AHA: Activism-Hacking-Artvism
making art doing multimedia
Exhibition-Event on media Activism
On 8th February the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea of the
University of Rome "La Sapienza" inaugurates AHA: Activism-Hacking-Artvism
an exhibition organized by Tatiana Bazzichelli (www.strano.net/bazzichelli).
The main concepts of AHA, making art doing multimedia, are Activism =
political activism, Hacking = technological activism, Artivism = artistic
activism. AHA evidences a collective path, as result of a movement that from
the beginning of the Eighties struggles for an independent and self-managed
use of mass-media (video, computer, radio and written text) and today more
than ever, it is demonstrating to be one of the most valid alternatives to
the official information.
AHA is born as a thought consequent to the demostrations of July against the
G8 Summit of Genoa: territory not only of hard clashes, repression and
violence, as most of the mass-media have evidenced, but also an important
experience for whom constructs information from the base, with amatorial
cameras, movement websites, independent radio networks.
But AHA is also a thinking on artistic experimentation that uses the digital
technology in its more vital manifestations, necessarily incarnating the
attitude of he critical and self-managed use of mass-media. No more
art-works but processes, no more originality but reproducibility, no more
rappresentation of a unique genius but a collective action, example of a
creative skill that -inserted in a museum- opens the doors and walls.
The aim of AHA is to create a network inside the MLAC, integrating with
videos, with LANS with radios and with witten texts. A network composed of
independent groups and single activists who act in the mediatic,
technological and artistic field.
To name a few: Isole nella Rete, Indymedia Italia, Radio GAP, Strano
Network, Tactical Media Crew, Candida TV, Netstrike.it, AvANa.net,
Autistici/Inventati, copyDOWN, Dyne.org, all the Italian hacker movement,
the artists and activists Giacomo Verde, Tommaso Tozzi, the GMM (Giovanotti
Mondani Meccanici), Massimo Contrasto, Federico Bucalossi, Claudio Parrini,
Ferry Byte, Arclele, Mariano Equizzi (in coproduction with Luca Liggio and
the INTERACT), the theatre company Neguvon and the well known mature
magazines Decoder and Neural.
Tatiana Bazzichelli, communication sociologist, multimedia designer and
organizer of events/workshops on digital art, has been engaged for a long
time in carrying ahead a concept of real practical art inside of the
collective AvANa.net and in collaboration with the group Strano Network.
The exhibition, that starts from 8th February until 1st March, is part of
the exposition series "Laboratorio" proposed within the Dottorato di Ricerca
in "Borderart" and within the experimental Stages/Masters of Cura Critica
and Installation Museale, commissioned by the director of the Museum,
Simonetta Lux, and realized by the organiser of the MLAC Domenico Scudero.
Opening times: monday - friday 10-20

Play: is an activity (of animals and humans). It is done without
conscious purpose and out of enjoyment of the activity and of its
accomplishment. The play of humans can be understood as a, by various
factors determined behavior, which takes on a substantial role as
mediator between the individual and society, and which is
indispensable in every period of life.
garage 2002 is searching for artists' concepts and positions on the
discussion of the principles and mechanisms of games. Play with
conventions, techniques of play, game as a model for solving concrete
problems, game as a manipulation of perception, game as critical
reflection, game as game. The public space as playground. Trespassing
borders and networked playing. Mobile playing and mobile thinking.
Who defines the rules?
Are you ready to play? >>
The fesitval will present 3 weeks of exhibitions, concerts,
discussions, film screenings, workshops, which can be summarized
under three main topics.

Subject: COCO FUSCO'S VIDEO WORK AT ARCO IN MADRID
Coco Fusco's video ELS SEGADORS (The Reapers), will be featured at the ARCO
Art Fair Project Rooms in Madrid, from February 14 - 18. ARCO will be held at
the Juan Carlos Exhibition Center, in the Campo de las Naciones Complex. For
more information, please refer to:
www.arco-online.ua.es/ing/formularios/visitantes_ing.htm
Fusco is being represented at ARCO by The Project, New York
In her essay on Fusco's video, critic and poet Ana Nu�o writes:
"History is the subject of a structure whose site is not homogeneous, empty
time, but time filled by the presence of the now", noted down Walter Benjamin
in "On the Concept of History", one the last essays this Jewish German
philosopher wrote before committing suicide, panic-stricken at the thought
that the Spanish Guardia Civil could hand him over to the German Nazi police
officers. This happened 61 years ago in the little town of Port-Bou, the
first or the last (depending on one's point of view) Catalan town along the
coast border with France. When Coco Fusco came to Catalunya in June 1999...
she understood that one of those burning historical issues which infuses and
informs the present was, for Catalans, national identity. It was then that
she first struck on the idea of doing video work on this particular subject,
focusing on one of its emblems -Catalunya's national anthem.
...Coco Fusco's work, faithful to what Benjamin thought of as the historian's
task, fills one of Europe's most ancient ghosts -the nightmarish dream of a
homogeneous, ideally eternal, unaltered cultural essence- with the
invigorating "presence of the now". At a time when Europe must either accept
the "other" cultures which live in its soil, or condemn itself to sing old
vengeful patriotic anthems.

