  Jonah Brucker-Cohen will discuss his work in the theme of   
"Deconstructing
Networks"  in both physical and online instantiations. He will discuss  
his
projects that attempt to challenge and subvert accepted notions of  
network
interaction from software manipulation and rule-based systems to  
translating
virtual processes and conventions into the physical world. Some  
projects he
will discuss include BumpList, an email community for the determined,
Alerting Infrastructure!,  a website hit counter that destroys a  
building,
PoliceState a fleet of radio controlled policecars who's movements are
dictated by keywords sniffed on a local network, and SimpleTEXT a
performance that is controlled by participants through texting messages  
from
their mobile phones.

knowledge,
and between two or more genre. Particular attention will be given in the
lecture to the sonic art work GoingPublik for distributed ensemble. This
work is characteristic of a working relationship between the Arts and  
the
Sciences which not only results in hybrid art forms but also brings  
about
