SUNDAY, Sept 9

+ INSTITUTIONS, AUTONOMY, ALTERNATIVE(S) +
[ 09:30 - 10:15 ] Overview presentation of funding
institutions and alternatives

[ 10:15 - 14:30 ] Scales: Big institutions > > > newly established spaces
Is big bad, and small beautiful?  An "institution," true to its
etymological significance, is an act of founding, which can also be
an act of self-founding. Are institutions necessarily bureaucratic bodies?
When does an institution become a bureaucracy-does it have to do with
the size of its organization, the duration of its existence?

[ 17:00 - 21:00 ] Models: "Occupation," sponsorship, self-sustainability
What are the relations between autonomous institutions and funding
sources, sponsorship, governmental interests?
Competing models: squats, government sponsorship, external foundations,
and self-sustainable alternatives-membership, entrance fees & going
commercial?

[ 23:00 -  >    ] Video Screening + radio.active program (egoboobits.net)




MONDAY, Sept 10

+ COMMUNITIES, SOCIAL SPACE, TERRITORY +

[ 09:30 - 14:30 ] Service > Content > Community
What service do servers provide--does the service create a content,
does content automatically create a community? What is the content
of listservs--the act of communication itself?  How do alternative
broadcasting systems create new public spheres? How "global" are virtual
communities? Are they self-sufficient without the periodic
organization of meetspaces?

[ 17:00 - 21:00 ] Regional Boundaries, Minority Programs, Mobile Projects
The re-emergence of boundaries. Do regional networks transcend isolation
or reaffirm it in a regional context? Independent spaces founded as/with
specific programs for minorities... How do recent mobile projects in which
communities travel across territories differ from the so-called
disappearing boundaries of net.space?

[ 23:00 - >      ] Tetsuo Kogawa web cast



TUESDAY, Sept 11

+ ITC BUZZWORDS +

[ 09:30 - 14:00 ] Server Workshops
-DYI (do it yourself) web server
-Overview of Linux system, installing and running a webserver

[ 17:00 - 21:00 ] Net Economies
-Production-
Does net space represent a transformation of commodity logic and its
inherent separation between production, distribution, and consumption?
How does the influence of sponsorship affect the mode of production of
digital media? What is the value of collaboration and the possible
convergences between art, activism, education, technology?
-Distribution-
Is net distribution a way of bypassing intermediaries?
How do venues and spaces influence the content and presentation of net
projects? Is the internet a communication medium rather than a venue?
-Consumption-
In what ways has the net transformed the relations of ownership and
copyright. Copyleft and open source as new paradigms of gift economy?

[ 23:30 -  >   ] Performance: Ricardo Dominguez + Pararadio program





WEDNESDAY, Sept 12

+ CODE 2 CONTENT +

[ 09:30 - 14:00 ] Server Workshops

-Directories, knowledge databases (DMOZ org/Everything2.com)

[ 17:00 - 21:00 ] Database Ontology, Web Aesthetics

-Form/Function/Technology-
How do classical relations between form and function apply to digital
media? If digital technology moves in one direction--"more"--is there an
imperative toward developing a "minimalist" media? Ethical dimension of form,
responsibility to audiences, forms of scalability and accessibility
-Database-
Has the dominance of the database model produced a new ontology, a
paradigm shift replacing the old narrative perceptual apparatus that
was a legacy of film? Convergences of film and database, models of
digital archives, database driven servers.
-Pixel Publishing-
How do web magazines reproduce or transcend the form and
uni-directionality of print media?
What web publishing models can be developed that are specific to the
(so-called) open, decentralized nature of net.space?
Hybrid models, text engines, extracting content from newslogs and
listservs.