First Annual Google Programming Contest
In celebration of more than three years of delivering the best search
experience on the Internet, Google is sponsoring the first annual
Google Programming Contest.
Grand Prize
* $10,000 in cash
* VIP visit to Google Inc. in Mountain View, California
* Potentially run your prize-winning code on Google's
multi-billion document repository (circumstances permitting)
The Challenge
Google is providing a selection of about 900,000 web pages in
pre-parsed and raw format, together with a "ripper" program that
provides a framework for processing the pre-parsed data. Your mission
is to write a program (most likely by adding code to the ripper) that
does something interesting with the data, in such a way that it would
scale to a web-sized collection of documents. Part of your job is to
convince us of why your program is interesting and why it will scale;
other than that, you're free to implement whatever strikes your
fancy...

Subject: supervideo (G8) genua
http://candida.kyuzz.org/newsNOfram.html
On February 9 the video documentary Supervideo about Genua (G8) will be
released. The film is produced by Candidatv.
Supervideo is a 36min long video about what happened in Genova during the

pen.After a conctact with the Ghost of the Free Voice. SuperVideo, "mutant"
hero of free communication, looks for the truth collecting togheter the
voices of people met during the journey that will bring him to Genoa in the
days of the G8>>>>You'll have to help communication to set itself free!
Super Video collects informations, snatchs signals, records choruses....and
he has got an important missionl: to deliver a special tape to the "big of
the world" ...
>>>all the frequencies are under control...
>>>we are in danger!
If you would like to order the video throughout the web you can go to our
website and look under news at www.Candida.kyuzz.org
Candidatv, prendila prima di uscire.
Candida nasce dall'incontro di una decina tra giovani autrici, registi,
tecniche, appassionati e appassionate ricercatrici dell potenzialit� ancora
inespresse dei linguaggio audiovisivo. L'occasione si presenta nel 1999,
quando l'emittente locale Teleambiente (uhf 68) mette a nostra disposizione
uno spazio di un'ora a settimana. Era l'inizio di CandidaTV, un contenitore
di prima serata, in onda per 9 settimane, da dicembre '99 a febbraio '00. Il
programma si articolava in diverse rubriche su tematiche giovanili, dalla
musica all'animazione, dai problemi del carcere ai nuovi linguaggi
dell'informatica e della cultura. Ogni rubrica veniva lanciata da uno studio
"domestico", un'improbabile cucina dove tre presentatori (un ragazzo e due
ragazze) connettevano i vari temi con ritmi incalzanti. Presenze bizzarre
talvolta invadevano lo studio, chi per illustrare con orgoglio le forme di
vecchi elettrodomestici, chi per coadiuvare i presentatori nel lancio del
servizio successivo. Era la tv elettrodomestica, una televisione in cui i
codici e i temi trattati rispondevano a un preciso intento di ricongiungere
la spaccatura, talvolta troppo estraniante, tra pubblico e televisione
generalista. Insomma una televisione low fi, per una comunicazione di
qualit�.
Candida group, fatti di etere
In quell'occasione prese corpo un gruppo produttivo affiatato, che negli
anni ha dato vita a un giornalismo curioso e impertinente e che, d'altro
canto, non ha abbandonato la ricerca sulle simulazioni visuali, piccole
fiction e caricature su temi di attualit�. Queste produzioni, fra
l'informazione, la simulazione e l'infotainment, hanno suscitato l'interesse
di alcuni importanti organi di comunicazione: quotidiani (Repubblica,
Messagero, Manifesto, Metro), televisioni (RAI1, RAI3, RAISAT), riviste
specializzate, (Filmaker), agenzie on-line (AGI). La realizzazione dello
spot ufficiale della ROBE di KAPPA per i campionati Europei di calcio Under
21 ha avuto notevoli consensi di critica, e ha partecipato, nella sezione
dedicata agli spot pubblicitari, all'edizione del 2001 del festival di
Cannes.
Candida live, il tuo filo intermentale
Ma Candida � anche un gruppo di videoinstallatori. Se la tv ha ucciso le
piazze, sar� forse il caso di tornare sul luogo del delitto? Nell'agosto del
1998 il Napoli Stritt Festival, ci invitava a esibirci nei vicoli dei
quartieri spagnoli. Per tre sere una piazza fu animata da un'installazione
video interattiva, con una regia volante che permetteva la gestione di un
palinsesto continuamente ridefinito dalla partecipazione del pubblico. Dopo
quell'esperienza Candida ha continuato a occuparsi con successo della
realizzazione di video-live set, video-installazioni e e della creazione di
eventi multimediali. Nel 2000, a Roma (quartieri Torre Maura e Torre
Spaccata) ha visto la luce Torre Maura TV in collaborazione con il
Laboratorio di Cultura Urbana Godzilla (Leg. 285). Un laboratorio di
videomaking di base dedicato ai giovani di quartiere.

