A Dialogue: Timothy Druckrey and Mark Stafford
Friday, November 22, 2002 7 PM
@ Parsons Center for New Design
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
New York, NY 10011
Live Webcast @ http://netart-init.org starts 7pm EST.
The Question Concerning Media Technology
The history of media theory has been primarily rooted in attempts to
legitimize the potential of surfaces and effects as signifiers of the
'radical' possibilities of representation. This privileging of form, or, in
the 'media arts,' the implementation of form as effect, creates vexing
problems that differentiate between communication and expression.
This 'difference' emerges time-and-again in the development of 'theories' of
interactivity and so-called 'net.art.' Because of the intricate reciprocity
evident in an 'art of exchanges,' a theory of media cannot adequately frame
issues without a rethinking of representation in terms of its transformed
function, its shifting relationship with visibility, its probing of the
'immaterial,' its reformulation of reception (and cognition), its
understanding of the 'mechanization of the world picture,' or its
conceptualization of a philosophy rather than a theory of communication.
This dialogue will pose the issue in discursive form and on examples of
works that rupture or disrupt the flow of effects...
Timothy Druckrey is a curator, writer, and editor living in New York
City. He lectures internationally about the social impact of electronic
media, the transformation of representation, and communication in
interactive and networked environments. He co-organized the
international symposium Ideologies of Technology at the Dia Center of
the Arts and co-edited the book Culture on the Brink: Ideologies of
Technology (Bay Press). He curated the exhibition Iterations: The New
Image at the International Center of Photography and edited the book by
the same name published by MIT Press. He edited Electronic Culture:
Technology and Visual Representation and is Series Editor for Electronic
Culture: History, Theory, Practice published by the MIT Press that
includes Ars Electronica: Facing the Future, net_condition: art and
global media, Dark Fiber (by Geert Lovink), and Future Cinema: the
Cinematic Imaginary after Film (edited by Jeffrey Shaw and Peter Weibel)
and The Un-archaeology of the Media (by Siegfreid Zielinski) both
forthcoming.
Mark Stafford is a psychoanalyst and a member of Apres-Coup Psychoanalytic
Association. His recent research work has focused on the relationship
between aesthetic practice and the subjective experience of the boundaries
of the human body. He is particularly interested in the relation between
media production and the ideological implications of science. Mark Stafford
teaches at MFA Design and Technology program at Parsons School of Design.
He also lectures at the School of Visual Arts.
jihui (the meeting point), a self-regulated digital salon, invites all
interested people to send ideas for discussion/performance/etc.

Robert Beck Memorial Cinema Presents
November 2002
19 November 2002 9:00 pm
ALAN SONDHEIM
Curated by Marianne Shaneen
RBMC presents new digital video, live reading, laptop demo and other work
from Alan Sondheim, multifarious maverick of video, film, CD-ROM,
performance, sound, text, cyberculture and hypermedia. His books include
the anthology "Being on Line: Net Subjectivity" (Lusitania, 1996),
"Disorders of the Real" (Station Hill, 1988), and ".echo" (alt-X digital
arts, 2001). For the past several years, he has been working on an
"Internet Text," a continuous meditation on philosophy, psychology,
language, body, sexuality, and virtuality.
"worlds, tribly" - 35 minute digital video, Alan Sondheim and Azure Carter

RBMC is a laboratory for the auto-didact, a genuine Temporary Autonomous
Zone for cine-mavericks and metaphysicians, and a realm to disorder and
regain the senses. For more than 4 years, the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema
has illuminated the snowy-white screen of the Collective Unconscious of
New York.... the enigmatic Mr. Robert Beck, soldier of the 1st World War,
lost his senses in battle and later, recovering in a sanatorium, regained
them while watching a film!
Bradley Eros & Brian Frye
...the extraordinary Robert Beck Memorial Cinema... captures some of the
improvisational feeling of earlier avant-garde film presentations, also
accommodating films and related events that require unusual projection
set-ups...probably my favorite place anywhere to see films -Fred Camper

