Oktober, 19 h Eintritt: frei Vorträge und Diskussion mit Masaki Fujihata (Tokio, Medienkünstler), Paul Sermon (Manchester, Medienkünstler), Lawrence Wallen (Berlin, Architekt und Medienkünstler) Konzept und Moderation: Dr. Gerhard Blechinger, Vorsitzender des Medienforums München und Prorektor der Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Zürich Der Hang der Kunst zur totalitären Form im Gesamtkunstwerk und in der künstlerischen Avantgarde hat auch in der Medienkunst einen Namen gefunden: Immersion. Immersive Kunstwerke in der Medienkunst sind computergestützte Installationen, die den gesamten Wahrnehmungskreis des Betrachters ansprechen. Naive Vorstellungen von immersiver Comuterkunst waren nicht selten von LSD-generierten Abenteuern der siebiger Jahre inspiriert. Der Computer als Rationalismusmaschine sollte in der immersiven Totale den Blick befreien auf den Kern der Welt. Die Rede von der Wahrheit in der Kunst mündet stets in Verdinglichung der Kunst und in der Verabsolutierung des Künstlers als gottgleiches Schöpfer-Subjekt. Das gilt für André Bretons Kugelhagel auf das Publikum genauso wie für Stockhausens jüngste Ekphrasis auf den 11. September als “das größte Kunstwerk, das es überhaupt gibt für den gesamten Kosmos“. Wie muß Kunst Stellung beziehen zu diesem abendländischen Fundamentalismus? Das Medienforum fragt Protagonisten, die sich dem Thema wiederum mit abendländischen Kulturtechniken und gleichsam seitwärts nähern. Mit Ironie, cusanischem Experiment und dem Versuch von Bildung. Die Dekonstruktion von Immersion als Alternative zum totalitären Denken. Masaki Fujihata (Tokio, Medienkünstler) (http://on1.zkm.de/zkm/stories/storyReader$1563) Geb. 1954 in Tokyo, Japan. Er studierte von 1975 bis 1981 an der Tokyo University, Dept.of History of Art und galt bald durch seine Arbeiten Mandala 1983 (1983), Miroku-Maitreya (1984) und verschiedene Computeranimationen als einer der Pioniere japanischer Computerkunst. Anfang der 90er Jahre erweiterte Fujihata sein Oeuvre mit computerunterstützten Installationen und Skulpturen. Seine Ausstellung Removable Reality (1992) setzte in der Zusammenarbeit mit dem Architekten Kei'ichi Irie neue Akzente für raumbezogene Installationen. Fujihata war Teilnehmer der Siggraph 1983 und 1984, sowie der Ausstellung New Video Japan, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1986. Seine Installation Global Interior Project I (1995) wurde zuerst in der Ausstellung InterCommunication 1995 in Tokyo gezeigt und erhielt 1996 die Goldene Nica des Prix Ars Electronica, Linz. Seit 1990 hat Masaki Fujihata einen Lehrauftrag an der Keiô gijuku University, Tokyo, für Environmental Information. Paul Sermon (Manchester, Medienkünstler) (http://www.hgb-leipzig.de/~sermon/) geb. 1966 in Oxford, England. Studierte 1985 - 88 bei Professor Roy Ascott an der University of Wales.

