Re: <nettime> The Whole Earth Conference + Turner interview

[Karen O'Rourke <korourke@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for bringing up the "Whole Earth Conference". I wish I had seen 
the show. Where did you find the interview in English with Fred Turner?  
I looked through the podcasts and found only the German translation of 
his keynote.

Following your remarks, I listened to Turner's keynote and am now 
reading From Counterculture to Cyberculture. I am old enough to 
remember  the 1971 issue of WEC. Seen from France today, Turner's thesis 
makes a lot of sense. Many people here did not buy into the 
counterculture, prefering to stick to good old-fashioned agonistic 
politics.

As for the Wiener/Bateson rift, many people in the arts knew Wiener's 
work mainly through the Bateson filter.
