Portraits at Other Sides: Tuesday, July 15th at Remote Lounge, 327 Bowery above 2nd St. Doors will open at 7pm, the event will start at 7:30. There is a $5 cover. The readers are: Samuel Delany Alan Sondheim Rob Stephenson Tom Zummer Ellen Zweig Portraits From Other Sides: Rob Stephenson presents an evening of text, sex, video, a philosophical dog, and maybe robots with Ellen Zweig, Alan Sondheim, Tom Zummer and special guest Samuel R. Delany. Remote Lounge is a revolutionary new concept in nightlife entertainment. Located in downtown Manhattan, it is a technology-themed cocktail lounge and new media art space unlike anything else in the world. The lounge is outfitted with over 60 video cameras - covering every square foot of the space from multiple angles - and this live video is displayed on over 100 output devices, such as CRTs, LCDs, large format plasma screens and video projectors. Into this mix of live feeds are an ever-changing roster of digital and analog video artworks, animation, special effects, web-based art and interactive multimedia created by both emerging and established new media artists. Samuel R Delany is a writer and literary critic. Delany is best known for writing extensively in the mainstream science fiction and fantasy genres. He has won four Nebula Awards. The best-selling novel. Dhalgren, has sold over a million copies. He is also the author of a number of fictional and autobiographical works that include references to extreme aspects of human sexuality. His most recent novel is The Madman. Tom Zummer studied philosophy under Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, and is an artist and curator. "Zummer's uncanny portraits of robots are beautiful and out of this world. He is also a theorist, book designer, professor, and comic art novelist, Zummer's artistic talents are as eclectic as they are numerous." The Austin Chronicle Alan Sondheim is a writer/multimedia theorist (editor of Being On Line). Alan is a poet and critic who writes on and about the Internet. His books include Disorders of the Real, and the anthology Being on Line. He co-moderates several email lists, including Fiction of Philosophy, Cybermind, and Cyberculture. He was also virtual writer-in-residence for the trAce (sic) online writing community at the beginning of this year; he worked on a number of collaborative projects at The Lost Project at trAce, and his trAce projects are collected in their Writers-in-Residence archives. Ellen Zweig is an artist who works with video, audio, installation and performance. Her most recent work is the video series, HEAP, a collection of experimental portraits of Westerners who have studied, invented, misunderstood and loved China. "(tongue tongue stone) G. W. Leibnitz" premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, 2003. In her installations, Zweig has used optics to create camera obscuras, video projection devices, and miniature projected illusions. She has also created multi-channel video installations that have toured the US (museums include: New Mexico Museum of Fine Art in Santa Fe, List Center for the Visual Arts at MIT, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, P.S. 1 in New York). Rob Stephenson's writing has been published both on and offline in a wide variety of publications, recently including the Blithe House Quarterly, Dangerous Families, Velvet Mafia, Please Records, and Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness. He designs a continuing series of chapbooks that feature his poetry, essays, stories, artwork, and photography. Some of his short films were shown at the International Film Festival in Seoul Korea this year. His drawings have been exhibited at the Intersection Art Gallery in San Francisco, the Headlands Center for the Arts, the Katona Museum, and the Wexner Museum. ___ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2003 21:46:44 -0400 From: Sal Randolph <stfr@earthlink.net> Subject: LAUNCH OPTION berlin at B=?ISO-8859-1?B?/A==?=roFriedrich OPEN ARCH LAUNCH OPTION berlin at BüroFriedrich OPEN ARCH Opsound | Rocket Shop Miles Chalcraft Dan Belasco Rogers 22 - 26 Juli 2003 http://www.opsound.org/launch.html contact: info@rocketshop.de contact: launch@opsound.org Artists and Musicians Remix and Remap Berlin at BüroFriedrich As summer tourists are making their way through Berlin with guidebooks in hand, LAUNCH OPTION berlin offers alternate models for exploring the city which are guaranteed to hold new discoveries even for Berliners who know the city inside and out. In a 5-day festival of live performances, exhibitions and events at BüroFriedrich from 22 to 26 July, 2003 Opsound, Miles Chalcraft, Dan Belasco Rogers and range of guest performers will create a landscape of sights and sounds an audible, aerial, diagrammatic ³map² of Berlin and its human networks. Berlin Sounds! Rocket Launches! GPS Mapping! LAUNCH OPTION berlin is a test site and data gathering center, a 5-day event devoted to discovering, collecting, playing, remixing and listening to the sounds & noises of Berlin and to exploring the urban landscape through a range of visualization technologies. The aim is to investigate the city in a manner, which mirrors scientific information gathering but which is emphasizes the personal nature of discovery and urban experience. Artists and guests will be collecting sounds, aerial footage and GPS-generated maps, which will then be processed, reused or remixed in the mission control center at BüroFriedrich. Visitors are invited to review the ³findings² and listen to live performances in the exhibition space. Schedule of performances and events: http://www.opsound.org/opsound/events/launchsched.html