mEDIENkUNSTpERSPEKTIVEN 2001 | make-world: BORDER="0" LOCATION="YES"
Kunst und Immersion
Vortr�ge mit Diskussion
3. Oktober, 19 h
Eintritt: frei
Vortr�ge und Diskussion mit Masaki Fujihata (Tokio, Medienk�nstler),
Paul Sermon (Manchester, Medienk�nstler), Lawrence Wallen (Berlin,
Architekt und Medienk�nstler)
Konzept und Moderation: Dr. Gerhard Blechinger, Vorsitzender des
Medienforums M�nchen und Prorektor der Hochschule f�r Gestaltung und Kunst
Z�rich
Der Hang der Kunst zur totalit�ren Form im Gesamtkunstwerk und in der
k�nstlerischen Avantgarde hat auch in der Medienkunst einen Namen
gefunden: Immersion. Immersive Kunstwerke in der Medienkunst sind
computergest�tzte Installationen, die den gesamten Wahrnehmungskreis des
Betrachters ansprechen.
Naive Vorstellungen von immersiver Comuterkunst waren nicht selten von
LSD-generierten Abenteuern der siebiger Jahre inspiriert. Der Computer
als Rationalismusmaschine sollte in der immersiven Totale den Blick
befreien auf den Kern der Welt. Die Rede von der Wahrheit in der Kunst
m�ndet stets in Verdinglichung der Kunst und in der Verabsolutierung des
K�nstlers als gottgleiches Sch�pfer-Subjekt. Das gilt f�r Andr� Bretons
Kugelhagel auf das Publikum genauso wie f�r Stockhausens j�ngste Ekphrasis
auf den 11. September als �das gr��te Kunstwerk, das es �berhaupt gibt f�r
den gesamten Kosmos�.
Wie mu� Kunst Stellung beziehen zu diesem abendl�ndischen Fundamentalismus?
Das Medienforum fragt Protagonisten, die sich dem Thema wiederum mit
abendl�ndischen Kulturtechniken und gleichsam seitw�rts n�hern. Mit
Ironie, cusanischem Experiment und dem Versuch von Bildung. Die
Dekonstruktion von Immersion als Alternative zum totalit�ren Denken.
Masaki Fujihata (Tokio, Medienk�nstler)

Computeranimationen als einer der Pioniere japanischer Computerkunst.
Anfang der 90er Jahre erweiterte Fujihata sein Oeuvre mit
computerunterst�tzten Installationen und Skulpturen. Seine Ausstellung
Removable Reality (1992) setzte in der Zusammenarbeit mit dem
Architekten Kei'ichi Irie neue Akzente f�r raumbezogene Installationen.
Fujihata war Teilnehmer der Siggraph 1983 und 1984, sowie der
Ausstellung New Video Japan, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1986.

Subject: Symposium Bauhaus Dessau Serve City
(Please excuse cross posting!)
BAUHAUS DESSAU
SERVE CITY SYMPOSIUM
living and working in the interactive city
wohnen und arbeiten in der interaktiven dienstleistungsstadt
12 + 13 oktober 2001
Services were considered to be the future of urban development in the
20th century. Now interactive media rationalise the service
sector. They change our habitual patterns of communication, of space and
time. The spatial urban structure of the 20th century , the
separation of working and living, of private and public is eroding.
How is urban space transformed, when the work place becomes ubiquitous,
when services like finances and retail business turn into e-commerce,
when private households are digitalised, when the private house becomes
the place for working and everybody can create his or her own public
sphere? What will be the design of these collisions? These questions
will be subject to discussion on an international symposium addressing
design and architecture, planning cultural studies, communication theory
and economy. The symposium marks the beginning of the Bauhaus Dessau
Foundation's annual program 2001/2002, Serve City.
Die Dienstleistungsstadt war die Zukunft des 20. Jahrhunderts, nun
werden die Dienstleistungen durch interaktive Medien rationalisiert.
Gewohnte
Kommunikationsformen �ndern sich und mit ihnen die Vorstellungen von
Raum und Zeit. Die r�umliche Struktur der Stadt des 20. Jahrhunderts,
die Trennung von Arbeiten und Wohnen, von privat und �ffentlich l�sen
sich auf. Wie ver�ndert sich der st�dtische Raum, wenn der Arbeitsplatz
�berall sein kann, wenn Dienstleistungen wie Handel und Banken �ber das
Netz abgewickelt werden, wenn private Haushalte digitalisiert werden,
wenn die Wohnung zum Arbeitsort wird und jeder seine private
�ffentlichkeit herstellen kann? Wie sind solche Entwicklungen zu
gestalten?
Ein internationales Symposium mit Beitr�gen aus Architektur und Design,
den Kultur- und Kommunikationswissenschaften und �konomie wird diese
Fragen debattieren. Das Symposium ist die Auftaktveranstaltung f�r das
III. Bauhaus Kolleg und das Jahresprogramm 2001/2002 Serve City. Die
interaktive Dienstleistungsstadt wird Thema des Bauhaus-Kollegs wie auch
Gegenstand von Workshops und Entw�rfen, von Konferenzen und
Ausstellungen sein.

