A Virus in the Venice Biennale
A group of artists and programmers will exhibit a new computer virus.
A virus is usually considered evil, chaos. But what happens when it is a
contemporary art temple to spread the chaos?
Conceived and compiled for the invitation to the 49th Venice Biennale,
"biennale.py" is the product of the collaboration of two entities,
0100101110101101.ORG and epidemiC, already known for other shocking
actions, often bordering with crime. "biennale.py" is both a work of art
and a computer virus.
The source code of the virus will be made public and spread on the
opening day of the Biennale, June 6th 2001, from the Slovenian Pavilion.
The main anti-virus software companies have already been informed about
the technical specifications of "bienale.py" and the disinstallation
instructions will be attached to the virus.
Computer viruses or self-reproducing programs behave according to the
same modus operandi of biological viruses: they attack an "organism",
that is a file, sometime to settle and install their own habitat, and in
other more rare cases, to destroy it. Viruses, thus, spread respecting
the species conservation laws and the survival instinct. A virus is.
More, a virus wants to exist instinctively and without mediations, and
it is just this the main and only function of "biennale.py": to survive.
The creation of a virus tout court, free and without an end or a goal,
is in the worst case a test, a survey on the limits of the Net, but in
the best case is a form of global counterpower, generally a
pre-political form, but that resists the strong powers, it puts them
under a new balance, it shakes and reassembles them. A new idea of a
"virus that is not just a virus" is gaining acceptance, and that it can
represent the outbreak of the social into the most social thing of all:
the Net.
Inside the Slovenian Pavilion it will be possible to read the source
code of "biennale.py" and test its functioning on a infected computer.
During the opening days of the Biennale thousands of t-shirts carrying
the source code of the program will show up. Paradoxically, such as in
biological viruses, "biennale.py" will spread not only through machines
but also through men. The paradox becomes even more clear if you think
that the virus, a vague and dangerous entity by definition, is for sale
to adventurous curators and collectors. To buy a computer virus is
probably on the most exciting investment one could make today.
The "biennale.py" fits perfectly with the context of the Pavilion of the
Slovenian Pavilion, that this year will present the Absolute One
project. With Absolute One the Slovenian Pavilion, starting from the
basic question on how the artist could consctructively operate and
actively respond to the globalization process, offers a strong and
optimistic signal instead of the spreading fatalism and of the idea of
inevitability. The artists that will represent Slovenia in the 49th
Venice Biennale, besides the forth mentioned ones, will be Vuk Cosic and
Tadej Pogacar. The new commissioner of the Slovenian Pavilion and
curator of the project is Aurora Fonda.

Neighbourhoods of the world
Concept
“Neighbourhoods of the world” is a new international network that aims to
create a new platform of different areas from all around their world. A
number of neighbourhoods will be adjoined virtually and create a new
community that wishes to build new strong and real relationships between
areas and between people. While virtual communities expand more and more
nowadays, at the same time they are accused that they tend to replace the
real geographical ones becoming actually a substitute of them. This project
wishes to readdress this subject starting off from the core of the
geographical vicinities. We are looking back to the nostalgic concept of the
neighbourhood that is being lost, aiming to recapture its sense and enliven
it. The art centers, the organizations that will undertake the work for this
project, need to reach out to the residents of the area and work with them
so as to reflect their view of their place and transfer these images to the
web site.
Structure
The neighbourhood can be a street and its surrounding area, a small
territory a kid may walk through every day, a small world that encloses the
residents’ most familiar images and every day life.
This project addresses to art centers, university departments, music places,
libraries, or other associations of any place in the world that are
interested to work on their neighbourhood. For the realization of the
project these centers need to discover the distinctive character their area
has and develop powerful relationships with the small surrounding community.
