INFOPOOL @ THE CLINIC
53a Old Bethnal Green Road London E2 6QA
07968726480

DECEMBER 7th - DECEMBER 9th 2001RECEPTION FRIDAY
7th DECEMBER (6.00 -  9.00)

WEBSITE / PAMPHLET / REFERENCE ROOM



Picking-up from the earlier  archeology of Stewart
Home and Fabian Tompsett, the Infopool project
re-emerges  in London at Clinic to present the
ongoing outcome of its research-drift into
Scandinavian Situationism. With the Debord
industry burgeoning to the detriment  of a wider
appreciation of all facets of a situationistic
movement - its  exclusion zones, its offer of a
non-compliant cultural politics - Infopool have
assembled a website of translated texts drawn from
the much underestimated  Bauhaus Situationniste
and offset these with a selection from
Internationale  Situationniste. To accompany this
web-anthology an introduction - Divided We  Stand
- - will be issued as Infopool No.4. This texcursion
provides an outline of  the activities of the
Bauhaus Situationniste from 1962 to 1974 and pits
their  activities against a discussion of
situationism that adumbrates some of the
movement's unconscious aporias: sovereign power,
individualism and the resultant  ëorganisational
voidí.

RECEPTION
On Friday 7th there will be a launch
party for the website and  for Infopool No.4.
There is an outside chance that we will be able to
show the  situationist film 'So Ein Ding' [Such a
Thing] - a collaborative project made in  Munich
in 1961 by Group Spur, Jacqueline De Jong, Jorgen
Nash and Albert  Mertz.

REFERENCE ROOM
Clinic will also host a temporary
reference room on  Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th
December. Open between 1.00 and 6.00 visitors will
 be able to browse through some of the
situationist publications that have  sourced the
project and which have been borrowed from
libraries in  Copenhagen.

PAMPHLET
Over the weekend Infopool No.4, a 48-page
illustrated pamphlet,  will be available for UKP2.00

WEBSITE
This can be accessed from 7th December via
the Infopool.org.uk website




Thanks to Nils Norman and the Clinic

what's dorkbotlondon?
first there was dorkbotnyc, a monthly meeting of electronic artists in new
york.

"dorkbotnyc is a monthly meeting of artists (sound / image / movement /
whatever), designers, engineers, students and other interested parties from
the new york area who are involved in the creation of electronic art (in the
broadest sense of the term.)"

some people realised that their home city of london was in dire need of such
a meeting, and dorkbotlondon was born.

loads of good people turned up to our first one, enjoyed some great talks
and chatter. so we're going to try and make it a monthly event, on the the
first wednesday of each month (same as dorkbotnyc).

Subject: NEWS: India's Silicon Valley gets ready for ambitious Linux event



INDIA'S SILICON VALLEY GETS READY FOR AN AMBITIOUS GNU/LINUX EVENT

By Frederick Noronha

IT'S BEING billed as one of the most ambitious GNU/Linux event of its kind,
and it's being staged in Bangalore, the South Indian city considered the
'Silicon Valley' of this country. Volunteer-organisers of the 'Linux
Bangalore/2001 are already confidently promising that the three-day
conference will cover a very wide canvas on understanding and using Linux.

To be held from December 10 to 12, 2001, this event is being built into an
'applied technology' conference. It is intended for open source and
free-software developers, administrators, and users. And IT decision makers.

Mahendra M., currently the coordinator of the Bangalore Linux Users' Group
(BLUG) calls this major event one "for the Linux community, by the Linux
community". Recent years have seen a spurt in interest in free software and
open source usage in India, a country which is sometimes considered a
software power-house, but where the lack of affordable Internet access till
the late 'nineties has delayed the expected surge of interest in Linux.

Signs are now coming in, though, that a significant segment of a generation
of college students and programmers in various parts of India are getting
fascinated by this new way of working on software. It is expected that in a
few years time, countries like India could contribute significantly to the
global grassroots drive to build up the 'free' software world.

Said Mahendra, a young engineer: "Linux Bangalore/2001 is a three day
conference on understanding and using Linux technologies. This conference
aims to cover a large number of areas that include core Linux technologies,
Open Source, Embedded Systems and other allied technologies. We are planning
to give 72 talks over a period of three days."

This conference aims to cover a large number of areas that include core
Linux technologies, Open Source, Embedded Systems and other allied
technologies. 

Its primary audience will be the core (or potential) Linux-using community
of developers (who are being appropriately categorized, for this techie
meet, as /dev), system administrators (/adm), users (/usr) and
CxO/managers/decision makers (/cxo).

"Each track will include introductory, technical, how-to and tutorial
sessions, catering to 'newbies' (people new to Linux) to 'gurus' (people who
know Linux in and out)," explained Mahendra.

