Objet : INVITATION sous-terre dans le métro, dans le réseau, par votre
anonymat
SOUS-TERRE, the subnetwork
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Un site Internet de Grégory Chatonsky sur le métro, le réseau et l’anonymat
/ A Web Site by Gregory Chatonsky about the subway, the network and the
anonymity.
Sur Internet le 26 juin 2000 / On Internet 26 june 2000
http://www.sous-terre.net
Alt url = http://www.cicv.fr/creation_artistique/online/sous-terre/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sous terre, le métro, la mémoire d’un siècle, son organisation interne, son
histoire. Ses tunnels, des voyageurs qui passent et repassent. Toute une vie
que nous oublions sous les rues.
SOUS-TERRE ne ressemble à aucun autre site. Le cybernaute n’y vient pas
pour consulter des informations. SOUS-TERRE se dérobe à l’instrumentalité du
Net. Il faut changer de ryhtme, ralentir, s’arrêter, suspendre un instant le
flux du cyberespace.
Les images y sont obscures pour que la clarté du jour et l’obscurité de la
nuit influent sur ce qui est visible à l’écran. La navigation imprévisible
est un sampling continu, on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber. C’est un
labyrinthe dans lequel il s’agit de se perdre volontairement.
SOUS-TERRE est un lieu vivant qui évolue au cours du temps. Au départ un
espace vide, les internautes viennent y laisser des messages email, morceaux
d’une fiction dont nul ne connaît la fin et qui se constituera
progressivement au fil des interactions. Chaque partie a un nombre de places
limitées. Lorsqu’elles seront toutes remplies par les utilisateurs, l’œuvre
existera.
SOUS-TERRE est un espace narratif et u-topique qui relie le métro au Web :
un réseau où l’anonymat permet les rencontres et les surprises.
Nous sommes de passage sur le réseau, nous allons d'un endroit à un autre et
nous sommes plusieurs, à différents endroits de la planète, à être connectés
en même temps au même site.

Subject: New at TOL for Nebojsa Vilic
Dear Nebojsa Vilic,
This month's IN FOCUS package:
THE NEW E@STERN BLOC
The post-communist world is no stranger to the dot.com craze. But while the
West is grappling with the nuances of Internet law or the finer logistics
of online shopping, the East is battling against communist-style censorship
and surveillance, and the bumbling bureaucracies of state-run telecoms. In
addition to the following features, an overview compiled by TOL's editorial
staff, "The Cyber Challenge," (http://www.tol.cz/jul00/thecyber.html)
provides vital Internet stats and a brief overview for most of the region's
countries. And check each Monday throughout the month as TOL posts more
Internet-related stories.
IN FOCUS: Government vs. Geeks
by Andrej Krickovic
http://www.tol.cz/jul00/governme.html
The bluejean-clad youngsters at Iskon got what every Internet start-up
dreams about: An investor with deep pockets. When a U.S. company pumped $5
million into the Zagreb-based service provider, it turned the company into
a major player overnight. And at the same time presented a serious
challenge to the state-owned telecom monopoly.
IN FOCUS: Neither Here, Nor There
by Polia Tchakarova
http://www.tol.cz/jul00/neitherh.html
Bulgaria has come a long way in a short time -- especially in the
cyber-world. Still, the government is trying to maintain a delicate
balance: Letting the Internet realize burgeoning consumer demand while
keeping its monopoly on communication lines. How far Bulgaria's Internet
growth and e-commerce dreams can develop will depend on how the government
decides the question of fair competition. Accompanying this piece is a
sidebar by Boyan Gyuzelev looking at how, with the saturation of the U.S
and Western European Internet markets, Bulgaria could be one of the next
countries in the region to attract the big bucks.
(http://www.tol.cz/jul00/growingu.html)
IN FOCUS: Changing the Rules
by Jen Tracy
http://www.tol.cz/jul00/changing.html
As the world continues to forge a new electronic frontier, governments East
and West are attempting to control the Internet by bypassing established
laws and constitutional provisions. While the West champions sly
technological sophistication, the East leads the way in good, old-fashioned
repression.
IN FOCUS: Despots vs. the Internet
by Yerlan Askarbekov
http://www.tol.cz/jul00/despotsv.html
The Internet has just about as many enemies as it does friends, and Central
Asian governments are showing themselves to be some of its most odious
adversaries around. When not banned, the Internet in Central Asia is
heavily monitored and used by the powers that be for spreading propaganda
and crushing opposition. Service providers readily cooperate with
authorities to control the Internet, and there are few willing to head the
crusade against censorship.
WEEK IN REVIEW
compiled by our correspondents throughout the region
http://www.tol.cz/week.html
Russian doctrine challenges U.S. dominance ... At least 41 killed in
Russian truck bombings ... Ex-Communists win in Mongolia with landslide
victory ... Azerbaijan pardons 87 political prisoners ... Abkhazia
conflict nearer to settlement ... Life-long powers for Kazakhstan's first
president ... Swiss promise $1.2 million to Tajikistan ... Turkmen give
cold shoulder to free trade ... Montenegro apologizes to Croatia for war
crimes ... Romania decriminalizes homosexuality in private places ...
Vodka in danger of extinction in Belarus? ...

