Subject: Singapore Art Exhibition
Singapore Art Museum, Dec 8 2001 - Mar 24 2002
Curated by Gunalan Nadarajan
Exhibition Website: www.cyberarts.scholars.nus.edu.sg/nsa01
In the last few decades the art world has been flooded with a number of
terms invented to define the developing artforms employing the so-called
'new' technologies;
for example, electronic arts, digital arts, media arts, new media and most
recently, cyberarts. While all these terms have been variously useful in
defining historically
specific developments in contemporary artistic practice, I have found the
term cyberarts to be most useful and inclusive. For example, the term
Electronic Arts is
historically-specific to some art practices from the sixties till the early
eighties which were based on and operated via electronic systems. The term
'digital arts' is also
historically-specific to the digitisation technologies brought about by
developments in computer graphics. These technologies have themselves been
superceded by the
so-called 'cybertechnologies' of which digitization is merely one aspect.
Moreover, the term digital arts in also limited by the type of authoring
techniques used and
images / sounds thus generated. However, it is noteworthy that the term
'digital arts' enjoys and may continue to have currency in the contemporary
art world. The term,
'cyberarts', proposed here seeks to ultimately replace 'digital arts' by
providing a more comprehensive term to embrace artworks and practices that
already go beyond
'digital media'.
The most recent term that has been invoked to refer to these technologically
driven developments in contemporary art is 'new media'. Lev Manovich, the
media theorist, has
in his recent book, The Language of New Media, identified five
characteristics that conceptually distinguish 'new media' from previous art
forms. These are namely, numerical
coding that facilitates the programmability of the media; modularity that
creates a structural discreteness of its parts; automation of its production
and access; variability,
meaning that the media can continue to be presented in variable formats and
versions well after its 'completion'; and finally, transcoding, insofar as
its codes operate between
and are therefore transferable across different systems. While, Manovich's
conceptual clarification of what constitutes 'new media' is incisive and
useful for our understanding
of many of the contemporary developments in art and technology, there is no
reason why the term 'new media' is most appropriate. The term 'new' in new
media, is
conceptually empty insofar as what constitutes the 'new' at any point in
time is so variable as to impossible to identify. The use of the word 'new'
also does not facilitate a
better theoretical framing or understanding of the peculiar artistic and/or
technological developments of the art works. However, given the theoretical
value of the
abovementioned characteristics to illuminate our understanding of the
ongoing developments in the cyberarts, it would be useful to coopt them into
our understanding of the
cyberarts.
The term 'cyber' derives from the Greek root, kubernare that refers to the
"act of controlling a ship" where the 'pilot' was refered to as kubernetes.
Kubernare is also the root
of the word, 'government' which refers to the composite acts of control as
well as the organization / entity that is charged with that task. The
mathematician Norbert Weiner
defined cybernetics as the study and strategic deployment of communicative
control processes within complex systems constituted by hierarchically
ordered entities. And
by this he initiated a revolutionary development in the way we have come to
think about information and control. Cybernetic systems are thus conceived
to be made up of
information flows between differently constituted entities like humans,
computers, animals and even environments. The flow of information was
conceived as a principle
explaining how organization occurs across and within multiple hierarchical
levels. This meant that seemingly bounded entities could be translated /
codified into information
thereby enabling interfaces and easy interactions between them. It is in
fact arguable that in the last two decades a large amount of technological
innovation has been
towards greater cyberneticization. This means that in addition to
innovations that allow existing technologies to become integrated with each
other through cross-platform
operability, the 'new' in many 'new technologies' have been exactly their
ability to hybridise previously separate functionalities, e.g.
web-integrated mobile phones, biochips,
artificial life, etc. It is this translatability, more accurately desire to
translate, different physical entities and processes into information as
well as the control afforded thereby
that distinctly characterizes and enables what have come to be called
cybertechnologies.
Thus, one can sum up that the term cyberarts refers to all those art forms,
practices and processes that are produced and mediated by the continuing
developments in
cybertechnologies, specifically in information, communication, imaging,
experiential, interface and bio-technologies. The cyberarts as defined by
contemporary art practice
include the following: digital imaging (whether as digital painting, digital
photography and digital video); computer animation; holographic art; virtual
reality environments,
including gaming; robotic arts; net-art, including works in hypertext and
telematics; human-machine interfaces (e.g. cyborg technologies); bio-arts
that employ
biotechnologies (e.g. DNA music, transgenic art, artificial life); computer
music & sound arts; and hybrid art works involving interaction with other
art forms (e.g. theatre,
dance, installations, etc.).
This exhibition introduces the Singapore audience to the exciting art works
that have resulted from the intersections of art with recent developments in
technologies. The
term, techn, which forms the root of the word 'technology' in the classical
Greek referred to the means and methods of creative making and as such was
not different from the
idea of art. However, historically technology has been relegated to refer to
functional and pragmatic creation in contradistinction to art. The aim of
this exhibition is to
deliberate on the intersections and productive tensions between art and
technology as exemplified in recent developments in the cyberarts. Given the
serious lack of such
artforms and practices in Singapore the exhibition had to jumpstart its
systematic development by facilitating the local production of exemplary
works in the field of cyberarts.
Through an initial curatorial briefing and introduction to the cyberarts,
proposals for projects dealing with intersections of art and technology were
invited. Interested artists
were advised to concentrate on the conceptualisation of their projects
without being too concerned with the technological peculiarities and
requirements of their proposed
works. This was especially crucial as there was a paucity of artists working
with cybertechnologies in Singapore and as such, the bulk of the proposals
were anticipated to
be from those who worked with other media. From a total of nearly thirty
proposals, seven proposals were finally selected. The selection was based
not simply on the artistic
merits of the works but on the potential to exemplify and generate critical
discussion on the intersections between art and technology. Selected artists
were then matched
with appropriate technological experts to consult and aid in the production
of the final works. The works in this exhibition have been drawn together on
the basis of two
central issues in cyberculture: virtual actions and virtual spaces. All the
works deliberate on how our conventional notions of spaces and action are
complicated by
technologies of and encounters with the 'virtual'.

