They are intended to provoke comment and debate on the contexts in which research by Proboscis is carried out. CULTURAL SNAPSHOTS is part of Proboscis' SoMa: social matrices think tank programme. The first in the series is: A NEW CULTURAL REVOLUTION: pervasive information in the new world order This essay looks at the impact of the recent attacks in New York & Washington on the knowledge society and the development of 'convergent' services as part of a social and cultural response. It proposes the integration of wireless communications more deeply into Civil Society by devising civic applications (in addition to existing commercial services) for the new 'digital commons'.

Bibbee and Ollivier Dyens. For more than 3,000 years, humans have explored uncharted geographic and spiritual realms. Present-day explorers face new territories born from the coupling of living tissue and metal, strange lifeforms that are intelligent but unconscious, neither completely alive nor dead. Our bodies are now made of machines, images, and information. We are becoming cultural bodies in a world inhabited by cyborgs, clones, genetically modified animals, and innumerable species of human/information symbionts. Ollivier Dyens’s Metal and Flesh is about two closely related phenomena: the technologically induced transformation of our perceptions of the world and the emergence of a cultural biology. Culture, according to Dyens, is taking control of the biosphere. Focusing on the twentieth century--which will be remembered as the century in which the living body was blurred, molded, and transformed by technology and culture--Dyens ruminates on the undeniable and irreversible human/machine entanglement that is changing the very nature of our lives. Ollivier Dyens is Assistant Professor of French at Concordia University in Montreal.

Old structural barriers have been transgressed on the cultural scene, due to the digital economy and the new media strategies. New creative models of collaboration emerge between institutions preserving cultural heritage, performing arts creating new expressions, and information technology providing tools of communication. The interface between Cultural Heritage, Netart and State of the Art Projects is new. It is both innovative, challenging and a critical vehicle for issues concerning collaboration, communication and dissemination strategies in modern societies. CULT 2001 established a platform for discussions and reflections on these new visions of collaboration and dissemination strategies.

Perhaps that's going too far. I like Erik and all, but I didn't like how he accidentally sent my email address to a bunch of people I didn't know. This morning, however, as I was packing up a shipment of Hermenaut #16 to send to one of our distributors, I was worrying that we're going to sell out every single copy of the new issue, leaving us with zero copies to give away to those with-it, media-literate types for whom we write and edit Hermenaut. That's what happened with #15, to our chagrin. And that made me think that I should offer a free copy of #16 -- the "Stockholm Syndrome" issue, featuring writing by Sam Lipsyte, Keith Gessen, Gavin McNett, Paul Maliszewski, David Mamet, Lydia Millet, Louis Theroux, and Hermenaut's regular contributors -- to Erik's friends and acquaintances. If you've never heard of us, Hermenaut is a journal of philosophy and pop culture published in Boston, Mass. -- we've been described by Wired Magazine as "a sounding board for thinking folk who operate outside the ivory tower," by The American Prospect as "a freelance department of philosophy," and by the Boston Phoenix as "a refreshing challenge to the cultural orthodoxy of self-conscious advertising, unexamined hipness, and empty cynicism." So, here's the deal. I'll send you a free copy of the new issue (I promise never to follow up with any salesman-like communications) if you do the following two things: 1) Tell me a little bit about who you are and what you do. 2) Send me your mailing address. This is a while-supplies-last kind of thing, so if you're interested, please get back to me quickly.
