FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ZeroOne to Celebrate Release of Geert Lovink=B9s Latest Book,
"Uncanny Networks: Dialogues with Virtual Intelligentsia"
ZeroOne: The Art and Technology Network, will host a booksigning and
celebration for the MIT Press release of Uncanny Networks: Dialogues with
Virtual Intelligentsia by Geert Lovink, 6 p.m., reception, 7 p.m.,
presentation, Monday, April 21, at IDEO, 831 High Street, in Palo Alto. Th=
e
evening is being co-presented by CADRE Laboratory for New Media at San Jose
State University, Leonardo/The International Society for the Sciences, Arts
and Technology, and IDEO.
According to Joel Slayton, professor of Digital Media and director of the
CADRE Institute at San Jose State University, the topics explored by Lovink
could have long-range impact on our evolving civilization, =B3There is no mor=
e
important issue than opening up the discourse on tactical strategies,
cultural laboratories and spaces of intervention that question how art,
politics, and economics are relational.=B2
In his new book, Uncanny Networks, Lovink, who is an Amsterdam-born media
theorist, net critic and activist, based in Brisbane, Australia, conducts a
series of online interviews with artists, critics, and theorists 3=8E4 those
who are intimately involved in building the content, interfaces, and
architectures of new media. He does this over a period of weeks and months=
,
and allows the participants to compose documents of depth and breadth,
rather than simply snapshots of timely references. Lovink approaches these
interviews as imaginative texts that can help create global, networked
dialogue.
The interviews collected in this book are with preeminent artists, critics,
and theorists who are intimately involved in building the content,
interfaces, and architectures of new media. The interviewees include: Mark
Dery, Kodwo Eshun, Bruno Latour, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Lev Manovich, and
Slavoj Zizek. The topics discussed include digital aesthetics, sound art,
navigating deep audio space, European media philosophy, the Internet in
Eastern Europe, the mixing of old and new in India, critical media studies
in the Asia-Pacific region, Japanese techno tribes, hybrid identities, the
storage of social movements, theory of the virtual class, virtual and urban
spaces, corporate takeover of the Internet, and cyberspace and the rise of
nongovernmental organizations.
=B3With this event, we are pleased to continue to showcase contemporary
thought on art and technology 3=8E4 thought that allows us to imagine new
possibilities. Lovink=B9s forward-thinking new work is a fascinating prophecy
to consider as the Internet continues to change our lives,=B2 said Andy
Cunningham, founder and chairman of ZeroOne.
According to artist, author and engineer, Ken Goldberg, a professor at the
University of California at Berkeley, Uncanny Networks presents original
thinking on media theory. =B3Lovink is quick to question the conventional
wisdom: the result is fresh and insightful, especially given the recent
changes in the landscape,=B2 Goldberg said.
Uncanny Networks will be available for sale, at a discounted price, at the
April 21 event. It is also available in bookstores or directly from MIT
Press for $27.95, or at a 30% discount (and benefit to Leonardo) through
Amazon at=20

- -- -- -- --
In recent years life has emerged as a concept of extraordinary scope,
reaching into a wide variety of fields. In the tradition of continental
philosophy, life as well as related concepts (virtuality, emergence,
multiplicity, etc.) opens up novel ways in which crucial ontological
problems can be addressed. In the social sciences, the concept of life has
begun to redefine critical disciplines such as cultural studies. In more
praxis-oriented fields such as management (complex adaptive systems), or
computing (a-life), life is increasingly established as a central paradigm.
Most visibly, though, it is the advances in the fields of biotechnology and
biomedicine that has led to the problematisation of life.
Clearly, the conceptual terrains covered by the different notions of life
diverge rather substantially. Life, it seems, does not always equal life. Or
does it ever?
In the context of this conference, life's (re-)emergence is strongly linked
to the comeback of Henri Bergson. His philosophy of life shall serve as
point of departure for the exploration of life¹s importance for mind,
individuality, and culture. It is our intention to provide a platform on
which connections can be drawn among heterogeneous approaches to life. In
doing this, we hope to be able to create a temporal life-machine that can be
employed to explore new approaches to philosophy, culture and politics.
Attendance is free, but please reserve seats in advance. For reservations,

Ok, my interview with Slavoj Zizek is in the can, and will run on my
show this Thursday, 5-6 PM NYC time, WBAI 99.5 FM NYC and on the web
at <http://www.wbai.org>. He talks in this interview about the war on
Iraq, just what's different about the Bush version of American
imperialism, the role of fantasy in politics (e.g., the entirely
false but widely popular belief that Saddam was behind 9/11), and a
million other things in an interview that will take up the entire
show.

