(Trier/Germany, Oct 11th to Oct 13th, 2001) miss.gunst@gmx.net Are you interested in Chinese IT markets and Beijing 2008 related ones? Andreas Broeckmann <abroeck@transmediale.de> i3 Village and Conference at Orbit/Comdex Europe Basel Sept. 25-28 "geert" <geert@desk.nl> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 00:03:21 +0200 From: olia lialina <olialia@teleportacia.org> Subject: make world in october make-world festival BORDER="0" LOCATION="YES" conference | exhibitions | performances | workshops 18 - 21 OCTOBER 2001 MUNICH http://make-world.org 0yes@make-world.org What's new? Even in times when everybody is shocked by the news, something new refers rather not to the unknown or the never seen before, but to the omnipresence of permanent change. What was beyond imagination up to recently, may, in the next moment come as no surprise. >From October 18th to the 21nd the make-world festival will take place in Munich, one of the fastest growing High-Tech and New Media clusters in the world. Make-world is a first of it's kind project dealing with such different subjects as migration and freedom of circulation, open source and immaterial labor, tactical media and art in networking environments. Against the backdrop of global politics undergoing radical changes, scientists, theorists, artists and activists are invited to participate in presentations, constructive conversations, reflection and debates. Under the title BORDER="0" LOCATION="YES" the festival aims to track new forms of subjectivity carried out by current modifications of the world; which until recently were characterized as "infotization", "digitization" and "globalization". The more these buzzwords loose their glamour, the more important it is to discuss the role borders play, and question what restricted and unrestricted locality, mobility and freedom of movement may mean. Global processes are running out of time and space. Facing the end of the end, everything - what might happen or has to be done - starts from scratch. And this new beginning embraces much more than ever before. It's time to scroll: to look ahead and behind, to step to the side, to think fast forward. PROGRAM The conference part consists of lectures and debates with numerous renowned speakers from all over the world. In the aftermath of the attacks of New York City and Washington D.C., the new german migration debate has been delayed and the reminiscence of the anti-globalization protests seem to fade out. Nevertheless the conference program is going to question the real potential of what was formerly known as globalization, as far as it affects the life of human beings. In the raise of a new global sovereignty, in the decline of a New Economy and on the eve of the privatization and proprietarization of the internet, the conferences aims to analyze the virtualization of borders and the re-vitalization of public and free accessible spheres. The exhibition deals with a strange attraction: "The Artist as an Expert" will take a side view and process profiles of artists. It will collect some of the artists data and expose self-profiles sequencing the biographical, aesthetical, imaginary layers of subjectivity. Participating artists are: Yevgeniy Yufit (expert in forensic medicine, St. Petersburg), Marko Peljhan (expert in communication technology and earth/space environment applications, Ljubljana), Entropy8Zuper (experts in the future of art and entertainment, Gent), Jennifer Reeder (expert in White Trash, Chicago), Herbert W. Franke (expert in computer art, cybernetic aesthetics, visualization of science, futurology, speleology, Munich). SCHEDULE The exhibition will be connected to the public interface "Everyone is an Expert", which will be set up in it's first version by Shu Lea Cheang (New York): It consists of a four-day running installation including databases, open entry forms, free terminals, help desks and lounges. BORDER="0" LOCATION="YES" will open on Thursday night, in the Muffathalle, with lectures by Saskia Sassen, Ghassan Hage and a performance by the "Publix Theatre Caravan". On Friday, the conference starts with debates along different tracks. Topics include: "Labor Without Borders", "Open Source and Free Floating" and "Under Global Construction". In the evening Roman Leibov will give a lecture, followed by the vernissage of the exhibition "The Artist as an Expert" and the public interface installation "Everyone is an Expert". Later that night Guillermo Gomez-Pena will perform. Saturday is a conference day, with debates and workshops. The evening program includes a talk by Kodwo Eshun, a concert with Daddy G (Massive Attack) and Console in the concert hall, a Micromusic clubnight in the exhibition space and an Expert-Lounge around the public interface installation "Everyone is an expert". On Sunday, Lev Manovich will speak on "The Language of New Media". As well, "Virtualienmarkt", a one-day project fair where artists, activists and others present their projects, takes place in the big hall. The event will close with a debate with Yann Moulier Boutang and Antonio Negri (connected by a video-conference).

