Subject: TRANSMEDIA 2002 - 15 SECONDS OF FAME
TRANSMEDIA 2002 >>>>>>15 SECONDS OF FAME
http://www.year01.com/transmedia2002
YEAR ZERO ONE is currently seeking entries for TRANSMEDIA 2002, the
second bi-annual festival of digital works by Canadian and international
artists broadcast on outdoor video billboards. The critically acclaimed
TRANSMEDIA 2000, featured the work of 12 artists on a large LED video
billboard at a busy intersection in downtown Toronto. (exhibition
archive at: http://www.year01.com/transmedia2000)
Fame is elusive, transitory, expensive and always in your face...in our
accelerated and saturated media culture is Warhol's 15 minutes now far
too long? YEAR ZERO ONE will allow artists 15 seconds to inject their
electronic vision of fame in a public urban space to a large audience.
Artists may choose to interpret this theme however they wish although
works which address both the subjectand make use of the 'site specific'
video billboard medium will be preferred by the jurors.
The YEAR ZERO ONE collective will select 12 works, ie: short format
digital video, animation, etc., without the use of audio. Works must be
exactly 15 seconds in length - we will insert artist credit and title in
intro before each 15 second piece. Each selected artwork will be looped
and broadcast up to 4 times per hour 24/7 for the duration of the 3 week
show. The exhibition will be archived and available for viewing to a
world wide audience on year01.com. Artist fees will be paid.
Please submit screening copy in quicktime video format 400 pixels wide X
300 pixels high to:
transmedia@year01.com
DEADLINE for entries: July 1, 2002
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
YEAR ZERO ONE is an on-line artist run centre which operates as a
network for the dissemination of digital culture and new
media through web based exhibitions, an extensive media arts directory,
and the YEAR01 Forum - an electronic art journal.

ATA Press Release - English version below -
III BIENAL IBEROAMERICANA DE LIMA PRESENTA DOS OBRAS CO-PRODUCIDAS POR ALTA
TECNOLOGIA ANDINA
La III Bienal Iberoamericana de Lima, evento que está programado hasta el 31
de mayo en Lima, presenta actualmente dos obras realizadas gracias al apoyo
de Alta Tecnología Andina (ATA). La obra representante de México, ³La fe
mueve montañas², realizada por Francis Älys, fue grabada y editada con
equipos de ATA, permitiendo llevar a cabo el concepto de registro e
intervención planteado por su autor. Dos horas de video en DVCAM fueron
reducidas y sincronizadas a 1 hora (en dos partes), proyectadas luego en
formato DVD.
De la misma forma, uno de los proyectos premiados en la II Bienal Nacional
del año 2000, ³eau de Sarita², de Giuliana Migliori, fue realizada gracias
al apoyo de ATA. Desde la edición del casting para el proyecto una hora de
personajes desfilando ante la cámara de Carlo León, dirigida por Migliori-
hasta la producción, realización y post-producción final de un
pseudo-comercial en una playa al sur de Lima, el proyecto de Migliori, más
allá de ser un objeto-arte, fue culminado en los espacios de ATA, y también
preparado para ser proyectado en DVD.
Estos proyectos han sido producidos por ATA gracias al apoyo de la Fundación
Daniel Langlois para el arte, la ciencia y la tecnología (Canadá).
Satisfechos por el trabajo realizado, ATA agradece a todas las personas que
apoyaron el desarrollo de ambos proyectos, confirmando la vocación por el
desarrollo cultural que ya reverbera en el país.

TWO ARTISTIC WORKS IN THE III IBEROAMERICAN BIENNIAL OF LIMA HAVE BEEN
CO-PRODUCED BY ALTA TECNOLOGIA ANDINA
The III Iberoamerican Biennial of Lima, event which will be held in Lima
city until May 31st, is presenting two works developed thanks to the support
of Alta Tecnología Andina (ATA). The work from México, ³La fe mueve
montañas², by artist Francis Älys, was recorded and edited with ATA¹s
equipment, allowing to carry out the registration and intervention concepts
planned by the author. Two hours of DVCAM video were reduced and
synchronized to a 1 hour, two parts piece, projected afterwards in DVD.
In the same way, one of the winning projects of the II National Biennial
(Perú, 2000), ³eau de Sarita², by artist Giuliana Migliori, was realized
thanks to ATA¹s support. From the 1 hour edition of a casting made by
cameraman Carlo León, and directed by Giuliana Migliori, to the production,
realization and final post-production of a pseudocommercial made in a beach
south of Lima, Migliori¹s project beyond being an art-object- was completed
in ATA¹s installations, and also prepared to be projected in DVD.
This projects had been produced by ATA thanks to a grant from The Daniel
Langlois Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology (Canada). Satisfied
for the work done, ATA thanks all the people that supported the development
of both projects, confirming the spirit for cultural development that
already enlightens our country.