To make this event accessible to many, entrance is free. This is significant
in a Third World country where the cost factor still looms large, and when
people talk about GNU/Linux being a 'free' operating system, the cost aspect
could be as important as the freedom aspect, for many.

Said the organisers, commenting about what they called the 'entry f(r)ee'
status of the event: "We have decided to make entry free for all. We feel
that it is the present student community that is going to drive the
phenomenal growth of Linux (in India) in the days to come and it would be
doing injustice if they find the event costs prohibitive. At the same time,
we see no need to make employees run to their managers to get budget
approval just so that they can attend this event. As long as you can get an
approval for $ 0 /Rs 0 from your company, you can attend!"

Over one thousand persons registered for the event by end-November,
according to Indian Linux guru Atul Chitnis. This Bangalore-based software
whizz's efforts at promoting Linux through popular Indian computing
magazines like PC-QUEST, in the past, have taken this OS to varied nook and
crannies of this vast country of 1000 million.

"New technologies and their implementation/application under Linux will be
discussed as well, making this a technology conference to remember. In
addition to this, we also intend to provide assistance to new users and more
information to technology enthusiasts," promised the organisers.

During the event, there will be multiple tracks and with six sessions every
day from 10 am to 5 pm, plus Birds-of-Feather (BoF) sessions at the end of
the day. There will be an estimated 70-72 talks. 

In addition, also planned are separate workshops, tutorials, case studies
and demonstrations. Speakers for this event will be drawn from the Indian
Linux community, as well as the IT industry. 

This event is being held at the impressive J.N.Tata Auditorium at the
Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Incidentally, a team at
the IISc itself is inching its way towards completing what it calls the
'Simputer'. This simple and inexpensive sub-$200 (Rs 9000) computing device
that is expected to make computing affordable to the commonman (and woman).
Not coincidentally perhaps, the Simputer is to work on GNU/Linux.

Exploiting the Net technologies to the optimum, the organisers sought
volunteers to offer talks. This drew in dozens of enthusiastic specialists,
giving a clue of the vast spread and understanding GNU/Linux has gained
across India since the late 'nineties... and in some cases, a little earlier.

Talks range from connecting to the Internet, to setting up an "optimal"
Linux server, and adding a scripting language to your toolkit.

Remote booting disk-less machines, 'bug-safe' Linux, IDS and Forensic
Analysis, IPv6 deployment and usage, 'thin clients', Lotus Domino on Linux,
Linux Intrusion Detection System (LIDS), deploying ATMs on Linux, anti-spam
tools, GRID computing, low-cost ISP (Internet Service Provider) setups, and
bandwidth management using Linux are among the other subjects to be covered.

On the developer track, speakers will explain GNOME development tools and
BONOBO, the Linux kernel itself, Linux device drivers, porting and embedding
Linux, PHP programming, data-driven websites, licenses, Linux databases,
clustering concepts in Linux and a range of other topics.

Some of the names of those tackling these subjects are familiar through the
well-knit Linux networks and communities that exist in cyberspace. Recent
attempts to unearth Indian programming contributions to Linux have shown
that the once-small effort is now fast growing, more than is generally
understood or acknowledged. 

IT managers and decision-makers could also tune in to topics such as Linux
for ISO 9000:2000 Implementations, Linux in the enterprise, Linux in Indian
space science research, Linux as the 'dream OS', and experiments learnt from
the KDE experiment.

Linux users will not be left out either. They can choose from learning more
on Linux on the 'corporate desktop', multimedia under Linux, or 3D images
and animations. 

One area of interest to many would be Linux's potential in VoIP
(voice-over-Internet protocol, or Net telephony). For long banned by the
Indian government, VoIP is expected to be legalised sometime after March 2002.

What is also vitally important to the future of computing in India is the
attempt to offer Indian-language Linux versions, that could be accessible to
the millions who don't understand English.

During the event, Frank Pohlmann is scheduled to speak on the Linux
Documentation Project and Indian languages. other speakers will also present
studies on Indian language computing on Linux and related subjects.

This event is managed by young volunteers of BLUG, the Bangalore Linux
Users' Group. Including Mahendra M (BLUG Coordinator), Jessica Prabhakar, 
Biju Chacko, Syed Khader Vali, Kingsly John, U.K.Jaiswal Manager Support, 
Kalyan Varma Alluri, Vineeth S, Madhu M. Kurup. 

Advisors to this ambitious plan are long-time GNU/Linux gurus Gopi Garge ·
and Atul Chitnis You can reach the team by email: lb2001 at linux-bangalore
dot org. 

Hewlett Packard (India Software Operations) has wholly sponsored Linux
Bangalore/2001, amidst some early fears that the recession and the September
11 attacks in the US might make the task of finding sponsorship impossible.