**worlds, tribly - 35 minute digital video -
85 worlds intersecting: the torus cutting across, the sparrow flitting
from one to the other, the golden droplets swarming among them, the seven
watching men, the doubled doubled seven watching men, the woman from the
london gaiete shuddering, the second woman adding and removing dressing
and corset, the man and woman swirling and watching across, the woman with
the cross evolving and splitting and shuddering outward, the white stars
in the blue-black sky, the yellow stars in the blue-black sky, the great
fabric of being and the construct of the helices, the mouths wide open,
eyes wide open, the look of astonishment and the gaze, the swollen mold
and its emission, the bearded man, the torus bending and shuddering, the
torus taking on the colors and patterns, the sparrow flitting, the inner
and outer spaces, the backdrop spaces, the seven watching men ...
the dark break
the double framing window, the window embossing, the small victorian
blouse, the body staring and disappearing, the serene landscape, body
through the landscape, the quietening sounds, the fading out ...

NOVEMBER 21
FREE WARE: BORDERHACK!, 7 PM, LECTURE ROOM
Fran Ilich is the director of Borderhack!, an annual three-day event that
takes place in Tijuana, Mexico. New media artists, activists, and punk
rockers alike gather to explore the impact that the U.S.-Mexico border has
on daily life. As technology and global economic forces continue to blur the
boundaries between cultures, the existence of a physical dividing line
between the two countries is called into question. For this talk, Ilich
discusses Borderhack! and his current work, Modem Drama.
(UN)SCENE: MAKE ART EVERY THIRD THURSDAY:VIVA LA WEB! HACKTIVISM AND
CYBERGUERRILLAS , 5-9 PM, AGES 14-19 ONLY
The Internet was made for free communication, but is caught between the
virtual borders of corporations and copyright laws. Come learn about Web
artists fighting this battle and the history of artists and activism. Check
out some online activism and create art with a message with internationally
known artist-designer Piotr Szyhalski. Also, tune in to Fran Ilich as he
talks about hacktivism and the guerrillas working to free the virtual
borders of the Internet on the border of Mexico and the United States (see
Free Ware, this page). To reserve a spot in the workshop, call 612.375.7683

Program details:
Programme 1: stretching the sky after the rain falls
RED CHEWING GUM (AL-LLKA AL HAMRA)
Director: Akram Zaatari Lebanon 2000 10 minutes video
Cast: Ziad Antar, Nabil Kojok
Within the changing urban environment of Beirut, two souls find themselves in
a cycle of loss, departure, rupture, and celebration. An impressive video
letter inspired by a story of separation between men.
NIGHTFALL
Director: Mohamed Soueid Lebanon 2000 70 minutes video
Drawing from his diaries, Soueid recounts his time spent in "The Student
Squad" of the Palestinian resistance movement Fateh during the Lebanese Civil
War. Stories of old friends fallen during the war and of others still alive
unravel amongst copious amounts of drinking and carousing. A lyrical artist,
Soueid defies oral conventions by blending narrative with prose, essay with
poem, and conversation with speculation.
Thursday, November 21 6:30 p.m.

