- -----------------------------------------------------
W e l c o m e t o t h e C I R C U S C o n f e r e n c e
The circus conference will bring
together artists, designers, performers, theorists and computer scientists to
debate the research issues posed by the next generation of advanced information
technology for the creative and performing arts, media and the electronic
publishing industry (in its broadest sense).
The circus conference will bring together previously distinct disciplines and
encourages the replacement of 'technology push' by 'creative pull' for
multiple-media research that integrates advanced technologies with new media
types and modes of creation. The circus conference will relate technological
applications research to content issues in a theoretical understanding of
vision, sound and movement.

Subject: Mary and Jacques
A quick interjection.
I suppose some people have planned a moment of quiet reflection for the
birthday of Jacques Lacan (Paris, April 13, 1901), but if I'm going to be
singing happy birthday to any dead one this week it's going to be to Mary
Pickford - Hollywood's first superstar - born April 9, 1893 (Toronto). A
chronic over-achiever, she had 194 films in the can before Jacques could
finish a bowl of l'amour fou.
Happy Birthday Mary Pickford.

Subject: [ULTRA-RED] Performances in Portugal, Spain and SF
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ULTRA-RED BRING "TRABAJO Y D�AS" TO PORTUGAL, SPAIN AND SAN FRANCISCO
This summer, Los Angeles audio-activists Ultra-red will appear in three
prestigious music and media arts festivals: the San Francisco Electronic
Music Festival, Barcelona Spain's Sonar Festival and the "Squatters"
Festival at the Casa Serralves in Porto, Portugal. For each appearance,
Ultra-red will showcase a new program titled "Trabajo y d�as (Social Factory
No. 3)".
Following Ultra-red members' participation in a variety of campaigns and
projects around immigrant labor in Los Angeles, "Trabajo y d�as"
(translated, Work and days) combines field recordings, pre-recorded
interviews with workers and organizers, sound and image processing, and
spoken word. A mixed media bucolic, the performance cuts across protocols of
lap-top electro-acoustic music, press conference polemics and panel
discussion dialectics.
At the center of "Trabajo y d�as" is a collaboration between the audio
activists of Ultra-red and the band Los Jorneleros del Norte. Comprised
entirely of immigrant day laborers, Los Jorneleros are modern-day
troubadours. Drawing on the influences of Mexican and Central American
popular music, Los Jorneleros sing about the daily life of day laborers in
Los Angeles.
In contrast to Los Jorneleros who wed social commentary to popular music
forms, Ultra-red endeavor to politicize the form itself. This struggle
between pop form and its transformation aesthetically and politically
permeates "Trabajo y d�as" as well as the tension between new media
technologies and their social conditions. From its electro-acoustic music to
its spoken word poetics, "Trabajo y d�as" argues that organizing for change
entails listening for its possibility.
Whether it's their acclaimed albums or headline-grabbing political
interventions, Ultra-red consistently explore the ways experimental art can
reconceptualize social justice organizing. This commitment brings together
the group's current line-up of Elizabeth Blaney (Video and Textual Poetics),
Pablo Garcia (Digital Sound Processing), Shannon Noble (Digital Image
Processing - not on tour), Dont Rhine (Sound Design) and Leonardo Vilchis
(Video and Textual Poetics).

