From galerija.galzenica at globalnet.hr Tue Jun 1 10:31:25 2010 From: galerija.galzenica at globalnet.hr (galerija galzenica) Date: Tue Jun 1 10:31:53 2010 Subject: [spectre] Open call for participation in Galery Galzenica's annual program in 2011 Message-ID: <4C04C55D.3080702@globalnet.hr> It seems that the traditional division between fine and applied arts is still significant. This flexible yet constant dividing line is consistently being drawn even today, when most of the methods we have used so far to make this division are not considered efficient anymore. For example, recognizing different modelling procedures is not sufficient to determine the artistic status of a certain object or product. This also applies to the nature of social activism organized around a well-shaped aesthetic object or event, since political struggle more and more frequently takes place in the cultural sphere. Furthermore, it has never been more difficult to label an object or a phenomenon as art based only on its intertextuality, since the institution of art has become ever more complex, progressively implying a greater number of cultural practices. Following the change in production, the difference between functional and non-functional objects is not as simple as it was at the turn of the 20th century, when, in the wake of the first industrial revolution, an organized struggle was started by artists who actively wanted to participate in making social decisions. Moreover, it has not just become more difficult to determine the line between design and fine arts, but it also seems ? as Hal Foster claims in his book ?Design and Crime? ? that in the recent, so-called post-industrial revolution, almost everything is done according to design principles. Foster claims that this omnipresence of design in contemporary society is the symbol of the triumph of industrial culture which has profited out of the emancipatory projects of avant-garde art. Foster refers to two pioneers of Viennese modernism, Adolf Loos and Karl Kraus, in order to emphasize the necessary distinction between design and art. Paraphrasing Kraus, he claims that a designer transforms art (an urn) into a functional object (chamber pot), while functional modernists transform functional object (chamber pot) into art (urn). Both cases represent totalitarian practices that do not allow for any critical thinking. Foster therefore concludes that, although autonomous art is a modernist illusion, we still need the ?freedom space? which is to be found somewhere between the two extremes. Following this line of thought, we invite you to participate with your works, proposals and curatorial concepts in the process of creating Gallery Gal?enica's program for 2011. Please send your on-line applications to galzenica@gmail.com by July 1st, 2010. Based on the received proposals the curators of the gallery (Klaudio ?tefan?i?, Sanja Horvatin?i? and Nina Pisk) will make the program for 2011 which will be announced by July 15th, 2010. -- Pu?ko otvoreno u?ili?te Velika Gorica GALERIJA GAL?ENICA Trg Stjepana Radi?a 5 HR - 10410 Velika Gorica tel:+385 1 6221 122 / fax: 6226 740 www.galerijagalzenica.info From alexkallos at yahoo.com Tue Jun 1 11:31:32 2010 From: alexkallos at yahoo.com (alex kallos) Date: Tue Jun 1 11:31:56 2010 Subject: [spectre] unsubscribe Message-ID: <519564.31703.qm@web32401.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Can u take off my name from ur mailinglist please?Thank you !!!Unsubscribe please !!!!!!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Association MUU (Finland), Motte, Frise and Altonale Festival, and it is part of MUU Audio Autographs in Hamburg 2010. ----- Wednesday the 16th of June in H?rbar: A lecture and a concert by *Juhani R?is?nen*, who has created a new musical instrument, called *Sormina*. The instrument uses sensors and wireless technology to play music. Its design is guided by traditional instrument building. There willl be possibilities for the audience to try out the instrument after the lecture and concert. The aim of Juhani R?is?nen?s project is to gain knowledge about instruments and their impact in the western classical music. His point is that the material quality of acoustical instruments has had a major effect in the development of music. The concept of tone quality is historically parallel to the availability of raw material suitable for instruments. The same evening a release of a new CD collection of Sound Art produced by the Artists? Association Muu in Finland. The CD, *Muu For Ears 3,* is the third part of a serie of Sound Art publications. The focus of the new CD is on the European Sound scene. www.muu.fi/sound In the lobby of H?rbar a showcase of sound installations from a Interactive Sound Workshop in Helsinki. Results of the workshop can be viewed at Muu's facebook address at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=337547964204 Outdoor concert by Juhani R?is?nen, Saturday 19.6. in Altonale Street festival.

L'oggetto d'arte si schiude e prende la forma di luci soffuse ed abbaglianti, suoni, immagini, che attraggono, respingono, urtano ed accarezzano lo spettatore, invitandolo in un luogo diverso, lungo una sorta di percorso in cui viene accolto in un'atmosfera sospesa e ricca di suggestioni. Un gruppo internazionale di quattordici giovani artisti e critici, che operano a Berlino, presenta in questa occasione un complesso allestimento, dimostrando come l'estetica di oggi, legata all'utilizzo di alte tecnologie, possa venire usata per avvicinarsi ad una forma e una dimensione pi? antiche. Cos? la ricerca di un'espressione multimediale d? forma ad un unico testo, trasponendo le caratteristiche dell'ambiente berlinese, oggi pi? che mai luogo per eccellenza di ricerca e sviluppo dell'estetica contemporanea, in un palazzo antico, lontano dalla metropoli, lontano dai centri predisposti dalla nostra societ? per la produzione ed il consumo dell'arte. Il vernissage della mostra verr? accompagnato da tre concerti e seguir? il giorno successivo un incontro aperto al pubblico con tutti i partecipanti, cercando cos? di ritrasformare ulteriormente il luogo dell'arte in un luogo di vita e non solo di mostra. *Will o' the Wisps* are a rare phenomenon that consists of small phosphorus "clouds", which are produced in special circumstances, by the decomposition of organic matter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o%27-the-wisp These inconsistent flames, traditionally symbol of change and vitality, meaned as a manifestation of the soul in its transition towards the netherworld, are the appropriate metaphor to describe the feeling and the sensitivity that inspired the project for this exhibition. The art objects unfold and take the shape of soft lights and headlights, sounds and images, and they attract, repel each other, collide and caress the viewer, inviting him to a different place along a sort of a path which receives him in a "suspended atmosphere" full of suggestions. An international group of fourteen young artists, and critics who work in Berlin, presents here a complex layout, showing how the aesthetics of today, linked to the use of high technologies, can be used to approach a ancient "shape and dimension". The research of a multimedial expression rises to a single text, transposing the characteristics of Berlin's artistic environment, contemporary center of artistic experimentations of every kind, into an historic building, away from the City, far from centers set up by the society for production and consumption of art.

The House Of Natural Fiber (HONF) together with DeadMediaFM are proudly announced a regular online radio live stream program. The regular online streaming radio could be followed everyday by anyone in the world with internet access. Most of the daily program are stream directly from HONF lab in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The regular program was an output from a cross-collaborative community works between DeadMediaFM and HONF since 2008. The collaboration started when HONF invited Budi Prakosa, Ignatius Aditya and Eka Jayani Ayuningtyas from DeadMediaFM to participate in YIVF#04: Out Of It - Yogyakarta International Videowork Festival, 2008 (http://natural-fiber.com/yivf). Their participation in the festival opened knowledge exchange discussion between DeadMediaFM and HONF and after intensive exchange, both communities started to work together in several projects. By integrating each specialties of the communities, the projects began to evolve to a more constructive projects with mutual objective. In Cellsbutton#03: Our Destitute Nation - Yogyakarta International Media Art Festival 2009 (http://natural-fiber.com/cellsbutton), HONF invited several creative communities to give presentation about their projects and activities in a 100 second presentation session (http://natural-fiber.com/cellsbutton/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=60&Itemid=82&limitstart=12). This session was initiated by HONF to explore local potential from creative communities in Yogyakarta. In the session, DeadMediaFM was presenting the development of podcast and online streaming in Indonesia where they were one of the first few community to start and develop as an online radio. Several challenge and difficulties from DeadMediaFM was infrastructure situation and condition in Indonesia that is not supportive for them to broadcast regularly. Realizing the huge potential from DeadMediaFM, HONF initiated a collaboration between the both communities to create a regular daily program that aimed on young listeners and internet users to access alternative music program from all around the world. Through the open-community method, in YIVF#05: Invisible Video - Yogyakarta International Videowork Festival 2009 (http://invisible.natural-fiber.com/news), DeadMediaFM became part of HONF that actively involved in HONF activities. The main objective from creating the regular daily program was to provide access to alternative music programs, promoting local musicians and also promoting Indonesian music movements for global society. The programs seeks local and international independent music movement and provide the society with updated information which everyone with internet access for free. The daily activities also provide beneficial inputs and outputs for individuals in HONF open-community that is interested in online radio stream, independent/alternative music platforms and radio broadcast. A learning-by-doing method has proven to be the best method in exploring and extracting local potential while a collaboration encourage ideas in to actions. DeadMediaFM is Act-ions on Media! (Brief History of DeadMediaFM) Starting off as a small community (Budi Prakosa, Ignatius Aditya, Eka Jayani Ayuningtyas and Muhammad Ridho) with high interest in alternative music, DeadMediaFM was established in January 2007 as one of Indonesia?s the first podcast website. Through the internet, they has been documenting the local and international independent music movements, discovering and promoting new musicians by providing songs, interviews, info, and live videos which anyone can download for free. In addition, they also give interviews, gig reports and videos from the local alternative music scene in Yogyakarta. In June 2007, DeadMediaFM started to transform as an online radio on the internet, managed and organized by the community itself in their activities. They began to produce broadcasting programs by using their own resources that was collected from every member of the community, they managed to create their own website as a portal of information for the public to access. Their programs was still irregular and promoted using mailing-list to inform their schedule and try to invite new listeners to their broadcast programs. In 2009, DeadMediaFM started to develop their activities by sharing their knowledge with local students in Indonesia. They gave workshops on how to make independent radio and podcast with their own computers and internet connection. One of their workshops was built by collaboration with London School Of Public Relation where the workshop is open with public and international students in Indonesia follow their workshop that was held in Jakarta. They also began to collaborate with HONF in making simple workshops on podcast and online radio that is open for the society of Yogyakarta. Not only creating workshops, DeadMediaFM also created music events to promote national independent musicians to Yogyakarta music scene. In 2007, they held an event called "Dead Cover Version" in Kinoki Yogyakarta which invited various artists to play in the event with performing cover version of the musicians that influential to their own music. This event also contained independent movie screening. In 2008, "Pesona Nada Senja 1" invites national independent artists to perform together with local Yogyakarta musicians. DeadMediaFM held this event as an alternative independent showcase to exclusively present national musicians in a professional concert. Their success continued in 2009 where they held the second edition of the event which called "Pesona Nada Senja 2". In this event DeadMediaFM also invited experimental electronic musicians from Indonesia to perform in Yogyakarta. In technical, DeadMediaFM use Liquidsoap (http://savonet.sourceforge.net) software for open source audio automation. For streaming media server, they use Icecast (http://www.icecast.org) software and Erlyvideo.org for Real Time Messaging Protocol to streaming audio and video directly from the server. To bridge digital connection between both software, DeadMediaFM use Nodejs (http://nodejs.org). Currently DeadMediaFM is trying to build their own free software for everyone to use in order directly connected to DeadMediaFM broadcast. Staffed and helped out by a motley assortment of geek, nerd, crooks, scenester, clubber, ethnomusicology student, bedroom musicians, real musician and random friends from all over the world, they have been bringing fresh music to fellow music lovers ever since. They focus on budding newcomers as well as artists who are worth noticing despite the scarce attention they get from the mainstream media. With the collaboration with The House Of Natural Fiber (HONF) they managed to do projects together and creating mutual beneficial outputs. In 2009, after several projects together with HONF, DeadMediaFM became a part of HONF open-community, doing their programs regularly in HONF daily activities.

Digital games are important not only because of their cultural ubiquity or their sales figures but for what they can offer as a space for creative practice. Games are significant for what they embody; human computer interface, notions of agency, sociality, visualisation, cybernetics, representation, embodiment, activism, narrative and play. These and a whole host of other issues are significant not only to the game designer but also present in the work of the artist that thinks and rethinks games. Re-appropriated for activism, activation, commentary and critique within games and culture, artists have responded vigorously. Over the last decade artists have taken the engines and culture of digital games as their tools and materials. In doing so their work has connected with hacker mentalities and a culture of critical mash-up, recalling Situationist practices of the 1950s and 60s and challenging and overturning expected practice. This publication looks at how a selection of leading artists, designers and commentators have challenged the norms and expectations of both game and art worlds with both criticality and popular appeal. It explores themes adopted by the artist that thinks and rethinks games and includes essays, interviews and artists' projects from Jeremy Bailey, Ruth Catlow, Heather Corcoran, Daphne Dragona, Mary Flanagan, Mathias Fuchs, Alex Galloway, Marc Garrett, Corrado Morgana, Anne-Marie Schleiner, David Surman, Tale of Tales, Bill Viola, and Emma Westecott.

Die Ausstellung MyWar: Partizipation in Kriegszeiten bringt die moralischen Implikationen von Kriegen auf den Punkt, die mittels der Medien erlebt werden. Diese Intervention erfolgt anhand einer Medienlandschaft, in der Web 2.0-Instrumente st?ndig die Art und Weise ver?ndern, wie das Publikum und die User Informationen konsumieren und austauschen. Die Ausstellung folgt zwei unterschiedlichen Erz?hlstr?ngen. Im ersten nehmen die K?nstler eine radikal individualistische Haltung gegen?ber dem Krieg ein. Renzo Martens richtet die Kamera inmitten einer Kampfzone auf sich selbst. Sarah Vanagt und Phil Collins konzentrieren sich auf die Aktivit?ten junger Leute und enth?llen die prosaischen Aspekte des Alltagslebens, von denen die Bloggingkultur besessen ist. Harrell Fletcher l?sst Kinder die Kriegserinnerungen Erwachsener nacherz?hlen, Milica Tomic wirft mit der Dokumentation ihrer Re-enactments von Szenen und Schaupl?tzen des Partisanenkriegs der 1940er die Frage nach der Aneignung solcher Ereignisse auf. SWAMB haben eine Vorrichtung konstruiert, die dem Tr?ger beim Tod jedes Irakkriegsoldaten Schmerz zuf?gt. Dunnes & Rabys (ironische) Pl?schversion der atomaren Wolke soll Therapieobjekt f?r Menschen mit besonderer Angst vor dem Atomkrieg sein. Im zweiten Ausstellungsstrang setzen sich K?nstler direkt mit der Art und Weise auseinander, wie die Webtechnologien globale Kriege infiltriert und beeinflusst haben. Joseph DeLappe gibt in einem Online-Rekrutierungsspiels der amerikanischen Armee die Namen von Irakkriegstoten ein, Thompson & Craighead konstruieren aus Bloginformationen das globale Narrativ eines allgegenw?rtigen Krieges. Oliver Laric zeigt Airbrush-Variationen eines gef?lschten iranischen Fotos eines Raketenabschusses, das im Internet vielfach humorvoll manipuliert wurde. Knowbotic Research bieten ein fiktives Ende einer bewegenden, ?ber YouTube verbreiteten Nachrichtengeschichte, bei der ein junger Pal?stinenser sich in einen Transformer-artigen Roboter verwandelt. Harun Farocki thematisiert die Frage einer computerunterst?tzten Traumatherapie f?r Kriegsveteranen. Beteiligte K?nstler: Joseph DeLappe, Dunne & Raby, Harun Farocki, Harroll Fletcher, Knowbotic Research, Oliver Laric, Renzo Martens, SWAMB, Thomson & Craighead, Milica Tomic, Sarah Vanagt Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst Peterstra?e 23 26121 Oldenburg Deutschland t. +49 (0)441 235 32 08 f. +49 (0)441 235 21 61 info@edith-russ-haus.de www.edith-russ-haus.de Sollten Sie keinen Newsletter mehr von uns erhalten wollen, benachrichtigen Sie uns bitte unter unserer email-Adresse: info@edith-russ-haus.de ********************************************************************************************* MyWar Identity and Appropriation under War Condition June 10, to August 29, 2010 Grup Exhibition in cooperation with FACT - Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, Liverpool, and the media festival ISEA 2010Ruhr Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 8 p.m.: Exhibition Opening Martin Schumacher, Head of the cultural department of the city of Oldenburg Sabine Himmelsbach, Artistic Director Edith Russ Site for Media Art Andreas Broeckmann, Co-Curator, Artistic Director ISEA 2010Ruhr Heather Corcoran, Co-Curator, FACT - Foundation for Art and Creative Technology Blog!, participate! and share! are the battle cries of a media culture in which the boundaries between private and public, between personal and political have been decisively eroded. The exhibition MyWar: Identity and Appropriation Under War Condition pinpoints the moral implications of wars when they are experienced through media. This intervention is delineated by a media landscape where web 2.0 tools are consistently altering the way that audiences and users both consume, and exchange information. The exhibition follows two separate threads. In the first of these, the artists adopt a radically individualistic approach to war. Renzo Martens turns the camera, amidst a war zone, onto himself. Sarah Vanagt and Phil Collins highlight the activities of young people, revealing the mundane aspects of everyday life that blogging culture is obsessed with. Harrell Fletcher makes children renarrate adults? war memories. With the documentation of her own re-enactments of scenes and sites of the 1940s partisan war Milica Tomic asks whether the appropriation of such events is possible. SWAMB constructed a device that inflicts pain on its wearer with every soldier?s death in Iraq. Dunne & Raby?s (ironic) plush version of the mushroom cloud is conceived to be a therapeutic object for people with special fears of a nuclear war. In the second thread of the exhibition, artists directly engage with the way in which web technologies have infiltrated and influenced global wars. Joseph DeLappe uses an online recruiting game of the American army to write down the names of killed American soldiers in Iraq. Thompson & Craighead construct a global narrative of an ubiquitous war from blog information. Oliver Laric shows airbrush variations of a manipulated Iranian image of rocket launches which was widely faked and ridiculed on the internet. Knowbotic Research offer a fictional ending to a moving YouTube-circulated news story, where a young Palestinian boy turns into a Transformer-like robot. Harun Farocki addresses the question of computer-aided trauma therapy for war veterans.

