dear etoy.SHAREHOLDER, FRIEND, TOYWAR-ACTIVIST,
after sending out the TOYWAR game invitation (on friday
/ last seconds of the old century) a neutral research
commission found out that more than 80 percent of all
recruited TOY-AGENTS failed the registration process.
the etoy.RECRUITERS encourage all of you to try hard.
it is just a question of your connections (an invitation
from another subscribed toy-soldier is needed),
intelligence, and endurance to enter the etoy.RESTISTANCE
platform http://www.toywar.com . we hope the community
understands that we can not accept every curious user in
this extreme media war zone. etoy has to protect itself
from spies, enemies and naive terrorists. that's why this
selection takes a few days before the actual battle
starts. etoy can not risk digital suicides and the injury
of innocent and unexperienced users. as soon as the first
700 elite pioneers have formed a strong TOY-TROOP and have
organized the battle field the next round will start. we
keep you updated. ... as soon as the first toy-bombs are
ticking on TOYWAR.com we will issue TOYWAR-GUEST-ACCOUNTS
for standard users (without permission to fight) just to
observe the net art activities from save seats behind
bulletproof windows. in a few days you can also purchase
guest accounts at the official TOYWAR-SHOP for 4.99$.
http://www.toywar.com/shop also offers the official toywar
sound track cd "lullabies for toywar.com". CHECK IT OUT!
AND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE LAWSUIT ?
*******************************************
hundreds of congratulation emails arrived at etoy.TANK17...
the underground press titled "glamorous victory of the
etoy.CORPORATION (net art giant) over eToys (plastic toy
giant)" after wired news reported that eToys Inc. thinks about
dropping the lawsuit against the etoy.CORPORATION.
this message rushed trough the news last week:
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,33330,00.html
etoy was not able to answer questions yet.
.... here is our official press statement:
according to our lawyer chris truax the situation is not
completely clear. we follow the contradictional statements
in the press... and we have the impression that eToys wants
to play the good guy now after they saw that the
destruction of etoy failed and their massive pressure on
the art group provoked a load of bad press (over 100
articles worldwide) and drove their stock down (wired news).
it seems they want to look better than they are. we have
the strongest impression that the statements they make to
the press and the ones they make to our lawyers are not
100% identical:
wired.com HEADLINE No.1 on december 30, 1999
etoy: 'The Fight Isn't Over"
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,33338,00.html
we do not reject talking to eToys but we don´t trust them so
far. first they try to kill us (by spending maybe half a
million dollars on lawyers), and now they try to turn back
the clock and say ...oh this was just a little misunderstanding!?
did we miss something?
two weeks ago we received a 30 pages fax from one of the
biggest newspapers in the us (they got the document from eToys)
with the request to comment on the submitted material. eToys
quoted the terms "offensive, depraved, insane, obscene,
prurient, perverse, destructive, anarchistic, rebellious and
anti-social in nature" in direct connection with the
etoy.CORPORATION. they sent out screen shots of some awarded
and ironic web art services which were not even posted on the
etoy.com site since eToys started to operate in 1997.
at the same time they offer a cute little plastic soldier of
the german SS troops on the eToys site (we dont like this like
they dont like the word "f*ck"...)
http://www.etoys.com/cgi-bin/buzz.pl?sku=1012690&store=et
the board decided to leave communication with eToys to our
lawyers. in the meantime the etoy.CREW concentrates on the
TOYWAR.community and offers etoy.POINTS to everybody who helps
to protect the etoy.com property (with legal tools).
while eToys is using the money from their shareholders to pay
the extreme expenses of this lawsuit we developed a new avant
garde art product called etoy.POINTS. the etoy.POINTS are not
etoy.SHARES! they just represent the etoy.CULTURE-VALUE in a very
abstract way. there is no connection to financial markets: IT IS
ART and we do not force anybody to love it ! but we sell etoy.POINTS
to those who like us. they don´t get anything but ART! ...ok: maybe
it also gives them the feeling that they support the right side...
it could be seen as an "investment" in a higher sense... but it´s
not a real(!) investment.
...we "left reality behind" ... long time ago...
note: etoy.POINTS are NOT etoy.SHARES and NOT apples or
anything else.
we hope to see you on toywar.com...
your etoy.AGENTS
etoy: generating cultural value & global impact ....since 1994
ps: the etoy.BOARD is taking a break. we do not respond to your
emails till january 7, 2000. in case of emergency: send sms messages
to our cell phones: urgent@toybomb.com (max 160 caracters!)
but first: visit the TOYWAR.shop: http://www.toywar.com/shop

Hi nettimers
There are only three more nights to participate in my piece "Vectorial
Elevation". Here is a brief description:
"Vectorial Elevation", a net.art installation that allows participants to see
and transform Mexico City's Historic Centre with 18 robotic searchlights. It
features a VR interface, webcams, telerobotics and 126,000 watts of power.
Operates until the 6th of January.