They need to become the dynamic cells of their neighbourhood and form a team
of people (residents, artists, professionals, students etc) that will work
together on the project. Each team will need to start an ongoing research
and gather material – videos, photographs, interviews, texts- where the
specific features of the area will be documented. As this material is to be
presented on line, the particular centers need to play a double role; acting
as the coordinators of the workgroup of their area on one hand and as an
intermediary between the area and the whole network on the other.
The material of each neighbourhood, after its first procession by the
project team will consist part of the site. The overall construction,
coordination and supervision of the site will be undertaken by Fournos
Center for Art and New Technologies, in Athens. Fournos, that is situated in
the area of Neapoli in Athens, will develop a project on its surrounding
neighbourhood.
In brief, the workgroup of Fournos can be described as the following:
1. Project Internal Team:
- - Project “Wizard” (Person that acts as a supervisor for the whole project
and plays a general overseeing role ensuring its development; is critical
for its overall development and success; inspires the on going process of
the work; negotiates with the external team)
- - Project “Anima” (Person that enlivens the spirit and the concept of the
project; is responsible for the ongoing process, defines the needs and the
steps; contacts and communicates with the other participant art centers;
cooperates with the artists and the other people who are working for the
site)
- - Project “Equilibrium Finder” (Person responsible to define the core
functionality and the architecture of the site. He needs to address the
needs of the audience visiting the site and to define the user experience.
As the site aims to create a web community , his task is to oversee its
development and keep the content of the site close both to its concept and
the needs of its users)
- - Project “Web Monster” (Equivalent to the Web Master but in a more extreme
sense. Person that takes the material on the area and rebuilds it; creates
the virtual neighbourhood that will be mostly based to the energy and the
fantasy of a place; edits the pieces together and subtracts anything
needless as trash, traffic signs or moody passengers…)
2. Project External Team:
- - Artists (Architect, Musician, Video Artist, Photographer,...)The
participation of artists is essential. It is preferable if they live or work
in the area. Their work inspired by the place can greatly influence the
development and the content of the site. e.g. a musician can capture and
record sounds from the vicinity.
- - Residents (Texts, photos by current habitants and newcomers )
- - Old people (Testimonies and thoughts from the past generation creating a
documentation on the internet of their view of the world, a world that fades
away)
- - Professionals (Reference to traditional professions that may be preserved
in the area from the past till nowadays)
- - Kids (Words, pictures, photographs taken by children will be included)
The virtual neighbourhoods will need to form a workgroup with a similar
structure. Persons taking the positions of the Project Equilibrium Finder
and the Project Web Monster may not be needed for the participant centers as
the overall development of the site lies mainly to Fournos’
responsibilities. The material gathered by the centers will be processed and
edited within Fournos Lab. However, the process of the material by a site
designer or an internal technical team can surely help before the data
reaches our technical support team. It is important to notice that all work
will take place within the center and that no external private company will
undertake the designing, construction and maintenance of the site. This is
to avoid any advertising interventions as well as possible alterations in
the content and appearance of the site. As the ongoing administration,
maintenance and modification of the site will be kept in-house, it becomes
clear that a close and steady cooperation between the participant centers
is necessary. A dynamic and creative network needs to be created that will
present several and different images of the various neighborhoods.
Features of the project
The site will be the main feature of the project as it will represent the
network of the neighbouhoods belonging to the new community. Each
participant neighbourhood will be represented virtually on the net. All
material gathered by the project team as images, texts and videos will be
accessible to users entering the site. From the first page a photo-picture
of the vicinity will offer links to all possible next steps. The user will
be able to click on several spots such as buildings, roads and people and
discover features related to the area. By clicking, for instance, on a
person appearing on the screen a video or a small text will pop up where the
particular resident will be saying his personal thoughts and memories, his
favorite place on the area etc. The profile of the resident, his name, age
and profession will be stated, giving the sense of a new acquaintance to the
people visiting the area. (e.g. Alison Parker, artist // Nick Papadakis,
student, 12 yrs old). Our aim is to give the info on the area mainly
through its residents. This is to avoid forming a mere archive or a database
on the area and to help creating a site that enlivens a particular space and
brings it closer to people’s eyes and mind.
