Part road movie, part 3D driving game. DIY cinema for devotees. CNN Interactive just got more interactive� Infotainment ad absurdum: add a variety of soundtracks to the monolithic CNN Interactive website in an attempt to further mediate a moment of infotainment -to bring a cinematic conceit to this ever changing global news feed. CNN Interactive just got more interactive highlights the thin lines between fact and fiction, news making and entertainment. Telephony� Visitors can dial into a wall based grid of 42 Siemens mobile telephones, which in turn begin to call each other and create a piece of 'music.' Each phone has been individually programmed with a different ringtone. The more people who dial into the work, the more layered the audio becomes. Biographies: Jon Thomson & Alison Craighead have been working with video and sound since 1991. More recently they have been exploring the possibilities of the Internet and screen based multimedia to create navigable or user led environments. Many of their internet-based works seek to manipulate existing data (websites, sound tracks, ring tones) in surprising, critical and humorous ways. The latter often engenders a feeling of estrangement in the visitor. Recent exhibitions include 010101 Art in Technological Times� at The Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco and Art & Money Online� at Tate Britain. Jon Thomson studied BA Fine Art in Leicester and PG diploma Electronic Imaging at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and currently lectures at The Slade School of Fine Art in London. Alison Craighead studied painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and is currently a researcher into web specific art at the University of Westminster.

Nevertheless, we have been familiarized with similar images through blockbuster disaster movies in which national monuments such as the WTC, the White House, the Statue of Liberty and the Pentagon feature as terrorist targets. �Wiretap 7.13: Urban Collisions: New York� analyses the visual representation of the attacks of September 11th in New York from a cinematic, architectonic and cultural-symbolic point of view. Jutta Zaremba (D) Media theorist, researcher at the Department of New Media, Goethe University Frankfurt �MEDIA-SCRAPING: The Media-Arts� Presentation of New York Skyscrapers� How are skyscrapers presented in media-art? Which cultural and urban myths do they perpetuate or debunk? Birgit Richard (D) Professor of the Department of New Media, Goethe University of Frankfurt �9.11. and the Culture of Shifting� What happens when sets of fictitious images which were accepted for decades (think of movies like �Independence Day�) are replaced by �real� images? What is the effect on our view on images?

Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 08:43:26 -0800 Apologies for crossposting... !WSF/WEF GLOBAL SOLIDARITY BROADCAST! When: January 31st-Feb 5th The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is leaving its long time home in Davos, Switzerland and moving to New York City. If they thought that the Swiss people gave them a hard time, look out: New Yorkers will not sit by while the CEO's of the worlds largest corporations scheme there way to more profit and devastation in the global economy. The rest of the world is gathering in Porto Alegre for the World Social Forum. Unlike the WEF the WSF brings together a broad section of civil society, people already working hard to bring about a true global democracy free from the grip of transnational corporations. "Another world is possible." IMC-New York and IMC-Brazil will be broadcasting live from both events: bringing you the latest on the streets of New York, as well as the visionary words and ideas of the WSF in Porto Alegre. But what about the rest of the world? THE IMC RADIO NETWORK IS ASKING YOU TO HELP! Organize your local IMC to broadcast programming from your community for a global solidarity broadcast! How does living in a capitalist economy degrade local autonomy, community empowerment and grassroots democracy? How do the actions of transnational corporations destabilize the local economy, influence local politics and break established unions? Tech help and free software is available. HELP BUILD A GLOBAL RADIO BROADCAST! If you are interested in participating PLEASE ATTEND THIS IRC MEETING! NEXT IRC MEETING: Saturday, January 12th, 20:00GMT (18:00 DST in Brazil, 21:00 Mediterranean/continental Europe time, 22:00 Greece, 12:00 Pacific coast USA, 15:00 Atlantic coast USA. Ongoing organizing is happening on the [email protected] list Subscribe at <http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-audio> What will the Broadcast be like? We will have live broadcasts scheduled from as many local IMC's as possible, taking turns broadcasting to the same web stream using the D.R.O.P. network (Distributed Radio Open Project: http://radio.us.solipsists.org). The live programming will be archived and replayed in a play list until the next live broadcast comes on. Content will be a mix of interviews, news updates, call in's, and revolutionary music. The broadcast stream will be mirrored by revolutionary web casters and FM broadcasters around the world. YOU CAN BE A PARTICIPANT! - --------------------------------------------------------------- In order to broadcast Brazil IMC still needs the following items: ~a Pentium II with at least 64Mb of RAM, a CD player and a soundcard ~a Mixing board Donation contact for in kind or monetary donations: [email protected] - ----- End forwarded message ----- - -- jaromil ][ http://dyne.org ][ GnuPG _key__id_ EDEE F1B9 DC92 76C0 6D46 D77A 58B0 82D6 (5B6E 6D97) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 01:53:40 -0800 From: collective jukebox <[email protected]> Subject: [collective jukebox 4.0] invitation _______________________________________________________________ [french below] [francais plus bas] [apologies to anyone who receives this more than once] :::::::::: c o l l e c t i v e j u k e b o x 4.0::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::: i n f o : http://jukebox.thing.net/ :::::::::: i n f o : http://collectivejukebox.org/ :::::::::: d e a d l i n e : 18 FEB. 2002 :::::::::: p r e s e n t a t i o n : Geneva (Switzerland), March to September 2002 You are invited to take part in Collective JukeBox project.

