Retrofuturism 16

Description. "One World One Virus." Not unusually, media critiques 
form the core of this dispatch. Negativland files a report detailing 
their views on the Island Records vs. SST/Negativland case over the 
provocatively named recording U2. The Immediast Underground's 
contributions include plans for liberating us from the 'ecology of 
coercion' by turning the force of the media spectacle back on itself. 
It is fair to say that plagiarism is on everyone's mind, judging from 
the contributions of Steve Perkins (in a guest editorial entitled 
'Plagiarism: The Bastard Child') and Mark Palmer (an essay entitled 
'Plagiarism: The Truth in Doubling'). The Copyright Violation Squad 
also makes an appearance in support of Negativland, offering to make 
copies their suppressed 'U2' recording to all who send in a blank 
tape. And the League of Disdainists weigh in with a satirical 
'Cultural Survey' on Mail art.

Contributors include. Stephen Perkins, Potlach, Immediast 
Underground, League of Disdainists, Negativland, Copyright Violation 
Squad, Enrico Aresu, Mark Palmer, Benjamin Allen, Thomas Wiloch, 
Lloyd Dunn, Fintan Friel, Clint Simonson, Ross Martin, Florian 
Cramer, U.A. Sanabria, Jean-François Robic

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as a 
repository for a complete collection of Photostatic Magazine, 
Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles) in electronic 
form. We are posting issues in PDF format, at more or less regular 
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a mirror image in 
time of the original series. When the first issue, dating from 1983, 
is finally posted in several year's time, then this electronic 
archive will be complete.

URBAN DRIFT is an independent label and network based in Berlin, which
promotes a trans-cultural urban strategy employing all forms of media and
using the cityscape as both a medium and a sphere of action. Members of
Urban Drift act as tacticians for a contemporary urban praxis, developing
the discourse within Berlin as one of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is
to communicate architecture and urban design to a wider audience, to extend
the boundaries of the architectural discourse, and to maximize the potential
of interdisciplinary practice.


URBAN DRIFT is ....// a hybrid urban praxis, opening up and communicating
architecture to a wider audience // urban survival strategies // time-based
architecture,  temporary and ephemeral // urban transformation and the
reanimation of lost, forgotten, hidden city spaces // drift-inspired by
random movement // neon-inspired // trans-cultural collaboration // the city
as a medium // scavenging, remapping and resampling the city in light, sound
and text // urban nomadism // 24 hours nightwalking // the reinvention of
spaces // intervention // urban curating //  'cities need planners for the
next century, planners who are autonomous, able to grasp multiple aspects of
reality and refashion them as narratives, to link an increasingly
heterogeneous population in decision making processes' // working with the
city's second skin // fluid identities which are never fixed, communicating
a mobile, fluid urbanity /


Enjoy the drift....

XXERO est à la fois un environnement collaboratif de type MOO, et une 
plate-forme pour des rencontres et des événements live.
Elaboré par un réseau international de femmes associées à la liste de 
discussion Faces-http://www.faces-l.net, ce projet initialement pensé comme 
un outil de présentation et de communication pour participer à Ars 
Electronika, continue maintenant un développement en parallèle de Faces.
Les contenus de XXERO sont axés sur les nouvelles technologies, le 
cyber-féminisme, le langage puisqu'il s'agit d'un environnement utilisant 
du texte.
Les membres de Faces ont, dans le choix d'un nom pour le MOO XXERO - "la 
chose flottante" dans l'attente d'un nom - fait appel à une multitude 
d'images auxquelles une identification était possible, des formes 
organiques aux références digitales à la science fiction.
Cette discussion a reflété, et activé la question de ce que pourrait être 
le féminisme aujourd'hui et l'identité en général, une question explorée 
pendant la dernière décennie en conjonction avec les théories queer et 
souvent dans un rejet des catégories dichotomiques masculin/féminin.
Les différents aspects de XXERO permettent le log in log out, à cet espace, 
dans l'élaboration d'un discours et sa remise en question, celui d'un 
projet, d'un contexte, d'une sphère sociale.
Le MOO et les événements live sont parties intégrantes d'un tout. Xxero est 
un espace où s'élaborent des palaces de contenu, se rêvent des mondes et se 
construisent en collaboration un village fait de textes, en une dimension, 
qui s'ouvre sur un monde virtuel très concret.
Les événements live donnent lieu à des lectures, des workshops, une table 
au café, pendant lesquels l'information est partagée et discutée, en privé 
et en public. Complémentaires l'un de l'autre, le contenu et le media sont 
inextricablement tissés ensembles, partagés et échangés sur la place du 
marché là où nous vivons.

