"The Dead Celebrity Diaries", Kate Pendry
Online: http://www.zoolounge.com/
The Dead Celebrity Diaries:
Dead Diana, the late Princess of Wales hosts a daily diary from the other
side.
The Dead Celebrity Diaries will be updated daily until the end of the
millenium. A host of famous dead make their diary entries, giving us a
unique chance to see what goes on in celebrity "paradise"? where no matter
how famous you are there will always be someone more famous than you.
Performance and installation at Cafe Zoolounge, tuesday, november 16, 20:00h.
Cafe Zoolounge are pleased to announce the opening of our first Internet
art project: The Dead Celebrity Diaries by Kate Pendry
Dead Diana is artist and actor Kate Pendry's alter ego from the other side.
Diana will manifest on Zoolounge cafe gallery & online.
Since opening in 1996, contemporary art has been central to the Zoolounge
concept, especially with regard to video art, installation and performance.
Now, Zoolounge expands its art concept to the Internet. Selected artists
will be given the opportunity and assistance to create web projects at
http://www.zoolounge.com/. As before, the projects may also take physical
form in the cafe itself, often in drastic ways.
"We are especially happy to be able to open the Internet section with Kate
Pendry. She is a new kind of storyteller who utilizes both the Internet and
the physical space and adapts the story to her chosen media," says Ingwill
M. Gjelsvik, artististic and technical manager for the Zoolounge web and
gallery.
This quasi-religious installation / internet project looks ironically at
the cult of celebrity and our mania for all persons dead+famous. In
Zoolounge an altar with an iconographic image of Diana (including autopsy
scars) and the bible-like diary are placed amongs urbanites who drink, meet
and greet under the saintly eye of Diana, the most famous dead celebrity of
them all.
On the internet the Dead Celebrity Diaries use hypertext narrative and
daily updates to show just how far-reaching our obsession with celebrity is.
Kate Pendry
Kate Pendry is an artist, actor and playwright. She is best known for her
controversial performance and Internet project Dead Diana
http://www.deaddiana.com
She has worked in the realm of media art for several years and participated
at the Electra exhibition and the 5th International Biennale in Istanbul.
Kate Pendry is currently also represented with the work "Charlie Pendry's
Talking Head" at the DETOX itinerant exhibiton, which opened at Kunstnernes
hus in Oslo on November 13 http://www.riksut.no/detox
Offline on December the 14th.:
"Dear Diary,
They're all here. John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Sharon Tate,
Jim Morrison.
I have tried to persuade them to stick to writing in the Dead
Celebrity Diary, but now they all want to go back amongst the
living and tell their stories.
It is dangerous but I don't think I can stop them.
I have arranged for them to appear on December the 14th.
God help us all.
Diana, Princess of Wales"

bonjour,
Nous vous présentons deux points de rencontres, de discordes.
Le premier est la recherche d'un lieu où planter notre atelier-performance
devenu nomade par nécessité. L'autre une proposition d'atelier-film, une
écriture d'images partagées, interposées deux mémoires.
La recherche:
nous sommes à la recherche d¹une structure d¹accueil pour un atelier associé
à une performance en arts plastiques et nouveaux médias, traitant du thème
des réseaux de surveillances et des modes d¹enfermements (VU--PRIS.html).
Présentée à Bruxelles, ce mois de novembre, nous découvrons la nécéssité
d'une dynamique: réaliser, à nouveau, cet événement dans d'autres lieux
propices au passage.
info: http://www.confetti.org/presentation.html
L'atelier film:
Nous vous invitons à réaliser cet atelier avec nous des films d'animation à
l'aide d'une webcaméra et d'images envoyées par vous ?
Cette semaine, le film sera réalisé à partir de cartes postales échangées
par deux amants (Florimond & Antoinette) lors de la première guerre
mondiale. Images partagées. Ceci débute, ce jeudi 16 décembre à 06:00 p.m.
http://www.confetti.org/atelier_film.html
Envoyez-nous vos images! C'est à partir de celles-ci que nous réalisons ces
animations. Pour nous contactez,
c'est ICI--> mailto:confetti@brutele.be
Placez vos images en attachment de votre courrier :)
Ou par voie postale:

Founder of Alt-X Online Network Invited to Participate in the Whitney
Biennial 2000
December 16, 1999
BOULDER --- The Alt-X Online Network, founded in late 1993 as a site where
"the digerati meet the literati," is happy to announce that our Founder and
Director, Mark Amerika, has been invited to participate in the Whitney
Biennial 2000. The list of artists invited to participate was released in
the New York Times last week.
Amerika will be featuring his online narrative GRAMMATRON, a story about
cyberspace, Cabala mysticism, digicash paracurrencies and the evolution of
virtual sex in a society afraid to go outside and get in touch with its own
nature. According to the artist, "GRAMMATRON depicts a near-future world
where stories are no longer conceived for book production but are instead
created for a more immersive networked-narrative environment that, taking
place on the Web, calls into question how a narrative is composed, published
and distributed in network culture."
The GRAMMATRON web site, located at www.grammatron.com, has attracted over
one million visitors since it was first released in 1997 and was an
immediate Internet sensation with feature articles and reviews in the New
York Times, The Village Voice, Wired, MSNBC's The Site, Reuters
International and Time Digital. The project has been exhibited in over 20
international art shows including the Ars Electronica Festival, the
International Symposium of Electronic Art, SIGGRAPH, the Guggenheim's
"Cyberatlas" show, the Adelaide Arts Festival "FOLDBACK" show in South
Australia, and "Virtual Worlds 98" held in Paris.

December 17, 1999
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TOY WAR HEATS UP
Press conference at Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53rd St., New York, 6:30pm.
Free and open to the public.
Contact: mailto:etoyconference@rtmark.com
(646)228-8822 (Friday 12/18 to Monday 12/20 only)
More information: http://rtmark.com/etoy/
http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html
On November 29, freedom on the Internet suffered a potentially devastating
blow when the e-commerce toy giant eToys was granted a court injunction
against the European online art collective etoy (no "s"), forcing the much
longer-established artists to stop using their domain name, etoy.com, which
predates eToys' existence by two years. (Most recently, Network Solutions,
the company that maintains the master list of internet addresses (domains)
has blocked email service to etoy.com, though this was not mandated by the
injunction.)
On December 12, RTMark, an online activist group, announced an initiative
aimed at raising public awareness of the situation. With a new series of
on-line activities organized in a "mutual fund" structure
(http://rtmark.com/etoy/), RTMark is helping to create a precedent that will
show corporations that they cannot abuse the law on the Internet with
impunity, much as the Internet-driven Brent Spar fiasco forced Shell and
other petroleum companies to consider environmental impact before undertaking
potentially destructive operations (http://rtmark.com/shell).
The "etoy Fund" and other anti-eToys campaigns have been so successful that
the 40% drop in eToys' share price which began on November 29, the day
of the injunction, has been widely attributed to the protests and to fear
of their results. The campaign will continue and intensify during the last-
minute Christmas shopping rush.
The activities in the "etoy Fund" range from direct hacking and Denial of
Service (DoS) attacks against eToys.com, to information campaigns directed at
eToys investors on ETYS Internet message boards, to traditional boycotts and
pickets. Several of the projects have already been a demonstrable success;
perhaps most visibly, the "Virtual Sit-in" (http://rtmark.com/sitin.html), a
sophisticated DoS attack in which tens of thousands have participated, has
rendered the eToys servers uselessly sluggish at times. (The RAND Corporation
warned eToys this could happen, apparently to no avail; see
http://www.usatoday.com/usatonline/19991215/1754367s.htm.)
Confirmed speakers and participants in Monday's press conference include etoy
spokespeople, the Electronic Disturbance Theater (developers of the Virtual
Sit-in software), Fakeshop (designers of the Virtual Sit-in pages),
spokespeople for other embattled domains (http://rtmark.com/etoyother.html),
Santas Against eToys (we expect about twenty), The Hungry March Band,
Reverend Billy, the computer buyer's advice columnist for iVillage.com, and
Internet advisory Rhizome. Question-and-answer periods will follow each
speaker.
BACKGROUND
eToys is the third largest e-business on the Internet; etoy.com, which eToys
lawyers have shut down, is the domain synonymous with the oldest, best-known,
and most influential Internet art group, etoy. etoy has owned etoy.com since
1995, before eToys existed, and two years before eToys registered its own URL.
etoy.com has never made any reference to eToys. See
http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html for more information.
RTMark, which is in no way associated with etoy, aims to publicize the
widespread corporate abuse of democratic institutions like courts and
elections. To this end it solicits and distributes funding for "sabotage
projects"; the groups of such projects are called "mutual funds" in order to
call attention to one way in which large numbers of people come to identify
corporate needs as their own. RTMark projects do not normally target specific
companies; the etoy Fund projects are an exception.
RTMark is no stranger to the hot topic of domain-name control. The World
Trade Organization's press release about http://gatt.org, accusing RTMark of
"illegal practices" in publishing information critical of the WTO at that
site, merely brought the WTO ridicule from the press
(http://rtmark.com/gatt.html); George W. Bush's and Microsoft's legal attacks
on GWBush.com (http://rtmark.com/bush.html) and MicrosoftEdu.com
(http://rtmark.com/allpress.html#mse) failed to affect the domains. See also
http://rtmark.com/othersites.html for more on this issue.