Updates are at http://linux-bangalore.org/2001  

In addition, there is also a mailing-list set up to discuss plans for the
event. If you wish to discuss about the event, send a blank email to

Things To Come #23

Mouchette's_Last_Birthday_Party

De Balie  - Salon
Friday December 14

Start 21.00 hrs.


Mouchette the resident of mouchette.org, celebrates her last birthday party
in De Balie. Mouchette's existence is clouded with ambivalence. One of the
mayor questions is if she exists at all? When you send an e-mail to
Mouchette via her web site, you get a reply. According to the web site she
lives in Amsterdam, we can read this in the declaration of love that she
has published on her web site... Yet nobody has ever found her there...

Mouchette, as she states herself, is modelled after the main character of
the film by the same name of Robert Breson (1967), in which a 13-year old
girl commits suicide.

Mouchette and her friends will be present in real virtuality and present
themselves extensively to her guests. A webmix projected in the space will
show work of Mouchette's friends, her favourite net.artists and her own
work.

For everybody who comes to visit her party there will be a gift to take
home, a tangible symbol of the phantom Mouchette, who already lives since
1996 in her web domain:  http://www.mouchette.org

Mouchette's Last_Birthday_Party is her last, because she is expected to
commit suicide during the party, just as will be the case in future
birthday party's, in 2002, 2003, and so on for ever....

Take a look at her special birthday site:

Subject: press release - very cyberfeminist international

Very Cyberfeminist International - Press Information - Very Condensed Version	


The Old Boys Network (OBN) proudly presents:


Very Cyberfeminist International
Hamburg/Germany - December 13th to 16th, 2001
Lichtmesz-Kino, Gausstr. 25, 22765 Hamburg

>From december 13th to december 16th, 2001 the Old Boys Network (OBN) invites cyberfeminists, fans, friends and fiends of cyberfeminism as well as the interested public to join the Very Cyberfeminist International in Hamburg/Germany - the 3rd international meeting of the cyberfeminist alliance, following the First Cyberfeminist International (Kassel/Germany, September 1997, in the context of Hybrid Workspace at documenta X), and the Next Cyberfeminist International (Rotterdam and Amsterdam/NL, March 1999, in the context of Next Five Minutes Festival)

Cyberfeminism is no game without borders, but a playing with borders that takes them seriously, a work at the boundaries of that 'contested zone' in which the so-called real and virtual diverge, and which mines utopias of transgression, understanding them as a potential for transformation. What role does the digital medium play in the current restructuring of the world when old borders are shifted and new ones set up? And what is the symbolic and concrete function of 'woman' in this process?

A complex field opens up at the interface between gender and technology which results from the question of border and it's transgression. Mostly symbolic transgressions will be analyzed which are experienced (and sentenced) as aggression against an existing order. Artists, politicians, theorists and activists from 11 different countries with highly diverse and international radius of action have been invited.


Hostesses:
The Very Cyberfeminist International is organized by the Old Boys Network (OBN),
claudia reiche, cornelia sollfrank, helene von oldenburg, verena kuni
- - in cooperation with: les pénélopes (F); constant vzw verenigung voor kunst en media (B) & make: the organisation for women in the arts [formerly known as the women's art library] (London/GB).

Old Boys Network (OBN)

The old boys network (OBN) came together in summer of 1997, to build up the first international cyberfeminist alliance on- and offline. Basing itself on the commitment to multiple and mutual cooperations as well as the idea of a policy of dissent, the old boys network (OBN) works through personal and media-based networks, thereby developing and practising a variety of cyberfeminist strategies in the field of gender and electronic media.
In addition to their daily work on theories, practices, aesthetics and politics of cyberfeminism(s), the active members of the old boys network (OBN) aim to develop different formats for the distribution and exchange of information and ideas. As well as maintaining the OBN homepage (www.obn.org) and a mailing list, OBN regularly organizes live presentations, lectures, workshops, and symposia for face-to-face-exchange, including conferences like the First Cyberfeminist International (Kassel/Germany, September 1997, in the context of Hybrid Workspace at documenta X), and the Next Cyberfeminist International (Rotterdam and Amsterdam/NL, March 1999, in the context of Next Five Minutes Festival), and currently the Very Cyberfeminist International (Hamburg, 2001, in the context with Cyberfem Spirit - Spirit of Data/exhibition, Edith-Russ-Haus fuer Medienkunst, Oldenburg and technics of cyberfeminism, symposium/lab, thealit Frauen.Kultur.Labor, Bremen). 
So far, the activities of OBN are documented not only online, accessable at the OBN homepage (www.obn.org), but also in print with two OBN Readers, published in 1998 and in 1999, available via email to boys@obn.org (background infos and prices also to be found on our homepage, http://www.obn.org).
