Thursday-Saturday, November 2-4, 2000 http://www.modcult.brown.edu/amm For two-and-a-half days, participants in the conference will engage and interrogate rhetoric about electronic media that describes them as fundamentally new, irrevocably transformative and virtually unstoppable. Refusing to rely on descriptions such as "new" and "digital" (for what medium has not at one time been new, or is not now produced digitally?), the conference will highlight mixed-media art and scholarship. It will seek some alternative interpretations and understandings of the singularity of electronic content, context, form, and audience, as well as another map of the ways in which media have always been multiple. Archaeology of Multi-Media seeks to integrate historical scholarship and emerging modes of media theory, and to link the study of multimedia with existing work on 'traditional' media, as it opens some emergent spaces of mixture and multiplicity in present research and action. In order to do this, we will launch the conference with a performance/lecture Thursday night by the digital collective Mongrel (a U.K.- and Jamaica-based artists group set up to explore issues of race, technology and new-eugenics, and an agency to co-ordinate and set up other new media projects so that those locked out of the mainstream can gain strength without getting locked into power structures). This event will be followed on Friday and Saturday by eight ninety-minute panels, as well as student mixed-media displays, covering issues like: film, television and video, and print and or as electronic media; language and systems; conflict media; identity and difference; and social movements. "The Archaeology of Multi-Media" brings together an international group of scholars, artists, activists, and technologists, including: Geoffrey Batchen (cultural criticism/history of photography; University of New Mexico, U.S.A.)

Last year(s) were reported here in http://www.nettime.org/nettime.w3archive/199908/msg00132.html and we're now building on that, both technically and conceptually, if all the tech works *knock-knock* (on wood). Technical info and links to streams&programs will be at http://an.org/airguitar/ within hours. Basic description here: At 22.00 Finnish time, 10pm EET DST (8pm GMT, right?), after the annual airguitar world championship competition, all the world will join and play together in harmony. The event takes place in Oulu, Finland, as a part of the music video festival (http://www.omvf.net/). Besides the netcast for you to follow, it is all about how people from the net can participate, and trying to make them - you - present for the audience out here on the market square. an-Toni as airguitar@ (sorry about posting this so late - was so busy with the tech that lacked on the invitations activities..) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 10:37:48 +0200 From: Ute Lenssen <Lenssen@bauhaus-dessau.de> Subject: Bauhaus Award Event City Conference The Bauhaus Award The first International Bauhaus Award will be presented on September 16, 2000. One prize will be awarded for outstanding achievements in architecture and urban development, a second in art and new media, while the third award is a special prize for academic and conceptual work. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation will be conferring the Bauhaus Award every two years in the future. It focuses on the themes at the center of the Bauhaus' work, namely city and urban design. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has asked more than 100 international designers from various backgrounds to bring forward potential candidates for the award. Following a pre-selection by the jury, successful applicants will have the opportunity to present their work at the Bauhaus on September 16, 2000. On this day, the final decision will be made. Thematic Focus: Event City The urban entertainment culture of the 21st century, the event city, is made up of theme worlds given over to spectacles, enjoyment, consumption and entertainment.. Malls, theme parks, raves and leisure centers have become hallmarks of big cities. Urban entertainment centers bring together shopping, entertainment and event under one roof and are celebrated around the world as successful examples for the revitalization of inner cities. How can architecture and art maintain their claim to provide guidance when our entire everyday world is increasingly stylized into a holistic work of art? What can architecture and art contribute to the design and integration of an event city? The Bauhaus will address these issues and others at the 2nd International Bauhaus Kolleg starting in September 2000.

