The event is meant to present to the Italian public some creative projects that critically experiment on contemporary digital technologies and communication styles. Invited guests' works range on themes like data control and diffusion on the Internet, modified videogames, computer virus culture and its extension to digital communication at large, and finally free software as a public domain tool. The projects presented at digital-is-not-analog.2002 show that digital technology can be a way of originally influence media landscape and represent - both culturally and economically - a sustainable alternative to empty hi-tech gadgets, mere spectacle and the exorbitant budget of global tech-entertainment industry.

Du 9 au 15 décembre prochain, une semaine d'ateliers, démos, rencontres, débats, autour des réseaux, de la communication, du logiciel libre et de la résistance électronique. Une semaine où l'on parlera de technique, de politique, de désirs, de créations, de mouvements... Après la rencontre européenne de décembre 2000 (zeligConf), et la rencontre hexagonale de février 2001 (no-zelig), nous souhaitons de nouveau ouvrir un laboratoire temporaire de communication, un espace-temps de circulation des savoirs et des savoirs faire, une zone autonome où puissent converger et se combiner les cultures de l'activisme et celle du hack, les pratiques de contre-information et le génie productif du logiciel libre, la créativité des acteurs des mouvements sociaux et celle des diverses communautés des réseaux. Cette fois encore nous voulons donc faire le pari du mixage des expériences, de l'hybridation des identités, de la transversalité des réflexions et des pratiques. Nous voulons faire le pari de la coopération productive entre les réalités multiples de la contestation et de l'innovation sociales qui agissent dans les replis du réel. La zelig.rc2 s'articulera autour d'un ensemble de thèmes, qui donneront lieu tant à des ateliers pratiques et présentations, que des rencontres, conférences et débats. Une diversité de formes qui, nous l'espérons, permettra de combiner approche technique et approche politique de l'ensemble des questions abordées. - Résistance électronique : protection des données personnelles, confidentialité des échanges via l'Internet, sécurisation d'ordinateurs, désobéissances à la surveillance généralisée, charte du « travailleur numérique ». - Cyberfeminism is an attitude : genre et technologie, identité et machine. Théories et pratiques de ces badgirls qui aiment les machines et jouent avec l'identité - Communication alternative : les outils (publication sur le web, mailing lists), les expériences (sindominio, collectifs.net, samizdat.net, Indymedia, etc.), la confrontation au pouvoir médiatique, la coopération au niveau européen. Entre les mailles de ces thématiques, seront aussi ouverts divers chantiers. En particulier : logiciel libre pour les enfants et l'éducation, ressources pour les réseaux associatifs (firewall, démocratie interne), communication sans-fils (WiFi), outils logiciels pour la contestation électronique (Reamweaver), etc. Enfin, la zelig.rc2 sera l'occasion de présenter un certains nombre d'initiatives et de projets : no-log (services de connexions non-loguées), l'Autre net (hébergement alternatif), AlternC (kit logiciel pour l'hébergement de sites web), Plug'n'Politix (initiative), Glastnost (Intranet pour association), Libre entreprise, Fédération informatique et liberté, hacklabs (Italie, Espagne)... Avec ce melting pot de prétextes pour se voir et de s'émouvoir, nous entendons rappeler ce bon vieux principe hacker : l'information veut être libre. Elle ne le doit pas, sur le mode d'une injonction impuissante, elle le veut, parce que l'enjeu politique est celui de notre liberté de circuler, de penser, de coder, de parler, d'aimer, de créer, d'innover. L'information veut être libre, parce qu'elle ne peut être soumise ni aux diktats marchands, ni aux injonctions policières. Paris le 3 octobre 2002 >> contact@zelig.org >> http://www.zelig.org [ca] z e l i g . r c 2 9-15/12/02 /PARIS /FRANCE - - - - - - - - - zelig.rc2 - La información quiere ser libre ========================================== Qué es la « zelig.rc2 » ? Del 9 al 15 de diciembre 2002, una semana de talleres, demonstraciones, encuentros, debates alrededor de redes, comunicaciones, logiciel libre y la resistencia electrónica. Una semana en la cual se hablará de técnica, de política, de deseos, de creaciones, de movimientosŠ. Después del encuentro europeo de diciembre 2000 (zeligConf) y del encuentro hexagonal de febreo 2001 (no-zelig), se trata hoy de abrir un laboratorio temporal de comunicación, un espacio-tiempo de circulación de los saberes y de las técnicas, una zona autónoma donde puedan encontrarse e intercambiar culturas del activismo y del « hack », dandole lugar a las prácticas de contra-información y al genio productivo del logiciel libre, a la creatividad de los actores de movimientos sociales y a las diversas comunidades des redes. Hoy el desafío consiste en el intercambio de experiencias, de identidades, en el cruce de reflexiones y de practicas. Este desafío abarca la cooperación