Programme 2: traversing times/breaching distinctions
MEDITERRANEAN MODERN (BOUTROS AL ARMENIAN)
Director: Jamelie Hassan Lebanon/Canada 1997 8 minutes video
An itinerant Armenian painter, a refugee fleeing the 1915 genocide in his
country, makes a circuitous voyage to a mountain village in Lebanon where he
is commissioned to paint the interior of Hassan's family home. Hassan deftly
maps the uneasiness of reinventing identity, adaptability, and cultural
preservation. "Home is not a fixed place but a constantly negotiated space
between self and location."
HER + HIM, VAN LEO
Director: Akram Zaatari Egypt/Lebanon 2001 32 minutes video
A portrait of a portrait photographer, about photography before video, the
defects of the negative, perfection of the body image, and a relationship
between youth and the immortal.
A WOMAN TAXI DRIVER IN SIDI BEL-ABBÈS
(UNE FEMME TAXI À SIDI BEL-ABBÈS)
Director: Belkacem Hadjad Algeria/Belgium 2000 52 minutes video
After the death of her husband, Soumicha must make money to support herself
and her children. As most jobs are reserved for men, she takes a chance and
becomes the only woman taxi driver in Sidi Bel-Abbès, Algeria, where
tradition still reigns and extremist political violence takes place. Winner
of the best documentary film, Arab Screen Independent Film Festival, Qatar.
Friday, November 22 8:15 p.m. (note early start time)
- --
Programme 3: days of our lives, transfer/transform/transgress, auto seen
voyeurs, maps and demarcations
BLUE
Director: Azza Al Zarouni United Arab Emirates 2000 3 minutes video
Private space as discomforting comfort zone at home in Abu Dhabi. Ubiquitous
cell phone ringing punctuates this stream of dissatisfaction with pop culture
salvation.
COSMETIC SURGERY (GERAHAT AL TAGMIL)
Director: Hassan Khan Egypt 2000 14 minutes video
A wry look at the rising class in Cairo and how they deal with self-image.
With a backdrop of malls and clinics, questions of politics, religion,
gender, economy, and marginality are couched in terms of beauty and the body.
SHAMELESS TRANSMISSION OF DESIRED TRANSFORMATIONS PER DAY
(BATHTH WAQUIH LI KAMMIYYAT AL TAHAWOULAT AL MUSHTAHAT YAWMIYAN)
Director: Mahmoud Hojeij Lebanon 2000 25 minutes video
Just as fruit and vegetables are picked for their external appearance, three
women at Beirut checkpoints are asked to reveal their intimate acts
supposedly done in the dark.
FUCK THIS FILM (KOS OM EL FILM DAH)
Director: Hassan Khan Egypt 1998 4 minutes video
Surrounded by a multitude of reasons to tape and seeing none, the videomaker
runs at life haunted by forces inside with a soul lost to despondency.
LOOKING AWRY
Director: Sobhi al-Zobaidi Palestine 2001 32 minutes video
American producers commission Zobaidi to make a videotape about ancient
Jerusalem. They want only the calmer side of the old city, but as soon as the
taping starts an Intifada breaks out after Israeli attacks at Al Aksa Mosque.
DIARY OF A MALE WHORE (YAWMEYAT A'HER)
Director: Tawfik Abu-Wael Palestine 2001 14 minutes video
A videotape about memory, positioning itself in relation to the "other," so
that it can be seen as a metaphorical account of the so-called
Israeli-Palestinian "peace process." Based loosely on the novel For Bread
Alone by Moroccan writer Mohamed Choukri.
Tuesday, November 26 6:30 p.m.
- --
Programme 4: history: making/ tracing/leaving marks, a logic of the senses
THEY WERE HERE (ENAHOUM KANOO HONNA)
Director: Ammar Al Beik Syria 2000 8 minutes video
Coming to terms with the end of the industrial era, Al Beik's elegant and
eloquently composed study reverberates with lives lived, fading images, and
relics of retrospection.
CYBER PALESTINE
Director: Elia Suleiman Palestine 2000 16 minutes video
Displaying sardonic wit and attention to detail, Suleiman creates a terse but
forceful transposition of the biblical story of Mary and Joseph as a
framework to illustrate the repressive controls of movement and the abuses of
daily Palestinian life suffered under Israeli military occupation.
THE DEAD WEIGHT OF A QUARREL HANGS
Director: Walid Ra'ad Lebanon/USA 1996-99 17 minutes video
A videotape in three parts exploring the possibilities and limits of writing
and imaging a history of the Lebanese civil wars (1975-1991).
ALONE WITH WAR (SEULE AVEC LA GUERRE)
Director: Danielle Arbid Lebanon/France 2000 59 minutes video
Searching through remembrances of the war for answers that of course are not
to be told and not to be found, where there are only people trying to get on
with their lives. Arbid tries to construct a history by seeking a truth and
finds one at each corner, under each bed, and behind the pockmarks of each
stray bullet left from the civil war we all are trying to forget. Winner of
the best documentary award at the 2000 Locarno film festival.
Guest curator Jayce Salloum will be present at screening.

