From communicate at anat.org.au Wed Sep 1 02:35:34 2010 From: communicate at anat.org.au (Amanda Matulick) Date: Wed Sep 1 02:36:17 2010 Subject: [spectre] Dome Lab: Application deadline THIS Friday 3 September 2010 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: DOME LAB 2010 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS CLOSE FRIDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 2010 Fulldome and other 'frameless' screens provide what filmmakers dream about - an audience so immersed they become part of the story, an experience so seamless that the story transcends its mode of delivery. WHEN 31 October - 5 November 2010 :: Perth, Australia. WHAT The emergence of destination cinema? and the proliferation of large-format screens in public spaces present a challenge - and opportunity - to filmmakers and artists working in more traditional screen formats. At the very least a new cinematic language is required, one taking account of the audience's very different experience of stories presented on frameless? screens. Fulldome, with its hemispherical screens and surround-sound, is an accessible and powerful test-bed enabling filmmakers and artists to experiment with and develop this new language. WHY Reflecting its provenance, most fulldome content to date has been educational and comprised of computer-generated animation, data visualistion, or a combination of both. Now, however, there is a shifting focus, with producers turning their sights to the entertainment potential of live-action story-telling for large-formats such as fulldome. Dome Lab is a world-leading intensive workshop investigating this potential and the specific challenges involved in creating compelling live-action narrative content for large format and frameless screens. Participants will work alongside a team of creative and technical luminaries including Academy-Award winner, Ben Shedd, 2010 Peter Rasmussen award-winner, Peter Morse and international fulldome pioneer, Hue Walker Bumgarner-Kirby. WHO Filmmakers and artists excited by the chance to leap beyond the frame and into the expansive creative potential of large-format, immersive screen experiences are invited to apply. Applicants must have a minimum of three years professional experience in their field (except for SDA Scholarship applicants - see guidelines for details). Selection will be based on skill-set, with a view to putting together four to five small production teams. Accordingly, applicants from the full production chain, including writers, directors, camera and audio operators, editors, and designers are encouraged to apply. HOW Deadline for applications is 5pm CST, Friday 3 September 2010.

Talks will be in english language After the first session the 2nd session will dedicate itself to ?Sonic Archeology?. Abstract Shintaro Miyazaki: [Trans]-Sonic Archeology of Computational Assemblages On 27th of Sept. 2007 a secret 1972 paper from the National Security Agency?s in-house journal Cryptologic Spectrum with the title ?TEMPEST: A Signal Problem? was declassified. ?To state the general problem in brief: Any time a machine is used to process classified information electrically, the various switches, contacts, relays, and other components in that machine may emit radio frequency or acoustic energy.? Trans-sonic archeology as a method of a sonic theory can be useful for understanding our everyday informational devices, which store, transmit and manipulate information. Two opposed methods are suggested by the contributor. Firstly a hardware based and secondly a software based method for investigating important affective, tactile, mental and rhythmical effects of those technologies. Both methods will be explained shortly after introducing to the audience the general concepts of such a sonic archeology. Profile of Shintaro Miyazaki: born 1980 in Berlin. Grew up in Basle, Switzerland and studied Media Theory, Musicology and Philosophy at University of Basle, Humboldt University Berlin, Technical University Berlin and Free University of Berlin, M.A. in Basle 2007. Since summer 2007 he is an independent PhD Researcher at the Chair for Media Theory of Humboldt University Berlin (Wolfgang Ernst). Description of artistic project ?Psychogeophysics: archaeology, geophysics and psychogeography? by Martin Howse: ?The pick was [then] used to hammer on the surface, and by this means, the Angle Ditch was discovered. The sound produced by hammering on an excavated part is much deeper than on an undisturbed surface, a circumstance worth knowing when exploring a grass-grown downland,though not applicable to cultivated ground.? [Augustus Pitt Rivers. Excavations in Cranborne Chase. Volume IV. 1895] The relation between such techniques of archaeological prospecting and TEMPEST, the study of compromising emissions (including sound), can easily be made with both interventions pointing towards a certain revealing of that which is. In highly paranoiac manner, psychogeophysics seeks to expand the terms of this simple equation to embrace psychogeography and urbanism, proposing an exchange between imaginary realms, the digital and the observed, which allows for speculative notions such as data sedimentation or for the application of techniques including those of version control to urban locales. Martin Howse will present and demonstrate a short series of psychogeophysical investigations and interventions with particular attention to the epistemic aspects of sound. Profile of Martin Howse is an artist/programmer and theorist, born 1969 in the UK, educated Goldsmiths College of Fine Art London, 1989 and based in Berlin. Martin has exhibited, performed and collaborated worldwide using custom, open source software and hardware modules for data/code processing and generation.

Atmosphere 2011 Feb 3-5 Mediated Cities Every year the University of Manitoba?s Faculty of Architecture hosts a symposium in the series Atmosphere. These symposia explore the intangible and overlooked dimensions of architecture and the city: those difficult to pin down, document, record with conventional instruments and methodologies. Atmosphere 2011 will focus on Mediated Cities, the image of architecture, space, and place in cinema and other media. There is a long history of ?city films? which have portrayed the experience of urban life, exploring through that experience the qualities and conundrums of modern life. Today that history is updated as cinema is supplemented by new forms of media: video, internet, portable media, and so on. These new forms of media emerge from and articulate shifts and developments in architecture and cities as well as global geographies, technologies and politics. They include imaginary as well as documentary narratives, and works that blur the two. They are also being incorporated, rapidly, into the practice of all design disciplines. Confirmed guests include Edward Dimendberg, Daniel Doz, Janine Marchessault, Leonie Sandercock, Eunate Torres-Modrego, [The User]. The symposium will be presented in partnership with the University of Manitoba Department of English, Film and Theatre, the Winnipeg Film Group, and Video Pool. Details can be found at: www.atmos.ca Call for Proposals: The Faculty of Architecture would like to invite proposals for academic papers, panels, presentations of film, video and other media, and creative works/public events in association with the symposium. A detailed Call for Proposals in both English and French is available at the symposium website. Deadline is Oct. 15 for both academic proposals and creative projects; participants will be notified by the end of October. Creative projects are required to confirm a venue in writing by the end of November, 2010. Atmosphere is seeking funding to assist some participants to attend the symposium. To be eligible for this funding, proposals should be submitted as early as possible. __________________ Lawrence Bird, MRAIC SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow University of Manitoba Faculty of Architecture birdl@cc.umanitoba.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

FOR THE SECOND TIME. Mediations Biennale is the largest exhibition of contemporary art in Poland and one of the major events of the kind in Central Europe. Biennale?s idea is the dialogue between civilizations, between culture and art, presentations of achievements in the latest art from remote corners of the globe, as well as artistic explorations of Central European artists. Although the event is still young (the first edition was held in 2008) ? since the outset grand scale was its middle name. This year, some 150 artists from 30 countries participate in the undertaking. 12 curators supervise the presentation. The works will fill 5 specific venues and open spaces in various locations in Pozna? to boot. Biennale should vibrate with life and approach contemporary discourses and discussions as near as possible ? says Matthias Reichelt, one of the curator of the ?Erased Walls? exhibition. ? On the other hand, it should not yield to what is canonised by museum and what enjoys demand on the art market ? he stipulates. The main programme comprises two exhibitions: ?Beyond Mediations? and ?Erased Walls?. These are accompanied by three events shown at the ?Arsenal? Municipal Gallery. www.mediations.pl www.erasedwalls.eu All exhibitions open on 11th September 2010 preview schedule 12:00 ? National Museum in Pozna? 14:00 ? ?Arsena?? Municipal Gallery 15:00 ?

Kluszczy?ski ? an eminent expert in media art. The curators agreed a list of almost 60 creative names. In this exhibition ? which is a remarkably rare occurrence ? the traditional genres of contemporary art (painting, sculpture, drawing etc.) will co-exist with the new media on an equal footing. The presentation aspires to overthrow the ever-persisting division between them. ?By juxtaposing paintings and interactive installations, one achieves the sharp and clear outline of dissimilarities found currently in the world of art, a manifestation of the diversity predominating there? ? Prof. Kluszczy?ski writes. And adds: ?In Beyond Mediations, the direct effect of this media-genre coexistence is also the parallel presence of various kinds of experience that art is capable of providing today. Apart from artworks which engender experience engaging one in a profound, contemplative penetration of autonomous worlds that these works call to life, there are also interactive realisations inviting the audience to co-create the experienced form, works which offer experiences which possess the structure of a network connecting various aspects of reality, which invite to enter a social and political discourse (as well as actions), which encourage to perceive art as a tool with which to analyze the present and even as a means of its transformation. The works of artists invited to the exhibition reveal that contemporary art is ready to abandon the autonomy it had had until recently, that it enters into elemental relationships not only with media technology but also with the worlds of science and many other social discourses, creating new, multidimensional languages of expression, which are adapted to the hybridity of the contemporary reality, to the complexity and multiformity of the world we live in. The exhibition?s tremendous diversity, the multitude of its inherent issues, themes and discourses, as well as the extensive spectrum of form with which they are expressed might appear chaotic. But this is how it should be! The world is chaos, once unleashed from the corset of order-imposing ideologies. And art only can restore the ability and joy of experiencing the world in its untidy state, in its creative disarray?. _ERASED WALLS [venues] container building ?

The exhibition is shaped by 10 curators, who develop narration around problematics and history of Central Europe, a narration which nevertheless departs from the experience of the ?Round Table? revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall. ?Erased Walls?, as Tomasz Wendland writes in the foreword to the catalogue, narrows its reflective focus to the creative work after 2000, with an emphasis on the latest art, yet without geopolitical constraints. Erasing of the frontiers does not apply exclusively to our region anymore. All over the world, the walls that were physically erased, have been replaced by invisible ones ? all the more efficacious and poignant because of their imperceptibility. Political divisions are now being exchanged for new ones, those associated with the dominance of the capital, social supremacy, poverty, media manipulation, the feeling of solitariness and exclusion. The artists, by constructing an image, arrive at reflections otherwise unattainable, which cannot be devised by means of language or document. An image is frequently a close-up quotation from reality, which, having been extracted from the mundanity and then presented in a different light shed by art, becomes surprisingly distinct. Erased Walls is an ironic question: have the last walls really fallen?? The ?Erased Walls? project may be appreciated in its entirety only after the consecutive modules of the exhibition have been seen in Freies Museum and Concentart in Berlin (7-30.10) and during the Crazycuratos Biennale in Bratislava (4-30.11.). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So speaks one voice in S?amas Cain?s dramatic evocation of what he calls The Prairie Gaeltacht. Drawing on his own conversations with relatives, S?amas Cain?s narrative probes deep into family, land and language. Through their plain but poetic voices, history is relived. Here Irish settlers learn from Indians "where strawberries grew and which birds were most delicious to hunt." Here is Thomas Burke, kinsman of Edmund, fleeing to the Irish Colonies of Minnesota in 1878. We are brought from the time of the wagon trains to the day electricity arrived in the village of Murdock in 1922. Along the way we hear stories of the Molly Maguires, the communitarian Connemaras and their vision of creating a Gaelic socialist utopia on the prairies of western Minnesota; of fiddlers and harmonica players at dances; of droughts, crop failures, snowstorms, and swarms of locusts. The Prairie Gaeltacht is an extraordinary bi-lingual journey into a haunting past. Actors from T?Aitreo will re-create in Irish the words and stories of S?amas Cain?s grandparents and their cousins and friends, whilst Cain himself will narrate in English. A unique insight into an almost forgotten history, The Prairie Gaeltacht is a deeply personal odyssey from one of America?s most radical and inventive of poets. http://www.cityarts.ie/events/2010/09/20/-the-prairie-gaeltacht-gaeltacht-na-bhfarthailte/ _______________ S?amas Cain http://www.saorsainn.net http://alazanto.org/seamascain http://seamascain-writernetwork.org From tincuta.heinzel at gmail.com Wed Sep 1 23:16:06 2010 From: tincuta.heinzel at gmail.com (Tincuta Heinzel) Date: Wed Sep 1 23:16:42 2010 Subject: [spectre] EXTENDED DEADLINE: Call for Papers on Phenomenology of Digital Technologies Message-ID: Following several requests related to the call for papers of "Studia Philosophia" on "Phenomenology of Digital Technologies", we decided to extend the dead-line until 30th of September 2010. New dates: Deadline for submissions: September 30, 2010. Notification of acceptance: October 31, 2010. Publication: December 2010 * STUDIA * UNIVERSITATIS BABES-BOLYAI *PHILOSOPHIA Series * ISSN 1221 - 8138 launches a * CALL FOR PAPERS* The topic for the third issue in 2010 is *Phenomenology of Digital Technologies* * CALL FOR PAPERS* Studia Philosophia proposes an international debate on the phenomenon of art, technology and scientific development in the present digital era, focusing on the impact of the digital media in our lives. 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 30, 2010. Notification of acceptance: October 31, 2010.

The aim of the collaboration is to evaluate how the creative process functions as a type of remix itself in a period when production keeps moving toward a collective approach in all facets of culture. The emphasis on video remixing is the result of a collaborative rewriting activity among the contributors, who each wrote independent paragraphs that went through constant revisions once combined as a single text. Video was selected as the subject of analysis because members have a common interest in time-based media, and also because video remixing is at the forefront of media production. One of the group goals is that the text becomes a statement of what video could be as a reflective form of the networked culture that is developing at the beginning of the twenty- first century. The text is in constant revision and readers are encouraged to join in its writing. ?Remix and the Rouelles of Media Production? is the result of an ongoing collaboration that started in January 2010, when Owen Gallagher invited Mette Birk, Mark Cantwell, Martin Leduc, and Eduardo Navas to join a Remix Theory and Praxis online seminar. In April, Navas invited Tara Zepell to join the group.

All the best, Inke ----------------------------------- http://regardingplace.com/?p=9660 Arctic Perspective Cahier No.1: Architecture re:place magazine, August 31, 2010 ?The Arctic Perspective Initiative (API) is a non-profit, international group of individuals and organizations whose goal is to promote the creation of open authoring, communication, and dissemination infrastructures for the circumpolar region? it is a transnational art, science, and culture work group consisting of partner organizations from five different countries ? Germany, Slovenia, UK, Iceland, and Canada. Arctic Perspective uses media art and the research of artists to investigate the complicated, global, cultural, and ecological interrelations in the Arctic, and to develop concepts for constructing tactical communications systems and a mobile, eco-friendly research station, which will support interdisciplinary and intercultural collaborations.? - from the API mission statement Edited by Andreas M?ller ? Published by Hatje Cantz Press (2010) Review by Sean Ruthen, re:place magazine There is and always has been an unexplainable attraction to the north, like some shared human lodestone. Whether for its great expanses of pristine and breathtaking sparseness, or the cultural richness of the different indigenous nations that live there, there is something about it which has long fascinated us. Like the unexplored depths of the planet?s oceans, the North represents one of the few remaining places where Nature still reigns supreme, where at best we can try to adapt our warm-blooded bodies to the microclimates of the temporary shelters we erect there. On two previous occasions, re:place has reviewed architecture books on the Arctic ? Extreme Architecture and Modern North - but none have demonstrated the breadth of enterprise that is at the heart of the Arctic Perspective Initiative (API). Begun in 2006 when three of the group?s founding members sat down with the elders of Igloolik, Nunavut, the API has since become a sanctioned research body by the European Commission. This ongoing project will end in 2013, from which will be presented the outcome of Arctic Perspective ? Third Culture, with the goal of providing the template for a two-way communication between the existing indigenous nations of the north and the developed nations to the south. At its core is the intent to not make the mistakes that have been made in the past, and to create an awareness and respect of the Arctic that just may save it and the people living there from complete catastrophe due to changes to their ecosystem. The first of four volumes, or cahiers, to be released, ?Arctic Perspective: Architecture? focuses solely on the enterprise of habitation in the Arctic, and includes a design competition to the same end, as well as four critical essays related to architecture and the North, giving the volume its theoretical breadth. Three planned future volumes/cahiers will look at the politics of the Arctic, its relationship to technology, and of course its natural landscape. As it happens, the timing for the book?s release couldn?t be more apt, as just recently the media (and even our own federal government) have demonstrated an increasing interest in it, certainly while Canadian F-15?s are being called to our northern borders to disembark Russian planes which have curiously appeared on the horizon. Whether a gold rush or the relentless pursuit of oil, the developed nations of our world have often had their wrists slapped for trying to exploit its resources, and so does API arrive as a new steward for the Arctic, hoping to use new and old media alike to communicate the critical mass that we could shortly find ourselves faced with in the North, if governments and their corporate cronies are allowed to have their way. Most importantly though, and not unlike other humanitarian organizations such as Greenpeace and the UN, the API has as its mandate a bottom-up methodology, in that they are not interested in seeing the North solely on their own terms, but through the eyes of the indigenous nations that already call it home. This is an important focus of this first volume, and sure to be a recurring theme running in the volumes to come. Presented in a sparse and no-nonsense format, the pages of text allow the sixteen colour pages in the center of the book to pop out, themselves a collage of images culled from the competition entries. While the essays in the volume, including one on ?Arctic Architect? Ralph Erskine and another on Buckminster Fuller, provide effective counterpoint for the book, it is the design competition itself which is its raison d?etre. Conducted in 2009, the competition as put on by API called simply ?Mobile Media-centric Habitation and Work Unit,? asked entrants to design a habitation with life support and work station for use in the Arctic, with the adjunct of it having to be mobile. The design brief as well required that the solution be a sustainable one, providing renewable energy and waste recycling along with its communication systems. Pending available funding, there was also built into the competition the possibility that the winning prototype could be built and tested in the North. With cash prizes for first, second, and third place, the book presents in some detail these three schemes, while a handful of others are presented in brief summary, accompanied by selected images from their presentations. As would be expected, the 103 entries from thirty countries ranged from the serious to the whimsical, with the three winners demonstrating a critical understanding of the terrain as realized through the indigenous traditions of building (and surviving) there. While one of the winning entrants appropriated forms of architecture and responses typical to the terrain, the two others went one step further and realized a habitation that could be collapsed to the footprint of a dogsled. A more whimsical, Archigram inspired entry made the media centre out of a VW camper van. Each of the essays featured, as introduced in the editor?s foreword, are excellent companions to the design competition visuals and text. The first by Marilyn Walker provides the anthropological perspective, complete with photographs of typical indigenous dwellings such as yurts or iglus. She points out that the Igloolik dialect, along with many others have 100 words for snow, of which many relate specifically to snow as a construction material. Two essays on Buckminster Fuller and Ralph Erskine, by Carsten Kohn and Jeremie Michael McGowan respectively, provide the book with both the architectural primer for the mobile house, as well as the first true modern architect of the North. The essays are then themselves bookended between the competition, and two documented accounts of travels through the Arctic, the first a rather empirical account of a voyage through the Northwest Passage, the other a more recent journey taken by members of the API to visit an ancestral ground along with several Inuit families in Nunavut. Arctic Perspective is without question a timely publication from Hatje Cantz, with future volumes bound to be as invaluable resource as this. And as sure as the magnetism of the North, like its Aurora Borealis, continues to draw our gaze to its horizon, the API looks there also as a chance to set things right between Nature and our old-fashioned ways, for better and for worse. *** For more information on the Arctic Perspective Initiative, go to www.arcticperspective.org.

Uralmash (the Ural Heavy Machine Building Plant) is one of the famost plants of the former URSS. Founded in 1933 in compliance with the plans of the Government of the USSR for the industrialization of the country, during the pre-World War II period, Uralmash manufactured its products (blast furnace equipment, sintering machines, rolling mills, presses, cranes, etc.) for the mining and metallurgical industries located in the Urals and Siberia. The majority of these products were produced from individual designs. At the same time the plant began to develop military equipment. During World War II large-scale production of armoured materiel was organized at the plant. At first the plant manufactured armoured tank hulls, later expanding to production of T-34 tanks and the SU-122, SU-85, and SU-100 gun tank destroyers based on the T-34 tank design. The self-propelled gun mounts built at Uralmash demonstrated their effectiveness on the battlefield as a successful combination of maneuverability of T-34 tanks and huge fire power of ordnance pieces. IT'S TIME is an interactive installation that challenges one of the overarching question that pertains to the post-modern world, namely, the acceleration of time induced by collective behaviors, and the level of frustration it induces on individuals. The frenzy that most of us experience in modern life is the consequence of a bundle of constraints that were originally initiated by us: from the individual level to the collective level and back, the path followed by these constraints (and the stress it induces on individuals) is complex and meandering, going through the turf of religion, culture, politics and education. This complexity makes it difficult for us to fathom out where the path is sufficiently loose to be altered so that we may, eventually, deliver ourselves from a constraint we no longer accept. This is this very path that IT'S TIME proposes to sketch. The work is based on the quantum information theory and its connection with statistical physics, error correcting codes and Monte Carlo markov chain methods. The opening of the 1st Ural Industrial Biennial of contemporary art "Shockworkers of the Mobile Image" that will be held in Ekaterinburg Septermber 8-12, 2010. The biennial will take place in the Ural Workers Printing Press (the main project) and in four large industrial plants (the special projects) from September 9 till October 10, 2010. Ekaterinburg, formerly Sverdlovsk, is the capital of the Soviet Union's industrial heartland, the Ural. When the USSR collapsed, the city's many heavy industries fell prey to economic malaise. But today, Ekaterinburg has become one of the hubs of Russia's resource economy, a site of accumulation following an era of shock privatization. How should we understand all this new investor architecture, empty as of yet, all these new service industries, all that new imaginary "symbolic capital" produced by "creative professionals" and their underlings? What role does and can contemporary art play in such a place, when it comes to the half-operational spaces of Soviet industry? Curated by Cosmin Costinas (Amsterdam/Utrecht), Ekaterina Degot (Moscow), and David Riff (Moscow/Berlin), "Shockworkers of the Mobile Image" draws together the work of more than 40 artists and filmmakers in a dense curatorial narrative. The exhibition at the biennial's main venue is accompanied by a program of special projects, curated by Alisa Prudnikova (director EB NCCA). It inhabits the operational or defunct premises of some of Ekaterinburg's largest industrial plants and features the works by artists from Russia, Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Mexico, the USA, France, Finland, and Sweden.