In our laboratories the students and researchers work together, supervised by experts, on commissions with creative use of high-tech materials, digital media and / or information technology. The Patching Zone invites motivated students to participate in a new project, starting September 2010, deadline for applications June 30th: Digital Art Lab location: Zoetermeer (The Hague area) Research question: What should the new art courses for the digital generation look like ? Keywords: art education, game design, youth culture, augmented reality, performing arts, music, peer 2 peer learning In co-operation with the Centrum voor Kunst en Cultuur -Centre for Arts and Culture- (CKC) and The City Council in Zoetermeer This project encompasses a hands-on training for educators of the CKC given by our student team and their supervisors. The project focuses on the connection with young people, the digital generation, and aims to provide them with a digital art lab in the former theatre space of CKC. The training will be built around small digital projects and will finally result in the realization of a cross-media performance, all in close collaboration with the staff of the centre and the users. We will research peer 2 peer learning experiences and generate new ideas for the digital CKC courses in the near future. The project wants explicitly to appeal to the group of young people that are already using digital media and therefore encourages web based, gaming and an augmented reality approach. Apart from the hands-on practice we also aim to deliver a blueprint for art and culture centres 2.0. Students with a background in performing arts, music, education, gaming, peer2peer learning, augmented reality and media studies are especially encouraged to apply. Runtime: September 2010 through September 2011, applications for 1 or 2 semesters accepted. We offer an internship fee and free housing for Master and PhD students.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4C0BC57F.3030701@furtherfield.org> Sorry for any cross posting... Welcome to the June issue of Furthernoise.org. For your reading and listening pleasure, we have a hefty issue loaded with features and reviews on a diverse range of international noise makers. Our audio player is once again replenished with new sounds, so turn up the volume and enjoy ! Furthernoise issue June 2010 http://www.furthernoise.org/index.php?iss=86 "Something New: Moritz von Oswald Trio" (feature) Vertical Ascent sees Moritz von Oswald return to the fray to conspire with fellow tech-vets, Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer. A hybrid of techno, dub and Fourth World fusion, the timbral density, low- and high-end science, and a certain recursion are remotely familiar from of old, with something new coming from a live performance element. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=335 feature by Alan Lockett "Something Old: Monolake, Fluxion" (feature) The 15th year of Monolake was inaugurated with Silence. Robert Henke's latest evidences plenty still left in the creative tank. Something old, renewed. The same cannot be said for lately returned once fellow-traveller, Fluxion, whose dub and tech-house infused Perfused gives off a less than fresh aroma. Something old, alas, gone blue. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=338 feature by Alan Lockett "21st Century Preparation Man" (review) Eric Glick Rieman's prepared Rhodes electric piano involves as much dismantling as insertion, with the insides spread across the performing space, not to mention electronic preparations. What sets Rieman's music apart immediately are the mechanical noises and other native artifacts of the original instrument. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=340 review by Caleb Deupree "Fear of Stranglers - Gail Priest" (review) For some time now, Gail Priest has been exploring the timbre and elasticity of sound in a way that has become distinctly her own. Her new ep, Fear of Stranglers, is the next installment of this exploration, and takes her vocal and sonic manipulations to new levels of textural improvisation and processing. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=343 review by Roger Mills "Flight of the Solstice Queens - Blue Sausage Infant" (review) Washington DC based Blue Sausage Infant paints a dizzying array of sonic wash pulsing with color and Flight of the Solstice Queens does not fit neatly in any given sub-genre of drone, noise, or psyche rock. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=341 review by Derek Morton "L Phantasm - Brown Wing Overdrive" (review) New York extreme noise improvisers, Brown Wing Overdrive are back with another sonic assault with their new album L Phantasm. A "best of" collection from their haunted states circa 2006 and beyond, they describe it as a "prequel to all of BWO's releases thus far." Roger Mills investigates. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=342 review by Roger Mills "Something Blue: Pop Ambient 2010" (review) Kompakt marks each year with an issue of drone and tone poems showcasing the best in neo-classical and ambient. Pop Ambient 2010, curated by Kompakt kommissar Wolfgang Voigt, coordinates the usual shades of blue from perennials Marsen Jules, Andrew Thomas, and Thomas Fehlmann, while Brock van Wey makes a PA debut. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=339 review by Alan Lockett "Something Borrowed: Dettman, Van Hoesen" (review) Berlin's Marcel Dettmann, pre-eminent post-mnml practitioner, delivers his debut, Dettman, which, for all its veneer, is deep in debt to classic techno. Fellow-traveller Belgian producer Peter van Hoesen?s solution to "Techno: the LP Problem" is to tinker with tempo and texture, his Entropic City relieved by cranked down bpms and grit spray. http://www.furthernoise.org/page.php?ID=334 review by Alan Lockett Roger Mills Editor, Furthernoise From jnm at rom.fr Sun Jun 6 23:29:42 2010 From: jnm at rom.fr (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Jean=2DNo=EBl_Montagn=E9?=) Date: Sun Jun 6 23:30:10 2010 Subject: [spectre] Call for projects | Estive Numerique | Digital Peak ] Message-ID: Call for projects Appel ? projet ------------------------ Digital Peak | Estive Numerique is the 5th event of this hackerspaces fest's year in France.

In the society where the notion of utopia has been explored all the way to its glorious, radical bounds, it is especially valuable that this subject receives critical treatment on the basis of new phenomena - such as those presented by media art and science art. The social utopia gives way to the utopia within the scientific realm, while art becomes the ground for reflection on abstract visions, often engaging the visual language of the "technological sublime". The pervasive use of the term sublime within the technological arts provokes a need for the deeper and more multifaceted analysis. Sublime experience is not a state of trance, condition of being overpowered, but quite the opposite - of being aware of this procedure, of the differences between multiple states of consciousness that can be explored only when disrupted. The complexity and controversy of the subject was revealed by the philosophers Helen PETROVSKY (Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Science, editor-in-chief of the philosophical journal *Blue Sofa*) and Oleg ARONSON (Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Science) who incorporated in the debate the discourse of *affect* and *fascination* studies, as well as the methodology of contemporary political aesthetics. Curators and art historians Olga SHISHKO (director of the MediaArtLab, art director of Media Forum) and Daria PARKHOMENKO (director of Laboratoria Art&Science Space) reminded us of the richness of the media art practice itself and discussed such questions as artist and scientist relationships, motivation and outcomes of collaboration, and perspectives for the development of diverse media art in Russia. The debate began with a prelude lecture by Oliver GRAU (Danube University, Austria) *Media Revolutions and the Discourse of Utopia vs. Apocalypse: Integrating Media Art in our Societies*. Discussing media art works by Maurice BENAYOUN, Olaf ELIASSON, Eduardo KAC, Victoria VESNA, Zoe BELLOF, Berndt LINTERMANN et al, the lecture emphasized that teleological models, supporting the patterns of discourse surrounding earlier media revolutions should be incorporated in building the platform for a deeper understanding of today's scientific utopias, like A-Life, Nanophysics or our Media Future. www.garageccc.ru www.ncca.ru www.donau-uni.ac.at/cis www.mediaartlab.ru www.newlaboratoria.ru www.iph.ras.ru Department for Image Science Danube University Krems, Austria From info at apo33.org Mon Jun 7 12:05:46 2010 From: info at apo33.org (APO33) Date: Mon Jun 7 12:13:04 2010 Subject: [spectre] APO33 - NEWSLETTER JUNE 2010 (ENG) Message-ID: <20100607120546.3304664qft53oe4g@apo33.org> //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Tuesday 15th of June Crealab / Apo33 presents : DORKBOT & BARBECUE ?people doing strange things with electricity? http://dorkbot.org/ please send your proposal to julien@apo33.org 6pm : conferences / presentation / electrical experience (program to come) free entrance ? 6pm - APO33 (17 rue Paul Bellamy) - Nantes/FR http://www.crealab.info http://www.dorkbot.org //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// From 17th to 22nd of June BEYOND SIGNAL # 13 Exhibition with JUNG-OH HONG (Sounth Korea/UK) Multiple Architectural forms, deconstruction, visual installation on transparency and camouflage. http://old.gold.ac.uk/art/exhibitions/mfa2009/pages/joh/01.html Opening Thursday 17 ? 18h- APO33 (17 rue Paul Bellamy Nantes) Exhibition open from Thursday 17th to Saturday 19th and Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd of June from 2pm to 7Pm //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Friday 25th of June BEYOND SIGNAL # 14 tekno, punk, noise, exp?, drum&bass, dubstep, harsh, gabber...etc ROTATOR -(Rennes- Peace off) http://www.myspace.com/mrkillakarotator http://peaceoff.c8.com/ ANDY WEDDHON (Brighton) ? electo break beat electroacoustic http://www.reverbnation.com/andywheddonandfriends SKAT INJECTOR (Londres) ? tekno punk harshcore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae9X_IBTxvE&feature=related LENA (nantes) ? floatingdub http://www.myspace.com/lenafloatingdub JUNKIE KUT (Brighton, UK) - Apocalyptic punk speedcore http://www.myspace.com/junkiekut Kinsheeva (Liverpool, UK) - IDM, Breakcore http://www.myspace.com/kinsheeva Kid Corrupt (Birkenhead, UK) - Tek Hardcore indus http://www.myspace.com/aninspirationforbirthcontrol JOKILLER (londres/Nantes) ? hip hop punk noise http://www.myspace.com/jokillernoise MANTA (Corse) ? mashup gabber deconstruct tek SEMANTIK (Nantes) ? hardtek mental http://www.myspace.com/abruitsecret VJs : Discomolino +++ Au CALYSTO - 7? - 23h?6h 3 rue cale crucy 44100 nantes (Quartier bas-Chantenay) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// from 2nd to 9th of july BEYOND SIGNAL # 15 Exhibition : JULIEN POIDEVIN Sound artist working with devices whom interrogates our relation to the body and territories.

T: 010 - 206 7272 From turbulence at turbulence.org Mon Jun 7 17:21:35 2010 From: turbulence at turbulence.org (Turbulence) Date: Mon Jun 7 17:23:14 2010 Subject: [spectre] Turbulence Commissions: "WWW-Enabled Noise Toy" and "Moments of Inertia" Message-ID: <129A6102-DA9F-4BF4-9495-4DF86D49828C@turbulence.org> June 7, 2010 Turbulence is pleased to announce two new commissions: "WWW-Enabled Noise Toy" by Loud Objects and "Moments of Inertia" by R. Luke DuBois, with Todd Reynolds. "WWW-Enabled Noise Toy" by Loud Objects http://turbulence.org/works/noisetoy Loud Objects, NYC-based circuit sorcerers, present a wacky way to learn hardware audio programming. The "WWW-Enabled Noise Toy" invites anyone with a web browser to write their own audio code, program it remotely onto a Noise Toy, and play it live via webcam. In the spirit of "try it yourself" software demos, the website provides a simple environment for experimenting with low-level microchip-generated audio. Load code from Loud Objects' own library of performance algorithms, hone your own noise techniques, and add your work to the online archive to share it with other microchip coders and create an open source noise community. BIOGRAPHY Graduates of Columbia University, Kunal Gupta, Tristan Perich and Katie Shima have been performing as Loud Objects since 2005. Their performances, focused on sound from programmed microchips, have ranged from live circuit constructions on overhead projectors and slide projectors, to soldering atop a 24-light bulb fluorescent podium, and later with modified fluorescent light guitars. Loud Objects has performed in the USA and internationally at numerous festivals on four continents, including Sonar (Spain), Transitio_MX (Mexico), Piksel (Norway), Evolution (UK), Bent Festival and Blip Festival (NYC), Electric Eclectics (Canada), Screen Music 2 (Italy), Art and Music with the Overhead Projector (Germany), Festival of Endless Gratitude (Denmark), NIME (Brooklyn). Their varied performances range from solo acts to shifting duets with vocalists, drummers, susophonists, tuba quintets, laptop musicians, singers, painting machines, manatees, and recently as movie soundtracks. "Moments of Inertia" by R. Luke DuBois, with Todd Reynolds http://turbulence.org/works/inertia "Moments of Inertia" is an evening-length performance based on a teleological study of gesture in musical performance and how it relates to gesture in intimate social interaction. The work is written for solo violin with real-time computer accompaniment and video. "Moments" consists of twelve violin ?tudes -- ranging from 3-5 minutes in length -- each of which uses a different violin performance gesture as a control input for manipulating a short piece of high-speed film (300 frames-per-second) -- of a person performing a social gesture. Taking its cue from principles in physics that determine an object's resistance to change, the violinist's gestures time-remap and scrub the video clip to explore the intricacies of the performed action. BIOGRAPHY R. Luke DuBois is a composer, artist, and performer who explores the temporal, verbal, and visual structures of cultural and personal ephemera. He holds a doctorate in music composition from Columbia University, and has lectured and taught worldwide on interactive sound and video performance. He has collaborated on interactive performance, installation, and music production work with many artists and organizations including Toni Dove, Matthew Ritchie, Todd Reynolds, Michael Joaquin Grey, Elliott Sharp, Michael Gordon, Bang on a Can, Engine27, Harvestworks, and LEMUR, and was the director of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra for its 2007 season. Exhibitions of his work include: the Insitut Valenci? d?Art Modern, Spain; 2008 Democratic National Convention, Denver; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; San Jose Museum of Art; National Constitution Center, Philadelphia; Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art, Daelim Contemporary Art Museum, Seoul; 2007 Sundance Film Festival; and the Sydney Film Festival. An active visual and musical collaborator, DuBois is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite for the real-time manipulation of matrix data. "Moments of Inertia" is a commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence.org website. It was commissioned through Meet the Composer's Commissioning Music/USA program, which is made possible by the generous support of the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the Ford Foundation, the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Helen F. Whitaker Fund.