Berlin Sound ShareWare Opsound, a project by the New York artist Sal Randolph, creates a temporary gift economy of sounds inspired by Berlin, a network of exchange modeled after the free software and open source software communities. Through an open call, musicians and sound artists are invited to submit their sounds to the Opsound Internet pool and/or perform live at BüroFriedrich. All sounds are welcome ‹ from field recordings of Oranienstrasse to the music of underground punk bands, techno tracks and experimental audio files lurking on hard drives. Opsound wants to know what Berlin sounds like: Berlin real, Berlin virtual, Berlin dreamt and desired. Sounds, samples and recordings from the Opsound pool will be used and sampled by LAUNCH OPTION berlin DJs and sound artists in live performances and additional sound pool submissions. Visitors to the gallery listening salon and Opsound pool (www.opsound.org) alike are encouraged to contribute, listen and take away sound tracks for their personal use or listening pleasure. Through Opsound LAUNCH OPTION berlin not only creates a free marketplace music and sound; but through the exchange of sounds, meetings between artists and ³discoveries² of the listeners, the social infrastructure associated with the Berlin soundscape is activated. New pathways for information, collaborations and networks are generated; this creative process forms the basis of Randolph¹s interest in social architecture as an art form. Remapping Berlin Throughout LAUNCH OPTION berlin the artists Miles Chalcraft and Dan Belasco Rogers will actively pursue the mapping and imaging the city in conjunction with the developing compilation of sounds. With daily launches of his specially designed hobby rockets equipped with video cameras, Miles Chalcraft will document selected areas of the city from the air. Footage of each launch performed at an undisclosed time and location will be exhibited at Büro Friedrich on the following day. Chalcraft will use BüroFriedrich as his flight center and rocket maintenance area. With his personal GPS equipment Dan Belasco Rogers will continue mapping of his daily routes throughout the city and will use BüroFriedrich as his point of departure and processing center. His maps and routes will be available for viewing in the gallery and on the Internet. Chalcraft¹s launches and Belasco¹s walks will be documented in field recordings, which will be added to the Opsound pool. Both Chalcraft and Rogers have personalized and adapted specific technologies to reflect their individual urban experience. Belasco¹s maps function as daily cartographic journal entries or drawings of the paths taken on his daily route through Berlin. The lines of the GPS-generated maps sketch but do not perfectly correspond to the layout of streets and official thoroughfares of the city. Miles Chalcraft¹s rockets function as tiny, quasi-private monuments to a specific site and place. The small video probe generates often impressionistic and painterly images of seemingly ordinary sites and remote locations. Remixing the Landscape Through the use of a range of technologies from digital recordings to hobby rockets LAUNCH OPTION berlin takes samples from various aspects of the Berlin geography and reworks them into visual and audio compositions. The sound permeating the exhibition will serve as an enviroment for the images of the city, and the images will create new associations for the sound. The result of such recombinations and layerings may not be a concretely recognizable “map³ of the city but will convey the associative cartography of different personal routes and stops in the process of traversing the urban landscape. ROCKET SOUND: LAUNCH OPTION berlin is powered by Rocket Shop. In conjunction with OPEN LAUNCH berlin Rocket Shop will launch ROCKET SOUND a largely virtual label hosted on the Internet with a limited edition CD of selected sounds collected over the course of the event. Sound Pool and Performances: Submit sounds to the Opsound pool! http://www.opsound.org/launch.html Or register for a live performance! launch@opsound.org Events: 22 July 6:00 pm Opening Party | Listening Salon 23 July 7:00 pm Holger Schulze (soundxchange) talks with Sal Randolph, Miles Chalcraft and Dan Belasco Rogers 24 July 7:00 pm BüroFriedrich¹s ³Are You Crazy² artist talk series 25 July 8:00 pm Evening performances 26 July 8:00 pm Closing party and performances Selected Performers Kelly Davis (US), AREDEE aka LUMP (CH), The Return of the Think Thing Vol 7 (G), Aaron Specter (US), G-LAB (LI) Milena Iossifova (US), Akuvideo (G/RU), Jason Patton (AUS), The Lynx on Pluto (G), Ecologycal Sound Corpse (BUL), Stanza (UK), Adam Linson (G) Links LAUNCH OPTION berlin http://www.opsound.org/launch.html Sal Randolph / Opsound Opsound: http://www.opsound.org Highlala: http://www.highlala.com Free Words: http://www.freewords.org Free Biennial: http://www.freebiennial.org Free Manifesta: http://www.freemanifesta.org Psygeocon: http://www.glowlab.com/psygeocon/pgc_index.html Miles Chalcraft http://www.trampoline.org.uk/heaven-earth http://www.trampoline-berlin.de/makrolab/index.html Dan Belasco Rogers http://www.planbperformance.net/dan/mapping.htm BüroFriedrich http://www.buerofriedrich.org Rocket Shop http://www.rocketshop.net ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2003 00:58:57 +0200 From: Louise Desrenards <louise.desrenards@free.fr> Subject: Virtual meeting in "real time" on "in progress" ... Hello! Waiting #11 (we hope it for July 30 at last), here is a proposal at criticalsecret.com homepage in Easy LoGz : corrections in English are not still available, but the film is just beginning...

