Hovagimyan" <gh@popstar.com> Subject: Palm Rants (re)distribution Palm Rants - an extended performance for web & Palm OS by G.H. Hovagimyan Palm Rants is a series of performance/ rants I will create over the course of the (re)distribution exhibition curated by Patrick Lichty. The information will be delivered in 3 forms; 1. a short movie or audio file that may be downloaded onto a PDA and viewed with TealMovie software. 2. a clickable image animation downloadable via an AvantGo custom channel 3. a text of the rant downlodable via an AvantGo custom channel. The intention of this piece is to extend the idea of performance art into the hand held format. Accessors will receive a new performance every week for 16 weeks. The content of these performances will be meditations on information dispersal and the post media environment. I will approach this as both an exercise and a challenge. The piece will be an extended performance over a sixteen week period. The challenge is to stay fresh, to become both an information nomad and an information filter. The subject of the performances will be the work of art in a networked environment. The subject of this piece will be the artist in a networked world. Here’s a list of possible and realized rants. EntertainMe - Entertain Me (first presented at the Warhol Hijack) Who Pays ? Who’s Paying for This? Big Cars Are Not Cool Anymore. Who Turned Off The Lights and Air Conditioning! (California energy lament) My Food is Poisened. Foreplay. Love Songs From My Computer. (synth voices put you in the mood) Dot Com Today, Dot Gone Tommorow. You Have Been Replaced by a Machine. The First Ones On Me. The Second Ones On You. Ever Feel That You Are Fooling Yourself. What Will It Take? The First Blackout. Big Medicine Killed My Father. Video Art Is Not The Next Big Thing. DUH Buy and Sell and Buy and Sell and .... And You Thought You Were Famous. Several Ways to Brush Off Telemarketers. The End Of America. We live in an information environment in America. The question is twofold; how truthful is the information we are given and whose point of view does it represent? Do you really want to be told how to think? This is big brother corporate style wrapped in an entertainment package. The next level is the rebellion against all forms of information. It goes beyond deconstruction. It sweetens the idea of total disbelief. Believe what you see. Believe in yourself or better yet make it all up. How to access the piece: There are two ways to access the work. A. If you have a Palm Pilot you can set up an avantGo account <http://www.avantgo.com> Where it says create channels you add the url's for each new piece as they are announced.

(and we hope that these lines are comprehensible also for english speaking people ;) the mailinglist has a web-frontend at https://mailman.drno.de/mailman/listinfo/action. there you can handle your account, unsubsribe and view an html-archive of all past mails. if you are not familiar with mailing lists or if you have any technical questions, please contact technik@aktuelle-kamera.org // the next steps at the moment, we, aktuelle kamera, are waiting for an acknowledgement from some german groups we invited to join this action day . the next few days we will put some informations on our website concerning this action, as the scp's new york and souriez vous etes filmes, paris already did this (see below). all actions, which will be viewable by public webcams, should -- at its best -- happen at the same period, so people all over can watch the actions by internet. we think which period would be suitable for this project. first we proposed 19.00 -- 20.00 GMT. but this ignored two facts: daylight saving time and the need of daylight for some actions (e.g. at 20:00, there would be no more daylight at our time zone). therefore we propose 17.00 -- 18.00 GMT, in order to have a period which could be suitable for all time zones. 17:00 - 18:00 GMT is = 10 - 11 a.m. west-coast, usa = 12 - 1 p.m colombia = 1 - 2 p.m. new york/usa = 19.00 -- 20.00 europe/berlin (GMT +1 + DST) (sunset about 19:00, daylight until 20:00 in central europe) = 20.00 -- 21.00 istanbul (GMT+2 + DST) is this timerange acceptable for everybody? we think it should be a main point of this action day, that we have an equal communcation (therefore this list) and no centralized structures. (e.g. a main website: feel free to do your own information page, etc.) we have done some suggestions to shape this action-day. we would like to know whether these ideas find your consent, or if you have any comments, variations or alternatives. the next time, we should start to think about public relations and announcements and how to distribute our ideas and intensions for doing the 7s01-actions. it would be good, to have a basic info in different languages, that we can distribute to independant and mainstream media.