Formen, Spuren, L?schungen 9 Installationen 1973-2010 11. September bis 7. November 2010 Er?ffnung: Freitag, 10. September 2010, 20 Uhr Begr??ung: Martin Schumacher, Kulturdezernent der Stadt Oldenburg Sabine Himmelsbach, Leitung Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst Es sprechen: Carsten Seiffarth, Kurator der Ausstellung Ingmar L?hnemann, wissenschaftlicher Assistent Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst Mit Paul DeMarinis Formen, Spuren, L?schungen pr?sentiert das Edith-Ru?-Haus f?r Medienkunst in Deutschland die erste Retrospektive des amerikanischen K?nstlers mit wichtigen Arbeiten von den 1970 Jahren bis zu aktuellen Neuproduktionen und gibt damit einen Einblick in das k?nstlerische Schaffen dieses Pioniers der Medienkunst. DeMarinis Hauptaugenmerk gilt physikalischen Prinzipien und der Entwicklung der Kommunikationsmedien. Seine Arbeiten basieren h?ufig auf einer ?sthetischen Umdeutung der vorgefundenen physikalischen Ph?nomene und technischen Apparate. Bei seinen Objekten, Ger?ten und Installationen handelt es sich um eigene Erfindungen und Re-Erfindungen, die bestimmte technische und naturwissenschaftliche Begebenheiten kritisch, humorvoll und poetisch nutzbar machen. Im Zentrum der Ausstellung steht die Installation The Edison Effect von 1993, die selbst aus dreizehn selbstst?ndigen Arrangements besteht - Kombinationen unterschiedlicher Techniken und Materialien, die zu ungew?hnlichen Audioabspielger?ten zusammengesetzt werden. Einige weisen einen konkreten Bezug zu Thomas Alva Edison auf, dessen Erfindungsreichtum und Pers?nlichkeit in diesem Werk eine leicht ironische Hommage erf?hrt. Im dunklen Ausstellungsraum tasten Laser alte Grammophonschallplatten, Wachszylinder, Hologramme, Walzen, Teller und Schallplatten aus Lack oder Bienenwachs ab. Die Lichtreflexe, die von diesen Tontr?gern zur?ckstrahlen, werden in elektrische Signale umgesetzt, die dann von Lautsprechern wiedergegeben werden. Das Licht der Laser wird unter anderem von einem alten Fernseher, Goldfischen oder den Ausstellungsbesuchern selbst gesteuert und ver?ndert. Wie The Edison Effect zeigen die weiteren acht Werke DeMarinis in der Ausstellung ein absichtliches ?Missverst?ndnis? von technischen Ger?ten, Kommunikationsmedien und physikalischen Ph?nomenen. Arbeiten wie Gray Matter von 1995 funktionieren dabei nur, wenn sich die Besucher daran beteiligen. In diesem Fall kann man durch Ber?hren elektrisch geladene Objekte wie eine Zinkbadewanne zum Klingen bringen und so Musik erzeugen. Alle neun gezeigten Arbeiten ?berraschen, bezaubern und erzeugen Staunen angesichts der M?glichkeiten der k?nstlerischen Nutzung von technischen Ger?ten und naturwissenschaftlichen Ph?nomenen.

Forms, Traces, Deletions 9 Installations 1973-2010 Septembre 11 to Novembre 7, 2010 Opening: Friday, Septembre 10, 2010, 8 p.m. Greetings: Martin Schumacher, Head of the cultural department of the city of Oldenburg Sabine Himmelsbach, Artistic Director Edith Russ Site for Media Art Introduction by: Carsten Seiffarth, Curator of the Exhibition Ingmar L?hnemann, Assistant Curator Edith Russ Site for Media Art With Paul DeMarinis?s Forms, Traces, Deletions the Edith Russ Site for Media Art presents the first retrospective of the American artist which features important works from the 1970s to current productions and thus encompasses the entirety of the artistic endeavours of this pioneer of media art. DeMarinis devotes his attention primarily to physical principles and the development of communication media. His works are often based on an aesthetic reinterpretation of existing physical phenomena and technical instruments. His objects, apparatuses and installations are his own inventions with which specific technical and scientific occurrences are made useful in a critical, humorous and poetic fashion. At the centre of the exhibition stands the 1993 installation The Edison Effect, which itself is comprised of thirteen autonomous arrangements, combinations of diverse techniques and materials assembled to form unusual audio playback devices. Several directly reference Thomas Alva Edison, whose inventiveness is given a slightly ironic homage in this piece. In a darkened exhibition space, lasers scan old gramophone records, wax cylinders, holograms, coils, plates and phonographs records made of shellac or bee?s wax. The light reflected by these sound storage media are transformed into electric signals that are then played back on the loudspeakers. The light from the laser is controlled and altered by an old television set, goldfish or the exhibition visitors, among others. Like The Edison Effect, DeMarinis?s eight other works in the exhibition depict an intentional ?misunderstanding? of technical instruments, communication media and physical phenomena. Pieces such as Gray Matter from 1995 only function, however, when the visitors participate. In this case, by touching electrically charged objects such as a zinc bathtub, it causes them to make a sound and thus produce music. All nine exhibited works surprise, enchant and cause astonishment in the face of the potentials involved in the artistic use of technical devices and scientific phenomena.

This postgraduate programme will integrate different analytic perspectives to understand and improve the relation between culture and society, technology, the economy, the communication media and the arts. To achieve this, we will examine the most relevant case studies and will collaborate with specialists from the art world, as well as experts in culture, research, the media and industry, analyzing in real time those elements that we examine on the theoretical, methodological and practical level. The programme fits in with professional studies in the arts and humanities as well as with advanced communication studies, but it also has a clear connection with creative industries and cultural management. This course is intended as much for those who want to study the arts and culture of today as well as professionals and artists working in the field of the arts, culture, communication media and creative industries.

What happens after species change surgery becomes a reality? *Becoming Transreal* speculates on a future in which the promises of bionanotechnology have become realized, and yet as capitalism has continued to fail, both the interiors of our bodies and the virtual world have become totally commodified. you can become anything, but to finance your whims of identity transformation, the same nanohormones that transform your body are also producing drugs for others. *Becoming Transreal * looks at transgender experience through a lens of slipstream science fiction poetry. The performance uses motion capture to interface with Second Life avatars and 3D stereoscopic imagery to immerse the audience in this transreal world. Inspired in part by *Tales from the Matter Market* and a continuation of *Becoming Dragon* , this performance asks what our lives are like when we have become both the factory and the product, asks how we can resist capitalism when neoliberalism?s collapse has wound itself into the perfection of a single atom, into the fabric of beauty and into our most intimate emotions.

This Installation with recorded or live performances will take place at 1:00 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. from September 23 through September 27, 2010 at the Grapevine Space of CITY ARTS, 15 Bachelor?s Walk, Dublin 1, Ireland. For additional information phone Nick Reilly at CITY ARTS, i.e., Phone (+353)(1)902.2414 ... http://www.cityarts.ie/events/2010/09/23/-trid-an-gcoill tr?d an gcoill "through the woods" A collection of reality-particles; sounds and images from Dromore Woods. An audiovisual installation, with recorded or live performances. tr?d an gcoill, a 120-page poem by S?amas Cain, is itself a poetic field recording. It evokes a walk through Dromore Woods in County Clare. It immerses the reader in a stream of words and word-clusters. The overall effect is hypnotic, as we are led by a piped piper into the heart of the wood. Czech sound-artist Slavek Kwi has created an audiovisual installation from underwater and field recordings captured in Dromore Woods itself, and fused these elements with S?amas Cain's chanted recital of tr?d an gcoill. This installation with performances will be open to the public in City Arts, with Free Admission. tr?d an gcoill creates a unique space in which one can experience nature and language through sounds and visions of uncanny beauty. S?amas Cain is an Irish-American experimental poet, a friend and colleague of Jean Genet and Allen Ginsberg. One of the most radical voices in modern literature he writes in Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Old Celtic, Spanish and English. For additional information, go to ... http://seamascain-writernetwork.org Slavek Kwi is a Czech sound-artist, composer and researcher. From the early nineties he has operated under the name "Artificial Memory Trace." For additional information, go to ... http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com Seamus Johnson described Cain's recorded chantings of tr?d an gcoill for this Installation as "incantatory, rhythmic, passionate, guttural, mezmerizing. Cain is the baritone ascending to Apollo. Or, is he the baritone ascending Mt. Carmel? He does tend to get carried away in performance, lost in a kind of trance, at times in the passion of the moment whacking the microphones. Indeed, Cain's performance is hypnotic! Plenty of auditory images! And plenty of rich and diverse sounds to be chopped up for computer-randomization!" Slavek Kwi used chance operations to distribute the fragments of Cain's chantings in various speakers of a vertical Speaker Tree, which doesn't brake the continuous chanting, but changes the architecture as texture and dynamics. Also, Kwi used chance operations on the distribution in speakers of the timbre of Cain's chantings. Kwi's Installation includes a color film, with parts of the text of the tr?d an gcoill poem superimposed in scrolling effect over images from Dromore Woods, a slide-show with 1,500 slides, an environmental soundtrack on external 5.1 system and also a Voice Tower, all edited using chance operations. Kwi's Installation also includes physical objects from Dromore Woods.

It utilizes tiny fragments of sound to construct a sound structure consisting of hundreds or thousands of these sonic particles or "grains". During this hands-on seminar we will learn how to buld different kinds of grains and the systems to generate, shape and control groups or "clouds" of these units in real time. We will also add interactive control to our granulator programs in order to be able to use them live as instruments. We will be using the free and open-source programming environment SuperCollider. The first session will include a lightning-fast introduction to this synthesis environment. 8, 9 and 10 october 2010 at Hangar, Barcelona. +info: [ http://lullcec.org/?p=1264 ] ------------------------------------------------ This activity is organized by l?ull cec with the collaboration of Consell Nacional de la Cultura i les Arts and the support of Hangar.

Is that the city we want for tomorrow? PARK(ing) Day, a one-day worldwide event organized in more than 140 cities around the world, invites citizens, artists and activists to temporarily transform metered parking spots into ?PARK(ing)? spaces: temporary public parks. Relying on social networks, the event is launched on a large scale in France, in connection with SmartCity, an international art production and research programme on the theme of the intelligent city, connected, sustainable and creative. Why? To imagine creative and playful ways to re appropriate public open space. To question the position of nature and citizens in the city To create alternative sustainable spaces for commitment, new social interactions, generosity and playfulness. Where? In Paris, in France and in 140 cities around the world, express your creativity and imagine original parenthesis to concrete spaces, on the 17th and 18th of September 2010. Some ideas: a gardening class, a ping-pong competition, an ephemeral art installation, a free lemonade stand, an open poetry reading, a mini urban farm, a garden, a playground, a picnic area Sign up on the website www.parkingday.fr and follow the manual! Programme Many art installations and activities are scheduled these days in Paris? streets. Among the most surprising, you will find a new project by Rebar, the American collective who created PARK(ing) Day in 2005. The concept of this project is to create a mobile, public participatory art piece that inspires urban residents to re-imagine the way that we create and occupy public space. This original personal public space can be transported by bicycle, and can become temporary parks whenever needed Further information: www.parkingday.fr Facebook Twitter More : www.smartcity.fr | www.smartcityblog.fr | www.dedale.info | www.parkingday.org The non-profit organization Dedale is also looking for volunteers, to help with the implementation of the event PARK(ing) Day in Paris. Further information here. Rebar Group is an interdisciplinary studio from San Francisco, operating at the intersection of art, design and activism. Their work encompasses visual and conceptual public art, landscape design, urban intervention, temporary performance installation, digital media and print design. Rebar remixes the ordinary, repurposes the ubiquitous and restructures the fabric of the urban environment by exposing hidden assumptions and shared meanings embedded in the everyday experience of the built world. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ainsi l?image. Mais aujourd'hui la tendance serait plut?t d'ajouter une troisi?me, voire une quatri?me dimension? Toujours une sorte de compl?ment visant ? la perfection du r?el. L'univers ? deux dimensions, qui est celui de l'illusion, a sa perfection en lui-m?me. Il faut soustraire pour retrouver l'image ? l'?tat pur. La soustraction fait appara?tre l'essentiel. Les r?flexions de Baudrillard sur la s?duction et la disparition s?inscrivent dans cette perspective, ainsi que sa conception du Bien et du Mal. ? Pr?sident de s?ance : Alain Touraine, sociologue ?

On y trouve formul?s les grands th?mes d?une pens?e qu?il ne cessera d?approfondir. De l??change symbolique ? l??change impossible. De l??change arrach? ? la sph?re marchande, dans le sillage de Mauss et de Bataille, ? l??change pos? comme leurre et illusion. Cette troisi?me demi journ?e envisage la r?versibilit? (en particulier l?id?e d?espace r?versible), la sc?ne primitive de l?espace (la fascination pour le d?sert, pour l?Am?rique), le destin (ce dont l??change est impossible), mais aussi les id?es d?alt?rit? et de devenir (contre le changement). ?

Pataphysicien ? 20 ans ; situationniste ? 30 ; utopiste ? 40 ; transversal ? 50 ; viral et m?taleptique ? 60. ? Germaniste de formation, traducteur de Marx et de Brecht, il a pass? un doctorat de sociologie sous la direction d'Henri Lefebvre, ? Nanterre, o? il enseigna cette discipline et contribua ? la cristallisation des id?es de mai 68. A travers ses premiers livres, publi?s au d?but des ann?es 70, Le Syst?me des objets, la Soci?t? de consommation, Pour une critique de l'?conomie politique du signe il s'est impos? aux c?t?s de Roland Barthes et de Guy Debord comme l'un des interpr?tes et des critiques les plus ac?r?s des syst?mes symboliques de nos soci?t?s d?velopp?es. Ses id?es ? les objets de la modernit? comme syst?me de signes symboliques, la consommation comme nouvelle morale et nouveau mythe du monde, la marchandise comme signe et les signes comme marchandise ? ont eu un retentissement majeur et en font un penseur inclassable et r?fractaire ? toutes les id?ologies. Dans les ann?es 80, ? partir de De la s?duction, les Strat?gies fatales, Am?rique, Cool Memories, La Transparence du Mal, le crime parfait, il a d?velopp? une r?flexion d?capante ax?e sur les concepts de s?duction, de simulation, d'hyper r?alit?, de r?alit? int?grale. Jusqu'? d?noncer l'int?grisme de nos soci?t?s, aussi permissives que totalitaires, parce qu'obs?d?es par l'?radication du Mal, alors que ? toute lib?ration du Bien entra?ne in?luctablement celle du Mal ?. Jean Baudrillard est l?un des rares penseurs fran?ais de r?putation internationale. Par des essais retentissants, il a affirm? sa volont? de participer, mais ? sa mani?re, toujours paradoxale, aux d?bats publics, sans jamais revendiquer quelle que posture morale ou de v?rit? que ce soit. Son propos, souvent d?rangeant, est aussi celui d?un po?te et d?un m?taphysicien. Et il faut prendre la mesure des diverses facettes de son talent (de la po?sie ? la photographie, en passant par la traduction), de toutes les dimensions d?une pens?e (de l?anthropologie ? la philosophie), de toutes les formes d?une oeuvre (du trait? th?orique classique ? l?aphorisme nietzsch?en), pour bien saisir l?originalit? de sa vision du monde. * JEAN BAUDRILLARD, ELEMENTS BIOGRAPHIQUES BIOGRAPHIE 1929 (27 juillet) Naissance ?

V2_ runs a presentation space, a media lab, a publishing house and is actively developing an archive related to our almost 30 years of activities. V2_ is an interdisciplinary center for art, technology and media that pays special attention to research and experimentation. Thus, it has many collaborative ties with organisations in various sectors (a.o. the arts, universities, and the social and cultural sector). This research concentrates on the relationship between art and life, technology, media and society. Beside being a place for experts and researchers, we develop public events to make our research, which is practice and theory, accessible for a larger audience. Over the past 30 years, a growing domestic and international audience has had the opportunity to get acquainted with prominent artists, thinkers and projects in the field of art, media and technology through exhibitions, present ations, symposiums and performances and the Dutch Electronic Art Festival - DEAF. V2_ currently employs a permanent staff of 22 people from different backgrounds and nationalities. Partime curator The position is focused on the development of V2_'s presentations, exhibitions, conferences and other activities. We are looking for a curator that has a profound interest and knowledge in combining practice and theory. The successful applicant will have all necessary knowledge and experience in the field of interdisciplinary and contemporary art in the context of its technological culture, and to maintain an international network of contacts in this area. Experience in organising interdisciplinary exhibitions, workshops and conferences is a must. In light of the international character of the position, the curator must speak different languages (English at a minimum) and preferably also Dutch. Because the position concerns interdisciplinary activities, the successful applicant should be well-informed in multiple fields. General knowledge in media theory is important. We require: > An inventive and creative person with a broad vision in the area of contemporary art, technology, science and society, who is able to articulate and translate concepts into public presentations as well as into research activities. > Experience in the conceptualization and realization of exhibitions, conferences and hands-on presentations. > Outstanding communication skills and be a team worker. The curator will work in a small team that is responsible for researching and developing the public events at V2_ and play an important role in developing a public discours in the context of our activities. We offer a part-time position (app. 3 days a week), beginning on November 1st 2010 (starting date can be discussed).

What then was coined as a "storm on fortress Europe" by the mainstream media might well have marked the beginning of a subtle redesign of the European outer borders. John Palmesino and Florian Schneider, advising researchers Design at the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht (NL), will discuss how in the presence ? as well as in the absence ? of a scandal, new forms of participation, neutralization and caretaking become the constitutive elements of a border regime that operates beyond the patterns of inclusion and exclusion and how this matters for contemporary design practices. BETWEEN is a new series of events at the JVE Design department. For each session two guests are invited to exchange thoughts and experiences about a certain problem and from different points of view, analyzing complex issues of redesigning parts of the world for the 21st century. BETWEEN #1 starts on Friday, 17th September at 16:00 hrs at the JVE. The session will be followed on Saturday by a presentation of the new research projects in the Design department. Applicants for the projects are welcome to join an informal debate about the goals and methodologies of these projects. If you are attending this debate, please register with Anne Vangronsveld at coordinator.events@janvaneyck.nl Candidate researchers in the Design Department are invited to propose projects according to one of the new initiatives started by the department: FORBIDDEN CITY. Strijp-S is an urban development plan that tries to transform the 66 acres of the former Philips factory in Eindhoven from a 'forbidden city' into a 'creative city with an unequalled character'. The project is a visual research into new divisions of labour that emerge when heavy industries and mass production are replaced by what is coined as cognitive, immaterial or affective labour. *LATENT STARE*. Exploring the practice, methods and messages of type-design, *Latent stare* proposes a gathering and study of selected typefaces and stories, from the 1900s onwards ? when technology had accelerated and begun to affect the production and distribution of new types. The selected material is affiliated to a political, social or spiritual set of beliefs that feed back into the typefaces? creation, design and/or use. NEUTRALITY_Polity and Space in the Post-Eurocentric City researches the modalities and substances that contemporary practices of neutrality give rise to and contribute in sustaining. The project aims at outlining innovative paths towards design agency and creativity and analyses forms of transformation and control of contemporary space. OPEN VIDEO HTML5 is supposed to open a new chapter in web design and web-based publishing. Open Video will research into past and present open-source video implementations to develop an independent platform that explores the specific potentials of self-authored and self-managed, open-source video publishing initiatives against the backdrop of the overwhelming dominance of mass media like content providers. REMOTE SENSING_Biopolitical Imagery investigates how new remote-sensing technologies are shaping and carving contemporary spaces of operation and sovereignty, and focuses on the agency that these new technologies elicit and entail. The project singles out a series of contemporary situations and traces the complex links and exchanges between the production of new images through remote sensing and the outline of new legal and governmental issues.

