A Methodological Feedback Loop, Workshop contribution, <\/strong>Conference “The Methodologies of the System”, Hohenheim University, September 4-6, 2008.<\/p>\n Abstract: Investigating a specific theoretical question by empirical means can lead to research processes that closely resemble a feedback loop. Although it may have twists and turns, the details of the theory are both its departing and its destination ground. Like other feedback loops, such research processes require careful tuning of their parameters – the definitions used for the formulation of questions, the contours of codes introduced during analysis, and finally, the condensation of the findings into both textual and visual representations. The workshop contribution will sketch out the research methods currently used during a study that investigates the role of locality and the difference between space and place in the emergence of social order in a specific network of the electronic music scene. Coding social form with Max\/MSP, Workshop contribution, <\/strong>Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen, August 13, 2008. The workshop contribution will report from an attempt at modelling the form of the city in its evolution past the introductions of new key media (language, writing, printing, computer), as described in Dirk Baecker’s “Coding Social Form” project. Such an attempt generates a multitude of questions, because to integrate different stages of modelled social order into one coherent process means having to propose meaningful mediations between them. It also involves the experimental implementation of driving forces, counters, and dampening factors as part of the process of operation.<\/p>\n The visual representation of the process model attempts to create a topical network view of related Spencer Brown equations. This leads to interesting questions regarding the spatial remapping of indicative spaces of form arrangements onto objects in 3D Euclidean space (and their relations) as used in Max\/MSP. The project’s aim is to indicate Eigenforms visually in modelled social processes, which can then be used to describe empirical phenomena and generate leads for further research.<\/p>\n Networked Organizations of Music Cultures, Lecture at Netaudio Festival Berlin, <\/strong>October 6, 2007.

\nExtended Abstract<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAbstract: Max\/MSP is a programming environment that was designed for projects in multimedia art. It takes a high-level approach at signal processing and offers intuitive methods to create logical experiments with the ability to easily scale details of the arrangement to empirical needs.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Abstract: As society continues to process the introduction of the computer, organizations also adapt to its networked potential. Cultural practice has often been on the forefront of such revolutionary social changes, and thus it comes as no surprise that the production and distribution of music as one of the first organizational complexes has undergone the radical shift away from an economy of commodities. On the quest for alternative concepts of organization, the netaudio scene has to establish pioneer knowledge in many fields while dealing with the vastness of linkage possibilities present in its informational surroundings. This paper discusses the rearrangements of social organizations that occur as cultures and economies adapt to the dominance of networked computing in today\u2018s music scenes.