The kit will ONLY be available through attending the workshop, it is not sold separately. The Benjolin DIY-kit will be easy enough to build even for a beginner in electronics. After successfully building the instrument, which is guaranteed with the help of Rob and Joker, the workshop participants will take home a versatile and very unique analog synthesizer that can influence the behavior of other voltage-controlled modules through seven different control-voltages. It is also able to receive control-voltages for filter-frequency and both of its oscillators. The Benjolin is a ?noise box? that is ?bent by design?, meaning that it always has a definite amount of unpredictability while it is still intuitive to play. The Benjolin features two eighteen-octave range voltage controlled oscillators that drive a ?rungler? circuit, circuitry that in essence uses a special interference technique feeding back into the oscillators to force them into wild chaotic behaviour. A special slightly chaotic filter is both excited and modulated by the signals from the rungler circuitry processes, producing sounds between fat drones to grungy noise havoc. The kit is somewhat more challenging to build compared to the Zeitgeist, but with a little patience and accuracy a beginner in DIY can definitely build it successfully. http://web.me.com/klangbureau/DIY/Workshop.html Rob Hordijk (The Hague, Netherlands) Originally a sculptor and jewelry designer, Rob has established himself over the years as an expert in sound synthesis techniques. In the last couple of years he specializes in hand-build analog electronic instruments that have distinct sonic signatures, instruments that are somewhere between musical instruments and objets d?art. His instruments are used in live performances by a number of established improvisers all over the planet. An example of an instrument designed by Rob is the Blippoo Box, featured in the upcoming 19th issue of Leonardo Music Journal. Rob has been teaching, lecturing and conducting workshops since 1983 at a number of institutes in The Netherlands, and occasionally in other places on this planet. Joker Nies (Cologne, Germany) He is a musician, sound-designer, sound-engineer, photographer and technical editor for the German Sound&Recording and Keyboards magazines. Recent activities include software synth-design in MAX/MSP for the German Keyboards magazine, and production and sound design for radio-plays for the German WDR radio-broadcast. Joker Nies is known for his energetic improvisations on unusual electronic instruments and re-built electronic toys all over Europe and the US. He has played with many established improvisers and is a.o. part of the trio Die Schrauber. Joker is a leading expert in circuit bending and has conducted many inspiring circuit-bending and DIY workshops in the whole of Europe and the USA. Schedule for Workshop: June 25th 2010 12:00-18:00 (Till the instrument is finished this could take one extra hour depending on the nr. of breaks) Workshop Location: @ NK Elsenstr. 52 2HH 2Etage 12059 Berlin Participation is limited to 15 participants.

This semi-anonymous and semi-autonomic Agency is responsible for anonymization of asylum proceedings, stopping human trafficking, immigration diversion, and for defending against surplus refugees and asylum seekers. The Agency also takes action in the fields of imigration pre-selection (economic refugees, naturalization), secret deportation, migration analysis for national protection as well as in prevention of re-traumatization and the expansion of bureaucratic barriers. The Agency disposes of its own intervention force and employs a private security agency which operates both nationally and internationally. The Defense Agency serves the country's and people's self-protection. Subsequently, the Agency takes part in resolving as well as preventing and/or with/without violence the invasion and the undermining of unwanted immigration subjects and the terror occurred through them and through groups in Austria as well as in their countries of origin (IMMINTEL). The Asylum Defense Agency possesses bureaucratic instruments (administrative ? adjudicative) as well as instruction competence in the executive ministries (deployment force, immigration authorities, military, private security services) as well as an expanded expertise covering affairs such as torture, denial of assistance and homicides. Furthermore there are externally located, secured and anonymous centres for people leaving a country deliberately (service point for expatriation/repatriation - PATSEC, outsourced to the leading oil and building construction corporations OMV and Strabag).

Message-ID: _______________ http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/05/451579.html?c=on#c248510 DEAD FISH AND OIL-DRENCHED BIRDS HANG FROM TURBINE HALL Tate Modern was forced to close down parts of its No Soul For Sale tenth anniversary exhibition on Saturday (15 May) whilst it struggled to remove dozens of dead fish and oil-soaked birds hanging from huge black balloons let loose in the Turbine Hall. LIBERATE TATE COMMUNIQUE #1 MAY 2010 Dear Tate Happy Birthday. We wish we could celebrate with you. But we can?t. As we write, your corporate sponsor BP is creating the largest oil painting in the world, inspired by profit margins and a culture that puts money in front of life, its shadowy stain shimmers across the Gulf of Mexico. A toxic tide that turns thriving ecosystems into deserts and deprives cultures of their way of life, it is one of the world?s greatest works of corporate art, a work that reeks of death and speaks of our society?s failure of imagination. Every day Tate scrubs clean BP?s public image with the detergent of cool progressive culture. But there is nothing innovative or cutting edge about a company that knowingly feeds our addiction to fossil fuels despite a climate crisis, a company whose greed has killed twenty-one employees in just over a year, a company that continues to invest in the cancer-causing climate crimes of tar sands in Alberta, Canada. By placing the words BP and Art together, the destructive and obsolete nature of the fossil fuel industry is masked, and crimes against the future are given a slick and stainless sheen. Every time we step inside the museum Tate makes us complicit with these acts, acts that will one day seem as archaic as the slave trade, as anachronistic as public executions. Every time Nicholas Serota is asked how a museum that prides itself on dealing with climate change can be funded by an oil company he responds that there are no plans to abandon BP sponsorship (anything to do with having an ex-CEO of BP chair Tate?s board of trustees?). When art activist group The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (Labofii) were invited to run a workshop on art and civil disobedience, they were told by curators that they could not take any action against Tate and its sponsors and the workshop was policed by the curators to make sure the artists produced work ?commensurate with the Tate?s mission". In March 2010, Tate Modern ran an eco symposium, ?Rising to the Climate Change Challenge: Artists and Scientists Imagine Tomorrow?s World?, on the same day that Tate Britain was celebrating twenty years of BP sponsorship with one of its ?BP Saturdays? Incensed by this censorship and hypocrisy, participants in the symposium called for a vote: 80% of the audience agreed that BP sponsorship should be dropped by 2012. So today we offer you a birthday present, a gift to liberate Tate from its old-fashioned fossil fuel addiction ? a gift for the future. Beginning during your 10th anniversary party and continuing until you drop the sponsorship deal, we will be commissioning a series of art interventions in Tate buildings across the country. Already commissioned are Art Action collective, with a birthday surprise at this weekend?s No Soul For Sale event, and The Invisible Committee, who will infiltrate every corner of Tate across the country in the coming months. We invite artists to join us and act to liberate Tate. Free art from oil. www.twitter.com/liberatetate _______________ S?amas Cain http://www.saorsainn.net http://alazanto.org/seamascain http://seamascain-writernetwork.org http://www.mnartists.org/Seamas_Cain _______________ From azdelslade at gmail.com Wed Jun 9 02:21:54 2010 From: azdelslade at gmail.com (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?micha_c=E1rdenas?=) Date: Wed Jun 9 02:22:27 2010 Subject: [spectre] Trans Desire, my new book, is out now! Message-ID: After a year of working with my publisher, Atropos press, my book Trans Desire is out! It?s in a book with Barbara Fornssler, which is how Atropos likes to publish shorter works. I?m really ecstatic to have this book finally available to people, and to have gotten such generous reviews from Avital Ronell, Sandy Stone and Diane Davis! I?m so grateful to EGS for supporting their alumni by helping to publish their work. Hopefully this will help me be able to publish my own, longer book soon, which I can?t wait to do. So please, check it out on amazon, buy a copy and leave a comment! Trans Desire / Affective Cyborgs http://www.amazon.com/Trans-Desire-Affective-Cyborgs-C%C3%A1rdenas/dp/0982530994/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275285719&sr=8-1 Trans Desire explores the ramifications of using desire as the basis for contemporary political movements rooted in a struggle for autonomy, from the perspective of a transgender person about to begin hormone replacement therapy. It examines the affinities between psychoanalytic theories of desire, queer theory and biopolitics, using the work of theorists including Avital Ronell, Giorgio Agamben and Judith Butler. Trans Desire proposes that radical queer porn is an example of world building that effectively resists biopower without turning to former movements? demands for rights and legislative reforms. Reviews for Trans Desire Micha C?rdenas takes apart the terms and implicit contract binding the project of ?Master Thesis.? What is it to master an object of inquiry that resists boundary control or conceptual arrest? How does one pursue a thesis when genre and gender assignments are continually destabilized? Situated between soft rant and manifesto, between autobiographeme and scholarship, between single and double authorship, _Trans Desire_ bravely faces down the quirky habits of our bildopedic culture, reformatting the very conditions of institutional submission. - Avital Ronell In this powerful meta-account of transgressive embodiments and desires, C?rdenas enunciates a rousing, theoretically complex and practically explicit politic of resistance which will resonate with scholar and layperson alike. - Allucqu?re Rosanne Stone In Trans Desire, Micha C?rdenas offers a moving and provocative exploration of transgender desire, its limits, and its potential for biopolitical resistance. At an intersection of poetics and theory, C?rdenas embraces a queer ethico-politics devoted to radically challenging not only heteronormativity but the oppressive power of Empire more broadly. - Diane Davis Affective Cyborgs is framed as a necessary departure from Donna Haraway?s cyborg. Appropriated from the complex sexual politics of BDSM culture, the figure of the ?switch? is proposed as a new possibility for conceptualizing agency in our encounters with technology. A doubling of the cyborg body, the switch locates the liminal space in which the binary of dominance and submission may be explored as a contextual and meshed embodiment of contingency, materialized via affective decision. This framing suggests new directions for feminist philosophies of technology.

"Besides the Screen: Moving Images during Distribution, Exhibition and Consumption" 27th November 2010 - Goldsmiths, London New media technologies impact cinema well beyond the screen; they also promote the reorganization of its logic of distribution, modes of consumption and viewing regimes. Once, it was video and television broadcast that disturbed traditional cinematographic experience, revealing the image as soon as it was captured and bringing it into the home of the audience. Nowadays, computer imaging and online networks cause an even stronger effect to the medium, increasing the public agency in the movie market dynamics. In order to understand how these significant changes in the modes of accessing and distributing moving images might affect cinematographic experience, economy and historiography, we are obliged to rethink not only of its future, but its past as well. Besides the Screen is a one-day international symposium that aims to map research projects on new and old forms of moving image distribution, exhibition and consumption. The conference will be hosted in Goldsmiths College (University of London) in November 2010, with the support of the Goldsmiths Graduate School. We invite proposals for paper presentations in the form of 250-word abstracts, to be sent to the email besidesthescreen@gmail.com until June 25th 2010. The list of selected works will be published online at www.besidesthescreen.blogspot.com. Suggested topics / themes: ? ? ? ? Contemporary views of traditional exhibition venues ? ? ? ?

Juni 2010, um 20.00 Uhr er?ffnet Es sprechen: Martin Schumacher, Kulturdezernent der Stadt Oldenburg Sabine Himmelsbach, Leiterin des Edith-Ru?-Hauses f?r Medienkunst Andreas Broeckmann, Co-Kurator, Leiter der ISEA 2010Ruhr Heather Corcoran, Co-Kuratorin, FACT - Foundation for Art and Creative Technology Blogge!, Sei dabei! und Teil dich mit! lauten die Schlagworte einer Medienkultur, in der die Grenzen zwischen Privatem und ?ffentlichem, Pers?nlichem und Politischem aufgehoben sind. Die Ausstellung MyWar: Partizipation in Kriegszeiten bringt die moralischen Implikationen von Kriegen auf den Punkt, die mittels der Medien erlebt werden. Diese Intervention erfolgt anhand einer Medienlandschaft, in der Web 2.0-Instrumente st?ndig die Art und Weise ver?ndern, wie das Publikum und die User Informationen konsumieren und austauschen. Die Ausstellung folgt zwei unterschiedlichen Erz?hlstr?ngen. Im ersten nehmen die K?nstler eine radikal individualistische Haltung gegen?ber dem Krieg ein. Renzo Martens richtet die Kamera inmitten einer Kampfzone auf sich selbst. Sarah Vanagt konzentriert sich auf die Aktivit?ten junger Leute und enth?llen die prosaischen Aspekte des Alltagslebens, von denen die Bloggingkultur besessen ist. Harrell Fletcher l?sst Kinder die Kriegserinnerungen Erwachsener nacherz?hlen, Milica Tomic wirft mit der Dokumentation ihrer Re-enactments von Szenen und Schaupl?tzen des Partisanenkriegs der 1940er die Frage nach der Aneignung solcher Ereignisse auf. SWAMB haben eine Vorrichtung konstruiert, die dem Tr?ger beim Tod jedes Irakkriegsoldaten Schmerz zuf?gt. Dunnes & Rabys (ironische) Pl?schversion der atomaren Wolke soll Therapieobjekt f?r Menschen mit besonderer Angst vor dem Atomkrieg sein. Im zweiten Ausstellungsstrang setzen sich K?nstler direkt mit der Art und Weise auseinander, wie die Webtechnologien globale Kriege infiltriert und beeinflusst haben. Joseph DeLappe gibt in einem Online-Rekrutierungsspiels der amerikanischen Armee die Namen von Irakkriegstoten ein, Thompson & Craighead konstruieren aus Bloginformationen das globale Narrativ eines allgegenw?rtigen Krieges. Oliver Laric zeigt Airbrush-Variationen eines gef?lschten iranischen Fotos eines Raketenabschusses, das im Internet vielfach humorvoll manipuliert wurde. Knowbotic Research bieten ein fiktives Ende einer bewegenden, ?ber YouTube verbreiteten Nachrichtengeschichte, bei der ein junger Pal?stinenser sich in einen Transformer-artigen Roboter verwandelt. Harun Farocki thematisiert die Frage einer computerunterst?tzten Traumatherapie f?r Kriegsveteranen.

Bernd Schurer (CH) My artistic focus lies on the work with sound in a broad spectrum of different contexts: a constant shift, although, mostly investigating the experiential relationship between sound and what one would generally describe as space. There is a strong fascination in the study of the perception of sound and our interpretative patterns, and i have done some artistic "research" in the domains of Psychoacoustics, Architecture, Auralization, Sonification and AudioVisual Representation. Presentations my vary from Computer Music Diffusion to Installation work to abstract Sound Art. Some of it has been exhibited internationally on various scales, from micro galleries to public space, from "art at home" to the Venice Art Biennial. Since 1996 he is co-editor and curator for electronic sound pieces at the domizil.ch imprint in Z?rich, together with Marcus Maeder. Bernd Schurer was born 1970 in Zurich; he studied Philosophy and Film Science with Professor W.