XXERO is both a collaborative, moo-based environment and a platform for 
real life meetings and events. Built up by an international network of 
women associated with Faces-http://www.faces-l.net, the project was 
conceived in a real life Faces meeting as a tool for participating in Ars 
Electronica, and continue now a developpement parallel to Faces.
XXERO contents are about new-technologies, cyber-feminism, and langage as 
the environment is a tex-based one.
Faces members, has, in the choice of a name for the MOO XXERO - the 
floatting thing waiting for a name - thought to a multitude of images from 
organic forms to digital references.
What kinds of images can women identify with today? The complexity of this 
question corresponds to the complexity of the larger question of "female 
identity" in general, a question that has exploded over the last decade in 
conjunction with queer theory and, in many cases, a rejection of the 
dichotomous categories of "female/male" altogether.
The different facets of xxero allow for the participants to log in and out 
of a vital discourse that they are creating as much as criticizing, one 
that is a project, a context, and a social sphere. The MOO and the real 
life events are integral parts of the whole - the MOO provides one realm 
where participants build up content palaces, dream worlds that imagine the 
best and worst of what technology has to offer. The real life events are 
lectures, workshops, a table in the cafe, where information is shared and 
discussed, in private and in public. Each half complements the other, the 
content and the medium are intricately woven together as they are shared 
and exchanged in a marketplace of our own.

For Immediate Release


NEW DOCUMENTARY PROFILES FOUR ARTISTS WHO USE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY TO 
CREATE INNOVATIVE ARTWORK

Akron, Ohio-June 4, 2002- Media artist Seth Thompson recently 
completed the documentary Evolving Traditions: Artists Working in New 
Media. The hour-long documentary focuses on four internationally 
recognized artists and how their work has evolved from traditional 
disciplines into the form now coined "New Media."

Featured in the documentary are artists Mark Amerika, Tennessee Rice 
Dixon, Toni Dove and Troika Ranch. Ranging in such diverse artistic 
backgrounds as painting, dance, music, bookmaking and writing, these 
artists have incorporated current computer technology into their work 
to enhance their artistic visions.

"The documentary serves two purposes," said Thompson. "One, to show 
people how artists are incorporating computer technology into their 
work with new and innovative ideas. Two, to serve as an historical 
document, so that in the future people can look back to the beginning 
of the 21st century and see what some of the leaders in this movement 
were thinking at the earliest stages of this developing new art form."

Don Freeman, director of programming at PBS Channels 45/49, said, 
"The evolving interaction between artists and computer/video 
technology is an area that hasn't been explored often in traditional 
television terms.  Thompson's documentary will significantly 
contribute to a wider understanding of this field."

Evolving Traditions: Artists Working New Media was supported in part 
by generous grants and contributions from the Ohio Arts Council, the 
Wexner Center Media Arts Program at The Ohio State University, Media 
100 Inc., and The University of Akron (Myer's Faculty Grant).

The documentary is currently distributed by Wigged Productions and is 
available for $29.95 (includes S/H) at 
http://www.wigged.net/evolvingtraditions/ .

Subject: CITY STATE : flow/capture/control/rupture

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE

call for contributors : call for contributors : call for contributors :  

The CITY : STATE  Network and Surveillance Unit of the UTS Community 
Law & Legal Research Centre are compiling a reader of critical materials
on/around surveillance to coincide with the upcoming conference: 

CITY STATE : flow / capture / control / rupture
- - a critical forum on surveillance and social control -
July 20 2002 : Horti Hall, Melbourne

The CITY STATE reader is an attempt to go beyond the continual silence 
of governments, industry and conservative privacy organisations by 
mapping the different ways surveillance is reconfiguring social space, 
power and the ways that we live, and tracing critical paths of 
understanding and response.

The only real restriction on contributions at this stage is that they be:
* brief (500 - 2000w)
* sent to us by 10th June 2002 
* critical - i.e., providing new (beyond privacy) insights into how
surveillance works/is used in informatic environments. 

Academic/Artistic/Activistic creations and reflections that are
surveillance related are all welcome.

For more info about the CITY STATE : flow/capture/control/rupture
conference and reader - or to send contributions - write to:

Subject: Il linguaggio dei nuovi media



HelpPresentazione del libro:
Luca Toschi (a cura di), "Il linguaggio dei nuovi media", Milano - Apogeo -
2001. Pagine LXIII + 349 - Contiene CD-ROM - Euro 25,31. 

Incontro con gli autori: 
Luca Toschi, Tommaso Tozzi, Alessandra Anichini, Giorgio Cognini, 
Cristian Contini, Lelio Camilleri, Pierangelo Bonazzoli, Barbara Gualtieri. 