Presentation of the new CD:
"OTHER VOICES - echoes from a war zone"
by Gordan Paunovic
followed by a discussion of the question:
*CAN THE INTERNET MAINTAIN ITS ROLE AS A "DIRECT" MEDIUM?*
*The "other voices" from Belgrade are a dramatic example of
the role the internet can play in making audible the voices that
usually remain unheard in the prevailing government- or
corporation- regulated media. But, in the wake of the success
of the recent protests (J18, Seattle, etc.) which were based
on the efficiency of the internet as an alternative information
medium, the establishments - in London, Belgrade, Brussels,
Washington - are beginning to reassert their authority in
media matters. The demonisation of political or ideological
dissidents as "media terrorists" may be the first stage in
the restriction of free information exchange in the internet.
Is this where the new anti-terrorist laws in Jugoslavia and
Britain - and the recent restrictive actions of corporate ISPs
in the U.S.A. - are leading?
Participants in the discussion will include:
Gordan Paunovic, Veran Matic, Jasmina Tesanovic, Ivan Ivanji,
Gerfried Stocker and members of the Radiocafe audience.
An online Chat will permit participation from the network.
------------------
The CD " OTHER VOICES - echoes from a war zone" is a remix
by Gordan Paunovic of his 100-minute Live Kunstradio
programme, originally broadcast on April 29, 1999 from
studio RP4 in the ORF RadioKulturhaus, Vienna. The CD was
mastered in Belgrade by Robert Klajn.

"On Air!" will involve a total of 6 artists, three video artists (D.
Gonzalez Foerster, V. Grancher and E. Koeppel), one Japanese computer
jockey (T. Kogo) and a duo of disk jockeys (Radio Mentale). The visual
artists will mix on screen computer graphics and their videos, and Radio
Mentale will improvise live with film references, noises, ambiance
music, sound cliches, in a tornado shadowing the images generated in

Einleitung: Nachdem im Februar 2000 die ersten Absolventen des jüngsten
Fachbereiches der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) /Leipzig, ihr
Medienkunst Diplom ablegten, möchten wir Sie hiermit recht herzlich zur
Diplompräsentation der Absolventen des Sommersemesters 2000 einladen.
Die Fachklasse für Medienkunst unter der Leitung von Prof. Helmut Mark,
präsentiert am 7. Juli um 11.00 Uhr (Stephan Schröder) und um 13.00 Uhr
(Britta Frahm) zwei Diplomarbeiten, die beide soziale Aspekte auf das
Präsentationsmedium Netz abbilden, jedoch sehr unterschiedliche
Arbeitsweisen aufzeigen. ________________________ __ _ _
1. Britta Frahm .........................................."cellTV".
Britta Frahm, geb. 27.12.1972 in Freiburg i. Br., kam 1994 für das
Studium im Fachbereich Medienkunst an der Hochschule für Grafik und
Buchkunst nach Leipzig. Seit 1996 ist das Internet ein wichtiger
Bestandteil in fast all ihren Projekten. Dabei werden entwickelte
Raumkonzepte mit den Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten des Internets
erweitert. In der Gruppe Brainstar (http://www.brainstar.org) konnten
Ideen aus dieser Richtung umgesetzt werden. Bei den Installationen von
Brainstar, wie Studio Inferno (temporäres TV-Studio) oder Camping
(Ausstellungslounge/Kunstraum B2 Leipzig) ist die Zusammenarbeit von
Künstlern mit unterschiedlicher Spezialisierung für ein Gelingen
ausschlaggebend. Britta Frahm übernimmt in dieser Gruppe neben einer
organisatorischen Rolle und der Mitarbeit an Konzept und Raumgestaltung
hauptsächlich die grafische Darstellung der Gruppe. Die Designtätigkeit
ist neben den künstlerischen Projekten das andere Interessenfeld von
Britta Frahm.
1.1. .............................................Projektinformation
»cellTV« ist eine alternative Art Fernsehen von und für Jedermann. Als
Plattform dient das World Wide Web. Hier werden die Informationen
gesammelt und stehen zum Abruf bereit. Das System basiert auf einfachen
Begebenheiten und relativ leicht zugänglichen Produktionsmitteln. Die
Teilnehmer dokumentieren Handlungen ihres täglichen Lebens und
archivieren ihre Kurzfilme auf der Website http://www.celltv.org.
Lokales wird dabei in ein globales Umfeld übertragen und kann verglichen
werden.
Die entstehende Sammlung versucht gesellschaftliche und kulturelle
Gemeinsamkeiten oder Unterschiede festzuhalten.
Die Installation, die zur Präsentation zu sehen sein wird, entspricht
einer lokale Aktion, die neben der Distribution über Internet einen
weiteres Vermittlungsfeld für Projekt und Thematik eröffnet. CellTV
simuliert dabei Produktionsabläufe und informiert über Möglichkeiten zur
aktiven Beteiligung an dem Projekt. CellTV ist ein Versuch mit einem
offenen Kanal der zunehmenden Kommerzialisierung des
Broadcastingbereiches im Internet eine Gegenbeispiel zu bieten. Der
klassischen Einweg-Kommunikation wird mit der Möglichkeit der aktiven
Einflußnahme durch ein visuelles Feedback entgegengewirkt.

