The word: „Cyberspace“ is known now as an artword, its born from the word „Cyber“ (a shortform from the english word „Cybernetic“ that again comes from the greek word „Kybernetike“; „The art of navigate“ and the word „Space“. On the worldfamous Macy-Conferences in the years 1946 till 1953 Cybernetik was something of high interest. Wellknown and famous scientists as Alan Turing, John von Neumann and Heinz von Foerster started here from scratch the modern computertechnics and the programm-architecture, today the basics for the Cyberspace. The real Cyberspace was opened by Secondlife. So you speak of web 3-D or so called Metaverses. The Metaverses are Internet-based virtual time-space-infrastructures. The miracle that we are experiencing today: the Cyberspace, the dematerialized virtual time-space, the worldwide webbed society. where we „surf around„ with lightspeed. An artist that is NOT using this virtual universe as a challenge and a goal doesnt deserve the name „Avantgarde“

This e-book dedicated to the pioneer of the Cybernetic Art

Nicolas Schöffer.

He was one of the most important artists of the second half of twentieth century. Father of Cybernetic Art, thus of so-called „interactivity“, he wanted to bring a prospective and non-backward-looking vision of Art, which could help mankind to develop itself with a good hold on true creative and liberating possibilities of our times.

6 carp 3 CARP 4 (cybernetic art research project) Programm Progam starting at 2008-03-15 ending at 2008-04-30 First I would like to thank you all so very much for the work you did and the way you all participated in CARP 3. The Audio Artists: noiz Papp, Junivers Stockholm, and Kourosh Eusebio The Visual Artists: Juria Yoshikawa, Debbie Trilling, Caravaggio Bonetto, Josina Burgess, Eden Toll, Abstract Baroque and Velazquez Bonetto. Special Exhibitions: Kaarl Merlyn & Eifachfilm Vacirca In CARP 3 our group concentrated on the creative techniques, creative collaborations and what we did with all that in CARP before. The outcome was in many themes extreme surprising. Especially the digestion of the “Collaborative Audiovisual Improvisation” in short” VJAZZ showed a very creative potential.. A special THANK YOU to Calimera Lane, Josina Burgess, Caravaggio Bonetto, Eden Toll, Abstract Baroque, Kourosh Eusebio and Junivers Stockholm for the incredible involvement. The VJAZZ sessions were planned upfront to be performed in 30 minutes. But in many sessions we still were improvising after 4 hours and this fully enthusiastic. For all of us it worked as a narcotic. We became addicted to VJAZZ. A great Thank You to Olga Wunderlich for her engagement to our group and specially for the presentation in the Directors Lounge (Improvisation (Virtual Jazz) by Juria Yoshikawa, visual artists and Noizz Papp sound artist/musician) And a special Thank You to Debbie Trillling who took a very difficult assignment on her shoulders: Organizing The Wall Mega production and build that on many occasions herself and program it. This production will be ready in CARP 4. Also many Thanks to Kaaarl Merlyn for his Village Installation in the Diabolus Galery and to Eifachfilm Vacirca for his wonderful 444 Performance. Theme proposal for the CARP 4 Project: Our CARP 4 program will be very simple. Finally we want to express something with all that we have learned in the CARP projects before. This time its about the content. In

the carp 4 idea tree this program The Wall project will be performed direct for an audience. And we want to give more dimension on the VJAZZ sessions what we will show at the Global Justice Gala; a Protest show of the 21st century. The quintessence in CARP 4 is to bring our knowledge into a Global Common Communication. Of course every spontaneous idea will be welcomed and worked out as far our resources let us. Just like in all the other CARP projects. The CARP 4 Team: The Audio Artists: Junivers Stockholm, Kourosh Eusebio The Visual Artists: Calimera Lane, Debbie Trilling, Caravaggio Bonetto, Josina Burgess, Velazquez Bonetto Elfod Nemeth Duggy Bing, Juria Yoshikawa, How we Work: 1. Open communication, co-laboration and co-operation 2. Open idea and know-how exchange 3. Open audiovisual component and script exchange Rules: 1. There are no rules. Inovation is not bind to any rules. 2. Out of the first rule there are no further rules.

