Poevisioni Video, Computer & Web Poetry Curator: Caterina Davinio In the Sixties the linearity of the poetic text was fragmented, deconstructed, broken thanks to the ironic, playful intervention of desecration of the visual and performative poets. At the same time continued the research of the pioneers of the international electronic art, but the to ambits remained mainly separated, and the performance saw, at the beginning of the Nineties, still the centrality of the performer body, when, in the electronic art, the artists already began to speak about the concept of collective author, also referring to the web-art. I direct my attention toward those video and computer artist (recently CD and web artist) who tried an experimentation in contact with the poetry text in its larger conception: as linear, visual, sonore, performative text, founding a new discourse that I find very interesting also as artist. The presented authors come from different experiences: literature, cinema, photography, visual arts, performance, and, in this variety, they contribute to create an frontier area of contamination between the languages, that is the contemporary art. (Davinio) Negli anni Sessanta la linearit� del testo poetico era frammentata, decostruita, infranta da un impeto dissacratore, ironico, ludico, dai poeti visivi e performativi. Nello stesso tempo procedeva la ricerca dei pionieri internazionali delle arti elettroniche, ma i due ambiti rimanevano in circuiti separati e la performance poetica vedeva in Italia ancora all'inizio degli anni 90 la centralit� del corpo del performer, quando gi� nell'ambito delle arti visive si parlava di realt� virtuali, di autore collettivo, anche in relazione al web. Ho concentrato negli anni il mio interesse verso quei video e computer artisti, e recentemente autori di CD d'arte e di web art, che cercano un confronto col testo poetico nella sua accezione pi� ampia: da quello lineare a quello visivo, sonoro, performativo, gettando le basi per un discorso nuovo che m'interessa anche come artista. Gli artisti provengono da esperienze e formazioni diverse: letteratura, cinema, fotografia, arti visive, performance,e, pur nella diversit�,contribuiscono tutti a creare quel territorio di confine e contaminazione tra linguaggi che � l'arte contemporanea.

It aims at achieving an interaction between the arts and the other humanities, scientific and social disciplines. UNIDEE Universit� delle Idee is founded on a statement that was made by the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto: "Art is the most sensitive and comprehensive expression of human thought. The time has come for the artist to take the responsibility of connecting every other human activity. From economy to politics, from science to religion, from education to behaviour. In brief, all the components of our social structure." (manifesto, Progetto Arte 1994) The spirit of UNIDEE has its basis in this premise. A vast container of human thoughts, a laboratory which places the concept of creativity at the centre of a pursuit that wishes to include the various humanities, scientific and social sectors. Its aim is to lead to a responsible transformation of society. Our main intent is to respond to the deep-rooted contradictions caused by the opposition between the exponential growth of technological and economic-financial systems - what we call "progress" - and the "regression" induced by the tragic degradation of our planet to which we must add the inhuman physical and moral poverty that envelops most of the world population. Oddly enough, this occurs at a time when we should, on the other hand, have reached a mature responsibility throughout the planet. UNIDEE tries to respond to the needs that are emerging on all the levels of the social structure and commits itself to a project that can produce important steps towards the concept of "civil society". UNIDEE's purpose is to gather all the possible creative forces and concentrate them on a central theme: global civil society. UNIDEE is dedicated in particular to propositive minds, capable of proposing projects and suggesting innovative solutions also in the collective situations. This concerns all the aspects of our everyday life: from the practical objects of common use to the complex components of our physical habitat and mental habitus. UNIDEE serves as a laboratory that conducts a personal research and an internal production, but also as an international mediator collecting projects that could constitute new formative models for the different branches of the social structure. To reach this aim UNIDEE is open to utopian projects, and offers to propose them to those who are willing to perceive them and possibly actualise them. Universit� delle Idee is composed of three main lines of study: Habitus Concerning all the aspects of human thought. Its different expressions and the disciplines used to express itself: spirituality, philosophy as well as science, anthropology, economy, politics and communication. Abito All the aspects related to the body. Its relationship with the world that surrounds it and the way it expresses itself: theatre, performance, fashion but also nourishment and behaviour. Abitare All the aspects of architecture: from the creation of design objects to city planning and world habitat.

