Blog: Canadian Tories Continue to Cut Federal Arts Funding

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:24:36 +0100

Contributions cut this week by the conservative government:

$300,000 cut from the Audio-Visual Preservation Trust of Canada, which archives and makes available for distribution film, television and musical recordings.
$1.5 million cut from the Canadian Independent Film and Video Fund, which helps top up the budgets of independent films and triggers private investment.
$2.5 million cut from the National Training Program in the Film and Video Sector.

Federal programs canceled this week by the conservative government:

The ProMart program, an artists’ travel support fund. ($4.7 million)
The Trade Routes program that supports film and music exports. ($9 million)
The Stabilization Project and Capacity Building program, which provides financial and administrative support to art groups.

Tories cut funding for artists touring abroad. — CBC:

Ideology played a role in decision, spokesperson acknowledges.

Want a ‘culture of innovation’? Fund our artists. — Globe and Mail:

First we have Bill C-10, the bid to deny tax credits to what the Heritage Minister calls “indecent material.” Meanwhile, other art forms have been told they are insufficiently “mainstream” and their funding has been cut through the cancellation of Trade Routes and PromArt.

‘Left-wing’ writer denies applying for travel grant — Globe and Mail:

The cuts to arts programs hit on a favourite theme of the Tories - cutting spending that appears wasteful and elitist - to gain political advantage in some target markets.

Blog: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:31:28 +0100

Capitalism and Schizophrenia is a two-volume theoretical work by the French authors Deleuze and Guattari. Its two volumes, published eight years apart, are Anti-Œdipus and A Thousand Plateaus.

Translators note from A Thousand Plateaus:

“This is a book that speaks of many things, of ticks and quilts and fuzzy sub- sets and noology and political economy. It is difficult to know how to approach it. What do you do with a book that dedicates an entire chapter to music and animal behavior—and then claims that it isn’t a chapter?”

Blog: An Inch of Rope

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:30:00 +0100

Stung Eye is born again. This is version 3, a lifestream.

This site is now continually (and automatically) generated as I interact with various web services.

To share a link I tag it in my del.icio.us linkstream.
To share a photo I tag it in my flickr photostream.
To post a blog entry I use Tumblr.
Comments are handled by Disqus which in turn provides a commentstream.

I feel so… aggregated.

The site runs on a custom platform that uses CodeIgniter and the Tumblr API. The code is based on a pre-release version of SweetCron. Currently the theme is a slightly tweaked version of the default Tumblr theme. This will change with time.

Various flavours of RSS feeds are available:

The version 2 Stung Eye Archives are still available. I have plans to integrate much of the old non-blog content (sounds, design, programs, words).

If you find any bugs, please let me know. Thank you kindly.
