Hi,

Seems like this discussion has a certain - or un-certain - multifaceted
interest strands, which seem to me possibly significant in themselves.

* The online prohibitive practices.
this reminded me the discussions / time-waste-activities circa '93-'95 re
stuff that is/isn't appropriate to say in emails, the amount of KB that
should be socially acceptable, the language usage, and possibly other
etiquette seeking/forming/enforcing sort of efforts.
Hence, perhaps a bit like Rob, I recall feeling a bit unsure how to join
or be a part of online discussions.
(still, I think, somehow daunting for new-comers..)

* Art linked histories.
While reading the initial emails in this thread, I tried to remember how I
associated art and MUDs, MOOs, and IRCs with artistic practices..
1st search led me to Sherry Turkle - later mentioned by Rob here - however
that wasn't the link.. (eg http://arty.li/ZY5 )
2nd came a memory of the performative in computer interfaces, Brenda
Laurel's theatre..
3rd was a search that led to a clustermag archive http://arty.li/ZYS where
indeed the preson I contacted/pestered at the time and showed me the link
to MOOs and MUDs was mentioned: Allucquére Rosanne Stone
I think that perhaps there is still a significance in current practices,
affairs and networks to the fact Stone was using MOOs and MUDs within
various identity shifts and mutations contexts..

* Archives
I think Groys talks about the archive and archiving as a particular way to
transmit art from one generation/group-of-people/time to another on the
internet. (Am probably paraphrasing a bit..) However the issue/interest
remains rather illustratively poignant in this thread as by evoking
memories and lack of them, we instantly make sort of un-sorted archives
because we use this technology on its email archiving levels. Information
bits that could be used to transmit and convey a certain history and
histories that for most perhaps has never been?

Cheers and all the best!
Aharon

This consists almost entirely of discussions of what generative art