The growing interest in the research and development of IDEAS on all levels of the social context is not perceived by UNIDEE in generic terms. It is perceived as need for creative contribution in every field of human activity, following the specific direction previously mentioned in the introduction. Consequently, UNIDEE offers each course participant a unique experience not be found in any other academic or university program. Activities are, in fact, based on the application and use of imagination in the chosen profession, and they all aim at a responsible social transformation. Moreover, art students and young artists will have the opportunity of introducing their creative work to larger shares of the social context. The residents will live and work in the buildings of Cittadellarte, a remarkable architectural example of industrial archaeology. Apart from attending courses, workshops, public meetings and exhibitions, they will also share the behavioural experience of living within a collective community. Regulations UNIDEE programs are directed by Michelangelo Pistoletto and are based on his multidisciplinary experience. The 2001 course for students in residence consists of seminars held by members of the Scientific Committee of Universit� delle Idee and by experts and eminent figures of the various humanities, economical, political, artistic and social disciplines. Each day will be divided into a theoretical part and into a practical part, that will be dedicated to the development and actualisation of individual and group projects. These projects shall be gradually proposed both by the participants (residents and experts) and by non-residents (Projects by invitation). The UNIDEE in-residence activities are carried out on two levels: the first is the level of physical space which includes Cittadellarte and its surroundings. The second, is the level of virtual space and includes the international means of communication, in particular Internet. The residents actively take part in the scheduled events at Cittadellarte: exhibitions, conventions, performances, workshops. UNIDEE in residence takes place over a period of three months: from 1 to 31 July, and from 1 September to 31 October 2001. The official language is English At the end of the course, each resident shall be presented with a certificate of attendance. Participants who miss out on more than 20% of the scheduled activities shall not be entitled to the above-mentioned document. The projects elaborated during the residence will be presented to the public. Admission Committee The projects and material received shall be judged and selected by an international jury that will then proceed to assigning the seats, in compliance with the aims mentioned in the introduction. Terms of Participation For the year 2001, twenty seats will be assigned.

The installation, composed of sketches, sculptures and a 16mm animation film uses the documentary, "Night and Fog," (1956) by French director Alain Resnais, as its starting point. Freeze-frame scenes from the film are sketched in a small journal which is placed on a writing table for viewing. >From these drawings, replicas of concentration camp architecture are created in polymer clay. The sculptures include, camp barracks, guard towers, train cars, barbed wire fences, showers, gallows and latrines, among other objects. Because the scale of these objects changes according to their perspective in the original film the viewer's physical relationship to them shifts and changes. A second set of the original drawings comprise the material for a 16mm animation film looped for continual viewing. Through this process, the original film is deconstructed and an alternate version of "Night and Fog" is produced. "After Night and Fog," is an attempt to give shape to how visual representation influences historical memory and to examine the emotional resonance of space and architectural structure. The use of the documentary film is as arbiter of memory; the documentary, being a typical translator of information about the Holocaust for post-war generations. Because the realm of sculpture has less commonly been employed to evoke this historical period the work retains a particular resonance through its physicality. Irys Schenker's work has been shown recently at Kappatos Gallery in Athens, Greece and in the artLover's exhibition of the Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art. Her work is in private collection in the U.S. and in Europe. This is her first solo exhibition. Gallery Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11am until 6pm. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 13:26:42 +0530 From: "*Diwakar* - www.tamil.com" <[email protected]> Subject: MIT, Caltech to develop voting technology MIT, CALTECH TO DEVELOP VOTING TECHNOLOGY A team of political scientists, engineers, and design experts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology will undertake a study of existing voting technology and create a plan to improve it.

WWW.BUSHBURNING.ORG is a forum for the development of creative responses that reflect the will of the people in contrast to the last presidential election. We are planning mock inaugural balls to be held across the nation to coincide with the inauguration of George W. Bush on January 20, 2001. We will gather with a symbolic burning bush in hand to register our opposition to the perversion of the democratic process. Press and media coverage will be important to assure viewers that the events are not isolated incidents. A website will be created with a dynamic database that will allow individuals and groups from across the country to communicate and coordinate activities. The site will also have a draft of a press release to assist groups in promoting local events. The website's URL, which is still under construction, is www.bushburning.org. We need volunteers to both assist with the construction of the website and organize local actions. The website needs primarily programmers who can help create a dynamic database which will be used to coordinate activities from around the country and other who can assist manage the site. If you are on an email list, please forward this message and spread the word.
