SPIRIT SURFING

One of the most beautiful experiences I have had with a piece of internet art was not had at my computer, it was had while seated in traffic on Texas Interstate 35. A post I had seen on the surf club nastynets.com suddenly dawned on me there in my car — with no computer around to distract me, the true nature of this post was revealed. The post didn’t end at the edge of the computer. The post was woven into the same source code as the world. It was part of a borderless art, an art constructed of only spirit and no material. The post was everywhere, a fog in the universe waiting for someone to walk in to it. Looking past the taillights in front of me, I could see the post weaving through traffic.

I am greatly indebted to the surfers of Nasty Nets for getting me excited about art again. Simply by typing a series of letters into a browser I was connected to a shapeless organization of users who rearranged bits that were unimportant individually but who’s sum amounted to something so massive that it could only be thought about and never seen. Ever since Nasty Nets ended, Paul Slocum and I have wanted to feel part of a strong surf community again. Over many phone calls our mutual feelings on surfing have solidified, and we have developed a philosophy of surfing that I will attempt to express here as part of the founding of a new surf club, spiritsurfers.net.
INFOmonks and INFObrats

Joseph Cornell collected tidbits that he came across in his daily life and then set them into frames. The frames were rectangular windows that reclaimed the objects through his choice. A fork in Cornell’s box was an object of focus made powerful by its framing. The act of choice to put that fork in that particular box pointed to choice (more than raw invention) as the essential act for a world overloaded with objects. The choices involved in Cornell’s boxes are remarkably similar to choices involved in surf club posts. Is the box 8″ x 7″ and made of white wood? Is the <td> for the images 500 pixels by 400 pixels with a 4 pixel border of #FF0099? Should the wooden spool sit above the rubber ball? Should the animated gif sit above the midi file?

Critics and artists alike are certain that Joseph Cornell’s boxes constitute art, yet many remain skeptical of web surfing as an art practice. These skeptics are confused about surfing because they move the internet around like forks at a dinner party. They see the web as a practical and entertaining service: Amazon.com, United.com, Ebay and Facebook and iTunes. They bounce around on the exterior of banners and buttons. They’re information brats. INFObrats are on the web for obligations in their material and practical lives. They shop, instant message, pay bills, relay practical data, and consume.

Not everyone on the web is looking for practical information. Some look to remove the fork from the dinner table and set it into a frame of their own devising. Some pay homage to the fork as it is. Some treat the web not as a shopping mall, but as a spiritual realm. They work towards the glorification of the web and the spirit that constructs it. They work for no reward other than the credibility bestowed on them by fellow surfers. They are not just surfers, but monks. Behind the shopping mall of the web there are beautiful gardens being cultivated by these INFOmonks.

The Boon

As I have gathered from watching some of the great surfers of our time at work, surfing is the balance of making choices and being led. Surfing is being led by the wave as you make your choices. The wave stirs up gifts, and it is the ability of the great surfer to recognize his or her arrival at a worthy gift. On Spirit Surfers this gift is referred to as a boon. The boon is revealed at the eureka moment of a surf when the surfer becomes enlightened by the INFOspirit.

Areas of high potency on the web may be filled with boons begging to be shared. The boon may strike the surfer in a single icon, or be hidden in the source code. It may be a cluster of jpegs left untouched, or a gif with a single frame added. Some of the great surfers of our time have found incredible boons in something as tiny as a 256 pixel bitmap. Other surfers rearrange their finds in attempt to encapsulate the surf in a more profound way. A hyperlink or list of links is not much of a boon. A link is an entry to another surf, a starting point. A boon is a jewel. These jewels are what separate surf clubs like Spirit Surfers from social bookmarking sites — the posts on Spirit Surfers are jewels publicly removed and reset.

The Wake

As you surf you are able to view the beauty of your own wake as it fades around you. Any boons you encounter come within the context of everything you have encountered before and after them. You are able to contemplate not just the jewels of your search, but the entire wake of your path. The form of each boon is therefore the shape of the wake made during the process of the surfing.

How can we better let others experience the wakes made by our surfing? In attempt to emphasize the process of surfing, posts on Spirit Surfers are divided into two sections — one for the boon, and one for the wake. In the wake section surfers will try to provide insight on the process that lead to that boon. I have often wondered about the wakes of some of the great surfers. How and where did they find these jewels? Perhaps this will be best expressed through a literal list of links, through a description of perceptions had during the discovery of the boon, or (if the boon has been massively altered) through some elaboration on its rearrangement.