Replica is pleased to present "this boy could be me" (following Pasolini's statement on the gaze at the object reflecting the viewer's desire), an exhibition which explores how we recognize identities of others and how we place ourselves in relation to the other. The exhibition comprises images that address the complexity of human identity presented by models of fashion and advertizement; individual, corporate, or familial portraits; environmental photographs as well as anonymous footage.=20 The show also explores how a particular space, that of Replica Theater & Art Center, can be a site across which different identities could pass, how it constitutes conditions for vision and recognition. =46or more information: www.replica.nu or call Olga Kopenkina at 08 650 08 84. e-mail: project@replica.nu _________________________________ Replica Theater & Art Center Hantverkargatan 78 112 39 Stockholm ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 23:34:57 -0400 From: NOMADS <nomads@nomadnet.org> To: nettime@bbs.thing.net Subject: Project Room: still-life still-life by John Hudak http://www.nomadnet.org/still-life/index.htm three times a day you may see us through van gogh's starry night palette. other times a dining room a cat or a book. every three minutes another look. NOMADS is pleased to announce the launch of still-life, a new web project by John Hudak created for our on-line Project Room. In still-life, Hudak points a black and white webcam at his dining room table capturing a still image every three minutes which is then colorized utilizing van gogh's starry night palette. Each individual image is further converted to audio, creating a unique soundtrack which is updated every time a new still-life is transmitted. Playing-off the notion of a webcam as a surveillance or voyeuristic device, Hudak instead creates a painterly portrait of his life and surroundings. Hudak is a sound artist whose work has been presented on numerous cds and in live performances. He has also created a number of web-based works including three projects for turbulence (http://www.turbulence.org). still-life requires the QuickTime 4.0 plug-in. --- NOMADS www.nomadnet.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: lockard@socrates.Berkeley.EDU Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 15:42:11 -0700 (PDT) To: nettime-l@bbs.thing.net Subject: Bad Subjects -- Calls for Papers BAD SUBJECTS: Politics of Everyday Life CALL FOR PAPERS 2000-2001 Bad Subjects is seeking short, accessible essays relating to the politics of everyday life. Essays should be short (around 3000 words) and should be written in accessible and jargon-free prose. Writing that combines practical issues with theoretical consideration will be especially appreciated. Feel free to query issue editors on essay proposals. Visit the journal at http://eserver.org/bs/ Issue topics for 2000-2001 include: * Spirits * Improper Intellectuals * Alienated Labor * Strangers * Garbage * BOOGIE! SPIRITS -- Bad Subjects #51 We are continuously surrounded by the image, suggestion, and even presence of spirits. Perhaps someone gave you a boxing alien doll for your birthday, or your mother channels on weekends, or you are a day-trading slave to the sinister "invisible hand." A spirit can be something undead, something all-too-dead, or magic that guides the living. Depending on your perspective, we have an overabundance of spirits in our everyday lives, or an underabundance. In overabundance, we have the spirit of capitalism -- no longer in the form of the Protestant ethic -- but in the form of a god-like deus-ex-machina to be revered, not explained. Inexplicable phenomena make for good popular cultural fare, even with the X-Files' ratings on the decline. Even the human genome could be thought of as a map of the human spirit. But at the same time the contemporary popularity of irony and cynicism among the cultured bourgeoisie point to an age devoid of spirit -- of course they also point to the spirit of the age. Subjects for consideration might include: Zeitgeists; poltergeists; the spirit of revolution; the dead; wine and other spirits; school spirit; aether; marginal experiences; science and the spirit world; The Skeptical Enquirer; the Tao, feelings of debt, loss, or grief; spirit photography; radio waves; spirituality; psychic phenomena; trips through time; disembodied beings; angel cards; millennial movements; qi, graveyards; the alien fetish; or credit (perhaps the defining spectre of our era). Deadline for submissions is September 7, 2000. Send submissions to issue editors Jonathan Sterne <jsterne+@pitt.edu> and Megan Shaw Prelinger <alysons@earthlink.net>. IMPROPER INTELLECTUALS -- Bad Subjects #52 Walter Benjamin once bitterly described the condition of being an intellectual as the experience of a perpetual state of homelessness. "The problematic situation of intellectuals," Benjamin argued, leads them to question their own right to exist because society consistently denies them the means to exist, i.e. easy access to respectable forms of employment whose middle class status is simply unquestionable. While Benjamin's beliefs were rooted in his own difficult personal experiences of having his dissertation rejected, and an inability to find proper employment doing what he did best - writing; nonetheless, Benjamin extrapolated from his circumstances that there is a certain lack of cultural value placed upon intellectual activity that ideally culiminates in an experience of political radicalization. In the Improper Intellectuals issue, Bad Subjects would like to invite contributors to explore Benjamin's thesis. Is the alienating experience of being an intellectual really all that radicalizing? For that matter, what's so alienating about intellectual life anyway? Go nuts. Submissions to issue editors Joel Schalit <riotgoy@ix.netcom.com> and Geoff Sauer <gsauer@cmu.edu> due October 17, 2000. ALIENATED LABOR -- Bad Subjects #53 For Marx, capitalism represented "the domination of thing over man, of dead labor over living labor, of the product over the producer." It's a formulation worth recalling in this era of globalization, when mainstream pundits paint the free market as a fountain of youth. And it's one that the activists who participated in the "Battle in Seattle" and subsequent protests against the WTO, World Bank, and other institutions have taken to heart, whatever their position on Marxism. The Alienated Labor issue takes Marx's formulation as the starting point for an exploration of the nature and manifestations of working people's alienation under capitalism. How do we confront and contend with work that we