Press release
November 29, 1999
Exploding Cinema, section of the International Film Festival Rotterdam,
29th edition, January 26 - February 6, 2000
For the year 2000, the International Film Festival Rotterdam expects to
build upon the more than 300,000 admissions of 1999 and once again will
offer a diverse and adventurous programme with more than 200 films and
digital features plus many shorts and, in addition in its prize winning
Exploding Cinema section, an 'explosion' of new directions for the moving
image.
TECH.POP.JAPAN
As part of the Japan programme of the festival, Exploding Cinema will
concentrate on the crossovers between animation, online, art, design,
videogames and the moving image. As Tokyo is steeped in mass culture,
created and consumed by the masses, media evolves with the increase of
information and the wider distribution of information. Visual media and
visual information develop, they all diffuse a quantity of mass media.
Everyday life is filled with visual information, in games, advertisements,
the internet and the streets; Tokyo artists and filmmakers have developed a
hybrid language and special aesthetics. The programme shows that Japanese
pop culture is an urban and media-informed culture where the boundaries
between high culture, mass culture, and subculture have become excitingly
blurred. The programme offers a cut and paste of moving images, music, pop
culture, interactive media and art. Special features of the Tech.Pop.Japan
include:
JAPANESE MEDIAPOP LOUNGE
A 50's cinema will be redesigned as a Japanese media-culture lounge where
people can listen to Japanese DJ's, watch films, play games, experience
screen based art, have drinks, eat sushi and read books and magazines from
Japan. The lounge will also show some location based entertainment from
Japan (like arcade games) as well as small portable devices and
installations, featuring TOKYO EPOS from Geert Mul, BITHIKE, presenting
software with which you can make your own animation, WATCHING MUSIC,
LISTENING PICTURE and A GRITTY SLIPPERY HARDY FLABBY
THING from Ages5 & Up and KAGE, with which you can sent animations
to one another.
TOKYO TECHNO TOURISM
An exhibition of Japanese videogames, which takes visitors on a tour of
Techno-Media city Tokyo, navigated by video games. You can have a fight
downtown, drive a car on the Metropolitan Express Way or attend a dance
contest in the nightlife area.
FILM AND ANIMATION
Film programmes show a new generation of film-makers who come from
different backgrounds such as game design, animation and videogames. For
example Japan Edge, a secret history and forbidden prophesies, using a
mixed-media approach, and drawing from sources such as animation, manga,
Japanese cult films (from Godzilla to yakuza movies), and music videos.
Furthermore there will be programmes with digital shorts from Japanese
film-makers and graphic designers, and music video's featuring Imai Toons,
The Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five, Hideyuki Tanaka, Stereotype
Product and Cowboy Bebop.
MUSIC/LIVE
There will be multimedia live performances by artists and collaborations
between film-makers, animators and musicians. To be included this year: a
performance by DJ Krush a night around Sublime, the Japanese cutting edge
label for electronic music.
OSHII MAMORU: FILM-MAKER IN FOCUS
Each year the festival selects three film-makers in mid-career who remain
far too little recognized internationally. This year one of the three will
be Oshii Mamoru, recognized as one of the masters of animation to rank
alongside Miyazaki and Otomo. The festival will present a selection of the
features he has directed and scripted plus several of his short films and
videogames. The programme will include his great GHOST IN THE SHELL.
The Kunsthal will have the exhibition Manga Manga!, the first manga
exhibition in the Netherlands, with art of Japanese comics, from January 22
till March 26, 2000.
MASTERCLASS, THE FUTURE OF THE SMALL SCREEN
In addition to showcasing new directions in cinema and digital media, The
International Film Festival Rotterdam takes an active role in stimulating
new media developments. For the second time the Exploding Cinema organises
a masterclass for film- and television directors and new media designers in
collaboration with the Stimuleringsfonds voor Culturele Omroepprodukties
(the state fund for cultural projects for broadcasting). Film, television
and new media directors work together for a week to investigate new
creative opportunities arising from digital media and interactivity,
concentrating on the future relationship of television and computers.
Focussing on narrative as well as non-linear programs, in fiction and
documentary, the goal of the masterclass is to identify concepts for
programs that could not be made in traditional media or on television
alone. The masterclass will be led by Dutch and international directors and
mentors such as Tota Hasegawa (interface designer) and Glenn Kaino
(Commworks). The masterclas will take place in Rotterdam from January 30
till Febuary 3, 2000.
PANELS: THE FUTURE OF MEDIA DISTRIBUTION
Exploding Cinema will present a programme of panels and presentations in
collaboration with the CineMart for the professional film industry about
the future of distribution. Panels will focus on how the internet
transforms the existing media industries and who the new players are,
showing new players and networks that are entering the living room and the
way they will deliver film and video. The programme will ask questions
like: what is the future of distribution? What kind of new hybrid media
forms and content experiences are appearing out of this convergence, and
how will that effect the way an audience interacts with content? Speakers
are for example Robert Tercek (vice president Sony Digital), Rap-artist
Ice-T, Jim Banister (Warner Brothers Online) and Michael Nash (Madison
Project). Keynote speaker is Henry Jenkins, Professor/Director of the
Program in Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT, and writer of FROM
BARBIE TO MORTAL KOMBAT.
CINEMA WITHOUT WALLS
As usual the festival collaborates with other Rotterdam art institutions.
The Boijmans van Beuningen Museum will have an exhibition of work by Sharon
Lockhart, including her new film THEATRAS AMAZONAS plus installations by
Shirin Neshat, Fiona Tan (FACING FORWARD) and Tacita Dean (BUBBLE
HOUSE). Witte de With, centre for contemporary art, presents 'Stimuli',
exploring
levels of hallucination, ecstasy, trance and shock in contemporary art.
Included are film/video related installations by Nasrin Tabatabai and Bruce
Nauman.
The Dutch Institute of Architecture (NAI) will have the exhibition; Town
for the Film, Japanese filmarchitecture by Yohei Taneda from January 21
till March 5, 2000. Yohei Taneda is a film-set designer, whose work is
exhibited for the first time in Europe. It vividly reveals the new notion
of city and architecture depicted in Japanese and Asian cinema.
On Friday January 14, 2000, there are press screenings of films from the
Exploding Cinema section and other work in the Filmmuseum, Vondelpark 3,
Amsterdam, starting at about 10.00 hr. The programme will be e-mailed to
you as soon as it is finished and can be found on our website,
www.iffrotterdam.nl.
You can now subscribe to the Exploding Cinema mailing list by sending an
e-mail with subject SUBSCRIBE to exploding@iffrotterdam.nl.
The latest information about the festival and Exploding Cinema is available
on the festival Internet site: http://www.iffrotterdam.nl. The digital
catalogue with information about all films will be on line from
mid-January. The programme will appear in print on Thursday 20 January as a
colour magazine with de Volkskrant.