Subject: tm salon: Inke Arns: Net Cultures, Tue 7 May 2002, Berlin, 20:00
Dears,
my book on 'Net Cultures' has just been published. I will give an "illustrated introduction"
to the book's theme on Tuesday 7 May 2002 during the transmediale salon in the Podewil
in Berlin. Here's some information about the book including the table of contents
[translated into English] -- don't be mistaken: the book (& the event) is in German!
Greetings from Berlin,

Inke Arns. Netzkulturen, Hamburg: Europaeische Verlagsanstalt, April 2002
Since the development of graphic web interfaces in the beginning of the 1990s the use of
the Internet and/or Web has risen dramatically. Here, new spaces of potentiality are
developing which lead to the development of specific net cultural practices. The
development of these practices is in large part due to the usage of digital ‘minor media’
(a.k.a. tactical media, sovereign media) which not only allow the users to read (passively),
but which, most importantly, enable them to write (actively). ‘Minor media’ can thus be
defined as practices, rather than distinct technologies.
After providing a brief overview over the historical development of the Internet since the
1960s, Netzkulturen / Net Cultures gives a broad introduction to the net cultures of the
1990s, which predominantly deal with the political, artistic and social dimensions of the
Internet and which are opposed to its commercialisation. The Net now becomes, e.g., a
political tool: “context-systems”, as well as various (communication enabling respectively
blocking) net activisms employ new net-specific strategies for the realisation of net internal
or external political and social goals. At the same time there developed a specific “net art”
which deals with the Net artistically / aesthetically and whose development was
predominantly influenced by artists and activists from Eastern Europe. Finally, over the
last ten years in Europe and beyond there emerged a filigrane network of independent
media cultural institutions, groups and translocal communities communicating via mailing
lists whose members critically reflect the political, cultural and economical consequences
of the Internet and the social consequences of technological developments in general.
Commentary by Inke Arns
In this book, under the title “Net Cultures” I am describing very diverse and heterogenous
ways of using and working with new media. Common to all these practices is the use of
minor media. These are not to be understood as techniques, or technologies in the narrow
sense, but as critical, minor practices opposed to thoses of mass media. Certain
technologies simply enable more easily the development of self-determined forms of
media practice than others. The Internet, for example, allows its users to not only remain
passive receivers, but become active senders themselves.
In an increasingly mediated world the early appropriation of a critical media literacy
becomes increasingly important. Critical media literacy encompasses a self-confident and
conscious use of those technologies we are surrounded by on an everyday basis, of their
possibilities and dangers, as, for example, the potential for control and surveillance
inherent in the digital media. I have followed the projects which I am presenting in this
book either from an internal perspective, or from very close by. These examples of 'good
practice' are meant to incite a creative use of media technologies.