Conduzione Raffaele Palumbo di Controradio.
 
domenica 2 giugno 
ore 21:00 
Al Parterre, in Piazza della Liberta' (Firenze) 


 
 
Verrà presentata una ricerca di una equipe di studiosi diretta da Luca
Toschi sulla natura del linguaggio della comunicazione multimediale
(CRAIAT-Università di Firenze). Nell'attuale retorica neoidealistica sui 
contenuti, una domanda: Come elaborare efficacemente i contenuti se non si 
ha una conoscenza approfondita del linguaggio multimediale? "
Realizzare contenuti per i nuovi media (dai CD e DVD al Web) più che
all'attività tradizionale dello scrivere assomiglia alla progettazione e
realizzazione di uno spettacolo, con la possibile presenza contemporanea di
testi, immagini, animazioni, suoni, programmi che consentono
l'interattività. Non si ha più quindi l'autore singolo, ma una squadra di 
operatori, ognuno con professionalità diverse, i quali, sotto la guida di 
un supervisore, collaborano alla realizzazione di un progetto in equilibrio 
fra autonomia creativa e obiettivo comune. In modo analogo, il libro 
esplora le regole e le strategie di questo nuovo linguaggio composito con 
il contributo di autori diversi, che concorrono con le proprie conoscenze 
ad approfondire i molteplici aspetti della produzione multimediale.

v1.0 SOFTWARE

HF CRITICAL MASS is freely available software, which is based on a 1971 
film by Hollis Frampton titled "Critical Mass".

HF CRITICAL MASS adopts the structure of the earlier film as an interface 
for improvising playback of digital video (quicktime movies).

Mac and Windows versions for download at:

http://www.wildernesspuppets.net/hfcm/

=_ =_ =_ =_ =_ =_ =_=

The films of the late Hollis Frampton spanned the late 1960s through the 
early 1980s. His work, Critical Mass, is one of a series of films 
collectively titled "Hapax Legomena" that investigate "the specific 
conditions of cinematic representation and the limitations and paradoxes of 
visual description and narrative."  (description by Steve Polta - San 
Francisco Cinemateque, 2002)

Subject: Wigged.net: Fresh Ideas


WIGGED.NET  JUNE 2002 E-NEWSLETTER--VOL. 2 ISSUE 11

Wigged.net (http://www.wigged.net) is an evolving Webzine focused on 
bringing innovative short videos, animations and interactive works 
over the Internet.  Our mission is to be a showcase, distribution and 
promotion center for experimental artists via the World Wide Web. 
Wigged.net is for audiences seeking innovative alternatives to 
traditional forms of entertainment.

******************************************
NOW SHOWING

Check out featured artists in the new issue of Wigged.net:

Humberto Ramirez's HATE.
Ramirez writes, "This is a video in which the cultural dynamics of 
hatred are explored through a series of talking heads and monologues. 
The video seeks to denaturalize a condition in which the potential 
solidarity amongst different people is subverted by notions of 
nationalism, race, gender, class etc.
By problematizing what seems to remain hidden or at least unspoken 
this work seeks to provoke a conversation." United States. 2002.

Agricola de Cologne's Never Wake Up.
Based on the artist's poem of the same name.  The poem/movie uses 
some fundamental images: The "soldier" is metaphor for the human 
individual.  "War" is a metaphor for life, respectively the fights of 
everyday day life; and the "veteran of war" is the human being who 
cannot rid himself of the shadows of the past.  Never Wake Up 
addresses the loss of identity where the soldiers become distorted 
and veterans have difficulty with reintegration into post-war 
society. Germany. 2001.

Jimpunk's www.nowar.nogame.org.
Jimpunk ironically states that in his piece www.nowar.nogame.org, 
"everything is under control."  However get ready for a nerve-racking 
event.  At first you may think that your computer has been infected 
with a virus.  But don't worry, it's not.  Fasten your seatbelt as 
you embark on a mind-blowing journey that is a masterful mixture of 
image and sound.  Kudos to jimpunk! France. 2001.

Daniel Young's NewZoid.
NewZoid is a work of generative art. It plays with the most common 
information form of our time - the headline. NewZoid continuously 
collects the daily news, tears it apart, chops it up and endlessly 
reassembles the pieces into absurd, funny, shocking and 
thought-provoking headlines. The Site has been operating on its own 
since April 8, 2001. United States. 2001.

Dinorah de Jes=FAs Rodriguez & Gustavo Matamoros's L'Anatomie du D=E9sir. 
This assemblage of erotic images, found and damaged footage, and 
handcrafted 16mm film was originally projected onto the torso of 
Butoh artist Helena Thevenot as part of the one-hour collaborative 
piece "The Anatomy of Desire."  A tribute to biophysical impulses, 
the video version synchronizes the film to its original score by 
Gustavo Matamoros. United States. 2002.

Thomas Swiss and Seth Thompson's In the Woods.
In the Woods, a collaborative effort between Thom Swiss and Seth 
Thompson examines the ideas of memory, aging and loss.  The result of 
the collaboration suggests the way language (in this case a poem by 
Swiss) can be re-represented and changed by images (a film by 
Thompson). United States. 2002.