* COSIGN 2002
*
* The 2nd International Conference on
*
* COMPUTATIONAL SEMIOTICS FOR GAMES AND NEW MEDIA
*
* Augsburg (Germany)
*
* 2nd September - 4th September, 2002
*
* http://www.kinonet.com/conferences/cosign2002/
*
******************************************************
CONFERENCE SCOPE
====================
This cross-disciplinary conference explores the ways in which semiotics
(and
related theories such as structuralism and post-structuralism) can be
applied to creating and analysing computer systems. It is intended for
anyone with an interest in areas of overlap (or potential overlap)
between
semiotics and computers. This would include, but is not limited to, the
following: computer scientists; HCI and AI practitioners; creators of
expert
systems; digital artists; designers; critics; semioticians;
narratologists;
etc.
Semiotics is the study of signs, symbols and signification, and is
therefore
the study of how meaning is created, encoded and understood.
Computational
semiotics is understood here to be the application of semiotic theories
to
computer systems and interactive digital media. Three possible aspects of
this are:
- The way in which meaning can be created by, encoded in, or understood
by, the computer (using systems or techniques based upon semiotics).
- The way in which meaning in interactive digital media is understood by
the viewer or user (again using systems or techniques based upon
semiotics).
- The way in which semiotics can be used as the starting point for a
system for looking critically at the content of interactive digital
media.
Media that make use of the unique capabilities of digital systems are of
particular interest to this conference. These include: hypermedia;
content
analysis systems (particularly those that extract higher-level meaning);
the
semantic web (and similar systems); multimedia and the internet; digital
art, net art and other technology-based or technology-oriented art forms,
computer games, interactive narratives and other forms of interactive
entertainment; virtual reality systems and virtual environments.
COSIGN 2002 invites submissions in the following categories:
1. Academic Papers
2. Artworks
3. Posters
4. Technical Demonstrations
Details of the submission procedures are given below. Authors of accepted
papers will be required to prepare an electronic version for the online

Subject: media/politics/entertainment: THIS TIME FOR REAL
THIS TIME FOR REAL
- ----------------------------------------------
a MiDiHy project at the Forum Stadtpark, Graz
Every social act would seem to begin with a dialogue with technology - more
and more we are staking out the horizons of our everyday experiences with
the aid of media applications. In THIS TIME FOR REAL MiDiHy once again sets
out to explore how media, art and everyday cultures intersect and influence
each other. At the points of interface between these discourses there
emerges a topography of a wide variety of cultural milieus and subcultures
with their own conventions and rules, who also take recourse to media in
their own specific ways, being present in them or being represented by
them. Contemporary artistic practices are involved in the emergence of such
milieus and subcultures and thus in the processes of constant re-formation
of cultural interconnections.
THIS TIME FOR REAL presents artists, producers, activists, groups and
initiatives who access media channels from different angles, using them as
a space for production and distribution and thus helping to define that
hybrid environment that would seem to play an increasingly important role
in determining our everyday culture and within whose framework ideas of
art, media and politics are constantly changing.

>>VINYLVIDEO(tm) IN THE MIX
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
VinylVideo(tm) is a new, wonderous and fascinating development in the
history of audio-visual media. For the first time in in the history of
technological invention, VinylVideo(tm) makes possible the storage of
visual footage on analog long-play records. Playback from the
VinylVideo(tm) Picture Disk is made possible with the VinylVideo(tm) Unit
which consists of a turntable, a special conversion box (the VinylVideo(tm)
Home Kit) and a television set. In it's combination of analog and digital
elements VinylVideo(tm) is a relic of fake media archeology. At the same
time, VinylVideo(tm) is a vision of new live video mixing possibilities. By
simply placing the tone arm at different points on the record,
VinylVideo(tm) makes possible a random access manipulation of the time
axis. With the extremely reduced picture and sound quality, a new mode of
audio-visual perception evolves. In this way, VinylVideoTM reconstructs a
homemovie medium as a missing link in the hstory of recorded moving images
while simultaneously encompassing contemporary forms of DJ-inf and VJ-ing.
VinylVideoTM is an ongoing collaborative project. Itnernational artists are
invited to produce works for the VinylVideoTM record edition, engaging and
reflecting on the specific qualities of the new medium. So far 23
VinylVideo records have been produced by, among others, Elke Krystufek,
Heimo Zobernig, Annika Eriksson, Vuk Cosic/Alexej Shulgin, JODI, Olia
Lialina, Kristin Lucas und Cecile Babiole.
VinylVideoTM - an invention by Gebhard Sengmüller, in cooperation with
Martin Diamant, Günter Erhart and Best Before.