The Frame

I hear it chanted often on the web, “finding is making, finding is making.” Perhaps finding is making, but finding is not enough. A jewel set into a poor setting degrades the jewel and does not do justice to its beauty. A jewel set poorly also does not allow others to develop a criteria for recognizing the most beautiful jewels. It is the framing of the finding that rewards us with the greatest bounty.

Surfing is often an activity we resort to when at a loss for what else there is to do. We wander around the web, unsure of ourselves. INFObrats surf in this way, clicking around on links as they shop and consume. The mere act of surfing has no status as a gift. But INFOmonks use great care in the framing of their boons, and these frames give the otherwise modest activity of surfing the status of a gift. INFOmonks are adept not only at finding, but at framing a boon in a way that best reveals its ineffable truth.

What then is the criteria used to frame a boon? Criteria of the physical world does not help us enter net art. There is great subtlety in the framing of boons, a subtlety that we are only just beginning to built a criteria for. Perhaps if we strengthen our criteria through experiencing many boons on a standardized forum such as Spirit Surfers, we will see new beauty in the web.

The Cloak

One day Joseph Cornell found a playing card and a toy bird in an empty lot and carefully arranged these items inside a box. One day an INFOmonk found a .gif logo and a .midi file on a real estate website and framed them in an html table. Both the INFOmonk’s and Cornell’s choices were made with intelligence and inspiration and an acute personal criteria. Both sets of choices resulted in subtleties worthy of further study. But while Cornell received a check for thousands of dollars after he made his choices, it is generally accepted that the INFOmonk will never receive any money in return.

What the INFOmonk will receive in return is a spiritual currency. A nonmaterial act reaps a nonmaterial reward. The pious surfer does not surf for the glorification of the self but for the glorification of the web. For this reason the INFOmonks on Spirit Surfers will be known only by their usernames. These usernames are not chosen, but given to them by other surfers. Identities are not annihilated, but cloaked. Total secrecy is not important. Surfers may choose to reveal their usernames on other sites. The cloak is just a gesture of anonymity, a message that says, “the web as a whole is more important to me than my own name.”

The INFOspirit

The INFOmonk is often disinterested in physical art and is not always fulfilled by objects. Rightfully, the INFOmonk turns to the spirit world for fulfillment, surfing for boons that will give him clarity. The INFObrats still believe in physical masterpieces. The INFObrats try to produce physical masterpieces, and they even use Google to search for physical masterpieces so that they can go visit them or purchase them.

The greater masterpiece isn’t something that can be found on Google. The greater masterpiece is the INFOspirit that constructs all of Google. The greater masterpiece is the INFOspirit that constructs all YouTube videos and all celebrity gossip blog posts and all jpegs of Van Gogh paintings and all of officemax.com and all net art yet made. While the physical connections of copper and silicon that contain the web could be destroyed, the INFOspirit cannot be destroyed. The INFOspirit is not bound by the constraints of the universe. The INFOspirit reveals to us an art that is unreachable, but right at our fingertips — an art that is infinitely sized, but as simple as a cigar box of thimbles.

The goal of spiritsurfers.net is equally simple: surfers, reveal to others the majesty of the INFOspirit.

SPIRIT SURFING


L’une des plus belles expériences que j’ai eu d’une œuvre d’art sur Internet ne se fit pas devant mon ordinateur mais alors que je conduisais sur la nationale 35 au Texas. Un post que j’avais vu sur le surfing club nastynets.com m’est apparu, là, dans ma voiture — sans ordinateur pour me distraire, la véritable nature de ce post m’était révélée. Le post ne se bornait pas au support de l’ordinateur. Il était tissé dans le même code source que le monde. Il faisait partie d’un art sans frontières, un art construit seulement par l’esprit et non matériel. Le post était partout, comme un brouillard dans l’univers attendant quelqu’un pour le traverser. En regardant passer les feux arrières devant moi, je pouvais voir le post entrelacer le trafic.
Je suis très redevable des surfers de Nasty Nets pour m’avoir redonné la saveur de l’art. En tapant simplement une série de caractères dans un navigateur, j’étais connecté à une organisation informe d’utilisateurs qui réarrangeaient des bits n’ayant individuellement aucune importance, mais dont la somme s’élevait à quelque chose de si grand que ça ne pouvait être que pensé sans être jamais vu.
Depuis la fin de Nasty Nets, Paul Slocum et moi voulions de nouveau sentir une partie de la communauté forte. Échangeant de nombreux appels téléphoniques, nos sentiments mutuels à propos du surfing se sont solidifiés, et nous en avons développé une philosophie que je vais tenter de vous présenter ici comme la part véritable de la fondation d’un nouveau surfing club : spiritsurfers.net.

