1: Lev Manovich Essay Added
2: Link changes and site changes
3: Suggestions
Lev Manovich Essay, "The Interface as a New Aesthetic Genre" added to TTLG
texts.
The Through the Looking Glass exhibition, sponsored by the Beachwood center for
the Arts in Beachwood Ohio, continues its year-long exhibition of many of the
leading names of online art and cultural criticism with the addition of Lev
Manovich's essay, "The Interface as a New Aesthetic Genre". The essay, an
adaptation of Manovich's presentation at the Sins of Change: Media Arts in
Transition conference held at the Walker Art Center, deals with the aesthetics
of the computer interface and its role in the shaping of paradigms within
digital culture.
Note: Due to a server glitch, the intro page may show a very long table. We
will try to get this fixed soon.
Bio of Lev Manovich
Lev Manovich is an artist and a theorist of new media. His book "The Language
of New Media" will be published by MIT Press in 2000. Manovich was born in
Moscow where he studied fine arts, architecture and computer science. He
received an M.A. in experimental psychology from NYU [1988] and a Ph.D. in
Visual and Cultural Studies from University of Rochester [1993]. Manovich has
been working with computer animation, digital cinema, digital photography, and
interactive multimedia since 1984. He has been teaching digital arts since
1992. Manovich lectures widely on new media theory and aestetics, and his
writings have been published in many countries. In 1995 he was awarded a Mellon
Fellowship in Art Criticism by California Institute of the Arts. Currently he
is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Diego were he
teaches studio and theory classes in digital arts.
2:LINKS AND SITE CHANGES
Several visitors to the TTLG website have remarked that a number of virtual
exhibitors' links are not incorrect or inoperable. This is due to the fact
that a number of the projects are ongoing or time-based. As such, 'linkrot' is
inevitable. At this time, our best solution is to inform you which sites are
no longer accessible.
If you find another, please let us know.
3:SUGGESTIONS
The addition of Lev Manovich's essay signals the final planned expansion of the
TTLG exhibition until its official end on March 30, 2001. Currently the
exhibition serves as a media resource for the arts community, and the potential
for additional activity exists. The question is posed: As the net is always in
flux, should TTLG evolve with the digital environment until its close date?
What more could be done? More artists, texts? Online forums?
We would like to hear your comments. However, please bear in mind that
additional functions will be determined byt he time and resources of the
curator and the BCA.
Thank you for your support of this landmark show, as it is the first of its
kind in Northeast Ohio, and in many ways, the first show of its kind, period.
Best,
Patrick Lichty
Curator

FIFTY ONE'S FLASH
Chers " photophiles "
Vous avez �t� nombreux � nous t�moigner votre int�r�t lors de
l�exposition de lancement consacr�e � l�artiste belge Panamarenko. En ce
mois estival, nous organisons un accrochage visant � vous faire
d�couvrir quelques uns des photographes qui font partie de notre
collection permanente.
Au sein d�une galerie accueillante, Fifty One vous plonge dans un
univers consacr� � 100% � la photographie. Cet art relativement jeune (
pr�s de 150 ans ) ne cesse d��voluer et de nous �tonner. Le pouvoir
d�une photo est inestimable: capable de nous �mouvoir ou de nous parler
- avec la m�me intensit� qu�un film muet- elle allie l�esth�tisme � la
communication. Tout comme dans un tableau , on peut tous y retrouver des
parts de soi ou quelque chose qui nous interpelle inexplicablement .
Comme promis , nous organisons , des la rentr�e, deux expositions
th�matiques ( dont nous vous informerons prochainement ) : l�une sera
consacr�e � plusieurs photographes contemporains ( Sam Tayler-wood ,
Tracey Moffatt, Gregory Crewdson, Massimo Vitali, Yasumasa
Morimura,.....) . Ayant rompu avec la philosophie de la photographie
classique - d�sireuse d��tre une fid�le reproduction de la r�alit� -
ces artistes contemporains ont d�velopp� un langage qui leur est propre.
Explorant les possibilit�s infinies de ce moyen d�expression , ils
d�livrent des documents emplis d�observations sociales et
psychologiques.
L�autre exposition vous fera voyager au coeur de la photographie
africaine grace � Seydou Keita, Malick Sidibe, Ojeikere, Azaglo,.....
Mais d�ici l� , un accrochage regroupant plusieurs maitres
internationaux et quelques coup de coeur . L�americain Peter Beard ,
dont on ne montre que tr�s rarement les oeuvres en Belgique . Cet
amoureux de l�Afrique s�installe au Kenya, afin de s� immiscer dans la
savane qui le passionne tangiblement. Son objectif y capture les animaux
sauvage et l�ambiance d�crite par la romanci�re Karen Blixen. Ses photos
et collages sont emprunt�s de son sang, des mots de son journal de bord
et de sa touche r�solument � beardienne �.
Parmi les autres photographes , nous vous proposons : Kate Schemerhorn
dont les photos surprennent - avec beaucoup d�esth�tisme -les Americains
en plein univers de fun; Fred Meylan aux d�formations abracadabrantes;
l�artiste polyvalent, inspir� par la mode et New York, William Klein;
l�Anglais David Bailey; et la sensibilit� des images de mode de la
Fran�aise Sarah Moon.
Infos pratiques:
accrochage : du 15 ao�t au 8 septembre
expo: Contemporary Group Show: du 8 septembre au 14 octobre
expo � Africa: Past- Present �: du 19 octobre au 25 novembre

