Reception Friday, May 18 (6-9pm) In 1936, Walker Evans photographed the Burroughs, a family of sharecroppers in Depression era Alabama. In 1979, Sherrie Levine rephotographed Walker Evans' photographs from the monograph "First and Last." In 2001, Michael Mandiberg scanned these same photographs, publishing them on the Web sites AfterWalkerEvans.com and AfterSherrieLevine.com - virtual galleries designed to facilitate the dissemination of these images as part of a commentary on how we arrive at information in this burgeoning digital age. On AfterWalkerEvans.com you will find a browsable selection of these images, links to the high-resolution exhibition-quality images available for download and print-out, along with a certificate of authenticity for each image (that you print out and sign yourself) and, finally, directions on how to frame the image so that it will fulfill the requirements of the certificate. By making the image's URL its title - with titles such as "Untitled (AfterWalkerEvans.com/1.jpg)" - the images can be easily located and downloaded by anyone. By distributing the images online with certificates of authenticity, the images can be owned by anyone. Unlike the work of the late Felix Gonzalez-Torres - known for his spills of candy and stacks of paper from which the viewer can take a piece - Mandiberg's certificates are used to insure that each satellite image be considered equally authentic. In the work of Gonzalez-Torres the sole certificate of authenticity, and thus, the right to reproduce the work, is sold like a traditional art object. Mandiberg's work assumes an explicit strategy to create a physical object with cultural value, but little or no economic value. Michael Mandiberg is a conceptual artist who uses the net to explore issues surrounding commerce, labor, and language. His ongoing project Shop Mandiberg is a fully functional e-commerce web site that markets and sells every last one of his personal possessions. Shop Mandiberg (http://www.Mandiberg.com) has received 80,000 hits, and sold over 60 of his possessions to date. His work has been written about by the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Berliner Zeitung, Artbyte.com, Eyestorm.com, among others. His work is currently included in Net.Ephemera, curated by Mark Tribe at the Moving Image Gallery in New York. ______________________________________________________________________________ For more information please contact: info@AfterSherrieLevine.com, or 917-584-2177 Please click the following link for a print ready version of this press release: http:/www.AfterWalkerEvans.com/AfterWalkerEvans_PressRel.doc Please click the following links to access the sites: http://www.AfterWalkerEvans.com http://www.AfterSherrieLevine.com http:/www.Mandiberg.com - -- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 17:17:53 +0200 (MEST) From: Nina Stuhldreher <nina-temp@gmx.de> Subject: Fwd:_[roundtable]_Medienforum_M=FCnchen_Art_Award_2001_-_please_forward - --- Weitergeleitete Nachricht / Forwarded Message --- Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 15:15:23 +0200 From: Imke Boesch <Imke.Boesch@medienforum.org> To: roundtable@roses.de Subject: [roundtable] Medienforum München Art Award 2001 - please forward > Medienforum München Art Award 2001 > Deadline for receipt of materials: 25 June 2001 > > Mobile Goals > > After an era of land reclamation in virtual space, bought at the price > of slavish occupation at the computer work station, real space is > returning to the horizon of developers and artists as a relevant > parameter of technological innovation.

This will be followed in early June by a special multimedia presentation of Tech Flesh by some really amazing new media artists, all of whom work to unconceal the uncertainty field of the gene. Here's the formal announcement: The triumph of biotechnology as the key emergent tendency of the 21st century indicates that we may be entering a final phase of technology--harvesting human flesh. Breeding virtual bodies better suited to the vectors and virtualities of post-biological life. Widely hyped as a "bible of life" and a "map" to the future of human evolution, the Human Genome Project throws into sharp ethical relief critical social issues raised by this newest phase in eugenic experimentation. Simultaneously speaking in terms of the language of facilitation (post-genetics as about the eradication of disease and the extension of the human life span) and the language of control (genetic sequencing as the latest pharmaceutical version of the social hygiene movement), the Human Genome Project with its vision of pure genes and designer biology raises again the specter of scientific hubris and the silent political interests of a potential genetic superclass. With the collaboration of Eugene Thacker (Rutgers University/Georgia Tech), this issue of CTHEORY is devoted to a diversity of critical perspectives on the promise and perils of the Human Genome Project. Here, artists, writers and theorists provide an alternative, critical vision of the genome and its infotech ideology. We are grateful for the active and generous support of Boston College, particularly the Department of Sociology and its Chair, Professor Stephen Pfohl, in developing this issue, and we very much appreciate the technical assistance of Jeffrey Wells and Carl Steadman. In June, 2001, the multimedia version of Tech Flesh (http://ctheorymultimedia.cornell.edu), curated by Arthur and Marilouise Kroker and Timothy Murray, will be published and hosted by Cornell University's Electronic Publishing Program. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 23:02:46 -0700 (PDT) From: acm acm <artofficial2@yahoo.com> Subject: Aesthetics and education? What is VAC-UP? VAC-UP stands for "Virtual Aesthetic Curriculum User Program." It is a PROformance designed by artofficial construction media that attempts to address in both pragmatic and symbolic ways problematic aspects of aesthetic training in institutions of higher education, such as job placement. What is "problematic" about the "aesthetic training in institutions of higher learning"? Well, acm believes that there are many aspects of the education process that are problematic for aspiring cultural producers. There has also been some discussion of such problems in various other forums that suggests that it is not just us complaining. Some of the aspects we would like to address are: the contradictions in the inverted relationship between rising educational costs and decreases in "real" work opportunities; the small number of jobs available compared to the large amount of recruiting; the justification of these trends with neo-social Darwinism (the survival of the fittest) coupled with blatant social engineering. Does VAC-UP offer solutions, or just complain? VAC-UP is, of course, not an entity in the individual sense of the word. VAC-UP cannot offer solutions, per se, but is rather designed to aid in the development of possible solutions through an opening up of discourse about education. So, from acm's perspective, this is part of a solution, but we would caution that any interpretation of both problems and solutions include their political economy. What does ACM mean by "PROformance"? acm's use of the term "PROformance" is meant to suggest the connection between VAC-UP as a cultural product, and VAC-UP as a professional endeavor by ACM as educational practitioners. The performance method of VAC-UP does not preclude the affect of such actions beyond "the stage" so to speak. This is merely a continuation of established ideas about art, critical theory, and specificity (Joseph Kosuth, etc..)coupled with recent developments in contemporary aesthetics (Andrea Fraser, etc...)and education. Can ACM put these words into action? Yes and no. ACM is committed to the goals set forth in VAC-UP and ACM members will do what they can to institute VAC-UP concepts in their own professional lives. ACM is also actively pursuing the implementation of VAC-UP as a collaborative venture, and will work with institutions and organizations in just about any capacity willing to take VAC-UP or similar programs on. http://www.artofficial-online.com/vac-up __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(details of conference below this call). I am seeking abstracts for papers to be included on a panel on 'Critical Theory and Experimental Music'. Recent experimental music, especially in the electronic domain, has of late shown itself to be theoretically informed. Artists such as DJ Spooky can regularly be heard citing various texts from the Critical Theory canon, and the number of labels or various artists compilations themed around the works of Theorists and Philosophers is ever increasing (cf "In memoriam Gilles Deleuze", the label Mille plateaux and its offshoot Ritornell to name but a few). Papers are sought which investigate this intersection between experimental music and critical theory. Questions to be addressed might include but are not restricted to: - --How does theory inform music and what kind of music does this produce? Does such music differ substantially in its intentionality? - --How are the ideas of various philosophers and theorists translated into a musical vocabulary? - --Do works that attempt to express in music the musical ideas contained in the written texts of various philosophers convey the sense of the latter sense more faithfully than the original? - --To what extent does theoretically-informed music inform or transform theory? - --How do we read music theoretically? Submissions should also take into account the general theme of the conference (details below). Abstracts should be sent to: greg.hainge@adelaide.edu.au before May 30th 2001. Queries on THIS CALL ONLY should be addressed to this same address. A final decision on papers for this panel will be made soon after to leave any rejected papers the opportunity of resubmitting as an individual papers before the major conference call deadline. QUERIES ABOUT THE CONFERENCE itself (details below) should be addressed to Ian Buchnan (University of Tasmania) whose contact details follow the conference info. CALL FOR PAPERS. "What's Left of Theory?" University of Tasmania, Hobart December 8-10 2001 Keynote Speaker: Fredric Jameson Fredric Jameson once said, we can't really know what a thing is until it has become something else. It might therefore be said that theory's truth will only be available to us when it has ceased to be. Which prompts the question: is theory still alive and well, or has it indeed mutated into something else? If it has vanished did it leave a trace? Is it its successor stained with its legacy? But just as importantly, we can perhaps now, for the first time, determine what theory really is/was. Fredric Jameson also said that in his opinion, theory itself is a product of a leftist impulse in critical thinking. Thus despite all the criticism that has been heaped on theory's progenitor structuralism for its apolitical approach to analysis, it was in Jameson's view at least, born of Marxist modes of thinking. This gives our question above quite a different spin: is theory a leftist enterprise? Or perhaps we should ask, was it a leftist enterprise? And if it was, is its successor still leftist? Or has there been a swerve to the right in critical thinking to go along with the movement beyond theory? Papers are called for that address these questions in an interdisciplinary fashion. The Deadline for abstracts is July 20 2001. Please contact Ian Buchanan, School of English and European Languages and Literatures, The University of Tasmania.

As commercial exploitation began to dominate the Web, public attention never quite reached these islands of 3D experimentation - some of which are unremarkable and some of which are exquisite gems of low-bandwidth VR. These virtual art works fell into obscurity even their authors abandoned them for Web commerce and mainstream activities. The Summer 2001 CyberForum will conduct biweekly expeditions into these "lost worlds of the Internet." We will put on avatars and visit these worlds in real time as we chat with the author-artists who conceived them and with critics who are interested in the 3D Web.

