V2_East / Syndicate Newsletter 96/03 - Introduction - General info about the Syndicate list - Dates of upcoming events - Documentation Meeting - Institutions - Subscription * Introduction * This is the third Syndicate Newsletter. It contains some abridged versions of information that has been posted via the list before, and some new stuff. Please, continue using the list <syndicate@aec.at> for posting info that is of interest to the media art community in East and West Europe. The V2_EAST WEBSITE <http://www.v2.nl/east/> is slowly growing now, and we would like to invite the submission of links, descriptions of your work, projects and institutions. The DOCUMENTATION MEETING in Rotterdam in September which was first announced a couple of weeks ago is featured again here. The first responses have been very positive and it would be great if you could also send us references to archives, ideas for the themes to be covered by the meeting, and contacts to people who have archival material about media art in Eastern Europe. The benefits of the inventory of such materials which we want to create and make available online are obvious. Best wishes, and see you soon, Andreas Broeckmann (V2_East) * General info about the Syndicate list * <syndicate@AEC.at> is the address of a mailing list which is dedicated to an exchange of information and ideas relating to the situation and future development of electronic and media art in Eastern Europe. The list members include artists, curators, networkers, writers, festival organisers, etc., from East as well as West European countries and beyond, who, through the 'Syndicate', are trying to improve the communication and cooperation between artists and organisations in East and West. The list was first installed following the initial meeting of the V2_East initiative at V2_Organisation in Rotterdam on January 21, 1996, at the end of the second Next 5 Minutes conference. * Dates of (some) upcoming events (info below/in Newsletter 96/..)* - April 1996 (24-27) Ars Digitalis, Berlin/D - April 1996 (26-30) World Wide Video Festival, Den Haag/NL (96/02) - May 1996 (2-5) WRO96, Wroclaw/PL (96/02) - June 1996 (6-9) 5Cyberconf, Madrid/ES - September 1996 (2-7) Ars Electronica Festival, Linz/AT (96/02) - September 1996 (4-8) Film-Video-Forum/Passagen, Freiburg/DE (96/02) - September 1996 (5-9) Cluster Images, Werkleitz/DE (96/02) - September 1996 (11-15) European Media Art Festival, Osnabrueck/DE (96/02) - September 1996 (16-20) Inter-Society of Electronic Arts, 7th Conf., Rotterdam/NL (96/02) - September 1996 (17-22) Dutch Electronic Art Festival, Rotterdam/NL (96/02) (incl.

The meeting wants to make a first step in the direction of mapping the historical material available in different places. It will bring together an international group of researchers, curators, artists and archivists who will exchange information about existing archives and documentation sources, about storage media and about the functionality of archives. The objective of the meeting will be to draw up an inventory of such sources, and to discuss ways of making the existing material more easily accessible. We want to create a publication (on floppy disk) and an online data base (on the World Wide Web) which will contain the information currently available, and which can be extended in the future. The meeting will consist of two half-day sessions: (1) Public session with presentations about the history, documentation, and archival situation relating to media art in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe. This session will aim to provide an overview over the development of media art in the past 25 years, it will outline the themes covered by existing research, and will try to pinpoint areas which deserve the attention of art and media historians. The session will provide researchers with an historical framework, and will serve to offer an interested public with a rare opportunity to get insights into this largely unknown field of European art. (2) Specialised workshop session in which researchers, curators and archivists will talk and exchange information about the bibliography, collections, archives, data bases, etc., relating to media art in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe. The workshop will seek to draw up an inventory of existing sources and will tackle problems of access, publication, and the compatibility of different research tools. Call for contributions In order for the meeting to be successful, we should in a joint effort use the coming six months to begin collecting the information which many of us have and which can form the basis of our discussions in September. As much of this information as possible will be made available prior to the meeting. We therefore request the submission of information relating to: - existing published and online information sources; - contributions to a complete and commented bibliography of media art in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe; - archive contacts and information; - names and addresses of researchers and institutions we should get in touch with. We also invite the submission of proposals for contributions to the September meeting and suggestions for the themes that the meeting should cover. As indicated above, these should especially relate to the history and historiography of media art in different parts of Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, to particular traditions, and to the general problems of documentation in the field. If you need an official letter of invitation to be able to apply for travel grants and visa, please, get in touch with us.