Subject: Interview with Sadie Plant
The following interview with Sadie Plant, conducted by Chris Land, has
just appeared in 'ephemera: critical dialogues on organization'
(www.ephemeraweb.org)
Mobile Mutations
By Sadie Plant and Chris Land
Abstract:
Between May 2002 and March 2003, Chris Land conducted an email
conversation with Sadie Plant, in which they discussed topics ranging
from life and work outside the institutions of academia to the future of
the human species. Along the way, this virtual conversation ranges
across neuro-pharmacology, the Situationiste Internationale, mobile
telephony and the characterisation of the current global situation by a
paradoxical conjunction of increasing mobility and tightly policed
immobility. Through a series of engagements the general question is
posed as to whether mobility itself is an increasingly fundamental arena
for the contemporary exercise of power and what this conception of
mobility might mean in an age of pervasive information technologies.
Where mobility and communication are increasingly intertwined both
issues need to be increasingly interrogated in relation to the
transformations or mutations that they perform.

switch.sjsu.edu Volume 18: Software as Cultural Production
Only recently have critics, theorists and artists begun to address the
implications of interface outside the protological simplicities of human
machine interaction. The CADRE Laboratory for New Media is pleased to
announce SWITCH Volume 18 Interface: Software as Cultural Production.
Volume 18 features discussion transcripts from this years CADRE
Invitational. The CADRE Invitational represents a yearlong series of
discussions with renowned artists, theorists, curators and scientist. Topics
include social and cultural inequality, the emergence of the virtual class,
the economy of attention, the role of entrepreneurialism, tactical and
network protocols, distributed control, authority, surveillance, cooperation
models and cultural imperialism. Participants include Jan Hauser, Marisa
Olson, Peter Lunenfeld, Maggie Morse and Douglas Englebart.
We are also pleased to present the first English translation of Pierre Levy'
s The Collective Intelligence Game along with a description of his research
at the University of Ottawa.
Software as Cultural Production includes interviews with Oliver Grau, author
of Virtual Art; Stelarc; and Time O'Reilly. Also featured are essays by
Margaret Morse, The Poetics of Interactivity, Low Tech/High Concept by Jenny
Hager and Slipping the Interface by Jennifer Henderson. Michael Chernobrod
offers a review of Resfest 2002. Also included in this volume is a
curatorial project by John Bruneau and Michael Chernobrod entitled Digital
Insights presenting the work of CADRE OpenGl projects exploring information
mapping.
SWITCH is the new media art journal of the CADRE Laboratory for New Media of
the School of Art and Design at San Jose State University. It has been
published on the Web since 1995. We are interested in fostering a critical
viewpoint on issues and developments in the multiple crossovers between art
and technology. Our main focus is on questioning and analyzing as well as
reporting and discussing these new art forms as they develop, in hopes of
encouraging dialogue and possible collaboration with others who are working
and considering similar issues.
SWITCH aims to critically evaluate developments in art and technology in
order to contribute to the formation of alternative viewpoints with the
intention of expanding the arena in which new art and technology emerge.
Switch is produced by graduate students of the CADRE Laboratory for New
Media at San Jose State University. First published in 1995. Archives
available on-line.

Subject: Frontline(s)
The following paper, a collection of images of the war in Iraq and the
movement of resistance against it, has just appeared in 'ephemera:
critical diaolgues on organization' (www.ephemeraweb.org)
Frontline(s)
By Sian Sullivan
Abstract:
The challenge of theorising and analysing socio-political phenomena can
feel overwhelming given today's somewhat threatening realpolitik (9/11,
US-led wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and now, perhaps, Syria) and the rapid
pace with which (dis)information is received, digested and discarded.
Through an act of 'literary montage' construction, and prefaced by some
interpretation of my own, I offer this 'exhibit' as an attempt to
highlight this sense of dislocation whilst simultaneously 'building a
picture'. A specific concern is to problematise the notion of 'the
frontline'. Given blatant military and economic imperialism by the US,
underscored by the construction and fetishising of the rational subject
under modernity and the social democratic state, I suggest that
frontlines are located in any public or private space where the
legitimacy of these interests and categories is questioned. Expressions
of difference, including peace activism, thus become "proliferating
illegitimacies" and are policed as such. Against this context, the
texts positioned here tell of growing realisation and fear of the
coldness and instrumentalism at the heart of empire-building, of which
both the horrific violence currently inflicted on Iraqi people, and the
discounting and suppression of dissent to war worldwide, are part. For a
global anti-capitalist/pro-justice movement that recognises trade in
arms as a core constraint on human potential, reaching beyond this fear
- - retaining the hope of the 'politics of possibility' with which this
'movement of movements' has come to be identified - emerges as a latent
and essential challenge.