A variety of information can be provided. If a person names also his
favorite food, a picture of it can be included and the recipe can also be
given. Likewise, images and texts related to the buildings, the flowers and
gardens, the small shops or other features will be presented on line. The
network created will enable users to pass at any moment from one
neighbourhood to another, as there will be a common general pattern for all
vicinities. For example, from the pop up video for the foods of one area,
links will be given for the foods of the other neighbourhoods as well.
In the context of the site a forum will also be created where various
subjects will be open for discussion. Through this new web community, we
want to encourage the communication and the exchanging of experiences
between people coming from different regions of the world. This community
can give birth to a new platform of creation and dialogue for artists,
residents, curators and all the visitors of the site. Users will be invited
to join discussions, send mails to each other or even have an on line chat
with other people.
Each person entering the site will have to register, state his username,
password and email. If they wish, they can also complete their own personal
profile, adding their interests and other characteristics. This will help
create an archive of profiles that will enable future communication. After
logging in, the user can visit the several neighbourhoods he wishes and view
what’s on line.
The travelling exhibition and the other events
An exhibition focusing on the distinctive features of the participating
neighbouhoods will be scheduled in the future time that will be hosted in
succession by the participant art centers. Along with the exhibition, other
events will be programmed each time; installations, performances, art events
and happenings will take place in several spots of a neighbourhood and
enliven it. These events will have a major contribution in the acquaintance
and the cooperation of the different areas. Artists will be invited to work
in the venues of the different neighbourhoods and work on projects that will
be co-curated by more than one art centers. The participation of the people
of the areas will also be essential. An exchange program between residents
can take place where people will be invited to visit neighbourhoods and meet
the people they may have been in contact with via the net. Most of these
events will be programmed to happen after the completion of the first year.
During the first year, that the project will be going through an
experimental phase smaller happenings or actions can be scheduled to bring
the different areas closer. One idea is for the teams of the art centers to
exchange gifts! Gifts to approach another community, like kids do in school
classes before Christmas…
To sum up, we hope that through the process of the project the participating
art centers and the neighbourhoods will succeed in: bringing the residents
closer to their area aknowledging its specific character; create a dynamic
group of residents, artists, professionals and people working in art centers
that will be able to work together and reach out to the community; create a
network of neighbourhoods and people from the world that will share their
views and experiences; offer a new territory for collaborations between
artists and art centers from all around the world that will turn more to the
neighbourhoods and will be inspired by them.
If you are interested in participating, please read the conditions for
participation that are attached and send us:
- - the profile of your association
- - the profile of the creative team that will undertake the work for the
project
- - a short text describing how you will develop the project on your
neighbourhood.

Jesse Bercowetz - Misunderstood
Jesse and I set up an experiment which utilized the gallery as a film set. It
was staged as a crime scene with blood and travel bags from Jesse and his new
wife's recent road trip across America -- accompanying this was a performance
by Jesse. At the opening he wasn't in attendance but rather around the
corner at a bar, very drunk and aggressively trying to raise money from
friends and gallery go'ers. We planned the show to foreshadow the events that
were going to take place and attract attention. The grizzly (real blood)
murder scene was visible from the storefront windows. The show "worked" and
on the opening day police came, checked it out, and took the bags. Jesse's
apartment was later ransacked. The 90th Precinct denied any involvement.
Luckily, an Australian film crew who just happened to be doing a piece on the
Williamsburg art scene for Aussie TV was on hand. They took an interest and
began documenting the events and then Jesse's family and circle of friends.
It proved an interesting way to see what people really think of Jesse, the
cops and much more. This show is an edited down version of over ten hours of
interviews.