Touri Go Homme! doch wieder nur Eine Baustelle Natuerlich ist das kein Tippfehler, aber auch kein Irrtum, nur ein Bonmot. Aber vielleicht besser als "Reclaim Your City". Welche City denn? MyCity? Die Stadt ist voller Touristen, Touri! Es muesste lauten "Reclaim The City", _die_ Stadt. Und nicht nur diese ist Ressource in den Augen und Haeuschen von subventionierten Kunsthausbauern oder von Off Biennales. Die Stadt ist voller Touristen. Deine Stadt auch? In "meinem" Treppenhaus, das wie das gesamte Haus einer demnaechst zur Aktiengesellschaft werdenden Wohnungsbaugesellschaft gehoert, die von DER Stadt verkauft wurde, steht an einer unbenutzen Tuer "Go and love your own city". Welche denn? Amsterdam etwa? Prag etwa? Das "arm" in "Arm aber Sexy" koennen wir schonmal streichen. Die ... Deine Stadt ist voller Porsche Cayenne usw. Und voller Geld aus dem Sueden. Und voller Artisten. Ueber 600 Bewerber fuer jeden Call for xxx. Die Stadt ist Plateau oder Tableau oder Phaenomen fuer universitaere und sehr schlaue, kluge, die Szene beobachtende, mitten im Diskurs stehende Wir-bleiben-alle-Soziologen. Fuck me I'm sick. Daran glaubt keiner mehr. Go and fuck your own city. Die Stadt ist voller Touris. Touri Go Homme! war mal "Ami go home!" und versteht sich vielleicht weniger als Appell an die Selbst-Humanisierung des Touristen und des sich entspannenden Verhaeltnisses des nativen Indigenen oder wie (?) des Autochthonen zum Touri als solchem. Geht, Imperialisten des touristischen Alltags, der banalen Tickets und Eintrittskarten und Fahrkarten und Karten und Google maps auf dem Smartphone. Berlin is the new Brooklyn! Ihr treibt die Mietpreise nach oben. Jetzt habt Ihr die Hosen voll/er Kreditkarten. Es kommt also auf die Konfrontation an, denn die Verdraengung der sog. Armen aus den Staedten insbes. den Innenstaedten ist nur Phaenomen noch nicht die Analyse. Konsequente Konsequenzen fuer einen effektiven Organisationsgrad hierzu waeren evtl.: Die Online Karten nutzen fuer das Kartografieren der Asyl-, Abschiebe-, usw.-Lager, Ordnungsaemter und Polizeistationen, z.B. mit http://www.openstreetmap.de twitter nutzen fuer Anti-Fahrkartenkontroll-Netzwerke (wirkliche funktionable Netzwerke und nicht blosz symbolisch symbolische) wie z.B. http://www.ublitzer.de (Wobei "So lange Schwarzfahren bis die Bahn ihre Preise auf ein ertraegliches Niveau senkt!" natuerlich sagen wir mal boykottistischer-Quark ist.) Reclaim Your City ist dabei doch wieder nur und lediglich "Street Art" zur weiteren Aufwertung der Stadt: Von http://www.neurotitan.de/Galerie/Archiv/2010/100827_ryc.html zu http://www.sp38.com ("Prisoner in Berlin since 1995 !"), der aber auch schonmal fragte "WHO KILLS MITTE?" oder konstatierte "I DON'T WANNA BE U'RE FRIEND IN FACE BOOK", selbstverstaendlich unnachahmlichen staksigen Runenartigen Lettern und mit leichten grammatikalischen Street Style-Verschiebungen dem Format geschuldtet, das nichts duldet ausser real die Bedingungen zu stellen: VIVE LA BOURG EOISIE Und irgendwo stand doch kuerzlich, Berlin haette sich zu dem neuen Zentrum fuer Kunst entwickelt, da so viele Kuenstler hierher gezogen seien. Dresden ist auch jaehrlich die "Hauptstadt des Dixieland", weil soviele Fans des Dixiland in der Stadt sind. Und sowieso ist "Spazierengehen als Kunstform" ist das Flanieren als vom Kunstamt genehmigte Form des Unterwegsseins. Euer Bottom-up ist das neue Top-down und Ihr Huren koennt nichts dagegen machen. Raus aus der Strasse, rein ins Museum!: "[...] nahm er an einem "Artist in Residence" Programm im Red Bull House of Art in S?o Paulo, Brasilien teil." "Artists from different countries together, [...]" http://redbullhouseofart.com.br/about Das Peinliche an der Street Art ist ihre Hybris, sich nach vorne zu bringen in der Woge der Auseinandersetzungen, ohne zu wissen, wo sie ist, also an welchem Ort, diesen Ort aber umdefinieren zu wollen, und ihre Rueckbesinnung auf Kunst als Kunst als soziale Kunst. Jeder Farbfleck auf dem Pflaster Kreuzbergs kann da Kunst sein/werden, Am schoensten noch, wenn Passanten durch ihn hindurchlaufen und ihre unintentionalen oder ihre nicht- determinalistischen Fuss- oder Radreifenspuren hinterlassen. Na, Jenny Holzer hat ja auch mal klein in der Neuen Nationalgalerie angefangen. Zwei bemerkenswerte Dinge ereigneten sich im August auf dem "Orientalischen Markt" am Maybachufer in Berlin. Ein Strassenmusiker, der mit wirklich wirklich akkuratem Noise versuchte die fressende, trinkende, gaffende Menge zu beeindrucken, wurde von 'echten' Strassenmusikern vertrieben mit dem Argument er mache nur Krach. Er bekam ausserdem keinen Cent vom sogenannten Publikum, dem Offentlichen. An einem Obst- und Gemuesestand hingegen spielte sich beinah ein Drama ab, als eine Art Amoklaeufer das grosse Messer zum Zerschneiden der Melonen an sich nahm und sich anschickte die Kaeufer zu zerfleischen. Rotes Melonenfruchtfleisch haette sich mit einem anderen Rot vermischt. Zum Glueck waren beide Vorfaelle nur gespielt. Aber die Forderung "KEINE MIETERHOEHUNGEN" bleibt eine Farce, zumal sie, wie auch der Stil der Freiheit-statt-Angst-Nummern gegen die totale Ueberwachung, immer und nicht nur symbolisch vor dem Reichstag artikuliert werden, also der Adressat das irgendwie Parlamentarische ist. Tourist sein ist kein Zustand sondern eine Mache, ein Tun. Jeder muss irgendwann Touri sein, um an die Orte zu gelangen, die er erfahren muss oder will. Aber die touristischen Touristen unterscheiden sich davon darin daraus, dass sie einen Ort zur Kulisse machen den wiederum touristische Kreative bespielen. Die NGBK und der Kunstraum Kreuzberg und uqbar und die "Backjumps" ("Urbane Kommunikation und Aesthetik") schaffen es aktuell leider nicht die 'Touristenkrankheit' als Syndrom wirklich fassbar zu machen. Der 'Koerper' der Stadt ist nicht krank, die Verhaeltnisse sind es, die oede, schlaffe Musik am Kanal vor globalisiertem Publikum zelebrieren hilft, der Kaffeestand direkt daneben am Markt profitiert von der Lage. Die urbanen Kommunikatouristen hatten fuer die Eroeffnung der Ausstellung die Waende natuerlich bemalt. "Transient Spaces" kamen dabei nicht heraus, die fuer den neuen Stadt-Wert verantwortlichen Maler wurden nicht mit den Migrationsforschern, die Folgen haetten aufzeichnen koennen, zusammengedacht oder -gebracht. Das Bethanien zeigte "Geschmiere" und dem dokumentaristischen, nicht mehr ganz ganz neuen Standard in der soziologischen Kunst, verpflichteten Ding. Besuche bringen Geld in die Kommune. Es mag ein billiger Vorwurf sein, auch die Kritischen tragen zum Status der billigen Stadt Berlin bei. So international, so neo-hip, heute Berlin morgen Bruessel uebermorgen London. Dokumentarisch aber ohne Plan, nicht mal ohne zynische Kampagne wie z.b. schleuser.net ("Mobilitaet ist unser Ziel"), nicht mal ohne Herleitung der Bedingungen aus den weltmasstablichen Bedingungen der Nationen. Der Sprung vom Subjektiven ins Objektive scheint da einfach zu gelingen und es kommt aber nur die Klage heraus ueber Grenzen, die eigene Ohnmacht, die eigene monumentale Ungestalt der Unkenntnis. Ursula Biemanns raumfuellende Riesenprojektion abfahrender LKWs in der "Sahara Chronicle" weist immerhin eine Frage auf, die Biemann als Behauptung -- in ebenso riesigen Lettern an der grossen Wand vor Kopf -- aufstellt, naemlich ob Mobilitaet eine Ressource ist. Die Geokoerper (siehe geobodies.org, ausgebucht bis 2012) moegen da zweifeln, da sie selbst ja die Ressource waeren. Die Verwechslung von Quellen mit den Springquellen des Sozialen ist verbreitet, auch Copyrights werden gerne als Ressource angesehen, humane Ressourcen sind da nie weit. Die Ressource der Mobilen ist noch lange nicht die Ressource Mobilitaet, die ihnen als Ware verkauft wird. Einzig Isa Andreu / Tomothy Moore schei en d s gechekt zu haben und listen die steigenden Zahlen der Berlinbesucheraliens in einer zerfaserten aber immerhin Map auf ... wieviele Mio. werden es pro Monat im naech ten J r sein? Die Mieten stiegen letztens im Land bis zu 14%. Also muss man nochmal fragen, ob die Kritiker der Bewegungen nicht ebenso zum steigenden Mietnievau weil stigendem Lohnniveau beitragen - in Berlin arbeiten angeblich die meisten (gemessen an was?) Hochqauilifizierten der sogenannten Republik. "... ja, weil Kreativit?t immer im Wechselspiel zwischen Struktur und Freiheit, Ordnung und Chaos entsteht.", sagt Rainer Holm-Hadulla, Professor fuer Medizin an der Universitaet Heidelberg, der sich auf die Foerderung kreativer Potenziale spezialisiert hat.* Carsten Does und Gerda Hecks Antwort darauf ist ein geradezu konservativer, vergleichender Splitscreen oder eine Parallelprojektion, die die schoenen Ansichten der Zaeune und Unorte vom Standpunkt des Pittoresken, des Malerischen Grenzgebiets der Erhabenen Schoenheiten, wie man sie an geografischen Grenzgebieten finden kann, deren geschundene Koerper die Geografie aber bald abstreifen und politisch werden, also zu Politkoerpern (politbodies) werden. Das V rh ltn d ehemals schoenen K nste blah . us sol nge , Das Geopolitische umgeht als Geopolitizitaet, als institutionalem Begriff, nur die Begriffe der Migration (Flucht/Vertreibung, Wanderung dem Geld nach, Raumueberspringen aus Lust und noetiger Mobilitaet, der Migration im Gegensatz zum Reisen) und dann sind Videoleseraeume im didaktischem Wuestengelb das Ergebnis. Das Bildschoene obsiegt, die Information wird fett und echt und gross. Das ist wohl "der lange Schatten von Kultur".** Oder ist es "der lange Schatten der toetlichen Loveparade"? Wir werden zu unseren eigenen Ethnologen. Claude Levi-Strauss (der Ethnologe und Anthropologe), einer der Kolonialherren des Strukturalismus, wuerde seinen Orden*** fuer diese Erkenntnis nicht geopfert haben. Bleibt alles beim Alten, bei diesem alten Strukturalist und Vorbild fuer die Kuratorinnen, die es in dieser Stadt dank ihrer Beharrlichkeit zu etwas gebracht haben.*** Keine Bewegung oder nur im Stillstand, also vorgetaeuschte Bewegung inmitten einer Parade, deren Karnevalszeit nun vorbei ist oder sich in die Fitnestuerme (McFit) zurueckzieht. Da sollte man vielleicht auch hingehen, um im naechsten Buergerkrieg gegen die baldige Berufsarmee der Deutschen mithalten zu koennen. Es gibt einen Unterscheid zwischen nicht hingehen und hierbleiben! Westbam s agte, die Loveparade habe nach 1989 d n Kr eg be nd t Interessant ist, dass zur "Aufklaerung" der polizeilichen Loveparade nun Aufzeichnungen von Videoueberwachungskameras benoetigt werden. Noetig waere aber, die korporatistiscnen Verstrickungen vom Duisburger Kotau vor den Toten Dr. Mottes ("Rette Deine Stadt", vor allem meine Clubs) bis zur einfachen Massenwarenabfertigung ("Wir bedauern zutiefst das Leid, das den Menschen widerfahren ist.") aufzulisten. "Wir bedauern zutiefst das Leid, das den Menschen widerfahren ist." liest sich wie das Schuldeingestaendnis der Deutschen nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg, nur/blosz/ausschlieszlich Krieg gefuehrt zu haben. Insofern ist ohnehin dem Technomusikphilosophen Westbam zu widersprechem. Der Krieg hat erst begonnen. DJs legen bald nicht mehr nur in Afghanistan auf. Die Parade der Toten waere der theatralische Ausdruck. Noch 2-3 Tage vor Duisburg zerissen sich Kleinstaedte um eine moegliche "Loveparade" in ihrer Kommune, um den Hals nicht voll genug zu kriegen? Um bitter noetigen Umsatz zu machen. Dafuer machen wir das Dorf schoener und malen Flaechen gruen an.**** offspacesals3.saeule Das sagt nicht nur sogar sondern explizit auf die eigene Situation gemuenzt http://www.wirsindwoanders.de. Wobei sie eben nicht woanders sind, sondern noch nicht so richtig dazu gehoeren, also noch nicht so richtig da sind: "Kunst als zunaechst zweckfreies Experimentierfeld fuer gesellschaftliche Innovation." Es wird behauptet, dass "kulturelle Grundlagenforschung betrieben" wuerde, "aus der Galerien, Museen, Wirtschaft und Politik taeglich" schoepften. Schoepf, schoepf! Die Nachbarn beschweren sich schon uebers Soho House: http://www.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1008/msg00029.html , die Admiralsbruecke nervt und ist der Kleingaertner-Westhafen oder mittlerweile auch Osthafen nach dem Motto "Frankfurt/Main". Und waehrenddessen steigt die Quote der Torpedierungen emanzipatorischer Projekte seitens der echten, nicht der Stilpolizei, wie in Berlin z.B. Schwarze Risse, die mittlerweile halbe Computerpools an die "Abteilung Linksextremismus" des Landeskriminalamtes verloren. Wir sind einaeugig, die sind blind. Das heisst aber nicht, dass wir die Vorhut waeren. Gerade weil soviel Leute da sind, wird es immer enger und nicht wei r, Ue erbe oel erung der In ens adt. Street Art ist auch keine Loesung Und Broncos Anti-Streetart- Anti-Musical?***** Im Ergebnis, im Resultat und als Output doch wieder nur die kulturelle Variante der Kritik innerhalb des Grabes Kultur. Was das Touristische angeht, ist es notwendig, als Ware Fakt, was Migration angeht, das ist eine andere Kategorie. Wer sie vermengt spricht nicht von demselben und will hybridisieren. Frau kann von der These ausgehen, dass wir uns in den uns enteigneten Raeumen ("Ich will auch eine 200qm Wohnung! Warum nicht eine mit 2000qm?") nicht selber umbringen, sondern dazu gebracht werden.****** ___________________________________ * http://www.karriere.de/beruf/sie-m-ssen-die-kreative-langeweile-ertragen-10140 ** http://www.br-online.de/br-alpha/der-lange-schatten-von-kultur/ethnologie-frank-heidemann-videothek-ID126113024842.xml *** http://www.stylesreportberlin.com/index.php?module=interview&id=258 **** http://bleu-equipage.com/WordPress/wp-content/parking_day_paris1.jpg ***** http://www.flickr.com/photos/aguycalledbronco/4941441370/ ****** http://initiativeouryjalloh.wordpress.com/ ******* 7 Sterne fuer kein Halleluja Yelena Simc Das T-Shirt zum Text HIER: "Touri Go Homme" von www.t-shirtz.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Rezension von Sabine Nuss. _Copyright & Copyriot_ 45 Man erinnert sich dunkel: Eigentum als stets soziales Verhaeltnis. Und das "urspr?ngliche Eigentum nun", so fuehrt Nuss aus, "ist nach Marx ?nichts als Verhalten des Menschen zu seinen nat?rlichen Produk-tionsbedingungen als ihm geh?rigen, als den seinen, als mit seinem eigenen Da-sein vorausgesetzten; (...)" (Marx 1857/58, 1953: 391, Herv. d. Verf.). Wobei ?mit seinem Dasein vorausgesetzt" meint, dass, ebenso, wie der Mensch ?da" ist, wenn er auf die Welt kommt, auch seine nat?rliche Umgebung existiert. Der Mensch ist der organische Leib und die Natur ist der anorganische Leib des Menschen, sozusagen seine Fortsetzung. Die Aneignung der Natur geht in dieser urspr?ngli-chen Eigentumsform ?ber ihre Umformung vonstatten, beispielweise durch das Ernten von Mais und Verbacken zu Fladen oder durch das Jagen von Tieren usw. Die Erde ist Basis, aus ihr wird sich unbesehen bedient. Wer nun was produziert (die gesellschaftliche Arbeitsteilung: die einen jagen, die anderen sammeln) und wer was konsumiert, dies ist nach Kriterien vermittelt wie Alter, Gr??e, Konstitu-tion und individuelles Bed?rfnis. Die Formen der nat?rlichen Produktions-bedingungen sind doppelt, einmal besteht die Form aus der Daseinsweise des Individuums als Glied eines Gemeinwesens, zum anderen aus dem Zugang zu Grund und Boden, welches das Gemeinwesen besitzt, dessen Mitglied das Indivi-duum ist (Marx 1857/58, 1953: 391). Marx unterscheidet drei verschiedene Eigentumsformen, die sich alle aus die-ser urspr?nglichen Grundform des Eigentums heraus entwickelt haben: der asia-tische Typus (1), der r?misch-griechische, kurz antike (2) und der germanische Typus (3). Dabei sind diese Formen nicht als historische Abfolge verschiedener Eigentumspraxen zu verstehen, auch nicht als regional unterschiedlich aufgetre-tene Eigentumsformen.24 Vielmehr geht es hier um begrifflich-kategoriale Gr?-?en, sie stellen ?theoretisch abstrahierte Kurzformeln der unterschiedlichen Ver-h?ltnisse dar, in denen die Menschen zu ihren urspr?nglichen Produktions-bedingungen, also zu Grund und Boden, stehen" (Siegelberg 1997/98: 2) und, so ist hinzuzuf?gen, in denen die Menschen zur Gemeinschaft stehen. Gemeinsam ist diesen ?Kurzformeln", dass die Individuen nur als festes Mitglied einer ihnen ?bergeordneten Gemeinschaft (?ber)leben k?nnen, da sie nur als solches einen Zugang zur Natur haben. Die Unterschiede zwischen diesen vorkapitalistischen Produktionsweisen machen sich nun daran fest, wie sich die Individuen jeweils zu ihren Produktionsmitteln verhalten, dies wiederum h?ngt davon ab, wie das Ver-h?ltnis des Einzelnen zur Gemeinschaft geregelt ist. ________________________ 24 So schreibt Wesel bezogen auf fr?he Gesellschaften und den Begriff der asiatischen Produktionsweise: ?Das Adjektiv `asiatisch' ist dazu noch irref?hrend, denn diese Art und Weise der Produktion findet sich ?berall. Trotzdem bleibe ich dabei. Mit einer leichten Verbeugung vor dem gro?en alten Mann, der diesen Begriff gepr?gt hat. Man hat sich an die Bezeichnung gew?hnt. Und es ist noch niemandem eine bessere einge-fallen" (Wesel 1985: 51). 153 Eigentumsverh?ltnisse sind somit nicht Resultat von philosophischen Erw?-gungen ?ber Richtig und Falsch, sondern entsprechen den jeweils herrschenden Produktionsverh?ltnissen: ?In jeder historischen Epoche hat sich das Eigentum anders und unter ganz verschiede-nen gesellschaftlichen Verh?ltnissen entwickelt. Das b?rgerliche Eigentum definieren hei?t somit nichts anderes, als alle gesellschaftlichen Verh?ltnisse der b?rgerlichen Produktion darstellen" (Marx 1846, 1972: 165). Im Folgenden soll nun in Anlehnung an die Kritik der Politischen ?konomie von Karl Marx eine Konzeption des modernen, b?rgerlichen Eigentums heraus gearbeitet werden, in der die diskutierten epistemologischen Probleme entspre-chend ber?cksichtigt werden. 154" Alle Server, Rechner, alle im-materiellen Gueter beruhen, so folgt, in unserer Epoche auf der Trennung der Produzentinnen von den Mitteln ihrer Reproduktion und damit auf der Trennung der Konsumentinnen von der von ihen selbst hergestellten Dinge. "7 Charakteristiken des b?rgerlichen Eigentums 7.1 Die Trennung der Produzenten von den Mitteln ihrer Reproduktion Die Kategorie des Eigentums insbesondere des b?rgerlichen Eigentums hat bei Marx einen zentralen Stellenwert. In verschiedensten Schriften setzt er sich damit auseinander (vgl. auch Gey 1980), wobei allerdings ein Wandel ?ber die Zeit fest-zustellen ist. So ist die Eigentumsfrage in den Fr?hschriften noch stark an ein spezifisches Menschenbild gekoppelt. In den ??konomisch-philosophischen Manuskripten" von 1844 kn?pft der junge Marx an die Feuerbach'sche Anthro-pologie und erweitert sie: Marx fasst hier den Menschen nicht nur wie Feuerbach als sinnliches, sondern auch als gegenst?ndlich-t?tiges Gattungswesen, das seine Potenzen gerade in der Bearbeitung der Natur entwickelt (Marx 1844, 1977: 515). Der kapitalistische Produktionsprozess bzw. das kapitalistische Privateigentum trennt den Menschen aber von der Natur. Die Dinge, die der Arbeiter produziert, schafft er nicht f?r sich und seinen Bedarf, sondern f?r den Kapitalisten, den Privateigent?mer der Produktionsbedingungen. Die vom Arbeiter produzierten Gegenst?nde und die Produktionsmittel treten ihm somit unabh?ngig von ihrer vielf?ltigen, unterschiedlichen Substanz als Kapital entgegen. Der Mensch, sein ganzes Sein und Tun, ist reduziert auf eine sachliche, ihm fremde Welt (Marx 1844, 1977: 520). Es muss daher darum gehen, das ?allgemeine Wesen des Privat-eigentums, wie es sich als Resultat der entfremdeten Arbeit ergeben hat, in seinem Verh?ltnis zum wahrhaft menschlichen und sozialen Eigentum" (Marx 1844, 1977: 521) zu bestimmen. In dieser fr?hen Eigentumskonzeption unterliegt Marx selbst noch der ahistorischen Vorstellung einer Dichotomie von entfremdetem und nicht entfremdetem Eigentum bzw. setzt er ein ?wahres Eigentum" dem kapitalistischen Privateigentum gegen?ber, welches den Menschen von seinem eigentlichen We-sen entfremde. In der Literatur ist umstritten, ob Marx in den sp?teren Werken immer noch ein Menschenbild voraussetzt oder ob er es abgelegt hat.' In der ?Deutschen Ideologie" jedenfalls, die nur ein Jahr nach Entstehung der ??konomisch-philo-sophischen Manuskripte" verfasst wird, schreibt Marx gemeinsam mit Engels eine Kritik der ?neuesten deutschen Philosophie in ihren Repr?sentanten Feuerbach, B. Bauer und Stirner" und kritisiert in diesem Kontext das Konstrukt ?Wesen des ________________________ 1 Bez?glich der Auffassung, es habe hier einen theoretischen Bruch gegeben, gibt es gro?e Meinungsverschiedenheiten, dabei reicht die Spannbreite der Auffassungen von v?lli-ger Kontinuit?t bis hin zu starkem Bruch, vgl. dazu ausf?hrlicher das 4. Kapitel ?Der Bruch mit dem theoretischen Feld der politischen ?konomie" bei Heinrich (2004). 155" Susi Meyer/Ali Emas Sabine Nuss. _Copyright & Copyriot: Aneignungskonflikte um geistiges Eigentum im informationellen Kapitalismus_.