Wednesday, November 27 6:30 p.m.
"Jayce Salloum, curator of the New Arab Video: in/tangible cartographies
series, will present two of his own works, part of his ongoing untitled
project, a series of videos addressing social and political realities. In
part 1: everything and nothing, Salloum, off-camera, asks questions of Soha
Bechara, the ex-Lebanese National Resistance fighter who was detained for ten
years in the notorious El-Khiam torture and interrogation center in South
Lebanon. In a riveting and intimate conversation, Salloum inquires about
home, ordinary days, being interviewed, and the distance between Paris, where
Bechara now lives, and Khiam. In part 2: beauty and the east Salloum turns to
the former Yugoslavia. In a kaleidoscope of interviews, refugees, migrants,
asylum seekers, and residents address topics ranging from identity and
fascism to optimism and monsters. In both anecdotal and theoretical
recountings, they lay out the issues currently at stake in this region of
displacement and redefinition; their words are located within Salloum's
images of cities and landscapes." (Pacific Film Archive) In part 3: (as if)
beauty never ends*, a montage of orchids blooming and footage from the sites
of the 1982 massacres at Lebanon's Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps provides
an elegiac response to the Palestinian dispossession.

The Artworld, Community and Activism:
A Meditation Inspired by the Events of September 11th
In the wake of September 11th, we are awash in government- and mass media
rhetoric about "patriotism," "sacrifice," and "change." Many of these
representations serve to further the already-defined agenda of those in
power, rather than to promote discussion and democracy. Art's role in
crisis--if it is regarded as relevant at all--is seen as entirely
therapeutic.
Crisis creates pressures to dispense with business-as-usual, sometimes
revealing the real (cultural) fissures of the day. In terms of arts
practice, we might consider such questions as: What does community mean in a
Western culture of increasing transience, materialism and diminishing public
space? Given the apotheosis of the artist as an individual genius for the
past 500 years, is the very idea of post-Renaissance art involving community
a contradiction in terms? Why have exemplars of community-minded, often
public art been excluded from the art-historical canon? (Consider the
performances of Suzanne Lacy, the confrontational AIDS-activist works by the
Gran Fury collective and many others, and even Joseph Beuy's founding of the
Free University in 1972.) Is the Internet the last, best hope for art
attempting genuine social change? What effective community-oriented
initiatives have been created online? What catalytic or symbol-making role
can artists play in times of crisis? How can critical works find their place
in an entertainment-oriented museum culture? And in an increasingly
monolithic, mass-media age how can the arts promote the emergence of diverse
and independent voices?
This illustrated lecture will address these matters, tracing the
post-sixties history of activist art and the emergence of organizations such
as Artists Call Against U.S. Intervention in Central America and Visual
AIDS, as a backdrop for considering both current cultural conditions and
artistic practice. The evolving interpretations--and use and abuse--of
representations of September 11th during 2002 will also be discussed.
Robert Atkins--a New York and California-based art historian, author and
activist--is a former columnist for The Village Voice, the author of books
including "ArtSpeak: A Guide to Contempory Ideas, Movements and Buzzwords"
and "From Media to Metaphor: Art About AIDS," as well as the recipient of
numerous awards for art criticism . A fellow at Carnegie Mellon's Studio
for Creative Inquiry, he is arts editor of The Media Channel
(www.mediachannel.org), editor in chief of Artery: The AIDS-Arts Forum
(www.artistswithaids.org/artery), an instructor at the Rhode Island School
of Design, and the former editor-in-chief of the Arts Technology
Entertainment Network. He is a founder of Visual AIDS, the group that
originated Day Without Art and the Red Ribbon, the initiator of 911‹THE
SEPTEMBER 11 PROJECT: Cultural Intervention in Civic Society
(http://rhizome.org/911), and is currently at work on an anthology of his
writing called "I Witness: Art Writing as Activism, Criticism and
Reportage."