INFOmonks and INFObrats

(Les moines et les morveux)

Joseph Cornell collectait les meilleurs morceaux de ce qu’il rencontrait au hasard de sa vie quotidienne et ensuite, les disposait dans des cadres. Ces cadres étaient des fenêtres rectangulaires qui se réclamaient des objets qu’il avait choisi. Dans une Cornell’s box, une fourchette devenait un objet d’attention rendu puissant par son encadrement. L’acte de choisir de disposer telle fourchette dans une telle boîte particulière pointait (plus encore qu’une invention brute) un acte essentiel dans un monde surchargé d’objets.

Les choix impliqués dans les Cornell’s boxes sont remarquablement semblables à ceux engagés dans les posts des surfing clubs. Cette boîte mesure-t-elle 8″ x 7″ (20,3 x 17,7 cm), est-elle faite de bois blanc ? (…)

Critiques et artistes s’accordent sur le fait que les boîtes de Joseph Cornell répondent de l’art ; cependant, beaucoup demeurent sceptiques en ce qui concerne les surfing clubs entendus comme pratique artistique à part entière. Ces sceptiques sont troublés par le surf en tant que pratique car ils utilisent Internet comme ils utilisent une fourchette lors d’un dîner. Ils voient le web comme un outil pratique et amusant : Amazon.com, United.com, Ebay, Facebook et iTunes, ils rebondissent sur la surface des bannières et des boutons. Ce sont les morveux de l’information. Les INFObrats sont sur internet par obligations matérielles et pour leur vie pratique. Ils achètent, chattent, payent leurs factures, transmettent des données, et consomment.

Tout le monde ne cherche pas des informations pratiques sur Internet. Certains cherchent à déplacer la fourchette de la table du dîner pour la replacer dans un cadre de leur propre invention, d’autres rendent hommage à la fourchette telle qu’elle est ; d’aucuns prennent le web non pas comme une galerie commerciale mais comme un royaume spirituel.

Ceux-là travaillent à la glorification du Web et de l’esprit qui le construit. Ils ne travaillent pour rien d’autre que la crédibilité qui leur est accordée par les autres membres. Ce ne sont pas de simples surfers mais des moines.

Derrière le centre commercial du web, il y a les jardins resplendissants cultivés par ces INFOmonks.

The Boon (la bénédiction)

Comme je l’ai déduit à force de contempler les plus grands surfers de notre temps, l’acte de surf est l’équilibre entre faire des choix et être orienté. Se laisser porter par la vague comme faire ses propres choix. La vague amène à des richesses, et c’est la capacité du surfer qui permet de mérriter cette richesse. Sur Spirit Surfers, cette richesse est induite pas le boon. Le boon est révélé au moment eureka d’un surf, quand le surfer se voit illuminé par l’INFOspirit.

Des domaines potentiellement riches sur le web peuvent être plein de boon prêts à être partagés. Le boon peut se présenter au surfer comme une icone ou peut être caché dans un code source. Il peut se présenter comme un groupe de jpegs inaltérés ou comme un gif animé dont une séquence a été rajoutée. Les meilleurs surfers de notre temps on trouvés des boons incoyables dans de petits éléments comme des bitmap de 256px. D’autres surfers classent leurs trouvailles dans le but de réinterperter le surf de façon plus profonde. Un hyperlien ou une liste de liens n’est pas un boon. Un lien est la porte vers un nouveau surf, un point de départ. Un boon est un bijoux. Ces bijoux son ce qui différencie un surf club comme Spirit Surfer d’un site de partage social. — les posts sur Spirit Surfers sont des bijoux remis à disposition.

The wake (l’éveil)

Lorsque vous surfez, vous êtres capable de saisir la beauté de votre propre wake qui passe autour de vous. Chaque boon que vous rencontrez apparait dans le contexte de tout ce que vous avez vu avant et après. Vous êtes capables de contempler non pas les bijoux de votre recherche mais l’entièreté du chemin. Par conséquent, la forme de chaque boon est l’image du wake qui s’est dessinée durant l’action du surf.

