitors for outdoor bikes are better than those for indoor stationary bikes. My indoor trainer folds up and slides under my bed when not in use.

I agree with Phillip. What difference does it make if you bring your bike inside for a short time, or have an indoor bike? I suggest that you search Performancebikes.com. They have some excellent indoor trainers. The Kinetic Road Machine is an excellent indoor training tool.
Can't imaging a stationary that is always in the way taking up less space than a real bike that can be put back outside.

Collectible After All: Christiane Paul on net art at the Whitney Museum
The Whitney Museum artport has been an important institutional presence in net art and new media since its launch in 2002. Created and curated by Christiane Paul, artport features online commissions as well as documentation of new media artworks from the museum's exhibitions and collections. This year, artport as a whole was made an official part of the Whitney Museum collection; to mark this occasion, participating artist Marisa Olson interviewed Paul about the program's history and evolution over thirteen years.
Douglas Davis, image from The World's First Collaborative Sentence (1994).
Collections like artport are a rare and valuable window onto a field of practice that, in some senses, was borne out of not being taken seriously. From mid-80s Eastern European game crackers to late-90s net artists, the first people working online were often isolated, by default or design, and were certainly marginalized by the art world, where few curators knew of their existence and fewer took them seriously, advocated for them, or worked to theorize and articulate the art historical precedents and currents flowing through the work. Help me fast-forward to the beginning of this century at one of the most important international art museums. Many of the US museums that funded new media projects did so with dot-com infusions that dried-up after 2000. Artport officially launched in 2001; the same year, you curated a section devoted to net art in the Whitney Biennial. What was the behind-the-scenes sequence of events that led to artport's founding?
I think artport's inception was emblematic of a wave of interest in net art in the US around the turn of the century and in the early 2000s. This more committed involvement with the art form interestingly coincided with or came shortly after the dot com bubble, which inflated from 1997–2000, had its climax on March 10, 2000 when NASDAQ peaked, and burst pretty much the next day. Net art, however, remained a very active practice and started appearing on the radar of more US art institutions. To some extent, their interest may have been sparked by European exhibitions that had begun to respond to the effects of the web on artistic practice earlier on. In 1997, Documenta X had already included web projects (that year the Documenta website was also famously "stolen"—that is, copied and archived—by Vuk Cosic in the project Documenta: done) and Net Condition, which took place at ZKM in 1999/2000, further acknowledged the importance of art on the web.
US museums increasingly began to take notice. Steve Dietz, who had started the Walker Art Center's New Media Initiatives early on, in 1996, was curating the online art Gallery 9 and digital art study collection. Jon Ippolito, in his role as Associate Curator of Media Arts at the Guggenheim, was commissioning net art in the early 2000s and in 2002, Benjamin Weil, with Joseph Rosa, unveiled a new version of SFMOMA's E-space, which had been created in 2000. This was the institutional netscape in which I created artport in 2001, since I felt that the Whitney, which had for the first time included net art in its 2000 Biennial, also needed a portal to online art. The original artport was much more of a satellite site and less integrated into whitney.org than it is now. Artist Yael Kanarek redesigned the site not too long after its initial launch and created version 1.1. Artport in its early days was sponsored by a backend storage company in New Jersey, which was then bought by HP, so HP appeared as the official sponsor. I think it is notable that sponsorship at that point did not come from a new tech company but a brand name that presumably wanted to appear more cutting edge.
booomerrranganggboobooomerranrang: Nancy Holt's networked video
Nancy Holt, Boomerang (1974), still from video.
In her time on this planet, Nancy Holt came to be known as a great American Land Artist, and certainly her brilliant installations, like Utah's Sun Tunnels and collaborations with her partner Robert Smithson and their peers, are profoundly significant, but it was her work in film & video that has had the greatest personal impact on me.
I somehow didn't see Boomerang, her 1974 video performance usually credited to her collaborator Richard Serra, until I was a Ph.D. student in Linda Williams's Phenomenology of Film seminar at UC Berkeley's Rhetoric program, but the time delay was more than made up for by the work's formative resonance. In the video, made during Serra's residency at a Texas television station, a young Holt is seen sitting in an anchor's chair before a staid blue background. Despite brief station ID graphic overlays and one minute of silence in the midst of the ten-minute piece (announced as audio trouble and reminding viewers of the work's live TV origin), the work is in many ways sound-centric.
Sound and Image in Electronic Harmony
On Saturday, April 11th, New York's School of Visual Arts will co-present the 2009 Visual Music Marathon with the New York Digital Salon and Northeastern University. Promising genre-bending work from fifteen countries, the lineup crams 120 works by new media artists and digital composers into 12 hours. If it's true, as is often said, that MTV killed the attention spans of Generations X and Y, this six-minute-per-piece average ought to suit most festivalgoers' minds, and the resultant shuffling on and off stage will surely be a spectacle in its own rite. In all seriousness, this annual event is a highlight of New York's already thriving electronic music scene and promises many a treat for your eyes and ears. The illustrious organizers behind the marathon know their visual music history and want to remind readers that, "The roots of the genre date back more than two hundred years to the ocular harpsichords and color-music scales of the 18th century," and "the current art form came to fruition following the emergence of film and video in the 20th century." The remarkable ten dozen artists participating in this one-day event will bring us work incorporating such diverse materials as hand-processed film, algorithmically-generated video, visual interpretations of music, and some good old fashioned music-music. From luminaries like Oskar Fischinger, Hans Richter, and Steina Vasulka to emerging artists Joe Tekippe and Chiaki Watanabe, the program will be another star on the map that claims NYC as fertile territory for sonic exploration. - Marisa Olson
The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens, Greece, has committed itself to curating a number of recent exhibitions of internet art. Their current show, "Tag Ties and Affective Spies," features contributions from both net vets and emerging surfers, including Christophe Bruno, Gregory Chatonsky, Paolo Cirio, JODI, Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, Les Liens Invisibles, Personal Cinema and The Erasers, Ramsay Stirling, and Wayne Clements. The online exhibition takes an antagonistic approach to Web 2.0, citing a constant balance "between order and chaos, democracy and adhocracy." Curator Daphne Dragona raises the question of whether the social web is a preexisting platform on which people connect, or whether it is indeed constructed in the act of uploading, tagging, and disclosing previously private information about ourselves on sites like Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook. Dragona asks whether we are truly connecting and interacting, or merely broadcasting. While her curatorial statement doesn't address the issue directly, the show's title hints at the level of self-surveillance in play on these sites. Accordingly, many of the selected works take a critical, if not DIY, approach to the internet. The collective Les Liens Invisibles tends to create works that make an ironic mash-up of the often divergent mantras of tactical media, culture jamming, surrealism, and situationism. In their Subvertr, they encourage Flickr users to "subverTag" their posted images, creating an intentional disassociation between an image's content and its interpretion, with the aim of "breaking the strict rules of significance that characterize the mainstream collective imaginary..." JODI's work, Del.icio.us/ winning information (2008) exploits the limited stylistic parameters of the social bookmarking site. Using ASCII and Unicode page titles to form visual marks, a cryptic tag vocabulary, and a recursive taxonomy, their fun-to-follow site critiques the broader content of the web ...
Reappearance of the Undead
In 1997, internet art hall-of-famer Olia Lialina made a "net drama" called Agatha Appears that was written for Netscape 3 and 4 in HTML 3.2. One of the main features of the interactive narrative was the travel of the eponymous avatar across the internet. Let's just say the girl got around. But the magical illusion of the piece was that she appeared to stay still, even when links in the narrative were clicked and the viewer's address bar indicated movement to another server. But in time, both the browser and code in which the story was written became defunct and the piece unraveled as the sites previously hosting the links and files upon which Agatha was dependent disappeared or cleaned house. Such a scenario is common to early internet art (and will no doubt continue to plague the field), as ours is an upgrade culture constantly driving towards new tools, platforms, and codes. Many have debated whether to let older works whither or how it might be possible to update these works, making them compatible with new systems. For those who are interested, some of the best research on the subject has been performed by the folks affiliated with the Variable Media Initiative. Meanwhile, luddites and neophiles alike are now in luck because Agatha Appears has just undergone rejuvenation. Ela Wysocka, a restorer working at Budapest's Center for Culture & Communication Foundation has worked to overcome the sound problems, code incompatibilities, and file corruption and disappearance issues, and she's written a fascinating report about the process, here. And new collaborating hosts have jumped in line to bring the piece back to life, so that like a black and white boyfriend coming home from war, Agatha now offers us a shiny new webring as a token of ...