Die Zerstoerung der Solarzellenfabrik in der Stadt Kassel bei Frankfurt am Main durch Angelernte, Angestellte und Arbeitslose aus der Region. Geschildert und zum Besten der vernuenftigen Mitarbeiter nicht veroeffentlicht von der SMA GmbH, fruehere Inhaberin der Fabrik Mehrere unserer Mitarbeiter und spaeter auch die Bundespolizei, zunaechst waere hier die Bundespolizei-Fliegerstaffel Fuldatal zu nennen, erschienen mit iPads und Waffen (aber von den am Abend zuvor von den benachbarten Firmen mobilisierten Mitarbeitern, die sich zum Beistand verpflichtet hatten, erschien niemand). Die Geschaeftsleitung nahm die Waffen in Empfang und liesz sie saemtlich nach der Reihe in der Lobby der Fabrik unmittelbar vor dem Empfang aufreihen, von wo die Gaenge in die Montagehalle und die Bueros fuehren. Vor die Schiesswaffen wurde ein Tisch gestellt, mit der noetigen Munition versehen. Der Vorsitzende des oertlichen Schiessvereins wurde ersucht, das Laden etc. zu taetigen, zugleich wurde ihm aufs Strengste angedeutet, niemandem ein Gewehr auszuhaendigen, bis es befohlen werde. Den Mitarbeitern wurde gesagt, die Gewehre nicht ohne Ansage zu benutzen, vorerst sollte jeder Versuch zur Verstaendigung und guetlicher Abwehr getroffen werden; es sei sich allen Schiessens zu enthalten, da leicht Unschuldige und nur Neugierige getroffen werden koennten, und wir ueberhaupt alles aufbieten wollten, um die Aufregung zu beschwichtigen. Von den Waffen sollte nur im aeussersten Fall der Bedrohung Gebrauch gemacht werden, im Fall der Notwehr -- ueberhaupt war die Anlage, in der wir uns befanden als letzter Zufluchtsort bezeichnet worden, da wir der Ueberzeugung waren, hier koenne man sich am besten verteidigen und halten, auch die Fabrik am besten schuetzen. Es war, wie bemerkt, der Teil der Anlage, zu dem von aussen der einzige Eingang in das Gebaeude fuehrte; da sich in diesem Trackt ein Aufzug befand, um im Haus Anlieferungen heraufzubringen, so beherrschten wir den unteren Raum. In die obere Etage hatten wir Kondensatoren, Kollektoren mit Alurahmen, Maschinenteile etc. bringen lassen, um diese auf die Angreifer herabzustuerzen. [...] Die Besatzungen der Hubschrauber uebermittelten die Nachricht, die Gruppe sei von Bettenhausen nach Rothenditmold, wo sie Verstaerkung holte, von da zum Kulturzentrum Schlachthof (30 Minuten entfernt) gezogen. Gegen vierzehn Uhr spitzte die Lage zu, als per SMS weitergegeben wurde, sie kommen ueber den Fluss, und dies war tatsaechlich der Fall. [...] Als die Gruppe sich naeherte, kommen von der anderen Seite die Security der Protex, der Praesident des Bundessozialgerichts Peter Masuch, die Manager des City Point, der Galeria Kaufhof, von Mercedes Benz und BMW, der Regierungspraesident, der Ehrenpraesident des Deutschen Industrie- und Handelskammertages Ludwig Braun, der Polizeipraesident, der Leiter der Kunsthalle Fridericianum, dessen Name momentan nicht praesent ist und etwa zwanzig Ordnungsamtsbedienstete und Polizeifunker, unter Anfuehrung des Oberst d.R. Gerd Reinecker. Wir empfingen sie jubelnd, da es mit den eigenen Kraeften nun besser aussah. Jeder, der SMA zu Hilfe kam, so wie alle Mitarbeiter, wurde mit einer weissen Armbinde, die eligst aus Hemden, Verpackungsmaterial usw. geschnitten wurden, versehen. Unter wuetendem Geschrei kam jetzt die Gruppe naeher. Als diese etwa fuenfzig Schritte vor der Gelaendeeinfahrt, die wir oeffnen liessen, und in dessen Naehe ein Transparent mit den Worten "Schont das Eigentum!" angebracht war -- entfernt war, ging die Geschaeftsleitung ihnen entgegen, die Schusswesten ablegend und sprach sie an: "Ihr seht, wir empfangen Euch friedlich ohne Polizei, wir wollen uns miteinander verstaendigen! Was wollt ihr von uns?" -- Was die Geschaeftsleitung weiter sagte, wurde mit verworrenem Geschrei unterbrochen, aus dem man nur die Worte vernahm: Wir wollen die Maschinen zerstoeren, wir wollen deutsche Freiheit! Auch die Manager des City Point und der Vorstand von Krauss-Maffei Wegmann versuchten vergebens Verstaendigung. -- Die Gebaerden gegen uns wurden immer drohender, unsere Mitarbeiter, die sich Anfangs an der Einfahrt aufgehalten hatten, erkannten den Moment zum Schutz der Arbeitgeber, sie deckten die Geschaeftsleitung mit ihren Koerpern -- die Gruppe begann nun den Angriff, draengte unsere Mitarbeiter zur Einfahrt zurueck, die jedoch hier verharrten, und der heftigste, erbitterste Kampf begann, unbeschreiblich in der gegenseitigen Wut; die Gruppe wurde aber tapfer zurueckgeschlagen. Von unseren Mitarbeitern hatten viele heftige Schlaege bekommen, einer, Herr Sommer, taumelte dem Direktor ohnmaechtig in die Arme. Er wurde vom Roten Kreuz versorgt und kam zu unserer Freude nach mehreren Erfrischungen wieder zu sich. [...] Es wurde unter ihnen aber nun die Meinung und die Erkenntnis verbreitet, dass sie zu schwach waeren und zum Gelingen ihrer destruktiven Plaene bei unserem Widerstand Verstaerkung haben muessten; -- dieselbe blieb nicht lange aus. Nach dem Stillstand von vielleicht 45 Minuten rueckte die Gruppe erneut aus. Der Kampf war diesmal heftig und fuer uns hoechst bedenklich, da ueberhaupt von nun an ununterbrochen Steine hagelten, wozu nicht nur die Haufen angefahrener Steine des Pflasters der Fussgaengerzone, sondern selbst Mauersteine durch Einreissen der Umfassung des Gelaendes verwendet wurden. Wir hatten zwar die Meuterer von der Einfahrt wieder zurueckgeschlagen, fuehlten aber durchaus bei der sich immer mehr vergroessernden Menge der Rebellen, und da das Publikum besonders durch Werfen, was selbst Frauen und Kinder taten, gegen uns mehr und mehr Partei ergriff, welches, wie man erkennen konnte, und zumal uns auch jetzt die Leute der Security zum groessten Teil verlieszen, dass wir nicht durchkommen wuerden. Bisher hatte sich der Kampfplatz an und in der Naehe der Einfahrt gehalten, von nun aber umzingelten die Rebellen unser von allen Seiten freies Grundstueck, und hatten um so besseren Spielraum, da dasselbe von hinten von einem terrassierten Berg begrenzt ist. Der Praesident des Bundessozialgerichts, der durchblickte, dass auf keinen Sieg unsererseits zu hoffen sei, sprach die Geschaeftsleitung mit den Worten an: "Wollen wir wegen Maschinen und wegen Moebeln, die ersetzt werden koennen, unser und anderer Leben, das Leben von Familienvaetern aufs Spiel setzen? Waehlen wir, da es noch geht, den Abzug, und weichen wir der Unmoeglichkeit, uns zu halten!" Die Geschaeftsleitung konnte den Worten des vom Haus geschaetzten Freundes, die bei dessen uns bekanntem Scharfblick, bei der auch in Gefahr vorhandenen Ueberlegenheit nur um so staerkeren Eindruck auf die Geschaeftsleitung machten, unsere Anerkennung nicht versagen, und bat ihn, sich mit noch drei Freunden, dem Manager des City Point, documenta Geschaeftsfuehrer Herrn Bernd Leifeld und der Bundespolizei, zu einer Beratung zusammen zu finden, deren Resultat sich die Geschaeftsfuehrung unbedingt fuegen wuerde, und werde beschlossen, das Feld zu raeumen, ohne Widerrede oder spaeteren Vorwurf abziehen. Nur gibt die Geschaeftsleitung zu bedenken, ohne wirklich jetzt noch in dieser Lage, wo es sich nicht mehr um Maschinen usw., sondern um Menschenleben handelt, auf das Eigentum Wert zu legen, dass, wenn wir siegen, Chaoten und der Anarchie eine Wunde versetzt, waehrend sie nach unsere Niederlage noch krasser sich entwickeln werde. [...] Die Rebellen drangen indessen in das der Strasse zu gelegene Fabrikgebaeude ein. Es befand sich hier ein Warenlager, das gaenzlich geraeumt wurde. Die Container mit Waren wurden geoeffnet und mit vielen anderen Gegenstaenden in den Bach, der am Werk vorbeilief, geworfen. Desgleichen der Bestand der Remise mit Wagen, Gabelstaplern usw., die sie in Stuecke zertruemmerten, ja, die Monturen im Wagen und Gabelstapler zerschnitten und alles ins Wasser warfen. Die Porsches und VWs, denen sie die Reifen zerstechen wollten, waren, um noetigen Falls die Flucht ermoeglichen zu koennen, an einem dritten Ort verborgen. Die Geschaeftsleitung bestieg den obersten Boden des Fabrikgbaeudes, wo man durch die Oeffnung des Daches den Schauplatz der Vernichtung und des Kampfplatzes uebersah, aber auch ringsum auf den Bergen die grosse Menschenmasse, die denselben umgab, fuer die, abgesehen von den Taetern, die ganze Sache in Schauspiel geworden war. Die Geschaeftsleitung war nun vollkommen ueberzeugt, dass wir verloren waren. Als man herabsteigt, hoert man an einem Laden der Fabrik mit heftigen Schlaegen andonnern. Er liegt auf der Bergseite, von welcher demselben leicht beizukommen ist. Man hatte diesen Laden vorher selbst gelueftet, um dem Management und den Mitarbeitern schlimmsten Falls einen Rueckzug offen zu halten. Ungluecklicherweise hatten die Streikenden diesen Ort zum Eindringen gewaehlt, unser letzter Zufluchtsort verlor an seiner Sicherheit, die Mittel der Polizei waren gaenzlich verbraucht und den Revoluzzern als Antwort auf ihre Schuesse entgegengebracht, von denen mehrere durch die Fenster gingen und einer der Mitarbeiter am Backen gestreift wurde. Jede Minute Verzug brachte die groesste Lebensgefahr, denn wir waeren, hier ueberfallen, sicher umgebracht worden. In dieser auessersten Bedraengung entriss der Direktor einem der Mitarbeiter die Waffe (eine Wasserwaage), dem kaufmaennischen Angestellten Mueller, der seinen Posten am Counter sinnvollerweise verlassen hatte, ein weisses Tuch. "Mir nach!" rief er, zu Tuer hinausstuerzend und gegen die Streikenden gewendet: "Friede, Friede!" Stoppt die Gewalt! Verschont Menschenleben! Wir verlassen unser Gelaende!" -- Hierauf ein einziger Moment Pause. Allgemeiner Jubel und Hurrageschrei, Steinhagel und heftiges Schusswaffenfeuer begleiteten uns bis zur Einfahrt hinaus; aus der Gruppe von der Terrasse her konnte man den Ruf hoeren: "Lasst sie nicht fort!" In geschlossenem Trupp erreichten wir die Einfahrt, ein grosses Publikum vor uns her, aber auch bemerkend, dass wir verfolgt wurden, beschleunigten wir unsere Schritte, beschimpft und bedroht, durch die Menge eilend. Wir wurden noch ueber 10 Minuten verfolgt, wobei man die Rufe, der mit Gewehrschuessen begleitet wurde, hoeren konnte: "Haltet die Schweine auf, schlagt sie tot!"

Zweite 0 Tours Nochmal umsonst und freie Nicht-Fuehrung durch Museen usw. in Berlin EmpfaengerInnen von Arbeitslosengeld II haben freien Eintritt in die Museen der Stadt Berlin, also die Sammlungen, die der Staat unterhaelt. Es sind die Etablissements, welche von Steuergeldern, also einem Teil des Lohns der ArbeiterInnen und Angestellten finanziert werden. Auf den Tickets steht dann paradoxerweise 0,- EURO. Selbstverstaendlich werden nicht nur "die staatlichen" besucht und besichtigt. Es geht eher um den Austausch und die entspannte Diskussion, weniger um die Bustour und Gruppenzwang und nicht um eine Besucherschule, aber mit dem Anspruch, zu erkennen: 0 Fuehrung. Das ganze hat mit irgendwelchem "Kulturellen Kapial" aber nichts zu tun -- wenn ueberhaupt exisitiert soetwas wie kulturelles Vermoegen fuer das Leute ihres Anlegen. Aber, Gold oder Bilder sind auf diese Weise eben nur Anlage. Museeen sind im Gegensatz dazu, wenn auch _noch_ privat, das Eigentum aller von morgen. Die Auguststrasse in Berlin ("I'm not a tourist - I live here") macht das schon klar, sie lebt ausschliesslich von und mit den Geldboersen und wird irgendwann musealisiert sein. Bitte fuer das Ticket ins Museum an den Nachweis denken (am besten Kopie des ALG II-Bescheids/Sozialhilfebescheid). Alle anderen Orte wie Strassenzuege und Gebaeude, von aussen ohnehin, sind (quasi) frei. Termine: Fr., 10.09.2010, 18:00 Uhr *ACHTUNG! neue Uhrzeit* Nochmal, weil ausgefallen!

This second edition of?Flux/S, under the prophetic title 'Drafts Establishing Future', ties in with the arrival of the first inhabitants, and with this first interaction between man and environment.

Flux/S???Drafts Establishing Future The second edition of the cross-disciplinary arts festival Flux/S will once again draw an international group of artists, architects, performers, dancers, writers and musicians to Strijp-S, the former Philips industrial site in Eindhoven, Netherlands. During the space of four days, they will react to the possibilities and challenges of this new and upcoming cultural heart of the city, by means of 35 installations, artistic and musical performances and interventions spread over 20,000 square metres of exhibition area and two hectares of outside space. ? Programme highlights ? In his?Penwaldseries, Tony Orrico uses his own body ? and his perfect control thereof ? as an instrument with which to depict the natural but delicate relationship between body, mind and environment. With the installation12_series, Telcosystems shows how the apparently contradictory combination of factual algorithmic structures and unpredictable behaviour is of fundamental importance for creative development. Encouraged and guided by the choices of visitors, artists collective?Conditional Design?will give an entirely new meaning to 1100 square metres of floor area in the SBP building.

With Love from China! Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani ---------------------------------------------------------- www.fischerelsani.net ---------------------------------------------------------- DISCOVERIES 2010: RE-VALUE An Exhibition and Conference ShContemporary, September 9-12, 2010 www.shcontemporary.info DISCOVERIES is a thematic exhibition and conference at ShContemporary. Last year, DISCOVERIES09?s theme asked an important question, ?What is contemporary art?? The exhibition responded with works by Anri Sala, Joseph Kosuth, Fiona Tan, Heman Chong, MadeIn, Feng Mengbo and many others. The conference consisted of formal lectures by ten critics, artists, and curators, including Boris Groys, Martha Rosler, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Raqs Media Collective. The proceedings have recently been published by Sternberg Press, titled ?e-flux journal: What is Contemporary Art?? This year, DISCOVERIES2010 hones its sights on the market. Since the art market has become larger in recent times than ever before, it wields more power to determine what is deemed ?valuable?. What does the concept of ?value? mean in art, and in the art market? DISCOVERIES 2010: Re-Value is an exhibition and conference that attempts to address this question. Mami Kataoka, Manray Hsu, and Colin Chinnery have invited 26 artists whose works ask pertinent questions about the meaning of ?value? from different perspectives. The exhibition shall be presented in the spectacular Main Hall of the Shanghai Exhibition Center.

Our actions are categorised and labeled for reference, sign posting and evaluation. The Network breathes and crackles between these spaces, it makes the virtual tangible. The Network overcomes these boundaries by supporting difference, tolerance and equity between individuals, machines and their actions. The Network is a production tool for artisans, a calibrating tool for media communicators and an ecological template for our continued survival and reinvention. It is as much a social mechanism as it is a cultural barometer for these plugged in data intensive times. The Call Out : SCREENGRAB is now entering its second year with an international call out for the AUS$2000 New Media Arts Prize and the companion exhibition in October for short listed applicants. We invite digital practitioners working in screen based media to submit works on the theme of THE NETWORK. All forms of screen based media are encouraged including multi-channel video, digital illustration, audio sculpture, photography, generative media, 2D & 3D animation. Existing worx and those specifically designed for the award must address the theme of THE NETWORK to be eligible for the New Media Arts award.

Network is now opening up, and those who are interested in "art and renewable energy technologies", are very welcome to join the network and to subscribe to the Renewable mailinglist (initiated and hosted by RIXC, administrated by members of the network): db.x-i.net/mailman/listinfo/renewable As for more recent activities of this network, this summer various events took place in different locations, that was related to specific "energy" topic -- FOOD AS ENERGY: * The Herbologies/Foraging Networks programme -- that took place in Helsinki, Kurzeme region of Latvia, and ISEA2010, exploring the cultural traditions and knowledge of herbs, edible and medicinal plants, within the contemporary context of online networks, open information-sharing and biological technologies. Project was initiated by Andrew Gryf Paterson (SCO/FI), Ulla Taipale / Capsula (FI/ES) and Signe Pucena / SERDE (LV). pixelache.ac/helsinki/herbologies-foraging-networks herbologies-foraging.net/ * The Wedding Between Art and Agriculture -- an event celebrating five years, since the experimental platform Kultivator has initiated, attended to- and executed projects that examines the context and cross-fertilization between agriculture and art. It took place in July,Dyestad, ?land, Sweden. kultivator.org * Super Meal -- an art project by Erik Sjodin that revolves around growing, cooking and eating the super-waterplant Azolla -- one of the world fastest growing plants.