book is now complete and will be published by Routledge at the end of
September 2000. I hope that it will be of interest to many subscribers to
this bulletin. The book chapters are as follows,
Introducing Cyberspace
Geographies of the Information Society
Geographies of Cyberspace
Introducing the Cartographies of Cyberspace
Mapping Information and Communication Technologies
Spatialising Cyberspace
Mapping Asynchronous Media
Mapping Synchronous Media
Spatial Cognition of Cyberspace
Imaginative Mappings of Cyberspace
Future Mappings of Cyberspace

Subject: 7/21 - office/gallery panel discussion
Friday, July 21st
at 7:30pm
in the office/gallery's newly renovated "training
room" on the 18th floor of 111 Sutter Street (at the
corner of Sutter and Montgomery)
San Francisco, CA
the office/gallery presents a conversation about the
effects of private funding on individual research in
the field of visual art.
In conjunction with the current exhibition titled HARD
COPY, (interpretation of "hard copies" of art on the
internet) this discussion will use internet/digital
related mediums as a catalyst for moving the
conversation through the intricacies of private vs.
public support for individual artists.
Panelists include: Amy Franceschini (FutureFarmers),
Scott Beale (Laughing Squid Web Hosting), Matt
Biederman (SFMoMA/ATA), Manuel Labor (South to the
Future), Courtney Fink (Capp Street Project/CCAC), and
Lee Montgomery.
The office/gallery is a "by appointment only" location
for work by contemporary artists operated 'covertly'
in the San Francisco Offices of a National Life
Insurance and Financial Securities Firm.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND SNAIL MAIL TO THE OFFICE/GALLERY
WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING THE WEBSITE FOR OUR
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES ADDRESS!
Donations for this event will be accepted, but are not
required.

General Idea of the Conference:
The rapid changes that the countries of South-East Europe are confronted
with make it a necessity and essential
challenge to perform a certain "archaeological cut" through the
different heterogeneous layers of the Balkan region. Therefore the
international Conference UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is conceived as a
challenge to examining the alteration stratum of the Balkans
concentrating strongly on questions of society, culture, art, and
history. Reflections and analysis dedicated to these complex issues will
be examined during the Conference.
UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS will in this goal try to focus on examining the intersection of the acquired codes
in the social, historical, cultural, we have used on the Balkans in our
immediate past as well as in considering the changes through which our
societies, and culture, are undergoing over the past decades. The
Conference is especially interested in investigating the deeper reasons
for on-going conflicts in the region. The Conference will focus on
finding ways of concordant common social, political and economic
structure to emerge in the new Balkan societies and thus admitting that
each region has its own specifics shall try to find a link connecting to
the cumulative cultural achievements of the past.
UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is open to the investigating of substantially higher synergistic systems on the
Balkans and will urge the creation of new visions of the artists,
theoreticians, historians, sociologists, and philosophers and will
concentrate on finding a common platform in which the present historic
and cultural gaps can be bypassed. Being conceived as an encounter of
artists, technologies and visionaries the Conference also welcomes
various projects using information technology and different multi-media
applications, life sciences, etc.
Themes to be discussed:
1. Codes Not Understood: Reasons and Consequences
2. Identities: Creation and Use
3. Mediated Images: Theory and Creation
4. Networks: New Quality or Redundant Accumulation
The format of the Conference:
UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is inviting 30 leading thinkers from the Balkan region as well as outside from it,
covering a wide expertise (historians, sociologists, philosophers, scientists, culturologists, and artists).
Proceedings:
(November-December 2000)
The proceedings will be published in English and Macedonian with a possible translation to the other Balkan languages.
Deadline: The deadline for application is September 15, 2000.

Subject: NETworked Exposures
Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 15:53:33 EDT
A web-based component to socio-interactive or NETworked "exposures" that
could be thought of as an intermittent and ongoing series of interruptions
amidst the otherwise mass proliferation of images and/or texts in the
service of capital... or maybe something else entirely.