Preface Across the USA, from East to West along Parallel 36th: an overview of the construction of the American myth... - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It was while thinking about the way in which distances are calculated, after having finished Le Sixième Monde, that I started to wonder how long it would take to travel one degree. The degree of longitude determines (more or less) the hour at which we live our lives and its distance depends on its latitude, a degree of latitude is always of the same distance. This flexibility allows a certain amount of play to come into calculations of time distance and speed, without involving quantum physics, and this play seemed to be an appropriate manner in which to follow the didacticism of. Le Sixième Monde, both insofar as they concern travel and the relativity of the definition of reality. This relativity is at the heart of the meaning of images, of representation of the reality which is fundamental to documentary research The other side of the work which I am involved in concerns the constraints and the manipulation of generic codes in the cinema, which has been to a large extent determined by the history of American cinema, even though I am a European, working in Europe. Cinematic genres play an essential role in the fabrication of the mythology, which goes so far in its contribution to the American psyche, and our image of the United States. During the months of July and August 2003, then later as the project develops, this site proposes a log in "real" time as the more developed stages of scouting out sequences emerge. David Kidman Traverser les États-Unis d'Est en Ouest, au long du 36ème parallèle : un regard sur la construction du mythe américain... - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- C'est en pensant à la façon dont les distances sont calculées, après avoir achevé « Le Sixième Monde », que j'ai commencé à me demander combien de temps prendrait de se déplacer le long d'un degré de longitude. Le degré de longitude détermine approximativement les heures qui rythment nos vies, sa distance au voisin dépendant de sa latitude, un degré de latitude gardant toujours la même distance à son autre. Cette flexibilité confère une certaine part de variation aux évaluations de temps, de distance et de vitesse - sans pour autant convoquer la physique quantique, - variable dont il semblait salutaire de suivre la didactique comme pour « Le Sixième monde » ; car ces deux projets touchent au voyage et à la relativité de la définition du réel. On trouve cette relativité au coeur même du sens des images et de la représentation de la réalité, cette dernière donnée étant fondamentale pour qui prétend faire de la recherche documentaire. L'autre versant du travail dans lequel je me suis engagé concerne les contraintes et la manipulation des codes génériques au cinéma, qui furent jusqu'ici largement déterminés par l'histoire du cinéma américain, ceci y compris pour un européen ou pour qui travaille en Europe. Qu'il s'agisse des représentations intérieures ou extérieures aux Etats-Unis, les genres cinématographiques jouent un rôle essentiel dans la fabrication de la mythologie américaine. Courant les mois de juillet et d'août 2003 et après, selon le déroulement du projet, ce site propose un carnet de route en temps réel, au fil de l'élaboration des séquences.

In 1990 this network took shape as an association, founded in The Netherlands, called the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA). ISEA was established to oversee the continuance of the symposia and each symposium promotes the aims and objectives of the Inter-Society: the event and the society are therefore mutually supportive. Both ISEA and the Symposium are dedicated to the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology, science, education, and industry. Beyond its integral support of the symposium ISEA also realizes its mission by supporting other events, developing partnerships, implementing culturally diverse initiatives, as well as through publishing and archiving. ISEA is committed to collaboration, membership participation, and the creation of new work. The aims of the Inter-Society and of the ISEA symposia are - - the promotion of communication between organizations and individuals active in the field of the electronic arts - - the creation of a structured approach towards the problems and potentials of electronic art. - - the promotion of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology, science, education, and industry. - - research, presentation and exhibition of work related to ISEAís mission. For information on previous ISEA symposia, please see the ISEA website: http://www.isea-web.org/eng/sympos.html *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Submissions will be accepted from: Category 1: (Educational) institutes (universities, art schools, museums etc.), (artistic, cultural or scientific) organizations, government bodies, etc; Category 2*: Congress organizing bureaus; Category 3**: Umbrella organizations created for the purpose of hosting an ISEA Symposium. *Category 2 applicants must be able to demonstrate evidence of organizing earlier, comparable and successful events. **Category 3 applicants must show evidence of support and thus prove the feasibility of their financial plan. *GUIDELINES FOR SYMPOSIUM HOST CANDIDATES* All candidates are strongly advised to carefully read through the recently revised "Guidelines for Symposium Host Candidates" on the ISEA website at <http://www.isea-web.org/eng/sympos_guide.html> before they submit their letter of intent.