Today's digital technologies have created a new model of understanding different aspects of reality. The change they produced compels us to reconsider the conditioning of our modern lives while their potential demands to be explored. Penetrating and transforming everyday cultural practices and spaces, they are defining our present paradigm. Communication technologies and portable media devices are today omnipresent and are increasingly ubiquitous and personalized. By capturing and transforming the analog signal in digital form, we are today capable to deal with information of all kinds brought to a common denominator. The digitalization allows us to treat and to carry different types of data with the same efficiency, but also to intermingle them. After a period when the attention was focused on the structures of digital, today we are facing a much more general concern related to the possibilities offered by the interposition between analogue and digital data. With the digitalization we assist to a phenomenon of automation which penetrates the very aspects of our lives. Their alliance today with the spectrum of nano- and bio-technologies is about to induce majors changes in the way we deals with matter and identity. If the matematization defined modernity, we also notice today a re-evaluation of phenomenological aspects. What kind of models are we using today in perceiving and understanding our environment? In which way these models are to be found in the technological development? Can the phenomenological approach and description bring light to the study of digital structures? What are the means phenomenology provides for the study of the digital technologies and their implications? Which are the potential and the limits of the phenomenological method in the field? Are there new models that impose themselves in the analysis of our highly technological world? By trying to answer all these questions, we intend to identify the relevance of the phenomenological approach and method in the research of digital technologies. Our goal in this special issue is to bring together papers that explore the different ways in which philosophy, aesthetics, cognitive science and computer sciences can be combined to offer a novel perspective on digital technologies. Prospective authors are encouraged to take into account the following areas: *1. Digital Technology and Common Experience:* digital and new media art imaging and sound technology digital-being virtual and mixed realities augmented reality and augmented virtuality digital fiction and digital reality simulation and interactivity techno- and telepresence portable technology and technosomatics phenomenological exploration of the digital *2. The Process of Digitalization:* data systems and models data structures and databases digitalization and digital literacy digital phenomenon techniques of representation and visualization digitalization and codification of experience codification and automation codification and materialization soft computation philosophy of science and phenomenotechnique The papers and reviews will be selected from the submitted proposals on the basis of double blind peer reviews. Authors should address the papers before September 1st, 2010 and will be notified on the results via email by October 22, 2010. * IMPORTANT DATES: * Deadline for submissions: September 1st, 2010. Notification of acceptance: October 22, 2010. Publication: December 2010 Papers should be written in English, French or German should not exceed 75.000 characters and should be accompanied by a short abstract written in English (maximum 700 characters). Submitted papers should be sent by e-mail to the Editorial Staff: studia@hiphi.ubbcluj.ro in ".doc" or ".rtf" format as attachments only. * INDICATIONS FOR THE AUTHORS* For the submission of the papers, please follows the guidelines specified on the journal's blog: http://studiaphilosophia.wordpress.com/indication/ * JOURNAL PRESENTATION* The series Philosophia of Studia Universitatis Babe? - Bolyai (ISSN 1221-8138) is a peer reviewed journal devoted to promote a high level of academic research in the field of philosophy and related fields; it strives to foster a strong collaboration among senior and junior researchers from Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca and from abroad.

Message-ID: <4C11F15F.7050509@gmail.com> Visitors of all countries play The Celestial Hopscotch while The Volta Show! http://www.voltashow.com/ The Celestial Hopscotch will be streamed on Internet the 16th June there http://aether9.org/ in partnership with Dock18 (*). Direct link http://1904.cc/aether/2010/news/nomadic-streaming-at-art-basel/ The Celestial Hopscotch grid will be drawn on the outskirts of Volta Show in parallel of the International Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland. Another was drawn in Paris on May 19 in rue de l'Exposition (Exposition Street). The last Celestial Hopscotch grid will be drawn before the Marathon of Shanghai is run just before the closing of the 2010 World's Fair, as part of the <> project. Franck Ancel is having an event which will commence a few hours after the official opening of the Shanghai World's Fair. He proposes to each of you to experience a virtual pavilion. This is one year before China launches its uninhabited module "Triangong-1" into space. When translated literally, its name means "Celestial Palace", where the Taikonauts will conduct experiments in zero gravity. Franck Ancel had already brought up this near future in his artistic project <<1957/2007: from Sputnik Satellite to Explorer Art>>. That cosmic dimension is today a major factor in the planetary imagination. In, during a conference he gave in Silicon Valley, he even imagined "A Scenography towards a Planetary Network for Shanghai 2010", also concerned with satellites. (1) Without any satellites, the current conception of the Universal Exposition has transformed the narrow streets of Shanghai, where the universal game of hopscotch (2) had been played by the city's youth for centuries. Now, Ancel will create a Celestial Hopscotch in the zerography of planetary consciousness. At the Universal Exposition of Paris in 1900, Lo?e Fuller danced under the flag of its electricity pavilion. Ancel offers the chance for everyone to design their own virtual Pavilion, to "dance" on the ground of world cities, a hopscotch grid already present on five continents where the land becomes zero and the sky infinite. Franck Ancel previously put continental universality into play in 2005 during his trip from Shanghai to Europe when he created the world premiere, broadcasting a real time video from the air lasting 64 minutes live over the internet via satellite, at more than 900 kilometers per hour and at an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet. 64 words per minute were broadcast in this video in this manifesto in order to construct a personal cosmological lexicon. For this new event, they will make up the eight squares of the Celestial Hopscotch grid, which each can fill in from his own imagination. It is this type of numerological alchemy that will orient our event <> under the dome of the Temple de Pentemont in Paris on June 26, using as its basis an original, as yet unseen, manuscript by Mallarm?.

Partizipation in Kriegszeiten 10. Juni bis 29. August 2010 Die Ausstellung zeigt k?nstlerische Arbeiten zu Repr?sentationen aktueller Kriege in der Medienkultur. Diese fragen nach den (moralischen) Effekten der sich aufl?senden Grenzen zwischen privat und ?ffentlich, pers?nlich und politisch. Individuelle k?nstlerische Auseinandersetzungen mit Kriegsbildern und Kriegserfahrungen stehen dabei ebenso im Fokus wie auch der Einfluss von digitalen Technologien auf die Verbreitung von Kriegsbildern und die aktuelle Kriegspraxis. Der Workshop konzentriert sich auf Geschlechterkonstruktionen, die kulturellen Repr?sentationen und Praktiken eingeschrieben sind. Die Spannbreite der Beitr?ge reicht von analytischen Beschreibungen der Verkn?pfungen kultureller Repr?sentationen etwa in der Kunst und den Massenmedien oder der Filmmusik sowie den Interaktionen zwischen Gedenkpraktiken und filmischen Repr?sentationen. Neben k?nstlerischen Arbeiten zu historischen Antikriegsaktionen und k?nstlerischen Beitr?gen zur aktuellen Ausstellung sind dar?ber hinaus Reflexionen zu Expositionen von Gewalt und deren Verkn?pfung mit Geschlechterbildern in k?nstlerischen Arbeiten, Themen des Workshops.

Art Basel, Art Salon, Hall 1 Auditorium 19 June, 1pm Panelists: Nicolas Bourriaud, curator/writer, Paris Peter Weibel, CEO, ZKM, Karlsruhe Michael Joaquin Grey, artist, New York Since the mid-1990s, new media has become an important force for creative culture and economic development. Supporting institutions including Ars Electronica, ZKM and Eyebeam have expanded, while interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs at the intersections of art, science, and technology have proliferated internationally. Simultaneously, mainstream contemporary art experienced dramatic growth, propelled by the proliferation of venues from Art Basel Miami to the Shanghai Biennial and by the creativity of artists, curators, dealers and pedagogues. Yet rarely do these two artworlds meet. As a result, their discourses have increasingly diverged. To what extent are new media art and mainstream contemporary art commensurable? Is it possible to construct a hybrid discourse that offers insights into each, while enabling greater mixing between them? What roles have educational programs and cultural institutions played in fostering these divides and how can they contribute to suturing them? What insights into larger questions of emerging art and cultural forms might be gleaned by such a rapprochement?

MAL AU PIXEL 5 | YKON GAME ? http://www.malaupixel.org YKON is a non-profit advocacy group for unrepresented nations, experimental countries and utopian thinkers. The disseminiation and production of knowledge on such fragile entities through co-operation between the arts and all other fields of study is a key interest of YKON. Group fusion, curiosity about utopian fantasy productions, and interest in the emergence and drying-up of alternative architectures of society unite its membership. http://www.ykon.org ? YKON-GAME arrives in Paris ! ? We invite you to play a game with us on the 20th june at Eof Galery from 14h to 19h. The YKON Game is a world simulation game for up to 30 players. It's based on a simple thought experiment: imagine that the world is brought to a complete halt. Everything stops. No more business as usual. With the world frozen, you and your fellow players can tinker with it as you please. What will you change? How do you convince others to go along with your changes? And what about the consequences? Through the 1960's, Buckminster Fuller was developing the "World Game". It was to be his masterplan for the planet Earth: a tool that would formulate a comprehensive, design science approach to all the problems of the world. Inspired by the ideas of Fuller, we have developed the YKON Game, a more poetic perspective on the future of our world. Instead solving the problems that we know, The YKON Game seeks to uncover the ideas that we're still missing -- sometimes wonderful, sometimes terrifying thoughts that could forever alter the world, and the way we live in it. For its players, the game poses an existential challenge: they will have to think about what kind of world they truly want. So come and change the world. You don't need to be an expert: everyone is welcome. ? Date and location ? Sunday June 20th 2010, from 2 to 7pm Eof Gallery 15 rue Saint Fiacre - Paris 2 M? Grands Boulevards http://eof5.free.fr/ ? Registration ? Free entrance on registration, contact : info at ykon.org The game is run in English and French. It will be played from 2 to 7, then a debriefing and friendly food & drinks break before the Mal au Pixel opening event. The proposed scenarios will be documented and added to the Ykon Game corpus (already 9 parties so far). We are seeking for different kind of participants: gamers, teenagers, artists, social transformation thinkers and activists, or people curious about it? more infos : http://www.malaupixel.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ?

Le Ykon Game est un jeu de simulation du monde, jusqu?? 30 joueurs. Il prend pour point de d?part une simple exp?rience mentale : imaginons que la plan?te Terre soit amen?e ? se figer. Tout s?arr?te : plus rien ne fonctionne comme avant. Dans un monde ? l??tat d?arr?t, vous et les autres joueurs ?tes libres de le red?finir comme il vous plait. Alors que changerez-vous ? Comment convaincrez-vous les autres de vos changements ? Quelles cons?quences sont induites par votre sc?nario ? Dans les ann?es 60, Buckminster Fuller a d?velopp? le ? World Game ?, qui ?tait son sch?ma directeur pour la plan?te Terre, un outil pens? pour formuler des propositions concr?tes aux probl?mes du monde, de fa?on transversale et prospective. Inspir?s par les id?es de Fuller, nous avons cr?? le Ykon Game dans une approche plus po?tique et cr?ative quant au devenir de notre monde. Plut?t que de r?soudre les probl?mes courants, le Ykon Game cherche ? r?v?ler les id?es qui nous manquent ? parfois merveilleuses et utopiques, aussi bien que terrifiantes et pessimistes ? et qui pourraient bien changer notre avenir et nos fa?ons de vivre. Pour les joueurs, la situation propos?e est d?ordre existentiel : ils doivent imaginer quel monde il veulent vraiment. Alors venez jouer et refaire le monde. Nul besoin d?expert, tout le monde est bienvenu ! ? RSVP ? Le jeu est gratuit sur inscription, contact : info@ykon.org Les intervenants sont de langue anglaise et seront assist?s de francophones. Le jeu se d?roule de 14 ? 19h, suivi d?un pot amical avant la soir?e d?ouverture du festival. Les propositions faites par les participants seront document?es par les membres d?Ykon, afin de compl?ter le corpus du projet (9 parties ont d?j? ?t? jou?es).

This past Thursday at W2, Vancouver's Community Media Arts Society , I had the pleasure to announce, in collaboration with the Mozilla Foundation, the creation and launch of the new 'Open Web Award 2011' - a special third platform for creative excellence alongside the 'transmediale Award 2011' and the 'Vil?m Flusser Theory Award 2011'. The 'Open Web Award' is a new platform aimed at highlighting and promoting radical, creative and innovative art works and projects that: - are on the web and about the web - use open source, free, libre or other non-proprietary technology (may they be soft- or hardware) - incite participation and/or collaboration They can be critical, celebratory or both. Projects should have the potential to demonstrate and/or objectively critique the potential of open web issues, and those employing the creative use of HTML5 and other developing 'open' technologies will be given specific consideration. The point is to play with both the idea and materiality of the (open) web in ways that spark new thinking and practice. The winner(s) of the 'Open Web Award 2011' will receive a total prize of 5000 EUR, and be given the opportunity to have 'supported' status on Drumbeat . Beyond the specific 'Open Web Award' criteria, the same rules, conditions and application procedures apply as the 'transmediale Award 2011' The Deadline for Entries to the transmediale 'Open Web Award 2011' is also July 31, 2010 (2400 CEST / UST+2)! Apologies if you've already received this information via other channels, but we urge to pass this info along to get the strongest, sharpest and most thought provoking submissions and proposals! greetings, Stephen Kovats *we invite you to subscribe to transmediale's newsletter at , join the transmediale facebook group or fan page, or follow us on twitter* artistic director -------------------------------------------------------- transmediale.11 | 1 - 6 feb 2011 festival for art and digital culture berlin Call for Entries Open! transmediale Award 2011 Vil?m Flusser Theory Award 2011 *new* transmediale Open Web Award 2011 Deadline for all awards: July 31, 2010 http://www.transmediale.de/en/awards2011 -------------------------------------------------------- klosterstr. 68 - 10179 berlin - germany fon +49 30 24749 761 fax +49 30 24749 763 http://www.transmediale.de http://twitter.com/transmediale facebook: transmediale #tm11 kulturprojekte berlin gmbh aufsichtsratsvorsitzender volker heller gesch?ftsf?hrer moritz van d?lmen amtsgericht berlin charlottenburg, HRB 41312 B -------------------------------------------------------- From matze.schmidt at n0name.de Sun Jun 13 13:47:47 2010 From: matze.schmidt at n0name.de (Matze Schmidt) Date: Sun Jun 13 13:46:52 2010 Subject: [spectre] Vuvuzela-EX (R) Message-ID: <9013460154.20100613134747@n0name.de> . . ... .. . ... ... .. .. . .... . . . ... .. ..... . ... ..... ... . . . . ... . .. . . ... .. ... ... .

Featuring SFZero, Atmosphere Industries, The Crux Club, Opt-in Productions, Berlin Invisible Playground & Hakim Bey and more... "Not long ago, urban games were a kind of novelty. Some grew out of the street performance tradition of live theater. Some came from gamers who were involved in tabletop RPG and wanted to experiment with live reenactment. Others were produced by media artists as a way of experimenting with new technologies like GPS and text messaging. But along with these approaches to play, and at times learning from their carefree attitude towards entertainment, there grew another tradition of the urban game, a tradition of using the city focusing on exploration, and as a specific kind of critique." http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=399 ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4C16027E.3090602@furtherfield.org> Sorry for any cross posting... .re_potemkin - Battleship Potemkin. Review by Rob Myers. .re_potemkin is a crowdsourced re-make of the film "Battleship Potemkin". It is a ".f.reeP_" project by .-_-., part of a series of projects that embrace the ideology and means of production of contemporary media and technoculture in order to make art. From December 2006 to January 2007 .-_-. worked with 15 groups of students from Yildiz Technical University to reproduce Battleship Potemkin on a shot-by-shot basis. Not all shots were reproduced, there are empty black sections in the new film. The students and the setting of the university and its surrounds are very different from the locations and actors of Battleship Potemkin. .re_potemkin is a non-profit project rather than a corporation, and as such it has adopted a GNU or Wikipedia-style copyleft licence. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=400 ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

And yes, swarms win and make all faces equal. Anyhow some of them produce their very own sound in the stadiums. This communistic expression of life sucks. But vuvuzela.org fails. No democratic reasoning will help. Fanfares are permanently disturbing the cup. And as we all know John Cage was wrong. We can't give back the voice to the peoples. Vuvuzelas kill!