In a series of experimental real-time settings, members of the design
collectives "vidok" and "re-p.org" project abstract, reduced graphical
animations into minimalist sound compositions by John Norman (bass) and
Stefan Németh (computer, synth). Within a given overall structure, the
actors interact and improvise with each other and with their computers. The
main priority is not only the precision of technical implementation but
rather to develop and establish an autonomous, unmistakable language of
forms. Pinpoint interventions into the respective venues additionally lend
the live acts the look and feel of installations.

Subject: announcement
The 25th São Paulo Bienal presents an international section on net art
curated by Rudolf Frieling from the Center for Art and Media (ZKM).
http://webpointsao3.terra.com.br/bienal/index.html
March 23 to June 2
For the international section of the 25th São Paulo Bienal, 11 Internet
based projects have been selected in relation to this year's overall
topic "iconography of the metropolis". Far from simply exemplifying this
topic literally by referring mainly to the notion of an "icon", the
selection reflects currents and trends that permeate urbanity in all its
manifestations, attitudes that often take the form of open and temporary
networks, communities, collaborations and fields of action. What
artists working with the Internet are specifically interested in, can be
coined "new dynamic tools" for engaging in the city and the society. The
projects assembled are an indication of the range of works situated in
the net including the urge to visualize different stories embedded in
the open dynamics of our contemporary society. The projects selected
help to envision the complexity and the diversity of urban environments
while they develop as well as question the need for participatory strategies.

Projects by Heath Bunting & Olia Lialina; calc & Johannes Gees; Carol
Flax & Trebor Scholz; gruppo A12 & Udo Noll & Peter Scupelli; Marina
Grzinic & Aina Smid; Kristin Lucas; Francesca da Rimini; STANZA; Shi
Yong; Jody Zellen; in addition the Bienal commissioned a net project by
Roberto Cabot.
This international section is accompanied by a selection of Brazilian
projects, curated by Christine Mello (Schoool of Comunication and Art,
University of São Paulo) and, for the most part, commissioned for the
25th Bienal.

Abstract
This lecture will bridge the sphere of privacy advocacy and its practical
implementation in a networked, global and corporate world. Stephanie
Perrin, Chief Privacy Officer of Zero-Knowledge Systems, will discuss the
fundamental threat to privacy in a world that has said ‘yes’ to
surveillance. She will then provide the audience with a first hand account
of the pragmatics of being a CPO, and will discuss some of the problems
CPOs face daily. Stephanie will finalize by describing her work on
international standards, and the common privacy problems that are being
felt worldwide.

Subject: Lecture
The Artworld, Community and Activism: A Meditation Inspired by the Events of
September 11th
A lecture by Robert Atkins, art critic and author, online producer and
activist.
George Mason University, Johnson Center Cinema, Fairfax, Virginia, April 1,
2002, 1:30 p.m.
Modern art emerged two centuries ago from social crisis and this activist
impulse lives on in recent public art by artists and organizations such as
Joseph Beuys, Group Material, Gran Fury and Visual AIDS. In an age of
sensationalistic mass media and the theme-parking of museums, can the
artworld promote the emergence of independent and critical voices? Is there
a tradition of community-based and political art in the U.S.? Is the
internet the last, best hope for artists pursuing social change? As with the
numbing, post-Sept 11th rhetoric about "patriotism," "sacrifice," and
"change," are the appropriate issues even being addressed? In his
illustrated lecture, Mr. Atkins will raise such questions -- and even
provide a few answers.
Robert Atkins, a New York-based art historian, is the initiator of 911‹THE
SEPTEMBER 11 PROJECT: Cultural Intervention in Civic Society
(http://rhizome.org/911) and a founder of Visual AIDS, the group that
originated Day Without Art and the Red Ribbon. He has taught at various
universities and art schools; most recently at the Rhode Island School of
Design. The author of books including ArtSpeak: A Guide to Contempory
Ideas, Movements and Buzzwords and a former columnist for The Village Voice,
he has received awards for art criticism from the NEA, Manufacturers Hanover
Bank, and the Penny McCall Foundation. A research fellow at Carnegie
Mellon's Studio for Creative Inquiry, he is media arts editor of The Media
Channel (www.mediachannel.org) and editor in chief of Artery: The AIDS-Arts
Forum (www.artistswithaids.org/artery). He is currently working on an
anthology of his work called Eye/I Witness: Art Writing as Activism,
Criticism and Reportage.