Government agencies and private companies are increasingly violating
the privacy of people everywhere. Enormous amounts of personal data
are being collected, stored and processed - often illegally - in the
pursuit of more efficient marketing, greater social control, and more
powerful mechanisms for monitoring of the citizen.
Every year Privacy International and a growing number of affiliate
human rights groups present the Big Brother Awards to government
agencies, private companies and individuals who have excelled in the
violation of our privacy. The juries worldwide consist of lawyers,
academics, consultants, journalists, civil right activists.
The first Dutch Big Brother Awards will be held in Amsterdam on the
15th of February. Today the jury announces the nominations in four
categories: government, companies, persons and proposals. In every
category one winner will be awarded with an 'Orwell'. The Dutch Big
Brother Awards are organised by Bits of Freedom, a privacy and civil
liberties organisation based in Amsterdam.

Subject: ***PROJECT ENDURING LOOK: call for slides & short videos***
PROJECT ENDURING LOOK: open call for 35mm slides, photographs, "found"
photo-based images, and short (1-10 minute) videos (***SEE SPECS BELOW).
"The war isn't over, but already Pentagon and intelligence agency teams are
going to Afghanistan for a post-mortem on U.S. weapons and tactics. The Air
Force has launched a similar effort, code-named "Enduring Look."
- -- WILLIAM M. ARKIN, Special Correspondent, LA Times, January 16, 2002
PROJECT ENDURING LOOK, which will run from Feb. 15-Feb. 24 at the 1926
Exhibition Studies Space of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago,
will involve students, faculty, and staff, along with other artists,
performers, community organizers, writers, and academics in a series of
ephemeral events, projects, and gatherings which address the role of
culture "during wartime." Specifically, the project will investigate shifts
in rhetoric and public feelings over the past 6 months in the U.S., and the
real and perceived narrowing of what is deemed "appropriate" and
"acceptable" expressions of politics, emotions, and critical thought in a
period of crisis and confusion.
Through a building series of projections, performances, film and video
screenings, actions, and exchanges, PROJECT ENDURING LOOK will both include
and exceed the limits of agit-prop by embodying grief, empathy, and
contradiction. We will extend the boundaries of permissible speech and
action as we mix up art audiences and community organizers, peace activists
with radical academics. We aim to engender productive exchanges,
characterized by openness, energetic critique, and solidarity.
Given that the 1926 space is a house - the former residence of artist Roger
Brown - PROJECT ENDURING LOOK will use the literal and metaphorical
meanings of "house." The project will begin quietly, almost mutely. For the
first several days, the house will be closed, the interior "blacked out."
Slide and video projections will fill the front windows and project onto
the street. As the ten days of the project proceed, the house will open up
little by little, culminating in a busy and multi-faceted "Open house/Safe
House" on the closing days and nights.
***SPECIFICS: we are looking for:
1. Vertical slides (or images that can be easily scanned to be made into
vertical slides) for a silent, continuous, dual-projection installation. We
are looking for images of the insides of abandoned homes and public
buildings, or their remnants, destroyed or worn away by "natural
disasters," acts of war, or history. The images may be ambiguous as to
location and time.
2. Horizontal slides (or images that can be easily scanned to be made into
horizontal slides) for a silent, continuous, dual-projection installation.
These images should be based on the idea of "landscape" in war or crisis,
broadly interpreted beyond the landscapes of e.g. Afghanistan or New York
City. Please do not send over-saturated/exhausted images (e.g., no twin
towers on fire).
3. Short, ambient videos (image or text-based) on the project's themes for
a looped rear-projection video installation.
4. Short videos for a looped monitor presentation, which reference,
appropriate, or "talk back" to TV and media footage/images from "the new
war" and current crisis.
***FORMATS: 35 mm slides or JPEGS on ZIP disk. PLEASE do not send
attachments unless you get an email OK from us first. Ephemera and print
material OK as long as images fit within the vertical or horizontal
proportions for a 35mm slide.
***Videos must be under 10 minutes (1-5 minutes PREFERRED), NTSC, VHS.
Please send in bubble-wrap, NOT fiber-filled envelopes.
***EXCRUCIATING DEADLINE: ASAP, or, at the latest by Feb. 11, 2002***
Please send a SASE if you'd like your materials returned.
All material included will be credited/acknowledged to the
artist/lender/participant in printed material at the site.
Thanks! we look forward to your contributions.

