This appeal from the global consumer and culture industries is now heard everywhere. It is directed just as much at the "flexible" worker in western Europe as at a shopping mall visitor in Shanghai; it serves right-wing demagogues as much as emancipation movements. What specific living conditions, what contradictory realities lie hidden in the promises of this appeal? Today, artists from the most diverse disciplines are concerning themselves with this question. Their eye is drawn to processes of transition, towards situations, biographies and places in motion. "du bist die welt" offers a terrain for these observations: film makers from China investigating the radical changes in their country, Argentinian theatre projects talking about the traumas of the dictatorship and of globalisation, sociologists from Europe critically analysing new forms of work, and fine artists tackling questions of nationalism, racism and migration. Videos and performances reflect the tension between tradition and modernity in areas of conflict such as the Lebanon after the civil war, post-Soviet Armenia or present-day Uganda. Diverse sounds tell of the construction of national feelings (for example in Belgrade), of the diasporic identities (e.g. in the New York Latino communities), or of cosmopolitan mobility (such as the electronica sites of Riga, Vienna or Buenos Aires).

We take it that film now operates in a more or less global environment, in which issues of translation come to the fore. Every film is, for some audience or another, a foreign film, and perhaps not only in terms of language. We want to think collectively about the foreignness of film, its historical and not-so-natural character. The current moment of flux in film's status in relation to TV, video, internet transmission, et. al. offers an occasion to make sense of film's transformed and transforming character. The presence of subtitles-a doubling of words and of word as image-will serve as a point of departure for thinking about what is more broadly at work and at play in the imbrication of word and image in the always potentially foreign film. Alphabet City is a book series produced by an international collective of editors, contributors, and designers formed in 1991. The collective is dedicated, in its anthologies, to combining theory, literature, and politics with the work of artists and architects. Over the past ten years Alphabet City has demonstrated how collaboration, thoughtful design, and critical engagement can create a new kind of publication that articulates fresh possibilities for reflection in a time of rapid global change. Alphabet City's editorial collective is distinguished not only by its presentation of the highest quality contemporary literature, essays, photography, art, and architecture, but also by its commitment to design principles that have earned it high praise and awards. Since 1991, Alphabet City has published the work of the following, among many others: Stan Allen, Ian Balfour, Georges Bataille, Stephen Andrews, Étienne Balibar, Maurice Blanchot, Christian Boltanski, Svetlana Boym, Catherine Bush, Massimo Cacciari, Eduardo Cadava, Rebecca Comay, Drucilla Cornell, Lynn Crosbie, Jacques Derrida, Atom Egoyan, Deborah Esch, Nuruddin Farah, John Greyson, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Thomas Keenan, Julia Kristeva, Laura Kurgan, Alphonso Lingis, Detlef Mertens, Farshid Moussavi, Sherin Neshat, Fernando Pessoa, Nino Ricci, Bruce Robbins, Andrew Ross, Saskia Sassen, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Paul Virilio, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Slavoj Zizek. previous volumes: Reading Gulf War TV (no. 1, 1991) Nations and Nationalisms (no. 2, 1992) States of Culture (no. 3, 1994) Fascism and its Ghosts (nos. 4/5, 1996) Open City (no. 6, 1998) Social Insecurity (no. 7, 2000) volumes in development: Lost in the Archives (no. 8) Rebecca Comay, issue editor Subtitles: Writings on the Foreignness of Film (no. 9) Ian Balfour and Atom Egoyan, issue editors Alphabet City welcomes submissions by email in plain text, rich text format (rtf), and portable document format (pdf).

Getting both to run easily next to each other is often a big hassle. In this workshop, we'll show you how it's done. Subjects covered are: - - partitioning your harddisk with tools like FIPS and partition magic - - using multi-boot utilities as LILO - - installing Linux in a file on your windows partition. More info: http://squat.net/ascii/events Time: 19:30. Free entrance Thu 05-04: Mumiaplein: "Killing Time," Liesel Evansa, 50 minutes. - ----------------------------------------------------------------- The doc shows Dobie Williams, a black man on death row in Louisiana, awaiting his execution. Although in the doc itself Dobie Willams gets a stay, he eventually got killed on January 8, 1999. The day after his execution Sister Helen Prejean wrote: For the first time, I believe, I befriended a truly innocent man on death row. Innocence or guilt does not matter to me in struggling against the death penalty. I do not believe the state should be torturing and killing people, even guilty people. But this man, Dobie Williams, a 38-year-old indigent black man, I believe, was railroaded to death for the death of a white victim in a small,racist Southern town. He fit the death row profile perfectly, especially in the South: a poor black man accused of killing a white woman with an all-white jury as the constitutionally guaranteed "jury of his peers." He had a terrible defense -- no defense. The prosecution got everything they asked for -- including Dobie's death last night -- after 14 years and 12 death dates and stays of execution. Time: 19:30.