productiva entre las realidades multiples de la contestación y las innovaciones sociales que actuan en los piegles de lo real. La zelig.rc2 se articulará en torno a un conjunto de temas que darán lugar a talleres prácticos y presentaciones, encuentros, conferencias y debates. Una diversidad de formas que - así lo esperamos - permitirá confrontar enfoques técnicos y enfoques políticos examinando el conjunto de la cuestiones planteadas. - Resistencia electronica ; protección de datos personales, confidencialidad de intercambios via Internet, seguridad de los computadores, desobediencia a la vigilancia generalizada, carta del "trabajador numérico". - Cyberfeminism is an attitude : género y tecnología, identidad y máquina. Teoría y prácticas de esas "badgirls" que gustan de las máquinas y juegan con la identidad. - Comunicación alternativa : los instrumentos (publicación en el web, mailing-lists), las experiencas (sindominio, collectifs.net, samizdat.net, Indymedia, etc.), la confrontación al poder mediático, la cooperación a nivel europeo. Estas tematicas darán espacio igualmente a otros campos de estudios. En especial : logiciel libre para niños y educación ; ingresos para las redes associativas (firewall, democracia interna), communicación sin hilos (WiFi) ; ilogiciels para la contestación électronica (Reamweaver), etc. Por último, la zelig.rc2 es una ocasión para dar cuena de iniciativas y proyectos tales como no-log (servicios de connexiones sin logos), l'Autre net (albergue alternativo), AlternC (kit logiciel para albergue de sitios web), Plug'n'Politix (iniciativa), Glastnost (Intranet para asociación), Libre empresa, Federación informática y libertad, hacklabs (Italia, España)... Con este melting pot de prétextos para vernos y conmovernos, pretendemos recordar el viejo principio hacker : la informacion quiere ser libre. No debe serlo por acatamiento a una orden. Su objetivo politíco es obrar en función de la libertad de circular, de pensar, de codificar, pero también de hablar, amar, crear, innovar. La informacion quiere ser libre porque no puede ser sometida a los diktats mercantiles, tampoco a las ordenes policiales. París 3 de octubre 20 >> contact@zelig.org >> http://www.zelig.org [it] z e l i g . r c 2 9-15/12/02 /PARIS /FRANCE - - - - - - - - - zelig.rc2 - Information wants to be free ========================================== What is zelig.rc2 ? On December 9th-15th, a week of workshops, demonstration, encounters, debates, on networks, communication, free software and electronic resistance. A week during which people will talk about technics, politics, desires, creations, movements... After the european meeting of December 2000 (zeligConf), and the hexagonal meeting of February 2001 (no-zelig), we again want to open a temporary communication laboratory, a space-time of knowledge and skills, an autonomous zone where could converge and combine cultures of hack and activism, practises of counter-information and productive spirit of free software, creativity of social movements and networks community. So, this time again we want to bet on mixing experiences, on hybridation of identities, on transversality of thoughts and practises. We want to bet on productive cooperation between multiple realities of contest and social innovation acting up in the folds of Reality. zelig.rc2 will articulate auround several themes, which will lead to practical workshops and presentations, so as to encounters, conferences and debates. A diversity of forms which we hope will allow to combine technical an political approaches of all questions tackled. - Electronic resistance : personal data protection, confidentionnality of exchanges via Internet, computer securisation, disobedience to general invigilation, "digital worker" charter. - Cyberfeminism is an attitude : gender and technology, indentity and machine. Theories and practises of those badgirls who love machines and play with identity. - Alternative communication : tools (webposting, mailing lists), experiences (sindominio, collectifs.net, samizdat.net, Indymedia, etc.), confronting the media power, cooperation at an european level. In the stitches of this thematic net, will also be open several works. Specifically : free software for kids and education, ressources for associative networks (firewall, inner democracy), wireless communication (WiFi), electronic contest software (Reamweaver), etc. At last, zelig.rc2 will be the occasion to present certain initiatives and projects : no-log (non-logged connection services), l'Autre net (alternative provider), AlternC (software kit for websites hosting), Plug'n'Politix (political initiative), Glasnost (Intranet fot associations), Libre entreprise, Fédération informatique et liberté, hacklabs (Italy, Spain)... With this melting pot of good reasons to meet and meet again, we intend to call back this good old hacker principle : Information wants to be free. It must not, as an impotent injunction, it wants, as the political stake is our freedom to move, think, code, talk, love, create, innovate. Information wants to break free, because it cannot be submitted to commercial diktats nor police injunctions.