We willen proberen zeer ruime, eclectische en produktieve concepten te genereren door discussie en debat met (zoals u kunt zien aan het programma) zeer diverse en hoogstaande professionals. We hopen u in september in Gent te zien. Daar krijgen de contouren van dit nieuwe gebied vorm, Vriendelijke groeten, Rob. Corporal Literacy Symposium A workshop/panel in the Conference: MULTILITERACIES: THE CONTACT ZONE 2003 International AILA Conference on Literacy http://memling.rug.ac.be/aila What is it about? Maaike Bleeker: New developments in a variety of disciplines - ranging from philosophy to medicine to cognitive science - argue for a revaluation of the body as actively involved in processes of world making rather than a passive decoding machine. This revaluation of the body points to the necessity to change our understanding of the role of the body in processes of perception and meaning making. Corporal literacy understood as the bodily capacity to read and make sense also changes the notion of thought and meaning itself, the idea of what it means to do thinking, to make meaning, to rationalize. "What is important" write Lakoff and Johnson in their Philosophy in the Flesh, "is not just that we have bodies and that thought is somehow embodied. What is important is that the very peculiar nature of our bodies shapes our very possibilities for conceptualisation and categorization." Corporal literacy describes these abilities of the body to perceive, read and make sense. It is a strategic term, with which we want to make a space for interaction and collaboration between researchers approaching questions of bodily meaning making from various backgrounds. George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. Philosophy in the Flesh. The Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought. Basic Books 1999: 19 Rob van Kranenburg: In A future world of supersenses, Martin Rantzer of Ericsson Foresight claims: "New communication senses will be needed in the future to enable people to absorb the enormous mass of information with which they are confronted," According to him the user interfaces we use today to transmit information to our brains threaten create a real bottleneck for new broadband services. "The boundaries of what constitutes consumer electronics and computers are getting blurred," said Gerard J. Kleisterlee, the chief executive of Royal Philips Electronics. "As we get wireless networking in the home, everything starts to talk to everything." Implementing digital connecitivity in an analogue environment without a design for all the senses , without a concept of corporal literacy, leads to information overload. In a ubiquitous computing environment the new intelligence is extelligence, "knowledge and tools that are outside people's heads" (Stewart and Cohen, 1997) In a ubiquitous computing environment the user has to be not only textually and visually literate, both also have corporal literacy, that is an awareness of extelligence and a working knowledge of all the senses. It is our claim in staking out a field of corporal literacy that in contemporary performance and theatrical practice we find an actualization of (and ways of dealing with) the bottleneck scenarios that are envisaged by information experts. Where is it? Location: Ghent, Belgium Date: 22-27 September 2003 Contact: Contact Persons: Rob van Kranenburg - Maaike Bleeker Contact Email: kranenbu@xs4all.nl - maaike.bleeker@hum.uva.nl Register: http://memling.rug.ac.be/AILA/registration.php Corporal Literacy - Ghent, September 23 - 26, 2003 Preliminary Program Day 1: Tuesday September 23, 11.00 - 18.00 hrs. Maaike Bleeker (University of Amsterdam) The Anatomical Theatre Revisited. Introduction Philipa Rothfield (La Trobe University) Corporal Literacy This paper will look at the notion of corporal literacy via phenomenology of the body. Kinaesthetic practices such as dance will be discussed, along with anthropological work on phenomenology and cultural difference. Rebecca Skelton (Chicester UK) Ways of becoming more literate: through dancing, through being. Through the phenomenological approach of Maurice Merleau-Ponty this paper will outline how the practice of Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) can tune the dancing and non dancing body to its perceptions through a creative process of image specific, movement explorations. It will outline how something of the psychophysical totality experienced by the dancer when being 'moved by an image', can make sense of how the individual deals with the noise of the everyday; the constant process of receiving feedback from and tuning into information (as in tuning a radio) that occurs, just by 'being in' the world. Alan Dunning (Alberta College Art and Design), Paul Woodrow, (Dept. of Art, University of Calgary), Dr. Morley Hollenberg (Dept. of Medicine, Health Sciences), University of Calgary: Besides Ourselves - The Body Double and the Shape of Its Thought The Einstein's Brain Project The Einstein's Brain Project is a collaborative group of artists and scientists who have been working together for the past six years