>> METABOLICS // STOFFWECHSEL#4
THURSDAY 12 APRIL 2001 20:00 +0100 (MET)
Muffathalle, Munich
Live Stream: <http://www.linksverkehr.net/metabolics>
RE: MORNING AFTER
With: Geert Lovink (Sidney) and guests
A crash in slow motion: For nearly a year now, technology
stock markets are on decline, as inevitably as they have
risen incredibly the time before. Beyond IPOs and
spectacular mergers the "New Economy" suddenly reveals
discrepancies wich make the cliches appear markedly
harmless: For years the slogan "Laptop and Lederhosen" was
featuring the hype of a new economy in the area around
Munich, which vaunts as the fourth biggest high-tech and new
media cluster worldwide. Immaterial work in electronic
networks promised a radical new definition of gainful
employment that from now on was to be organized flexibly and
in a self dependent way. This idea sounded good and
obviously was not a problem, as long as there was enough
venture capital.
As it turned out, that not everybody can be a entrepreneur,
and that the new markets are a bit more complicated than a
savings book - what is the point of the "New Economy"? And,
above all: What expects us on the morning after the crash?
Will incrusted structures and old thinking be triumphing, or
just those who joined the swan songs of the information
economy in time? Is there any reason to gloat at all or did
the hype concerning electronic business have its good sides,
too? Which fate will the truly innovative ideas be doomed
to, as it has become more difficult to make money even out
of the most stupid monkey business? And, how does all this
affect the developement of digital cultures and ongoing
artistic production?
METABOLICS/STOFFWECHSEL#4 will discuss what accounts for the
digital economy, especially in times of insolvencies, waves
of dismissals and dramatic share price losses. In an open
debate Lovink will dispute with protagonists of the local
start-up scene as well as cultural activists and artists.
Geert Lovink is co-founder of Adilkno/BILWET, "The
Foundation for the Advancement of Illegal Knowledge"
<http://www.thing.desk.nl/bilwet>, the "Digital City
Amsterdam" <http://www.dds.nl> and "De Waag"
<http://www.waag.org>, the Society for old an new media.
With Pit Schultz he founded in 1995 the mailing list
"nettime" <http://www.nettime.org>, probably the most
important ressource for net criticism until today. Lovink
co-organized numerous conferences and congresses, among them
the legendary "Next five Minutes" <http://www.n5m.org> and
the Hybrid Workspace at documenta X. Recently, in last May,
"Tulipomania Dot Com" <http://www.balie.nl/tulipomania> was
the early attempt of a critique of the internet economy,
wich doesn't fall into cultural pessimism, but still manages
to hold resistance against prevailing dogma.
METABOLICS / STOFFWECHSEL is going to present innovative
projects and debates in net.art, .culture and .politics on a
monthly basis, starting from january 2001, in the
Muffathalle in Munich. METABOLICS / STOFFWECHSEL#1 is
curated by Florian Schneider, Harald Staun and Dietmar
Lupfer. METABOLICS / STOFFWECHSEL will be streamed live and
stored in a database.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
The idea for the creation of an Internet zine, in the field of visual arts, is
strongly urged by the desire of young people who
are involved in contemporary art, and other cultural events to find a
venue for the realizing of their concepts. Following our aims we are
trying to develop ZAYAC as Internet space for the release of critical
texts, concepts, projects and other studies connected with exhibiting
and cultural aspects of contemporary and electronic arts in Macedonia.
ZAYAC is the first and so far only zine in this medium in Macedonia and
in Southeast part of Europe.
The basic aim of ZAYAC is to unite people who want to actively take part in creating of the
young contemporary art sceneand is strongly connected to the use of new technologies.
The concrete results of the issuing of ZAYAC as an internet zine are
related to the entering of new technologies in contemporary art in
Macedonia, as well as to the presentation of a part of the domestic art
activities to the international audience and in providing new contacts
of young people with the institutions and persons who act in the same
field all over the world. The long-term aim of ZAYAC is to develop a
greater interest among the artists for new technologies and to create
opportunities to work in international framework, aiming to involve the
Macedonian contemporary art in the current European and international trends.

THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
OF PEOPLES' GLOBAL ACTION (PGA)
********************************
COCHABAMBA, Bolivia, September 16 - 24, 2001
[Deadline for applications: May 15 2001]
By way of introduction:
***********************
What prevents us from realising our dreams and aspirations of a just and
peaceful society, where our dignity and our different ways of life are
respected? Do we have control over our own lives and communities? Who takes
the decisions that affect us?
At no other time in history have so few institutions dominated so many
women and men. The 15 biggest corporations are present in over 120
countries. Corporations control 70% of world trade. Our governments have
actively contributed to expand the power of these companies. This growing
centralised economic power has resulted in the creation of institutions
such as the World Trade Organisation (WTO), a legal vehicle for their
policies that counts with the support of almost all our governments. More
countries are now more deeply indebted than ever been before in history.
The Third World pays far more in terms of services and debt transfer than
it receives in the form of assistance, investment and aid.
Whilst continuing to promise prosperity for all, the present phase of
capitalism is creating more victims, more environmental havoc and more
vulnerability than ever before. Wealth and power are concentrated in fewer
hands than they ever have been. In the last 30 years the rich have doubled
their capital while poverty and misery grow. The poorest 20% possesses less
than 4% of world resources whereas the richest control over 85%. The
complex life of this planet, which is the source of sustenance and cultural
diversity for all men and women, is increasingly transformed into a
merchandise, mercilessly exploited, privatised, patented and irreversibly
transformed. There are ever-increasing numbers of firearms in private
hands, more destructive potential in the form of modern armies and greater
stocks of conventional nuclear, chemical and biological weapons than ever
before. The purpose of the majority of them is to defend the privileges of
the leading players in the dominant economy.
Peoples' Global Action (PGA), since its creation in February 1998, has
provided a common communication and coordination tool for movements that
struggle against the social, economic and political processes that have
increased vulnerability, dependence and environmental destruction. An
instrument done by and for those who, from their homes, fields, factories
and workplaces, are confronting all the authoritarian, centralising and
homogenising processes and institutions, and believe in the importance of
internationalising the struggle due to the global roots of their local
problems. PGA, although being still in its own process of construction,
provides a global forum for the struggles against the old and the new
capitalism to associate their efforts and share experiences and skills. It
has also nurtured the hope that, if we remain united within the respect to
diversity, we will prevent dignity and justice from being undermined,
manipulated or destroyed.
This hope strengthens our commitment to fight against oppression,
domination and destruction, to unmask and abolish the institutions and
companies that regulate the global capitalist regime, to build a broad
unity based on the respect to difference and diversity, and to continue
defining, practising and spreading local alternatives to take back control
over our destiny. This hope, that lives in the irreverent determination of
our bodies, minds and feelings, can and must realise our dreams of
self-governance, freedom, justice, peace, equity, dignity and diversity.