Free entrance Thu 19-04: Mumiaplein: "BUSINESS BEHIND BARS" - --------------------------------------------- Part 1 US, Part 2 Australia", Catherine Scott, 104 minutes. Part One: USA is about business behind bars in the United States. The film's main focus is on the jailers and the glitzy commercial arena of the prison industry. This is contrasted with the world of their captives living out their confined lives on the inside. How do these parallel and opposing universe affect each other? What happens to justice in a market driven climate where money is made out of deprivation of liberty. Part Two: Australia Australia has the highest proportion in the world of inmates in private prisons. These facilities are financed, built, managed and owned by US and UK corporations. Part Two questions prison management and accountability, and reveals the personal struggles of inmates and former prisoners: deaths in custody, self-harm, riots, surviving after release. Issues of law and order and mandatory sentencing confront us daily. Is the combination of a private prison industry and harsher sentencing polices the way to go? We're dealing in a situation where society as a whole is clamoring for a so-called get tough on crime approach, locking up more and more people for longer and longer periods of time and that inevitably has an effect on the kinds of conditions people i are locked up in.

Therefore, we call on the 39 pharmaceutical companies that are blocking implementation of this legislation with a lawsuit to withdraw immediately from the case. With over four million already infected with HIV, South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the world. Very few can afford the treatment that has extended and improved the lives of people in richer countries. Since 1998, the pharmaceutical industry has blocked the medicines legislation, claiming it would infringe on their patent rights. During that period, 400,000 South Africans have died of AIDS-related causes. High prices are effectively denying medicines to poor patients, condemning them to a premature death. We call on the 39 pharmaceutical companies to withdraw immediately and unconditionally from this case. And we call on governments to support the people of South Africa by also urging the companies to drop their case. Sign the Drop the Case petition by April 15 http://www.msf.org Thank you for your concern, Medecins Sans Frontieres >unquote< ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 13:44:58 +0300 From: "ALAS" <alas@ath.forthnet.gr> Subject: THE NEW BODY XPERIENCE symposium in Athens This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_00ED_01C0BAB1.F103A6E0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-7" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable =20 ''e-phos 2001'' 3rd International Festival of Film and New Media on Art 23 May -2 June / Athens, Greece organizes=20 s y m p o s i u m=20 <the New Body Xperience> IME, 254 Pireos str.=20 Athens, Greece=20 e-mail:alas@ath.forthnet.gr tel:00301-7520064-5 fax:00301-7520064 p a n e l s=20 Saturday, May 26 " THE HYBRID BODY AND THE MONSTER "=20 " SPORTS AND DANCE " =20 Sunday, May 27 " TECHNOLOGY AND BODY WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN ART AND SPORT " " LOGOS AND BODY IN PERFOMING ARTS=20 BEYOND ORDINARY TIME & SPACE MORPH"=20 =20 speakers MATT ADAMS artistic director BLAST THEORY, UK=20 DANIEL ASCHWANDEN choreographer BILDERWERFER, Austria JOE DAVIS bioartist, USA=20 SCOTT DE LAHUNTA choreographer, UK JENY MARKETOU netartist, Greece YIANNIS MELANITES artist, Greece MARTA MENEZES bioartist, Portugal ARMANDO MENICACCI dance & technology theorist, France KLAUS OBERMAIER media artist, composer, Austria ORLAN body artist, France ASPASIA PAPADOSPERAKI artist, Greece PAOLO ROSA artistic director Studio Azzurro, Italy KATIA SAVRAMI dance theorist, Greece=20 YACOV SHARIR choreographer, Israel/USA=20 STELARC perfomance artist, Australia MERYL TANKARD choreographer, Australia ARND WESEMANN dance critic Ballet Tanz, Germany list not final=20 =20 in collaboration with=20 Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Development, Ministry of Press,=20 Foundation of the Hellenic World, Hellenic Institute of Audiovisual,=20 British Council, Goethe-Institut Inter Nationes,French Institute of = Athens,=20 Dance Festival of Kalamata, Superior School of Fine Arts, Tanz Perfomance Koln-Germany www.filmart.gr=20 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 16:11:02 +0200 From: Station Rose <gunafa@well.com> Subject: Webcast 136 with topic "Leitmotif" + Spring-Tour STATION ROSE STReaming-Fahrplan: <http://www.stationrose.com> dear Gunafa Netizen, here is the new Fahrplan plus the Spring-Tour Schedule: 1.0 - NetSTReam - Webcast 136 with topic "Leitmotif" 2.0 - Station Rose Live audio-visual performances/live STReams 3.0 - announcing: Station Rose WEBCAST LOUNGE 4.0 - Webcast135 - LIPS on demand 1.0 NetSTReam - Webcast 136 with topic "Leitmotif" tonight WED/29.3.01, 9pm CET http://www.stationrose.com - ---------------------------------------------------------- topic: "Leitmotiv" incl. live rehearsal for coming performances content: developing the artwork, the whole installation, as well as the curating for the forthcoming project: "Station Rose Webcast-Lounge" at Art Frankfurt.