Netzkultur 2.0 / Catalogue of Strategies

Book-Presentation: Catalogue of Strategies (M. Gerritzen, G. Lovink, M.
Bruisma; BIS Publishers/Gingko Press 2001)
The CATALOGUE OF STRATEGIES documents a period of 10 years of graphic-, web-
and TV-design by Mieke Gerritzen and her co-workers in the recently founded
firm NL-Design. Gerritzen has coined a unique own style. Words and phrases
here often are used as pictorial elements, whole pages and books are
designed with text. Thus the text looses its function as a mere commentary,
the accompaniment of a pictorial message, or a detached narration, it
becomes itself an icon, a text image that transforms a content into a moment
of action. These forms of design are inseparable from the practical contexts
within which they developed. So the CATALOGUE OF STRATEGIES is also sort of
a work book which focuses on the connection of contents, design and
practical activities and shows how design takes an own specific role within
campaigns, conferences and other activist contexts, yet creating an
independent aesthetic dimension. URL of NL-Design: www.nl-design.nl. The
Dutch presentation of the book took place in Amsterdam on September 22.
Catalogue of Strategies will have a global distribution.
Lectures, Talk, Images: Netzkultur 2.0
The downturn of the internet-economy and the disintegration of digital
utopia - not long time ago having governed the minds - don't make net
culture less relevant today, but lead to a fundamental change of alignment.
Fantasies of our future virtual bodies and living environments have lost
their logic the daily grind and the increasingly perceived problems of the
real world. At the same time the net as a field of conflict is gaining ever
higher importance.
So "net-weariness" is not on the agenda, but instead an increased concern
with the political, economic and cultural circumstances, net-internally
as -externally. "Net-culture" and "net-criticism" are an important potential
counterweight against tightening economic and political power structures.
But it's important to stay pragmatic and not to end in isolated self-centred
attitudes. Practically this means to use creative skills and to establish
and defend autonomous areas, in which an independent and content-based
reflection can articulate and gain momentum.
Participants
Prof. Manfred Fassler is a communication scientist and cultural
anthropologist at Frankfurt University. He is also in charge of the research
project "cyberpoiesis", focusing on the working contexts of net designers,
artists and theorists and on "ambivalent" modes of net-based cultural
production. He is also co-organiser of "Entwerfen" (Oct./Nov. 2001), a
conference on contemporary knowledge production.
Mieke Gerritzen is among the most influential and innovative graphic and web
designers in the Netherlands and embeds her work in various
interdisciplinary contexts. Recently she founded her own firm NL-Design.
Also she is head of the design department of Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam
and initiated the screen-design-competition "International Browserday",
which after Amsterdam and New york is going to take place in Berlin this
year for the fifth time.
Petra Ilyes is a cultural anthropologist and currently working on a
comprehensive investigation of the impact of the ICT-industry on peripheral
societies. She will report on her recent field excursion to Silicon Valley
2001, along with a digital slide show.
Sebastian L�tgert from Berlin since 1998 operates several net portals like "
rolux.org" or "textz.com". At first sight they remind you of commercial
websites, offering various functionalities, decorated with seductive banners
etc. Actually however they contain tools and contents which in a useful
ironic way work anti-commercially and support autonomous and subversive
purposes.
Geert Lovink, Dutch media theorist and net activist who currently lives in
Australia will moderate the event. He is a member of Agentur Bilwet, and
together with Pit Schultz he founded in 1995 "nettime", one of the most
influential mailing lists on the "net discourse". He initiated a number of
important conferences and net culture projects and has written extensively
on media, political and cultural movements and "net criticism". For the last
time he was in Frankfurt with "Tulipomania Dotcom", a conference on the "new
economy" in Kunstverein.
Niels Werber, literary and media theorist, focuses among others on the
misrelation between HiTech utopias of the digital elite and the actual
social transformations taking place around them. Recent texts also examine
the technology discourse in the bourgeois feature pages or the relationship
of "global terrorism" and "cyberwars"