They are vertical, hydroponic, modular, "low-energy high-yield" window gardens built using low-impact or recycled local materials. Mikko Laajola, Andrew Gryf Paterson and Niko Punin produced and developed a grand 81 bottle installation in Kiasma takaikkuna for 5 weeks, preluding and part of Pixelache Helsinki Festival 2010. our.windowfarms.org/instructions/ * * * and TONIGHT: is the opening of an other "food as energy" project - Windowfarms Riga project, entitled "The Long Bean" - see below more info.

City inhabitants of Riga participated in the creating of this installation and it will be on display during White Night 2010 contemporary culture forum on September 4, 2010. Anyone was invited to participate in THE LONG BEAN (WINDOWFARMS RIGA) project. The only conditions were: the plant should be grown in a pot and be a vegetable or a seasoning plant. Everyone was welcome to bring these potted plants to the Artists' Union House at 11. Novembra krastmala 35 on September 3 and 4 from 12:00 till 18:00. In the six-metre-high windows of RIXC Media space, the pots now are arranged on a scaffold, thus creating a spectacular wall of greenery in the very middle of the city, which will also be lit up in the hours of darkness. Each pot with a home-grown plant provided by the cityfolk will become an important element in this common piece of art - the more pots, the larger the installation! During the night from September 4 to 5, in the framework of Survival Kit 2 festival and White Night forum, THE LONG BEAN (WINDOWFARMS RIGA) installation windows will be made accessible both from the outside and the inside, with additional events on the inside: * Windowfarms Finland activists and designers Niko Punin and Mikko Laajola (FI) are invited to meet with Windowfarms Riga team and to present publicly their Windowfarms Finland project that took place in Kiasma, Helsinki at the beginning of this year and in particular to talk and introduce the technology of it - hydroponic gardening systems and the lighting used in Kiasma. * Windowfarms Riga installation will be also complemented by video interviews with contributors of the project, filmed throughout the summer. * Furthermore, in cooperation with Survival Kit 2 festival, a cook of Mexican origin Javier Garcia will offer an original campaign - performance for Riga White Night - "White Night for a rainy day!". His intention is to create compositions/pictures out of groceries with the help of a team of assistants and a vacuum packaging device and package them into ecological and artistically designed "survival kits". The result will be on display at the venue of the performance during White Night. At the end of the event visitors can take the lovely survival kits home or eat them on the spot. * * * The installation will be exhibited in RIXC Media Space, 11. Novembra krastmala 35 (entrance from Minsterejas street), Riga, September 4, 2010, from 20:00 till 2:00 The project takes place in the framework of White Night forum (September 4-5, 2010) and Survival Kit 2 festival (September 4-11, 2010).

Our growth is due in large part to the contributions of guest curators who have shared their expertise and energy with us, including Joshua Noble, Kim Cascone, Paul Prudence, Rob Cruickshank, CONT3XT.NET, Carrie Gates and David McCallum. We would like to continue to collaborate with members of the digital art community, and are inviting proposals from interested artists or curators to work with us on future issues of Vague Terrain. Journal Format: The best way to get a sense of our project is to browse the archives. Each issue is a mix of essays, interviews, in-depth documentation of multimedia projects, broader surveys of art practices and EP-length audio art and experimental music releases. We aren't locked to a specific formula and have featured issues almost entirely dedicated to article-length essays or music. Each issue should feature 8-15 contributors. Schedule: We are looking for guest curators for issues to be published in January 2011 and onward. A curator will need about 90 days of lead time to organize an issue and establishing communication with the invited artists at the beginning of the process is one of the most involved tasks. The guest curator will work with the Vague Terrain team to set up a timeline for participating artists to follow. Responsibilities ? A guest curator is responsible for the following: -Writing an initial statement and using it to invite artists to participate in the issue -Ensuring that participating artists understand our submission guidelines (we provide documentation) -Ensuring that incoming submissions are approximately on schedule and complete -Writing a forward to frame the issue theme and contextualize included work Support ? Vague Terrain offers the following assistance with the above duties of the curator: -Provide documentation regarding submission guidelines -Arrange for the proofreading and editing of content -Organizing and publishing all the content that the curator has solicited -An FTP account for the issue through which contributors can upload their work -Once the issue is launched we will promote the material through various online art/media networks Interested curators and digital artists should email us with the following: -a brief abstract describing their proposed theme and how it relates to their research -An artistic or scholarly CV or a link to a personal website -Optional: a list of artists whose work would be representative of the proposed topic Deadline: This is an open, ongoing call. However curators interested in the January slot should contact us ASAP as we'll be selecting the curator for that issue in mid September. Submissions and inquires should be sent to submit@vagueterrain.net From marc.garrett at furtherfield.org Fri Sep 10 22:51:25 2010 From: marc.garrett at furtherfield.org (marc garrett) Date: Fri Sep 10 22:51:47 2010 Subject: [spectre] Interview with Johannes Grenzfurthner of monochrom Part 1. In-Reply-To: <93e8b5e64d3f594562dacfbc832b4cb7.squirrel@webmail.no-log.org> References: <93e8b5e64d3f594562dacfbc832b4cb7.squirrel@webmail.no-log.org> Message-ID: <4C8A9A4D.2030100@furtherfield.org> Sorry for any cross posting... Interview with Johannes Grenzfurthner of monochrom Part 1. Marc Da Costa interviews the ever dynamic Johannes Grenzfurthner, founder of monochrom. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=408 This is the first of three interviews, where Grenzfurthner begins by talking about the project 'Soviet Unterzoegersdorf'; the fake history of the "last existing appanage republic of the USSR", also an adventure-game 'Sector 1 & II'. We look forward to publishing part 2 & 3 of the interviews during the next few weeks. Grenzfurthner has collaborated with groups such as ubermorgen, Billboard Liberation Front, Esel and Mego (label). Grenzfurthner writes for various online/print magazines and radio stations (e.g. ORF, Telepolis, Boing Boing). Grenzfurthner has served on a number of art juries (e.g. Steirischer Herbst, Graz). He holds a professorship for art theory and art practice at the University of Applied Sciences, Graz, Austria and is a lecturer at University of Arts and Industrial Design in Linz, Austria. Since 1993, the Monochrom members have devoted themselves to the grey zones where systems intersect: the art (market), politics, economics, pop, gaiety, vanity, good clean fanaticism, crisis, language, culture, self-content, identity, utopia, mania and despair. The technique underlying Monochrom's work is that of being and working in the fields of Pop/avant-garde, theory/reflection, interventionism/politics, gaiety/lust/tragedy, (self-)configuration/mystification. The project Monochrom pushes into and beyond these fields is, 'networking' events, people, possibilities, material, impetus and identities."

NOTHING FOR NOTHING! I DO NOT REGRET NOTHING! Message-ID: <4C8BDAE7.6070209@gmail.com> From September 11. 2001 to September 11. 2009, when I wrote my "Letter to M.". I participated in the cultural domain in France, attempting to transform the legacy of modernity? where only oportunists and careerists still pursued the same non-existant written formula. On July 11. 2010, I launched the call for LEF (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity*), which allowed me to view 5000 contacts on my Facebook profile, but has not collected the necessary donations through myPaypal account, which would go towards embarking on a new creation: 2002 From the image to the virtual // Thinking the screen 2003 Walter Benjamin >< Marcel Duchamp 2004 Being = Network 2005 5C : Am?rica ?

It will continue privately to experience what I have screening on the Montparnasse Tower's urban screen in December 2004: ? You are the network ! Mobile Wireless Digital ?. Curiously, my criticisms of 'misery in the digital environment' have led the network from the DMDTS at the Ministry of French Culture, in the past 15 years, to get me some financial crumbs, thinking it would be enough to erase a liability of incompetence. Meanwhile a delusional Frenchy-French? mode is trying desperately to limit space in a box, stonewalling and using other voidemty languages, without any concrete proposal to renew artistic practices in the face of techno-scientific evolution. The thieves of ideas and projects are truly insulting too little, compared to 50 million euros for the French pavilion for the World's Fair, the global ecological and social crisis, which prompted me to claim for The art of silence, since the centenary of the first manifesto of avant-garde. Even this will not keep me from continuing my projects: the Global Poetic System during the Berlin Marathon, the proposed experiment on iPhone and soon iPad Cosmos 69 back. Similarly, my project around the "M's Book" reveals that after 64 collaborations with 100 entries. The 0000 will be well placed in space, 15 years after my idea of The Machine Book, at the show entitled ArtistBook International in December at the Centre Beaubourg. Now, I'm looking for any job, anywhere on the planet... to enable me to produce and / or do an artistic study of mutations 50 years after the first man went into space.

Today, more than forty years later, its success continues. The film has strongly influenced the general image of Austria worldwide, portraying it as a beautiful country serving as a backdrop for a na?ve, creative people happily indifferent towards, if not actively supporting the "Anschluss". In Austria itself the film did not only flop miserably at the time of its release, it remains mostly unknown to this day. The contrast between the film's huge international degree of popularity and its non-acknowledgement in Austria can only be understood as a bizarre manifestation of the Austrians' unwillingness to deal with a version of the past that has not been adjusted to suit their own self-image. The casually honest portrayal of the country's National-Socialist past was and still is simply an affront to a people that is doing its utmost to forget. This paradox inevitably raises the following questions: To what degree is our identity shaped by our awareness about our history? In order to fully embrace the future do we have to understand the past and how it has shaped us? Is there, on the other hand, any legitimacy in the saying to "forgive and forget"? It is a natural human process to blank out unpleasant facts from one's own memory. At the same time contemporary art practise clearly illustrates our need to find out where we really come from. The exhibition addresses these questions in an international context, whilst stressing the relevance of the project being shown in Austria - a country renown for its problematic position in relation to its own past. History and its narration, memory and the process of remembrance and their impact on the understanding of (national) identity are common themes in the diverse and international projects included in this group exhibition. Artists from twelve countries show projects that use a variety of media, including photography, film, theatre, installation and performance art, and even pop-up books as tools in the exploration of the past and its effect on us. Susan Silas (USA), Lamia Joreige (Lebanon) and Yael Farber (South Africa) are among the internationally renown artists that will show their work in Austria for the first time within this exhibition. -------------------------------------------------------------------- KUNSTHALLE EXNERGASSE, WUK, W?hringer Stra?e 59, 1090 Wien tel. +43-1-40121-42, e-mail: kunsthalle.exnergasse@wuk.at http://kunsthalleexnergasse.wuk.at -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: --- --- --- --- --- *Upcoming exhibition:* WHITE, YELLOW, BLUE, AND BLACK, ONE COINCIDENCE, AND ONE OBJECT. Galerija Galzenica, Velika Gorica/Croatia, 15 September - 19 October 2010 http://cont3xt.net/blog/?p=3429 --- --- --- --- --- *Accompanying interview:* MONOCHROMACITY AS A REFLECTION OF COMPUTING PROCESSES IN INTERNET-BASED ART In conversation with the art historian Thomas Dreher http://cont3xt.net/blog/?p=3424 --- --- --- --- --- A reduction of structure, material, and space; if colour articulates itself, independently of interpretation or context - does that make it autonomous? Monochromacity has been considered the most essential form of abstraction, having provided a source of inspiration for non-figurative and non-representational tendencies in contemporary art, these ideas need to be taken still further in the age of digital images. The notion of a "pure" medium proposed by twentieth-century modernism with its ideals of autonomy is increasingly being pushed aside by mixed media approaches. How does the media quality of a digital image determine its appearance? If the Internet is used as a tool for communicating artistic expression, how does that relate to the history of art? Which ways of reading the Internet have users developed? These questions point to the fact that reflecting on this condition is not an end in itself, but at best an intrinsic and obvious undertaking. The exhibition WHITE, YELLOW, BLUE, AND BLACK, ONE COINCIDENCE, AND ONE OBJECT. presents eight international positions in Internet-based art that embrace monochromacity as a formal principle without clinging to the ideological aims of earlier artistic avant-gardes. --- --- --- --- --- *Artworks/artists:* The White Website (2002), by UBERMORGEN .COM http://www.ubermorgen.com/THE_WHITE_WEBSITE webzen (2009), by Michael Kargl - aka carlos katastrofsky http://katastrofsky.cont3xt.net/webzen Let?s Turn This Fucking Website Yellow .com (2007-2008), by Charles Broskoski http://letsturnthisfuckingwebsiteyellow.com International Klein Blue (Google Monochromes) (2008), by Ryan Barone http://www.ryanbarone.com/international-klein-blue-google-monochromes.html Blue Monochrome .com (2008), by Jan Robert Leegte http://bluemonochrome.com The Black Website (2002), by UBERMORGEN .COM http://www.ubermorgen.com/THE_BLACK_WEBSITE IP Monochrome (2006), by Reynald Drouhin http://www.incident.net/works/ipm all you can see (2008), by Michael Kargl - aka carlos katastrofsky http://katastrofsky.cont3xt.net/opusmagnum --- --- --- --- --- curated by Birgit Rinagl, Franz Thalmair exhibition display by Michael Kargl This is a newsletter by CONT3XT.NET (ZVR: 999765999, Vienna/Austria).

L??t? a ?t? particuli?rement violent en mati?re de politique fran?aise, puisque le gouvernement a ostensiblement fait expulser des ressortissants de l?Union europ?enne vers la Roumanie et la Bulgarie, ? raison de leur origine ethnique. Les expulsions sont orchestr?es au m?pris du droit europ?en (principe de la libre circulation) et des valeurs les plus fondamentales. Ce racisme d??tat, qui stigmatise une cat?gorie de population extr?mement congrue de France, permet d?occulter des probl?mes r?els qui ne sont ni roumains, ni bulgares, ni tsiganes, ni m?me europ?ens mais bien fran?ais. Certains, malgr? la p?riode estivale, ont manifest? leur opposition ? cette politique indigne. Mais il nous semble n?cessaire que, sur une question qui engage ce qu?il y a de plus fondamental en termes de droits humains, nous nous exprimions collectivement. Il nous semble donc utile et urgent de r?agir haut, fort et ensemble ? ces d?rives dramatiques qui pourraient nous mener encore plus loin si nous n?affirmons pas, au plus vite, que nous les condamnons fermement. C?est dans ce cadre que nous vous invitons ? participer ? ce grand ?v?nement qui aura lieu ? Montreuil le samedi 11 septembre 2010 ? partir de 13h30.

The exhibition hopes to explore these two sets exposing the dichotomies of fiction and reality, mirror images and opposing forces. ?Double lives? cater for a parallel existence whether it portrays deceiving acts or insatiable actions and can as subtle as a pen name or as exaggerated as the secret identity of a super hero; ultimately why are they adopted? Rene Descartes and Gilbert Ryle both contest from separate perspectives that our biographies- mind and body- are divided but can along in parallel without being the same entity. *Application information * Artists are invited to submit work which investigates the functions of duality, such as alter egos, multiple personalities, parallel universes, secret relationships but where double lives exist, privately or publicly. The exhibition will take place at the Malt Cross, 16, St James St, Nottingham (http://www.maltcross.com/) in February 2011. All media will be considered but is steering towards alternatives such as, projections, slide shows, interventions and installations . Please note that the submission process is free but if artists are selected they are required to pay a ?20 administration fee. To apply please send up to 3 jpeg images and an approximately 50 word statement about how the work links to the theme to alidiana@gmail.com Deadline for submissions: 30th November 2010.

Starting with purely haptic choreography, it explores how sounds, music, language and narrative can be translated into the medium of touch. The piece is performed directly on the body of the visitor. ?This work is changing the connotation of touch, it is subversively questioning, giving pleasure, waking up the senses and perception, crossing boundaries, being intimate and abstract at the same time.?

Both events are free and there's no need to book. Show & Tell Friday 24th Sept 2-4pm Steve Corbett ?The public sphere, Access Space and the hacker work ethic? He'll be presenting his recently completed Masters dissertation in Sociological Research at the University of Sheffield. The research is based on his experiences of participating at Access Space this summer. The paper looks at the recent history of technological change and is broadly concerned with the form of society that is being invoked by the advent of the Internet. Central to this is the role that ICTs and the Internet are playing in contemporary society. He spent a month conducting research at Access Space in order to understand how free/libre and open source software can be utilised in creative and active ways, with social benefits. Using the public sphere perspective of Jurgen Habermas, the paper asks in what ways ICTs can be empowering or disempowering, passive or active, exclusionary or inclusionary, consumerist or prosumerist, dominating or liberating. The talk will also discuss the hacker work ethic and argue that the way in which Access Space incorporates the principles of hacker culture as social practice can challenge the dominant cult of commodified ICT use. In conclusion, the ways in which these principles can effect wider social changes will be discussed. Hopefully, this will provide a stimulating and critical discussion about the importance of ICTs and the Internet in everyday life and the possibility of wider social changes. Contact for info: jake@access-space.org <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Artist Talk Saturday 9th October 2-4pm Dominic Smith ?As above, so below? Dominic will be talking about the nature of free/open source practice amongst the arts. When artists choose to engage with FLOSS tools, development environments and processes there is the inevitable consequence that freedom and openness becomes reflected in their work. As artists engage with the microcosmos of openly accessible code we find that this exerts and influence upon macrocosmos of galleries, festivals and related groups. He will be investigating what factors are necessary for this parallel action, looking at examples and discussing the motivating factors for artists when engaging with this process. http://dominicsmith.info/ Dominic is a founder of the Polytechnic in Newcastle, an organisation working with a hands-on, open and distributed approach to art & technology. http://ptechnic.org/ Contact for info: jake@access-space.org <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<< Jake Harries Digital Arts Programme Manager ACCESS SPACE Unit 1, AVEC Building 3-7 Sidney St Sheffield, S1 4RG, UK t: +44 (0) 114 249 5522 w: www.access-space.org Reg.

It will continue privately to experience what I have screening on the Montparnasse Tower's urban screen in December 2004: ? You are the network ! Mobile Wireless Digital ?. Curiously, my criticisms of 'misery in the digital environment' have led the network from the DMDTS at the Ministry of French Culture, in the past 15 years, to get me some financial crumbs, thinking it would be enough to erase a liability of incompetence. Meanwhile a delusional Frenchy-French? mode is trying desperately to limit space in a box, stonewalling and using other voidemty languages, without any concrete proposal to renew artistic practices in the face of techno-scientific evolution. The thieves of ideas and projects are truly insulting too little, compared to 50 million euros for the French pavilion for the World's Fair, the global ecological and social crisis, which prompted me to claim for "The art silence", since the centenary of the first manifesto of avant-garde. Even this will not keep me from continuing my projects: the "Global Poetic System" during the Berlin Marathon, the proposed experiment on iPhone and soon iPad "Cosmos 69" back. Similarly, my project around the "M's Book" reveals that after 64 collaborations with 100 entries. The 0000 will be well placed in space, 15 years after my idea of "The Machine Book", at the show entitled ArtistBook International in December at the Centre Beaubourg. Now, I'm looking for any job, anywhere on the planet... to enable me to produce and / or do an artistic study of mutations 50 years after the first man went into space.

Tour review Message-ID: <4C8FBA01.7080702@umatic.nl> Dear Spectres, Over four days at the start of September 2010, I took a small tour with the intention of visiting various socially-excluded groups in Hungary, organized by Andr?s Nun in the context of the upcoming UH Festival in Budapest. Each location visited related to Andr?s? work with human interest NGOs, and he described the theme of our excursions as ?Poverty and Exclusion in Hungary?or?What Can an International Festival Representing Peripheral Music Do About the Problem of People Forced to the Periphery, How Can It Act Against Their Exclusion?? I just posted a review of this tour, along with photographs made by some of the other participants and some general musings on "social art", here: http://macumbista.net/?p=1548 Your feedback is welcome.

Da es sich dabei meist um computergest?tzte Werke handelt, wird entsprechend eine digitale Schnittstelle ben?tigt. In den letzten Jahren hat sich hierf?r das Open Hardware Project ?Arduino? durchgesetzt. Der Workshop richtet sich an Anf?nger. Es werden Grundkenntnisse der Elektronik sowie der Steuerung mit Mikrocontrollern vermittelt. Die Teilnehmer lernen, einfache stabile Schaltungen zu realisieren und mittels Steckbrett und Lochrasterplatinen umzusetzen. Anschlie?end werden Einsatzm?glichkeiten der so entstandenen Interfaces f?r interaktive Installationen aufgezeigt. Die Teilnehmer k?nnen diese im Kurs in eigenen Projekten einsetzen oder auch Unterst?tzung bei der Verwirklichung eigener Arduino-basierter Projekte erhalten. >Termine: Mit. 29. Sept. bis Sam. 2.

Inspired by the work of Louis Bec and Vilem Flusser, we created models of this communicative behavior: A number of actants ("creatures") transmit symbols ("letters") to each other, assemble them into longer chains ("words"), and sometimes express these words by emitting sound, light, or motion patterns. Some creatures generate rhythmic pulse sequences, some almost melodic phrases. Others let hues of colors flash over their skins, while others again float up and down in space in response to the conversation between them.