Vuvuzela-EX NEU Zu Woznickis Begrifflichkeiten von Informationsueberflutung etc. 2. Rezension von Sabine Nuss. _Copyright & Copyriot_ 44 21 KB, ca. xx DIN A4-Seiten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Vuvuzela-EX NEU Zu Woznickis Begrifflichkeiten von Informationsueberflutung etc. > http://berlinergazette.de/vuvuzela-rassismus-fussball-wm Krystian Woznicki faengt erst stringent* an, belegt und verteilt die "Diskussions"-Punkte der Aversionen gegen den Vuvuzela-Noise, begreift aber das 'Wesentliche' nicht und dreht dann gegen Ende seines Artikels wieder den Infofilter-Hahn auf, also die Technoloesung, die das Gerede, das massenhafte (Ueberflutung) steuern helfen soll. Das ist der altbekannte Schritt von der Oekonomie- zur Kulturtheorie der Maschine mit materialistischem Grundrauschen (sic!). Remember Kittler, der schon ca. 1998 professoral vor der exklusiv ueberteuerten Silicon Graphics sagte, dass Netze ja Scheisse seien (Eine von mir geliebte Anekdote). Weil da ja offenbar nur Gerede sei? Die Hochkulturgezuechteten brauchen den Generaldirektor Adolf Grimme-Preis fuer die Selbstvergewisserung eigener Kulturmacht, die nun ausgesetzt wird mit dem Krach der primitiven, vom Billigplastik-Horn Verfuehrten. Die importierte Trompete sei unauthentisch und nicht mehr echt exotisch. Musikalischen Kriterienverfechtern der buergerlichen westlichen Hochkunst, inklusive des dt. Expressionismus nach afrikanischer Kunst, ist das immer nur dasselbe, nur Laerm. Es gibt keine Hoehepunkte, keine Struktur mehr. Was echt und gut und schoen sei, weisz auch und vor allem der, der kein "Freund dieser Troete" ist. Der individuelle Geschmack zaehlt also wieder, weil das aesthetisch vernuenftig ist. Das kann man gut mit dem Grundsatz der Gruenen assoziieren, deren Vernunft auch alles bestens reguliert, bekanntlich bis hin zum Angriffskrieg fuer Bionade. Diderichsens altes Diktum, wenn jedes Fussballspiel gleich klinge, handele es sich num relevante neue Musik, ist hier natuerlich verfehlt. Da es der Sound der Zehntausenden ist, des Publikums, das willfaehrig mit ihrem Fantum wenigstens im audiblen Spektrum definiert, was im Stadion abgeht. Man darf nur Stadion nicht mit Spiel verwechseln, welches ja nur noch der gelieferte Sport zum Umsatz ist, also die Ware zum Tausch darstellt. Das Fussballpiel ist insofern falsches Spiel, da Gewinn und Verlieren im Rahmen der je zugeordneten Landesinteressen liegen und selbstredend im Rahmen der Interessen dieses Weltfussballverbandes. Aber diese Definition des Klangraums geschieht quasi anarchisch und wurde auch anarchisch in allen Nationalfarben kolonialistisch angeheizt, ethnizistisch propagiert und wird nun obrigkeitststaatlich wieder verboten. Jede Kreissaege, das wissen die Neubauten in der Post-Hornbachmoderne am besten, ist im Kontext der Symbolisierung eben gerade nicht die Kreissaege auf der Strasse. Der Gestus, das industrielle Leben selbst laermen und krachen (einstuerzen) zu lassen ist laengst abgeloest vom Kunst-Klang der kaufbaren Reflektion ueber diese Vergangenheit also das Scheitern der Wahrheit ueber die adaequate Musik fuer die Fruehinformationsgesellschaft. Aber der Reihe nach. Nimmt man z.B. die alte Widerspiegelungstheorie, dann waere der ungerichtete Sound aus den Vuvuzelas zunaechst einmal der einer ungerichteten Vielheit, die dennoch scheinbar willfaehrig das Spektakel der sogenannten Weltmeisterschaft beschallt und also affirmativ untermalt. Anarchisch wie der Markt nunmal ist, wurde aber den Leuten das Ding auch hier in der BRD fuer 1,30 verkauft und ist in Bayern oder auf der Fanmaile Deiner Wahl mittlerweile verboten. Wer dort nicht oeffentlich Fan ist, sondern kritisch Private Viewing macht, sich also abhebt, wird nun irgendein Skript anwenden sollen, das den Krach draussen haelt. Neben dem ganzen Cultur-Clash ist das mindestens eine doppelte, ja dreifache Enteignung und zeigt den Irrsinn der Industrie ueberhaupt klar und deutlich an: Kauf den Scheiss, konsumiere ihn aber nicht. Oder: Eigne Dir ein Instrument/Medium an, aber setze es nicht ein. Weder die Libido der Grossveranstaltungsgaenger ist damit frei, noch die ausgenutzte ersatzreligioese Begeisterung, noch der bewusztlose Klang des vielleicht Gemeinsamen (Bienensummen) gehoert den Statisten der WM. Alles ist restringiert aber spielt Satisfaction. Das perfekte Abbild der in der soziologisch in sogenannter Konsumgesellschaft gefangenen Enteignung der Produktivitaet der Menge (Toni Negristisch) oder Masse (Marxistisch). Denn produziert haben die Hoerner welche, die sich das auch kaufen (3fache Enteignung). Wenn also jemandem der Nerv geraubt oder getoetet wird, ist das nicht der Diebstahl der interessant ist. Der liegt in der Wegnahme der Kette der Herstellung des Dings, seiner immateriellen Qualitaeten und der Arbeits- und "Freizeit", die dafuer verbraucht wird. Den richtigen Filter zu liefern und zu finden ist demnach blosze Nationaloekonomie, beinhahe a la Jacques Attali's Buch _Noise_, der alles hoerbar Revolutionaere (vernuenftig?) in unterschiedslos neuen Ordnungen verortet wissen will. Die Oekonomie der Nationen -- worin das hochgeruestete und verschuldete Suedafrika bekommt, was es verdient. Den Krach, der die Stimme des Einzelnen zwar erklingen laesst, diese aber zur abstrakten Un-Artikulation eines Furz draengt (nichts gegen "Noise", I'm lovin' it), die aufgeht in der allzu bunten Masse, die jedoch nicht ornamental genug, nicht gerade genug ist. Also genau nicht faschistische und kontrollierbare wirklich massierbare Masse ist. Was die Kommentatoren, unsere Stimme im TV, wieder mit ihren Zuschauern hoeren wollen, ist der Heideggersche "Mercedes im unmittelbaren Unterschied zum Adler-Wagen". Unordnung war schon immer gefaehrlich. Was also verteidigt werden muss gegen die _Ausrichter_ und _Schalter_ (elektr. Filter sind nichts anderes) des un-artifiziellen Noise, ist die Unbaendigkeit, die darin -- romantisch ausgedrueckt -- aufklingt, ohne dem darauf projizierten Free Jazz und dem zigsten Geraeusch Musik-Pop zu folgen. Auf einen einfachen Punkt gebracht kann man sagen: Nutzer der Vuvuzela agieren mit Mitteln des Marketing in ihr gegen diese und Filter-Fans wollen in Ruhe konsumieren, wofuer sie bezahlt haben. Und zuallerletzt noch etwas pietaet- und respektlos namegedroppt und instrumentalisiert: May Ayim haette beim Hass gegen die Praxis des Troetens vielleicht (nur vielleicht!) erzaehlt, dass sie als Kind das schwarze Teufelchen spielte/spielen musste.

"Die Kirchenv?ter lehnten den Gedanken ab, dass die urspr?ngliche G?tergemeinschaft historisch gewesen sein soll (vor allem zu nennen ist hier Ambrosius 339 - 397). Vielmehr handle es sich dabei um ein naturrechtliches" ...Anschlusstelle "Gebot, insofern versto?e Privateigentum gegen das Naturrecht und die (von Ci-cero begr?ndete) occupatio sei widerrechtlich. Occupatio sei vielmehr als Usurpatio verurteilt und versto?e gegen Gottes Willen. Auch die derivativen Erwerbstitel (Kauf, Tausch usw.) seien ungerechtfertigt, weil sie auf der urspr?nglichen Usurpatio beruhten. Individuelles Eigentum erscheint in den ?lteren Schriften der Kirche stets als Unrecht.20 Alles geh?re Gott, wobei er die G?termenge den Menschen zum ?Nie?brauch" ?berlassen habe. Die Kirche selbst sah sich mit dieser Haltung allerdings vor Probleme gestellt, da sie mit der Transformation des Christentums in eine ?Staats"religion immer mehr materielle G?ter anh?ufte und so zum gr??-ten Grundbesitzer im mittelalterlichen Europa wurde. P?pste und Bisch?fe wuss-ten den Luxus zu sch?tzen, was nicht ohne Einfluss auf ihre Haltung zu Reichtum blieb. Vor diesem Hintergrund gab es nur zwei Wege, diesen Widerspruch zu l?-sen: Entweder man verwarf den Gedanken einer urspr?nglichen G?tergemeinschaft als natur- und gottgegeben, oder man fand Wege, individuelles Eigentum doch zu legitimieren. Dies leistete Thomas von Aquin. Er rehabilitierte die r?mische Okkupationstheorie, die von der Kirche abgelehnt worden war (vgl. Brocker 1992: 41 ff.) und zwar mittels wiederum antiken Gedankenguts, der Schriften von Aristoteles. Thomas f?hrt die aristotelischen Argumente f?r individuellen Besitz in die Diskussion ein, wonach jeder mehr Sorgfalt auf das verwende, was ihm allein geh?rt, als auf das, was allen geh?rt. Au?erdem w?rde es ?zu einer gro?en Confusion" f?hren, wenn jeder ohne Unterschied f?r alles M?gliche zu sorgen h?tte. Eine Aufteilung in individuellen Besitz f?hre dagegen zu einer eindeutigen Zuordnung von Kompetenzen, Aufgaben und Verantwortlichkeiten. Weiterhin werde mit ei-ner solchen ?Privateigentumsordnung" die friedliche Verfassung der Menschen besser bewahrt, wenn jeder mit seinen eigenen Sache befasst sei: ?Die proprietas bedeutet also die positive Verwirklichung des prim?ren Naturrechts ge-m?? dem ius gentium. Der ordo aller Dinge verlangt, da? jedes Ding der F?rsorge eines __________ 20 So hei?t es bei Chrysostomos: ?Sage mir, woher stammt dein Reichtum? Du verdankst ihn einem anderen. Und dieser andere, wem verdankt der ihm? Seinem Gro?vater sagt man, seinem Vater. Wirst du nun im Stammbaum zur?ckgehend, den Beweis liefern k?nnen, da? dieser Besitz auf gerechtem Wege erworben ist? Das kannst du nicht. Im Gegenteil, der Anfang, die Wurzel desselben liegt notwendigerweise in irgendeinem Unrecht. Warum? Weil Gott von Anfang an nicht den einen reich, den anderen arm erschaffen (...) hat" (zit. nach Farner 1974: 70). Dass es trotzdem individuelles Eigen-tum gibt, wurde von vielen Kirchenv?tern als Folge des S?ndenfalls interpretiert (Farn-er 1974: 92), man musste es somit zwar hinnehmen, doch war ihm der Gemeinbesitz als Ideal vorzuziehen und den Reichen war die starke Pflicht auferlegt, den Armen zu helfen (die geradezu ein Recht auf diese Hilfe hatten). Umberto Eco f?hrt die verschie-denen Positionen plastisch vor in seinem Roman ?Der Name der Rose" (Eco 1986: 432ff.) 150 Eigent?mers untersteht. Hinsichtlich des Gebrauchs freilich hat der einzelne die Dinge weitgehend `als gemeinsame' zu halten" (Betz, et al. 1999: 367). Wie bei Aristoteles bedeutet ?Privateigentum" hier im Grunde die individuelle Bewirtschaftung und Verwaltung der ?u?eren Dinge, um sie dann gemeinsam zu nutzen: ?Die Verteilung und Aneignung der Dinge, die nach menschlichem Recht vor sich geht, hindert nicht, da? der Not des Menschen durch eben diese Dinge begegnet werden muss" (Aquin um 1270, 1933: 522). Es w?re daher verfehlt, Aquin f?r einen ?Wegbereiter des modernen Kapitalismus (...) zu halten" (Troxler 1973: 49). Es ging Thomas nicht darum nachzuweisen, dass der Einzelne ein Recht auf individuelles Eigentum haben solle, es ging ihm vielmehr darum, ?unter Wahrung der Gedanken der christlichen Tradition die Angemessenheit und auch Notwendigkeit einer sozialen Ordnung zu zeigen, in welcher eine Aufteilung in Privatbe-sitz vorgenommen wird. Thomas mu?te vom Sozialen her kommen. Er konnte seinen Ausgangspunkt nicht im Individualen suchen, wie wir dies heute tun." (Utz, in: Aquin um 1270, 1933: 515 421 6.6 Ans?tze einer Theorie vorkapitalistischer Eigentumsformen bei Marx In den ?Grundrissen" im Abschnitt ?Formen, die der kapitalistischen Produktion vorhergehn" untersucht Marx die verschiedenen vorb?rgerlichen Eigentums-verh?ltnisse. Sein dort entwickeltes Modell zur Erkl?rung dieser Eigentums-beziehungen ist kein ausgearbeitetes Konzept, dennoch werden Umrisse einer Theorie zur Analyse vorkapitalistischer Eigentumsverh?ltnisse deutlich. Marx ver-wendet hier einen sehr weiten Eigentumsbegriff, der auf Umfassenderes abzielt als auf einen reinen Habens-Zustand oder auf das Verteilen bereits hergestellter Pro-dukte. Eigentum ist nicht reduziert auf ein abstraktes Prinzip, demzufolge jemand Verf?gungsgewalt ?ber eine Sache hat, und es ist auch nicht einfach eine rechtlich kodifizierte Zuordnung von Sachen zu Personen. Vielmehr ist Eigentum die An- eignung von Natur durch den Menschen, mit dem Zweck seiner Reproduktion. __________ 21 In der modernen, b?rgerlichen ?konomischen Theorie wird Privateigentum nicht unter dem Aspekt der sozialen Gerechtigkeit favorisiert, sondern unter dem der wirtschaftli-chen Effizienz, Privateigentum f?hre zu einer Steigerung des Outputs (wobei dies dann das Mittel der Wohlstandssteigerung sein soll). Eine Denkform, die jener des Mittelal-ters fremd war: Hier war das Nehmen des einen immer ein Weg-Nehmen des anderen. Daher m?ssen diejenigen, die besitzen, die anderen mitversorgen: ?Dies sei gerechtfer- tigt, weil die G?ter der Erde begrenzt und unvermehrbar seien und der ?berflu? der einen notwendig den Mangel der anderen herbeif?hren m?sse: Der ?berm??ige Reich-tum der einen sei ohne Armut anderer nicht m?glich" (Brocker 1992: 45). Der Wachs- tumsgedanke war dem mittelalterlichen Denken fremd. 151" In dieser Gerechtigkeit im Haushalten des Beschraenkten treffen sich die Christlichen, heimlich Christlichen und unwissend Christlichen mit den Globalisierungsgegnern und den globalisierungskritischen Professoren. Die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich muesse aufgehoben werden, Armut muessen zur Geschichte als Vergangenheit gemacht werden indem man den Ausgleich schafft also den Armen vom Reichtum abgiebt. "Eigentum ist damit ein Prozess des Stoffwechsels zwischen Mensch und Natur. Dieser Stoffwechsel vollzieht sich mit Hilfe von drei Elementen: Die Natur ist das Rohmaterial, die Instrumente der Bearbeitung der Natur sind die Arbeitsinstrumente, und die Ergebnisse der Bearbeitung von Natur schlie?lich sind die Fr?chte, die Mittel der Reproduktion. Diese drei Elemente sind die objektiven Bedingungen der Produktion und die Art und Weise, wie sich die Individuen zu diesen Bedin-gungen verhalten, beschreibt historisch die je unterschiedlichen Eigentumsverh?lt-nisse.22 Angesichts der Vorstellung von einem Zustand, in dem die Menschen die Fr?chte der Natur noch so zu sich nahmen, wie sie die Erde geliefert hat, ohne vorherige Bearbeitung durch irgendwelche Instrumente, fragt Marx, wieso er Ei-gentum dann auf Produktionsmittel reduzieren w?rde und eben nicht auf die Bedingungen der Konsumtion, wenn doch ?urspr?nglich das Produzieren des Individuums sich auf das Reproduzieren seines eigenen Leibs durch Aneignen fer-tiger, von der Natur selbst f?r den Konsum zubereiteter Gegenst?nde beschr?nkt?" (Marx 1857/58, 1953: 392). Diese Zeit, in welcher der Mensch sich ern?hrt von dem, was die Natur bereits fertig liefert, ist allerdings so gut wie nie geschichtliche Wirklichkeit gewesen.23 Die Reproduktion der Menschen, der Stoffwechsel zwi-schen Mensch und Natur ist damit immer Produktion und Konsumtion, nicht nur Konsumtion, diese ist vielmehr der Produktion nachgeordnet. Eine weitere Bedingung der Produktion neben den drei den Stoffwechsel ausmachenden Ele-menten Rohstoff, Arbeitsinstrument und Fr?chte der Arbeit ist die Zugeh?rigkeit des Individuums zu einem Stamm oder Gemeinwesen. Der Zugang zur Natur, die Aneignung, kann nicht von einem isoliert und vereinzelt aufwachsenden Men-schen vollbracht werden, es ist daher mit dem Eigentum wie mit der Sprache: ?In Bezug auf den Einzelnen ist z.B. klar, da? er selbst zur Sprache als seiner eigenen sich nur verh?lt als nat?rliches Mitglied eines menschlichen Gemeinwesens. Sprache als das Produkt eines Einzelnen ist ein Unding. Aber ebenso sehr ist es (das) Eigentum" (Marx 1857/58, 1953: 390). Hier kommt zum Ausdruck, dass Eigentum stets ein soziales Verh?ltnis darstellt, also ein Verh?ltnis zwischen Menschen bez?glich etwas Drittem und nicht ein Verh?ltnis zwischen Mensch und Objekt (s.o.). Das urspr?ngliche Eigentum nun __________ 22 ?Die fundamentale Bedeutung der Eigentumsverh?ltnisse f?r die gesellschaftliche Ent-wicklung besteht also darin, da? sie die Menschen als Produktivkraftsubjekte zueinander in Beziehung setzen und bestimmen, wer (welche Masse, Schicht oder Gruppe) sich welche der produzierten gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungsm?glichkeiten aneignen kann" (Brie 1990: 32). 23 ?Selbst wo nur noch zu finden ist und zu entdecken, erfordert dies bald Anstrengung, Arbeit - wie in Jagd, Fischfang, Hirtenwesen - und Produktion (i.e. Entwicklung) ge-wisser F?higkeiten auf seiten des Subjekts." (Marx 1857/58, 1953: 392). 152" Susi Meyer/Ali Emas ======================================================================== Sie erhalten den n0name newsletter, weil sie da sind!/You get the n0name newsletter, because you are there! *Bitte weiterleiten!/Please forward!* Archiv: http://www.n0name.de/newsletr.html (c) 1999-2010 n0name, die Autorinnen & Autoren und die Maschinen Unterstuetzt von XPECT MEDIA http://www.xpect-media.de Sponsored by FONDS Dank an >top e.V. ------------------- Ende des n0name newsletter #147 -------------------- -- GRATIS f?r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

