[Nettime-nl] overzicht van nettime aktiviteiten (in het engels) |
Dear nettimers, because of the very exciting launch of nettime-zh, the Chinese nettime list and webforum, here an overview of the nettime lists and current activities. Ciao, Geert --- www.nettime.org In 2001 the nettime server (partially) moved from Cologne (KHM) to Amsterdam. The Society for Old and New Media (www.waag.org) is sponsoring the server and traffic. A new machine was bought which now easily accessible for Michael van Eeden, the sysop, who is based in Amsterdam. One technical detail: unlike in the past the nettime search engine does not automatically search the entire database if you type in a key word. It only looks in the information of the last month. The database has become too big. Nettime-l The english-language list is the oldest (created in 1995) and largest of all nettime lists. nettime-l is moderated, currently by Ted Byfield (NYC), Andrea Mayr (Vienna), Scott McPhee (Sydney), and Felix Stalder (Toronto). In its normal and digest format, the list has close to 2500 subscribers. In addition, there are some 100 brave subscribers of the un-moderated version, nettime-bold. Nettime-l runs on majordomo, a long list of procmail recipes, and goodwill. Email facilities are sponsored by The Thing (http://bbs.thing.net). The most recent paper publication to come out of nettime-l was initiated by Vuk Cosic as part of his catalogue for the Slovenian Pavillion at the 2001 Venice Biennale (http://www.nettime.org/publications.html). Nettime-nl Started in late 1996 nettime-nl is the first non-English nettime list. It had a slow started in the first years but picked up in a really interesting way in 2000-2001. Nettime-nl now has almost 500 subscribers, is still open and found a good balance between announcements and debates. Menno Grootveld (rabotnik@xs4all.nl) has been its moderator since January 2000. Because of recent debates about globalization and the role of indymedia there are plans to organize a public debate around these topics. Nettime-ro The Romanian language list - launched in the beginning of 2000, now has over 300 subscribers. The list is based mostly on the Romanian contemporary art scene debates and announcements. It is proud to announce the publication of the first 'nettime-ro / text book' with texts from the list, produced by the list moderator, Alexandru Patatics (ap@ambient.dnttm.ro). Nettime-fr nettime-fr was launched in november 99. The moderators are Nathalie Magnan, Nicolas Maleve and Aris Papathéodorou. Traffic on the list is rather low. There are currently 260 subscribers. Nettime-fr almost died in 2001 but then picked up again after 911. The discussion list closest to nettime-fr would be multitude, but which does not have either an Internet or new media arts focus. If you would like to get involved in nettime-fr and would like to give the list a new direction, please contact one of moderators. Nettime-lat Nettime-lat: In August 2000 the Spanish/Portugese nettime list started and has had a turbulent life ever since, creating a network of communication within people of such different realities and tones of latinidad (and spanish/portuguese speakers) from New York to Barcelona, México and beyond, all the way to East Europe. The list now has over 500 subscribers from America and Europe, and is moderated by David Casacuberta, Ricardo Dominguez, Fran Ilich, and Ana Viseu. Nettime-zh After a period of beta-testing the 'Chinese' nettime list has now officially been launched (see seperate announcement). Nettime-j Preparations are under way for a nettime list in the Japanese language. There is a nettime-j meeting planned in Tokyo for early March. The list could be launched in two months from now. ______________________________________________________ * Verspreid via nettime-nl.