(Trier/Germany, Oct 11th to Oct 13th, 2001) International Conference Beyond Dichotomies? Transgressive Identities and Topographies of Intercultural Spaces organized by Graduiertenkolleg "Interkulturelle Kommunikation in kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive" University of Saarbrücken, Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink (Intercultural Communication in the Perspective of Cultural Studies) and Graduiertenkolleg "Identität und Differenz. Geschlechterkonstruktion und Interkulturalität (18. bis 20. Jahrhundert)" University of Trier, Prof. Dr. Viktoria Schmidt-Linsenhoff (Identity and Difference. Gender and Interculturality, 18th - 20th centuries) October, 11th to 13th, 2001 - Trier (Germany) Intercultural and gender studies have for a long time criticized the power structure created by constructions of cultural and sexual difference. But this critique often reproduced the patterns of thoughts which it reflected if not even strengthened - like the pattern of basic dichotomies as own / other, colonizer / colonized, victim / offender, Orient / Occident, male / female etc. The conference aims at questioning these bipolar dichotomies. During the last years the focus of attention has shifted to hitherto overlooked phenomena of mixture and intercultural spaces, of transgressions and of transculturality. In the course of this development the already dubious notions of stable identities, of homogeneity and the coherence of cultures and gender have once more been refuted. Whereas up to now the rehabilitation and recognition of the colonized "other" was central, it is now time to develop as a figure of thought conceptual alternatives to the allegedly universal dichotomies. The conference will discuss case studies and approaches developped in cultural studies and social sciences working with the concepts of hybridity and heterotopia, nomadism and intermediality, circulation and translation, "third space" and "third gender"; the conference will try to clarify these often vague concepts. This tendency is exemplified by the development of the study of Orientalism during the last twenty years. Whereas Edward Said in 1978 defined the Orient as a one-dimensional projection and invention of the Occident being part of a static pattern, other researches in different disciplines have worked out a whole number of "orientalisms", whose dynamical forces influence the field of interculturality pointing out the agency and the voice of the "others". The conference is divided into three sections: the first section will present theoretical approaches "Beyond Dichotomies" from the point of view of postcolonial- and gender studies. In the second section concepts of space will be discussed under the key word of "Topographies of Intercultural Spaces". In the third section conceptions of "Transgressive Identities" will be up to discussion.

Years ago, car manufacturers introduced a voice system that said, "fasten your seat belts" when needed. The drivers and their passengers hated it. On the other hand, we are all charmed by gadgets: from the tamagoshi to the walkman, from games to kitchen utensils. Technology is enchanting us. The conference questions how we, as humans accept technology and react to it rather than what new gadgets can be put together. Even more, how can we design technology that people accept rather than hate? This tension is at the centre of i3's preoccupations. i3 organises this conference within the E-Business congress of Messe Basel to explore these issues. The speakers will present experiences and insights in this situation, based on their wide-ranging and interdisciplinary experiences. The conference will begin to answer the following questions: . Who leads: the technology or humans? . How do we live with technology? Why is GSM widely accepted and the electronic book much less? . How do we decide which technology to deploy? Are market forces the only forces to reckon on? . How do we build our future? To begin the conference two world-renowned researchers present their view on the subject. After which a panel will discuss these points and will provide glimpses of the wider i3 experience: making, playing, thinking, applying and using. Presenations: Prof.Richard Noss (Chair) London Uni.

It's a people thing So many technology developers miss a central concept about the use of their designs? People develop new capabilities in reaction to the tools and environment they find themselves in and it is thus people who shape their use of the technology and who subvert it for their own needs. Of course, many past technologies have distorted our behaviours and clouded our expectations, but when they have trapped us in their own limitations they have either been rejected or their use has needed reinventing by people.When technologies have enhanced our capacity to create our own content or produce our way out of technological straitjackets, then they have proved to be highly successful. This is why, with newly emerging technologies, content isn't king, but communities might be sovereign. This isn't about delivery technology, if content was important then we would only build libraries, not schools. People are reaching out to be engaged, involved and to participate. They are reclaiming their entitlement to narrative control. These matters are crucial for the future of telecommunications, broadcasting, learning and the economic potential emerging technologies and are explored in this presentation. ------------------------------ # 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