"digital poetry" & network conditions
Lewis (et al),
Though I, too, called for "net art" to be specific to the net, I
think that we may be over-glamorizing and under estimating certain
network conditions. Lewis, in your critique of [digital poetry] you
say, "it operates with a totalitarian economy...it's closed, no-one
can walk inside it really, no one can move anything in it..." This
point implies that a linguistic act (poetry) can escape closed
systemiticity, which seems impossible to me. (along the same lines,
when you say "one can't translate Finnegan's Wake into cinema because
it's a linguistic experience," I want to insist on remembering the
difference between "linguistic" and "written.) But *more* important
to me, in your critique, is the assumption that the very dynamics of
reading must be somehow different on the internet; that an art work
or artist is not living up to its/her mandate if it does not
illustrate this difference. (ie you refer to "the ones that are just
I see a sort of slippage, here, in that we have all been insisting on
the way in which a text (visual, verbal, written, aural, etc) is
changed/completed/authored by the reader in her interpretation or
performative enunciation of the text. (you described your own net
work, saying, "the work itself ends up being authored mostly by the
user and the machine-though I would urge us to think about how
"language" might be used in place of "machine," both as a catch-all
for analog and digital work, and because I think you mean more the
system than the machine-the machine cannot drive itself, can it? It
needs a language and instructions written in that languageS)
If we are to insist on this, however, we cannot say that the act of
reading is "actionless" in one medium or platform over another. This
needs to refer to reading at large, though we'd be remiss not to
notice the different reading conditions (in this case, network
conditions) at play, effecting the construction, dissemination,
accessibility, physical and intellectual labor of reading, and
interpretation of the work. But this just recalls the age old
story|discourse distinctionS
This concern carries over to my understanding of your statement, "i
want a new art form, a new form of digital poetry that's less
cinematic..." Are you saying that you want something read more
actively than a "passive" cinematic text? (this was a common
critique of Heavy Industries' Flash movies) I am well-aware of
important readings of cinema's cultural context, in relation to
leisure/class, passivity, spectacle, and (easy)identification;
however, I would again underscore my point that there is an action
happening in these readings. Let's think about how a cinematic
narrative is read, in relation to a written one. (and while I
understand the coding of the word narrative, I think that my comments
here could also refer to "non-narrative" texts that are read
spatially, as in poetry-of course, what's not read spatially?!) We
read words/images in a specific order, whether or not that order is
traditionally "linear," or more what I call "curvilinear" (in the
sense that the order may change, but all of the
pieces/words/signifiers are still linked in a distinct way); this
reading-order is a product of our (linguistic) enculturation, of
course, but we must first agree that some process is in place. No
matter what this process is, the text is subject to secondary (and
tertiary, etc) revisions, as we retroactively make sense of the
pieces, in relation to each other, new information, etc. So, when mez
"u" is qualified by "do.NT." This much is obvious. What it should
also make obvious is that I, as a reader, am performing an action.
Bracketing "death of the author" arguments, this action is roughly
the same whether I perform it in response to an e-mail, Flash site,
piece of paper, metal engraving, or filmS. I would, however, be
interested in hearing more on how/why you think that a work becomes
"damaged" when it is translated into another media. Are you referring
more to an artist's intent or the aesthetic value of the work?

