SKA TV is now calling for submissions from video activists. Whether it's independent media collectives pulling together footage from 30 camcorders at a giant action against the World Bank, a protester filming her comrade destroy the control room of a military helicopter, or media satirists creating 'anti-ads' to send up the corporate media's banality and bias, Global Insights has showcased the best of activist video from around the world for the last four years. Since GLOBAL INSIGHTS 3, the world has seen an amazing explosion of new media activism - as well as the growing interest from mainstream television outlets in this kind of material. Is it an attempt to reinvigorate a sterile and artificial tv culture, or just because it's cheap to purchase? Just file it under 'reality tv'... Meanwhile GLOBAL INSIGHTS remains one of the few means of screening and distributing this kind of material. GLOBAL INSIGHTS has two arms - a compilation of short video activist works which is screened in Melbourne, and a videomagazine which is distributed through grass-roots networks, festivals and community broadcasters around the world. Global Insights 3 was seen in places as diverse as Seoul and Antarctica. Submissions should be complete edited pieces of less than 12 minutes duration, or able to be cut down to less than 12 minutes. The deadline is the end of September 2001. Contact us about video formats and other questions. We have a small budget to cover costs in getting your material to us. All contributors will receive a copy Global Insights 4. Global Insights (and in fact SKA TV) is a %100 volunteer production made by dedicated activists and media mischief makers. _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 05:49:14 +0000 From: "ph2o arte" <ph2oarte@hotmail.com> Subject: P H2O A R T E di Cuneo - Programma/programme 2001/2002 (ita/eng/fra) P H2O A R T E di Cuneo - Programma/programme 2001/2002 (ita/eng/fra) Presentazione programma degli eventi della P.H2O Arte.

The conference addresses everybody working on the interface of art, culture, new technologies and media sciences. The conference is to discuss the following questions: What does it mean to live, play and work in a world shaped and perceived through digital media, networks and architectures of real and virtual space? How can the development of complex communication spaces, life environments and economic models be designed as an interplay of technological, social and artistic forces? Unlike conventional concepts of virtual realities mixed reality architectures combine social and cultural action forms in the real space with processes in virtual environments. Network structures enable new forms of cooperation and support generation and detection of new information in media knowledge spaces. 400 artists and scientists submitted projects on new technologies and concepts for artistic productions. An international jury will select the most interesting projects. During the conference these projects will be presented in seven thematic blocks. Both new media art projects and innovative research projects of the EU program Information Society Technologies (IST) will be among these presentations. Famous scientists and artists from all over the world will present papers and lead through the presentation of the projects. These include Roy Ascott, Natalie Jeremijenko, Bill Buxton and Jill Scott. Two special events will enrich the conference program. >netzspannung.org<, the media lab on the Internet will go online. >digital sparks< will give awards to three outstanding German student projects in the fields of media art and design as well as media informatics. cast01 is organized by the MARS Exploratory Media Lab of the Fraunhofer Institute Media Communication (former GMD institute)*. The conference is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (bmb+f) and the European Commission.

On the occasion of the conference cast01/ Living in Mixed Realities taking place on the 21st September 2001 at Schloss Birlinghoven, Sankt Augustin (near Bonn), netzspannung.org will go online. The Internet platform for media staging, artistic production and inter-media research is being developed by the MARS Exploratory Medialab. Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss from the Fraunhofer Institute Media Communication are the leaders of the project which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The activities aim at establishing a competence center for media art and media technology whose information repository about todayís digital culture can be used by artists, curators, scientists, producers and enterprises. Knowledge discovery interfaces enable discovery and visualization of media works. The distributed system architecture, online workspaces and tools that are extensible on open source basis such as the mixed reality stage (eMuse) or interactive Internet television (i2TV) support digital production and experiments in networked media spaces. The first knowledge pools available on the platform are the netzspannung.org/journal, the conference cast01/ Living in Mixed Realities and digital sparks, a cartography of student media projects at German-speaking universities. A parallel activity interconnects various archives to create a collaborative knowledge space. Though targeted to experts, netzpsnanung.org also allows the participation of the interested public in the design and exploration of complex communication spaces within artistic, social and technological projects.

Tokyo, With the sound like modem and virtual data communication, her real half-naked body moved around the stage. The body was lighted up in several ways. Mika Kurosawa,konwn as a comtemporary dancer, danced with half-naked-fashion. Her stage reminds me of the stages of Duncan and Graham. In spite of erotic performance, the impression was fresh and neat. At the beginning of 20th century,"naked body" appeared in art movements in the past,for example, german expressionism,Bauhaus, Dada,etc. In Tokyo, postmodern style and one of biggest cities in Asia, now is the age of decadance. At the beginning of new century, there are still some hope. By the fall of Japanese economy and politics, Tokyo is in the state of chaos. Her body and dance can show erotic chaos with ray of light. Today's stage symolized "Tokyo" these days.