September 2010, t?glich 14 ? 20 Uhr Vernissage am 17. September 2010 um 18:00h Ab etwa 700m Tiefe ist das Meer vollkommen dunkel, und die einzigen Licht-quellen sind biolumineszente Tiere; es ist durchaus plausibel, dass Kommunikation in diesem Habitat grossteils akustisch stattfindet. Inspiriert von der Arbeit von Vilem Flusser und Louis Bec wurden Modelle dieser Kommunikation entwickelt: eine Anzahl von Aktanten (modellierten Kreaturen) senden einander Symbole (?Buchstaben?), setzen daraus laengere Ketten zusammen (?Worte?), und dr?cken diese Worte manchmal als Klang-, Licht- und Bewegungsmuster aus. Einige Kreaturen erzeugen rhythmische Puls-Sequenzen, andere beinahe melodische Phrasen. Andere lassen Farbschatten ueber ihre Haut huschen, und wieder andere schweben im Raum auf und ab als Reaktion auf ihre gemeinsame Konversation.

What are the new ways to produce and distribute online video as open? And what are the limits of openness online? Why would you share your content or code, what?s in it for you? What are the key economic questions for video start-ups? How can they combine a culture of openness and sharing, while attending to the need to generate income in order to keep producing and pay the rent? What are some of the examples of best practice: what are they, who are they, where are they? Does government policy have a role, or should it be left up to the uneven geography of informational peers to generate new protocols for content distribution? - From Dead Collection to Dynamic Database Now that museums, distributors and TV channels have put their collections online, what is the next phase for these digitalized public archives? How can ?the audience? be involved, in order to avoid a dead online collection with zero comments? Moreover, what forms of social dynamism can be critically forged in the default rush towards greater participation? Who controls the database, and is there a role for designers in developing database aesthetics? How to jump through the hoops of copyright legislation, format compatibility and the spatial culture of consumption and production? Once collaboration comes into play, what impact do conflicting skill sets, different modes of knowledge production and varying social desires have? - Attack Amateur Aesthetics! This theme seeks to tackle the tenuous relationship between amateur and professional video production, particularly with respect to the question of ?quality?. Have amateur and professional video grown closer or are they still in competition? Given Andrew Keen?s and Jaron Lanier?s critiques of amateur content, is it possible for the quality of video to be improved? How can cultural value or worth be understood in this expansive realm of video? What aesthetics, techniques, genres, structures, and so on, exist in the professional realm of online video, compared to the amateur? Now that professional advertising campaigns seek that ?raw? amateur look, and the amateur experimentation tries to produce high quality produced work, what should professional education in this field be aimed at? - Art and Activism What are the political and artistic strategies of online video? Are there powerful platforms available for videos in the realm of art and activism? How do artists and activists deal with and reflect on the nature of online video, with its guerrilla, amateur, viral, remix and lo-fi characteristics? How is online video being used as a (grassroots) political tool, and conversely the ways in which authoritative powers understand and use video against activist actions? What are the new ways of launching political content effectively when everything aims to be viral? And where is the radical and artistic answer to TED Talks? - Big Players and the Politics of Appropriation Who are the big players in the world of online video? How are corporations and governments using online video? What kind of guerrilla marketing strategies are companies adopting, appropriating amateur aesthetics and making use of the possibilities of online video for its easily viral nature? How are cinema and television companies dealing with the large-scale use of online and mobile video? And how to respond to the rise of 'national webs' and the new enclosures of the cable/telecom packages and TV set-top boxes? - Platforms, Standards and the Trouble with Translation This theme seeks to draw forth experts who will offer strong interventions regarding various platforms and channels proliferating on the internet that contribute to the ecology and culture of online video. These include, but are not limited to: Skype, streaming video technologies, Foursquare, Seesmic, Qik video, Netflix, immediate news channels online etc. The theme focuses on the problem of the translations across platforms that arise to due to conflicts in standards. The geo-cultural, and often the national, limits to open sharing of online content are also significant. How do users and producers get around the limits of these borders? How do they work under the radar or tunnel through the firewall in the face of censorship and content control? Or do people simply submit to the powers that be? ______________________________ Video Vortex 6 is organized as part of Culture Vortex, a research and innovation program on public participation in online cultural collections, organized by the INC and partners MediaLAB Amsterdam, Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid, Netherlands Media Art Institute, Virtual Platform, and VPRO, and five participating cultural organizations.

The audience will have the chance to compare these two approaches at the exhibition in Tokyo Miraikan Museum, during the performances in SuperDeluxe and by participating in the round table discussion with the artists and the curators of both projects about the relationship between art, technology and culture, regarding art practice and experience in each cultural context. Croatian Device_art is a triennial international exhibition initiated by the curatorial team KONTEJNER from Zagreb, and organized in collaboration with Slovenian curator Sandra Sajovic. The first Device_art in 2004 (http://www.kontejner.org/device-art-2004-english) sought to explore projects at the intersection of art, technology and science in Croatia and Slovenia. The exhibition sought to position the work not so much as a high-tech artform but rather the result of those creative tendencies that by their very nature were located on the borders of art-design, gadget-hack, etc. >From conceptual provocations and innovative interfaces to utilitarian products and toy-hacking, the wide range of projects seemed to help explain our relationship to technology and technology's relationship to art. The next exhibition in 2006 (http://www.kontejner.org/device-art-2006-english) continued with presenting the regional scene (now with the addition of Serbian production), however this time juxtaposed with the vigorous Californian machine/robotic and maker-art scene. The festival took place in Zagreb, Ljubljana, Belgrade and San Francisco. Device_art 3 in 2009 (http://www.kontejner.org/device-art-3009-english) contrasted that of Croatian and Slovenian works with the Japanese Device Art scene along with projects by young artists studying at IAMAS. This new version, Device_art 3.010 includes a selection of projects by artists practicing in Croatia, Slovenia and Japan, including many presented in previous Device_art exhibitions. The projects included often emphasize a more conceptual approach, rather than machine- or design-oriented. The tendency of hacking and re-using technology is emphasized as well as the humorous, ironic and even absurd characteristics of the works on display. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more info: http://www.deviceart3010.org/ http://www.kontejner.org/ Download photos: http://www.kontejner.org/press/device_art_japan_2010/ Contact: info@sonicspacelabs.com; kontejner@kontejner.org; sajovicsandra@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curators: Kontejner (Olga Majcen Linn, Suncica Ostoic), Satoshi Morita, Sandra Sajovic Organizers: Kontejner/Zagreb (HR), Praksa/Ljubljana (SI), sonic space labs/Berlin (DE) Round table organizer: Machiko Kusahara Partners from Tokyo: CREST of Japan Science and Technology Agency, SuperDeluxe, Waseda University --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule: 1.

Co-organized by the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong and supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Centre for Creative and Performing Arts, HKU SPACE, *WIKITOPIA* aims to raise the public awareness for various concepts in the expanded *Free Culture* movement such as knowledge sharing, networked creativity, and most importantly the collaborative future. We will explore how we as engaged human beings, by acknowledging and utilizing these concepts growing from the technological world and entering the creative realm, envision a new utopia, opening up a new possibility for our way of working, thinking, and, ultimately, living. Technology is not about computers but us. We believe new media is not just a medium, but as well the spirit to shape our future, our world. It is only human that would possibly make a collaborative future; it is only you and me (not your machines) who would possibly create a Wikitopia for all of us! Wikitopia will be the focal point for artists, ICT/media activist, thinkers, curators, writers and curious-minded observers for a diverse programme of keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, screenings and performances at various venues in Hong Kong. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Proceeding book will be published in 2011 the theme: "Datacity" For the first time in history the World?s urban population has outnumbered its rural counterpart. Cities have become the predominant habitat of humanity. The requirements of rapidly growing cities, coupled with the contemporary technological possibilities bring about new urban reality that is data. amber?10 takes up the relationship between city and data as its festival theme. It is no accident that the rise of statistics as a science coincided with the rise of the modern city as a social form during the industrial revolution. When statistical methods of data production and measurement coupled with reproductive techniques such as photography and printing, the modern city entered into imaginary circulation simultaneously with its double, its image. From its beginnings, the modern city emerged both as a reality and a representation that were interrelated in such a manner that it became hard to tell one from the other. In this historical process, contemporaneous with the Enlightenment and Industrial capitalism, the ability to understand the city became conditional on processing and thinking through the data it produced. Data has become a crucial factor in urban social relations and politics. The capacity to produce and process all kinds of data has increased tremendously with the rise of new technologies in the last three decades. Capitalist parliamentary democracy, as it exists today, demands transparency, efficiency and absolute security as the conditions of its mechanism and has at its service the wide possibilities offered by new technologies to meet these demands. This coupling brought about the strategic importance of data in today?s World. We know and define the city through the images made up of its data. The collection, storage and processing of the vast amount of data has become an everyday practice that is both visible and invisible, threatening to some and absolutely beneficial to others in a field ranging from law to ethics, human rights to health. With the theme title Datacity, amber?10 proposes to define the modern city as a data cluster in addition to however else the city form may be defined today. We call on artists to interpret the life forms, production and consumption patterns and politics of the Datacity from the vantage point of arts and technology. New technologies play an ever-increasing role in the social life and administration of cities in various forms and functions. Branded as "smart cities", modern urban spaces are now equipped with cctv cameras, GPS and mapping systems, computerized infrastructure management systems along with the ever-multiplying number of personal electronics and gadgets all operating on global digital communication networks. With objectives ranging entertainment and administrative strategy to pure profit and public security, this network of networks tracks and traces anything that is processed digitally and continually creates a massive circulation of digital data that emanates from the operation of very many animate and inanimate things in the city. The city and its data are now heavily implicated in each other from aesthetic, technological, political, economic and sociological angles. In light of this new state of things, amberConference proposes to begin by the beginning and ask the question: What is the new urban reality under the reign of data? and what is data in the context of the city? For a through rethinking of the pair datacity from the above angles, we invite researchers, thinkers and artists from relevant disciplines to submit presentations of no more than 4000 words by considering the following subject headings. ? The politics of data and contemporary Urban governmentality. ? Politics of data circulation and use. ? Contemporary security and surveillance discourse. ? Legality and legitimacy of data collection and use. ? Political economy of data generation. ? Value of metadata in a data-driven society. ? The notion of Smart cities and urban management. ? Datazen: the consumer in a transurban dwelling pattern. ? Urban mundane and serendipity in the digital age. ? Urban artistic sensibilities in the digito-technological age. ? City as a "space of flows": Networked urban topology as an art material. ?

It will gather some of the most dynamic thinkers from and on the circumpolar regions and the open source technology and tactical media communities in an intense three day situation involving critical debate and reflection. Collectively, the conference will serve as working meeting to envision future strategies of circumpolar interconnectedness, exchange, strategies and tactics of autonomy, the landscape of current circumpolar geopolitics, mobility, open-source information sharing, citizen sensing strategies, ecology, culture and the arts. Active members of indigenous circumpolar communities, thinkers, writers, architects, artists, and technologists will participate in the open space. They will work towards making an inclusive statement regarding an autonomous, indigenous driven future of the global North as it relates to access to new technologies and infrastructures and a future, technologically mediated, ecologically sound mobility. The open space conference is happening in conjunction with the "Arctic Perspective" exhibition at the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund (June 18 ? October 10, 2010).

BLOODBATH features five artists - Linda Dement, Nancy Mauro-Flude, Kate Richards, Francesca da Rimini and Sarah Waterson. At an all girl flat track roller derby game, sensors on the helmets of players feed data to the five artworks, generating digital elaborations of the moves and collisions on track. All girl flat track roller derby is a raucous, irreverent game that usually results in minor injuries. It runs in bouts of 30 minutes, each bout being made up of 2 minute ?jams? in which one member of each team, the ?jammer?, attempts to pass the pack and so score points. For Bloodbath, the packs also have a virtual life, from robust wireless sensors (wiimotes) installed on the heads of players, collision, speed and rotational information is sent to a server and from there, on to data driven artworks. The artists are making their artworks live on site, in real-time, and these are projected as the game is played out. Bloodbath builds on investigations into our human tendency towards, and attraction to, violence - these trajectories creating technological elaborations of our delighted riveted engagement in battle and its dynamics of attack, revenge, defence, collapse, victory, deceit and subterfuge. The artists will be working with digital manifestations of speeding flesh and programmed digital activity. These works both follow and break the rules, embodying the generative repercussions of a fracas.

Curated by VT managing editor Neil Wiernik, the project will program an ongoing series of free, experimental releases that sit outside the standard EP and single format. Neil's concise mission statement for the project: "Focusing on the aural art genres that we have featured from the very start of our publication, VT Audio Editions invites artists to create a longer piece of audio/music content between 20 and 60 minutes in length. These submissions could be a composed work, a live studio session or a concert recording. Each Audio Edition will include a statement and biographic information on the participating artist" The first release is a Lynchian, smouldering ambient piece by Michigan-based composer Matt Borghi and saxophonist Michael Teager.

The collection of audio samples elaborated in electroacoustic way (ambient,folkexperimental genre) represent a a sort of soundscape composition enriching experiences produced in previous years with "radio listening". Listening the soundscape helps blind people representing to them an acoustic overview of the environment.

More information on our R&D deparment: http://nimk.nl/eng/research The digital video syncstarter software is developed and employed by NIMk to provide synced playback of multiple videos on multiple screens. In the video art field there are many artworks requiring the real-time synced playback of audio/video: HDSync provides such a functionality for HD decoders, to sync HD video playback on multiple devices. HDSync is been developed in-house at NIMk on a specific hardware configuration: WD HD Live players running B-Rad's WDLXTV firmware, something artists themselves can afford for approx 100EUR on the consumer market. ** Development in progress This release can synchronise the playback of multiple channels (virtually unlimited) on the same local network: hdsync can automatically handshake and start playing in sync, restoring the sync at every loop. Empirical tests show an error margin of 10-15 frames, with further development we aim to achieve frame exact sync. ** Support and warranty The purpose of this release is to make the project open source to allow collaboration with developers interested: we release HDSync as free and open source (GNU GPL v3) in the hope it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. And in case you find it useful, we are happy to know! http://lmgtfy.com/?q=syncstarter - -- Denis Jaromil Roio |X| Dyne.org Foundation software developer |X| Netherlands Media Art Institute GNU / Linux / *BSD |X| Montevideo / Time Based Arts - ------------------------------------------------------------ http://nimk.nl/onderzoek ~ ~ ~ http://nimk.nl/eng/research Tel: +31 20 6237101 121 ( Tue and Fri, 10:30 - 17:30 CET ) Post: NIMK/Artlab Keizersgracht 264 1016 EV AMSTERDAM Email: jaromil@nimk.org IRC: irc.freenode.net /msg jaromil PGP: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 [ C2B6 8E39 ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJMmG1oAAoJEAslGzkIl3JRFb0f/Aj88yx7/JhnWcYTQWB2YVqD f2lXtuk2NRVWtgrLC6qozLfY2p1QZT0RKYENSBVfPuSWAmQeQfXjDGji7nE4Zk5k wHdj1c+lOSkazHESMF7Cnv8aYg1vutkY+orO6LuggjUvCaUHds1wo8b5wBvScz9P HazgIJupcooOGrG3+4um2z0nx8flPt4vBURBkA3z60/yfnqRHBZNWLTC7sET2PZF Krdv8wWkZyFnJUwvqUc0l/czOBtkMLiQqODGCFTbJi6aWntBZkAxvsim2q8CYthx TYahv5DHHnuHN+v8TfMnijNSSADbFYfmgree9uOAUh8Bv21KxQR8z7AfZFMnlupx xe954uB9G2AOS0iUw+8ZiStn/ERIsvODylpyOi8ufuix4Oh0eYMSNTyyieVaHuE8 jDP9JRkdffLwPOMC65QkVdNqZA1u69bZf+XtGHQ1sXxli+MbC/MrEB9hy+imySTA 6AxApKcBqw+uI0mQcR+r4AsQodNDTfxZ4wt8kNnGa5KhiA4UQ+kGD5mrcpNgfkCu UBd2MEwdgdIQK3g5LRRBqyq3U9N0p4gqui+UPZVFqtWJtXsUjJVAa9OPqV+UtXuW i4xEP5M1DZv1VNiPUdaADUwZ2kBGMge90u+SvpwtzTu3rXSVCEascOvxoi511FIc sa1CS95dx9ecucfGmpvCj1XBbBaajrT2YrhKDituGoecuUL57TwkW1ux3sGB10pQ 4nfxwiSU+BUdWELkrsu0PFEG9wSOBT6vVmfuDmFjThvH4k3GkZDIsdkcxeR/zmLs zkK1objy4wDiw9AhK+bapDfY8M69TnJrvxVfrWe90yHcqtFsFMnO8kkx0c8QrMjZ v+xI99xU7aN9OlIW60lwlN8ZD4qAHKfdoA9nl6RQnZIi0bJK3YD/wOhGcEsffhjY pkbvXxuxaxoS/UMnUMfeybu5ALsTV95+I3tUfz2+VbApzFG5PnhwmUkRWZD5lxZC nQN/vu/zsGDz7NMPql4AsQmefFtxX/E4EXms9sGJxQQoHJE//Z2GoMQHW0H9LyTp qWHTn+NN8J43nfQ/WsgZVRzrIdZZefVNCLqiLEbEtTEtuVfGT8HGNnEYUqxmbu5D F1H+EMUqBXaaT8bm9pJzYRwvPM2m22Or9AAb/UGgnJRJFf4YqJwUsnzzNcoVlmeq 3/dLBodkKMszhqQfBWRpdW9A4Ieah7X0fw5LjAS6Q5627iTQj3rFCMyou6X7anAb ihvrj2Ajdmy/nhHf+4NsKoh3HsPsAelL8IGQqfglXOoV0YfYs1mfTehf4Afb5Czj cjN1+pCmWkN4hqqQwBvvlfbz/Jwr7ljoDjbatHKAqznMFAScE6SDoi23NwWPlT8= =TmFM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From qrndnc at yahoo.it Tue Sep 21 12:01:13 2010 From: qrndnc at yahoo.it (Domenico Quaranta) Date: Tue Sep 21 12:01:37 2010 Subject: [spectre] Announcing the MINI Museum of XXI Century Arts Message-ID: <90E6AC57-F6E6-4ADE-96D2-6A38D2BF2625@yahoo.it> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ?There is no such a thing as a copy. In the world of digitalized images, we are dealing only with originals - only with original presentations of the absent, invisible digital original. The exhibition makes copying reversible: it transforms a copy into an original.? Boris Groys ?One could of course argue that this is not the real thing, but then ? please, anybody ? show me this real thing.? Hito Steyerl The MINI Museum of XXI Century Arts (also known as MMAXXI) is a 7'' digital photo frame bought on eBay equipped with a 4GB pen drive. Founded and directed by Domenico Quaranta, the MINI Museum has been designed to store and display the art of the XXI century - that is art that takes, has taken or can take digital form, at some time in its life, and can thus be stored on a USB pen drive and displayed on a digital photo frame. The MINI Museum will travel from node to node around a network of artists, and will host temporary solo shows by the artist owning it at the time. All the artworks shown in the MINI Museum will enter the permanent collection of the Museum itself. The Museum will return to the Director when there is no more storage space left. The process is scheduled to start on October 15, 2010, when the MINI Museum will officially be given to its first ?temporary owner?. The MINI Museum addresses issues of copyright, ownership, networking, versioning, sharing, curating, collecting and displaying, but also of space and time, scale, history-making, preserving and forgetting. A space for XXI century Arts The architecture of the MINI Museum has been designed employing the most basic display media devices available today. Digital frames are cheap, kitschy, easy to use and understand. They are the ideal gift for your granny. Designed to display mainly digital photos, most of them support many other media formats as well. USB pen drives made both CD-ROMs and DVDs dead media in the blink of an eye. 4GB pen drives are currently the smallest, cheapest format available on the market. Both digital frames and pen drives are beautiful examples of digital waste, since they are both used to store and display absurdly heavy files. The MINI Museum wants to turn this waste into a resource: an architecture to store and display art. The MINI Museum can display artworks in jpg, mp3, mpg and avi format. Any artwork adopting one of these file formats is eligible to be shown at the MINI Museum and enter its collection. Furthermore, any artwork that, according to its author, can be legitimately translated into one of these formats without losing its status of ?artwork?, is eligible to be shown at the MINI Museum and enter its collection. This means that the MINI Museum can virtually store and display any kind of art: digital images, animations, photographs, videos, software, music scores, texts but also paintings, drawings, installations, sculptures, architecture, performances and so on. This is why the Museum has been called ?The MINI Museum of XXI Century Arts?. Many attempts have been made to describe the arts of the XXI century, and much emphasis has been put on the fact that a new art requires new media. Bullshit. If there is any lowest common denominator between the arts of the XXI century, it is not the fact that they are digital, but the fact that they can all be translated into digital form, or exist temporarily in digital form. Not all contemporary art is media art, but all contemporary art can be mediated. Thus, all contemporary art can be displayed via a digital photo frame, or stored on a USB pen drive. The way the MINI Museum is conceived reflects the shifting identity of contemporary art in a networked, globalized, information-based world. It's light and portable. It can travel. The collection won't be the result of an act of individual selection: it will be the unexpected, dynamic result of friendship connections and casual meetings, fair play and mischief, and dynamic interpretations of its rules. All this will become part of the history of the Museum - and art history in general. Inspiration The MINI Museum was directly inspired by the Nanomuseum, founded in 1994 by the Swiss curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, and by the Pirate Paintings conceived in 2009 by the Greek artist Miltos Manetas. The Nanomuseum was a little frame, bought by H.U.O. in a store set up in D?sseldorf by the German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann. Throughout the Nineties it housed many solo exhibitions by the likes of artists such as Chris Marker, Yoko Ono, Gilbert & George, Christian Boltanski, Jonas Mekas, Gabriel Orozco, and the architect Cedric Price. Its final show was supposed to be by the artist Douglas Gordon, who was going to organize its funeral, but then the Museum was lost in a pub. The Nanomuseum was a free museum, without a regular programme and, of course, without a collection. The Pirate Paintings are oil paintings featuring the logo of The Pirate Bay and equipped with a pen drive or a hard disk full of files (including Manetas' collection of Neen artworks) that visitors can freely download to their laptop or mobile phone. Further inspiration came from Marcel Duchamp's Bo?te-en-valise, the Fluxus boxes and Andy Warhol's Timeboxes. How it works 1. After buying the digital photo frame and the USB pen drive and setting up the MINI Museum, the Museum Director will hand it over to an artist. From then on, he will have no control over the life of the Museum until the end of the process. 2. The artist will make a work for the Museum, set it up, put it on show for an unspecified length of time, document the exhibition, send documentation to the Director and hand the Museum over to another artist. This is a recursive rule: that is, all temporary owners of the MINI Museum have to follow this one basic procedure. 3. Only the ?temporary owner? of the MINI Museum can decide who the next one will be. He or she might choose to lend it to a close friend, or to somebody they just met. But the artist may also choose to pick up a name from a growing list of applicants.

