Subject: satmundi
The body becomes the main instrument of man's interpretation of
reality.The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and
a peace, a inside and a outside.The body is the full being who does not
suppress or eliminate his passions. He does not accept one part of himself
and condemn other parts, but accepts his nature and the conditions of life
as they are.The body itself is within history in this way: The body is
molded by a great many distinct regimes; it is broken down by the rhythms
of hyper-texted body.SATMUNDI is announcing the new VRML work from Ricardo
Barreto, "body" http://www.satmundi.com/body/windowbody.html

Break 21
6th International Festival of Emerging Artists
May 19th E 24th, 2002
Ljubljana, Slovenia
http://www.break21.com
Organiser
K6/4, Kersnikova 6, Ljubljana, Slovenia
BREAK 21 - Statement of Purpose
The festival is dedicated to younger, not yet recognised artists who
modulate their artistic expression within research artistic practice.
The age limit has been abandoned by this yearUs festival to be able to
follow the theme more thoroughly. Besides artistic works, selected
through Call for Applications, selectors have the opportunity to invite
authors, whose known works may add up to the entire exhibition of the
chosen theme. However we will prefer the latest projects, which are, in
our opinion, important for the discourse, pursued by the festival, in
the selection.
In the year 2002, the festival construction will differ from the last
five editions. We will invite only the artists, who are indispensable
for the presentation or installation of their works, to Ljubljana; the
rest of them will be presented with their works. Holders of the
programmes will take up the roles of selectors since they have already
been connected to permanent activities of the K6/4 board. The festival
will thus obtain the content frame, which can already be detected in the
current activities of the K4 club, which will provide the sound, the
Kapelica gallery, which covers the field of the visual arts and
performances, and the Kiberpipa, which covers the field of cybernetics,
video and film production. We also invited a few associates, who
specialise in the field of cartoons, animated films, short films, web
art, designing, culinary art and fashion to help us in the selection.
Custodians of the festival (we invited them from Zagreb, Croatia, this
year) proposed the theme, which, we believe, opens an extremely
important, stigmatised and taboo field in totalitarianism of the
consumer society. Custodians will make a selection of applicants
together with selectors/advisors, who are experts for specific artistic
fields. Concurrently, uniform criteria of the selection are being
guaranteed.
We tend to create the selection and the Break 21 festival upon explicit
artistic projects, texts, and not numerous exhibits to be able to
reflect upon the selected field precisely enough, since the selected
field will be presented in the collection of texts after the festival.
We expect around 60 participants, including artists, researches,
engineers, theoretician and publicists to participate at the festival.
In the postproduction of the festival, a catalogue on CD ROM will be
published. Later on, we will publish a printed collection of texts and
artistic project, presented at the Break 21 festival, and projects,
which influenced the development of the selected theme greatly, for
which we would like to become the reference in the future.
THEME: "Dead or Alive"
"Dead or Alive" implicates the urge, which tends to satisfy something at
all costs, taking no regard whether it demands the life to be taken. It is
assumed, that it represents something, for which, imperatively, it is
greater than life or death. In the tendency to give up life as the highest
value, the sacrifice is implicated or some urgent denunciation in the
economy of one's own life, which we could call a particular death, for the
sole purpose to accomplish something. In the title, the initial question
appears. It questions death and life; it demands an answer to the question
about definitions, what is actually dead and what is alive. To what extent
something is dead, though only inert; to what extent something is alive,
though tends to be prolonged with the help of machines; how to understand
organic material in the cryobanks and how biotechnical
mechanisms/organisms? Are the cyber space and avatars with artificial
intelligence, which are present in the Hollywood apparatus of the
imaginary or the top cyber laboratories, our or the parallel world?
Bionics and eugenics establish new paradigms of life and death as much as
nanomechanics and intelligent neuronic nets. Artificial life is the
oxymoron, which penetrates the core of our theme.
Questions, posed to us by high technology, are still utterly legitimate in
traditional sense, since we understand them through the perspective of
modern age. Intermingling of everyday violence, which we encounter in the
streets, car accidents, murders, suicides, diseases, wars and catastrophes
on higher scales are balancing with births, rebirths, changes of identity
and initiations, creations of new life situations and cosmic phenomena.
Religious repertoires and great ideologies are all built upon dichotomy of
life and death. They tend to be valid within the scale of the universal,
while moments of ecstasy during meditation or sex, pain and dreams are
utterly intimate and identical to themselves. Mental deviations, such as
insanity, psychosis, neurosis, obsessions, paranoia and hysteric states
were interpreted as a kind of intermediary state between life and death in
primitive cultures, while in modern societies, the border between the
healthy as an attribute of life and the ill as an attribute of death is
being obliterated.
Life and death are great themes of art and a lot has been said about them,
however, some things can't be talked about too many times. Our intention
is for artists to deal with them innovatively, through the perspective of
new art and research artistic practice, which owns a tactical value that
points more at the poetics of life than poetics, which is already known
from traditional aesthetic paradigms. Forms of expression may not be
products and aesthetic artefacts but rather processes, states, situations
... that comprise the dimension of time - transition.