carp 3 H.J.Krysmanski Power Structure Research: Descriptions model of the ruling class today A Version was published in ‚Wissenschaft und Frieden‘ 4/2004: http://www.uni-muenster.de/PeaCon/global-texte/ globalws0203.htm „Four Authority’s In general you can deduce a certain description model out of the Power Structure Research of the ruling class or elite. Beyond there are 4 groups linked by a function covenant where you find 4 sub systems of systems like: functional relation - ownership – administration – distribution and employer relations. In the heart of this functions covenant is the group of the personal richness. For example the Super Rich: they represent the Power of Money. In every occasion and through micro – networks, or “Philanthropy”, or the power machine of Foundations an Institutions this group has a huge influence in businesses and worldwide community’s in live. This new form of Philanthropy stands above the normal capital market in their way of functioning. They cant be ordered in somehow capital fractions and is mostly busy with trans capitalistic forms of capital destruction to withhold power competition. With the disappearing of the Sovereign forms of the modern time still this group, as the only ones, can use a upper sovereign state form to reduce “the Regime of private removal , universally. (Hardt u. Negri 2002, 313) The next group represents the power of the companies. There are the Chief Executive Officers of Industry, Finance and Militairy, that form a kind of securing wall around the core of the super rich and form together with them the pact of „Corporate Community/ Upper Class“ (Domhoff). This company-elite has a priority in increasing and administration of the capital of the super rich and has many multi millionaires between them. The can be seen as the Capitalistic class in the traditional form.

In between this administration elite there are of course capital fractions and economic grounded interest contradistinctions, specially between the big trans national companies that go beyond national borders and function as connections in global systems and the restricted modern economy of earlier years. (Hardt u. Negri 2002, 165) The third group, already more derive, represents the Distribution Power. Here it is commonly the political class, a real serving class, able to preserve the distribution rightouseness of the company-elite and their appearance. In the core of this political class the Oligarchy’s or the “Political Management` (Mills) are acting. Election wars mostly to get people on certain positions. Further the distribution politics has reached a step in the global, conditions where the universal values of justice cant play any role anymore and the “art of governance” exist.. “ Do not integrate conflicts, only when they submit to a coherent social dispositiv, or when the differences can be controlled(Hardt u. Negri 2002, 348) The complex ring on the outside builds finally the layer of Technocrats and Services. Here the power of Science and communication are used. In this army of Assemblers, Experts, Helpers from all dimensions of the society. (Science, Media, Culture, Technique and so on) is the real knowledge of the real functioning of the capital world systems and their sub systems with critical and maybe subversive tendency mixed, so contradictions can be changed into actions. All together this 4 ring system shows and describes the worldwide experimenting to re-organize of the ruling class, that without a strong state and under the conditions of regulation of economic, collective forms, have to survive. The absolutely designated personnel of this “Ring castle”. In fact a few thousand in the outside ring, operates more and more in a environment of absolute corruption: “The relation of corruption in the Antiques and in Modern times towards world-relations were named as falsifications. Corruptions (as a statement) cant play any role in the governance forms of today, because they themselves are the substance and the totality of the Empire. Corruption is