The process ends when there is no storage space left on the pen drive. The artist adding the last work to the collection is to take care of the MINI Museum until he or she has a chance to give it back to the Museum Director. 5. From then on, the MINI Museum Director will be in charge of curating the Museum - rearranging the collection, lending pieces to other museums or exhibitions, restoring pieces, etc. 6. Before starting the process, the MINI Museum Director will store a README file on the USB pen drive containing additional instructions for the artists. Each participating artist is kindly invited to follow these rules. But since the Museum Director does not have any control over the process, all artists are free to decide, at any time, that they do not wish to follow one or more of the rules: potentially deleting other artists' works, stealing them, selling them, renaming them, reformatting the pen drive, or donating just one 4GB artwork and then giving the Museum back to the Director.

Spill >> Forward by Transnational Temps (Review). Review by Rob Myers. Spill >> Forward by Transnational Temps is an 'Online Exhibition' of images and other media on the theme of oil spills. With some works shown at the MediaNoche gallery in New York from July 30 - October 10, 2010. Transnational Temps is an international arts collective concerned with ecology, sustainability, and media. Since its formation in 2001 it has produced a series of critically acclaimed works and exhibitions under the banner Earth Art for the 21st Century. Working primarily from Europe and the United States, works to date have emphasized participation, tactical media, and spanning the sometimes awkward divide between activist advocacy and aesthetics. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=409 As media attention wanes, the impact of British Petroleum's Deep Horizon, off-shore drilling disaster continues to unfold. Artists worldwide respond to this new ecological catastrophe in a group show organized by Transnational Temps, an arts collective exploring the interstices of art, ecology and technology. For Andy Deck, one of the founding members of Transnational Temps and the curator of the show, "After a decidedly unsuccessful round of climate negotiations in Copenhagen, the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico frames this exhibition of Earth Art for the 21st Century." "Now hidden from view by BP's media campaigns and other de facto censoring actions, the images of oil-covered birds struggling to breathe and fly, oil and dispersant-coated fish, dolphins and whales washing up dead while most sink to the ocean floor, have all but vanished. Partially filling the void are the artists showing here who are recreating topographies: mapping the course of a deadly shadow over our shores and waters; and reinterpreting the sea, its rising levels and largesse, before the vicissitudes of man and nature."

An audiovisual installation, with recorded or live performances. tr?d an gcoill, a 120-page poem by S?amas Cain, is itself a poetic field recording. It evokes a walk through Dromore Woods in County Clare. It immerses the reader in a stream of words and word-clusters. The overall effect is hypnotic, as we are led by a piped piper into the heart of the wood. Czech sound-artist Slavek Kwi has created an audiovisual installation from underwater and field recordings captured in Dromore Woods itself, and fused these elements with S?amas Cain's chanted recital of tr?d an gcoill. This installation with performances will be open to the public in City Arts, with Free Admission. tr?d an gcoill creates a unique space in which one can experience nature and language through sounds and visions of uncanny beauty. S?amas Cain is an Irish-American experimental poet, a friend and colleague of Jean Genet and Allen Ginsberg. One of the most radical voices in modern literature he writes in Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Old Celtic, Spanish and English. For additional information, go to ... http://seamascain-writernetwork.org Slavek Kwi is a Czech sound-artist, composer and researcher. From the early nineties he has operated under the name "Artificial Memory Trace." For additional information, go to ... http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com Seamus Johnson described Cain's recorded chantings of tr?d an gcoill for this Installation as "incantatory, rhythmic, passionate, guttural, mezmerizing. Cain is the baritone ascending to Apollo. Or, is he the baritone ascending Mt. Carmel? He does tend to get carried away in performance, lost in a kind of trance, at times in the passion of the moment whacking the microphones. Indeed, Cain's performance is hypnotic! Plenty of auditory images! And plenty of rich and diverse sounds to be chopped up for computer-randomization!" Slavek Kwi used chance operations to distribute the fragments of Cain's chantings in various speakers of a vertical Speaker Tree, which doesn't brake the continuous chanting, but changes the architecture as texture and dynamics. Also, Kwi used chance operations on the distribution in speakers of the timbre of Cain's chantings. Kwi's Installation includes a color film, with parts of the text of the tr?d an gcoill poem superimposed in scrolling effect over images from Dromore Woods, a slide-show with 1,500 slides, an environmental soundtrack on external 5.1 system and also a Voice Tower, all edited using chance operations.

So don't miss this year's festival from 2nd-7th November, 2010 in Turin! Smart Mistakes - Share Festival 2010 ERROR, mistake, mutation, failure, dysfunction, discrepancy, accident, unexpected change, chance discovery, the aesthetics of error, mass waste, project failure, abandon project, disaster, flaw, inconvenience, misappropriation, side-effect, slip-up, flop. This year, the VI Piemonte Share Festival will be focusing on the artistic and cultural significance of mistake, in all its broader senses. The creative potential of analysing and looking into what lies behind an error is truly great, as it represents the uncovering of an issue. Which is of particular interest in this year of global emergencies. The issue uncovered then demands attention, which in turn elicits controversy, while it is controversy that generates solutions and innovation. In the art and culture of our digital age, does mistake still play the role of instigating change and activating value? Share Prize 2010 Now are you ready to discover the group of artists called to Turin to take part in a Share Festival? Some 270 projects from 20 countries were submitted for consideration for the Share Prize 2010. The aim of the Share Prize is to discover, promote and support the digital arts. The competition is open to artists that use digital technology as a language of creative expression, in all shapes and formats. The cultural aim of the Share Prize is to make participation in the Share Festival open and accessible to all artists. An international panel of judges consisting of Jurij Krpan (Ljubljana), Andy Cameron (London), Fulvio Gianaria (Turin), and Bruce Sterling (Austin/Turin) assessed the submissions. After a very interesting meeting and a professional, in-depth analysis of all the works, it is with great pleasure that we announce the six incredible artists who have been short-listed for the Share Prize 2010. Read the judges' statement here The prize winners will be announced at the Share Prize award ceremony on 7th November, 2010 at the Regional Museum of Natural Science in Turin. Kuai Auson (EC), 0h!m1gas (2008) 0h!m1gas is a biomimetic stridulation environment, based on the activity of an ant colony under video and audio surveillance, transforming the ants into DJs and creating a sound-reactive space which reveals the connection between scratching, as an aesthetical expression created by human culture, and the stridulation phenomena produced by ants as a communication mechanism. http://kuaishen.tv/0hm1gas Perry Bard (CDN), Man with a Movie Camera (2007) Man With a Movie Camera: The Global Remake is a participatory video shot by people around the world who are invited to record images interpreting the original script of Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera, and upload them to http://dziga.perrybard.net, where software developed specifically for this project archives, sequences and streams the submissions as a film. http://dziga.perrybard.net Sonia Cillari (IT), As an artist, I need to rest (2009) The artist is lying still on the floor of the exhibition space, exhaling through a very long cable, which departs from inside her left nostril and ends at the centre of the main screen, suspended from the floor. A digital creature which she calls 'feather' is entirely generated by her exhaling into the suspended screen. During the performance, Sonia Cillari exhales 14,000 digital elements and brings the digital feather into more than 6 different states of beings, from 'addition' to 'resistance' patterns of life. http://www.soniacillari.net/AaA-IntR_dedicated.htm Ernesto Klar (IT/VE/USA), Luzes relacionais (2009-10) Luzes relacionais" (Relational Lights) is an interactive audiovisual installation that explores our relationship with the expressional-organic character of space. The installation uses light, sound, haze, and a custom-software system to create a morphing, three-dimensional light-space in which spectators actively participate, manipulating it with their presence and movements. "Luzes relacionais" is pays homage to the work and aesthetic inquiry of Brazilian artist Lygia Clark. http://www.klaresque.org/luzes_video.mov knowbotic research (CH), Macghillie_ just a void (2009-10) In the public performance project MacGhillie, urban sites are visited by a figure, clad in a camouflage suit, who shows neither the traits of an individual, or even of a person. The so-called Ghillie Suit was originally invented in the 19th century for hunting and was later also used during the First World War (bis heute). Its camouflage anonymizes and neutralises of the person who wears it in public. The figure oscillates between the hyperpresence of a mask and visual redundancy. http://krcf.org/krcf.org/?p=249 Teatrino Elettrico (IT), DC12V (2009) DC12V is a board-game version of elektrolivecircus. Sounds are generated using analogue instruments only, recordings of movements, percussion, friction and the electromagnetic fields of various everyday machines. Small in converted into big, futile into necessary, objects into personages, the board into a location.

(Daniel Dayan & Elihu Katz, Media Events: the live broadcasting of history) HTTP Gallery in North London is pleased to present the latest work by the Italian artist group IOCOSE whose provocative projects use media and web-based technologies as a tool to challenge contemporary notions around religion, politics and social media. At HTTP they will be presenting a new video piece whose content is still shrouded in mystery. Before showing in London the work will premier at the RE:akt Festival in Slovenia on 21 October 2010. IOCOSE has been working in Italy and Europe since 2006. It organises actions in order to subvert ideologies, practices and processes of identification and production of meanings. It uses pranks and hoaxes as tactical means, as joyful and sound tools. IOCOSE thinks about the streets, Internet and word of mouth as a battlefield. Tactics such as mimesis and trickery are used to lead and delude the audience into a semantic pitfall. More information.

The workshop, to be given by RCGEB?s collaborators, will serve as a theoretical and practical introduction to the creation of biotech art. The program has been designed to give participants a good range of lab skills and to inspire them with concepts relevant to broader ethical and philosophical concerns in biotechnology. It will include an introduction to laboratory work and laboratory practice in the context of bio-tech art. The workshop aims to cover wide areas and methods for RNA/DNA and protein analyses such as: DNA/RNA isolation, Southern blot analysis, PCR, RT-PCR, ASO hybridization, RFLP method, SSCP, DGGE, sequencing, cloning, production of recombinanat enzymes, chromatography, microarray analysis, analysis of microRNA, 2D and 2D-DIGE technique etc. The Workshop is an integral part of SEAFair (Skopje Electronic Arts Fair) 2010- The Apparatus of Life and Death, 04.10-22.10 2010. The Festival is comprised of - Exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Skopje, Conference at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Skopje, and a Workshop at the Research Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Skopje. SEAFair (Skopje Electronic Arts Fair) was initiated in 1997, represents the first manifestation of this type on the Balkans, connecting the local and international artists, critics, and theoreticians working in new technologies and media, has for its five years of existence attracted artists and theoreticians from all five continents. The Festival has achieved a great international importance being envisioned as a series of events, exhibitions, symposia, workshops, and web conferences that explore the creation and practise of new media arts. The event has since served traditionally as an international and inter-cultural meeting place of arts and technologies, influencing the discussions about artistic, philosophic, educational and other aspects of the processes, which characterize electronic culture, but also of the processes and the challenges which the Internet, biotechnology, genetic engineering, and nano-technology place before us. SEAFair has become the central focal point in the region for the dispersing of knowledge of new media arts, bringing together artists, culture theoreticians, practitioners of new media, philosophers, and scientists in a constructive dialogue. Melentie Pandilovski has been the convenor/curator and director of SEAFair since its inception in 1997. SEAFair History: http://seafair.scca.org.mk/history.htm The idea of this 7th edition of SEAFair The apparatus of life and death is to creatively respond to the evolution of society in the sphere of bio-politics and to assist us in the visualizing of our future. In fact, SEAFair 2010 will convey the story of artists, critics and theorists attempting to navigate through the maize of the newly constructed global bio-political apparatus, in a changing social matrix, in which the rules are just being set. The artists in the exhibition The apparatus of life and death will present an array of approaches ? from the humorous and playful to the deadly serious ? regarding the way we think about the origins of life, the scale and dimensions of living matter, to relationships with nourishment, death, fashion and appearance. 10 ? 15 artists from Macedonia and Central&Eastern Europe will take part in the Biotech Art Workshop. Venue: Research Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Dates: Monday 4 ? Thursday 7 October, 2010 Requirements for applying: The applicants-artists are required just to send their short CV/Portfolio with a motivation letter up to 250 words. The required documents should be sent to Slavco Dimitrov: slavco.euba@gmail.com Deadline for submitting the application: 30 September Deadline for announcing the results of the selection process: 1 October Contact person: Melentie Pandilovski, Director of the Centre for Visual and Cultural Research- ?Euro-Balkan?

Topical areas include neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, biology, quantum physics, meditation and altered states, machine consciousness, culture and experiential phenomenology. Held annually since 1994, the conference is organized by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, and alternates yearly between Tucson, Arizona and various locations around the world. Toward a Science of Consciousness 2011 will be held at Stockholm University, Aula Magna Hall, Stockholm, Sweden, May 2-8, 2011. Nine recent developments related to the understanding of consciousness will be addressed: 1) Electromagnetic fields and massively coherent neuronal activities correlate with consciousness in the brain 2) Transcranial therapies aimed at brain fields and neuronal targets promise utility in various mental disorders 3) Neuronal connection maps enable computer simulations of brain ! functions, but are axonal and/or dendritic processes! necessa ry/sufficient for consciousness? 4) Anesthetic gases selectively erase consciousness and block coherent gamma synchrony EEG acting in a distributed array of dendritic proteins 5) Warm temperature biological quantum coherence and ballistic conduction in microtubules have rejuvenated quantum approaches to consciousness 6) Physics and cosmology are approaching the nature of reality, time and the place of consciousness in the universe 7) Libet backward time referral of subjective experience is now observed in mainstream neuroscience, perhaps accounted for by quantum physics 8) Surprising end-of-life coherent brain activity suggests a physiological correlate for so-called near death experiences 9) Eastern philosophy and secular spirituality accommodate quantum physics and cosmology Speakers (preliminary list) Anirban Bandyopadh! yay Dick Bierman Moran Cerf Lakhmir Chawla Deepak Chopra Nicholas Franks Stuart Hameroff Germund Hesslow Anthony Hudetz Tarja Kallio-Tamminen Menas Kafatos Johnjoe MacFadden Rafi Malach David McCormick Leonard Mlodinow Sue Pockett Paavo Pylkkanen Allan Snyder Jack Tuszynski W. Jamie Tyler Pim Von Lommel Eric Wasserman and others Special Pre-Conference Workshop Deepak Chopra Vedic approaches to consciousness Monday May 2, 2011 Sessions, Themes and Speakers 1) Brain fields and coherence: Evidence and theory suggest brain electromagnetic fields and large scale coherent potentials, ignitions and avalanches correlate with consciousness and feed! back on neuronal activities, bolstering longstanding electro magnetic field theories of consciousness. David McCormick, Yale, Brain electric field feedback Johnjoe McFadden, Surrey, Electromagnetic field theory of consciousness Sue Pockett, Auckland, E-M field theory of consciousness 2) Transcranial therapy of mental states: New therapeutic modalities based on brain stimulation aimed at conscious mental disorders include transcranial electric and magnetic fields and ultrasound vibrations. Mechanisms and utility in relation to consciousness and memory will be discussed. Allan Snyder, Sydney, Transcranial Electric fields for memory enhancement W. Jamie Tyler, Arizona State, Transcranial ultrasound for mental disorders Eric Wasserman, NIH, Transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression 3) Neuronal computation and brain simulation: What systems, levels and specific brain activities are critical for consciousness: axonal firings, dendritic synchrony, macroscopic fields, complexity, intraneuronal processes, quantum states? Will mapping the brain explain consciousness? Germund Hesslow, Lund, Complex spike timing Rafi Malach, Weizmann Institute, Neuronal ignitions 4) Anesthesia and consciousness: Anesthetic gases selectively erase consciousness and block high frequency gamma synchrony EEG while sparing non-conscious brain functions, acting by weak quantum forces in a distributed array of post-synaptic proteins Nicholas Franks, Imperial College London, Anesthetic sites of action Stuart Hameroff, Arizona, Hydrophobic quantum pockets in dendritic proteins Anthony Hudetz, MC Wisconsin, Anesthetics and gamma synchrony 5) Quantum biology: The role of quantum phy! sics in consciousness has been discounted by the ass! umption that the biological brain is too warm and wet. But quantum coherence, entanglement and ballistic conductance have now been recognized in warm photosynthesis, DNA and microtubules. Anirban Bandyopadhyay, Tsukuba, Ballistic conductance in microtubules Jack Tuszynski, Alberta, Microtubule information processing capabilities 6) Consciousness, reality and the universe: Does the conscious observer collapse the wave function? Is consciousness an emergent property of complex computation, or irreducible and intrinsically related to spacetime geometry? How did the universe arise from nothingness? What is entanglement? Menas Kafatos, Chapman University, The holographic universe Leonard Mlodinow, CalTech, Grand design (with Stephen Hawking) Paavo Pylkkanen, Helsinki, Bohm and the quantum universe 7) Time, prec! ognition and consciousness: The Libet experiments and parapsychology have long suggested backward time referral of subjective conscious experience of hundreds of milliseconds in the brain. Now such effects are seen in mainstream neuroscience. Can they be explained through quantum physics? Dick Bierman, Amsterdam, Pre-sentiment Moran Cerf, NYU/UCLA, Pre-cognition in human brain neurons? 9) End-of-life brain activity: Recent clinical studies report a surge of coherent, high frequency EEG at the time of human death, when neuronal metabolic supplies are depleted. Historically, nearly all civilizations have reported so-called near death experiences with remarkably consistent phenomenology. Have brain monitors captured the correlate of near death experiences? Lakhmir Chawla, George Washington, End-of-life br! ain activity Pim von Lommel, Arnhem, Near death expe! riences< /div> 9) Eastern philosophy, quantum physics and cosmology. Buddhism and Vedanta have much in common with quantum physics and cosmology. Is consciousness inherent in the universe? Deepak Chopra, Chopra Center, Vedic approach to consciousness Tarja Kallio-Tamminen, Helsinki, Quantum physics and Eastern philosophy In addition to Keynote and Plenary talks, the conference will feature Pre-Conference Workshops, Concurrent Talks, Poster Sessions, Art/Tech Demos, Social Events and Side Trips in the Stockholm tradition. *Special Pre-Conference Workshop* Deepak Chopra - Vedic approaches to consciousness Monday May 2, 2011 TSC Stockholm 2011 Conference Abstract System will be available via the CCS website after September 20.

The Click Tracker is a program designed for composers, conductors and instrumentalists that work with modern music. The main goal of the software is to prepare a click track of any score, no matter of how complex it is. This software can be used either by conductors in concert, by musicians for practise purposes, by composers while composing - or just to produce and record a click track to be played back at a later point. The CLick Tracker can be downloaded freely in http://puredata.info/Members/jmmmp/click-tracker (Paypal donations are possible). It runs on Pure Data Extended (also a free program) in any operative system, and installation instructions for both programs are in the same page. I hope that you find this software useful. I would like to hear back of any suggestions, critiques or simple feedback.