pictures, music and sound, architecture, applied arts, culinary arts.
PRESENTATION FORMS

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS E BREAK 21/2002
Theory
We will organise a series of lectures and presentations and the texts
will be published in the catalogue. We will also publish essays,
theoretic and critical texts of the selected theme. The emphasis will be
put primarily on the texts, which deal with the complex of life and
death through the perspective of modern and new art. Proposals for
lectures should be texts (in Slovene and English language) and the list
of photos or videotapes matching the lectures. Theoretical texts should
not exceed 32 typed pages (48000 characters E no spaces), and critical
texts should not exceed 16 typed pages (24000 characters E no spaces).
Visual Arts
Proposals for the exhibition of printed material (cartoons, graphic
prints, digital prints), photographs, interactive works, visual
communication (subvertising), computer-assisted art (from web art to
robotics) etc. should be clearly presented (in written form, with
pictures and sound) so that the content and technical demands are well
understood for the presentation (max. one typed page in Slovene and
English). In the presentation material, all dimension and technical
demands (equipment) should be evident (hardware, software, audiovisual
equipment, installation aids/tools etc.).
Performative Art
Performances should be clearly presented, either described in details
(scenes with time) or numbered photo documentation, or a videotape of
the performance. Performances in which the authors take part and where
technical equipment represents the scene have the priority. Besides the
content presentation of the performance the application should also
include the description of technical equipment, in which the part,
prepared by the organisers, should be specified separately.
Intermedia Art
Projects, which comprise various procedures of expression, should
include the background, so that a suitable presentation environment can
be selected, since events will take place at various locations. A typed
page of the presentation is required (in Slovene and English), sketches,
photo and video material. The description of the equipment and special
demands should be included in the text, which the organiser will resolve
at the specific location.
Mobile Picture
Films in all categories will be presented at the festival:
documentaries, fiction, video art, animated films, experimental films,
short films ... According to the content of the film we will select the
appropriate location, so that the films will be presented in suitable
halls; video and animated films will be installed as projections or
installations. Therefore, authors should specify demands and
requirements of presentations. Regardless of the form of media, used to
present the works (formats 70 mm, 35 mm, 16 mm, DVD, Beta), all films
should be sent in VHS format, electronic works on CD ROM, DVD or over
the Internet.
Music and Sound
The field includes concerts, sound installations and intermedia
performances, in which sound holds the priority. The most suitable form
of concert presentations is the video format, and the most suitable form
of installations is the draft or tape on CD, or a precise description of
the sound, which is expected. In any case, the presentation should
include technical demands, specially the part, which has to be prepared
by the organiser.
Architecture
We do not intend to exhibit sacral architecture and equipment, which was
built or is in the process of building, nor we expect competition
proposals, which will never take place. We are interested in the
projects, which sublimate themes of life and death in the most radical
meanings. Architectural semiology should be oriented towards conceptual
projects and less towards utilitarian realisations. In the competitive
phase, the projects, which represent intermedia, will be favoured,
however, they can be presented in 2D, on CD all over the Internet.
Application should include a typed page of the text (in Slovene and
English).
Applied Art
The selected theme evokes the memory of applicative objects, which have
more or less ritually accompanied humanity through the history. In
highly urban environments, extremely individual life stiles develop and
invent graphic attributes and other symbolic gestures for personal
rituals in the alienated everyday life. Although we recognise the
fashion creativity through fashion machinery of the consumer society, we
decided to underline the part of a designing production, which holds
highly personalised approach and thus point at semiology of dressing,
which wrenches from the vice of mass economy. Proposals should be
photographed and equipped with half a typed page of description and
eventual technical requirements. Photographs or extremely precise
sketches, including comments, should present dresses in the application
for fashion designing.
Culinary Art
The question of life and death is structurally important in culinary
art, thus we think that creativity within the theme gives excellent
opportunities. Cooks, who tend to realise the menus, are offered the
classically equipped kitchen and assistants who will help him/her
prepare 50 meals per term. During the festival, the kitchen will be set
up to provide meals for participants and visitors. We believe that
participants and visitors of the festival are the ideal public for
dishes, which are hard to realise on other occasions.
TRAVEL EXPENSES AND ACCOMMODATION
Organiser will provide for three nights with breakfast, three lunches
and dinners. Travel expenses have to be covered by the participants or
can be subsidised with the help of organisers (applications to embassies
or foundations).

