Subject: New Media Arts | New Funding Models Rockefeller report
Hello,
I'm pleased to announce the availability of my report New Media Arts | New
Funding Models prepared for the Rockefeller Foundation Creativity & Culture
Division. The New Media Arts | New Funding Models report investigates the
current state of funding for new media artists. The emphasis is on the
support structures for innovative creative work that uses advance
technologies as the main medium for artistic practice.
Twenty-three individual artists/innovators, organizers, directors, and
foundation program officers involved in the international new media arts
community were interviewed. Participants were asked a number of questions
regarding how they frame new media art, concerns from the field, funding
histories, and concepts for funding models. Several participants are
involved in new initiatives that bridge the for-profit and non-profit
funding sectors including artists' research centers, innovative business
models, new approaches for traditional funding sources, incubators, venture
funding, and leveraging community assets.
Survey Participants include Peter Anders, Mindspace.net; Roy Ascott,
CAiiA-STAR; Marc Beam, Creative Disturbance; Kevin Cunningham, 3-legged Dog
Media and Theater Group; Elizabeth M. Daley, School of Cinema-Television,
University of Southern California; Sara Diamond, Banff Centre for the Arts;
Andrea DiCastro, Centro Multimedia; Steve Dietz, Walker Arts Center; Kevin
Duggan, Arts Consultant; Jean Gagnon, Daniel Langlois Foundation; Cynthia
Gehrig, Jerome Foundation; Carl Goodman, Museum of the Moving Image; Lisa
Haskel, Tech_nicks; Ruby Lerner, Creative Capital Foundation; Geert Lovink,
Media Interventionist; Alyce Myatt, formerly of the MacArthur Foundation;
Laurant Mignonneau, Artist; Marcos Novak, Trans-Architect; Jeannine Parker,
Business Consultant; Jonathan Peizer, Soros Foundation; Debby Silverfine,

