jihui - Digital Salon presents
Kathleen Brandt + Brian Lonsway
Thursday, June 19, 2003 7 PM @
Parsons Center for New Design
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
New York, NY 10011
Live Webcast @ (http://agent.netart-init.org) starts 7pm EST.
The artists will explore the seemingly increasing craving for data in
our everyday lives and will present a series of projects that take this
craving as a critical starting point. The work of "brandway," their
artist organization, looks at the way in which the concept of data has
shifted from a primarily scientific necessity to a measure of social
existence. The artists argue that data is a concept inextricable from
the acts of collection, storage, and representation, and that its
existence in this social realm embodies the power structures of the
organizations performing these acts. As the scientific concept of data
has become increasingly significant in areas of society outside of the
scientific community -- mass-marketing, opinion polls, weather
predictions, environmental awareness -- it has become both a measure of
"truth" and a measure of the extents of political and social
manipulation. Brandway's artistic work looks creatively at these
ambiguous measures of data as a way of exploring its politics,
especially in areas where its "truth" is (or is intended to be) taken
for granted.
Prudent Avoidance, brandway's most recent project, was funded through
Franklin Furnace's THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2002 program, and looks at
data through the lens of electro-magnetic frequency exposure. Through an
evolving online database and wearable data collection device, the work
explores the contradictions of data collection, measurement, and
representation when used to measure things like "human risk." The
artists will talk about the development of this work, as well as other
projects that explore related issues in the creative representation of
data.
Artist Bios: Kathleen Brandt is an electronic media and installation
artist whose work engages the assumed relationships we have with
technology and technologically-mediated environments. Of her most recent
installations, Exclusion Zone documents the Chernobyl nuclear plant
explosion through the cultural and social representations of radioactive
exposure; Maximum Security explores the construction of the
maximum-security prisoner through the engineering of prison furnishings;
and Prudent Avoidance -- in conjunction with Brian Lonsway -- critically
examines the role that ‘scientific’ data plays in the construction of
environmental risk. Kathleen is also an instructor of video and
installation art and has taught at numerous universities, including
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, The State University of New York at
Albany, and Siena College.
Brian Lonsway is a cultural theorist, information technology researcher,
and architectural designer who studies the relationships between
advancing technologies and spatial design. He is director of the
Informatics and Architecture program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
in Troy, NY, and is a founding researcher in the Synthetic Space
Environment, a technologically mediated environment for embodied
tele-collaboration. He has published on various subjects, from the
political structure of spatial environments to the architectural
applications of computation. His current work includes the completion of
a book entitled Making Leisure Work: Architecture and the Entertainment
Economy, an in depth exploration of design practices in themed
environments; and the development of a series of essays on the
historical and contemporary relationship between design and
computational theory.
THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT is Franklin Furnace's artist residency
program, founded in 1998 when Franklin Furnace transformed itself from a
real to a virtual entity. Franklin Furnace offers artists an honorarium
and a residency to create "live art on the Internet" for a 2-4 month
duration at a physical or online venue appropriate to the artists' work.
THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2003 is made possible by grants from Jerome
Foundation, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
jihui (the meeting point), a self-regulated digital salon, invites all
interested people to send ideas for discussion/performance/etc. jihui is

"My Daily Constitution" in Cincinnati Ohio
JUNE 9 - 15 '03
Seven days
Nine locations in and around Cincinnati
Nine discussions about the US Constitution
* free and open to the public *
Information Line: (513) 557-7315
>From 9 - 15 June, Linda Pollack will hold "My Daily Constitution:" a series
of discussions about the US Constitution led by lawyers, academics,
activists, and others.
Discussions take place at various locations (a cafe, theatre, library,
restaurant, exhibition space, lounge) in and around Cincinnati. Free copies
of the US Constitution, printed by Pollack in an edition of 5,000, will be
available at discussion locations.
"The idea," says Pollack, an LA based artist, "is to break away from the
dynamics of the large lecture hall and create a space where individual
citizens can become active participants in a dialogue about our democracy.
The more I am involved with this project, the more I am realizing that our
Constitution, our democracy, is about interpretation - and interpretation
means a collective, active dialogue, not just passive consumers and
lawmaking producers." Prior to Cincinnati, Pollack held My Daily Constitution
in Los Angeles (May 2002), and New York City (February 2003).
My Daily Constitution - Cincinnati is made possible in part through the
generous support from the Arts Advocacy Project of the National Coalition
Against Censorship, and individual donors.

