Next update: June 17th 2000 .................................... You are reading the second issue of the Ars Electronica newsletter, focusing on the winners of the Prix Ars Electronica 2000 (http://prixars.orf.at). The Prix Ars Electronica 2000 enters its 14th edition with 1,800 entries from 59 countries, thus presenting itself once again as the representative international show of achievements in art, research and entertainment in the digital age. German version of this announcement at http://www.aec.at/nextsex 1.1 Prix Ars Electronica 2000 .................................... "Particularly at a time, when the digital media are being taken over more and more by start-ups and e-business, the Prix Ars Electronica has an important role with its position and focus. The intention of the Prix Ars Electronica since its inception in 1987 has been to provide an internationally recognized platform for bringing together visionary ideas and alternative approaches to digital media outside the realm of industrial norms. With this year's results, the Prix Ars Electronica 2000 continues along this same path into the 21st century," says Dr. Hannes Leopoldseder, head of the jury as a whole and ORF Director of Information, whose initial idea led to the establishment of the Prix Ars Electronica in 1987. With prize money amounting to ATS 1.35 million (US$ 96,428), sponsored for the first time by A-Online, the Prix Ars Electronica with its cultural orientation is established as the top international prize for digital media. The competition as a whole was made possible through support from Datakom Austria, the VOEST-ALPINE STAHL, the city of Linz and the federal province of Upper Austria. The young people's category "u19 freestyle computing" is sponsored by the P.S.K. Austrian Postal Bank. The Prix Ars Electronica Award Presentation will take place during the Ars Electronica Festival on Monday, September 4, 2000 at the ORF Upper Austrian Regional Studio, and will be broadcast live at 9:00 p.m. on the satellite program 3sat. The program will be conducted by the ORF moderators Ingrid Thurnher and Josef Broukal. The best works in all categories will be shown at the O.K Center for Contemporary Art in the exhibition "Cyberarts 2000" beginning 2 September 2000. The award winners (Golden Nica and Awards of Distinction) will present their works to the public during the two-day artists' discussions on 5 and 6 September 2000. As a documentation of the competition, the book "Cyberarts 2000" will be published in September 2000 by Springer Vienna/New York as an international compendium. The best works from the category Computer Animation/Visual Effects will be available on VHS cassette and DVD. Excerpts from the prize-winning works in the category Digital Musics will be published on a CD. 1.2 Jury ....................................

Exit the technosublime, fascination with the medium and digital megalomania. Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians The question remains: which solutions function on our scale? What should we put in the wires? Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians Which images-sounds-words will go through these tubes? Who should I speak to? Who am I working with? Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians JV4 has been constructed after pragmatic reflection: how should things be done? How should we produce ourselves, how should we work together? How should technology be used, without being used by it? Gulliver in the eye of the Liliputians Disproportionate intimacy, a miniature public Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse The stakes of technology have familiarised us with a paradox: tools that allow us Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse to communicate are the by-products of spy systems, the webcam becomes democratic Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse at the same time as the network of closed-circuit cameras for shopping centres. Detournement and harnessing play cat and mouse We now have to live with this paradox. That is to say playing with (making use of) one's body The explicit body of performance How should one play with (make use of) one's body in the digital world? The explicit body of performance What is the value of organic presence as regards the machine? The explicit body of performance But also taming new bodies. The explicit body of performance What is the reality of virtual bodies? How do you mourn a foetus in 3D? Idea of the outline as a true geography Because, if they propagate words, the new media nevertheless remain stopping-off points in the indirect form Idea of the outline as a true geography Thus we can ask ourselves to what extent they modify words, Idea of the outline as a true geography And how they hawk these ideas of evaporation of identity Idea of the outline as a true geography constantvzw rue du fort straat, 5 1060 Brussels + 32 2 539 24 67 http://www.constantvzw.com info@constantvzw.com ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ Date: Thu, 04 May 2000 16:24:51 +0200 Subject: friday may 5th 2000 : NET AFFECTS online inauguration!

Jeanne has passed the torch to Alice Smits to organize Hotel New York 2000. Gallery 205 at PS1 is transformed into a replica of a hotel room of Hotel New York in Rotterdam, located in the former head office of the Holland-America line. Until 1978 people from all over Europa left for America from this harbor town to find their luck across the ocean. The studio is called the Willem de Kooning Room, in memory of Willem de Kooning who left Rotterdam as a stowaway on board of the Holland-America line to New York. With Hotel New York PS1 a cultural line to New York is created. During the year Alice Smits will invite artists to stay, work and present projects, performances, and lectures to the public. As a hotel room, Hotel New York echoes the history of travel and thus reflects the migration and nomadic movements of the contemporary art world. While artists and curators travel all over the world, the hotel room is where it all happens. Hotel New York is a space for live events focusing on artists projects that emphasis interdisciplinarity and public interaction. In the intimate situation of a living space, Hotel New York offers an interesting context for making and presenting such projects within the contemporary art museum. _____________ Sunday May 7 and Thursday May 11 through Sunday May 14, 2 - 6 PM Debra Solomon will present Holodeck New York 2000. Hotel New York will be transformed into a large-scale 3D drawing: Holodeck New York consists of digital video, webcam-generated video and semi-fictional web chat narratives. Solomon is pursuing a worldwide pilgrimage visiting the 'birthplaces of digital mythology' spanning three continents in 2000: The United States, Europe and Japan. In America she will visit locations and individuals that have been instrumental in forming a futuristic image of humans as it concerns the digital world. This includes biotechnical research facilities, computer hackers, robotics labs, aerospace facilities, virtual reality developers, cryotechnic agencies, terreforming institutes which explore ideas of colonizing space, and those searching for extraterrestial intelligence. Solomon's digi-persona, the-living, creates an interactive space where science fiction, phantasy and truth merge. It is expected that the constant stream of visitors through web-chats and video conferencing will not only witness this real life, fact-fiction account, but will actually be instrumental in its' creation." Born in the Mojave Desert in California Debra Solomon lives and works in The Netherlands since 1986 where she received her BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She has exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Kunsthal and the Dutch Electronic Art Festival ('86,'98) in Rotterdam, the Offenes Kulturhaus and the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, Austria, and at the recently launched Edith-Russ Haus in Oldenburg, Germany. the-living can be viewed at http://www.the-living.org To contact Debra Solomon living@the-living.org For information on Hotel New York contact Alice Smits via email 113163,120@compuserve.com or call 212 726 3048 ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ EOF ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