"COUNTDOWNTOWN" eine Transaktion von BETACITY.DE
Im April 2000 veröffentlichte BETACITY.DE das Netzkunst-Projekt
smARTdomains unter www.galerie-der-stadt-stuttgart.de, das seither
als Schenkung der Sammlung der Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart zur
Verfügung steht.
Ziel des Projekts smARTdomains ist, eine öffentliche Diskussion um
das Nutzungskonzept der Galerie im Zuge des Neubaus anzuregen,
insbesondere im Hinblick auf die bevorstehende Nutzung des Internets.
Auf Wunsch der Galerie überschreibt BETACITY.DE am 31.07.2001 die
Domain www.galerie-der-stadt-stuttgart.de an die Stadt Stuttgart,
nicht zuletzt in der Hoffnung, die Eröffnung eines
zeitgenössischen "Online-Flügels" anzuregen.
Unter http://www.betacity.de/smartdomains/
werden während der Countdown-Phase SHOWS und aktuelle Informationen
eingestellt.

--------------------------------------------------
Wie kein zweites Medium bietet das Internet neue Möglichkeiten der
Interaktion und Partizipation, wie sie auch für öffentliche
Einrichtungen interessant geworden sind:
Mona: Hallo Herr Schily, was muss man sich unter "egovernment"
eigentlich genau vorstellen?
Otto Schily: Unter eGovernment muss man sich vorstellen, dass wir
auch die Möglichkeiten der Neuen Medien nutzen wollen. Damit soll den
Behörden die Arbeit erleichtert werden, wir wollen aber auch
transparenter und interaktiver werden.
http://www.t-online.de/cebit/inhalte/chacei014.htm
Auch die Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart ist eine öffentliche Einrichtung
und sollte mit dem Ausbau des eGovernments in
Stuttgart "interaktiver" werden. Eine gute Gelegenheit die Galerie in
diesem Sinne umzugestalten bietet der bevorstehende Neubau. Neue
Nutzungskonzepte und Betreiberstrukturen sind gefragt, wie sie in
anderen Kommunen bereits angestrebt werden. Eine wegweisende
Initiative startete die Stadt Dortmund, die unter art.net.dortmund.de
ein internationales Forum für Internetkunst plant:
http://www.art.net.dortmund.de/pressetext.htm
Bisher unternahm die Stadt Stuttgart keinen Versuch diesem Thema zu
diskutieren oder das Gespräch mit Medienkunstschaffenden zu suchen.
Pläne zur Eröffnung eines "Online-Flügels" für Internetkunst sind
nicht bekannt. BETACITY.DE wurde deshalb vor einem Jahr mit dem
Projekt smARTdomains initiativ und reservierte der Galerie, die bis
dahin über keine eigene Domain verfügte den Domainnamen www.galerie-
der-stadt-stuttgart.de. BETACITY.DE wird mit einem KK/Providerwechsel
am 31.07.2001 die Domain www.galerie-der-stadt-stuttgart.de der Stadt
schenken und hat anschließend keinen FTP-Zugang bzw. keine direkte
Gestaltungsmöglichkeit mehr. Das Projekt smARTdomains ist damit
selbstverständlich nicht abgeschlossen.

The Congress - Presentation
Community networks is a generic term used to define different kinds of uses
of
the Internet and the information technologies that transform our society. In
some countries, they are called differently, such as freenets, telecenters,
or
digital cities. However, in all cases, community networks gather people
willing
to use the new technologies for the renewal of their communities in the
digital
era. They are more than just a simple web: They are new forms of society. We
can
define community networks as a way of using the new technologies by various
local agents (association, town, neighborhood, indigenous community,
library,
young people's association, women's movement, etc.) as well as national and
even
global agents for the purpose of generating a social transformation, either
as
economic development, greater citizen involvement or lower social exclusion.