There are 60 works already submitted. http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/index-en.html +++++++++++++++++++++ read_me festival 1.2 CONCEPT can be found here http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/about-en.html AWARDS: Authors of the best works will be awarded special money prizes from "ROSIZO" and "Macros-center": 1st prize - 500 USD 2nd prize - 400 USD 3rd prize - 300 USD IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline: January 31, 2002 Festival: 17-19 May 2002, Moscow. The following types of work can be referred to as artistic software: 1. Instructions (read_me) for modifying standard, commonly used software, as well as patches and anything that creates an artistic impact on software in a way not planned by the application's producers. 2. Deconstruction of existing software products, including computer games. 3. Programs written from scratch with a purpose different than the usual "rational" software purposes, i.e. the rejection of the idea of a program as a purely pragmatic tool. Since the curators of the festival do not consider it necessary for the framework of the artistic software categories to be too narrow, contact the curators if you are not sure if your work is suitable for read_me 1.2! If you would like to take a look at sample artistic software works, visit our links page.

It has just been announced today that the Second Reading of the Office of Communications Bill will take place in the House of Commons on Monday afternoon 14 January 2002. No amendments take place at Second Reading but the Bill will be debated in the Commons for the first time and MPs will have an opportunity to raise issues which they consider important. If you are ready to help with this lobbying effort you will need to contact your MP before Monday afternoon by phoning their constituency office, attending their constituency surgery at the weekend or by calling the House of Commons on Monday morning on 020 7219 3000. Ask them if they would speak in support of community media and tell them about your local community media group. There is a CMA briefing on the OFCOM Bill at www.commedia.org.uk/campaign/briefings/brief12.doc which you can download and fax to your MP to assist them during the debate. Further background briefings on the Community Media Campaign can be found on the CMA campaign pages at www.commedia.org.uk/campaign You can also watch the debate on Monday on cable TV on the BBC Parliament Channel or through the BBC website at www.bbc.co.uk/bbcparliament Best wishes Steve Buckley CMA Director - ---------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] - ---------------------------------------------------------- Visit the Community Media Association! http://www.commedia.org.uk - ---------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ cma-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/cma-l ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 21:23:47 EST From: [email protected] Subject: residency, papers, 2 jobs call..

