> members express their divergent ideas of structure and networking and
> develop them into a common structure which only can be the basis for

> 03: function of (start) function of (shut) function of (stop) function of
> (open) = new border concepts
> [day, december 14 & 15 2001, friday & saturday]
>
> Mathematical functions are the core of algorithms that operate computers.
> Temporal and spatial borders can be written as interacting functions.
> Closings and beginnings, endings and openings combine and cross, thus
> modeling the experiences of borders we enjoy or suffer. Breakthrough,
> shelter, prison, invasion or escape are not neutral in terms of control.
> For: who is able to manipulate those functions? They are always political.
> Liberation was another word for a hack in the system's functions in
> operation, inserting the border of the real into the reality of the
> operating system. New border concepts perform the relations of power as
> well as the dynamics of variable temporal and spatial functions.
>
> CYBERFEMINISM is no game without borders, but a playing with borders that
> takes them seriously, a work at the boundaries of that 'contested zone' in
> which the so-called real and virtual diverge, and which mines utopias of
> transgression, understanding them as a potential for transformation. If
> CYBERFEMINISM is also a utopia, then its utopian designs can be fictions as
> well as specific political options. In the field of CYBERFEMINISM utopias
> offer differentiated models for discussion which can invent new forms of
> communication, open up new articulations of space and time which do not
> only function in cyberspace, or suggest models based on genetic
> technologies, operating new life or gender models.
>
> The borders between political utopia, science fiction, and technological
> innovations have always been fluid - beyond judgment as to value.
> CYBERFEMINISTs take an inventive, tactical part in furthering a
> perforation, diffusion, conversion, transgression, subversion etc. of
> cultural forms with new
> technological possibilities. Some points of critical and creative attitudes
> towards fluid borders and special concern are:
>
> - new forms of global control and subversion through the electronic
> networking technology: how to obtain and secure privacy? how to react to
> the globalized economy and to the growing influence of global trusts on
> national governments?
>
> - realities and utopian fantasies of leaving the limitations and rules of
> the known world behind, in outer space as in cyberspace
>
> - manipulations of human consciousness with drugs/ pharmaceutials,
> psychological control, or media-related brainwashing
>
> - incorporation of technology into the human body and genetic engineering,
> how to understand and invert, use and misuse the possibilities?
>
> - new imaginations of gender with and without medical creations and
> redefinitions of sexual organs etc.
>
> 04: very TRANSGRESSIVE
> On the last evening of the conference there will be party, including
> concerts, DJs and VJs -- an evening when everybody will be crossing borders!
>
> The live acts within 'very TRANSGRESSIVE' give an insight into technical,
> cultural, political and economic inventions of electronic music and sound
> production. They present working methods, with a special focus on the
> underrepresentation of women in this field. What does "feminist" mean for a

> 05: brunch
> [morning/noon, december 16, 2001, sunday]
> A casual get together to think over the results of the conference,
> strengthen our bodies for the trip back home with good food, and say
> good-bye to old and new friends.

> [06: live media presence]

> Smoke billows over Brooklyn and the single broadcast channel has shaky live shots of the towers. I watched after hearing a radio report and got to the TV in time to see a 767 swerve and smash into the second tower. Within an hour both towers collapsed. Lower manhattan was covered with white dust, a suitable veil for the carnage below. Reports, as of 11am NY time, suggest that there are 5 other planes that have been hijacked. NY is being buzzed by F-16s, everything is shutdown, and a haze and white dust is covering everything. The shot showing the damage to the Pentagon appeared amidst reporters reduced to gasps of 'oh my god," as indescribable scenes played in their monitors. As of now (11:13 am) no word from City or Federal officials.
