our freedom of the internet is again put under restraint…first it was because of pkk propaganda and now its insults against Ataturk, but I dont seem to buy it because regardless of the offensive content which is in no doubt a minority, the Telecommunications Ministry is not prudent enough in their policy’s, as the authority’s concerned should be able to communicate with youtube to find a way to clean out the offending material…we might not have the luxury to be apolitic in a world of injustice, but when it comes to artistic concerns, and access to material that is productive, I really prefer not to take any notice in political content.   

an excerpt from "audio culture"_readings in modern music

…the old (and new) ’music of climax’ is no longer the prevailing model. for all things are now equal and no one thing is given any priority over any other thing.

merce cunningham summed up the implications of this situation where priorities no longer exist, where every item is of equal value, as early as 1952:

“now I can’t see that crisis any longer means a climax, unless we are willing to grant that every breath of wind has a climax (which I am), but then that obliterates climax being a surfeit of such. and since our lives, both by nature and by the newspapers, are so full of crises that one is no longer aware of it, then it is clear that life goes on regardless, and further that each thing can be and is seperate from each and every other, viz: the continuity of the newspaper headlines. climax is for those who are swept by New Year’s Eve”

genetic architecture-Karl Chu

“With the dissolution of the last utopian project of Man in the name of Communism, the great specter that once haunted Europe and the rest of the world has all but vanished, leaving in its wake an ideological vacuum that is now being filled by the tentacles of globalization with its ecumenical ambition. As humanity has become mesmerized by the triumphant spell of capitalism, what remains less apparent in the aftermath of this dissolution is that the world is moving incipiently toward a threshold that is far more radical and fantastic than any utopic vision since the dawn of the Enlightenment”.        

“The evolution of life and intelligence on Earth has finally reached the point where it is now deemed possible to engender something almost out of nothing.ii In principle, a universe of possible worlds based on generative principles inherent within nature and the physical universe is considered to be within the realm of the computable once quantum computing systems become a reality. For the first time, mankind is finally in possession of the power to change and transform the genetic constitution of biological species, which, without a doubt, has profound implications for the future of life on Earth”.
