Here here!
Wanderlust is a center that takes you out of center with the intention of centering you. Centering in the NOW. The Exploratory NOW. The Joyful NOW. The Spontaneous NOW.
Originally conceived by the muser Sebastian Alvarez as an Internet Radio Show (Thanks to freeradiosaic.org) in March 2007, Wanderlust consisted of two hours of music/sound/noise and other audio messages that enter the listener’s brain every Sunday from 4-6pm (Chicago Time).
Today, this Wanderlustmind is here for those who enjoy navigating digressive waters over the Neuro-net. An abstract token memory, a dejavu that never ends.
(Wanderlust does not intend to bring you the latest news out there. Instead, it aims at providing you a select group of information in different sources, times, locations, and contexts. Like us, many of the posts and images will disappear at some point.)
So:
Here I am, quantifying myself, mediating my human condition through a flat rectangular box that stores binary numbers and manipulates data.
My customizations and theme choices partially reveal my socio-political and psychosomatic background. By collecting thoughts, ideas, memories and feelings I become a member of a community lacking cohesiveness. A community connected by phone lines, fiber optic lines, coaxial cables, satellites, and wireless connections. The Web is too vast, so is the world. The number of internet users in this virtual ecosystem is too vast, and so is the people without Web access.
Here I am, using this virtual ecosystem created by people I have never met. I do not know if I am polluting it or actually purifying it.
Here I am in a graphic environment that articulates the self as a networked database.
Here I am with my innate desire to make visible who I am as if it wasn’t enough just to know.
I am work in progress.
Sebastian Alvarez
At the time, Wanderlust is based in Chicago, IL, usA.
