>INTERNET SEX SITE OFFERS HELP TO COMPULSIVE PORN USERS
>www.hardcore hotel.co.uk
>
>Everyday, all over the world millions of seemingly normal men spend hours
>in front of their computers, logged onto hardcore porn sites. Far
>surpassing any other form of net usage, on line porn is big business with
>more money spent in America on pornography than on Coca-Cola. The
>accessibility of so much imagery that previously was only available in
>shrink wrapped plastic has generated much controversy. However amidst all
>the debates about censorship, the protection of minors and representation
>of women one voice has remains oddly silent, those of men themselves.
>
>Why have we heard so little about why men consume pornography in the first
>place ? What goes through men's minds as they use pornography ? What does
>the consumption of pornography tell us about how men feel about themselves?
>After all it is men who produce it, market it, buy it and ultimately
>masturbate to it.
>
>The HARDCORE HOTEL web site is the final part of "Consuming Desire" a
>project by artist/activist John Jordan which has explored men's complex
>relationship to pornography. The project has used a multiplicity of
>mediums to unravel this secret and taboo facade of masculinity including;
>hoaxes (Guilty Pleasures sex shop -Nottingham, 1992 ), mass media
>interventions ( Good morning with Richard and Judy, ITV 1995 / The Esther
>Show BBC2 1995), performance and video installations (Odense Kunst Halle,
>Denmark 1993 - Institute of Contemporary Arts, London 1995), and therapy
>groups (the founding of the "Men & Porn Group" 1994 in collaboration with
>writer Peter Baker and therapist Marc Pigeon, to work
>with compulsive pornography users).
>
>The Hardcore Hotel Web site is designed and marketed to look and feel like
>a sex site, but once inside the xxx live streaming galleries are in fact
>filled with video interviews of men, who candidly describe their
>experiences of pornography and the effects it has had on their lives and
>sexualities. Other aspects of the site include information and exercises
>to help compulsive porn users.
>
>To mark the launch of the site, Camerawork gallery is hosting a special
>exhibition, which for the first time brings together all the documentation
>of the "Consuming Desire" project.

ICG has released its latest report on Bosnia, in anticipation of the
fourth anniversary of the Dayton Peace Agreement on 21 November 1999. In
"Is Dayton Failing?" (November 3), ICG presents a hard-hitting analysis
of the Dayton Peace Agreement and the future of the Bosnian peace
process. The report examines the agreement annex by annex - highlighting
areas of success and failure, identifying obstacles to continued
progress and setting out the tough choices confronting international
policymakers in Bosnia today.

The latest ICG report from Kosovo, Kosovo: Who's Killing Whom? (2nd
November) provides a survey of the rapid escalation of crime and
violence in Kosovo's ethnic melting pot. The analysis focuses
particularly on the role of key paramilitary factions threatening
Kosovo's internal security. Indeed, the still turbulent relation between
the KLA, non-Albanian ethnic minorities, Serbian paramilitaries,
Albanian criminals and the political rivals of the KLA such as the LDK
are all seen to contribute to the current security crisis faced by the
recently formed multiethnic civilian protection force, the KPC.