If you happen to be in Japan during the period please make a visit. This is the largest exhibition of interactive art in Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara) area that has ever taken place. FUSHIGI Jungle is a part of 21Seiki Mirai Taiken-haku (21th Century Experiencing Future Expositon), which is a part of the Kobe 2001 Festival. The goal of the whole exposition is in presenting latest technologies and visualizing future. The exposition takes place in a 3000m2 hall, and has been attracting 1500 to 4000 visitors a day since it opened. FUSHIGI Jungle is a 100% interactive exhibition focused on art and meant for general public. The aim of the show is in inviting visitors to experience and feel the wonder of digital interactive communication beyond the border of art and technology. Sixteen interactive art pieces and projects from artists, research laboratories and companies are exhibited on 500m2 floor space. Some works such as Kazuhiko Hachiya's piece are site-specific, integrating images or texts from children that are entered to a joint competition. (http://www.mirai-kobe.com/mouma/index.html) Artists, engineers and researchers also contributed texts and messages for children, which are shown on the site on transparent balloons. Since the exposition had opened, FUSHIGI Jungle has become the most popular part of the whole show attracting families, children and senior citizens as well as those who are interested in art and technology. Although it is a great challenge for both artists and organizers to run such a show for a long term with so many visitors, we hope the exhibition will prove the importance and possibility of bridging art and technology, and make them accessible to general public. The exhibition is curated by Machiko Kusahara, produced by Noboru Tsubaki,coordinated by Atsuko Kobayashi, with number of students from universities and art institutions in Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto, who collaborated in organizing and operating the whole program. It is an experimental project as well, to establish a new model in organizing a large scale media art exhibition.

They learned to use language, count numbers, and build houses; they also made many kinds of tools. In a while, human beings made computers which could perform difficult calculations at once, and they made new games such as video games, using computers. Yet, human beings still live with nature: the sky, the forests,and the sea. Nature is full of wonder, and the computer is full of wonder. Discover more exciting wonders to create a wonderful future, using your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, and body. - -------------------------------------------- Authors, Titles and Descriptions of Projects Exhibited - -------------------------------------------- Toshio Iwai "Composition on the Table" On the table you see many buttons with arrows.

Acting Chief Executive of the NCA Mr Lindsay Evans with the standover tactics of the AFP, without any written or verbal notice, moved onto the site of a sacred ceremony between the now under construction Commonwealth Place and the existing Aboriginal Tent Embassy and impounded the ceremonial objects, destroyed Humpies, extinguished the three ceremonial fires with chemical extinguishers and impounded the keepers of the ceremonial fires' camps including tents and swags, food, cooking gear and personal effects. The violation of this sacred peace ceremony is the greatest sacrilege under Aboriginal Law. Uncle Kevin Buzzacott, keeper of the ceremonial peace fires at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy questioned "who or what gives these people the authority to desecrate our sacred ceremonies? We (at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy) are yet to obtain any written notification. They (the NCA and the AFP) do not have any jurisdiction or authority or law to desecrate our sacred peace ceremonies". The cultural insensitivity and inappropriateness of the AFP and NCA illustrates the gross chasm between the action of the government agencies and the feel good reconciliation rhetoric flounced around by all levels of government. These actions of the National Capital Authority and the Australian Federal Police are, under the banner celebrating federation and reconciliation are perpetuating cultural genocide. "We ask the question 'Is there any justice for indigenous peoples', the original peoples of this land. If they are able to do this to our sacred ceremonies the Aboriginal Tent Embassy does not stand a chance against these corrupt people" - Uncle Kevin Buzzacott. CALLING FOR JUSTICE Tuesday the 31st July 2001 at 10.00am Aboriginal People and their supporters will march from the Aboriginal Tent Embassy to Parliament House in Canberra to demand justice. We call on all people to attend to show their support.

