Grace Lands guest Federico Baronello Candy factory pleased to announce that we're becoming an institution for mentally handicapped people for you at Yokohama triennial inviting with new guest collaborator Federico Baronello from this weekend. If you are one of them, we welcome you. maybe you would like to see how they looks like in Italy even just facing with projection. You can imagine how can we live in a beautiful institution in Sicily. We are reporting couple of grace lands from there for this tourism art festival . And we also have good Italian design furniture images for you. " as personal failures can be reflected when Swedish chair chrome furniture do not shine anymore attacked by the passing time, revolutionary design body for Italians innovative radio and TV set do not work anymore as transistors had been substituted by microchips, and ABS colorful plastic materials are preferred by a warm touch of new-age exotic woods. utopian everyday practice of 60/70s designed is dead ready to relive as a zombie for emancipated social approach theories in sanatorium ruled by doctors filled by never last hopeful avant-garde theories while our bodies attacked by cancers can enjoy the last sip of well chilled France champagne served by gentle nursery employers."............Federico Baronello Like he says even these are now bit rotten same like some rust-eaten minimal art or cracked piece of conceptual art in some museum , but so would be nice you will have stereotyped aura effect for your brand new meditation. Anyway of course no such differences between art festival and sanitarium organized by almost same function. So just let's check which is better. Or just are you believing you are the doctor? or kind of social worker just like curators or artists nowadays ? Are you sure? If so send your message to comfort spectators, we will serve it under our gallows pavilion. http://www.trans.artnet.or.jp/~transart/ Re:move/ *candy factory @ Yokohama Triennial Takuji Kogo takujikogo@mac.com ga2750@i.bekkoame.ne.jp _______________________________________________ *candy factory http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/i/ga2750/ http://www.trans.artnet.or.jp/~transart/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 14:53:46 -0400 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Natalie_Melan=E7on?= <nmelancon@fcmm.com> Subject: FCMM - PERFORMANCE PROGRAM PERFORMANCE PROGRAM MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF NEW CINEMA AND NEW MEDIA (FCMM) OCTOBER 11-21, 2001 / www.fcmm.com As a film festival, the FCMM has been at the forefront of the revolution in motion pictures and sound for some thirty years.

The impact on society of the technologies of "digitisation" has transcended the limits of any single discipline. It is universal and ubiquitous, affecting everything. But how does this digitisation affect our basic concepts about society - such as value, community, law, space? This conference will bring together the world's leading thinkers and doers in various fields - from anthropology to law, economics to information technology - to ask: What, if anything, is new about the way we redefine our understanding of these concepts? Topics covered include: - ---------------------- - - notions of value, non-monetary economic activity, - - measurement without prices, free software - - the meaning of money, electronic currencies - - communities, social networks - - reputation, trust and identity - - formal and informal law, dissappearing borders and Internet jurisdiction - - space and navigation - - political space, government, new media and freedom - - geographical space, access, impact and inequality Format and speakers - ------------------- This conference is uniquely designed to contrast opinions from different disciplines in sessions linked by common themes: Value, Community, Space. A special Crosstalk session each day brings together participants from the different themes in debate, to elicit a broader understanding of the issues that face us. The conference emerges from First Monday's reputation as a source of quality ideas and research on digitisation and society. Beginning with keynote presentations from two of First Monday's well-known editorial board members: Esther Dyson and Anthony Rutkowski, this conference draws on First Monday's long list of authors, some of the foremost thinkers in their fields. Confirmed speakers include Wilfred Dolfsma, International Institute of Infonomics Paul Duguid, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center Kasper Edwards, Technical University Denmark Andreas Harsono, Institute for Studies of Freeflow of Information, Jakarta Leo van Hove, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Bernardo Huberman, Hewlett-Packard Sand Hill Labs Bernt Hugenholtz, Institute for Information Law, Amsterdam University Christopher Kelty, Rice University, Houston Bonnie Nardi, Agilent Technologies Inc Bruce Perens, Open Source evangelist, Hewlett-Packard, David Post, Temple University School of Law Howard Rheingold, author, "The Virtual Community" Richard Rogers, University of Amsterdam Richard Wiggins, Michigan State University Who should attend - ----------------- This conference will offer insights into issues that are critical to economic, social and technological development in Europe as well as worldwide. It will appeal to everyone concerned with the emerging understanding of digitization and its impact on society, policy and business. We expect as participants academics, corporate officers, government policy makers, thinkers and activists from around the world. Registration - ------------ Online registration and hotel reservation forms, as well as the conference programme are available at http://www.infonomics.nl/newdefinitions/ The conference is jointly organised by First Monday - the peer reviewed journal of the Internet (www.firstmonday.org) and the International Institute of Infonomics (www.infonomics.nl).