Subject: vOluptuary : an algorithic hermaphornology
For Immediate Release
Joseph Nechvatal
vOluptuary : an algorithic hermaphornology
May 22nd - July 3rd 2002
Opening Reception: Wednesday, May 22nd (6-8pm)
Universal Concepts Unlimited announces the opening of new media pioneer
Joseph Nechvatal's exhibition "vOluptuary : an algorithic hermaphornology".
This exhibition consists of recent computer-robotic assisted paintings on
canvas and a complimentary custom real-time operative artificial-life viral
computer application which consumes the file images on which the paintings
are based. There will be an opening party on Wednesday, May 22nd from 6-8
PM.
Since 1986, Joseph Nechvatal has been making computer-robotic assisted
paintings which allow the tradition of canvas painting to integrate into our
present digital times. In this sense he has been creating an interface
between the virtual and the actual - what Nechvatal calls the "viractual".
It is through this exploration of viractuality which has brought Nechvatal
to the creation of complex numeric viractual images which typically consist
of a mixture of drawing, digital-photography, painting, written language,
and externalized computer code - all of which is submitted to computational
manipulations (including viral attacks). His current work, called
"vOluptuary: an algorithic hermaphornology" (1) stems from a computer virus
program developed by the artist in 1991 as a Louis Pasteur
artist-in-residence in Arbois, France. Nechvatal's featured paintings
translate intimate body images of both sexes into basic pictorial units
which he and his computer-virus mutate and metamorphose.
"vOluptuary: an algorithic hermaphornology" makes use of what Gilles Deleuze
has called 'pornology' (2) for here representations of the intimate body
associated with sexuality (of both sexes) undergo an intricate
re-combination and subsequent intermixture with flowers. Of crucial interest
to "vOluptuary: an algorithic hermaphornology" is the origin of the
hermaphroditic androgyny image. This hybrid image first appears in Ovid's
classic text 'Metamorphoses' - and perhaps this emergence is well worth
recounting here. The hermaphrodite initially occurs in Western culture as a
son of Hermes and Aphrodite named Hermaphroditus. Hermaphroditus was a
typical, if exceptionally handsome, young male with whom the water nympth
Salmacis fell madly in love. When Hermaphroditus rejected her sexual
advances, Salmacis voyeuristicly observed him from afar while desiring him
fiercely. Finally, one spring day Hermaphroditus stripped nude and dove into
the pool of water which was Salmacis's habitat. Salmacis immediately dove in
after him - embracing him and wrapping her body around his, just as, Ovid
says, ivy does around a tree. She then prayed to the gods that she would
never be separated from him - a prayer that they answered favorably.
Consequently, Hermaphroditus emerged from the pool both man and woman.
As the tale of Hermaphroditus suggests, "vOluptuary: an algorithic
hermaphornology" is a show of androgyny eroticism married to flowery
virtuality (3), incomprehensible transformation and immersive excess. It
aims to depict an imagined realm of political-spiritual chaosmos where new
forms of sexual order arise such that any form of order is only temporary
and provisional. Obviously this sphere is attained through an emergent
operation, and, indeed, Nechvatal takes abundant pleasure in the forms of
pan-order that arise within his continuously swelling processes. The point
is that within the "vOluptuary" all sexual signs are subject to boundless
semiosis - which is to say that they are translatable into other signs.
Here, of course, it is possible to find resonances and affinities between
sexual opposites. Here a chameleon-like sexual attitude is being built from
the virtual abyss.
Within the realm of the "vOluptuary" no one fathoms whether they are female
or male. All rest between male and female, between straight and gay, between
dominant and submissive - nothing but curves and clefts. All is in a matrix
of possibilities, self-assembled out of a flowery excess of erogenous
organs.
notes:
(1) The word 'voluptuary' generally means 'devoted to pleasure'. It comes
from a Late-Latin variant of the Latin voluptarius / voluptas.
(2) Pornology is aimed at confronting an idea with its own limits. The idea
is rendered precise in Deleuze's essay 'Klossowski or Bodies-Language'
which is found in his book 'The Logic of Sense'. Here Deleuze develops the
term 'pornology' so as to describe the dynamic of a transcendental
empiricism in the circuit Klossowski establishes between theology, as a
divine belief structure, and pornography, as a perverse expression of the
body.
(3) One here thinks of Alan Turing (the grandfather of computing) and his
horrid endurance of a quack treatment for his homosexuality where he was
overdosed with female hormones to the point where he developed breasts.
Joseph Nechvatal has exhibited his work widely in Europe and the United
States, both in private and public venues. He is in the permanent collection
of the Los Angeles County Museum, the Moderna Musset in Stockholm and the
Israel Museum in Jerusalem. His work was included in Document 8. His
web-site, with full CV, collected writings, and various essays on his work