Doom! Sims! At Walker Art Center Quake! Doom! Sims! http://www.walkerart.org/gallery9/qds/ Transforming Play: Family Albums and Monster Movies Guest Curator: Katie Salen Screened at the Walker Art Center, October 19, 2002 Online at: http://www.walkerart.org/gallery9/qds/ part of Dig.it 2 The Second Annual Festival of Digital Media http://www.walkerart.org/calendar/0210/ Featuring: "Scourge Done Slick" Quake done Quick "Da L33t Faust" Jan-Philipp Reining "Ranger Gone Bad II: Assault On Gloom Keep" United Ranger Films "Blahbalicious" Mackey "Avatar" McCandlish and Brian "Wendigo" Hess "Devil's Covenant" Clan Phantasm "Apartment Huntin'" "Hardly Workin'" ILL Clan "Father Frags Best" Phil Rice aka Overman "Anachronox" Jake S. Hughes/Ion Storm "Rendezvous" Peter Rasmussen "Matrix: 4 x 1" Strange Company/Hugh Hancock "Fake Science" Dead on Que "Stomp" "Thin Ice" "Smart Gun" Mike Beery >From Transforming Play: Family Albums and Monster Movies by guest curator Katie Salen: "In March 2001 at the ICA in London, musician Brian Eno gave a lecture linking his compositional process to John Conway's game of "Life". The game of "Life", like Eno's generative music, creates unexpected patterns of events out of a very simple rule system. In his discussion, Eno identified the difficulty of writing the rules of a system: "How do you create the conditions at the bottom to allow the growth of the things you want to happen?" Eno's question not only highlights the challenge of designing emergent systems but also points to a phenomenon known as transformative play. Because the creators of emergent systems, like generative music or games, can never fully anticipate how the rules will play out, they are limited to the design of the formal structures that go on to produce patterns of events. Sometimes the forms of play that emerge from these structures overwhelm and transform, generating rich and resistant outcomes. Sometimes, in fact, the force of play is so powerful that it can change the rule structure itself. A playful slang term can become an idiom, for example, and may eventually be adopted into a dictionary, becoming part of the larger cultural structures, which it originally playfully opposed. In the case of digital games, transformative play emerges from the interaction between inventive players and the games they play, like Quake, Doom, or The Sims. Transformative play occurs when the free movement of play alters the more rigid rule structure in which it takes shape. The play doesn't just occupy the interstices of the system, but actually transforms the space as a whole. A cyberfeminist game patch that creates transsexual versions of Lara Croft is an example of transformative play, as is the use of the Quake game engine as a movie-making tool. It would make sense, then, to consider transformative play as a powerful creative strategy within digital culture."

