archaea6.exe at http://www.asondheim.org/portal/archaea6.exe
you must click on the image
this seems to run on PCs with WinXP
i'm not sure what happens with Win98
i tried on Win95 and had to load up so many files it crashed
i reloaded Win95 and it ran faster than ever but not the archaea
i think it might be where vb6 runs and where it does not
the mathematics is complex but not untoward in terms of functions
the program should be allowed to play out
that's why there are no mouseoverunderclicks to cancel
you can resize before but perhaps it would run more awkwardly
archaea6.exe is a lovely arbor and a curtain drawing down
the curtain d. d. is called dusk / closure or perhaps closure / dusk
it is both a time of day and a dedication to romanticist denouement
it is important that the archaea series contains no random function
it is all true calculation of the machine
this is my philosophy in the series which is a philosophy as well

The FLYING SAUCER CAFE reading/media series is starting again!
TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 7:00, At the FLYING SAUCER CAFE in BROOKLYN -
AYA KARPINSKA and TIM PETERSON
(See below for details)
***
AYA KARPINSKA
Aya Karpinska's research and creative work focus on the impact of
technology on artistic practice, in particular computer-mediated music
and literature. Her diverse output includes computer music, fiction,
poetry, web and graphic design, and game design. She recently performed
at Tonic in New York City with her electronic music instrument, container
for sound.
Ms. Karpinska received her Master's degree from the Interactive
Telecommunications Program at New York University.

notes for container for sound
A box containing sounds waiting to be released. The performer unleashes
the composition by opening doors, flapping them like wings to manipulate
sound samples. This electronic instrument was built to explore new
interfaces for musical expression. Although it was designed to be simple
to play, the performer's physical gestures translate into a wide musical
palette.
More information on the development of this instrument can be found at:
http://www.technekai.com/aya/nime/
TIM PETERSON
Tim Peterson currently lives in Somerville, Massachusetts. He attended
Wesleyan University where he majored in art history and then went on to
get his MFA at The University of Arizona. He currently works at M.I.T.
Press. This is Tim's first poetry reading in New York, and to mark this
event Portable Press at Yo-Yo Labs published his debut chapbook titled
CUMULUS.
The Flying Saucer Cafe series pares up new media artists with poets who
instead of giving a reading present a talk relating to their poetry and
ideas.
Tim's talk is titled "Spontaneous Generation." It focuses on writing a
gender by writing a world, and it also deals with issues of private
language, the dialogic, and spatial metonymy: issues concerning Peterson's
identity and his writing process. He says of this, "the two poles of
understanding are on the one hand the urge "to be some body," an ideal
self enforced by society, and on the other hand the limiting specificity
of the question: whose body? in what situation?"

heron and egret
here in kingston, a great blue heron has injured its left foot; it appears
broken.
we went to the fire station.
we called wnep-tv which covers wildlife.
we called the audubon society in harrisburg, 150 miles away; there is no
local audubon society.
we called a local emergency animal clinic.
we called a nearby animal hospital.
we called the pennsylvania game and wildlife commission.
we spoke to people and left messages. there is a chance the bird will
be rescued.
just before, a great white egret, majestic. this bird has also come north.
it was skittish, but flew gracefully.
images of both, documenting the faunal arrivals.