2. Stephan (Spiv) Schröder ................ "verybusy.org".
Stephan Schröder, geb. 21.04.1975 in Magdeburg, ist seit 1990 unter dem
Namen "Spiv" im Bereich der Computergrafik tätig. Bis 1996 realisierte
Stephan Schröder nationale und internationale Gruppenarbeiten auf
Homecomputern (C64, Amiga, PC) in der Computerszene, in der er
ausschliesslich als Grafiker tätig war. Nachdem 1995 aufgenommenen Studium
der Medienkunst an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst / Leipzig,
entdeckte er 1996 das Medium Netz als emanzipatorisches Mittel sich aus der
Gruppe aus Programmierern und Computer-Musikern zulösen und autark Projekte
zu realisieren. Stephan Schröder ist seit 1996 Programmierautodidakt in
verschiedenen Internetprogrammsprachen (HTML, Javascript, Perl, Java...)
und zugleich immer Grafiker und Designer geblieben. Stephan Schröder
arbeitet nicht interdisziplinär, sondern ausschliesslich mit dem Medium
Netz. Dies aber wiederrum mit der Prämisse, dass seine Projekte nicht seine
Position, sondern das soziologische Phänomen "Netz" als solches
thematisieren. 1997 realisierte er das Projekt "</BODY> - visual identity
on the net" (http://www.hgb-leipzig.de/body/), ein Familienalbum zwischen
"Frankenstein" (NBC Giga) und Avatar Netzidentität.
Nach 2 Jahren Entwicklungsarbeit stellt Stephan Schröder seine jüngste Arbeit
"verybusy.org - center 4 hardwired arts" (http://www.verybusy.org) vor.
2.1. .............................................Projektinformation
Verybusy.org (http://www.verybusy.org) ist zunächst einmal aus der
Notwendigkeit entstanden, dass es keinen zentralen Anlaufpunkt (Portal)
geschweige denn eine Suchmaschine für Netzkunst gab. Desweiteren lässt sich
Verybusy.org nicht in die üblichen Zweige aus redaktionell und maschinell
(Roboter) erarbeiteten Inhalte bestehender Suchmaschinen einreihen. Die
Suchmaschine für Netzkunst Verybusy.org, funktioniert autonom und
demokratisch, Produzent und Konsument verschmelzen zum "Prosument". Hier
definiert sich im Kant'schen Sinn Objektivität durch Intersubjektivität.
Verybusy.org ist als Katalysator und offene Bibliothek einer seit wenigen
Jahren bestehenden, aber unzureichend erschlossenen Netzkunstszene
konzipiert. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Versuchen offener Plattformen, wie BBS
(Bulletin Board Systems), die nun 10 Jahre zurückliegen, profitiert
Verybusy.org von einer wesentlich reiferen Infrastruktur im Netz.
Verybusy.org ist somit ein Rückgriff in die späten 1980er Jahre,
gleichzeitig soll der Server aber den Bedürfnissen des 21. Jahrhunderts
gerecht werden und die Aufgaben einer modernen und weltweit ersten
Suchmaschine für Netzkunst erfüllen. Der Brückenschlag ist dabei, dass
Verybusy.org nicht Contentprovider, sondern Contextprovider ist.