H.J.Krysmanski Power Structure Research: Deskriptionsmodelle der herrschenden Klassen heute Eine Version erschien in ‚Wissenschaft und Frieden‘ 4/2004: http://www.uni-muenster.de/PeaCon/global-texte/ globalws0203.htm „Vier Machteliten Verallgemeinernd kann aus dem Power Structure Research ein bestimmtes Deskriptionsmodell herrschender Klassen oder Machteliten abgeleitet werden Danach gibt es vier Gruppen, die in einem Funktionszusammenhang stehen, den man aus den vier Subsystemen des Systems der Produktionsverhältnisse – Eigentums-, Verwertungs-, Verteilungs- und Arbeitsverhältnisse – ableiten kann. Im Kern dieses Funktionszusammenhangs findet sich die Gruppe des privaten Reichtums bzw. der Superreichen; sie repräsentiert die Geldmacht. Über Mikro-Netzwerke, über ‘Philanthropie’ und über die Machtmaschine des Stiftungswesens übt diese Gruppe auf alle (auch die abseitigen) Bereiche des gesellschaftlichen und weltgesellschaftlichen Lebens einen enormen Einfluss aus. Diese neue Form des Gottesgnadentums steht, was seine gesellschaftliche Funktionsweise angeht, oberhalb der üblichen Kapitalverwertungsprozesse, kann nicht bestimmten „Kapitalfraktionen“ zugeordnet werden und ist vornehmlich mit transkapitalistischen Formen der „Kapitalvernichtung“ zwecks Verhinderung von Machtkonkurrenz beschäftigt. Mit dem Verschwinden der Souveränitätsformen der Moderne verfügt nur diese Gruppe, als einzige, noch über Souveränität; denn „das Regime privater Enteignung [tendiert dazu], universell zu werden.“ (Hardt u. Negri 2002, 313)

Die nächste Gruppe repräsentiert Verwertungsmacht. Sie besteht aus den Chief Executive Officers aus Industrie, Finanz und Militär, die gewissermaßen einen Schutzring um den Kern der Superreichen formen und mit ihnen gemeinsam den Komplex der „Corporate Community/Upper Class“ (Domhoff) ausmachen. Diese „Verwertungselite“ ist vorrangig mit der Mehrung und Verwaltung des Vermögens der Superreichen beschäftigt und weiß ihrerseits viele Multimillionäre unter sich; sie kann als Kapitalistenklasse im traditionellen Sinne begriffen werden. Innerhalb der Verwertungselite gibt es selbstverständlich Kapitalfraktionen und folglich ökonomisch begründete Interessengegensätze, insbesondere zwischen den „großen transnationalen Konzernen, die nationale Grenzen übergreifen und als Bindeglieder im globalen System fungieren“ und den „begrenzten modernen Unternehmen früherer Jahre“. (Hardt u. Negri 2002, 165) Die dritte Gruppe, bereits erheblich differenzierter, repräsentiert Verteilungsmacht. Hier handelt es sich. allgemein gesprochen, um die politische Klasse, eine echte Dienstklasse, zuständig für gesellschaftlichen Konsens und für die Aufrechterhaltung eines Anscheins von Verteilungsgerechtigkeit. Im Kern der politischen Klasse agieren Oligarchien oder „politische Direktorate“ (Mills). Wahlkämpfe drehen sich im allgemeinen nur um die Besetzung dieser Positionen. Im übrigen hat Verteilungspolitik unter Globalisierungsbedingungen eine Stufe erreicht, in welcher universelle Werte wie Gerechtigkeit überhaupt keine Rolle mehr spielen (können) und ‘Regierungskunst’ darin besteht, „Konflikte nicht zu integrieren, indem sie sie einem kohärenten sozialen Dispositiv unterwirft, sondern indem sie die Differenzen kontrolliert.“ (Hardt u. Negri 2002, 348) Den komplexen Außenring schließlich bildet die Schicht der Technokraten und Dienstleister, hier wäre Wissens- und Kommunikationsmacht zu verorten. In diesem Heer von Beratern, Experten, Helfern aus allen Bereichen der Gesellschaft (Wissenschaft, Medien, Kultur, Technik usw.) sind genaue Kenntnisse über die Funktionsweisen des kapitalistischen Weltsystems und seiner Subsysteme mit kritischen und zum Teil subversiven Tendenzen vermischt, so dass hier Widersprüche zur Handlungsreife gelangen können.