The Global CN congress is the annual meeting of the community networks from
all
over the world, as well as of people from different sectors interested in
their
promotion. These networks are new forms of civic associations in the digital
era. They play an extremely important role in the strengthening of social
networks, in any given population´s access to the knowledge and work
opportunities of the Information Society, in citizens´ participation in
local
policy making, in the generation of better working conditions, and in the
creation of companies with new production and service profiles.
These issues will be discussed at the II World Congress of Citizen
Networks -
Global CN 2001 to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between December 5 and
7,
2001. The event will gather members of the community, governmental,
political,
academic, and business sectors involved in the promotion of these citizen
networks, around a clear theme: "Renewing communities in the Digital Era".
Global CN 2001 is an initiative developed by Global CN Partnership, the
international alliance of organizations of citizen networks of Europe, USA,
Canada, in collaboration with community networks in the United States,
Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican
Republic, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, India and Africa.
Global CN 2001 aims to encourage the building of community networks around
the world, based upon strategic alliances with the various organizations of
civil society, the State, private enterprises and universities. These
alliances
are oriented towards the construction of the Information Society´s new
communities. These communities are built through the articulation of the
initiatives of the sectors involved, the exchange of methodologies,
programs,
processes, and the production of new knowledge.
Global CN 2001 in Buenos Aires
This second congress is the first one in Latin America, after the Global CN
2000
in Europe. We expect it to be a landmark in the evolution of citizen
networks,
not only for the level of the issues and participants in the debate, but
also
because it is a joint undertaking of all the social and political sectors,
without which it will not be possible to build a society with equitable
access
to information.
This II World Congress of Citizen Networks, hosted by Buenos Aires, will
gather for the first time in Argentina the efforts of the major political
and economic players of provinces -through CFI, Consejo Federal de
Inversiones / Federal Council of Investments-, together with the academic
and research sector involved in the main subjects of discussion represented
by
the Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani / Gino Germani Research
Institute,
of the School of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires, and the
main
information and communication technology / ICT companies, represented by
CICOMRA, the Chamber of Information Technology and Communications of the
Argentine Republic. Global CN 2001 is supported by an international
Consultative
Committee and an international Executive Secretariat.
The II World Congress of Citizen Networks is the continuation of Global CN
2000, which took place in Barcelona in November 2000. Information and
communication technologies -which meet on the Internet- are showing great
potential for the economic and social development of communities. This calls
for
the strengthening of an information society for everyone, which must be
jointly
encouraged by the various social, political and business sectors.
It is in the above setting that Buenos Aires will receive, next December,
representatives from institutions of around the world. Global CN 2001 will
include conferences with key international speakers, roundtable discussions,
workshops, videos, a community organization exhibition, and other
activities. In
forthcoming communications, we will keep you informed about the general
organization, the program, logistics and other issues of your concern.

Subject: e-mail art and maps
"Different new maps have been drawn for this occasion by artists, maps
that serve mostly to enrich our imagination and creativity, not to
produce antagonisms and war. These maps and their authors should be
welcome as open minded statements on mappings of the powerful, sometimes
critical, sometimes humorous..." Andrej Tisma.
I would like to announce the completion of 'E-mail art, Mapping' at
http://www.chelt.ac.uk/ah/degreeshow/me
contributions were recieved from 27 International artists on the theme of
mapping. This project began with a call to artists approached either
directly or through mailing lists, online and off. The original message
asked for artworks, on the subject of maps and mapping, to be delivered via
email and/or 'snail' mail. The majority of the contributions were sent
through email although some postal entries were received. in using both
traditional and tecnologically advanced communications and distributive
systems for the realisiation for this project a dialogue has been created
between the two, reinforcing their relationship and similarities.
Forewords by Daniel Stringer and Andrej Tisma.