Subject: review: Hertzian Tales
H E R T Z I A N T A L E S :
Electronic Products, Aesthetic Experience
and Critical Design
Anthony Dunne
a.dunne@rca.ac.uk
http://www.crd.rca.ac.uk/dunne-raby/
Computer Related Design's
Critical Design Unit,
Royal College of Art, c.1999
ISBN: 1 874175 27 6
It is my great pleasure to be able to share
my views on a substantial piece of work in
the cultural investigation of electromagnetic
phenomena, natural, artificial, and virtual.
What is so refreshing is that this book does
not merely repackage old ideas and ideologies
about technological enthusiasm, but instead
questions them, through thinking, writing,
and design. If works in the past have been
groundbreaking, this is a literal penetration
of the design field by Hertzian radio waves.
Anthony Dunne, with written and visual clarity,
gives dozens of examples of previous attempts
by industrial designers, artists, and architects
to grapple with the more philosophical aspects
of designing electronic products. This research
in itself makes the book an invaluable resource.
But interestingly this is where the book begins
in its critical approach, leveraging serious and
relevant criticism of much work to date. This is
because traditional notions of design have been
mapped onto the new electronic object, in effect
unquestioningly repackaging them for a totally
different paradigm of electronic reality these
new technologies help create and could themselves
help reveal, through a new design awareness.
Mr. Dunne refers to architecture and fine art
as inspirations for industrial designers whom
are looking for meaning beyond the commercial
marketplace alone. A place where investigating
design ideas, as non-commercial ideas, can be
encouraged as a way of exploring and furthering
the aesthetic development of electronic products,
and thus peoples awareness of them in their more
poetic dimensions.
From a paradoxical perspective, one of the most
basic and interesting aspects of Dunne's work is
also somewhat difficult to accept, in total. It
is that the electronic object can be designed
as a `post-optimal' object, meaning an object
that exists beyond its optimization through
its design. It is this proposition which launches
one into a new world of electronic awareness, and
its active interrogation through design thinking.
The difficulty comes with the assumption that is
the basis for the post-optimized object, which is
that which is most often at odds with critical
thinking. From one perspective, the optimal may
still be a critical and unresolved issue, well
beyond aesthetics and into the economic, social,
and political aspects of the electronic object.
For example, a computer may be aesthetically
optimized, such as the iMac by Apple, but it
may still use the inefficient, polluting, and
wasteful systems of obsolescence as most all
of the other electronic products on the market.
Thus, in this respect, the critical aspects of
the industrial design of electronic objects must
remember the infrastructure which makes and
distributes and disposes of these very objects.
Doing so reminds one that things are far from
optimized in terms of their design.
But this fact does not limit the importance of
the ideas that are expressed based on the design
of electronics past that of their optimization.
For Mr. Dunne it is about awareness. Not just
of the object, but the object as a type of portal
into a new way of perceiving the electromagnetic
space of Hertzian waves, outside the confines of
traditional media, such as radio and television.
Instead of answering what this new design should
be like, Mr. Dunne makes it clear that this is
instead a question to be explored by many people
through critical design.
Mr. Dunne's writing is both smooth and densely packed
with ideas, so much so that it is very difficult to
try to re-rationalize the text with its own complex
reasoning. But this is not to say that the thinking
is just another private language and perspective.
It is most definitely not, and his public conscience
is revealed in every chapter, reminding the reader
why design investigations of electronic objects need
to be made, and these are for their social and their
cultural impacts, and our need to understand them
better so that we can design the electromagnetic
world we want to exist within.
That this commitment is not simply about equating
aesthetics with beauty is actively demonstrated in the
acknowledgement of the dark side of electromagnetism,
in the author's own works based upon this thinking.
Using radio scanners Mr. Dunne maps the spaces emitted
by 'objects that dream', that is, electronic objects
such as baby intercoms, electronic bugs, and cordless
phones which invisibly leak their information out past
traditional boundaries of buildings, and into Dunne's
moving car, scanning neighborhoods from the streets.
Likewise, the `gauss meter' becomes a design tool in
the hands of Mr. Dunne, and electromagnetic fields
(EMFs) are measured and mapped for their dreaminess,
and become research for critical design thinking.
If there is an analogy to this type of designing, it
might be that of gravity. That, like planets, while
we may find electronic products attractive, they too
are attracting us without our knowing of this force
or of its impact upon our daily lives. In summary,
Anthony Dunne's Hertzian Tales is about designing
ways of knowing the electromagnetic environment we
exist within, and establishing a poetic interaction
with it through purposeful and critical designs which
help establish a cultural awareness of electromagnetism.

ABOUT THE PANELISTS:
ANDY DECK: makes public art for the Internet that
resists generic categorization: collaborative
drawing spaces, game-like search engines,
problematic interfaces, informative art. Deck has
made art software since 1990, initially using it
to produce short films. Since 1994, he has worked
with the Web using the sites artcontext.com and
andyland.net. An avid critic of corporate
culture and militarism, Deck's hybrid news-art
projects have addressed a variety of issues that
are regularly misrepresented in the mass media.
In the interest of preserving this available
alternative media, and sensing the drift of the
Internet toward a marketing and entertainment
medium, he has allied himself with open source
software developers, optimizing his work for use
with the Linux operating system, and publishing
source code for much of his software. His works
have been exhibited at: Art on the Net (Machida
City Museum, Tokyo), Net_Condition (ZKM,
Karlsruhe, Germany), War Bulletin Board
(Postmaster's Gallery, NYC), Graffic Jam
(Thing.net, NYC) 1998 Prix Ars Electronica (Linz,
Austria), Mac Classics (Postmaster's Gallery,
NYC). Andy studied for a Post-diplôme, at the
Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs,
Paris; and received his MFA in Computer Art at
School of Visual Arts, NYC. He has taught at the
Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo, Sarah
Lawrence College, and New York University.
Currently he teaches at the School of Visual
Arts.