BAUHAUS DESSAU SERVE CITY SYMPOSIUM living and working in the interactive city wohnen und arbeiten in der interaktiven dienstleistungsstadt 12 + 13 oktober 2001 Services were considered to be the future of urban development in the 20th century. Now interactive media rationalise the service sector. They change our habitual patterns of communication, of space and time. The spatial urban structure of the 20th century , the separation of working and living, of private and public is eroding. How is urban space transformed, when the work place becomes ubiquitous, when services like finances and retail business turn into e-commerce, when private households are digitalised, when the private house becomes the place for working and everybody can create his or her own public sphere? What will be the design of these collisions? These questions will be subject to discussion on an international symposium addressing design and architecture, planning cultural studies, communication theory and economy. The symposium marks the beginning of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation's annual program 2001/2002, Serve City. Die Dienstleistungsstadt war die Zukunft des 20. Jahrhunderts, nun werden die Dienstleistungen durch interaktive Medien rationalisiert. Gewohnte Kommunikationsformen ändern sich und mit ihnen die Vorstellungen von Raum und Zeit. Die räumliche Struktur der Stadt des 20. Jahrhunderts, die Trennung von Arbeiten und Wohnen, von privat und öffentlich lösen sich auf. Wie verändert sich der städtische Raum, wenn der Arbeitsplatz überall sein kann, wenn Dienstleistungen wie Handel und Banken über das Netz abgewickelt werden, wenn private Haushalte digitalisiert werden, wenn die Wohnung zum Arbeitsort wird und jeder seine private Öffentlichkeit herstellen kann? Wie sind solche Entwicklungen zu gestalten? Ein internationales Symposium mit Beiträgen aus Architektur und Design, den Kultur- und Kommunikationswissenschaften und Ökonomie wird diese Fragen debattieren. Das Symposium ist die Auftaktveranstaltung für das III. Bauhaus Kolleg und das Jahresprogramm 2001/2002 Serve City. Die interaktive Dienstleistungsstadt wird Thema des Bauhaus-Kollegs wie auch Gegenstand von Workshops und Entwürfen, von Konferenzen und Ausstellungen sein. serve city wohnen und arbeiten in der interaktiven dienstleistungsstadt serve city living and working in the interactive city programm program Freitag / Friday 12. 10. 2001 9. 30 - 11. 30 ServeCity Begrüssung und Einführung / Welcome and Introduction Omar Akbar, Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau Telekommunikation und städtischer Raum / Telecommunication and urban development Paul Drewe, Technical University Delft Virtualität und relationale Räume / Virtuality and spatial relations Martina Löw, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle 13. 00 - 18. 00 Wohnen und Arbeiten in der interaktiven Dienstleistungsstadt / Collisions of work and living, private and public Die Produktion des Raums der Flüsse - Unternehmenskulturen / Producing the space of flows: office culture James Slevin, University of Amsterdam Das Design des Raums der Flüssse / Designing the space of flows Sevil Peach, London Wohnen zwischen Veröffentlichung und Privatisierung / Living - renegotiating the private sphere Elisabeth Kremer, Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau Telematisierte Hausarbeit?

Gerritzen, G. Lovink, M. Bruisma; BIS Publishers/Gingko Press 2001) The CATALOGUE OF STRATEGIES documents a period of 10 years of graphic-, web- and TV-design by Mieke Gerritzen and her co-workers in the recently founded firm NL-Design. Gerritzen has coined a unique own style. Words and phrases here often are used as pictorial elements, whole pages and books are designed with text. Thus the text looses its function as a mere commentary, the accompaniment of a pictorial message, or a detached narration, it becomes itself an icon, a text image that transforms a content into a moment of action. These forms of design are inseparable from the practical contexts within which they developed. So the CATALOGUE OF STRATEGIES is also sort of a work book which focuses on the connection of contents, design and practical activities and shows how design takes an own specific role within campaigns, conferences and other activist contexts, yet creating an independent aesthetic dimension. URL of NL-Design: www.nl-design.nl. The Dutch presentation of the book took place in Amsterdam on September 22. Catalogue of Strategies will have a global distribution. Lectures, Talk, Images: Netzkultur 2.0 The downturn of the internet-economy and the disintegration of digital utopia - not long time ago having governed the minds - don't make net culture less relevant today, but lead to a fundamental change of alignment. Fantasies of our future virtual bodies and living environments have lost their logic the daily grind and the increasingly perceived problems of the real world. At the same time the net as a field of conflict is gaining ever higher importance. So "net-weariness" is not on the agenda, but instead an increased concern with the political, economic and cultural circumstances, net-internally as -externally. "Net-culture" and "net-criticism" are an important potential counterweight against tightening economic and political power structures. But it's important to stay pragmatic and not to end in isolated self-centred attitudes. Practically this means to use creative skills and to establish and defend autonomous areas, in which an independent and content-based reflection can articulate and gain momentum. Participants Prof. Manfred Fassler is a communication scientist and cultural anthropologist at Frankfurt University. He is also in charge of the research project "cyberpoiesis", focusing on the working contexts