Censorship in Camouflage panel II: McDonalds or McDocumenta: Artistic Freedom in a Global Economy?
June 17, 7 PM
We are confronted by an unprecedented wave of cultural homogenization, yet once marginalized, non-Western art is more visible than ever. The situation is further complicated by the re-emergence of religious fundamentalism and nationalism, as well as by new policies of cultural protectionism. In this clash of cultural and economic forces, does artistic freedom still matter and how has its meaning changed?
With: Stephen Duncombe, political activist and professor of media and culture, New York University; Deedee Halleck, media activist, founder of Deep Dish TV; Gara LaMarche, vice president and director of US programs for the Open Society Institute; Imre Szeman, acting director of the institute of globalization and the human condition, McMaster University, Canada.
Moderated by Svetlana Mintcheva, National Coalition Against Censorship.
New School University, 66 West 12th Street, room 510, New York City. Admission is $5.
Webcasts of the panels and online post-panel discussions will be available at www.dialnsa.edu.
For more information, please contact Svetlana Mintcheva at Svetlana@ncac.org or 212-807-6222 ext. 23 or go to www.ncac.org
The Censorship in Camouflage Project, a collaboration between the Arts Advocacy Project at the National Coalition Against Censorship, art critic and writer Robert Atkins, artist Antoni Muntadas, and the Vera List Center at the New School University, consists of a series of discussions and publications exploring structural, economic, political and cultural factors constraining artistic expression.

From: Steven Shaviro <shaviro@shaviro.com>
Subject: Peformance Video Symposium--call for papers/performances/etc
Call for Papers, Presenters, Developers, Performers,
Audience.
What: San Francisco Performance Video Symposium
When: 27 September 2003
Where: Dimension7, 150 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA
Who: Anyone can submit. Video artists, performance
artists, software developers, cultural and film
theorists are especially welcome.
Submissions are due 21 July 03.
The plan:
On 27 September, the Symposium will begin with a
series of speakers on ideas in performance video,
comcluding in a roundtable discussion. Following the
round table a series of performances would occur in
the Dimension7 video gallery. The evening will then
be capped off by a super-fun multimedia party!
Admission is technically free, but a donation might be
requested to help defray the costs of mounting this
Symposium, depending on the level of sponsorship
found.
Dimension 7 has more than adequate video projectors,
screens, and sound reinforcement.
The idea: Performative video: theory and practice
Recent innovations in computer software and
performance gains in hardware are now permitting the
development of a truly performative cinema. Thus far
three distinct camps seemed to have evolved over the
years: video light shows for dance clubs and raves and
the similar development of VJ culture on one end,
academic video art installations on the other end, and
a vast number of artists in between. This situation
bears some relation to what obtained in cinema in its
earliest years (nickelodeons, and all film was some
kind of an experiment, etc.) Significant theory wasn't
really developed until some 20 years into the history
of cinema with the early formative theories of the
19teens. Due to the dependence on rapidly changing
technology, contemporary video performance doesn't
have the luxury of 20 years to wait for theory to
'gel'. It's important that at this historic interstice
of music and video that Theory evolve along with the
emerging practice, and the practice develop its own
coherent theory. It is the purpose of this Symposium
to help that along at this historic juncture.
Discussions of the history of the form, the strengths
and shortcomings of the discipline, the challenges
ahead, the political implications and uses of, and the
trends within performance video - all of these need to
be discussed and brought into awareness.
All contents (papers, video, images, etc.) submitted
will be featured on a website dedicated to this
symposium after 27 September. The ideas need to get
out into the world as quickly as possible, so
performance video practitioners might acquire some new
common language, develop shared concerns, and create
useful theory in order to further the integrity and
coherence of this new practice in an age of digital
media convergence, and the near complete hegemony of
passive entertainment environments.
No honoraria are presently available ; this is an all
volunteer effort, so if you wish to present your ideas
in person, please be aware that the symposium can't
help you with any expenses. However, if present
efforts to find sponsorship are successful, and
funding is found, this may all change, and presenters
and contributors will certainly be notified.
Please note, for your pleasure: Late September is the
BEST time to be in San Francisco, and this event will
be a truly extraordinary moment in history.
What to submit:
Send a .txt, .rtf, or MS Word document of your paper /
lecture notes attached to email. The email you send
should include a short single paragraph bio, and let
me know if you wish to be considered for live
presentation of your paper at the Symposium. If you
have a lecture AND a performance to provide, please
submit the lecture as noted above and the performance
idea per following paragraph.
Please email it to:
henry (dot) warwick (at) sbcglobal (dot) net
Those who would like to be considered ONLY for
performance that evening should send a CDR w/ a short
QuickTime movie or a DVD-R demo of your work and a
document describing what you want to do. Please
include a brief bio, and your email address.
Please send disk and documents to:

|
| Negotiations is a space where we can face the
challenges of an open exchange about the most difficult issues
pertaining to the history and current conditions of the crisis in
Palestine-Israel. We believe this exchange to be crucial as we
witness a new phase in global colonization schemes, set fast on
further deprivation, disenfranchisement and displacement of
Indigenous peoples. The Palestinian Intifadas exemplify
counter-colonization movements. As such, they should compel us to
make our political and social interventions meaningful, sustainable
and visionary. This must be a collective effort, and no inclusive
collectivity can be built in the absence of imagination and
communication. Art, as a medium for both, is therefore essential to
any project of transformation.
The people and projects brought together in Negotiations offer
uniquely creative means through which art can trigger, facilitate and
channel social exchange. Negotiations is not meant to be merely
consumed. We have built into our programme of activities multiple
opportunities for participatory dialogue and work. We hope to see you
there as active co-labourers.

| MEETING GROUNDS | Public Forum
| Sunday June 22 | 3 - 6 pm
| Innis Town Hall | Free event
|
| This forum constitutes a moment to think through, substantiate and
enable the actualisation of new parameters for peace in
Palestine-Israel. The artist, curators and activists on this panel
will reflect on their own work in relation to the questions with
which we began our project. A just and viable peace requires a
commitment to co-labouring across divides. Our contention is that
such a co-labouring necessitates ethically responsible practices of
solidarity. We envision this moment as an opportunity to work through
these issues critically.

Subject: read_me 2.3 results
for immediate release
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Read_Me 2.3 software art festival RESULTS
47 projects selected and featured
Read_Me 2.3 Reader is published
http://www.m-cult.org/read_me/
http://www.m-cult.org/read_me/reader.php
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the year 2003, the Read_me festival (http://www.m-cult.org/read_me) was held for the second
time, and for the first time in Helsinki. A year has passed since the first Moscow 2002 edition
(http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me), and the festival has grown and germinated through
Runme.org (http://runme.org) - the online software art repository it is now based on.
The idea of Read_Me 2.3 is to test an alternative festival model, especially since the subject of
the festival is software art, a realm where people with artists' self-identities coexist with
programmers whose views on the process of creation, distribution and even the very meaning of
their work can be dramatically different from those of the artists.
The current shape and organization of Read_Me is the result of a number of discussions and
analyses concerning the traditional schemes international media art festivals are based on, as
well as the organizational forms of open source developers communities.
Art festivals as widely accepted forms are often compromised by a lack of transparency in
submission and evaluation processes, which prevents interesting authors from submitting their
projects and generates quite problematic winners. Open source communities are much more
democratic, but have their own drawbacks: they focus on functionality and pragmatic usefulness,
thus sometimes leaving out interesting projects seen as unnecessary in these contexts.
In order to keep the advantages and avoid the disadvantages of the two realms a few steps have
been taken. An open, moderated software art repository Runme.org (http://runme.org) has been
developed and put up on the Net.
The web-site was developed creatively and in an excitingly short period of time by Alex McLean.
Amy Alexander participated largely in the testing, development and realization of the solutions
along with Alexei Shulgin and Olga Goriunova. The group of concept developers also included Pit
Schultz, Florian Cramer, Matthew Fuller, The Yes Men, and Thomax Kaulmann.
The first Read_me 1.2 was also based on an online database where all the entered projects were
stored, but the database was closed for new submissions after a pre-arranged deadline. The second
Read_me 2.3 is based on a database functioning parallel to and independent from the off-line
festival. Projects entered into Runme.org before a certain date were considered as entries for
the festival, but the submission of the works was not closed as the database was kept running on
a permanent basis.
Read_Me 2.3 has abandoned the monetary prize format, but has retained other features of the
festival: calls for submissions, an off-line event with invited participants, a book, etc.
Amy Alexander, Florian Cramer, Olga Goriunova, Matthew Fuller, Alex McLean, Alexei Shulgin,
and The Yes Men have reviewed the most interesting in their opinion submitted projects.
These projects were featured without ranking in order to avoid giving preference to one approach
over another.
The new experimental practice has yielded some unusual results. Since Runme.org was open for
submissions from everyone, and its developers have uploaded found projects and invited many
people to submit their works; the number of works uploaded onto Runme.org during the one and a
half month period from the launch to the festival deadline, reached 150, including a large number
of interesting works. That is why there were 47 works selected and featured by experts, with
other works to be reviewed later. This quite unexpected result of the experiment caused some
difficulties in the presentation of all the featured works at the festival, but was also very
positive and significant.