Temporal Stability Points" will look at biotechnologies as means for artistic expression as well as challenge to the constantly changing materiality in arts. Festival programme will take place in collaboration with the 6th European meeting of the Society for Literature, Science and the Arts (SLSAeu 2010 conference), which is devoted to exploring materials, structures, surfaces and interfaces transformed by the networked media. http://www.e-text-textiles.lv/SLSAeu2010/home.htm * exhibition The exhibition "TRANSBIOTICS" will be held June 15 - 20 in kim? / RIXC gallery spaces in Spikeri (new location for contemporary arts exhibitions in Riga). American artist Paul Vanouse is participating with his installations "Latent Figure Protocol" and "Relative Velocity Inscription Device" where he using the human DNA as material for creating art. London based Latvian artists Zane Berzina together with architect Jackson Tan and an international group of scientists have created an interactive installation "E-Static Shadows" - a touch-sensitive "sculpture" exploring static electricity. British artist Andy Gracie with his installation "Deep Data" interprets experiments with bacteria performed in deep space environments. And Finnish artist Terike Haapoja (whose work "Entropy" was exhibited at kim?/ RIXC Gallery last year) will this year present her recent works "Dialogue" and "Succession", which explores interaction between human and non-human organisms. The exhibition will be supplemented by "Transbiotics" public lectures in Spikeri, taking place on June 16 and June 17, 2010, where one of the exhibition curators - Jens Hauser and philosopher Ainars Kamolins, will introduce biotechnology art as new materiality of textures, and exhibition artists will talk will talk about how they interpret this notion through their works. * performances On Thursday, June 17 at 18.00 in RIXC Media Space sound art performance and exhibition opening ?Concord" by Latvian media artist Voldemars Johansons will take place. And on Friday, June 18 at 21.00 in RIXC Media Space the special festival evening event will feature live performance and video programme: J?rgen Reble and Thomas K?ner will present their live performance "Materia Obscura" - an audio visual expedition into crystallized salts and dyes changing rhythm and structure constantly between moving images and opening a door to the dark and unperceivable material of our universe. The performance "Mucilaginous Omniverse" by Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand will present artistic experiments with sonicated bouncing silicone oil droplets. Meanwhile a movie "Planet A" by French artist Momoko Seto invites into a world of salt crystal formations which are slowly taking over the land by turning it into a physically beautiful but dried out saline desert? * SLSAeu conference During June 15 to 19, 2010, as a Day Programme, SLSAeu 2010 conference ?Textures" will take place in Stocholm School of Economics in Riga. The SLSAeu 2010 conference is dedicated to exploring fabrics, structures, surfaces, and interfaces in a world that has been transformed to a large extent through technoscience and networked media. This transformed world is highly textured, partly through verbal and non-verbal 'texts' but also by mixtures of human-made and given environments whose complexity offers resistance to symbolic readings. Along the other conference streams - "Textuality and Materiality", "Architextures", "Biopalimpsests", "Tissue Cultures", two streams - ?Networks and Sustainability" (chaired by Armin Medosch and Rasa Smite) and ?Art as Research" (chaired by Kerstin May and Rasa Smite) wil be co-organized by RIXC and MPLab (Art Research Laboratory) of Liepaja University. "Network and Sustainability" stream interrogates the complex relationships between "network technology" and " network society", in order to reveal the multilayered texture of networks and to consider what potential network culture contains for sustainable development in technological, social and cultural fields. ?Art as Research" stream is challenging the conventional notion of the role of art - by affirming that the art produce knowledge, and that the art can be scientific research approach, it claim the right for arts, to being an alternative form of knowledge and research on a par with other sciences. http://rixc.lv/10/lv/konference.html http://www.e-text-textiles.lv/SLSAeu2010/streams.htm * biotech workshop At a close of the festival, on Saturday, June 19 at Faculty of Biology, University of Latvia the biotechnology workshop ?Tissue Engineering and Art" will be conducted by artists and directors of Australian Bioart Laboratory "SymbioticA" - Oron Catts and dr.

Nameless, without age and descent and dwelling in this vague anonymity, they seem to honour "The Death of the Author" as emblematically as it has already been postulated, long ago, in the context of literary theory. However, even if the biography - in theory - might have disengaged from the meaning of the work, the literature- and the art scene symbolically and actually focus on the individual. Institutions which adjust their program to the market according to significant stages in the life of their protagonists, but also debates around copyrights and copyright licenses directly refer to the irrevocable relevance of the biography in a "regime of biographism and narcism, service processuality and authenticity" - the curriculum as measure of all art production? Starting from the idea of a "modern scriptor" who is "born simultaneously with the text" - as introduced by literary criticism - the exhibition UNTITLED (THE AUTHOR ENTITLES TEXTS BY EXPERIMENTING WITH ART.) questions an art market-driven orientation towards subject and biography as meaningful criteria in the valuation of art. The foremost language- and text-based artworks in the exhibition reflect the role of the artist-subject in the production- and reception aesthetics-based discourse in the current socio-political context and with respect to the interpretation practice in the exhibition space. --- --- --- --- --- OHNE TITEL (DER/DIE AUTORiN TITULIERT TEXTE DURCH EINE VERSUCHSWEISE KUNST.) http://cont3xt.net/blog/?p=3043 Ort/Dauer: Kunstverein Medienturm, Graz/Oesterreich, http://medienturm.at, 18.

Diedrich Diederichsen Pseudonyme, Avatare und Kunstfiguren - Inkognito und koerperlos-fluechtig praesentieren sich AutorInnen in Blogs und Online-Foren und nutzen diese als Schlupfwinkel in einer immer transparenter werdenden Welt. Namenlos, ohne Alter und Herkunft, scheinen sie in dieser vagen Anonymitaet den "Tod des Autors" aehnlich emblematisch einzuloesen, wie dieser im literaturtheoretischen Kontext schon vor langem postuliert wurde. Doch selbst wenn sich die Biografie - im Theoretischen - von der Werkbedeutung geloest haben mag, richtet sowohl der Literatur- als auch der Kunstbetrieb den Fokus symbolisch wie faktisch weiterhin auf die Einzelperson. Institutionen, die ihr Programm marktkonform nach signifikanten Stationen im Leben ihrer ProtagonistInnen ausrichten aber auch Debatten um Urheberrechte und Copyright-Lizenzen verweisen direkt auf die unumstoessliche Relevanz des Lebenslaufs in einem "Regime von Biographismus und Narzissmus, Dienstleistungs-Prozessualismus und Service-Authentizitaet" - das Curriculum als Mass jeglicher Kunstproduktion? Ausgehend von der in der Literaturkritik begruendeten Idee eines "modernen Schreibers", der "im selben Moment wie sein Text geboren" wird, hinterfragt die Ausstellung OHNE TITEL (DER/DIE AUTORiN TITULIERT TEXTE DURCH EINE VERSUCHSWEISE KUNST.) eine vom Kunstmarkt forcierte Orientierung an Subjekt und Lebenslauf als bedeutungsstiftende Kriterien in der Bewertung von Kunst. Die vornehmlich sprach- und textbasierten Kunstwerke der Ausstellung reflektieren die Rolle des KuenstlerInnen-Subjekts sowohl im produktions- als auch im rezeptionsaesthetischen Diskurs, im aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Kontext sowie im Hinblick auf die Interpretationsprozesse im Ausstellungsraum. --- --- --- --- --- This is a newsletter by CONT3XT.NET (ZVR: 999765999, Vienna/Austria).

Message-ID: Visitors of all countries play The Celestial Hopscotch while The Volta Show! http://www.voltashow.com/ The Celestial Hopscotch will be streaming today on Internet at 6pm there http://aether9.org/ in partnership with Dock18 (*). Direct link http://1904.cc/aether/2010/news/nomadic-streaming-at-art-basel/ Facebook event http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=100175690028339 The Celestial Hopscotch grid will be drawn on the outskirts of Volta Show in parallel of the International Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland. Another was drawn in Paris on May 19 in rue de l'Exposition (Exposition Street). The last Celestial Hopscotch grid will be drawn before the Marathon of Shanghai is run just before the closing of the 2010 World's Fair, as part of the Global Poetic System project. Franck Ancel is having an event which will commence a few hours after the official opening of the Shanghai World's Fair. He proposes to each of you to experience a virtual pavilion. This is one year before China launches its uninhabited module "Triangong-1" into space. When translated literally, its name means "Celestial Palace", where the Taikonauts will conduct experiments in zero gravity. Franck Ancel had already brought up this near future in his artistic project <<1957/2007: from Sputnik Satellite to Explorer Art>>. That cosmic dimension is today a major factor in the planetary imagination. In, during a conference he gave in Silicon Valley, he even imagined "A Scenography towards a Planetary Network for Shanghai 2010", also concerned with satellites. (1) Without any satellites, the current conception of the Universal Exposition has transformed the narrow streets of Shanghai, where the universal game of hopscotch (2) had been played by the city's youth for centuries. Now, Ancel will create a Celestial Hopscotch in the zerography of planetary consciousness. At the Universal Exposition of Paris in 1900, Lo?e Fuller danced under the flag of its electricity pavilion. Ancel offers the chance for everyone to design their own virtual Pavilion, to "dance" on the ground of world cities, a hopscotch grid already present on five continents where the land becomes zero and the sky infinite. Franck Ancel previously put continental universality into play in 2005 during his trip from Shanghai to Europe when he created the world premiere, broadcasting a real time video from the air lasting 64 minutes live over the internet via satellite, at more than 900 kilometers per hour and at an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet. 64 words per minute were broadcast in this video in this manifesto in order to construct a personal cosmological lexicon. For this new event, they will make up the eight squares of the Celestial Hopscotch grid, which each can fill in from his own imagination. It is this type of numerological alchemy that will orient our event from Zero to Infinity under the dome of the Temple de Pentemont in Paris on June 26, using as its basis an original, as yet unseen, manuscript by Mallarm?. Contact Franck Ancel E ancelfranck@gmail.com M +33 676 470 610 Franck Ancel is Zerographer.

Update on Furtherfield's broadcasts on Resonance FM. We have finished an extremely enjoyable, informative and challengiing season of broadcasts on Resonance FM, and are now having a break until September 2010. But, don't expect us to slacken our passion in connecting with others. During this break-time, we will be recording interviews and preparing new programmes. In fact, we've already started. The first season has already produced a rich and accessible archive (for download) of intelligent, 'live' radio based conversations and debate around Art, Technology and Social Change. Offering a valuable resource for all who are interested in furthering their knowledge of the wider context of a thriving media arts culture and varied related practices. We aim to change art and culture, by making the creative noise that we are proudly part of more visible to a larger audience, whilst maintaining its critical contexts at the same time. http://www.furtherfield.org/resonancefm.php Guests featured on the Programmes so far are: Danja Vasiliev - computer artist, hacker. James Wallbank & Steve Withington - Access Space. Lottie Child - founder of Street Training. Dougald Hine & Pete Gravell - Space Makers Agency. Pete Gomes - artist, film Director. Thomson & Craighead - networked arts, media artists. Corrado Morgana - Games theorist, gamer & researcher. Stewart Home - artist, anti-artist, cultural activist.