(apologies for cross posting) (A panel proposed for the American Studies Association annual convention, Houston, TX, November 14-17, 2002) The language associated with new media and connected cultural and economic forces derives almost exclusively from English (the "World Wide Web" is a most obvious example). This panel seeks to explore the cultural contexts surrounding the global dissemination of the language of new media. What associations are implicit in the terms concerning information technologies? How does the terminology circumscribe the use of new media technologies? What are the cultural, political, social and economic ramifications of the spread of this language within and beyond U.S. borders? Please send 500-word abstracts and brief c.v. by January 12, 2002 to Jillana Enteen at [email protected] Jillana Enteen [email protected] http://www.rcnchicago.com/~jillana - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version>02 April 18-20 Calling all artists, designers, activists, multimedia producers, information architects, tactical media agents, programmers, musicians, filmmakers, concerned citizens and critical thinkers: This is a call for a gathering of the digital commons, and we want to hear from you! We are interested in your ideas, projects, sounds, films, papers and proposals concerning the future of the digital commons, and invite you to share them with us during our three-day convergence. The term /digital commons/ is derived from the Common Law movement in England in the 1600s. The movement called for the protection of shared public spaces - the "commons" - its tools and resources. Often, larger, private interests overran the commons, and this failure of the communities to maintain their public resources is known in the discourse as "the tragedy of the commons". This April 18-20, 2002, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago will host Version>02, a digital arts and technology convergence. To initiate the first iteration of this event, we are asking you to consider how the maintenance of this digital commons necessitates a dialogue about intellectual property, the balance between civil liberties and security, freedom of speech and privacy, and the implications of free or limited access to tools and information. We ask you to share your vision of this space, it1s present and future. Version>02 is an exploration of our digital commons and an opportunity to meet those who tend to its gardens, fences, and pathways. It is an investigation into maintaining, expanding and designing the commons, while ensuring the continuation of shared resources and information in all facets of communications. This April, Version>02, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and participating area galleries will provide a forum for artists, performers, and critical thinkers. For three days and three nights, this digital arts and technology will feature performances, film screenings, web installations, and demonstrations from active minds of the emergent culture. Interested?

Packer, Minister fuer Kunst und Technologie der Vereinigten Staaten, wird die Eroeffnungsansprache der transmediale.02 halten. US-Minister Packer engagiert sich gegen die Beschraenkung der Kunst durch anachronistische Anschauungen und zugunsten visionaerer Ziele einer kuenstlerischen Avantgarde. Auf der Eroeffnung der transmediale.02 wird er seine erste Rede in Europa halten (live im Internet uebertragen von Tel-SPAN), in der er eine von ihm initiierte Charta vorstellen wird (Berliner Charta zur Virtualisierung), die Medienkuenstler weltweit vereinigen soll. 5. Februar, 19 Uhr Haus der Kulturen der Welt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Das US-Ministerium fuer Kunst und Technologie Das US-Ministerium fuer Kunst und Technologie - http//www.usdept-arttech.net - ist als Einrichtung der Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten in erster Linie dafuer zustaendig, Kuenstlern die Erkundung eines weiter gefassten Kulturbegriff zu ermoeglichen, im Uebergang von der Idee zur Aktion. Es dient auch dem psychischen und geistigen Wohlbefinden aller Amerikaner, z.B. durch die Unterstuetzung kultureller Bemuehungen, die gegen Auswuechse neuer medialer Technologien in den sozialen Bereich immunisieren. Minister Packer gilt als Garant dafuer, dass das Ministerium fuer Kunst und Technologie sein utopisches Versprechen erfuellen und seine fundamentalen Wurzeln ehren wird - nicht nur anhand der Darstellung von Visionen aus der Vergangenheit, sondern auch durch die Foerderung aller amerikanischen Medienkuenstler. Die Integration von Kunst und Technologie ist die kuenstlerische Realitaet des 21. Jahrhunderts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Der Weltweite Virtualisierungsrat Der Weltweite Virtualisierungsrat wurde nach dem Modell der Raete der Vereinten Nationen gestaltet. Diese neue Initiative des US-Ministeriums fuer Kunst und Technologie soll kuenstlerische Kraefte fuer die weltweite Virtualisierung mobilisieren und koordinieren. Minister Randall M. Packer entwirft zusammen mit seinem Stab zur Zeit eine Charta (Berliner Charta zur Virtualisierung), die waehrend der transmediale.02 durch ein internationales Konsortium von dort anwesenden Kuenstlern, als Vertreter ihrer Nationen, ratifiziert werden soll. Bei der Eroeffnung der transmediale.02 werden die repraesentierenden Kuenstler die Charta in einer Zeremonie gemeinsam unterzeichnen. Es wird das erste globale Abkommen zwischen kuenstlerischer Avantgarde und internationaler Regierung sein. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Tel-SPAN Tel-SPAN ist ein oeffentlicher Dienst des US-Ministeriums fuer Kunst und Technologie. Seine Aufgabe besteht darin, global Zugang zu kuenstlerischen Prozessen in einer zunehmend kybernetisierten Gesellschaft zu ermoeglichen. Tel-SPAN versorgt seine Zuschauer mit live und in Echtzeit uebertragenen kulturellen Inhalten sowie Foren, in denen kritisch kuenstlerische Themen diskutiert und entschieden werden. Alles ohne Bearbeitung durch Schnitt, ohne Kommentare oder Analysen und mit einer ausgeglichenen Praesentation aller radikalen Standpunkte. Tel-SPAN versorgt Medienkuenstler, die Einfluss auf politische und oeffentliche Prozesse nehmen wollen, und bietet ihnen einen direkten Draht zum Publikum, ohne dessen Ansichten zu filtern oder zu veraendern. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGLISH VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + t r a n s m e d i a l e . 0 2 + + + n e w s l e t t e r 06 + + + 21-01-02 + + + t r a n s m e d i a l e . 0 2 + + + international media art festival + + + Feb. 5-10th, 2002 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