Miller" <anansi1@earthlink.net> Subject: Saul Williams and Paul D. Miller at The Atlantic Center for the Arts Hey folks, I hope this letter finds youwell. I'm now in Florida (if anyone is in the vicinity, feel free to give a shout out to any of the events we've got going...). I'm doing a "Master Artist" residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts with Saul Williams, and Carrie Mae Weems. Basically we choose six six students each - "associate artists" - and just flow creatively for three weeks in a beautiful area of Florida called New Smyrna Beach about an hour out of Orlanda (yep, near the Kennedy Space Center, and Universal Film Studios, but far far far more chilled out than those spots - we're right off the ocean...). So it's a mellow cool out situation with art being made. Me and Saul are going to post some of our thoughts on contemporary culture to the afrofuturist list once a day, and if I can get Carrie to get more digital, her and her students might post a little bit as well. Me and Saul might post some poems with beats/tracks as Mp3 files for the list as well. Other future participants will include Janine Antoni (the oh so very young recipient of the MacArthur "genius award" a little while ago), and Ishmael Reed. and for an article describing our endeavors, check the Orlando Weekly: http://www.orlandoweekly.com/music/feature/index.asp?f=315 and for more info check the website: http://www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org and a schedule of our events: http://www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org/comm_prog/calendar/cal_fs.htm ....we're doing a special screening of Slam (a movie that I did the score for...) slightly remixed... and of course, me and Saul have our respective new albums coming out... his, entitled "Amythest Rockstar" (produced by Rick Rubin) and mine "Under the Influence" (featuring tracks by Moby, Future Sound of London, Talvin Singh, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Sonic Youth, Anti-Pop Consortium, Beth Coleman a.k.a. Dj Singe and MC Verb of NYC's multi-media party, Soundlab... and many others) will be out by the end of the month. We're having a big record release party in NYC in a little while... If you're into arts and digital media residencies, let me know... I do this alot. Here's the blurb: Apply to work with world-renowned master artists. If selected, you receive housing, weekday meals, and award-winning studio space in New Smyrna Beach, Florida and for an article describing our endeavors, check the Orlando Weekly: http://www.orlandoweekly.com/music/feature/index.asp?f=315 ============================================================================ Port:status>OPEN wildstyle access: www.djspooky.com Paul D.

Person of the Month for SEPT 2001 : Scott Sonna Snibbe. His piece at www.biennale.net is minimal and deep. A duck in a bottle. How do you take the duck out without destroying the bottle ? You cannot and even worse, when you try, you"ll destroy the duck first. Philosophical and plain. Totally realistic and the same time abstract. High level. It also delivers a sinister message under the circumstances...

(Entrance Zimmerstr.) 10117 Berlin-Mitte White Collar presents an array of aesthetic positions touching on aspects of the white collar state of mind, with artists drawing on elements of its interior and exterior environments and design, social rituals, economic preoccupations and operational systems as they examine and subvert the visual and formal languages of urban professionals by misapplying, inverting, falsely representing, forensically capturing, inventing and extrapolating from the detritus of the white collar world. Coining the term 'white collar' in the early 1950s, the American sociologist C. Wright Mills provided a trope for an emerging 20th century middle class keeping its hands clean as it toiled behind desks in the banal working environments of the industrialised world. In their bid for gradual ascension up the corporate ladder, the white collar workforce constituted a rank, a milieux, a kind of social orbit - but the socio-economic fruits of conforming to the daily routines and regulated climates of the office brought with them a disaffected and precarious psychological life. Half a century later the white collar world is out of orbit - the faceless goals of multinationalism, the collapse of the new economy, the euphemistic ambience of the pink slip party and the persistent uncertainties of globalisation conflate to leave today's cell-phone-toting generation pondering the feasibility of a sure footing on the slippery slopes of the white collar pyramid. The exhibition foregrounds the ambivalence of contemporary artists as they respond to the contemporary corporate values, systems, hierarchies and aesthetics by which they are surrounded.