Insgesamt veranschaulicht und beschreibt dieses VierRinge-System heute weltweit stattfindende Versuche einer Reorganisation von herrschenden Klassen, die sich ohne einen starken Staat und unter den Bedingungen einer Umstellung der Regulierung von ökonomisch-kollektiven Formen zu individuellen Formen das Überleben sichern müssen. Das durchaus benennbare Personal dieser ‘Ringburg’ – im Kern wenige Tausende, im Außenring einige Millionen – operiert zunehmend in einem Milieu absoluter Korruption: „Während Korruption in der Antike und in der Moderne im Verhältnis zu den [...] Wertrelationen bestimmt wurde und als deren Falsifikation galt, [...] kann Korruption heute [als Begründung] der Transformation von Regierungsformen gar keine Rolle spielen, weil sie selbst ja Substanz und Totalität des Empire ist. Korruption ist die reine Ausübung des Kommandos, ohne jeden verhältnismäßigen oder angemessenen Bezug zur Lebenswelt.“ (Hardt u. Negri 2002, 398) „

carp 3 Name: José den Burger. SL name: Josina Burgess José studied at the Famous Artists Schools of America and graduated in illustration, advertisement,free painting and drawing. She studied under Ben Stahl, Al Parker, Jon Witcomb, Fred Ludekens, Peter Helck, got her papers in 1967 and then decided to become a ...........singer! As a singer she worked successfully in the Netherlands especially in the 70ties (was the first female protestsinger) . She made several albums , was a member of the Knokke Songfestival Team and had her own radio and personality show on the Dutch Television. She worked with the well known Ted de Braak in all Dutch Theaters and was a guest in many radio and television shows. She traveled around the world and performed in the Intercontinental Hotels,Theatershows, on Cruiseships and in many International Television Shows. In Spain she was appearing for 4 years on Spanish television and in the years after that she became the leading lady of the well known close-harmony trio „The New Shepherds“ and after that of „Close Encounter“ and was leader of her own 7 mans band „September“. Made several albums again and performed on Dutch radio and television. During all these years of traveling she continued painting and drawing and was inspired by the countries she visited. The work has many facets, just like a human has many sides in his or her personality. Feelings and impressions, sometimes subtile, but also powerful and above all the use of bright colors are specific for her Art. Non-figurative, abstract as well as figurative paintings, explosions of color, gold and bronze, memories and feelings are telling their story. In the end of 2006 I started Secondlife, after seeing something about it on the Dutch television. I was really interested to find out what happened there with Art. I Found that many galleries interested to exhibit my Art and started from there. But just showing images of my real life paintings was not enough and I started to search for new challenges. So I went into to making dresses using the images of my real paintings as textures on them and called them “Wearable Art”. It was an immediately success and after I met Velazques Bonetto I started to experiment more with different textures I made from images of projects in SL as well as images or designs I made specially for the dresses or other projects. From Velazques I learned how to use scripts and started to animate the dresses as well. Going from there I went into building sculptures and installations using scripts in an ”Innocent” way and some times the effects were amazing. It has my total interest now and I love the new challenges and possibilities to create a total NEW ART that never existed before elsewhere. www.josina.eu

carp 3 RL Name: László Ördögh Diabolus What motivates a designer, human engineer and virtual reality software developer to go to Second Life and getting involved in this incredible world? Playfulness, the happy Homo Ludens? Maybe that too. But I have much more serious motivations: 1: - What I enjoy in SL is the pioneer spirit that rules in this world. In my daily real life working with industrial virtual reality I am also pioneering. But in RL you cannot make everything what you could imagine in your fantasy. There the discussion goes about much money, resources, management, hierarchy, organisation, economical efficiency and so on, not really about things that really matter. SL is a dematerialised world with a high degree of abstraction to realize all possible and impossible associations . It’s the perfect playground, for thinking „Bioavatars“, to experiment with substantial subjects without the material consequences. 2: - I started in SL with the idea to build a Avatar Museum there, had to be there because SL is the Future and its useless to stay in the past being busy with that. 3: - The most valuable what I got from SL are the good friends I have there: Josina the best Muse ever and the most reliable Partner in all the adventures, Caravaggio, Jan, Juria, Noizz, Terri, Whyzzer, Manax and all the others in my friends list. 4: - An Avatar in SL is the real metacommunication. Behind every avatar there is people and the avatars are very able to present or show their mentality and norms. 5: - SL is a concept for creative competence, the ideal platform to research and experiment art of the future. 6: - SL is also in the Social Surroundings with simple rules and a Global Community without any borders. Maybe an example for our RL community. Short RL bio:

juria yoshikawa

After two decades of creative pursuits - ranging from conceptual art, installation, poetry, performance, computer art, animation, photography and digital design - Juria Yoshikawa (a.k.a. Lance Shields, Tokyo-based new media artist and designer) arrived in Second Life in the winter of 2007 looking for a new artistic spark. Rather than bringing in rl artwork, Juria is compelled to use mainly the elements that make up sl itself. A typical Juria Yoshikawa virtual artwork mixes kinetic objects, light sources, animated texture, ambient noise and av animations. She inevitably chooses scales larger than conventional gallery work because she is interested in people experiencing the work in a physical way - flying through them, riding on them and socializing within the art. To Juria virtual art is about freeing oneself up to create in ways she finds impossible in real life. In my real life, I am Lance Shields, a new media artist, creative director, interactive designer and social media specialist. Graduating with a BFA in new media from San Francisco Art Institute in 1992, sculpture and installation are where I started my rl creative career but I became progressively more involved in the digital and interactive. I see Second Life as a return back to my artistic roots yet at the same time combines my newer interests in the phenomenology in the virtual world. Phenomenology is defined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the reflective study of the essence of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of viewâ&#x20AC;?. In my commercial life, I am a social media strategist a global company embrace social networking, blogging and Second Life.

debbie trilling Debbie Trilling entered Second life in October 2006, and immediately began creating. As a Technical Artist she combines the elegance of mathematics with the visual aesthetics of colour, movement and shape to produce work unique to Second Life. Within the Second Life virtual metaverse Debbie has found the medium of Particles a perfect outlet to bring these visualizations to life, and her particle work has been acclaimed for its sophistication and imagination. ‚The Particle Garden‘, Debbie‘s installation for CARP2, combines traditional SL particle techniques with complex coding algorithms to produce never-before-seen visual effects breathtaking in their beauty. Debbie also works with a number of Real-World science museums with a Second Life presence, including ‚Exploratorium - The Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception‘ and ‚Sploland - The Museum of Science, Art and Human Imperfection‘. On 30th Jan 2008 she will be creating the particle effects for a meteor collision with Mars scheduled for that date.

Break those WALLS lyrics by Josina Burgess They build Walls between countries They declare each other Bad They say: There is the enemy But the Walls are in their head… There are Generals and there are Presidents And they all speak out to the crowd To convince just everybody That there´s a war that is allowed… Look in your heart to see if there is a wall to break and let your mind be free just be real not another fake All these men, great and mighty Tell us “others” they are bad But what real is and what is certain Are the Walls right in their heads… It is time to awaken It is time that it is said give us back what you have taken Break those Walls right in your head… Break those Walls............

134 carp 3 „A human being is part of a whole,called by us the „Universe,“ a partlimited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.“ Albert Einstein

Global Wood.

Lyrics by Josina Burgess There is a wood…a Global wood, where money hangs on trees It generates a Global wealth for just a few to see Only a few.. a Happy few.. they closed an evil pact This small amount of Human Snakes.. that made this self-select Billions go to Afghanistan and millions to Atjeh The victims of old Pakistan, for the happy few a play A Game to get the money there, for nobody to find Just in Their pockets it will end ad suffering leaves behind It’s a global wood Global wood In - balance is the name The dance around the money tree For the happy few their game And Libra’s arms are not alike, the balance is not right The suffering of half the world causes hate and war and fight But the happy few , the Happy few, don’t care. Don’t feel. Don’t see They dance their dance of ignorance .. around the money tree It’s a global wood Global wood In – balance is the name The dance around the money tree For the happy few their game