II. ENGLISH VERSION ::::::::::::::::::::: ..........:::::
Introduction:
In February 2000, the first group of students graduated from the Department
of Media Art, the youngest department at the Academy of Visual Arts
Leipzig. We would like to invite you to the examination presentations of
this year's graduates.The Media Class run by Prof. Helmut Mark will present
two graduation works on 7 July 2000 at 11.00 a.m. (Stephan Schröder) and at
1.00 p.m. (Britta Frahm). Both address social aspects of the medium of the
internet, yet each in a different way.
1. Britta Frahm .........................................."cellTV".
Britta Frahm, born 27 Dec.1972 in Freiburg, came to Leipzig in 1994 to
commence her studies in the New Media Department at the Academy of Visual
Arts. During the past few years she has participated in numerous
exhibitions and has been involved in various group projects.
Brainstar is one such group and includes artists specialized in different
fields and media, working together on projects that combine installations
and telecommunication technology. In this connection, the internet with
its abundance of livescreenings and chats is an important aspect of the
project. Britta Frahm began working with the internet in 1996 and has
reflected on mainstream aspects of her work as well as the group's
environmental and graphic design.
1.1. .............................................Projectinformation
As an alternative to commercial television "cellTV" applies the idea of
exploiting the World Wide Web to collect and broadcast information.
Everybody is invited to participate in the project, wherever they happen to
be, regardless of age and social background.
The system is based on very simple conditions and involves the use of
easily accessible resources. People videotape their everyday lives and
submit their short films to the archives on the website
http://www.celltv.org The resulting collection of material attempts to
define social and cultural differences and similarities.
The presentation of the project will include an installation to establish
an additional mode of distributing information on the project and its
themes. Thereby cellTV emulates production methods and gives information on
how to take part in the project. In contrast to conventional one-way
broadcasting, cellTV enables the participant to have direct influence on
it, focussing on dynamic visual exchange.
1.2. ................................................Where/What time?
Presentation of cellTV:

2. Stephan (Spiv) Schröder ................ "verybusy.org".
Stephan Schröder, born 21 April 1975 in Magdeburg, has been working in the
field of computer graphics under the name of "Spiv" since 1990. Until 1996
Stephan Schröder contributed to the realisation of group works on home
computers (C64, Amiga, PC) in Germany and abroad. In the computer scene he
was active as a graphic designer.
After having been admitted to the Media Art Department at Hochschule für
Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig in 1995, he discovered the net as a means of
freeing himself from the surrounding group of programmers and computer
musicians and to continue working autonomously. Since 1996, Stephan
Schröder has been teaching himself several different internet programming
languages such as HTML, Javascript, Perl, Java and so on, but has also
continued working in the field of graphic design.
Stephan Schröder does not work in an interdisciplinary manner, but rather
exclusively with the medium of the internet. However, this is based on the
premise that his projects do not seek to express his artistic position but
rather the sociological phenomenon of the internet as such. In 1997, he
created "</BODY> - visual identity on the net", a project comprising a
family photo album located somewhere between "Frankenstein" (NBC Giga) and
avatar net-identity.
After two more years of development on it, Stephan Schröder is presenting
his latest work: "www.verybusy.org - center 4 hardwired arts" (Netart
Searchengine)
2.1. .............................................Projectinformation
The main intent of verybusy.org is that there is necessarily no central
point or search database within the context of net-art at all. Furthermore,
verybusy.org cannot be subdivided into the normal categories of editor and
machine (robot) searchengines. The searchengine verybusy.org functions
autonomously and democratically, the producer and the consumer blend and
become a "prosumer". In this context, the Kantian notion of attaining
objectivity through inter-subjectivity appears particularly topical.
Verybusy.org was conceived as a catalyst and open library a number of years
ago within the still badly explored context of net-art. In contrast to
earlier attempts at establishing "open" modes of communication such as BBS
(bulletin board systems) some 10 years ago, verybusy.org can profit from a
much more highly evolved infrastructure in the internet. Thus, verybusy.org
refers back to the late 1980's, however at the same time its server should
fulfil the needs and requirements of the 21'st century as well as the tasks
of a modern, global searchengine. The vital link is that verybusy.org is
intended as a provider of contexts not content.