Dear Friend,
We like to inform You about the exhibition of Federico Baronello in Budapest
at Liget Gallery (Hungary, H-1149, Ajtósi Dürer sor 5., presented by Zsolt
Petrányi). We'll be glad to have you participating at the opening held on the
7th January 2000, at 7 p.m. with a video-lecture titled:
The Power of Love
1) Language
Language does not exist, for it doesn't belong to any of the sources that
already existed before it, on earth.
The thesis which asserts that a cultural chaos has been caused by capital
globalisation process, loss of the support by religious and cultural
traditions, dissolution of the last remains of precapitalistic societies,
increasing technical and social differentiation and tendency to specialism,
is denied by facts everyday.
Today civilisation gives to all its products a very similar way of looking:
film, radio and TV, the internet and whatever more, form in their
coexistence, a Unitarian system. Every sector is disciplined by itself and
its relations with others.
When you are part of a group movies can provide a common language.
The human being inner essence is confused, indistinguishable and complex.
Language intervenes as a strength which aims to deprive us of ourselves by
making us line up together with those who surround us, to model us on the
behalf of some common measure.
Language defines and perfects us, finishes and governs us. Resorting to
language reveals that the individual is unable to conciliate with the object
(nature, the exterior, but also the "authentic" self), because language
entails the discipline of exteriorly.
Absolute and without conditions, language, which is relative and
conditioned, is an illusion. Yet to that part of us by which we perceive it,
the law of its being is a law of truth. It must never be forgotten that
every one must begin at the beginning. And in the beginning the aspirant is
a rebel, even through he feel himself to be that most dangerous type of
rebel, a king dethroned.
2) The Art System
Conceptual Art revealed that the modernist compulsion for empiristic
self -reflexiveness not only originated in the scientific positivism which
is the founding logic of Capitalism but that, for an artistic practice that
interialized this positivism by insisting on a purely empiricist approach to
vision, there would be a final destiny. This destiny would be to aspire to
the conditions of tautology.
Given the conditions of rapidly accelerating fusion of the culture industry
with the last bastions of an autonomous sphere of high-art,
self-reflexiveness increasingly and inevitably came to shift along the
border line between logical positivism and the advertisement campaign.
Conceptual theories put in play a critique that operates at the level of the
aesthetic institution. It is a recognition that materials and procedures,
surfaces and textures, locations and placement, are not only sculptural or
painterly matter to be dealt with in terms of a phenomenology of visual and
cognitive experience or in terms of a structural analysis of the sign, but
that they are always already inscribed within the conventions of language
and thereby within institutional power and ideological and economic
investment.
What Conceptual Art achieved at least temporarily, was to subject the last
residues of artistic aspiration toward transcendence to the rigorous and
relentless order of the vernacular of administration.
But this was not just an other heroic step in the inevitable progress of
Enlightenment to liberate the world from mythical forms of perception and
hierarchical modes of specialised experience, but that it was also yet
another, perhaps the last of the erosion (and perhaps the most affective
and devastating one) to which the traditionally separate sphere of artistic
production had been subjected in its perpetual efforts to emulate the
regnant episteme within the paradigmatic frame proper to art itself.
Or worse yet, that the Enlightenment triumph of Conceptual Art - its
transformation of audiences and distribution, its abolition of object status
and commodity form - would most of all only be short-lived, almost
immediately giving way to the return of the ghost like reapparitions of
displaced painterly and sculptural paradigms of the past. So that the
specular regime, which Conceptual Art claimed to have upset, would soon be
reinstated with renewed vigour.
With the acceleration of the contemporary art sale's market, dude to the
unbelievable peaks and unavoidable falls of the New Expressionist artists
valuations, museum institutions starts to restyled and to spread all over
the most economic advanced countries.
The architecture design of the new buildings uses principles of "indirect"
commodification" and "adjacent attraction" which rationalise and
juxtaposition of commerce with culture. Non commodities values can be used
to enchance commodities or vice versa. Into the new museum architectures,
the constant movement, such as escalators, people movers, staircases,
bridges, balconies, multiple levels, provide infinite vistas from a variety
of vantage points, generating excitement stimulation and fragmented
experience. Today art institutions have much more in common with other
industrialised areas of leisure - Disneyland, shopping malls - than with
that idea of the preindustrialized museum made to protect the autonomous
sphere of high culture.
The paradox inherent in the relation between the revealed obsoleteness of
the artistic medium and the gigantic scale of the structure deputed to its
administration finds its resolution in the aspiring negative function of the
Art System in respect to the whole structure of the Cultural Industry.
Through its history, art has been transformed from means into provider of
religion.
On occasion of biennials, site-specific shows and less or more gigantic
multi-media/cultural events, art must culturalise conflicts concealing
urban, political and technological contradictions. Expanding the sphere of
high culture into areas of social life such as shopping, dining, but also
those politically correct activities through which are engaged minority
communities such as handicapped people, convicts, psychiatric patients,
children, coloured people, etc.
Binding back to uncertain idea of the unknowable, transcending reason,
transcendent being, art rationalise what the Cultural Industry might have
been left free from its influence, those marginalized social and spiritual,
areas of the contemporary global society.
3) Form
Through the displayed relation of servility between knowledge and power is
revealed a relation of truth.
Many knowledge meaningless and of no value because their not dude relations
with power issues within their formal structure.
The coherence within the form or style had always been very important for
the definition of the work of art before the unrestrained development of the
modernist discourse through the avantgardes and the post-war art.
The total acquiescence of the style in the work had a proper function, an
intolerant rigour in front of the chaotic expression of the suffering as a
negative truth. Within the style of the work the expression of the suffering
gained a kind of strength. Without this strength the existence itself would
have been lost unhearded because of its immediacy.
Form is a codification of language, fitted to describe certain classes of
phenomena and to express certain classes of ideas which escape regular
phraseology.
A terminology by means of which it is possible to equate the mental
processes of people apparently diverse owing to the constraint imposed upon
them by the peculiarities of their literary expression.
An instrument for interpreting symbols whose meaning has become obscure,
forgotten or misunderstood by establishing a necessary connection between
the essence of styles, sounds, simple ideas and their moral or intellectual
equivalents.
A system of criteria by which the truth of correspondences may be tested
with a view to criticising new discoveries in the light of their coherence
with the whole body of truth.