Subject: CULT 2001 - Copenhagen, October 3-5, 2001 - ANNOUNCEMENT
CULT 2001
Exploring an interface between Cultural heritage, Net art and State of the
art projects
Copenhagen, October 3-5, 2001
New Culture and visions of collaborative culture
Old structural barriers have been transgressed on the cultural scene, due to
the digital economy and the new media strategies. New creative models of
collaboration emerge between institutions preserving cultural heritage,
performing arts creating new expressions, and information technology
providing tools of communication.
The interface between Cultural Heritage, Net Art and State of the art
projects is new. It is both innovative, challenging and a critical vehicle
for issues concerning collaboration, communication and dissemination
strategies in modern societies.
CULT 2001
CULT 2001 wishes to establish a platform for discussions and reflections on
these new visions of collaboration and dissemination strategies. Central
keynote speakers from major cultural institutions, as well as international
net artists and computer scientists will provide the basis for this
platform.
A central experience of this conference will be the manifestation of
national and international cultural networks, and national CultureNets that
brings together institutions dealing with Cultural Heritage, Net Art and
State of the Art technology.
CULT 2001 offers an opportunity to reflect on this cultural interface. This
opportunity is aimed widely at international cultural institutions,
organisations for technology and the visual arts, web oriented artists and
curators, as well as already existing national CultureNets.
We invite artists, theorists, the cultural sector, festival organisers and
new media industry people to meet, discuss and reunite within the framework
set by international keynote speakers. There will be plenty of opportunities
to reflect further on the future of this new cultural interface in parallel
sessions and social events during these two days in Copenhagen.

The Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, Ca, is looking for films
and videotapes concerning issues of the Human Genome. These works can
be traditional or experimental in form, but should address, at least
marginally, such genomic topics as biotechnology, cloning, eugenics,
frankenfood, chimera, transgenic species, boutique babies.
The works selected will travel to at least two sites as a
complement to a museum exhibition on the Genome. All works selected
will be given a modest honorarium. Please contact Steve Seid, Video
Curator, Pacific Film Archive, no later than July 15. Seid is
available at 510/642-5253 or at this e-mail address.

net.congestion - The Web Launch
Friday, June 8, 2001
De Balie - Salon
Doors & streams open @ 20.00 hrs (Local Amsterdam Time)
GMT: 19.00
LAT: 20.30 : Official launch of the web archive
GMT: 19.30
During the past months an on-line web archive has been built of
net.congestion, the International Festival of Streaming Media, which was
organised in Amsterdam in October 2000. As far as possible all the debates,
workshops and presentations of the festival have been included in the
archive. Besides these archived streaming components the on-line archive
also contains all the texts of largely sold-out festival reader, the web
journal, interviews and other source materials.
LAT: 21.00 : Live on-line - looking good
GMT: 20.00
A kaleidoscope of projects that were present during the net.congestion
festival will be presented during the evening. All contributions will be
made live on-line via the internet from various locations shattered around
the globe: E-Lab / RIXC (Riga/Latvia), Radio 90 / Sleeping Buffalo
(Indigenous net.radio) from Banff, Canada, Open Streaming Alliance (New
York), House of Laudanum (Sydney), Consolidated Works / HugeCaster
(Seattle), Sarai (Delhi), and others have been asked to make an on-line
contribution to this program, and share some of their views and insights
into the future of streaming media for arts, culture and activism.
LAT: 22.30 : net.radio.web.tv.night
GMT: 21.30
The remote presentations will flow into the net.radio.web.tv.night: a
transcontinental re-mix and live-jam of images, sound and digital data
structures, presented as a virtual audio-visual planetary Ping-Pong match
via the internet. The net.radio.night is a well established concept of the
xchange network of net.broadcasters, a world-wide coalition of sound and
media artists who investigate the internet as a medium for live
audio-visual transmissions.
The evening program in Amsterdam will take place in an informal atmosphere
with drinks, projected live streams and chatrooms and on-site musical
improvisations.
Seattle promises to organise a rich-media lunch, about the other locations
we have no reliable data as yet.
- -> chill out in the post-dot-com new media jungle!