While most other collaborative teams present
their work as a "unified front," Joline Blais,
Keith Frank, and Jon Ippolito create
installations, books, and Web projects that
emphasize physical, verbal, or mental struggles
among the three participants. They have exhibited
their work at galleries such as Sandra Gering and
Storefront for Art + Architecture in New York as
well as in a variety of online contexts such as
the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. In 1996
they received a DNP Achievement Award for their
work Agree to Disagree Online, developed with the
assistance of Joline Blais. 1997 they received a
Louis Comfort Tiffany Prize for their body of
work. In 1993 Jon curated Virtual Reality: An
Emerging Medium. Since then, as Assistant Curator
of Media Arts at the Guggenheim, Ippolito has
curated and coordinated exhibitions that explore
the intersection of contemporary art and new
media. He is the ongoing curator of the
CyberAtlas project on the Guggenheim Web site, a
compendium of maps of cyberspace developed with
outside curators. His writing on the cultural and
aesthetic implications of new media has appeared
in the Art Journal, art/text, Flash Art, and
ArtByte, for which he writes a regular column

Subject: a logo for the counter-summit OECD - Naples, Mach 2001
To mad writers the whole world over, to demonically possessed artists,
telematic painters, and all men and women of good will:
In March 2001 the mighty of the world, on occasion of the OECD Global
Forum, will be here in Naples to discuss the reform of public
administration and a phantomatic "electronic government" (e-governance).
We - social action centers, associations, struggle movements in Naples and the
Campania Region - are organizing a welcome for these august personages.
There is a lot of preparation to be done, so we appeal specifically to you
because we believe that your abilities and creativity can be a further
weapon at the disposal of the movements in the struggle against economic
neo-liberalism.
The first thing to do, in this perspective, is to come up with a logo for
the counter-summit. Locally we have collected some ideas, a few sketches,
but we thought it would be useful and interesting to get as many people as
possible involved in this task, even internationally.
So, do we offer any guidlines for a logo?
None, except the subject (against the Global Forum), the date of the
meeting (15/17 March 2001), the place (Naples, Italy), and the theme
(e-governance).
Our thanks to all those who get involved. We greet you. Our meeting places
are Davos, Naples, or wherever the Seattle winds may blow.

Subject: Jordan Crandall at The Kitchen
Jordan Crandall
Drive (Tracks 3 & 4)
January 5 - 26, 2001
Opening reception: Friday, January 5, 6-8pm
The Kitchen
512 West 19th Street (between 10th & 11th Aves), New York
(212) 255-5793
Free Admission
New York-based media artist Jordan Crandall will present two excerpts
from Drive - a seven-part series of large-scale video installations
commissioned by Peter Weibel for the Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum
Joanneum in Graz, Austria. The excerpts that will be presented are
Track 3 ("compulsion/registration") and Track 4 ("matrix:
father/child/witness").
Drive uses both cinematic technologies and military surveillance
techniques to investigate the pervasive, controlling systems that
"drive" the act of seeing. In addition to this technics of control,
Drive looks at the new kinds of sensate worlds that begin to arise.
These involve new couplings of humans and machines; new senses of
intimacy and invasive pleasures that usurp private space; and new forms
of simultaneously seeing and being seen -- which are helping to change
the contours of the body, its desires, and is sense of orientation in
the world.
After their debut at the Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz
one year ago, these works have been presented at numerous institutions
in Europe and Japan, including the ZKM in Karlshrue; ARTLAB-Spiral
Gallery in Tokyo; the Museo de Arte Carillo Gil in Mexico City; the
Neuer Berliner Kunstverein in Berlin; and the Centre d'Art Contemporain
de Basse-Normandie. In January, they will also be presented at the TENT
Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam, in conjunction with V2
Organization and the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
TV DINNER No. 10: Jordan Crandall
Saturday, January 20, 6pm
$20 (includes dinner)
Reservation required
Moderated by Lawrence Rinder, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Whitney
Museum of American Art
For its tenth episode, The Kitchen's popular TV Dinner series features
Jordan Crandall, renowned artist and theorist on the politics of power
in new technology systems. Crandall talks about Drive (1998-2000) and
Heatseeking (1999-2000) -- two media installations in which traditional
16mm film technology is combined with technologies of combat to point at
the power dynamics around contemporary moving images: sites where body
and sensorium are adjusted, oriented, "armed," and contoured within
complex new formats of movement.
TV Dinner series @ The Kitchen
Launched in the fall of 1998, TV Dinner series invites groundbreaking
video and new media artists to show their work and share their thoughts
in the informal atmosphere of The Kitchen's second floor theatre. The
audience meets the artists over screenings of work and a vegetarian
dinner provided by a neighborhood restaurant. Artists featured in past
TV Dinners include Joan Logue, Lynn Hershman, Gary Hill, Takahiko