Most of the Australian artists will be presenting new work which has never previously been seen in Europe. hybrid<life>forms takes the viewer into the lush undergrowth of contemporary Australia: strange confessions, dark memories, hybrids. As has been the case for its flora and fauna, Australia's isolation has had peculiar effects on its artists too. They bring invisible life to the surface in various ways, producing unexpected results. The enormous diversity and vitality of technological growth is central to hybrid<life>forms. Like Europe, Australia has been quick to pick up on new developments. Australian artists immediately went in search of the worlds in and behind the computer, reflecting upon and experimenting with the complex distinctions and connections which created a sanctuary for new visions. The artists in the exhibition reflect on both digital media and cultural and social life. Patricia Piccinini's work The Breathing Room reflects on the tensions which arise as soon as new technological developments (electronics, biochemical and gene technologies) enter everyday life. In "The Breathing Room" we seen fragments of a body, moving pieces of skin, accompanied by quiet breathing. What we see is recognisable, but not wholly real. Suddenly, without any clear reason, the images appear to be caught up in panic. In her photo series west/ward/bound Brenda L Croft throws light on how black and white live together in contemporary Australia. In general, the Aboriginal people are portrayed as exotic, alien, other. With her work, Croft makes it personal. Justine Cooper's installation and videowork Rapt lets us see the inside of the body. Making use of 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging,' Cooper scanned her body. She manipulated the results into a poetic vision of a world in which we literally live. Tracey Moffatt, well known in The Netherlands, acquired wide recognition with her videoworks Night Cries and Heaven. In her new work, Artist, (in collaboration with Gary Hillberg) she sets before us the Hollywood stereotype of the creative, tortured and suffering artist. Outtakes of artists from classic Hollywood films, documentaries and TV programmes, crossing the screen in quick montage, show us the different stages of inspiration, creation, and subsequently the destruction of paintings. In a comic manner, Artist breaks through the romantic aura that Hollywood has created around artists. After the production of a number of CD-roms, including Cyberflesh Girlmonster and In my Gash, multimedia artist Linda Dement returns to photography with her project Euridyce. Like her CD-roms, her digital photographs exhibit her macabre and immediate manner of working. Seen from a feminist perspective, representatives of "monstrous femininity" encompass desires, revenge and violence. With Euridyce, Dement demonstrates that photography still has much to offer. This serie of images has been produced in response to Kathy Acker's story Eurydice in the Underworld. This project is assisted by the Australia Council, the Australian Government's arts funding & advisory body, through its Audience and Market Development Division and New Media Arts Fund, the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds For more information and visual materials: NIM: Marieke Istha (Communications), Annet Dekker (Exhibitions): tel. +31 (0)20 623 7101; fax: +31 (0)20 624 4423; e-mail info@montevideo.nl The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 1:00 through 5:00 pm Free admission.

Everybody, who is just surfing around the net, has to confront with always appearing advertising banners, icons or trademarks. By mirroring them with the permanent addresses in the HTML-code on the web, the direct connection is created. The current appearance of such banners depends alone on the initiator. This process lends an incontestable actuality to the entire work, until all the segments resolve in the internet. Furthermore the Trashconnection shows digital creations of net-art. ------------------------------ # 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