SMART Project Space | 1e Constantijn Huygensstraat 20, Amsterdam, +31 =
(0)20 427 5951 =20
Tuesday June 10 and June 24, 20.00 hrs. Smart Project Space presents:
FILMMAKERS PRESENT:
A series in which film- and video makers present their work.
Tuesday June 10, 20.00
Filmmaker, producer and artist Gerard Holthuis creates films and =
installations in which he intuitively combines images, atmosphere and =
colours to evoke a world of recognizable images made unfamiliar. His =
films are made without predetermined scripts, lack narrative with a =
clear beginning, middle and end, but are always guided by an intuitive =
registration of what the filmmaker perceives.=20
- - Hong Kong (HKG) (1998/35 mm/13 min/b-w) In 1998 Kai Tak airport in the =
middle of Hong Kong was closed. Approaching Kai Tak was a unique =
experience for the passengers. "One could read the newspapers in the =
street" one passenger exclaimed. This is a film about the approach and =
the passing by of the airplanes in the middle of a city. An observation =
at the end of the 20th century.
- - The West (SFO) (2000/ 35 mm/10 min./b-w) A "road movie" in the =
desserts of California, Arizona and Utah
- - City at Night (AMS) (2000/35 mm/9 min./b-w) A thriller without a =
storyline and a portrait of a city at night. The audience makes a trip =
on a boat through the canals of The Hague. A city almost deserted.
Erik Wesselo makes films that are marked by a clear beginning and end, =
but in between everything stays the same. Wesselo uses film, the medium =
of the moving image, to bring time to a standstill. For the duration of =
the film he tries to capture the viewer with this one image. The tragic =
moment in these films overlap with its liberating potential.
- - Oil (2001, 16 mm, 28 min. 10) records a performative in which the =
artist and his friend are engaged in a monotonous and backbreaking task =
of loading a shipping container with boxes of oil. The film ends when =
the container is full and the actors no longer have a performance space. =
While resembling the performative durational films of structuralist 70's =
cinema, the action is also an illusion as the piece has been edited in =
the continuity style of classical Hollywood cinema. Slowly it becomes =
clear that the time depicted in the film is fictional, the edits elide =
labour in the creation of an effortless and assimilable 'seamless' =
reality, connecting this rigorous conceptual project to the narrative =
tradition.=20
Tuesday June 24, 20.00
Artists duo A.P. Komen/Karen Murphy work with video, videostills, =
photography and text. Their work usually consists of narratives in image =
and texts in which form and the relations between image and text recall =
reminiscences of the photo novel, while the content refers to =
docudrama's and television soaps.=20
- - Too much reality (2003, DV, 28 min.) Video from an installation with =
the same title. A group of friends each spend one night alone in a beach =
hut somewhere in South East Asia that is believed to bring bad luck. =
Unexpected things happen with the group. Is it caused by the hut, or by =
alcohol and drugs abuse?
- - Copper Fusion (2001, DV, 9 min. 40) An interpretation of the film =
"Paris Chic" by Andrew Blake. A woman's account, told in 12 short =
scenes, remembering another woman's attempt to create a doppelganger, =
clone of herself.
- - Me, Martin & I (2001, DV, 13 min.) A single screen video installation =
in which a Dutch woman revisits her spiritual home (Thailand) and =
narrates a series of her own experiences. As the story unfolds, the true =
nature of her testimony is brought into question.=20
Marc Schmidt will present a collection of his short films that focus on =
the small secrets of modern life, observed with great eye for detail =
while lacking any judgement. Currently the filmmaker has turned away =
from making short films and is preparing several documentary films.
- -Slow Start (2002/ DV/ 7 min.) About boys, girls and scooters in the =
Maasvlakte.=20
- -Baby Baby Sunmobiel (2000/ 16mm/ 5 min.) About crying on bed, a baby =
phone and a mother under a solarium.
- -Polder (1999/ 16mm/ 6 min.) About the Flevopolder, traffic poles and =
handicapped.
- -Kom (1998/ 16mm/ 2 min.) About the life of a thee cup.