Subject: india2001: Listing of a wide-range of Indian sites
Greetings at the start of the year 2001. These wishes come from
www.bytesforall.org, a voluntary venture that is trying to focus on how
IT and the Internet can be -- and is being -- made relevant to the
commonman (and woman) in South Asia.
Towards this end, we have compiled a list of 2001 Indian (and a few
from the wider South Asian region) web sites. If you'd like a free copy
of this, just send an email to fred@bytesforall.org with
i2001LISTREQUEST as the subjectline. Also mention your name and address
in the body of the message. This listing is in HTML format and is
approx 300KB in size.
It lists sites from the field of academia (including asian studies -
careers - colleges - colleges - education - research - social service -
universities); agriculture; alternative-india; art & culture;
automobiles; banks; books; business (including industry, stocks,
infrastructure, trade, exports); communications (including in regional
languages); consulates of India abroad; cooking and food; e-commerce;
entertainment; expatriate indians; government (specific links to
various departments); health (advice, aids, ayurveda, blood banks
online, cancer, child development, corporates in health, disabilities,
doctors, elderly, facilities, health care, homeopathy, hospitals,
journals, leprosy, libraries online, medicine, pharmaceuticals, public
health, resources, tibetan medicine, yoga...); infrastructure;
IT-India's infotech industry; job-sites; law-related links;
matrimonials; media; music; neighbours of India; news-sites;
newspapers; portals (on a range of themes); regional sites;
religion-based sites; sports; tourism & travel; women and youth sites.
Coincidentally, this listing has 2001 sites included.
We plan to also build a list of other sites from other South Asia
countries, and seek partners for this venture. If you would like us to
include sites which you feel should be in such a listing, please send
us details of the same.
Regards and best wishes, Frederick fred@bytesforall.org

The Second
Edinburgh
Financial Cryptography
Engineering Conference
22-23 June, 2001
The Signet Library
Parliament Square
Edinburgh, Scotland
C A L L F O R P R E S E N T A T I O N S
Edinburgh is again host to the international *engineering* conference
on Financial Cryptography. Individuals and companies active in the
field are invited to present and especially to demonstrate Running
Code that pushes forward the "state of the art".
STATEMENT OF INTENT
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics,
is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or
to evade truth, not to reveal it."
-- John Kenneth Galbraith,
Money: Whence it came, where it went - 1975, p15
This is a technical, practical meet. Presentations of demonstrable
technology in the field of Financial Cryptography are invited. As this
is a practical conference, we are hoping to accept every demonstrator.
THE VENUE
Our Venue is the Upper Library, within the Signet Library, which is a
listed building housing the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet.
This exclusive conference venue is located in the centre of Edinburgh,
within the Royal Mile.
ADMINISTRATION
Included in the conference admission will be breakfast, lunch and
tea & coffee breaks. Also included will be the conference dinner
in a local Edinburgh establishment.
The conference administration will block-book a convenient hotel
in the centre of town. Details to be advised.
NEXT STEPS FOR PRESENTERS
1. Save the dates 22/23 June, Friday and Saturday on your calendar.
It is good to plan on a few extra days, and especially, leaving on
the day after, Sunday, will help to get the best fares.
2. Prepare your presentation. Check the
<a href="http://www.efce.net/programme.html">evolving programme</a>.
Propose your presentation by mailing the Programme Chair,
<a href="mailto:programme@efce.net"> Ian Grigg </a>.
3. Book passage to Edinburgh. Don't forget to stay a few days on either
side to see the sights. Check the site for Locatives and Logistics.
4. Work on your presentation. Remember, the main rule is that you
demo working code.
5. Get your budget approved / allocated / applied for. Whilst a
commercial conference, accepted presenters will pay a deeply
discounted fee, to be announced in a forthcoming release. For
planning purposes, 200 GBP (approximately 300 dollars or 320
euros) should cover presenter's admission; the hotel should be
about 100 GBP ($150 or E160) per night.
Also include travel and incidentals in your budget.
6. The call for delegates -- attendees who do not present -- will
by published at a later date. If there is someone in your
organisation who needs to survey the state of the financially
cryptographic art, they can attend as a delegate. For planning
purposes, 500 GBP ($750 or E800) should cover the delegate's
admission.
7. If you think the conference can benefit your organisation,
consider sponsoring. Contact the Sponsorship Chair
<a href="mailto:sponsor@efce.net"> Rachel Willmer </a>
for more details.
8. Keep an eye on the <a href="http://www.efce.net/"> conference web site </a>
for evolving details.