Re: "digital poetry" vs net art
>more importantly, should they be?
an interesting question, though i do wonder if "digital poetry" isn't
a romanticization of work (text-based or otherwise) constructed
and/or experienced in/with digital media.
of course you know that your question involves defining the
"products" of two practices that tend to defy
definition--particularly among these object-oriented lines. however,
i would most certainly say that there is a "poetics" of "net art," in
the sense that there are specific rhetorical, narratological,
structural conditions under which the work is made, represented,
distributed, accessed, interpreted, etc.. the means, modes, and
vehicles by which it signifies....

Re: "digital poetry" vs net art
this is actually a really interesting point. i have been concerned
that so much recent "net art" is only "net" art because it is on the
net, but is really more design (or whatever else) thrown up there and
not something that references its context, its site-specificity, or
network conditions in any way. somehow i want to insist on this
self-reflexivity, despite the fact that i don't ask a photo to
reference its conditions as such.. i just happen to like it when it
it's also interesting to think about the concealed form or life of an
"object" prior to its final incarnation in its destined media.
remember that the VGIK filmmakers made "films" on paper in meager
times... the whole ephemeral media debate re-raises this issue with
regard to the life_span_ (and archival properties) of a new media
with poetry, i wonder how, as you say, it exists "in its own right."
do you mean that it is a poem first and then becomes digitized? in
what form does the "digital poem," as lewis put it, exist? are you
referring to something jotted down on paper prior to its digitization
or something that exists as an intellectual entity? my hunch is that
you may mean that poetry exists as poetry before (or above) its
existence in any specific media, but i find it hard to divorce the
creative form from its medium if only because it will inevitably be
schematized in relation to its medium--it is, afterall, something
expressed and defined in relation to its interpretation, as you say
>but your visit creates a unique iteration
and that interpretation (or "visit") is always-already predetermined
by the material conditions of its iteration, insofar as (a) that is
the dimension by which it can be actualized or read, and (more so--b)
the base-matter that comprises that materiality will always be
constitutively comprised of cultural precursors; the cultural
conditions for representing and interprteting (and all in
between--protocol, etc) are bound up in the formula of the poem's (or
image's, or treatise's, or code's, or network's, etc.) medium.

Additionally, the S-Bahn trains stop just 200 meters from the hotel entrance, thus you can get to/from the airport real fast (approximately 30-35 minutes). The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. Definitely this place is worth staying.