hello nice
within the next few days there might be problems with mailinglist and nice
website
as it seems that domain name x-i.net is stolen
nameservers in latvia still are recognizing this domain today
but most likely tomorrow it will be gone
jaanis is trying to figure out what and how has happened
but it seems that there are so many domain name selling companies on the
net, that they are monitoring when existing domains expire, and within the
same milisecond they are re-registering = steeling those expired domains
last year it happened with Locomotive project borderland.org
(now this project is running on new domain - borderland.tv )
we will save the list of nice subscribers, and will make new nice list on
other domain name, if we will not get back x-i.net

Subject: Trigger Words #2 (a Carnivore Client)
During the weekend of February 1st 2002, delegates from the World
Economic Forum arrived in the Midtown area of New York City. To greet
them were thousands of protestors, themselves greeted by what the New
York Times called a "stern police response." The police and the
protesters generally kept the peace, with only 200 arrests and little
violence.
Meanwhile, in a different corner of the city, a small group of hackers,
artists, and activists--or "hacktivists"--met to catch their breath,
organize political materials, and of course check their email. They
chose a venue unknown to the police, the Eyebeam center for media art on
West 21st Street. They also chose their own security system, one that
would protect the integrity of their sensitive computer communications.
They chose Carnivore.
Carnivore is an efficient data collection and analysis system used to
monitor all forms of Internet communication. It is a premium service of
Radical Software Group (RSG), the all-star collective of computer
artists hand selected from cities around the world. Like the FBI
software on which it's based, Carnivore is a non-invasive spying tool
that collects email and web traffic from its local environment. Because
Carnivore was installed last weekend in the same building where the
hacktivists were checking their email, RSG was granted a unique
perspective on the use of digital communications inside the protest
zone.
During the weekend of demonstrations the following organizations used
the Eyebeam facilities: Las Agencias (http://www.lasagencias.net/), The
"bike writer" group from MIT
(http://architecture.mit.edu/~atmarcus/bikewriter/writer.html), Bureau
of Inverse Technology (http://bureauit.org), Institute for Applied
Autonomy (http://www.appliedautonomy.com/), RTMark (http://rtmark.com),
and The Yes Men (http://theyesmen.org/). It is not known how long each
group used the facilities. Some simply visited, others used it often.
However, once inside the Eyebeam surveillance zone, one hundred percent
of the hacktivists's Internet communications were monitored by
Carnivore.
Data collection itself is worth nothing without appropriate analysis.
Thus, Carnivore offers superior diagnostics created by the world's
leading software artists. For example Mark Napier, a New York artist,
has released an analysis tool for Carnivore called "Black and White"
(http://www.potatoland.org/blackwhite/). He used this tool to calculate
the overall truth or falsity of the hacktivists's data. After several
days of monitoring, their data was found to be %37 true and %63 false.
Another diagnostic is called "Trigger Words." This tool records the
frequency of sensitive words--words such as "nuclear" or "White House."
After several days of monitoring, the hacktivists maintained a fairly
mainstream communications vocabulary. For example, while the word
"anarchy" was used 3 times, the word "freedom" was used 64 times. "Hate"
scored a high 75, however it was outranked by "hope" with 138 instances.
Several rare or unusual terms were also employed by the hacktivists at
at least once during their weekend of web use. These include: kiwi,
Fukuyama, and ninja (used 29 times!). Complete statistics appear at the
end of this message.
If you are in search of an effective data collection and analysis
solution, please try Carnivore. From schools to cybercafes to corporate
offices, Carnivore brings meaning to information. Analysis tools are now
available from Cory Arcangel/BEIGE, Mark Daggett, Josh Davis,
Entropy8Zuper! and others. For more information, visit