Who to expect in the next broadcasts from September: Heath Bunting, Arts Catalyst, Jeremy Bailey, igloo, Deckspace/Deptford.tv, Class Wargames, Ellie Harrison, Avatar Body Collision, The NeoFuturist Collective, ambienttv, Proboscis and more... This regular live show highlights current activity and controversies around contemporary practices in art, technology and social change, discussing events, exhibitions, debates and their social contexts with all manner of player and participant. Features include lively debate and interviews with artists, techies, writers and curators, interspersed with bleeding-edge music, some from Furthernoise.org, and a rolling programme of experimental creative adventures for your amusement. This programme is part of 'Hyperlink: Media Art Contexts' whose principal aim is to present and promote high-quality contemporary media art work, alongside critical discussion of past, present and future media art in a contemporary art context. --------more info---------> About Furtherfield.org Furtherfield.org believes that through creative and critical engagement with practices in art and technology people are inspired and enabled to become active co-creators of their cultures and societies.

These are zones of contemporary geopolitical conflict and at the same time potential spaces for transnational and intercultural cooperation and collaboration. The exhibition Arctic Perspective documents the development of a mobile work and habitation system which can be used for nomadic dwelling, environmental monitoring and media based work ?on the land?, away from the established Arctic settlements as well as its connection to traditional knowledge and culture. The exhibition focuses on the notions of architecture, geopolitics, autonomy, technology, and landscape, while featuring other positive, northern initiatives and projects that reflect these notions and values of API.

Die Ausstellung Arctic Perspective dokumentiert die Entwicklung einer mobilen Wohn- und Arbeitsstation, die f?r nomadische Nutzung, zur Messung von Umweltdaten und f?r medienbasierte Arbeit ?on the land? eingesetzt werden kann, weit weg von den festen arktischen Siedlungen. Gleichzeitig reflektiert die Ausstellung ?ber die Beziehungen zu traditionellem Wissen und Kultur der Inuit.

Intro The development and use of new technologies happens at an increasingly rapid pace, and bio technology, nano technology and new communications- and computer technologies entails examples of new tools for artists, tools that can open new worlds of ideas, as well as making previously not manageable ideas realizable . New scientific insights often implies philosophical and existential problems and questions. Artistic and scientific research are continuously part of challenging and changing our perspectives. The artist as a directly and an indirectly conveyor and interpreter of new knowledge and research, plays an important role for society?s ability to have a proper insight and an adequate discourse regarding the use of new technologies and knowledge. ????????????????????

Short biography of principal author: Abstract (minimum 500 words): From turbulence at turbulence.org Thu Jun 17 17:06:24 2010 From: turbulence at turbulence.org (Turbulence) Date: Thu Jun 17 17:07:06 2010 Subject: [spectre] Turbulence Commissions: "Journal of Journal Performance Studies" and "I am unable to tell you" Message-ID: <94C1CF41-4DBD-4EDB-B44C-2FE05AC2D47E@turbulence.org> June 17, 2010 Turbulence is pleased to announce two new commissions: "Journal of Journal Performance Studies" by Nicholas Knouf and "I am unable to tell you" by Benjamin Dean. "Journal of Journal Performance Studies" by Nicholas Knouf http://turbulence.org/Works/JJPS/ "Journal of Journal Performance Studies" (JJPS) is a series of three interrelated works that engage with academic publishing. The project consists of a Firefox extension, an online radio, and a journal. The JJPS Firefox Extension overlays bibliometric data, graphs of journal ownership, and journal cost onto publisher websites. The extension also replaces advertisements on scholarly sites to provide a glimpse into the future of scholarly distribution. JJPS Radio is designed as a fully-automated internet radio station, presenting recitations of articles in our database of hundreds, translations of texts into sound, and news and views important for the study of journal performance. JJPS Radio suggests not only new methods for the dispersion of academic work, but also re-purposes academic texts as its source material. The Journal is an experiment in the propagation of scholarly work. The hope is that the journal will develop into an ongoing project on the limits of contemporary intellectual representation. BIOGRAPHY Nicholas Knouf works in the interstitial spaces of digital art, sound, information science, and science and technology studies. Recent projects have been featured in international exhibitions such as "Esse, nosse, posse: Common Wealth for Common People" at the National Museum for Contemporary Art in Athens, Greece (2010) and electro_online (2009). Past and current work has been recognized by a number awards, including an Honorary Mention by Prix Ars Electronica in [the next idea] category (2005), the Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS) for his master's thesis (2008), a memefest Award of Distinction (2008), and a special transmediale "Online Highlight" (2009). Additionally, his work has been discussed in print and online media, including ID Magazine, the Boston Globe, CNN, Slashdot, Afterimage, and networked: a (networked_book) about (networked_art). More information can be seen at his website, http:// zeitkunst.org. "I am unable to tell you" by Benjamin Dean http://turbulence.org/works/unable/UnableToTellYou.html "I am unable to tell you" is an experiment in collective solipsism. It's about leaving your fingerprints on the glass you were trying to clean. It's only someone else's experience. It's about the closure property of sets. It's just the referents. It's depth-first search. It's about being face to face. It's about not talking. It's turtles all the way down. BIOGRAPHY Ben Dean makes many different things for many different reasons. He considers art a form of experimentation, believes science to be a way of discovering beauty, and thinks engineering is just plain fun. Ben was educated at Yale University, and lives in Brooklyn. He is always interested in collaboration, and would love to hear from you.

Media Forum is the most avant-garde program at the Moscow Film Festival, and is dedicated to new and experimental forms of screen culture. It presents the audience with a certain alternative to the traditional cinema art, or probably demonstrates tendencies for the recent cinema development, the new opportunities that artists have already mastered and the filmmakers examine keenly. If this is indeed the Media Forum*s mission at the Moscow Film Festival, then it requests a far greater variety of events and formats that can be provided by ordinary movie theaters. And thus the 32nd festival guests will be able to visit exhibitions and workshops, media art parties at a club and live media performances * all that is new and cutting-edge in contemporary art. The most important events of this year Media Forum program: The Transitland project * retrospective of video art from Central and Eastern Europe spanning from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the present day Central and Eastern Europe - a common information space, recovering from common historical turmoil in the 80s and 90s, at the same time this part of Europe is represented by very different countries with their own destinies and traditions. Each lived with an eye to the global context and used artistic techniques to investigate and re-form their own national identity. What we all have in common? What makes us different? Thus the project was initiated by the leading centers of modern art in several countries, former comrades in the Iron curtain: InterSpace Modern Art Center (Sofia, Bulgaria), the famous Transmediale festival for art and digital culture (Berlin, Germany) and Ludwig Museum of Modern Art (Budapest, Hungary). From numerous entries an international jury selected a hundred of the most brilliant * video quintessence of ideas, opinions, cultural and social events, which showed the era from 1989 to 2009. In Media Forum there will be events in various formats for this project. For those who like to browse leisurely through artworks returning to see missed parts or favorites again, there will be an exhibition at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. Those who prefer movie theatres will be able to attend screenings at the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. The whole program is divided into three thematic video selections, which will be shown separately. Those who appreciate personal conversations with the artists will enjoy the workshops of Anri Sala, Milica Tomic and Egon Bunne. The panel discussion will bring together critics and art historians, who won*t miss the opportunity to express their opinions about video art after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Gary Hill - one of the most renowned American video artists Gary Hill*s place in the pantheon of contemporary video art is attested to by his many awards and exhibitions * a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1995; participation at the Documenta IX in Kassel; solo exhibitions at MOMA in New York; frequent participation at biennales at the Whitney Museum; exhibitions at the Pompidou Centre in Paris; and many other prestigious awards and grants. Gary Hill is one of the pillars who shaped the video-art of today as we know it. The main theme of Hill*s oeuvre is researching the relationship between word, sound, and the electronic image. In essence, Hill*s work is based on structural analysis and deals with the problems of the essence of text. Nevertheless, text is mostly dealt with in a post-modern way, as a way to depict the surrounding world. The video image separates the subject reality into its semantic and material components. Hill shows the divergence between the spoken word, the visible subject and the present reality of this subject, which actually has little in common, and are tied together only in human consciousness.The formal perfection of his complex multichannel video installations speaks about the author*s research in the figurative world of the visible subject environment and its conflict with human communications. GMG Gallery will show Hill*s most significant works, which were chosen mostly because of their educational use for the Moscow public. Legendary Net-artists Jodi The Netherlands artists duo JODI (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans) who are in fact the pioneers of net art * i.e art created in the World Wide Web - will appear at the Media Forum. The audience of Media Forum will discover that net art is not limited to the window of their favorite browser only, it sometimes goes off-line, for example, to a nightclub where the performance aspect is quite obvious. That*s why Jodi are planning to present a live performance The Folksomy at Solyanka Club. The materials they use are amateur videos from YouTube.com. Millions of users affectionately make, edit and upload their videos to the network; these files are mostly of meaningless quality, with rare splashes of really good work. Jodi state that when mixing them in a live multimedia performance they explore love and hate relationships between users and new technologies and, at the same time, they find out the means by which the system works. Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans will screen their classical works during their master-class at the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. Best Media Art Festivals` Video Programs Media Forum presents a series of media art parties - an opportunity to get to know the best works from world famous media festivals Transmediale, PIKSEL, Japan Media Arts Festival and PRIX Ars Electronica in a club atmosphere. Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design and Solyanka are welcoming aesthetes and intellectualls. PIKSEL Festival director Gisle Fr?ysland, Ars Electronica curator Bianca Petsher and Transmediale curator Markus Huber will present a selection of the best recent festival projects and would talk about multimedia art today, its asessment, comprehension and understanding and how the highest-level media art festivals are organized.

Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom. by Ellie Harrison From September 2008 - June 2010, Ellie Harrison undertook a Leverhulme Scholarship on the Master of Fine Art programme at Glasgow School of Art. The thesis published forms one of the major outcomes of her research during this period. This is part one of four weekly articles to be published on Furtherfield. Part 1, here: http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=393 How Can We Continue Making Art? - which questions whether there is a place for art in a world which is fast approaching environmental catastrophe, and Altermoderism: The Age of Stupid (http://tinyurl.com/32a3wr7) published on Furtherfield (26/8/09) - which uses Nicolas Bourriaud's Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain in 2009 as a paradigm for exploring the art world institution's lack of acknowledgement and action over climate change. Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom, addresses the ethical implications of continuing to choose the career of artist in the twenty-first century. It is a manifesto of sorts, written from the personal perspective of a young UK-based artist looking to identify worthwhile reasons for continuing down this 'self-interested' path, given that the future we are likely to face as a result of climate change, is so different from how we dreamt our careers might pan out whilst growing up under Thatcher and New Labour. It explores how we should aim to evolve our roles as artists, in light of this, and what form a new 'reconciled practice' might take. ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

The 'anti-crisis' decree which aims to stifle public research would a huge damage to the country. It wants to shut down several research institutions whose activities have an important role in the development of knowledge within the economic and social spheres. Despite, questionably, saving us money, such an operation would deprive us of those instruments of knowledge and technical support to those policies which are fundamental to the support of the people, especially in a time of crisis such as this one. The impact of "manoeuvre anti-crisis" on our future is therefore clear: it would silence the free, authoritative and independent voice which, in its most acute moment of the current international economic crisis, could help revive the Country, telling what happens..."

Message-ID: On-line seminar Plagues, Monsters and Chimeras: Art and Life Sciences. Lecturers: Pau Alsina, Monica Bello, Jens Hauser, Raquel Renno. This course examines the relationship between art and life sciences through the fantasies associated with the dreams of transforming or modifying nature and the living, specifically through the fear of plagues, the fascination with the creation of monsters or the endeavour to conjure up chimeras. If the history of humankind is dotted with references to plagues, monsters and chimeras in the popular imaginary, at the current moment in time we find a growing number of artists using plants, cells, genes and other biological materials in and for their creations. Practitioners creating eco-installations in the environment and alterations in the landscape to remind us of the importance of our surrounding environment. From a humanist approach, they all contribute to the key issues of recent decades, such as how we construct ourselves as subjects in our techno-scientific society. Art has always played a hinge role in the change of perception of our environment. Art?s relationship with science leads to practices looking to impinge on the social, ethical and epistemological domains of contemporaneity. Nowadays, divesting life sciences of their practical function and recontextualising them in aesthetic forms, we are exploring the frontiers between nature and art.

I'm not interested in Music at all here (although I love it/need it) but in the political functionalities of Sound. Music understood as sub-category of sound. Some call music organized sound. The sound of the 'Vuvu-people' is not organized (not in a de-centralized way, not in a centralized way) but driven by the productive appropriation of a cheap plastic mass product in a context of gathering. That's the state of the art in Cultural Studies (not my 'knowledge'). Of course this understanding is a shortened one. As I said, it's not Cagean stuff, what would form a school, but Cage's doings that are crucial. So, the masses in the stadium are not only making the WC more interesting. Their symbolic product (the sound, this post-colonial folkloric ethnic loaded thing) is used to make the WC the commodity these working people and esp. the working people in the west pay for. At the same time they consume and generate this commodity. They are not the assholes, they are driven and product for their part. I don't believe in boycotts, you can't boycott capitalism, only a single ware against another ware. So the Vuvuzela-Sound is not bad or good, it is the sign of what's happening. But this ain't bread and circuses for the plebs but the context of surplus value (value added by workers in their free time) etc. Forget music as Music and Cage as music-maker against the noise. 4"33 could be interpreted as a reactionary but dialectic try to forget about music to re-invent it at the same time. That is what so called sound ecologists are trying to overcome: Oh, let's forget about the elitist modern art shit and their problems with the real. Let's make the real with the better sound with filters and great new buildings in the stinking city and then get back to our un-noisy village. With and against cage one must point out what's the case. 'We' are not the real receivers of our products (voice, noise, sound, plastic horns, etc.), we have to be exploited for it, isolated but in patches.

Introduction: The Artvertiser is an Improved Reality platform, designed for the live substitution of advertisements in a video stream with alternative 2D content. The code was initially developed by Julian Oliver before being significantly improved by Damian Stewart. A typical application of The Artvertiser at work might be the Product Replacement of street billboards with 2D art using a laptop with webcam or camera-enabled mobile device. You might also want to have your own personal exhibition in the Louvre, substituting well known paintings with your own creations and inviting others to enjoy the show. Counter-propaganda operations are also well suited to the platform, like changing the imagery of a disliked political campaigner before uploading the recorded result for all to see. Alternatively, it can be used to product replace planar images in archival video, like a HollyWood movie or TV advert, using popular films as an 'exhibition surface'. You can see a couple of examples of The Artvertiser at work using our own specially crafted digital binoculars, The Billboard Interception Unit, on the project website: http://theartvertiser.com The Code: The entire project tree exists as a git repository, cloned like so on your local system: git clone git://repo.or.cz/The-Artvertiser.git The code should currently build on any modern Linux-based OS with the addition of a couple of dependencies and - thanks to Damian - should also compile on OS X with the correct prior tweaks in place. See the README file in the top-level directory for more information. A special 'mob' user has been set up allowing complete Read/Write access for anyone at all. Once you've cloned the repository as above, just: git checkout mob .. to move to the mob branch. It's all yours! We look forward to your improvements, forks, derivations and vandalisms. Happy (urban) hacking!