> 1. The Artlaw Archive
> Artquest is pleased to announce that Artlaw, a regular feature in Art
> Monthly magazine since 1976, will be available on the Artquest website at
> www.artquest.org.uk/artlaw from 27 May 2003. To bookmark this page for
> future use go to http://www.artquest.org.uk/artlaw/
>
> This important historical archive will be free to view and search online and
> covers over 25 years of art related topics such as contracts, copyright,
> droit de suite, freedom of expression, moral rights and patronage.
>
> Artquest has recently been gifted this significant archive by art law
> barrister Henry Lydiate. Henry has written the Artlaw page in Art Monthly
> magazine since 1976. This archive, comprising about 250,000 words, will
> reside in a new area of the Artquest website entitled The ARTLAW archive.
> Artquest has also commissioned 15 new introductions for the archive.
>
> This is a significant historical document and research tool for artists,
> craftspeople, curators and other visual arts professionals. The Artlaw
> archive adds value to Artquest’s programme in many ways, not least providing
> visual artists and craftspeople the opportunity to research and develop
> their practice and professional standing in the UK and beyond through a
> significant and comprehensive archival source.
>
> This project is financially supported by The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
> and Arts Council England. The project is also supported by Art Monthly
> magazine.
>
> Biography
> Barrister Henry Lydiate is a recognised and respected legal expert in the
> contemporary art world. He continues to give pro bono advice to artists and
> lectures on art law issues worldwide in addition to continuing his work in
> the judiciary. Henry was also a founding member of Artlaw Services, a not
> for profit company established in 1978. It provided specialist legal advice
> and help on artlaw matters, an educational programme and a publications
> programme until 1983. A small team of full-time legal staff were supported
> by around 30 lawyers who gave their services pro bono through the Artlaw
> Clinic of Volunteer Lawyers. This service emerged out of the Artlaw Research
> Project, chiefly funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and partly by
> the Arts Council of Great Britain (now ACE), the current funding partners
> for the new archive.
>
>
> 2. Critical Directions 4
> Following a period of review, Artquest is pleased to announce the
> continuation of our Critical Directions programme. Critical Directions is a
> professional development and one to one opportunity for London-based visual
> artists and craftspeople, now offered over a three-month period. The
> programme includes a group seminar, followed by two one to one studio visits
> with an artists advisor and curator.
>
> The aims of this programme include enabling artists to:
>
> Explore, discuss and gain feedback on their practice with their peers
> Analyse personal and professional skills and identify their needs and
> resources Create a strategic plan of action appropriate to achieving their
> objectives
>
> Following our previous round, for recent graduates, this opportunity is open
> to emerging artists (3-10 years practising) and mid career artists (10 years
> + practising) only. Seminars will be taking place in May and June
> respectively.
>
> Application deadlines:

> 2003, 7 - 9:30 pm
>
> Following our recent gallery talk with Fred Mann from Rhodes + Mann gallery,
> Artquest is pleased to announce a forthcoming seminar, as part of a series,
> with two of Britain's emerging artists/curators.
>
> Artists are increasingly finding new ways of creating opportunities for
> themselves, and are taking on multiple roles. The combination of practising
> as an artist and working as a curator presents an opportunity to discuss the
> nature of artistic practise, the gallery sector and the use of artists
> skills and services. Andrew Bick and Gordon Cheung are two artists/curators
> who will shed some light on their modes of operation and discuss their own
> practices, methods and career histories. For Biographies of Andrew, Gordon
> and Kathy, go to http://www.artquest.org.uk/training.html

This Easter will see the Baxter 2003 border camp come into being. Three
thousand people are expected to converge on the detention centre located near
the small South Australian town of Port Augusta.
As a part of this years camp there will be a radio project called Radio Free
Baxter. This project will be broadcasting a programin the immediate area of the
detention centre. It will also be taking in-coming calls from the centre - the
aim is to establish two-way communication with the people imprisoned in the
detention centre.
Indymedia will be out at the border camp this year as well, providing self-
publishing facilities for the camp.
The Radio Free Baxter website will be maintained with audio transcripts from
the broadcasts, and indymedia will be providing coverage of the news and action

Subject: "debates&Credits. Meda Art in the Public Domain": web journal of the project
Dear friends and colleagues,
We've just launched bilingual web journal of the Dutch-Russian art project
"debates & Credits. Media Art in the Public Domain" .
Please find the announcement below.
Greetings,
Tania Goryucheva
- ---------------------------
debates & Credits
Media Art in the Public Domain
A Dutch Russian Media/Art/Project
OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF WEB JOURNAL / ARCHIVE
In the period September - October 2002 a series of artist
interventions into urban space and the space of the media were
executed in Amsterdam, Moscow and Ekaterinburg, as part of the art
project "debates & Credits - Media Art in the Public Domain". Four
Russian artists or art collectives and four artists / collectives
from The Netherlands were invited to design various kinds of
interventionist media art projects for the public urban space as well
as the public media spaces within these cities. The aim was to
question the conditions of public communication and the politics of
urban and media space.
The results of these often unannounced actions were carefully
documented. The first part of this documentation, the web journal or
archive, is now finished and can be found on-line at:
http://www.debates.nl
The journal contains curatorial statements, reports, extensive
photographic documentation and a series of video impressions linked
to the individual reports. The journal also contains a number of
essays and related documents that provide further background
information to the ideas behind the project, as well as the work of
the artists involved.
We are currently preparing a book and a DVD about the project, which
will be presented publicly at De Balie, Centre for Culture and
Politics in Amsterdam on Friday June 7, 2003. The book and DVD will
then be available from De Balie.
Please feel free send us your questions or comments about the project.
Curators:

and Politics in Amsterdam, in collaboration with Tania Goryucheva,
the Ekaterinburg Branch of the National Center for Contemporary Arts
(NCCA), the Zverev Center for Contemporary Art, the Agency for Social
Information,

The project was financially supported by the Mondriaan Foundation
