[Nettime-bold] AIR-L Jan - March 2002: The Harrowing of Hell

["Lachlan Brown" <lachlan@london.com>]

I think the AIR-L is as close to hell on
earth as it is possible to come. How can
so many Scholars of Internet pretend such
ignorance about their subject so publicly?
And what does this mean for a cultural understanding of Internet? Culture and Industry
need meaningful information not bullshit.

I see an old colleague Sally Wyatt cites a 'trolling incident' which I think shows 
that she wasn't really paying attention to 
the intervention from jan->march 2002.
Sally, please pay more attention!

I invite people to join the AIR list
to carry on the work I started there.
Ask questions, awkward questions, 
impenetrable questions if need be, demand answers. Kick academic ass. Become the majority, vote me back in.

What I am doing is two things: thinking 
about a list drawing upon expertise in 
several areas with the provisional 
name @party to discuss issues relevant to
the broad diversity of people who presently
have network access, and to consider the issues
that may arise for the people who will have network access in say 7-10 years time. I've
been chatting with a few people about this
during the past few months.
@party of course refers to the party held
at conferences like Worldcom by people who
had email addresses from 1980-mid 90s.
It will be a closed list somewhere between


And, because I enjoyed teaching the 
collectivity of AIR so much I am thinking
through a project called 'the new college'
which will provide diplomas and degrees
online beginning with a basis adult 
education course (specifically designed 
for AIR scholars) introduction to cultural studies. I have a course I prepared in 
1995 for such an eventuality.