of net designers, artists and theorists and on "ambivalent" modes of net-based cultural production. He is also co-organiser of "Entwerfen" (Oct./Nov. 2001), a conference on contemporary knowledge production. Mieke Gerritzen is among the most influential and innovative graphic and web designers in the Netherlands and embeds her work in various interdisciplinary contexts. Recently she founded her own firm NL-Design. Also she is head of the design department of Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam and initiated the screen-design-competition "International Browserday", which after Amsterdam and New york is going to take place in Berlin this year for the fifth time. Petra Ilyes is a cultural anthropologist and currently working on a comprehensive investigation of the impact of the ICT-industry on peripheral societies. She will report on her recent field excursion to Silicon Valley 2001, along with a digital slide show. Sebastian Lütgert from Berlin since 1998 operates several net portals like " rolux.org" or "textz.com". At first sight they remind you of commercial websites, offering various functionalities, decorated with seductive banners etc. Actually however they contain tools and contents which in a useful ironic way work anti-commercially and support autonomous and subversive purposes. Geert Lovink, Dutch media theorist and net activist who currently lives in Australia will moderate the event. He is a member of Agentur Bilwet, and together with Pit Schultz he founded in 1995 "nettime", one of the most influential mailing lists on the "net discourse". He initiated a number of important conferences and net culture projects and has written extensively on media, political and cultural movements and "net criticism". For the last time he was in Frankfurt with "Tulipomania Dotcom", a conference on the "new economy" in Kunstverein. Niels Werber, literary and media theorist, focuses among others on the misrelation between HiTech utopias of the digital elite and the actual social transformations taking place around them. Recent texts also examine the technology discourse in the bourgeois feature pages or the relationship of "global terrorism" and "cyberwars" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 16:48:02 +0100 From: "Benedict Seymour" <ben@bseymour.freeserve.co.uk> Subject: ***ENDURING FREEDOM*** Please come along to this discussion, and send this invite on to anyone you think might be interested in coming.

And the "internet warriors" might be just one click away from a virtual revolution. So begins the story of THE HACKTIVISTS, a one-hour documentary which provides a cutting edge snapshot of cultural subversion at the dawn of the digital age. It explores the exponential growth in anti-capitalist activism around the world and the new nodes of protest available via computers and the internet. It¹s a movement that¹s leaderless, global, anarchic and chaotic...the internet come to life! And its coming soon to a website and a city near you. We meet the faces behind the groups behind the electronic protests designed to take capitalism offline. Theirs is a world where sit-ins have become "virtual" and where negative publicity after an "online attack" can send a company¹s shareprice plummeting or shatter the image of the target institution. We hear the killer story of the legendary TOYWAR of 1999, where a US$8 billion online toy corporation was crushed when tens of thousands of internet activists joined in a massive online "swarm" in order to cripple its website and stop it doing business. THE HACKTIVISTS gets inside secret organisations like ELECTRONIC DISTURBANCE THEATRE, ELECTROHIPPIES and FEDERATION OF RANDOM ACTION. Their members go by avatars such as RE:no and METAC0M...their "operations" have codenames like MAIL-O-MATIC or DIGITAL ZAPATISMO. We unmask the key players in the international world of internet activism. Can they save the world...or are they "cyber terrorists" intent on breaking the law...or maybe just naughty little geekboys intent on causing some digital mischief from the comfort of their own homes? The film plays out like a sly detective story. Across four continents, the four main characters are revealed as planning an online protest for A20, the next fixture in the ongoing "carnival against capitalism"Sthe Summit of the Americas meeting in Quebec City in April 2001. Prisons are being cleared and a second wall built around the old walled city as Canada prepares for it¹s biggest peacetime security operation. Canadian NART VILLENEUVE is taking a bus from Toronto to be the "eyes and ears" of the online protest. We see him retreating under teargas attack while chatting live with his fellow hacktivists via his laptop and cellphone. French codeslinger RENAUD COURVOISIER is offering up the latest version of his protest "drawing tool" which sends a message to the target website with every stroke of the mouse. PAUL MOBBS and his ELECTROHIPPIES are masterminding the whole operation from an old farmhouse in Wales which is without hot water. But the "cybersleuth" is on their trail. With the upsurge in web-based activism has come a promising new enterprise...internet intelligence agencies employed by big name companies to keep tabs on the hacktivists. BEN VENZKE is a man at the top of his profession. "Now you can sit halfway around the world and shut down a company¹s ability to operate on the other side of the world by clicking a couple of buttons." Proving his point are the Quebec police, who admit to shutting down their website during the Summit in fear of Electrohippy attack. "The fact that they were so easily intimidated by the potential of information attack is a real augury of the future," says US defence analyst JOHN ARQUILA. "Hacktivism works and it will work even better as time goes by."
