I
> Désert Numérique: worksession + performance
start a list of options
* Brendan proposal as a "station"
-> have a 'screenless broadcast station'? Or a 'broadcasting algolit publishing house'? with Algolit-radio? first node-meeting to share 'algolit', can be yearly session attached to event, publication, research [be funded by something like DICREAM, who financed also curatorial work in France] combined with 1 internal session, supported by Constant
-> use barcode scanner & objects // look into Android barcode-app and deviate it to the database of scripts
* Nicolas Bourbaki, Théorie des Ensembles: collective name for publishing stuff - nice retro-engeneering: mathematicians used fictional name to spread ideas on mathematics / we use mathematical name to spread ideas on fiction; publishing house, hack the format of the scientific paper

WHO?
* Nicolas? Olivier?
I (Olivier) will join unless it interferes too much with my rebuilding our house. I'll know more in a few weeks.
* Andre & Silvio?
* invite others who will be around: we publish agenda on what we're working on, people can pop-up, 15min introduction of their work (~ Loop)
f.ex. 'French connections': Stéphane (Lyon), Antoine (ARLL, Regional support for literature + projects with students in NC-school for librarians in Lyon), Emmanuel Guez (editorial coordinator of MCD-issue on Writing Machines, teaching at Fina Arts School Valence)
Accomodation to work?
* check the space, 8-10 people -> not too many invites! pople have to register? Yes
* check the technical environment to see if we can record/broadcast the performance - have Plan B: paper performance: i'd say plan P
First time we go public, comes the question : what is Algolit ?
radio broadcasting as a common frame
possible method: bring some topic that you want to share
already existing reflections/theories : Florian Cramer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Katherine Hayles, ELO network +"contributions" from guests in the different sessions : Michael, stdin, spanish guys
also important for when we want to invite people for a workshop
1h public recording, broadcast in different places, sent in Radia, placed in radio Panik, etc
recording & try to get people play it back
i.e Langue Schaerbekoise, be in a "room" and broadcast outside
Brendan about Algolit : reading writing arithmetic (the three R's)
what happened to txt when everything is mediated by computation
Nicolas Bourbaki presents / show !
-> can be a different collective name at each broadcast session
Ingredients:
- readings : our readings generated from scripts/corpus + hear other voices (i.e Joyce, Stein, Schwitters, Robbe-Grillet 'La jalousie' reading) + Markov Chain mix (Kavan, Robbe-Grillet, Rhys + birdcall : http://www.cequisecret.net/taxonomy/term/64)
Michèle Métail: http://www.oulipo.net/fr/oulipiens/mm
Kurenniemi's frequencies
- some text-to-speech as voice of the 'presenters'?
- discussion
- music? serialism Steve Reich, Philip Glass? music in the public domain (Rachmaninov, Fats Waller, Edith Piaf...), open source music (playlist VJ14), field recordings around the venue, Dj automatist with archive.org/Andre Castro,