We go swimming, have excited times, visit interesting corners of the world. For this period let us leave a (post) box at the gallery and make a pledge to deliver the things we come across or create and consider interesting for others personally, or by friends, by traditional, or electronic mail. Let us be conscious that the thing we want to put into the artistic box, into which the Piwnice BWA (BWA Cellars) will turn for the time being, is going to travel, cross any borders; it might be variously prepared for its mission. After arriving in the site, it will become part of our collection. Out of this collection we are going to extract and create the show which will be changing and, considering its open character, probably follow various paths. We are initiating the box with several works which make references to our group stay in Broumov, the Czech Republic. In its old brewery groups of Czech, Polish and German artists took part in the Criss/Cross exhibition. Our participation in the project was of a little different character than other two groups. We did not fetch any ready works. We brought our ideas hoping that the site would help us to specify a form of expression. Imagine a small town. At midday for one hour all shops are closed, and loud speakers placed in the town centre play old songs. Against such a setting in a corner of a small market square, at the table there is sitting a Norwegian called Jesper. Next to him, there is a notice board. It says that Jesper wants to get married and, what is more, on the day of the Criss/Cross exhibition opening. Well, he has not been successful but we have got the photo of him leaving the shop with an ice cream on a wooden stick. And we are thinking of putting this portrait into our exhibition-casket. We invite you to join our project. Surprise yourself, surprise us with your choice. Our (& your) address: Piwnice BWA, ul. Wita Stwosza 32, 50-149 Wroc³aw Poland, and remember to subscribe ART.BOX or maot@wp.pl (works sent by @ mail are to be printed in A4 format) ART BOX artists and initiators: Piotr Czurczak, Miros³aw Kulla, Marcin Mierzicki, Marek Otwinowski, Waldemar Pranckiewicz. The exhibition is open till the end of holidays. The Piwnice BWA Gallery, 32 Wita Stwosza Street, Tue.-Th. 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Fri. 12 a.m. - 8 p.m.; Sat. - Sun. 12 a.m. - 6 p.m. The Piwnice BWA Gallery is part of the biggest gallery in the town of Wroc³aw. This space is usually made accessible to young artists. Wroc³aw - a thousand-year old town lying on the River Odra in south-western Poland, a country in Europe. The artists: Czurczak, Kulla, Mierzicki, Otwinowski, Pranckiewicz - young people who like Czech bear, good fun and art. The latest news: The Piwnice BWA Gallery has uncovered its mystery: a chakra. The issue is to be researched by the committee including representatives of different art scenes. Here is the announcement on the chakra of one of its discoverers: Such a site is a potential, it can mix it for people, I mean, either help or make sick. I am for protecting the chakra before politicians and the army. Chakras - in Sanskrit cakra means a wheel - are energetic centres. They intervene to draw down, transform and distribute universal (divine, cosmic) energies in a psychophysical body of each man. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2001 09:16:45 +1000 (EST) From: francesca da rimini <gashgirl@systemx.autonomous.org> Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?CONEXI=D3N_REMOTA=3A_net=2Eart_=40_Macba_-_Bar?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?celona_?= CONEXIÓN REMOTA: net.art @ Macba - Barcelona CONEXIÓN REMOTA is a selection of net.art projects, curated by Roberta Bosco and Stefano Caldana, as an online project of ³ANTAGONISMOS.

Voluntarily or not, women are displaced in great numbers from Manila to Nigeria, from Burma to Thailand, from Bulgaria to Europe: female bodies in the flow of global capitalism. Spiralling down from an orbital view captured by image satellites, the video-essay takes an earthly perspective on cross-border circuits, trafficking routes and illicit economies. The highly digital documents generated for this video connect new geographic technologies to the sexualization and displacement of women on a global scale. Using the latest images from NASA satellites, the video investigates the consequences of the U.S. military presence in South East Asia as well as the European migration politics. Remote Sensing visualises the multi-layered meaning of geography where the sexualization of women in global capitalism is linked to the implementation of new technologies in often contradicting ways. While the Internet facilitates the migration flow, particularly for women via bride market, the border reinforcement technologies, on the other hand, hinder and push it into the illegal sector. The European visa politics are quite explicit in their practice to channel migrant women directly into the sex industry. The assemblage of documents reveal how technologies of marginalization affect women, and particularly economically disadvantaged women, in their sexuality and how powerful players like States, scientific complexes and military institutions, install a sexuality that eroticizes hierarchies. Female bodies are the new cargo in the highly lucrative transactions across boundaries. Of course there are numerous structural and political reasons that lead women to move, or to being moved, into the gigantic Fordism of service of the global sex industry. But there is no simple moral distinction to be made between trafficked women and those who choose this venue of survival. The video explores the large grey zone of negotiation women engage in and the different concepts of prostitution they adhere to. Remote Sensing aspires to displacing and re-signifying the feminine within sexual difference and cultural representation, where sexuality is often presented within the narrow confines of a masculine symbolic. Satellite visions of globality are producing a sexual economy in which it has become thinkable to reorganise women geographically on a global sca.e The use of imagery generated by geographic information systems (GIS) opens a fundamental critique of Western thinking. Satellite images propose an abstract and highly accurate view of the world from the top down. The evaluation and interpretation of the millions of geospacial data collected by the satellites currently in the orbit are based on binary computer languages. Through this lens, the world may seem graspable, controllable and easy to categorise. Yet capitalism creates social as well as material landscapes which are only comprehensible in their complex interrelation. Remote Sensing fills in missing geographic data which offer a gendered and relational view on the global flows of humans. Ursula Biemann is an artist and videomaker focusing on gender and globalisation issues in economy, media and the urban space.