Shaping the Network Society
The Future of the Public Sphere in Cyberspace
DIAC-00
A Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing (DIAC) Symposium
Sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility
First Call for Abstracts / Papers
May 20 - May 23, 2000
Seattle, Washington, USA
_________________________________________________________________
Cyberspace may become the dominant medium through which people
create and share information and ideas. How their conversations
about the environment, culture, leisure, and political decisions,
are conducted and how they are resolved are likely to have
major social implications in the future. What directions and
implications does cyberspace foretell for community, democracy,
education and culture? Addressing those questions may be among the
most urgent tasks facing humankind today.
The objective of DIAC-00 is to integrate many perspectives,
conversations, and people from around the world on the topic
of public space in cyberspace: What is it? What should it be?
What would we do with it? What can we do about it?
While DIAC-00 will present "best practices" and other lessons
learned "from the field" there is an urgent need for theoretical
work (or "condensed practice") as well. For that reason, DIAC-00
is strongly encouraging reflective work on strategic and policy
levels. There is enormous energy found at the grassroots level
and it is growing. The big problem today is framing the idea of
public space in cyberspace in a way that engages intellectuals,
decision-makers, artists, and citizens. This can only be done
by combining "best practice" stories with strong provocative
conceptualizations of what is happening in our world and how
public cyberspace can play a role. We need theories, concepts
that can help us discuss, reflect, and take action on these critical
matters. As an integral part of the DIAC-00 conference social
scientists, engineers, computer scientists, artists, journalists,
and other members of the research community will contribute their
thinking on these pressing issues:
* Community Informatics
* Civic Knowledge, Civic Infrastructure
* New Tools, Applications, Services, and Institutions
* Theoretical Frameworks
* Methodological Frameworks
* Critical Theory
* Social Economy of the Internet
* Computers, Work, and Cyberspace
* New -- and Retooled -- Media
* Participatory and Community-Centered Design
* Community Initiatives
* Public Access and Community Networks
* Practitioner and Researcher Co-Learning
* Bridging the Digital Divide
* Cyberspace Policy -- Social Policy -- Cultural Policy
* Computer-Supported Community Work
* Localism and Globalism
* International Perspectives and Partnerships
* Social Movements and Collaborations
DIAC-00 will be a multifaceted event. This call for abstracts
/ papers addresses the research or academic component of the
symposium. There are other opportunities for participation within
this framework. The guidelines for workshop proposals will be
released soon.
DIAC-00 will be the seventh symposium sponsored by Computer
Professionals for Social Responsibility in the "Directions and
Implications of Advanced Computing" series. DIAC-00 is intended to
broaden the discussion and awareness about the future of cyberspace
both in terms of topics and in terms of participation. It is also
our intent to provide visibility to topics and perspectives that
are often neglected by the media.
Each extended abstract should contain a description and outline of
the work, supporting evidence and data, and references. Abstracts
and papers should be written in English. All extended abstracts
should be submitted (in plain text only!) electronically to Peter
Day (p.day@btinternet.com). Abstracts should be fewer than 2,000
words. Authors should remember that they will be addressing
non-academics as well as academics at this conference and avoid
jargon whenever possible. Citations should follow the Harvard
Citation guidelines.
Academic Program Committee: Phil Agre (US), Amy Bruckman (US),
Natasha Bulashova (Russia), Steve Cisler (US), Greg Cole (US),
Peter Day (co-chair; UK), Fiorella de Cindio (Italy), Susana
Finquelievich (Argentina), Michael Gurstein (Canada), Toru Ishida
(Japan), Peter Mambrey (Germany), Kate ODubhchair (UK), Volkmar
Pipek (Germany), Jenny Preece (US), Lodis Rhodes (US), Douglas
Schuler (co-chair; US), Lisa Servon (US), Erik Stolterman (Sweden),
Peter van den Besselaar (Netherlands), Murali Venkatesh (US), Ken
Young (Australia).
Important Dates: February 15, 2000 extended abstracts due; March
15, 2000 feedback given to authors; May 1, 2000 revised abstracts
due. May 20 - May 23, 2000 DIAC-00. The final papers, ready
for book / journal, will be due sometime in summer 2000. We
are planning to publish all submitted abstracts on our web site.
We are planning to publish accepted papers in a book or journal.
The academic program will be thoroughly integrated with the rest
of DIAC-00.
We are pleased to be a member of the Global 2000 Virtual Community
Coalition. The Global 2000 Virtual Community Coalition is a
loosely affiliated group of people, organizations, and events all
over the world who are working together in the year 2000 to help
promote democratic use of communication technology and discourage
social exclusion due to inequitable access to communication.
DIAC-00 is sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social
Responsibility and co-sponsored by Friends and Partners. Please
contact us if your organization would like to become a co-sponsor
or endorser. We'd like to thank the Morino Foundation for their
support.

