Solace is a game you will never get to play. A world built from the music up. Each song inspired a different piece of concept art/screenshot.I see the composition and concepts of the game with great clarity. But you can imagine whatever you like.

Psychogeography is an approach to geography that emphasises playfulness and "drifting" around urban environments. It has links to situationism. Psychogeograhy was defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals."[1] Another definition is "a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities...just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape."[2]

I started this site in April 1999 when I found the URL available as I was doing vaguely work-oriented stuff at the reference desk of the community college I worked at in Seattle. I’ve always had things I wanted to tell and show people online and the nascent blog became the way to do that. I’ve worked in many libraries since, and while my interests have evolved, I don’t think they’ve changed terribly much. I love libraries because I believe they are a true manifestation of the public sphere in the US. They are a place where people can read what they want, be who they are, and inform themselves about what interests them.

Neuroaesthetics has generated new tools with which to understand and elucidate the history and the production of art. Through its’ window works of art have been re-sampled to create a productive phylogeny of aesthetic forms, which beyond their primary meaning as art works functioning in the aesthetic field,  can also explain questions that formerly were the jurisdiction of Neuroscience, The Philosophy of Consciousness and Evolutionary Psychology just to name a few.

BOMB was named after Wyndham Lewis’s Blast, a 1917 journal edited by artists and writers. Following in this tradition, BOMB’s editors are also all practitioners of the arts. BOMB was launched because its early editors saw a gap between the way art and literature were discussed and understood by those individuals outside the creative arts and those within the disciplines. BOMB bridges that gap through intellectual, provocative, and daring interviews between artists speaking about their own process, as well as original poetry, fiction, and art.

Fluxus means change among other things. The Fluxus of 1992 is not the Fluxus of 1962 and if it pretends to be - then it is fake. The real Fluxus moves out from its old center into many directions, and the paths are not easy to recognize without lining up new pieces, middle pieces and old pieces together. Dick Higgins

Our history and archive pages show how the studios have developed over the years and include a wonderful set of Moog Demo mp3s by Peter Tod Lewis.

Groundswell is a loose affiliation of critical cultural producers who work at the intersection of art and activism.  Our task is to understand and make use of the long history of radical imagination, desire, and creativity by archiving and discussing the works presented here, while simultaneously participating in the movements that shaped, and were shaped by them.  We are interested in the capacity of art to compose new social relationships that alter, disrupt, channel, or otherwise impact the course of history.

I'm Mitchell Whitelaw, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Design at the University of Canberra. This blog began in 2009 as documentation of a research project on the visualisation of archival datasets, supported by the National Archives of Australia under the Ian Maclean Award.