Refugee Human Right Group (Jena) Flüchtlingsinitiative Brandenburg (Potsdam) Bündnis gegen Residenzpflicht (Berlin) Pressekontakt: ag.oeff@berlin.de "Movement is our right!" 17. bis 19. Mai auf dem Schlossplatz: Bundesweite Aktionstage gegen die Residenzpflicht Einladung zur Pressekonferenz am Dienstag, den 15.05.2001, 11.00 Uhr Ort: Haus der Demokratie und Menschenrechte, Greifswalder Str. 4, 10405 Berlin Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Unter dem Motto "Movement is our Right" fordern Flüchtlinge aus dem gesamten Bundesgebiet die Abschaffung der Residenzpflicht. Um dieses Menschenrecht öffentlich einzuklagen, finden vom 17. bis 19. Mai auf dem Schlossplatz in Berlin-Mitte die Aktionstage gegen die Residenzpflicht statt. Der Schossplatz wurde aufgrund der zentralen Lage gewählt, außerdem bietet er den Flüchtlingen die Möglichkeit ihren Protest sichtbar zu machen. Flüchtlingsunterkünfte sind in der Regel abgelegen oder mitten im Wald, so dass die BewohnerInnen gezwungen sind isoliert zu leben. Die Residenzpflicht verbietet Flüchtlingen den Landkreis, indem ihre Unterkunft liegt, ohne Erlaubnis zu verlassen. Dadurch wird ihnen das Menschenrecht auf Bewegungsfreiheit genommen. Auf diese Weise kann die Ausländerbehörde jeden Schritt der Flüchtlinge überwachen. Den Flüchtlingen wird jegliche Privatsphäre genommen. Von Donnerstag bis Samstag ist der Schlossplatz rund um die Uhr zentraler Veranstaltungsort. Am Donnerstag übergibt eine Flüchtlingsdelegation ein Memorandum zur Abschaffung der Residenzpflicht an den Bundestag. Im Anschluss daran findet zwischen 11.00 und 13.00 Uhr am Pariser Platz eine Kundgebung statt. Am Samstag beginnt um 12.OO Uhr am Alexanderplatz die bundesweite Demonstration gegen die Residenzpflicht. Auf dem Schlossplatz finden Podiumsdiskussionen und workshops statt. Am Donnerstag und Freitag Abend sind Filme und Konzerte geplant. Aus diesem Anlass laden wir Sie am Dienstag, den 15.05.2001, zu einer Pressekonferenz um 11.00 Uhr ins Haus der Demokratie und Menschenrechte, Greifswalder Str. 4, in Prenzlauer Berg ein. Wenn Sie an der Pressekonferenz teilnehmen möchten, bitten wir Sie herzlich uns per e-mail Bescheid zu geben (Pressekontakt: ag.oeff@berlin.de). Auf der Pressekonferenz am 15. Mai stehen Ihnen von den Veranstaltern Gaston Edua und Osaren Igbinoba, The Voice Africa Forum (Jena), sowie Betty Muriithi und Christopher Nsoh, Flüchtlingsinitiative Brandenburg (Potsdam) zur Verfügung. Juristische Fragen beantworten AnwältInnen des Republikanischen Anwaltsvereins und der Berliner Strafverteidigervereinigung.

The CDDC ( http://www.cddc.vt.edu ) has been in operation for over two years, and it publishes hypertext journals, hosts digital research archives, and cooperates with many international cyberculture organizations. You can find examples of our Research E-ditions at http://www.cddc.vt.edu/editions.html . As an entirely digital point-of-publication, the CDDC will review and then produce professional academic research works--either single-authored or edited collections--in a digital format. Proposals could take the form of an "e-book" that simply makes available a scholarly monograph in online format, or a collection of academic papers organized around a central theme, or a fully hypertextual experiment with new forms of digital discourse. Proposals could also be made for hosting or mirroring material that you have on your site or for community building or teaching resources like bibliographies or discussion systems for your specific community. Arrangements can be made for "print on demand" (POD) paper versions of these works, but the main focus of the CDDC is to explore the new communicative potentials of hypertext, hypermedia, and web-centered publication. The review processes will be as extensive and rigorous as those experienced in print academic communication, but it too will be conducted in a fully on-line format. All topics are potentially of interest in the Research E-ditions series, however, we are particularly interested in manuscripts, digital archives, and hypertexts from the humanities and social sciences relating to the areas of cyberculture, social theory, literary studies, digital art, and cultural studies. In addition, the CDDC is committed to Proposals from applied and natural sciences that relate directly to the fields of bioinformatics, energy and environmental studies, and information technology and communications. To propose a publication project, or to get more information, contact the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at cddc@vt.edu .