> > > > Synopsis: The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project began December 30, 1994. A
`round-the-clock posting of sequenced hypermodern imagery from Brad Brace.
The hypermodern minimizes the familiar, the known, the recognizable; it
suspends identity, relations and history. This discourse, far from
determining the locus in which it speaks, is avoiding the ground on which
it could find support. It is trying to operate a decentering that leaves
no privilege to any center.
The 12-hour ISBN JPEG Project
-----------------------------
began December 30, 1994
Pointless Hypermodern Imagery... posted/mailed every 12 hours... a
spectral, trajective alignment for the 00`s! A continuum of minimalist
masks in the face of catastrophe; conjuring up transformative metaphors
for the everyday... A poetic reversibility of exclusive events...
A post-rhetorical, continuous, apparently random sequence of
imagery... genuine gritty, greyscale... corruptable, compact,
collectable and compelling convergence. The voluptuousness of the grey
imminence: the art of making the other disappear. Continual visual impact;
an optical drumming, sculpted in duration, on the endless present of the
Net.
An extension of the printed ISBN-Book (0-9690745) series... critically
unassimilable... imagery is gradually acquired, selected and re-sequenced
over time... ineluctable, vertiginous connections. The 12hr dialtone...
[ see ftp.idiom.com/users/bbrace/netcom/books.txt ]
KEYWORDS: >> Disconnected, disjunctive, distended, de-centered,
de-composed, ambiguous, augmented, ambilavent, homogeneous, reckless...
>> Multi-faceted, oblique, obsessive, obscure, obdurate...
>> Promulgated, personal, permeable, prolonged, polymorphous, provocative,
poetic, plural, perverse, potent, prophetic, pathological, pointless...
>> Emergent, evolving, eccentric, eclectic, egregious, exciting,
entertaining, evasive, entropic, erotic, entrancing, enduring,
expansive...
Every 12 hours, another!... view them, re-post `em, save `em,
trade `em, print `em, even publish them...

~ This interminable, relentless sequence of imagery began in earnest on
December 30, 1994. The basic structure of the project has been over
twenty-four years in the making. While the specific sequence of
photographs has been presently orchestrated for more than 12 years` worth
of 12-hour postings, I will undoubtedly be tempted to tweak the ongoing
publication with additional new interjected imagery. Each 12-hour posting
is like the turning of a page; providing ample time for reflection,
interruption, and assimilation.
~ The sites listed above also contain information on other cultural
projects and sources.
~ A very low-volume, moderated mailing list for announcements and
occasional commentary related to this project has been established at
topica.com /subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg

This project has not received government art-subsidies. Some
opportunities still exist for financially assisting the publication of
editions of large (33x46") prints; perhaps (Iris giclees) inkjet
extended-black quadtones on newsprint! Other supporters receive rare
copies of the first three web-offset printed ISBN-Books.