SYNOPSIS
In the "information war" of the new millenium, the first shots have already
been fired. And the "internet warriors" might be just one click away from a
virtual revolution.
So begins the story of THE HACKTIVISTS, a one-hour documentary which
provides a cutting edge snapshot of cultural subversion at the dawn of the
digital age. It explores the exponential growth in anti-capitalist activism
around the world and the new nodes of protest available via computers and
the internet. It�s a movement that�s leaderless, global, anarchic and
chaotic...the internet come to life! And its coming soon to a website and a
city near you.
We meet the faces behind the groups behind the electronic protests designed
to take capitalism offline. Theirs is a world where sit-ins have become
"virtual" and where negative publicity after an "online attack" can send a
company�s shareprice plummeting or shatter the image of the target
institution. We hear the killer story of the legendary TOYWAR of 1999,
where a US$8 billion online toy corporation was crushed when tens of
thousands of internet activists joined in a massive online "swarm" in order
to cripple its website and stop it doing business.
THE HACKTIVISTS gets inside secret organisations like ELECTRONIC DISTURBANCE
THEATRE, ELECTROHIPPIES and FEDERATION OF RANDOM ACTION. Their members go
by avatars such as RE:no and METAC0M...their "operations" have codenames
like MAIL-O-MATIC or DIGITAL ZAPATISMO. We unmask the key players in the
international world of internet activism. Can they save the world...or are
they "cyber terrorists" intent on breaking the law...or maybe just naughty
little geekboys intent on causing some digital mischief from the comfort of
their own homes?
The film plays out like a sly detective story. Across four continents, the
four main characters are revealed as planning an online protest for A20, the
next fixture in the ongoing "carnival against capitalism"Sthe Summit of the
Americas meeting in Quebec City in April 2001. Prisons are being cleared
and a second wall built around the old walled city as Canada prepares for
it�s biggest peacetime security operation. Canadian NART VILLENEUVE is
taking a bus from Toronto to be the "eyes and ears" of the online protest.
We see him retreating under teargas attack while chatting live with his
fellow hacktivists via his laptop and cellphone. French codeslinger RENAUD
COURVOISIER is offering up the latest version of his protest "drawing tool"
which sends a message to the target website with every stroke of the mouse.
PAUL MOBBS and his ELECTROHIPPIES are masterminding the whole operation from
an old farmhouse in Wales which is without hot water.
But the "cybersleuth" is on their trail. With the upsurge in web-based
activism has come a promising new enterprise...internet intelligence
agencies employed by big name companies to keep tabs on the hacktivists.
BEN VENZKE is a man at the top of his profession. "Now you can sit halfway
around the world and shut down a company�s ability to operate on the other
side of the world by clicking a couple of buttons." Proving his point are
the Quebec police, who admit to shutting down their website during the
Summit in fear of Electrohippy attack. "The fact that they were so easily
intimidated by the potential of information attack is a real augury of the
future," says US defence analyst JOHN ARQUILA. "Hacktivism works and it
will work even better as time goes by."