6TH INTERNATIONAL BROWSERDAY
WIRELESS =AD CELLSPACE =AD RICH AIR
PARADISO =AD AMSTERDAM - friday May 17 - 2002
Start at 2 PM
Browserday, the international competition for new media designers, is
coming back to Amsterdam. After Browserdays in New York and Berlin, the nex=
t
event will take place at Paradiso on 17 May 2002. In 1998, the first
Browserday was staged in the midst of the so-called 'Browserwar' between
Netscape and Microsoft. Ever since the question who owns infrastructure and
thus determines the ways in which billions of people communicate has become
increasingly urgent. The techno-economic battleground has shifted from the
Internet to mobile networks but the issues are still the same: who sets the
standards and owns them? What degree of freedom does the user have and what
is the role of designers in this fast changing world of new media? Almost 3=
5
young designers will present their alternative proposals that leave the
existing software and interface culture far behind.
Wireless
The networks have liberated themselves from their cables. Electroclouds blo=
w
through the streets. The heavy desktop computers of yesteryear have shrunk
and accompany us everywhere and nowhere. The unbearable lightness of the
media makes us feel uneasy about the almost perfect accessability of the
world. The invisible abundance of signs takes users into a technological
unconscious. For the moment all problems seem to be solved. But who are the
ones that invite us to this technological wonderland? Are wireless networks
part of society or are we mere paying guests of this cell space; clients
granted access only after having paid? Does wireless mean powerless? Can we
act against wireless devices being tapped? Are there public spaces on the
network that aren't being run by the big telecoms? What do the tiny screens
look like that offer more facilities than sending text messages or photos?

MOBILE MINDED - publication
This is the mobile world of quotes, essays, statistics and factoids, all
reflecting the very young state of the art in wireless thinking. This
publication asks what it means to become cellular, think wearable and live
mobile. Liberated from cables and heavy objects, the new human condition of
always being available is a remarkably light and unreflected one. Mobile
phones seem to fit in almost unconsciously our busy everyday lives. More
than 60 thinkers, designers, artists have contributed to this colorful book=
.
The texts of this book are compiled by Geert Lovink & Mieke Gerritzen.
Design by NL.Design. The publisher is BIS Publishers (nl) and Gingko Press
(usa). The book is available at browserday for 12 euro.

From: Ute Lenssen <lenssen@bauhaus-dessau.de>
Subject: Invitation to the Bauhaus Dessau
Dear friends and supporters of the Bauhaus Kolleg,
liebe Freunde des Bauhaus Kollegs,
the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation cordially invites you to attend the
presentation of the results of the
die Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau lädt herzlich ein zur Vorstellung der Ergebnisse
(in englischer Sprache) des
2. Trimester of the current Bauhaus Kolleg III Serve City
Dwelling as Interface -
on Wednesday, May 8, 2002 starting at 6pm CET
in the exhibition space of the Bauhaus in Dessau.
Please join us in discovering the SPA of Sydney, play a game of
physical/virtual spider slapping and discuss the implication of ICT on
dwelling and urban life. Afterwards, around 9.30 pm, we will gather casually
to celebrate the end of an exciting trimester with wine and music.
Since September 2001 the Bauhaus Kolleg Serve City has been exploring the
consequences of the new information- and communication technologies for the
company¹s organizational culture and immaterial labour of service industries
in the globalised e-conomy and their effects for the urban living and
working.
The works of the second trimester (February - May 2002) investigate possible
relations between dwelling and information + communication technology (ICT).
ICT is facilitating the disintegration of flexibilized capitalism while at
the same time recombining working, living, space and time of individuals and
cities. Some of the contributions will present actual system designs. These
systems act within new service platforms to link existing potentials of
facilities and situations related to the urban neighbourhood. At the same
time, basic aspects of "dwelling" are explored, where up until now unknown
changes are being introduced by ICT. These are the emotional and functional
conditions of dwelling in terms of private shelter, home, and space of
personal representation.
Die Arbeiten des zweiten Trimsters untersuchen mögliche Beziehungen zwischen
dem Wohnen und den neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien
(IKT). IKT erzeugen zunehmende Desintegrationen im flexibilisierten
Kapitalismus; gleichzeitig rekombinieren sie das Verhältnis von Arbeit und
Leben, von Raum und Zeit der Individuen und Städte. Einige der Arbeiten sind
konkrete Systementwürfe - in denen beispielsweise ICT existierende
Potentiale von Einrichtungen und Situationen im Wohn(um)feld auf der Ebene
neuer Serviceplattformen verbinden. Gleichzeitig gibt es ebenso
grundsätzlich angelegte Auseinandersetzungen, die auf Kernaspekte des
Wohnens zielen und durch ICT in bisher unbekannter Weise veränderlich
werden. Dies sind die emotionalen und funktionalen Bedingungen des Wohnens
als persönlicher Rückzugsort, als Heimat und als Repräsentationsraum.
For those who cannot be with us in person there is of course ICT!
The presentation will be broadcast life on the Internet at
http://www.bauhaus-dessau.de/en/index.asp starting at 6 pm.