Netzwerke> media conference <9.11. NETZWERKE> A media conference in an intermedial and multimedia ambience: talks, discussions, installation, performances, Gunafa Clubbing. A project by Kuenstlerhaus Mousonturm, curated by Station Rose. http://www.stationrose.com/netzwerke.html Sat. 9.11.2002 2 a.m. - 2 p.m. Kuenstlerhaus Mousonturm, Waldschmidtstrasse 4, D-60316 Frankfurt * Concept. The failure of the dotcoms and the ebbing of the internet hype are no longer anything new. Net.art wants to find its way into the art fairs, galleries and museums and there is scarcely still a DJ today who would dare go on stage without the support of a VJ. Retro seems to be the answer of industry, the mass media and the culture industry. But retro has never been the answer. The clear, stringent development away from the old laws of tendency to a new plane such as from cinema to virtual spaces, from the CD to CD-ROM and DVD, from interactive art to net art which was hoped for in the nineties can no longer be discerned at the moment. It is a matter rather of the repeatedly retroesque attempts to put old contents into new packaging and new forms of expression into old environments. Does retro thus mean a permanent threat, standstill? Which networks exist in the context of art/music/net which act and do not merely react? At this one-day conference, the possibility of a new stocktaking is to be created, an interdisciplinary overview won, and artistic and theoretical drafts presented and discussed. * Themes. Net.art and web.art, webcasting, networking, pop, mobile computing, audio-visual performances, net criticism, viability, media and system theory, youth culture versus silver kids, retroesque versus recycling, etc. * Speakers & Performers: Malcolm McLaren (producer, artist, London) Station Rose/Elisa Rose & Gary Danner (hypermedia artists, Frankfurt) John Coate (The WELL, EFF) Dr. Richard Barbrook (ICA/cybersalon London) F.E Rakuschan (media-theorist, Vienna) Dr. Thomas Feuerstein (mediartist & -theorist, Vienna) Prof. Ralf Homann (Bauhausuniversity Weimar, Experimental Radio) pingfm.org (Multimedia Band, Bauhausuniversity Weimar) Bizz_Circuits (Frankfurt) DFM.nu (Amsterdam) Bidner/Martinek (Innsbruck) n0name.de (Kassel/Berlin) * Installation <Elektronic Habitat>. STR will construct a media lobby which offers the possibility of immersive submerging, of excitement and relaxation, to surf and navigate. It is an electronic habitat inviting to meet, hang out, gather information and relax. Immaterial visuals and sounds flow together with the materialized set-up of the installation. Visual samples and distillates from the flow of the evening´s audiovisual STR-performance merge with the materialized set-up of the installation. It is a living space which will exist for one day. It is supposed to assist those attending to actually stay the distance of the marathon since the symposium will start at 2p.m. and finish around two or three in the morning. Projectors and monitors and also exhibition objects made of specially printed materials will be used. A P.A. system will fill the space. The art is digital and fluid, the surroundings are material, created by high-tech means of production. It entices with the softness of the materials. Modular units define the installation. Art objects, individual pieces, created by STR especially for the conference, will be put on the art market afterwards. * Webcasting. STR will set up a STReaming studio on location to follow the conference (2:00pm - 2:00am) in realtime at www.stationrose.com. Live-streams from pingfm.org, Bauhausuniversity Weimar, DFM.nu, Amsterdam, as well as a charming LivemusicSTReam from Innsbruck among others can be experienced at the Media-Lobby throughout the congress. * Gunafa Clubbing (on from 11pm) Gunafa Clubbing, started in 1989 by Station Rose, was the first performance-concept worldwide, combining club culture and audio-visual live-performance with an online connection. "Europe´s most unusual club" (London Sunday Times, 26.9.1993) will again include Station Rose live. Incoming live webcasts will be morphed into the evening. Special live guest: Bizz_Circuits * Media-partner: hr Late Lounge. Supported by Fonds Soziokultur. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 09:26:42 +1000 From: "geert lovink" <geert@xs4all.nl> Subject: Fibreculture public debate & meeting, Sydney, November 22-24 PRESS RELEASE -- SYDNEY October 24 2002 Fibreculture presents: "Networks of Excellence" A National Forum on Information and Communication Technologies When: Friday, November 22: Screening and Public Forum Saturday and Sunday, 23rd and 24th: Conference Where: Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Registration: Fibreculture website - http://www.fibreculture.org. ___ Friday, November 22 Public forum features key figures in new media policy, research and the arts.

Online: http://www.artfutura.org/expo_lared_e.html Web as Canvas is a show of ten projects, which offer different ways to paint with the code and establish clear bonds with the great movements of modern art. All the projects are representative of the new creative tendencies in Internet and are directly linked to the topic of this year festival: ³stretched painting². Nine of these are already existing projects and one of them, World Wall Painters, by the collective Area3 from Barcelona has been specially made for Art Futura 2002. It is an application for the Carnivore Project by RSG Radical Software Group, based on the software of the same name developed by the FBI to "wire tap" Internet data. The Carnivore spies on data packages and offers artists these packages to be reinterpreted in a creative way, turning thus the own computer code into a work of art. In World Wall Painters, an instrument of repression and control such as the Carnivore becomes a dispenser of realistic paintings. Using the same irony of Jasper Johns' flag, Area3's World Wall Painters paint constantly the flags of the countries of those webs keyed by the users. The result is a collage that points out the democratic utopia in the Internet and the current reality of the access to information and new technologies.