(http://www.whitney.org/artport) Will this constitute some type of failure? Will restlessculture still betray itself? A:Maybe it will be a testament to faith in the gallery system as the continued brokers of choice for art and taste. Maybe it will just result in the lack of pocket change for me thus confirming that restlessculture is still a little shy of being handed over to pure profitability. Thus far I think it is interesting to consider these ebay.com auctions as sacrificial rituals that "purify" restlessculture and insure its continued vitality and movement, i.e. life outside immediate and easy commodification. Q:How do you expect to change anything using images like the following? http://www.whitney.org/artport/artists/peppermint/images/cn0_img2.gif A:My work functions as a "web" or text of many divergent threads and links. To isolate and attempt a reading of a singular component of my work outside the hyper-weave of context (made possible by the net itself) is the only real method one could employ toward completely mis-understanding my work. I do not work with the intention of changing anything. My work is creative-play. I do not expect any stark, obvious, or otherwise "revolutionary" exchange for this work. I am a radical, a cultural transgressive, an artist simply because I commit my life toward the gesture of imagining anything other than what is prescribed for us through popular western ideology. My work is to keep imagination alive through any network into which I may gain access, e.g. streets, galleries, institutions, internet, video, etc. Any platform for dissemination of art/information. Q:I thought you were a feminist... what is with all these fragmented bodies and heads rendered faceless by bright lights? A:This is not decision based on gender (the images in question are not even gender specific) but moreover a decision informed by 1st world class. All images of American artists, cultural transgressives and/or individuals and friends who dedicate their lives toward creative work under the auspices of this country must be rendered as "overexposed" for the duration of Conductor Number Zero. This is how I choose to represent the disregard and impossibility of the artist amidst the spectacle of accelerated capitalism. Q:Themes of overt, sexual sleaziness in your work do nothing for me. A:Components of my work can function as carriers for pleasure or agents of seduction or repulsion (depending on the viewers openess and sincerity toward themselves) but to read my work only as such and to assume it is there soley for one's guilty consumption is a great reduction and a less than rigorous reading. Q:Are you the anti-christ? A:No. That would be a simple game of which the binary structure is already too widely known and even today still oftentimes blindly accepted and employed. At this time in history I think the job of anti-christ would very boring and un-inspired work. Q:Are you doing all this for self-recognition? A:My work is motivated by self-recognition or re-cognizance, a returning to ones-self. I consider creative work to be a series of self-re-introductions and re-evaluations. A lifetime in update, (ftp://www.restlessculture.net/pub/LifetimeInUpdate4.0.mp3) re-vision; to see again. An artist cannot work outside the obvious shipwreck of religion and morality without constant assessment of position and situation. These self-surveys constitute the bases of ethics. Every moment of schizophrenia (decision) that arises in my working process are likewise moments of ethical consideration. - ---------- end of faq ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2001 07:52:40 +1000 From: "geert lovink" <geert@xs4all.nl> Subject: Electronic Cafe Cocktail Benefit 8/14/Santa Monica From: "Celia Pearce" <celia@cpandfriends.com> Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2001 6:29 AM Subject: Electronic Cafe Cocktail Benefit 8/14 Hi all: Next Tuesday 8/14, some friends are thorowing a special SIGGRAPH event to benefit Electronic Cafe International in Santa Monica from 6:30-8:30 (which should give you plenty of time to make it for the Courses Reception.) Kit and Sherrie will be showing some of their "greatest" hits and for those who have never been there, ECafe is a historical must for anyone working in telepresence, performance and online community stuff. They are sort of the Nostradamums of the Internet, having been doing all sorts of wacky telecollaboration stuff since the 70's, way before you could really "do" any of that stuff. Kit & Sherrie have done a lot for the electronic arts community for over two decades, so I think they have really earned and are deserving of our support. If you can't make it to the benefit, consider making a donation anyway or sponsoring someone who can't afford to come. Hope to see you all there, Celia For more info on ECI and its contributions, visit http://www.ecafe.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cocktails with Courtney & the Digital Commerce Lab present a benefit for The Electronic Café Archives Initiative August 14, 2001 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM The Electronic Café 1649 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA * Complimentary Bombay Sapphire Martinis * Gourmet tamales * Viewing stations with greatest hits from the ECI Archives * Come spend a lovely, elegant evening with fellow digerati, netizens & artists at the eclectic Electronic Café in the creative-juice-inspiring 18th Street Arts Complex Cuisine graciously sponsored by Cadalyst Magazine and Response Magazine Special thanks to Internet Wire Catering service by Select Events Kick off the SIGGRAPH conference right with a great networking experience for a good cause with good people and good food and drink!

Known for its role as a leading multicultural community conducting ground-breaking aesthetic research, ECI focuses on the exploration of real-time networked collaborative multimedia environments. Originally a project developed with MOCA for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Arts Festival, ECI's first hybrid computer and multimedia network linked five culturally diverse community restaurants together for seven weeks, and made history. After the festival, ECI went global, and grew into a network of over 40 affiliates worldwide. Countless other groundbreaking and historically significant projects using telecollaborative technologies have taken place at the Café over the past several decades. Now the ECI is immersed in the process of preserving its archives and earlier works from the last 25 years. The objective is to create the ECI Online Multimedia Archive and to make it freely accessible to the public, art students and scholars. This is a huge undertaking, involving thousands of hours of material, and media assets of every imaginable kind. The amazing legacy of the ECI must be preserved. This benefit is the kickoff event for the fundraising effort for this extraordinary project.