"As the Web moves into its second decade, the Academy remains committed to
celebrating the sites and individuals that are setting standards and
pushing boundaries."
For the first time, The Webbys will accept entries for the Best Practices
Award, which recognizes a single site that serves as a model of excellence
in each of the Webby judging criteria: content, structure and navigation,
visual design, functionality, interactivity, and overall experience. The

director and founder of The Webby Awards. "We're looking forward to
finding another extraordinary mix of sites in 2002."

BACK COVER BLURB
Established in January 2001, fibreculture is a forum for Australian
net culture and research, encouraging critical and speculative
interventions in the debates concerning information technology, the
policy that concerns it, the new media for(u)ms it supports and its
sustainable deployment towards a more equitable Australia.
Fibreculture is committed to fostering and promoting open,
independent, critical, participatory and sustainable forums.
The fibreculture network comprises theorists, critics, journalists,
academics, artists, activists, policy developers and all sorts of
media producers, designers and other information-workers.
Fibreculture is working towards productive dialogues around our
distinctive engagements with/in new media & internet theory and
practice. The inaugural fibreculture reader is an encounter with
some of these dialogues in process: offering not conclusions or
closures but rather an invitation to further reflection, debate, and
action.

Subject: Call for Papers
Performance Research
Vol.7 No.4 (Winter 2002)
'On Archives and Archiving'
Call for Contributions
'On Archives and Archiving' will be Volume 7, Issue 4 of 'Performance
Research'
and will be jointly edited by Richard Gough with guest editor Heike Roms.
Deadlines are as follows:
Proposals: February 28th 2002
Finalised Copy: May 15th 2002
Publication Date: December 2002
'On Archives and Archiving' will be the fourth issue of a volume on
'Textualities: scores, documents and archives' (PR, Vol.7, Nos 1-4, 2002)
which considers the changing nature of performance texts and relations
between writing, textuality and performance in four related issues: On
Editing, Translations, On Fluxus and On Archives.
Performance is widely regarded as that which cannot be archived - its
presentness at odds with the archive's quest for permanence, its disappearing
acts resisting the desire to label, stack and store. Yet at the same time as
performance has asserted its radical ephemerality the demand for documenting
and archiving its practices on behalf of performance research and
historiography has grown. What then is performance's relationship with the
archive?
The editors invite contributions that explore this relationship in all its
facets, including the role of performance in the culture of the archive and
the role of the archive in conceptualisations of performance; the cultural
histories and ideologies of archival practices; the future of performance and
the archive in the digital age; performance as an archive of its own history;
performative interventions into archival culture; the role of forgeries,
rumours and lies in the development of performance history; the role of the
document in performance research; the practices of performance archives; and
performers' archives.
Possible topics (in alphabetical order):
access - accumulation - arrangement - assemblage - association - authenticity
- - autobiography - body - book - bone - box - capacity - catalogue - category
- - classification - collage - collection - conservation - copy - counterfeit -
cyberspace - data - decay - depository - destruction - diary - digital -
disappearance - document - drawer - dust - ephemerality - error - eternity -
evidence - facsimile - fake - file - flesh - forgetting - fragment - future -
goneness - hide - history - image - information - installation - internet -
inventory - journal - knowledge - label - letter - library - lies - list -
loss - memory - name - network - omission - orality - order - original -
palimpsest - paradox - past - preservation - private - public - quotation -