------------------
SHIFTS is a meeting of like minds.
It aims to gather together individuals from all over Britain, Europe and
further afield, who work or are interested and receptive to ideas generated
from within collaborative performance. These ideas cover topics as far
ranging as multimedia performance technologies, dance and site specific
installation work. SHIFTS hopes to broaden the scope of the subject, which
is choreography. A proposition that choreography is concerned with 'the art
of arranging information in time & space' allows for as broad a conversation
as possible and so becomes subject to a range of topics, which may
ordinarily be disregarded.
SHIFTS - Background
SHIFTS'99 took place on 28th February 1999 at the Backspace studio (London)
as the official sister event to IDAT '99 (International Dance and Technology
conference). Due to an extremely positive and welcome response, Barriedale
Operahouse have decided to make SHIFTS a yearly event.
We hope to echo last year's successful recipe of providing a diverse and
high quality program within a relaxed atmosphere of discussions,
web-broadcasts, talks and of course, beer and bagels.
SHIFTS - The program:
Talks / Lecture-Demonstrations

Graham Clayton - GRAVITY MAKES ME SAD - (Microcommission)
GRAVITY MAKES ME SAD comes from research into developments in sports science
to monitor athletes' response times to aggressive challenge.
The creation of this has been made possible by North West Art Board, IDEA
and DS99.
MICROCOMMISSIONS
Blast Theory - Sidetrack
Sidetrack is a 30 second excerpt from a movie chosen at random. The choices
involved in that excerpt are governed by a search for the unexpected or the
peripheral, shots that seem to come from (or be headed to) elsewhere. It's
a search for the hidden beauty in the everyday, for the unspoken moods and
sensations lurking beneath the surface.

Call for Proposals
conference web site is at
http://cmc.uib.no/~dac/
The third international Digital Arts & Culture Conference will be held in
Bergen, Norway August 2-4, 2000. This conference aims to embrace and
explore the cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural theory and practice of
contemporary digital arts and culture. As we step across the threshold to a
new millennium, the DAC conference affords us the opportunity to develop
and foster communication and understanding about digital arts and culture
across a wide spectrum of cultural, disciplinary, and professional
practices. To this end, we cordially invite scholars, researchers, artists,
computer professionals, and others who are working within the broadly
defined areas of digital arts and culture to join in the DAC discourse
community by submitting proposals for presentations to the Digital Arts and
Culture conference in the year 2000. Women and people from ethnic
minorities are strongly encouraged to submit.
Presentations may be in the form of scholarly papers or presentations; or
performances and installations incorporating electronic and digital
technologies and media. Collaborative presentations are encouraged, and to
aid our collaborative and cross-disciplinary objective, we are primarily
seeking submissions for three main types of sessions: (Single submission
per person only, please.)
Panels: Should consist of 3-4 presentations around a common theme.
Presenters will be given 20 minutes each with time for discussion.
Forums: Should consist of 3-6 presenters who will have 8-10 minutes
each to deliver position statements on a theme or topic set forth by
the forum organizer. Forums are roundtable type events that should
accommodate ample time for discussion among panelists and audience.
Performances, Installations: Can consist of individuals or groups.
Session formats may vary depending upon the presenters' needs and
wishes. Please note that we may not be able to supply highly>specialized
and advanced media or technical support.
Individual submissions are also welcome.
Ppanels and forums must include abstracts for each of the
proposed>presentations. Brief bios for each presenter must accompany the
proposals. All proposals must be submitted through the online
submission form at the DAC2000 web site on or before March 1. 2000.
Notification of acceptance will be given by April 1, 2000.
Welcome to DAC2000,
Jan Rune Holmevik,
Conference Chair