Packer, Secretary of the US Department of Art and Technology, will give the opening address for transmediale.02. Secretary Packer is committed to confronting artistic constraints free from anachronistic tendencies, defined by revolutionary practices, and dedicated to upholding the visionary aspirations of the avant-garde. For the opening of transmediale.02, the Secretary will deliver his first European address - Web broadcast live over Tel-SPAN - outlining a proposed Charter (Berlin Virtualization Charter) and its effort to catalyze the world's media artists. February 5, 19.00 hrs Haus der Kulturen der Welt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. The US Department of Art and Technology The US Department of Art and Technology - http//www.usdept-arttech.net - is the United States Government's principal agency for facilitating the artist's need to extend aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real action. It also serves the psychological and spiritual well-being of all Americans by supporting cultural efforts that provide immunity from the extension of new media technologies into the social sphere. Secretary Packer will make certain that the Department fulfills its utopian promise and honors its radical heritage, not only by articulating the visions of the past, but by supporting the advancement of all American media artists embracing the integration of art and technology as the artistic reality of the 21st century. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. The Global Virtualization Council The Global Virtualization Council, patterned after the Councils of the United Nations, is a new initiative introduced by the US Department of Art & Technology to mobilize and coordinate artistic forces of virtualization internationally. Secretary Randall M. Packer, together with his staff, is currently drafting a Charter, referred to as the Berlin Virtualization Charter, to be approved by an international consortium of artists representing all nations attending the transmediale.02 in Berlin. At the opening of the transmediale.02 the artist representatives will ratify the Charter by participating in a collective signing ceremony. This represents the first global accord between the artistic avant-garde and international Government. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Tel-SPAN Tel-SPAN is a public service created by the US Department of Art & Technology. Its mission is to provide global access to the artistic process in an increasingly cybernated society. Tel-SPAN provides its audience access to live, real-time distribution of broad forms of cultural content, and to other forums where critical artistic issues are discussed, debated and decided - all without editing, commentary or analysis and with a balanced presentation of all radical points of view. Tel-SPAN provides media artists who seek to influence the political discourse, public policy, and the future of art a direct conduit to its audience without filtering or otherwise constraining their points of view. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- transmediale.02 +++ newsletter 06 +++ annette schaefer +++ press office +++ [email protected] +++ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annette Sch�fer Presse&�ffentlichkeitsarbeit transmediale.02 [go public!] 5 - 10 february 2002 international media art festival berlin klosterstr. 68-70 10179 berlin germany fon +49 30 2472 1907 fax +49 30 2472 1909 <http://www.transmediale.de/>http://www.transmediale.de ............................................................................... ....................
