Proposed deletion of Mez Breeze

This doesn't seem to pass notability guidelines per WP:ARTIST.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:25, 1 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Has been deleted twice in the past and readded by the same author each time. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

hi, I think Mez is notable in the net art community. I've seen her work since the 1990s. I'll do some searches and try improve the article. I think her mezangelle code poetry / netwurks meet WP:ARTIST # 2. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. and I should be able to find some references. Trauma Wien ArtClub is releasing a book of her work this month too. (which is how I came across the prod tonight) I've only just seen the prod now. not sure if I'm too late - it's late at night here so I might not get it finished until later tomorrow.

(at a quick search..) I see some RS in http://trove.nla.gov.au/website/result?q=%22mez+breeze%22 search results. and I think I have a couple of books here that talk about her/her work. can you hold off deleting for a day or two so I have time to work on the article? thanks. Kathodonnell (talk) 13:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not only has Mez Breeze been a significant figure in net art, text based performance, and experimental new media art works since the early 90s, she is widely considered a foundational/germinal member of entire new genre's of experimental poetry and language arts. Her work is so widely accessible, that she is often considered one of the rare examples of an artists that transcends their own community/medium, as she has been characterized as a poet, a performance artist, a prolific critic/blogger, and experimental computer scientist. I had the pleasure of interviewing her earlier this year for Bad at Sports (http://badatsports.com), a contemporary art blog based in Chicago, IL that has a readership of more than 500,000 readers a month. As a contributor to this project, the editorial process for consideration is highly scrutinized, and the interview would not have happened if Bad at Sports thought that this publication would not be worth while for our wide readership which usually does not consists of people generally considering within the scope of new media arts. As a result, I think that this interview is another testament to #4 (c) with regards to significant critical attention.

here's a biography from http://www.hz-journal.org/n7/mez.html :

MEZ [Mary-Anne Breeze] is an international net.wurker and avataristic author of the networked "mezangelle" system. She has exhibited extensively since the early 90s [eg Wollongong World Women Online 1995, CTHEORY's Digital Dirt, ISEA_97 Chicago, ARS Electronica_97, SIGGRAPH_99&00, _Under_Score_ @ The Brooklyn Academy of Music 01, +playengines+ Melbourne 03, Art of the BioTec Era Adelaide 04, p0es1s Berlin 04 + Arte Nuevo InteractivA '05]. Mez is also an online journalist [e.g see Metamute, The Journal of Digital Information, CyberSociology Magazine, fineArt Forum, and Furtherfield Critique 05], co-moderator of the _arc.hive_ experimental mailing list and operates as an occasional curator and lecturer in Net/Codeworking. Her awards include the 2001 VIF Prize by the Humboldt-Universitat, the JavaMuseum Artist Of The Year 2001, and the 2002 Newcastle New Media Poetry Prize. She was also a finalist for the 2001 Electronic Literature Organizations Fiction Award, 2002 READ_ME Artistic Software Award and the Ngara New Media Poetry Prize 2004.

I'll try find references for these. but I think these meet WP:ARTIST #4 : The person's work either (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition - eg ISEA, ARS Electronica. + the awards meet #4 (c) has won significant critical attention Kathodonnell (talk) 14:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

also, I think some/all of the references on Mezangelle page will provide references for this page. Kathodonnell (talk) 14:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Further I'd say that WP:ARTIST #1 is clearly met by the web sites, #2 by Mezangelle, #3 the existing book and journal coverage and by the forthcoming book, and #4 further by that coverage as well as the multiple exhibitions at leading events and institutions. Rob Myers (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please not this discussion again. mez breeze work is canonical in the field of net art and electronic literature. For scholarly references, see N. Katherine Hayles' books "My Mothers Was a Computer", p. 60 and "Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary", p. 20. User:cantsin (talk(, 21:58, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

removed external links

removed the external links. there seems to be many and people can search. Kathodonnell (talk) 14:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that makes sense. Rob Myers (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added lists of achievements and some inline citations. Rob Myers (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing notability criteria on Mez Breeze page

I've done a rewrite of much of this page in an attempt to provide secondary research and citation, and thus address the notability requirements and prevent this page from being deleted. As a number of users have already attested to Breeze's notability (special thanks to Kathodonnell and Rob Myers for their committed research), I will not rehash the argument here. In short I believe the page's quality has improved. Further improvements are welcomed, including any that might simplify my additions for a non-academic reader.

For the above reasons, I have removed the notability marker and the prod for deletion on this article. --Sally Clair Evans (talk) 01:59, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:42, 8 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Is this the right way to do a citation and quote an author statement?

Help! I am trying to figure out the best way to do a lot of citations, so please let me know if this is not correct. [Por]TrAIts: #AI Characters + Their Microstories [Book 1]’ (2022) ^[1]. This book is a collaboration between myself [human] x DALL-E2 [AI]. "This project explores the reality of AI-genned art [+ its fusion with the English/code-hybrid language termed Mezangelle] and its application as the foundation of a human-AI alliance." from artist's statement.

I will ask in the tea community as well. Thank you. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 18:58, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