to visualize the biological state of the conscious body. In this presentation the Project will explore its various reasons and methods for constructing visual forms directly out of the human acts of living, acting and thinking in the body's moment to moment reconstruction of itself and its world. Patricia Portela Aliemotion: A Web Conference Day 2: Wednesday September 24, 11.00 - 18.00 hrs Rob van Kranenburg: Introduction Olha Homilko (Ukraine) Desomatization and Disembodiment as the alternates of Corporal Literacy The paper deals with the metaphysical desomatization of a human being in the modern philosophy and its overcoming in contemporary theoretical discourse. That is to say, the subject of the presentation is the metaphysical shift from Ego to Soma as a principal ontological authenticity. Seth Riskin and Noah Riskin (MIT) Identical Twinhood and Corporal Literacy Identical twinhood presents a rare opportunity for the development of corporal literacy: the chance to observe and communicate with one's genetic double. As identical twins, the authors draw from their expanded experience of body-knowing it from inside and outside-to shed light on the connection between "self" and "other" and between the body and the world it perceives. Sarah Rubidge (Chicester UK) Spaces of Sensation: The Immersive Installation and corporal literacy The multi-sensory immersive interactive installation is a perfect environment to explore and experience the complex interweaving systems that make up the embodied mind. My paper will examine the implications of these environments for corporal literacy, drawing on the work of neuroscientists such as Antonio Damasio (2000) and Gerald Edelman (2001), psychologists such as Howard Gardner (1993), and philosophers such as Bergson (1910); Merleau Ponty (1989) and Deleuze and Guattari (1987). Stijn Ossevoort (IVREA) on Wearable Computing. I will present two wearable electronic objects based on the augmented relation between two individuals and their favourite piece of clothing. Both objects have been designed to be a non-distracting, integral part of their daily activities. Day 3, Thursday September 25, 11.00-18.00 hrs. Alternative location: The Small House of Radical Art (Ghent) Alissa Cardone and Petra Vermeersch What the Body Knows, Lecture + Performance Using the example of Artaud to think through the idea of corporal literacy. Literacy is associated with cultured modes of reading and writing. Is this an appropriate logic for thinking about the ways in which the body knows, learns and transmits information? The key to new ways of communicating is in movement. Rita Marcalo (Chichester UK) What if? This presentation asks what understanding would one have of the role of the body in the processes of perception, if one constructed such an understanding around Bergson's theorisations. In stating that "_ we perceive only the past" (p. 150) , Bergson seems to equate perception (of the present) with a particular kind of very immediate memory (of the past). He further establishes the body as the mediator between the external object and this immediate memory (or perception). Taking Bergson as a starting point, this presentation enquires on the role of bodily memory - or as Bergson says memory that is "fixed in the organism" (p. 151) - in the perception and survival of choreographic performance. The presentation would first take the form of a 15-minute presentation, and then of a 15 minute performance. Bruno Colet: performance (all day). AllenWood (Australia) - ''Le Minddlur'' Day 4, Friday September 26, 11.00 - 18.00 hrs. Ramsay Burt (De Montfort Universiy) A preliminary exploration of cognitive approaches towards reading abstract dance. Drawing on Lakoff and Johnson's work on the embodied basis of metaphor in language, this paper looks at a recent work by the English choreographer Jonathan Burrows in order to explore bodily meaning making in abstract dance choreography. Reading Lakoff and Johnson backwards, it suggests that dance performance consitutes a dialogic process that articulates, through bodily meaning making, the cognitive structures that they have postulated underpin language. JDean (Computer Information Systems and Language Arts at the Milwaukee Area Technical College) A New Alphabet: an inquiry into digital literacy and embodiment. A New Alphabet (http://pw.english.uwm.edu/~jdean) an inquiry into digital literacy and embodiment is a multi-faceted and divergent critique of new media, technology, and literature in a digital collage of essay, poetics and iconographic images from fine art. Each page is an alphabet letter exploring the apparatus of perception and cognition in relation to thought. A New Alphabet while using new media offers a Blakeian resistance to formation of a culture of uniformity and/or enchantment with new media, promoting instead, critical recognition of a continuous momentum of flux of ideas and methods of transmission. Steven de Belder: Re-reading the Layman. Christel Stalpaert (University of Ghent) From Time to Time: The Bodily Capacity to Read and Make Sense of Temporal and Spatial (co)ordinates.