[Plastik Art&Science] http://art-science.univ-paris1.fr/ Art that is created out of the living world (bio-art, body-art, environmental art...) is today commonly directed by a desire that one could define using the prefix: "trans-". One is of course immediately reminded of the transgenic, and Eduardo KAC's research, for example, on the genetic marker Lucifrase which he transmits to mice, or his creation, Edunia, a petunia carrying fragments of his own DNA. One is also reminded of transmutation, and the doll's clothes made out of animal skin cultures by the SymbioticA group. Or of transgression in relation to contemporary ethics, which could apply to the two preceding examples, but also to more performatives experiments, such as Blue by Yann Marussich, a performance in which, installed in an airtight box, he sweats blue methylene from every pore of his skin, when the substance is declared dangerous if ingested even by the manufacturer. The preoccupation with transmission is also omnipresent in artistic practices involving the living, as one can see in works such as The cosmopolitan chicken project by Koen Vanmechelen, in which the artist is attempting to produce a genetically universal hen by marrying hens of different origin each season in order to obtain, within a few decades, the absolute mixed race hen. And certainly, such considerations also remind us of the question of transversality and transdisciplinarity, processes which these artists inevitably touch upon as they work towards their goal: a comprehension that differs from the living world in its analysis that is jointly artistic and scientific. In fact, we are obliged to note that the artists who are interested in the living world are increasingly distancing themselves from the notion of the reproducibility of reality to experiment with the transformation of this world. This type of art seems to seek a way of going beyond the criteria of representation, and perhaps even of the design of the living world, through an almost necessarily experimental confrontation with reality, which is why we have decided to use the prefix "trans" here: "beyond", "through". The question almost immediately arises on the definition of the artist as auto-experimenter. Up to what point might he or she be ready to experiment on the living and on his or herself in particular in order to succeed in going beyond a new frontier of artistic representation? We would like to present a reflexion on the performative dimension of this type of art. In the search for a form of transformer art related to the living world, it seems indeed essential that we question the creator's position, as he or she is perpetually obliged to reconsider his or her experience, in order to allow the spectator to apprehend a world living itself in the process of transformation. How does the artist therefore plan to address the spectator in an artwork on the living that he or she is the first living being to test? Is the spectator's comprehension of an artwork increased or decreased by the experimentation? Does the spectator feel mobilized by such procedures? Many questions aimed at suggesting the state of the analysis of the contemporary living world by artists, whose experiments reach sometimes improbable dimensions, and can remain at the project stage. This is why we want to insist on the prospective dimension, which leaves enough room for fiction and research, in this call for projects.

We are also interested in people who understand and know software art, social networks, live net art, live Internet tv, open source, tactical media, art blogs, net films, media art connected- self institutions, psychogeography, critical games, media art related exhibitions online and in spaces, and related conferences. As a reviewer you will be asked to select from these works and contribute to the context of what is being created and write about its relevance. You will also have the option of seeking out and writing about other works that you personally think should be seen on Furtherfield. If you possess knowledge and enthusiasm for any of these subjects, are able to write and communicate clearly;-) and are interested in being part of a explorative group, that is growing daily as an adventurous, networked and mult-platformed community in its own right, consisting of over 26,000 subscribers.

Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom Part 2. by Ellie Harrison From September 2008 - June 2010, Ellie Harrison undertook a Leverhulme Scholarship on the Master of Fine Art programme at Glasgow School of Art. The thesis published forms one of the major outcomes of her research during this period. This is part 2, of four weekly articles to be published on Furtherfield. Part 2, here: http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=394 How Can We Continue Making Art? - questions whether there is a place for art in a world which is fast approaching environmental catastrophe, and Altermoderism: The Age of Stupid (http://tinyurl.com/32a3wr7) published on Furtherfield (26/8/09) - which uses Nicolas Bourriaud's Altermodern exhibition at Tate Britain in 2009 as a paradigm for exploring the art world institution's lack of acknowledgement and action over climate change. Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom, addresses the ethical implications of continuing to choose the career of an artist in the twenty-first century. It is a manifesto of sorts, written from the personal perspective of a young UK-based artist looking to identify worthwhile reasons for continuing down this 'self-interested' path, given that the future we are likely to face as a result of climate change, is so different from how we dreamt our careers might pan out whilst growing up under Thatcher and New Labour. It explores how we should aim to evolve our roles as artists, in light of this, and what form a new 'reconciled practice' might take. ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood...

The Memorial presentation is reminiscent of the small private museum and employs the language of display to create symbiotic dialogues through the relational placement of the works. A complex display case has been constructed so as to elevate the importance and meanings of the beloved objects and gently navigate the viewers experience of the gallery space. The Memorial retells the stories behind the objects that we keep to evoke memory of the deceased, how these objects maintain ongoing relationship with the dead, and how these material possessions remain important in memory making. Each object has been documented and texts collected from the holder about their object to create a catalogue of texts that caption the objects personal meanings in a zine. Zine also features writers Morgan Fayle, David Luker and Ruth Learner and artist Marina Lutz. best wishes Melinda Melinda Rackham melinda@subtle.net From kovats at transmediale.de Fri Jun 25 12:34:59 2010 From: kovats at transmediale.de (stephen kovats) Date: Fri Jun 25 12:35:31 2010 Subject: [spectre] Collaborative Futures book sprint - 2nd edition underway today! Message-ID: <230663A1-1ABF-4CA5-8ED4-7379247B44EB@transmediale.de> Dear Spectrites, the 2nd edition of the Collaborative Futures book sprint is now on! The project, initiated at transmediale.10 in Berlin and led by Floss Manual's Adam Hyde, is currently being hosted by Eyebeam.org in New York, where the next book in the series will be produced at the end of the day today, Friday, June 25th. The original authors together with three new people are in lock-down in Berlin and New York to produce the second edition of the same book. They will be joined by additional guests and contributors who will drop in or contribute remotely on the Booki.cc website. * They meet every morning at 9:30am and will write until the sun or their minds set (the later of the two). * They will use the Booki.cc online software to write, edit and collaborate. * They will edit the existing work, possibly even replacing full chapters. * They will write new chapters to extend, complement and possibly contradict the existing ones. * They will eat and drink in the space and will have dinners together on the three days. * They will argue and fight against each other and against the paradigms of this collaborative effort and its tendency to subsume our conflicting voices. http://eyebeam.org/events/collaborative-futures-2nd-edition-book-sprint To help writing and editing the book register and contribute through: http://www.booki.cc/collaborativefutures/edit/ Copies of the 1st edition of 'Collaborative Futures' are still available in hard copy through info [at] transmediale.de http://www.transmediale.de/en/collaborative-futures greetings, Stephen artistic director -------------------------------------------------------- transmediale.11 | 1 - 6 feb 2011 festival for art and digital culture berlin Call for Entries Open! transmediale Award 2011 Vil?m Flusser Theory Award 2011 *new* transmediale Open Web Award 2011 Deadline for all awards: July 31, 2010 http://www.transmediale.de/en/awards2011 -------------------------------------------------------- klosterstr. 68 - 10179 berlin - germany fon +49 30 24749 761 fax +49 30 24749 763 http://www.transmediale.de http://twitter.com/transmediale facebook: transmediale kulturprojekte berlin gmbh aufsichtsratsvorsitzender volker heller gesch?ftsf?hrer moritz van d?lmen amtsgericht berlin charlottenburg, HRB 41312 B -------------------------------------------------------- From a.ludovico at neural.it Fri Jun 25 15:54:12 2010 From: a.ludovico at neural.it (Alessandro Ludovico) Date: Fri Jun 25 15:54:50 2010 Subject: [spectre] new Neural issue #36, Time Deceptions Message-ID: The new Neural issue is out, with exclusive stuff for subscribers.

Please check: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ausreihe-presents-electronic-music-concert-04/ Bernd Schurer (CH) My artistic focus lies on the work with sound in a broad spectrum of different contexts: a constant shift, although, mostly investigating the experiential relationship between sound and what one would generally describe as space. There is a strong fascination in the study of the perception of sound and our interpretative patterns, and i have done some artistic "research" in the domains of Psychoacoustics, Architecture, Auralization, Sonification and AudioVisual Representation. Presentations my vary from Computer Music Diffusion to Installation work to abstract Sound Art. Some of it has been exhibited internationally on various scales, from micro galleries to public space, from "art at home" to the Venice Art Biennial. Since 1996 he is co-editor and curator for electronic sound pieces at the domizil.ch imprint in Z?rich, together with Marcus Maeder. Bernd Schurer was born 1970 in Zurich; he studied Philosophy and Film Science with Professor W. Schobinger at the University of Zurich in 1993 and Visual Art at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts 1998. He currently is a Master Student with Professors Germ?n Toro- Per?s and Martin Neukom of Electroacoustic Composition and Theory / Media-technology at the Z?rich University of the Arts (ZHdK). He lives in Z?rich and Berlin. http://heterophenomenological.net/ http://www.domizil.ch/ Daisuke Ishida (JP) Daisuke Ishida is a Berlin based artist working with sound and contemporary media.

Our first Monthly Talk is by artists/filmmakers, semiconductor. I really hope to see you here. Best wishes, Honor Harger Director Lighthouse http://www.lighthouse.org.uk -------------------------------------------------------- Semiconductor Talk at Lighthouse Thursday 1 July 2010 6.30pm: Doors & Bar 7.00pm: talk begins At: Lighthouse, 28 Kensington St, Brighton BN1 4AJ Entry: ?3 This summer, Lighthouse is launching a Monthly Talks Programme. Talks will be held on the first Thursday of each month, and will feature key national and international figures within moving image and digital art. We are thrilled that the inaugural monthly talk will be given by filmmakers, Semiconductor. Semiconductor are Brighton-based artists and filmmakers, Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt. For over a decade Semiconductor have worked with video, sound and digital animation to explore our relationship to scientific knowledge. Following their residency at NASA's Space Sciences Laboratory in California, semiconductor created a remarkable body of work, including the films Magnetic Movie (2007) and Brilliant Noise (2006) which confirmed their reputation as one of the most influential contemporary artist-groups working with moving image. At Lighthouse, Semiconductor will discuss their recent experiences in the Galapagos Islands. Their participation in the Gulbenkian Galapagos Artists' Residency enabled semiconductor to begin a new body of work, entitled Worlds in the Making, which explores the formation of landscape through volcanic activity and mineral formation. The talk marks Semiconductor's last public appearance in Brighton before beginning an Artists Research Fellowship at the Smithsonian later this year. More: http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/whatson/monthlytalkjuly.htm http://www.semiconductorfilms.com/ Future talks will critically examine issues within moving image practice and theory, and will give audiences an opportunity to engage with some of the most vibrant figures within both the film and arts sectors.

Themes on and about the complex mesh of relations between biospheres, climatic science, environmental politics, globalization, culture and art form the point of departure for mindthestorm.org?s continuously accumulating archive of image and textual documentation. Processuality constitutes the focal point of mindthestorm.org. The archive is neither hierarchically structured, nor does it follow a defined order. The structure emerges through the quality of the contributions, their continuity, their quantity and tagging; the information structure which undergoes permanent renewal is represented by swarms. Users of mindthestorm.org store the images and textual documents relating to their research or their actions in a common databank. The data are tagged when entered and subsequently set in relation to one another editorially and by the participants themselves. A tool is thus produced, which automatically and by way of the text proposes relations to other, already existing documents. These proposals can then either be confirmed or rejected. Swarms are visualized by this mesh of relations, which persistently form themselves anew with each subsequent entry. At this level, participants may interactively position the documents within the swarms, whereby the representation signifies a communication of all entries. Ultimately, what emerges from this is the possibility to record and represent both the subjective explanatory space of each respective participant as well as to assess the latter?s entry in its connection to other such entries, such that multiple swarm images may then be generated. Each of these representations stands in a relation of reciprocal influence, and leads to an unguided, dynamic revaluation of the swarms. This revaluation, though editorially accompanied by selected partners, is not directly influenced. The descriptions accompanying these are located on a separate level as a complement to the above-described representation of the swarm intelligence. In this sense, mindthestorm.org is a collaborative, multi-user social network ? as far as possible, an open platform. The immanent obstacles of Internet as a medium such as spam inhibit the possibility of the real-time visualization of the processes in the archive and hence make an editorial intermediate step necessary. The use of the platform however is designed as a simply as possible so as to guarantee the continual expansion of the content by third parties. The objective of Mindthestorm would be to generate by means of audio-visual media that which apparently cannot be mediated ? the shift from nature to climate ? into a kind of web-archipelago, populated by swarms that converge in a biosphere. This would run counter to the way the current planetary crisis of global warming elicits a variety of responses ranging from the exercise of societal self-delusion, declarations of the commitment to sustainability, to total indifference ? to a playing field for curators as a fashionable arena for topical shows, to denial, disconnection, precipitation of the sense of the present and to a dis- envisaging of the future. We cannot but function within complex systems such as nature, within whose limits and laws we interact and in whose nomos we immanently and manifestly move: together with its perceived 'recorded' transformations, mindthestorm interdigitates itself by means of swarms with that other, elementary natural science poised as it is in a 'Copernican leap' through experimental physics and mathematical universal formulas, anomy of predictions and controls out of non-manifest structures that characterize the climatic turn. Our experience shows that these systems are intrinsically irregular, are exposed to the unforeseen and that which cannot be assessed. Not only are they subject to irregularity, but they actively create it in their search for certainty and in their need to control. Uncertainty is the constituent data of living systems. Mindthestorm, a new creative reflexity (meta-observation) aims to integrate the arts, sciences, politics, and feelings and to reach a higher level of evolution. This leads to an augmented reality, a new world appearance delivered over / under - determined masses of membrane worlds, in copies of a divided cosmos or stray quests for meaning in a world of enhanced attentiveness, but also to an acknowledgement of the recognizable and the unrecognizable. Jumping out of the climate boomerang trespassing biological borders / frames, as also referred to by Peter Weibel in the postscript to Boris Groys' book, Die Kunst des Denkens [The Art of Thought], we read: 'Society suppresses not only unacceptable desires, but also unacceptable information. There is knowledge in our society that suppresses itself. Appearing in the guise of art, this socially unconscious, this suppressed knowledge can again return to consciousness and to reality.' ? In particular, this socially unconscious, this suppressed knowledge can return to consciousness and reality in a web-archipelago. Mindthestorm opens up what has until now remained concealed from view, the significance of which is not occupation, but an enhanced perception of significant phenomena in an entangled biosphere. It does this by way of the formation of swarms composed of a vast and, we hope, soon unlimited and self-organized collection of pictures, data, sound, etc., whereby each squib gushes over in a relation of reciprocity: a collection of nested shells of biosphere matter. Perhaps, it was this that impressed itself on Jeremy Rifkin, and that presented him with the idea of mindthestorm when dancing on the floor of a Roman Hotel located close to Via Veneto: the sense of freedom, of swarming. When mindthestorm jumps out of the World Wide Web it would seem as if this collective intelligence could be more empathic than he ever imagined in his book 'Empathy': he wrote "a new way of jamming in the Third Millennium". Perhaps, we could re-enact in our minds the experience of the past, able we are as "weumans" to experience ourselves as a species. Yet climate turn poses for us a question of a human collectivity pointing to a figure of the universal that escapes our capacity to experience the world. Mindthestorm removes the separation posed by those rights that have been in existence since the Enlightenment to celebrate our freedom without any awareness of the geological agency human beings were gaining, and ushered in this new geological time-interval called the anthropocene. The frame of reference is the discussion in the context of public conferences about the meaning of the swarms between natural scientists, environmental activists, peace movements, as well as 'observers' in the broadest sense of the term, and territorial entities such as the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the ZKM, the PIK, Universit? la Sapienza, AVAAZ, 350. org, AdK Berlin. We would like to invite all of these organizations to interact with us in a call for interdisciplinary discussions: deep records and deep histories of human beings open to new experiences - to fight back for the future. Much like the swarm itself, the user of the platform can himself become an actor by indexing the 'squibs' with the alternating 'keywords' as derived from the discussions, creating and generating swarms in ascending complexity and, we hope, enhanced consciousness. http://www.mindthestorm.org Mindthestorm is on facebook: http://facebook.mindthestorm.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