I have had a lifelong interest in photography, and am now bringing my work to public view for the first time, through participation in the Second Life art scene, with a showroom in the Cetus District. I aim to produce pictures that transcend representation, conveying the emotion latent in our perception of things, and exploring the human capacity to find meaning in the natural world. My pictures represent my own view, or rather my personal, often emotional response to the world I see around me. Our perceptions are always being shaped by our emotions and our state of mind, and this is what I try to express. These photographs are not intended to be objective (despite being just photos) and I would like you, the viewer to look at them in the light of your own feelings. In my talk I will discuss my „faded flowers“ pictures. The exhibition “Faded Flowers” is a set of digital close-ups of garden flowers (roses, peonies and poppies), taken over a period of a few days as the blooms fade and die, changing colour, texture and shape and displaying unexpected riches. I will also introduce the landscape pictures currently on show in my Cetus district gallery

2008.03.29. the disaster at

diabolus When working on a new project I (Josina) was approached by a avatar with a question. He told me , he did put his ao (overrider)o n the floor on one of our platforms, but could not find it back. Could I maybe find it for him and return it? I went on the IN Land program and looked for items belonging to him and it showed there were 11 items, so I selected them and gave the order to return them. Right after that whole parts of every platform including the ground floor disappeared……. It was a Mess.. the exhibitions we did carefully build (velazquez) were half gone, floors were no longer there so we couldn’t walk around, and the store on the ground floor

missed parts. The platform where THE WALL was situated was a disaster too, and it was not possible to rebuild, because items returned very slowly and after putting something back after 11 minutes everything disappeared again…. We stood for a riddle… what happened here. First we thought the guy could be a terrorist and did put scripted items (bombs) around and just needed a touch from owner.. we confronted him with it and he assured us he had nothing to do with this and was as much surprised as we were. I wrote a report and did send a e-mail to SL as well. The next day everything was still the same, We all still had no idea what to do to solve this and were blaming SL now. Eden got in contact with a member of the Linden Family and Debbie finally had a solution. What happened with the parameter, could that have been changed??? Velazquez looked and yes the parameter was changed form 0 into 11. That made that we could not repair anything and items disappeared again. Now we could fix everything again. Ekim Linden, a member of the Lindens came also to see what happened but at that moment we already found out about the parameters. Still we don’t have a clue HOW this parameter was changed.. so when all of the sudden stuff disappears…Look there and see if something has changed. We all at CARP had 2 days of standing in disaster. Now all is fine again but it was a experience we will not forget soon.

Eden Toll

visual poetry Eden Toll (RL Janine Miller-Fritz)Artistic Summary: I am Technical Artist that works in mixed media (metal, wood, pyrotechnics, neon, fiber optics someone who was trying to grief me. Education: Computer Science and Hardware Enginereeing Artist StatementI have lived in Boise, Idaho USA for the last 30 years and worked in the high tech industry for over 18 years. Light and electricity as an art form is not a common one. I found this to be a great way to integrate my love of technology with my love of art. My goal is to create art that is automated, interactive and can be touched, handled and played with in a public arena. By doing so I believe I am deliberately blurring the distinction between spectator and participant, thus redefining the way we look at art. We find ourselves as part of the art and the beauty of it. About Second Life. I have found that my interests in second life are the same as my real life pursuits. My focus for the last several years have been on creating events to support local charities and non-profit foundations . I have found the opportunity to do so also in Second life, United Kingdom Cancer Research, American Breast Foundation, Uthango, Virtual Africa and Burningman\Burninglife are some of the event that have benefited from firework displays. While currently working in pyrotechnics in the RL as a Burningman artist, I have found this real world application helpful while designing particles sculptures that utilize, scripting , music and animation in cyberspace. I look forward to pushing the limits of this technologies and developing some innovative designs with the Carp4 team.