The project, awarded in Ars Electronica 2002, has counted with the involvement of important names in the international digital art scene. Cory Arcangel, RSG member, will put forward the project's philosophy while collective from Barcelona Area3 will present World Wall Painters, their contribution to Carnivore.

The range of entries includes analogue and digital video, film and computer animation, interactive projects and internet-based works, whereby the focus is not so much on the carrier-media as on the media-specific strategies and narrative concepts. When handling new media we are being repeatedly confronted with ever new challenges worldwide. Radically new forms of communication between people and apparatus are becoming established and new knowledge models and networks are giving rise to alternative forms of social action. VIPER Basel 2002 addresses these highly controversial issues under the motto public | private. The debate will concentrate on the tension between individual and collective integration into the computer-supported structures of contemporary societies. VIPER raises the critical question of the innovative potential and the aesthetic and political impact of the new media. For where technologies aim to be innovative and art seeks a position, parameters such as perception, individual and society, presentation and communication are being fundamentally questioned. Locations: Festival Center Theater Basel, Stadtkino Basel, Kultkino Camera info@viper.ch, http://www.viper.ch We are looking forward to welcome you at the Festival!

Sie spielt mit dem Sehen und Gesehen werden, dem Beobachten und Beobachtet werden. Oliver van den Berg, Andreas Gehlen/Alexandra Müller und Désirée Palmen setzen sich mit Situationen in Köln auseinander, die sie vorgefunden und konzeptuell bearbeitet haben. Ihre Arbeiten bewegen sich an der Schnittstelle zwischen dem Alltag und dem Versuch, aus ihm auszubrechen. Sie stellen alltägliche Strukturen und Abläufe in Frage, die aufgrund ihrer Regelmäßigkeit oft nicht mehr wahrgenommen werden. Sie kreisen auch um die Themen Intimität und Öffentlichkeit, den Wunsch der Menschen, im Großstadtdschungel für andere unsichtbar zu werden und sich dem öffentlichen, extrem aufgeladenen und schutzlosen Raum zu entziehen. Die Fotografien und Videos von Désirée Palmen zeigen Menschen, die sich mimikriartig an ihre jeweilige Umgebung anpassen. Die Personen tragen von der Künstlerin selbst genähte und für eine spezifische Situation bemalte Kleidung. Danach werden sie in dem entsprechenden Innen- oder Außenraum fotografiert bzw. gefilmt. Im Schnittraum wird ein Video und eine Fotografie zu sehen sein, die am Kölner Hbf entstanden sind und sich mit Obdachlosen und Touristen auseinandersetzt. Die Installationen von Andreas Gehlen und Alexandra Müller entstehen vor Ort und beziehen das Umfeld konkret mit ein. Verschiedene Materialien und Objekte werden zu raumgreifenden, strukturellen Arrangements, die mal chaotisch, mal eher minimalistisch anmuten und auch urbane oder mythologische Bezüge aufweisen. Im Schnittraum entsteht eine neue Raumsituation, die das Innen und Außen thematisiert. Oliver van den Berg arbeitet in seinem Video "Videobug-Köln" mit einer 360°-Kamera, die er auf seinem Autodach montiert hat. In Köln ist er die Strecke eines Sightseeingbusses abgefahren und hat damit Menschen und Objekte beobachtet. Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog. +++++++++ Ankündigung: Werkgespräche in der Reihe TONIGHT 2: Mittwoch, 30. Oktober 2002, 20 Uhr Désirée Palmen (Rotterdam) Mittwoch, 06.

Ziel ist es, ein Forum des Austausches zu schaffen, bei dem es neben der Auseinandersetzung mit unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Positionen vor allem darum geht, etwas über das Selbstverständnis der KünstlerInnen zu erfahren. Werkgespräche ermöglichen einen intensiven Diskurs, bei dem auch Aspekte wie persönliche Motivation, politische und soziale Hintergründe sowie unterschiedliche Arbeitsweisen und -bedingungen ins Blickfeld geraten. ++++++++++++++ Die Ausstellung "outofsight" wird unterstützt von: Stadtsparkasse Köln und Kulturamt der Stadt Köln Die Reihe TONIGHT wird unterstützt von: Stiftung Kumst und Kultur NRW Kulturstiftung, Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf ------------------------------ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