The Artists Village is organising 'Post-Ulu' a year end show at The
Substation. In one of the activities of this event, participating artists
will attempt to complete 2000 pieces of drawings. This is not to
commemorate the coming new millenium, but to ask ourselve what the 'new
millenium' means to us. some chose to ignore it, and some choose to
celebrate over it. In Post-Ulu, we have decided to create over it.
By drawing, what we meant here is to make visual markings, as a record and
testimonial of time, reflecting on individual's creative intention or
concern and exploring one's idea through the process of drawing. After the
completion of the last of the 2000 Drawings, they will be compiled as a
collective effort from many individuals and will be shown in future art
exhibitions that will be organised to follow up with 'Post-Ulu'. We hope
to explore more with creative processes by embarking on ideas from the
2000 Drawings, in doing so, produce object-based and time-based works from
it.
as co-ordinator of this 2000 Drawings project, i am inviting you to join
us by taking part in 'Post-Ulu'.
We will be at The Substation's Gallery starting from 28th Dec to put the
2000 Drawings project into action. This project may take two to three
working days to be completed, so by 1st Jan 2000, the last drawing should
be completed. You may like to take part by visiting 'Post-Ulu', we will be
opened from 10am to 10pm daily in the gallery. You can come with a
finished drawing or come empty handed with the intention to create. There
will be materials provided for you or you can bring your own medium to
use. Alternatively, if you cannot be present on either one of these days
during this project, you can send your drawings from 1st Dec to 30th Dec
1999 . please send your drawings together with your full name and contact
address to:

Attn: Kai,

or e-mail: drool2k@hotmail.com
There is no fixed criteria for sending your drawings, it can be of any
shapes and sizes, made with any materials, and express every intention you
want to. If you can send it, we will accept it.
One thing, all submitted drawings will be non-returnable, but we will
acknowledge your participation when exhibiting the drawing project in
future shows. Funds will be raised to document this work and send to
participants as a token for participating in this project. (so make sure
your address comes with your drawing/s).
A quote from an experienced artist who have done this before, in "The
Drawing Show" in the past during Dec 1989, "He or she may use it maybe as
a means of exploring their ideas and concepts, or a response to the visual
imagery and events around him or he may be exploring the potential
qualities of materials used for that drawing .Drawing then is an important
vehicle for recording and investigating in the artist's own visual
langauge".
in regards, kai
*programme of 'Post-Ulu' for your reference.
Post-Ulu: a year end show organised by the Artists Village at The
Substation, Singapore.
The Artists Village have been around for ten years and have always been
defined by architecture, in the sense that it was always about the
physical place where artists are able to produce works. But often we are
asked what have we got now that the physical working space of ‘The
Village’ is gone. What is our direction in terms of working as artists in
the contemporary society of Singapore? We have thus decided to collaborate
in a process work among the current members by turning The Substation’s
Gallery into a working studio for three weeks. This short time span of
dwelling place can spark off a series of action\project based work that
the public can interact with and also proceed with some more future
projects.
The title 'Post-Ulu" is a departure point from the original Artists
Village at Lorong Gambas, Jalan Ulu Sembawang in relation to the function
of the present group. Ulu in Malay definition means seclusion or an
isolated place. So as the title suggests an 'after-isolation' period, it
is vital for the present group to identify it's function as an art group.
In this show, the function of Artists Village is questioned by the
methodology of artists negotiating spaces and artists' idealogies of
functioning in Singapore's social context. It is not a comparison of
past-present, but the past is being integrated as a reference to the
current situation of the group. In ‘Post-Ulu’ we hope to define some
issues that have surfaced over the past years: what is the fuction of The
Artists Village as an art society and Contemporary art practices in
Singapore.
"Post-Ulu" will open on 28th Dec 1999 to 16th Jan 2000.
The artists involved with organising the events of "Post-Ulu" will be
Jeremy Hiah, Dennis Tan, Tien Wei Woon, Lina Adam, Green Zeng and Lam Hoi
Lit.
Dennis Tan and Lam Hoi Lit will be the spokespersons for The Artists
Village in regards to press matters.
The organisational work will be distributed among the artists and it will
cover these events:

go into this space to work constantly for a period of 3 weeks. There will
be a drawing workshop/collaboration by a few artists and the public to do
2000 pieces of drawings to anticipate the new milleinium. this drawing
collaboration will eventually develop into object-based and eventually
time-based works. The purpose of this method is not to exhibit
end-products but to create a continuation of individuals' processes with
the reminder that this show is a departure point to future projects. Among
Artists Village members there will be a collective effort to present a
collaborative video work at The Singapore Art Museum for Nokia Art 99.