realize is for the benefit of the "prosperous few?" How do we organize workplaces to reclaim the fruits of labor for ourselves? How do we combat the alienation of life energies at work, at home, and on the streets? This issue invites essays on the politics of labor; labor organizing drives and activism; malcontent workers; non-compliance, disobedience, sabotage, work actions and strikes; identity politics and labor; "illegal" labor (like that of undocumented workers or prostitutes); migrant labor; unemployment; working at home and telecommuting; 9-to-5 dead-end jobs; mental health and work; occupational health; bad bosses and tyranny in the workplace; the "disappearance of labor" in consumer economies; laboring for a survival wage; the anomie that comes with meaningless work; and other related topics. Contact issue co-editors Charlie Bertsch at <cbertsch@u.arizona.edu> and Joe Lockard at <lockard@socrates.berkeley.edu> if you are interested in contributing. The deadline for finished articles will be November 28, 2000. STRANGERS - Bad Subjects #54 There are strangers in our midst. Every day we deal with people who are to varying degrees unfamiliar to us. Often these interactions take place without much awareness on our part: they barely register on our social radar screen. We buy groceries from complete strangers, exchange pleasantries about the weather with them, or simply pass them on the street -- all without giving it as much as a second thought. But at other times, the strangers in our midst become the focus of our attention, eliciting from us strong responses loaded with political meaning. With hot heads and anxious hearts we denounce the influx of 'foreigners' and 'aliens' into our communities, calling for their expulsion, incarceration or marginalization. Or, in a move equally fraught with political and cultural significance, we travel to the opposite end of the spectrum and eagerly embrace strangers, treating them as fetishes upon which to project our innermost desires and fantasies. And, of course, sometimes the shoe is on the other foot and we find ourselves playing the part of the stranger, when, for example, we travel to another country, interact with a cultural scene different from our own or simply drive through a new neighborhood. Possible topics might include: the marking of certain groups as 'strange'; the definition of strangers, aliens, and foreigners in the politics of immigration and multiculturalism; travel and the experience of being a stranger; personal experiences of feeling strange, odd, and out of place; aliens and extraterrestrials; the stranger in film, literature, and other types of pop culture; discrimination against strangers; exotic strangers; threatening strangers; strangers and fear. Deadline for submissions is January 23, 2001. Send submissions to issue editors John Brady <jsbrady@socrates.berkeley.edu> or Steven Rubio <srubio@hooked.net>. GARBAGE -- Bad Subjects #55 Today we live in a world were consumption of innumerable products continues to grow. With each new product or market niche discovered and exploited, the capitalist law of designed obsolescence becomes more apparent. Everything we buy ends up in a landfill coming to a low-income neighborhood near -- but not too near -- you. What is the role of garbage in our world today? Is there such a thing as garbage in the material sense, or as demonstrated by the intense rise in collectibles of every sort over the past five years, has capitalism managed to turn its waste into something other than garbage? What then are the new disposables of the 21st century? Is garbage now confined to immaterial social institutions and beliefs once viewed as indispensable? Property values now matter more than accessible housing. Profits for share holders take precedence over stable labor markets and wages that maintain a quality standard of living. What is the status of family? Friendship? Love? Parenting? Charity? Ethics? This is not an old-fashioned argument for right-wing Christian family values. Rather it is a query to explore the interrelationship of the continual rise of material commodities to the point where almost everything that's physical is potentially a sacred material commodity and the seeming restructuring of the immaterial as expendable, unimportant, irrelevant -- garbage. What is garbage today -- and why? Deadline for submission is March 6, 2001. Send submissions to issue editor Robert Soza <r_soza@uclink4.berkeley.edu>. BOOGIE! -- Bad Subjects #56 More than just music, BOOGIE! suggests its expression through dance, an attitude, assertion and a way of moving. "Boogie" depends on *beat,* which, in the broader sense, reflects and may drive the rhythms of our behavior outside the disco. To cover the sound, the groove and fingerpoppin' of daily life, we seek analysis of the progressive, regressive and repressive in Punk, Rap, Dance, Pop, Country, Crossover Classical, and other, underexamined or unfashionable, musical forms. Replay the politics of music and power, music sold to us, music taken from or by us, musics and communities, music's facilitating technologies, that insistent beat and the power-chord moments when music helped us make political sense of this mystifying world. >From Bronx Italians in Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam" to suburban New Agers and those execs on Robert Bly retreats finding their inner African via tropical beats, boogie brings together disparate communities in a symbiosis as universal as the drum itself. In the midst of Manchester's post-urban techno-wasteland, rave culture asserts its organic pulse. Liberation through Ecstasy? Or just more agony? For others, "let's boogie" is just a way to say "I'm outta here!" What does BOOGIE! mean to you? Deadline for submissions is April 17, 2001. Please send submissions to issue editors Mike Mosher <mikemosh@well.com> or Lindsey Eck <music@gvtc.com>.

It is a collaboration between artists across the media; performance, writing, visual art, sound/music, video and participatory events. There will be an exhibition, Colourscape music, the Small Miracles free newspaper and website, an audio CD of Lea Valley sounds and stories, a treasure hunt and a boat travelling down the canal which converts into a cinema by night. Featuring Anna Best; John Bisset; Rupert Carey; Peter Cusack; Simon Faithfull; Ella Gibbs; Mss Producers; Viv Corringham; John Wynne; Jeff Higley; Tomoko Takahashi; and Colourscape. Colourscape A vast sculptural environment full of musicians and artists, drawing on performers from the local ethnic communities and running the whole of the first weekend of The Week of Small Miracles.