FUTURE CINEMA
The Cinematic Imaginary after Film
Curated by Jeffrey Shaw and Peter Weibel
November 16, 2002 – March 30, 2003
Press Conference: Thursday, November 14, 2002, 11 a.m., ZKM-Medientheater
Exhibition Opening: Friday, November 15, 2002, 7 p.m., ZKM-Foyer
The conditions of cinematographic art have changed radically over the past
years. On the verge of a material revolution new possibilities of camera
and production techniques have emerged that also allow new modes of
narration and image languages. FUTURE CINEMA is the first major
international exhibition of current art practice in the domain of video,
film, computer and web based installations that embody and anticipate new
cinematic techniques and modes of expression. No commercial or industrial
working teams à la Hollywood will be presented, but the individual efforts
of artists who overcome or undermine the global standards of the cinema
industry.
The exhibition will premier numerous works, some specially commissioned for
this exhibition, and a few actually produced at the ZKM | Institute for
Visual Media. A strong curatorial emphasis will be on installations that
diverge from the conventional on the wall mounted and projected screen
format and which explore more immersive and technologically innovative
environments such as multi-screen, panoramic, dome projection, shared
multi-user, and on-line configurations. Another central focus will be on
works that explore creative approaches to the design of interactive
non-linear narrative content. The exhibition gives an overview of creative
possibilities in these areas of cinematographic research – a laboratory
where scientists and artists can meet and a window into the future.
Further information on the exhibtion: http://www.zkm.de/futurecinema
The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog in English by The MIT
Press, Cambridge, MA.

Subject: AFTERNEEN
press release
AFTERNEEN
Miltos Manetas
November 16 - December 15, 2002 / opening: November 16, 2002 at 5 pm
Computing is to NEEN what fantasy is to Surrealism and freedom to
Communism. It creates the context but can also be postponed. (Miltos
Manetas)
In May 2000 Lexicon Branding (the company that developed the names
Powerbook and Pentium, among others) was commissioned by artist Miltos
Manetas to invent a term for a new art movement that is characterised by
artistic experiments between the real and virtual worlds, between studio
and screen. NEEN was the resulting term, a palindrome created by a computer
programme after it was fed with words like 'screen' and 'new'. NEEN
represents the mentality of an undefined generation of NEENsters;
contemporary artists, software programmers, web designers and videogame
animators. NEEN refers to Internet and computer art, software and hardware,
architecture and design. NEEN is a category for the unmade, the undefined
and functions as a third category: good, bad and NEEN, or: art, non-art and
NEEN. In old-Greek NEEN is "exactly now, no second later". This is a nice
coincidence as it reflects what Manetas's NEEN stands for. It is impossible
to grasp NEEN, because after a second it is already gone. In this spirit,
Manetas chose to entitle the first presentation and introduction of NEEN in
Europe AFTERNEEN.
For AFTERNEEN in Casco, Manetas invited about thirty internationally
operating NEENsters to participate. The installation consists of the
interactive NEENWORLD, designed by Manetas in collaboration with architect
Andreas Angelidakis. This world can be visited online and is projected in
the space of Casco. Avatars discuss the future based on manifestos by
Manetas, like 'Websites is the art of our times', 'NEEN and Telic', or 'A
Prisoner' (a manifesto against copyright).
The audience will be invited to visit the world by NEENsters who are
embodying the avatars. During the opening some NEENsters will also be
walking around in real life and real space: dressed in their avatar-costume
they will bring about a confusing doubling.
As part of the AFTERNEEN-show Manetas selected ten websites, which will be
projected onto a screen in Casco. They can also be visited online at Fout!
Bladwijzer niet gedefinieerd.. Gnac, Mark Tranmer, Trinasim, Boy in Static,
Sawako, Nobukazu Takermura and Aki Tsuyuko have composed special music for
the show.
Miltos Manetas (1962) lives and works in Los Angeles and New York.
There will be a special press preview preceding the opening on Saturday
November, 16 in the presence of participating NEENsters at 4 pm.
AFTERNEEN is open Wednesdays -Sundays, 3-8 pm, Fridays until 10 pm. For
further information, please contact Roos Gortzak at 030-2319995.