R?aliste Cosmopolites de tous les pays encore un effort www.aksioma.org/cosmopolites International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC) Grad Tivoli, Pod turnom 3, Ljubljana, Slovenia Unveiling of the public monument: 27 September 2010 at 6pm There is a field of non-Euclidean geography that has never got its Nobel Prize winner. The major tools of this emerging science are tearing, gluing and stretching topographic elements in order to reach an idealized inertia of a piece of land corresponding to the mental projections of its inhabitants. The constant endeavor of the researchers of territorial ergonomics consists in re-designing hypsometric tints, shaded reliefs, longitudes, latitudes and contour lines in the direction to fit them with their intrinsic stature. Indeed, not only natural objects and forces but all topographical components have their will of completion, especially those that were formed by human intention. The observation, identification, description and experimental investigation of regional divisions are the fundament of the art of territorial shaping. In 2008, Soci?t? R?aliste started a survey about "ecomorphism", about how the forms of the physical surroundings of humans strain their perception, how their attitude adapts to the specific architectural, urban and geopolitical condition. In primary school one starts studying geography by the description of the boundaries of the fatherland. Which are the surrounding countries, which are the natural frontiers, mountains, coastlines and rivers, where these dotted lines, drawn so elegantly through deserts, hills and forests, run on the map. The form of the native country is burned on the retina of every citizen: it is put on vehicles as stickers, used on banknotes, coats of arms and stamps, shown in museums or on television, used as bijou or even built as temples like the Bharat Mata Mandir in Varanasi, India. The fellows of territorial ergonomics consider this obsessive misuse of geographical data as the principal obstacle to cosmopolitan imagination. In order to protest against the dictatorial malpractice of topography and to dismantle the idolatry of miscellaneous historico-geographical shapes, Soci?t? R?aliste has created a cognitive see-through model under the title of Jacques Derrida's book Cosmopolites de tous les pays encore un effort / Cosmopolitans of all countries, yet another effort. The model is the result of the superimposition of the topographic forms of the 192 member states of the United Nations. All these sovereign states were put on the same scale using only two main bits of information: their specific shape and the location of their capital city, with the intention of producing the synthetic form of potentially any state. The result is an eroded square, the average capital city lying almost in the geometrical center of it, the chaos of the borderlines covering nearly its entire surface. Parallel to the calculation of the shape of a "model state", Soci?t? R?aliste started to work on a textual corpus that incorporates all the national anthems of the aforementioned 192 UN member states. Using the English translation of every anthem, Soci?t? R?aliste established a global compilation of national(ist) vocabulary. All words are marked with the three letter ISO code of the corresponding country, for example SVN for Slovenia, FRA for France, HUN for Hungary, etc. Cosmopolitans of all countries, yet another effort is a standard tombstone for any state. Presented vertically, into one of its sides is carved the calculation method with the superimposition of all the national borders of the world and the emplacement of the 192 capital cities, while into the other side is carved a textual composition using the compiled adjectives of all 192 national anthems. The complete list of 1839 hymnal adjectives - which form a line from the word ABLAZE from the Turkish anthem, to YOUTHFUL, from the Jordanian one - can be applied to any sovereignty of any time. This ephemeral monument stands in the confrontation between the majestic and ceremonious sculpture, the abstract figuration of the notion of the state and the methodology of its construction. Cosmopolitans of all countries, yet another effort intends to evoke and to represent the necessary escape and excess from entrapment within historical forms of political domination and to remain at the same time the parody of a monument. Soci?t? R?aliste is a Parisian cooperative created by Ferenc Gr?f and Jean-Baptiste Naudy in 2004. It works in the field of political design, experimental economy, territorial ergonomics and social engineering consulting. Polytechnic, it develops its production schemes through exhibitions, publications and conferences. Soci?t? R?aliste is represented by Galerie Martine Aboucaya (Paris) and Kisterem (Budapest). In 2010 they presented their work at several collective exhibitions (Rennes Biennial, FR; Fondazione Pistoletto, Biella, IT; M?csarnok/Kunsthalle, Budapest, HU; Walter and McBean Galleries, SFAI, San Francisco, USA) and they are preparing a series of solo exhibitions starting in September at Platform3, Munich, DE, which will be continued in Ljubljana at the Skuc Gallery in November.

Living' by Christian Kerrigan. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=410 Olga P Massanet reviews the work of Christian Kerrigan: 'Living'. This rather cryptic exhibition is an inspiring and very personal exploration of the blurring between nature and culture in its absolute physicality. Paying particular attention to the materiality of the creative process, his methodologies show a passion for unfolding reality in its many scales. 'Living' is the result of a six month residency at the V&A in London, by Christian Kerrigan - from January to June 2010 - and it is part of The 200 Year Continuum. The 200 Year Continuum is the title of a project by the same artist that explores the relationship between nature and technology. ????> Other Info: A living, breathing, thriving networked neighbourhood... http://identi.ca/furtherfield http://twitter.com/furtherfield Other reviews,articles,interviews http://www.furtherfield.org/reviews.php Furtherfield ? online media arts community, platforms for creating, viewing, discussing and learning about experimental practices at the intersections of art, technology and social change. http://www.furtherfield.org HTTP Gallery ? physical media arts Gallery (London). http://www.http.uk.net Netbehaviour - Networked Artists List Community.

Von der internationalen Jury wurden Ralf Baecker, die Gruppe HeHe und Anahita Razmi f?r das Stipendium ausge-w?hlt. Ralf Baecker, Crystal Set Crystal Set ist ein elektronischer Apparat, der vollst?ndig aus nat?rlichen Materialien mit besonderen elektronischen Eigenschaften gebaut wird: aus Kristallen mit halbleitenden Eigenschaften wie z.B. Silizium, Germanium und Pyrit, ebenso aus Wolframf?den, Platin, Eisen, Kupfer, Magnesium, Phos-phor und Bernstein. Diese Rohstoffe werden zu einem elektronischen Schaltkreis verbunden, der ein fortlaufendes System in Gang setzt und den klassischen Algorithmus des *Game of Life* berechnet, der auf einem Bildschirm sichtbar wird. Ralf Baecker (* 1977) studierte 2002 - 2007 Medienkunst an der Kunsthochschule f?r Medien in K?ln. Er lebt und arbeitet in Bremen. HEHE (Helen Evans und Heiko Hansen), The China Syndrome Die Installation The China Syndrom simuliert im Modellma?stab eine nukleare Kernschmelze in einer postindustriellen Unterwasserlandschaft. Die Installation erkundet zwei vielleicht erschreckende, doch zugleich extrem verf?hrerische Gebilde, die hier in einem Performance-Theater en miniature ver-schmelzen: die K?hlturmarchitektur eines Atomkraftwerks und der Atompilz einer Atomexplosion. Um-gesetzt wird die Simulation durch eine kontrollierte Manipulation von Fl?ssigkeiten in einem Aquarium, die synchron zu einer vorprogrammiertem Licht- und Soundpartitur abl?uft. The China Syndrome kann die Katastrophe einer Atomexplosion in einem f?r Menschen HeHe ist eine in Paris ans?ssige K?nstler und Design Partnerschaft, die 1999 von Helen Evans und Heiko Hansen gegr?ndet wurde, die beide bis 1999 am Royal College of Art, London, studierten. Anahita Razmi, Paykan Project, 2010 Das Paykan Project, so der Arbeitstitel, wird gleichzeitig ein realer Roadtrip, eine k?nstlerische ?ko-nomische Intervention, eine Videoinstallation und ein Objekt sein. Razmi wird versuchen einen Pey-kan (Paykan), die im Iran gebr?uchlichste Automarke und au?erhalb des Landes kaum noch zu fin-den, nach Europa zu importieren. Die Idee f?r das Projekt basiert auf der Tatsache, dass 2009 ein gebrauchter Peykan w?hrend einer Ebay-Auktion f?r gut 40.000$ versteigert wurde, w?hrend man im Iran ungef?hr 700$ zahlt. Der ikonische Wert, den der Wagen erh?lt, sobald er die iranische Grenze ?berquert, ist demnach der Ausgangspunkt des Projekts. Von der Reise aus dem Iran nach Oldenburg wird ein Video/ein Film gedreht, in dem durch Sampling und Collage das tats?chliche *Abenteuer* mit dem Genre des amerikanischen Roadmovies kontrastiert wird. Anahita Razmi (*1981) hat bis 2009 an der Bauhaus-Universit?t in Weimar, dem Pratt-Institute in New York und der Akademie f?r Bildende K?nste in Stuttgart studiert. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Stuttgart.

This is what makes me think that brain is the basis of creation: brain is the wildest place of the body, not the most rational. It is a damp and dark place where suddenly two ideas come together without you intending it. In my opinion, creation is very similar to brain: a dark space, wet place. And you must insist. You were wrong? It doesn't matter.

With performances, concerts and surprising installations, artists who take part in Almost Cinema dissect the ordinary cinema experience as they experiment with sound, image, light, space and movement. The exhibition - of Almost Cinema will again wind its way through the Vooruit building and, for the first time, stray beyond the walls. Many artists come to present new work, as you can read on the following pages. Further on in this dossier there is more information to be found on live performances, concerts, a symposium, the alternative opening film and the festive ending. Almost Cinema exhibition In this edition of the Almost Cinema exhibition, visitors are encouraged to explore alternative landscapes and discover instruments that manipulate the way we see things. Eye catcher at this exhibition is the new, breathtaking creation by Pablo Valbuena: a light sculpture projected onto a monumental fa?ade. Bram Vreven will present his new kinetic sculpture 'Spin', sound artist Zimoun will show a new in situ creation. Also on display is the internationally acclaimed kinetic sculpture 'Studien.zur.Sehnsucht' by Kerstin Ergenzinger, which transforms a stack of rubber sheets into an ocean, organ or a futuristic landscape. Wim Janssen's 'Static' uses light filters and handmade pixels to create static (world premiere) and Ief Spincemaille's 'Reversed Blinking' offers the audience the chance to freeze the moving outside world in a picture (Belgian premiere). Eric Joris's Crew will introduce the project 'Bolscan' which takes the audience on a trip to a different universe. Exhibition open 12-23 October 2010 (Mon-Thu 6 pm-midnight / Fri-Sun 2 pm-midnight); festive vernissage on Wed 13 October (with reception at 9:30 pm); free; in Vooruit, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 23, 9000 Gent (different locations + outdoor locations at walking distance). Almost Cinema performances Duncan Speakman Subtle mob: 'As if it were the last time' Thu 21 Oct 2010 - 8 pm (35') In town - free (please register) Do you know that feeling when you're walking through the city with music in your headphones and you suddenly get the feeling you're watching a movie? Everyday life is transformed into a scene from a movie, the streets form the setting, passers-by become extras... Duncan Speakman's 'As if it were the last time' recreates that feeling. As you walk through the city, a soundtrack is playing on your mp3 player. A story unfolds, and you're given a command now and then, such as "stand still", "lean against the wall", "look at the shop window". Subtle, barely noticeable moves. Speakman describes his project as a "subtle mob". It's his alternative to the widely-known flash mob, under the motto "try to remain invisible". He invites a large audience to gather in a public space for a unique experience. Onlookers might not even notice that something is going on. A magical experience. "Imagine walking through a film, but it's happening on the streets you live in" "Try to remain invisible" (subtlemob.com) Want to take part? (STEP 1) Please register your email address on subtlemob.com, Duncan Speakman & Vooruit will provide you with an MP3 and a map with instructions. Or click "I like this" on facebook.com/subtlemob, the MP3 and the instructions will be posted there, too. (STEP 2) Download the file onto your own MP3-player or phone. (STEP 3) Bring a friend, who has the same sound file ready, and turn up at the secret location at the specified time. (STEP 4) Enjoy the ride for 33 minutes. The city turns into the setting of a short story in which you are both actor and audience. The project already took place in London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Aukland,... Participants raved about the experience! "Capricious and profound, the experience definitely captures what it is to escape from the world for a little bit - then return and find that you see things just a bit differently." (The Londonist) Full overview performances: Wed 13 - Sat 16 Oct 7 pm and 10 pm 'C.O. Journeys' - Christoph Ragg & Joanna Baillie Spectators step into a giant "camera obscura" (a sealed box with a small opening for light. What takes place in front of the camera is projected onto a surface inside the box). Ragg & Bailie take the audience on a journey where fiction and reality meet, aided by biographies and documentaries. But not all of these sources are reliable... Wed 13 - Sat 23 Oct (not Mon) 7 pm and 10 pm 'Stillivingrooms' - Mirco Santi & Andrea Belfi A small, but unforgettable living room performance in which old home movies from the 1930s-1980s are projected onto doors, windows, furniture,... Amplified subtle domestic sounds contribute to the intimate atmosphere. Fri 15 + Sat 16 Oct 8 pm 'Your brother. Remember?' - Zach Oberzan A 'remake' of a childhood game: re-enacting Jean-Claude Van Damme films with your brother! Thu 21 Oct 8 pm Subtlemob 'As if it were the last time' We all know flashmobs. Duncan Speakman now launches the "subtlemob". Almost Cinema is treated to a movie-like soundtrack in this unique experience, to be shared with other participants and passers-by. Fri 22 + Sat 23 Oct 7 pm and 10 pm 'White Out' - Naomi Kerkhove & Ruben Nachtergaele Using no more than a black thread embroidered on a white sheet, Naomi Kerkhove manages to create colourful places and characters as she builds her own set. Multi-talented musician Ruben Nachtergaele of Kapotski, Boomfanfare and others will provide a suited, filmic score. Fri 22 + Sat 23 Oct 8 pm 'Koyaanisqatsi' - Ricky Seabra & Dirk Verstockt The cultfilm 'Koyaanisqatsi' (1982), for which Philipp Glass composed a hypnotising soundtrack, continues to influence artists today. Ricky Seabra and Dirk Verstockt place new images, spoken word and music opposed to the old message and aesthetics.

Symposium The Documentary Real Thu 21 Oct 2010 - 10 am-6 pm Vooruit (Domzaal), English spoken, free An initiative of KASK, Vooruit and Gent Film Festival, supported by VAF / Flanders Image The symposium The Documentary Real invites artists and theorists to interrogate the ambiguous relation of documentary film to reality. To what extent can a reel of film capture reality - if this is possible at all - and when can we say that it calls a new reality into being? Do not most films oscillate between 'document' and 'argument'; that is, between representing, rewriting and creating reality? Moreover, what strategies do artists use to document our daily lives? Is the detour through alienation and animation perhaps the proper way to make an outright and truthful work? Do new developments in media art provide new opportunities for documentary artists? Finally, how do these artistic experiments and their problems represent the culture we live in? Speakers : Cis Bierinckx (curator, artistic director Beurshouwburg Brussels), Stella Bruzzi (film theory, University of Warwick), Edwin Carels (curator, art theory, KASK), Marc De Kesel (Philosophy, Radboud University Nijmegen, Artevelde Hogeschool Gent), Katerina Gregos (curator), Johan Grimonprez (artist and filmmaker), Steven Jacobs (Art history, KASK & Antwerp University), Vincent Meessen (artist), Jasper Rigole (artist) and Duncan Speakman (artist). www.thedocumentaryreal.kaskprojecten.be Opening Filmfestival Gent in Vooruit Banksy Belgian premiere, unique screening at the opening night of the Film Festival Ghent 'Exit through the gift shop' Tue 12 Oct 2010 - 8:30 pm, Vooruit (Theaterzaal/Theatre hall) + discussion afterwards In collaboration with distributor BFD / A-Film "A film about a man who tried to make a film about me" is how the infamous British graffiti artist Banksy himself (?) describes his first feature. 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' tells the incredible true story of how Thierry Guetta, an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker, attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most well-known graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, it's basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed... A quote from a reviews in the US, where 'Exit through the gift shop' has been launched last Summer: "Exit Through the Gift Shop and enter the mind of Banksy' - Banksy's quixotic debut film is not only a triumph of guerrilla marketing; it's the closest the anonymous graffiti artist has come to unmasking himself."

To what extent can we still make a difference between ?public? and ?private?? According to philosopher Jean Baudrillard, ?the one is no longer a spectacle, the other no longer a secret?. Now that the most intimate details of our lives are thoughtlessly shared on the internet and the media, in order to feed an endless, compulsive loop of information, participation and circulation, it seems like ever more constraints and obstacles are being annulled. Surrounded and obsessed by a world of images, overcome by a gnawing insecurity, we submit ourselves to a regime of ultimate visibility. We are well aware of being seen, followed and remembered, but that is precisely what pushes us to all kinds of forms of disclosure, confession and ?selfploitation?. The mediatised gaze of the other, at the same time disturbing and stimulating in its elusiveness and omnipresence, has become the paramount point of reference for our obsessive search for identity and belonging. We show ourselves in order to become ourselves, while we irrevocably disappear behind our images. The uncanny transit zone where intimacy merges into transparency is the central theme of this programme. Four recent video works, each in their own way, explore the contemporary conjunction of media and subjectivity, in which it seems no longer possible to maintain an unequivocal relationship between watching and showing, subject and object, seeing and being seen.

The two-year, low-residency Master of Arts course has played a seminal role in the establishment of this new field. It opens a passageway for students into a deeper understanding of and a practical orientation in the most important developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned international theorists, artists, curators and many others. The November 2010 module will lay the foundation of Media Art Histories and Media Archeology, looking further into issues of creating, curating, collecting, researching and preserving contemporary Media Art; followed by an excursion with an intense and intimate look into ZKM (Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany).

Keywords are: Strategies of Interaction & Interface Design, Social Software, Immersion & Emotion and Artistic Invention. Using online databases and other modern aids, knowledge of computer animation, net art, interactive, telematic and genetic art as well as the most recent reflections on nano art, CAVE installations, augmented reality and wearables are introduced. Historical derivations that go far back into art and media history are tied in intriguing ways to digital art. Important approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology and the History of Science & Technology are discussed. DANUBE UNIVERSITY * located in the UNESCO world heritage Wachau is the first public university in Europe which specializes in advanced continuing education offering low-residency degree programs for working professionals and lifelong learners. Students come twice a year for 2 week blocks to Monastery G?ttweig in Austria. The Center in Monastery G?ttweig, where most MediaArtHistories courses take place, is housed in a 14th century building, remodeled to fit the needs of modern research in singular surroundings. International experts analyze the image worlds of art, science, politics and economy and elucidate how they originated, became established and how they have stood the test of time. The innovative approach at the Department for Image Science is reinforced by practice-oriented study.

Months of creative unrest and experimentation with alternative forms of organization and new forms of life. In the occupations of public spaces, in the new unionism and in the everyday forms of public protest, strategic alliances were formed between a multitude of social actors. As a result, new and unprecedented forms of struggle were invented and practiced. A year later, Greece was pronounced ?a state in debt crisis? on the verge of bankruptcy. Dramatic cuts in public spending and aggressive re-structuring policies were introduced as emergency measures, while intense and extensive policing has been attacking all forms of protest and dissidence and is deemed necessary in order to safeguard public order. The state of a permanent economic crisis is not a uniquely ?Greek? predicament, but represents yet one more episode in the crisis of the neoliberal state and of the capitalist organisation of production. The ensuing aggressive attacks on social welfare and workers? rights emerge as a common structural condition in the whole of the European South. This condition calls for new collective responses and the invention of new forms of creative resistances that will spread across borders. Following our desire for collective action across borders, we are organizing a two day meeting that will bring together social movement activists and thinkers from South Europe to discuss ways of reinventing the micropolitics of everyday life through new forms of political and economic organization and networking. The meeting will take place in Athens and will include: - An *open discussions with interventions by collectivities* on new forms of resistance that have emerged since the December revolt - The meeting will include *interventions by* *Antonio Negri, Sandro Mezzadra, Gigi Roggero, Andrea Fumagalli, Vassilis Tsianos, Dina Vaiou, Juan Domingo Sanchez, Zeleia Grigoriou, Maria Karamessini, Akis Gavriilidis, Stavros Stavridis, Illias Marmaras, Daphne Dragona, Nelli Kambouri, Pavlos Hatzopoulos, Dimitris Parsanoglou * - A general assembly discussing new strategies of resistance and new collective responses across borders to the crisis. *The meeting will take place in Athens, on Saturday ? Sunday 16-17 October 2010* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This virtual sit-in will take place for all of October 7th, from 12:00AM the night before to 11:59PM the night of. We need hosting for this action. Please contact any of us if you can provide hosting for the html files for the action. Recent actions taken on March 4th by students, faculty, staff and allies around the world were joined online by a virtual sit-in. The swift and violent response to the virtual sit-in from the UC administration and police against Ricardo Dominguez only reveal the effectiveness of the action and must be seen as part of a larger strategy of the criminalization of resistance including the arrest of hundreds of faculty, students and staff around the world who are struggling to redefine what the future of education will be. The UC continues to make efforts to expand the prison-military-education-industrial complex in the face of demands, occupations, strikes and blockades by those willing to put their bodies, physically and digitally, on the line for a better future for education. By organizing this action, in the tradition of ECD as a distributed tactic as performed by the Electrohippies, the Federation of** Random Action and the borderlands Hacklab, we are demonstrating that the hydra has a million heads and Yudof, the Regents and their police cannot stop Electronic Civil Disobedience by putting their boot on the neck of one man. A virtual sit-in is a mass action by thousands of people and we will not be stopped. More virtual strikes can be expected until: * The budget cuts across the UC system are turned back * Those laid off in the past year are rehired * Charges are dropped and investigations ended against all of those arrested for struggling for the future of their education Join the actions in the streets, the campuses and the university buildings if you can.