WhiteCube goes erudition:
THE ACADEMY AND THE CORPORATE PUBLIC
attempts the mapping of a new phenomenon - a shift in
the idea of the public sphere that has been induced by a corporate
world economy - and it tries to discuss the ways in which this shift seems=
to
go hand in glove with a different function for art, and a different
conception of the role of the artist.

Subject: Dorkbotlondon #6
hey hey
dorkbotlondon launches into may with space rockets and sound apps...
speakers (with apologies to ntk):
LEON BARKER will show us his project to shoot fm transmitters into the
sky, transmitting all the way until cloud zero. Next on the launch pad
comes KATE RICH of http://bureauit.org, who we predict will outline
projects including the shooting of wireless microvideo into the sky.
Last but not least we have THOR of http://www.ixi-software.net/, showing
off the IXI PROJECT's startling range of uniquely strange yet highly
useable music interfaces - both hardware and (freely downloadable)
software.
We'll also be trying an OPENDORK session; some time for people who want
to get up and talk about something strange involving electricity for
five minutes. Use the time to call for participants in your project, field
some
ideas about generative art theory, or show off your marmalade turbine.
time: 7pm Wednesday 8th May 2002
place: Boxing Club, Limehouse Town Hall, 646 Commercial Road E14 7HA.
appearance: great big 1870s civic building
tel: 020 79870655
directions from central/east london:
Get onto Commercial Road and travel East from Aldgate or Whitechapel.
Keep going until you pass Limehouse DLR on your right (you go under the
DLR train bridge) and you'll see a modern red brick church also on the
right, then a pair of ESSO stations on either side of the street, then
the library with a statue of Clement Atlee in front of it, then you'll
see the Town Hall, with the Limehouse Hawksmoor church behind it. At
this point you should get off the bus/out of the car and come ring on
the "Boxing Club" bell.

Subject: GH Hovagimyan at Hunter College May 8!
HUNTER COLLEGE'S UNTAMED SIGNAL LECTURE SERIES PRESENTS:
THE LAST PRESENTATION OF THIS SEASON'S SERIES!!
New Media Artist GH Hovagmiyan
Wednesday, May 8 6PM
Ida K. Lang Hall, Hunter College
68th Street at Lexington
Hunter North , 4th Floor, Rm 424
Free/ refreshments will be served, for more info: 212.772.4949
Presented by Andrea Polli
G.H.Hovagimyan is a radical conceptual artist who has written about art
for Manhattan File magazine and ArtNet. His videos have been shown at
the MOMA and New Museum in New York. He received national attention for
his controversial "Hey Bozo...Use Billboard" for the New York MTA.
His recent works operate in hybrid areas between networked performance,
interactive installation and sound art. He has exhibited work throughout
the USA and France, including Eyebeam Atelier, Franklin Furnace, and the
Musee D'Art Contemporain, Marseille.
"Part of our overall structure in previous works (Talker Talker, A
SoaPOPera for Laptops, Exercises in Talking, The Last Noel Avant L'An
2000) has been to use media driven language...In a certain sense these
media forms suffer a never ending drive for uniqueness of expression.
The effect is often the reverse."
_____________________________________________________________
THE UNTAMED SIGNAL was Coordinated by Elisa Sverdlova, Lynne Sachs,
Andrea Polli, Ebon Fisher and the Faculty at the Dept. of Film & Media
Studies, Hunter College. Sponsored by the Student Film & Video Society
Hunter College, New York.