Comment pouvons nous retranscrire au mieux notre éveil durant notre surf ? Dans le but d’accentuer le processus du surf, les posts sur Spirit surfers sont divisés en deux sections. Une pour le boone, et l’autre pour le wake. Dans la partie Wake, les auteurs vont essayer de rendre compte de l’intuission qui les a guidé jusqu’au boon. je me suis toujours demandé quels auraient put être les wake de certains grands surfers. Quand et comment sont-ils tombés sur ces bijoux ? Le wake pourra être une liste de liens comme une description des perceptions resenties pendant la découverte du boon, ou (si le boon a subit des domages) à travers sa réparation.

The Frame (le cadre)

Je l’entends un peu partout sur le web : “Trouver c’est créer, trouver c’est créer” Peut-être que trouver c’est créer mais trouver n’est pas suffisant. Un bijoux installé dans de mauvaises conditions se voit dégradé et ne rend pas compte de sa interêt. C’est l’encadrement de la chose découverte qui rend compte de sa beauté.
Le surf est souvent considéré comme un passe-temps. Nous parcourrons le web sans trop savoir pourquoi. Les INFObrats surfent de cette manière : cliquant partout sur des liens commerciaux pour consommer. La simple action de surfer n’a pas le statut d’une gratification mais les INFOmonks se soucient de l’encadrement de leurs boon, et ces cadres rendent précieuse la modeste activité du surfing. Les INFOmonks sont des experts non seulement en ce qui concerne la découverte mais aussi en encadrements des boons afin qu’il révelle sa vérité originelle.
Quels sont alors les critères pour le bon encadrement d’un boon ? Les critères du monde physique ne nous suffisent pas à considérer le netart. Encadrer un boon est subtil, assez subtil pour ne pas pouvoir en dégager des critères. Peut-être que si l’on renforçait nos critères à travers l’expérience de plusieurs boons sur un forum comme Spirit Surfers, nous percevrons une nouvelle beauté dans le web.

The Cloak (le masque)
Un jour, Joseph Cornell a trouvé un jeu de cartes et un jouet en forme d’oiseau dans un terrain vague et a soigneusement installé ces objets dans une boîte. Un jour un INFOmonk a trouvé un logo en Gif et un fichier son .midi sur un site d’immobilier et les a encadré dans un tableau HTML. Dans les deux cas, les choix d’installation de Cornell et de l’INFOmonk on été fait avec intelligence et inspiration et un des critères bien personnels. Mais quand Cornell reçois un chèque de 1000 dollars après avoir fait son choix, il est généralement accepté que l’INFOmonk ne reçoive jamais d’argent en retour.
Ce que l’INFOmonk va recevoir et de la monnaie spirituelle. Un acte non matériel implique un récompense non matérielle. Le surfer pieux ne surfe pas pour sa gloire personelle mais pour la gloire du web. Pour cette raison, les INFOmonks de Spiritsurfers vont être appelés et connus seulement par leurs surnoms. Ces surnoms ne sont pas choisis mais donnés par d’autres surfers.  Les identités ne sont pas détruites mais masquées. Les Surfers peuvent choisir de révéler leurs pseudonymes sur d’autres sites. Le masque est juste un gage d’anonymat, un message disant “le web dans son intégralité est plus important que mon propre nom”

L’INFOspirit
L’INFOspirit est souvent désinteressé de l’art physique et rarement comblé par les objets. En réalité, l’INFOmonk se tourne vers le spirituel pour son épanouissement, surfer pour les boons et leur clarté. Les INFObrats croient encore aux chefs d’oeuvres physiques. Ils essayent d’en produire et ils utilisent encore google pour rechercher les oeuvres physiques afin de pouvoir les approcher ou les acheter.

Le plus grand  chef d’oeuvre n’est pas quelque chose que l’on trouve sur Google, Il est l’INFOspirit qui englobe la totalité de google. Le plus grand chef d’oeuvre est l’INFOspirit  qui englobe toutes les videos youtube et les blog de ragots de stars, et tous les jpgs des peintures de Van Gogh, et tout le net art créé précédemment. Par conséquent les conections physiques de copper et de la silicon valley pourront être détruites, l’INFOspirit ne pourra être détruit. L’INFOspirit ne dépend pas des contraintes de l’univers. Il nous révelle un art innaccessible mais à portée de main. Un art sans dimentions mais aussi simple qu’une boîte à cigares.

Le but de spiritsurfer.net est aussi simple : révéler aux autres la grandeur de l’INFOspirit.