recycling - reconstruction - remains - restoration - rubbish - ruin - rumour
- - safety - saving - searching - secret - storage - sound - system - time -
trace - uncover - virtual - witness - wunderkammer - xyz
'On Archive and Archiving' will continue the discussion on archiving and
performance begun in earlier issues of Performance Research ('On Memory' and
'On Maps and Mapping'). Responses to previous contributions on the theme are
especially welcome.
Performance Research is interested in proposals for visual and textual work
that makes use of the resources of the page, and in work that may use several
versions of a text. We are interested in scores and other performance
documents, interviews, discussions, proposals for review essays of
performance, digital, time-based work and books, and in collaborations
between artists and critics.
This issue will be edited by Richard Gough, General Editor of Performance
Research, and Heike Roms, Consultant Editor of Performance Research.
We actively welcome submissions on any area of performance research, practice
and scholarship. Proposals and articles will be accepted on hard copy, disk
or by e-mail attachment (MS Word). Please DO NOT send images by email
attachment without prior agreement.
Proposals, submissions and enquiries should be sent direct to:

To enter the competition, participants should present a project for a
basically musical activity which takes as its central theme TYRANNY, with
everything that this concept suggests to the artist.
The two winners will each give a concert/action on 19 and 20 April 2002 in
the auditorium of the CCCB. They will also each receive a cash prize of
1,500 Euros, which will include all expenses (composition, performance,
etc...).
The project, including a detailed explanation of the activity, must reach
the CCCB by 11 March. It may be presented in traditional format or on
computerised support for Windows 2000. The jury will particularly value
the incorporation of elements which are extraneous or related to music
(video, dance, performance, visual arts, literature, etc...).
The space will be equipped with all the infrastructure needed to organise
a concert with the possibility of simultaneous projection and the
necessary backline.

Media Studies, Turku 2001
Last September, University of Turku (Finland) hosted an international
conference on the broad issues of affectivity and embodiment. Now in all 34
workshop presentations from this conference have been published as an
e-book on line. Exploring how affects are constructed, experiences
signified and embodiment articulated, it features readings of film,
television, new media, advertisements and print journalism, as well as
arts, architecture and music. Approaches range from philosophical and
aesthetic to historical and sociological.
The e-book, as well as individual contributions (listed and linked at
http://www.utu.fi/hum/mediatutkimus/affective/proceedings.html) can be
downloaded at no cost. However, you will need an Adobe Acrobat Reader
(preferrably version 5) which is available (at no cost) at
<http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html>.

Subject: eipcp | new issue: pre_public
The new issue of the eipcp's electronic journal is now online:
pre_public | http://www.eipcp.net
pre_public assembles selected texts on contemporary practices of
participatory public art. The contributions by Oliver Marchart, Gregory
Sholette, Ulf Wuggenig / Larissa Buchholz, Rahel Puffert, Eva Sturm,
Andrea Fraser, Pascale Jeann�e, Helmut Draxler, Gerald Raunig, and John
Malpede are particularly concerned with interventionist and activist
projects which, in the last decade, have formed new intersecting zones
of the political and the cultural field.
The title pre_public refers to the fact that participatory artistic
projects aim at creating the preconditions for new public spheres. At
the same time it announces the upcoming project of the eipcp:
RE | PUBLIC | ART intends to foster the field of participatory public
art and its actors by means of specifically targeted measures within the
fields of art, theory production and cultural politics.
