Movement of Attitudes and Gestures Making the Art::World

More or less viscous crystalline slurry having in general subsidies and which,
by cooling and passing to the state of project gives rise to different states of
the art, called M.A.G.M.A.-states. The M.A.G.M.A.s are enclosed in various
M.A.G.M.A.-tic pockets and spread over the earth's crust during eruptions of
various violences.

=head2 History

This is a long term continuation of an art project started circa 2006.

In 2005, I got a metal box and colored carton cards and called this I<Le
Fichier>. It was basically a database of artworks ideas. I was trashing all
ideas I could have of serious or weird potential artworks. It was inspired
either by Roland Barthes, who was actually working with those kind of cards,
Georges Perec, who was exploring I<potentialities>, and Édouard Levé I<Oeuvres>,
a huge catalog of potential artworks (he later commited suicide after describing
his own I<Suicide> in a book).

2006 I initiated a FileMaker database of artworks to put the old style carton
cards in computer form. I had no idea what I was doing at this time, being an
art school student, at this time, programming was not massively taught as a fine art (unfortunately).

In 2008 I benefited of an artist residency in an agricultural college with a
creation grant of 10 000€. I wanted to keep working on my I<Art World and Creative
Processes schemas> projects initiated during art school. It didn't go very well
because the Plastic Art I<State Inspector> didn't like what I was
doing with her money and strongly advised to change orientation. In my opinion, it
was a perfect thing that the instutition itself would exhibit it's own workings. In the end, there was an exhibition, but she didn't
come to the opening.

Anyway, I ended up interviewing many I<Agents> of the college, and went
especially well with some natural sciences teacher. He recommended a manual were
I found some schemas that I made some I<detournement>: I used the geology
science as a metaphor of art world. I used geology terms and language to
describe social interactions that were not described in the art sociology field.

The residency ended up with L<the redaction of a rather precise documentation|https://files.balik.network/art/schema_v4_presentation.pdf> (FR) and maybe the first specification I ever wrote.

Then I almost got beaten by a fellow artist who was participating in a collective
exhibition mostly for the money and not for the fun. I guess he felt a bit provoked by my situationist theory.

In 2008, I finally decided to start a training to learn programming and design a proper database and system for I<managing a virtual Art
World>. I became a web developer, but I totally forgot the ulterior motive.

Sometimes I thought about it:

=item 2013 Perl try

I bootstrapped a Perl module with 5 abstract empty classes and then let it sleep on Github

=item 2017 Raku try

I restarted my project while getting into Raku
(it was still Perl6 at this time), but learning Raku was too much effort and I
abandonned again.

Ten years later I am still on it. This project is L<following me in my
dreams|https://smonff.gitlab.io/art-school-story/>. I'll give it another try.

=head2 News on perlmonks.org

A series of posts exist on the
L<perlmonks.org|https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11121551>, called the I<Diary of
a Zydeco experiment>. They are supposed to explain in details the motivations of
the project B<and> give some useful technical informations about some shiny
discoveries.