Disinformation, the Web's Leading Subculture Portal and Search Engine
Announces Disinfo.Con 2000.
Set For February 19, 2000 Disinfo.Con Will Explore the Future with Robert
Anton Wilson, Douglas Rushkoff, Genesis P-Orridge, RU Sirius and More!
New York, NY - Richard Metzger, Creative Director for The Disinformation

Featuring a line-up of speakers drawing from the best of the underground

turn New York City's majestic Hammerstein Ballroom into an 11 hour
Technicolor dream house of revolutionary thought, visionary art and lysergic
lectures. The event will be "one part rave, one part performance, and one
part mind fuck," according to Metzger.
The event brings together many of today's most important thinkers including
Cyberculture pioneer RU Sirius, comic book artist Grant Morrison, elder
statesman of conspiriology Robert Anton Wilson, future culture "queen" of
all media Genesis P-Orridge, visionary artist Paul Laffoley, outsider artist
Joe Coleman, new media pundit Douglas Rushkoff, and Feral House publisher
Adam Parfrey and several other major names to be announced in ensuing
weeks...
The event will also feature a Conspiracy Theory Roundtable featuring
publisher and researcher Kenn Thomas, Robert Sterling, editor of The

Dean. Paleo-psychology and mass behavior expert Howard Bloom will present a
special video lecture. There will also be an exclusive preview of the new
Disinfo Nation TV series produced for Channel 4 in the UK, featuring a
behind the scenes look at the Montauk Project, a biographical short about
Timothy Leary, the brain damaged snuff film carnage of "Uncle Goddamn,"
Salvador Dali advertising Alka Seltzer and more!
