| <nettime> Nettime-zh: Chinese Nettime Announcement |
dear nettimers, I am glad to share this info with all of you. Please pass it to any Chinese reading people to join our action. best regard, ilya --- Nettime-zh Chinese nettime information exchange and relay, beta-test initiated in 2001, October. Hybridity of cultures of geeks and activists, local and global, mailing lists and other internet services. Providing UTF-8 chinese writing/reading people a platform for net activation. (see announcement below) Nettime-zh Announcement Nettime-zh aims to be a global list and weblogging platform discussing the 'something-in-common' between the transnational digital new medium territory and net.local reality, for the Chinese reading / multilingual society. Here we use our native language, Chinese, to discuss and exchange opinions, but this time not (only) to translate and import, nor to broke and resell culture to a place yet uncovered by the digital tide, but to engage actively in building the informational backbone across encoding barrier and technology literacy boundries. Zh is our effort and symbol to overcome the border/separation of Traditional/Simplified Chinese and the dialects, like "Chinese" in its original sound, Zhong-wen, shared, listened and read by the global Chinese community. Zh is also place to contain the local pressure, displacement sorrow, sentamental tension of the globalizing hurricane. A place to hold the confusions and also the progressment. It starts from Taiwan, the only government dare to turn its back against globalization and China, continues its own solitude isolation in its independent dilemma. From its twisted closure/openness and poverty/abundant in history/culture and language, we, as part of the digital diaspora, depart to construct connections. Mark it as a new RAM injected into the glocal cultural brain, we want to evoking new circuits of hybrid interaction, turning the displaced finding its homeland /new departure-point @ cyberspace. Multiple Entry Points Nettime-zh features a multitude of entry points and medium: In http://zh.nettime.org/, we feature selected topics and annotations into the metalist project, a slashdot-like discussion and content syndication platform for the general audience. The zh@wiki is the first stage of our presence ---- it works as FAQ, whoswho, and the jargon file, the collective memory of nettime-zh. In cvs://zh.nettime.org/, we'll share the building code of the nettime-zh platform. We'll also discuss related projects, coding practices, cultural impact, and utilization methods. In mailto:[email protected], we hold an interview-oriented activity zone. Modeled after the "Ask Slashdot" events, we aim to sharing URLs and express what we've learned about recent events, and find clueful persons to talk with. In order to initiate discussions, we will take a "critical media space" position, routinely annotate mainstream media coverages in different angles, to locate the contents absent in the current news. As a related project, nettime-zh also aims to be a presentation backstage of teach-and-learn in-and-of cyberspace. Whilst we hack around Taiwan, leaving our trajectories across high schools and universities, orgs and studios, we want to document these hacktavistas, vision and experiences of those precious moments. So, welcome to zh, and make yourself @home. autrijus, ilya and umberto nettime-zh initiators Autrijus Tang Ilya Eric Lee Umberto Chen ----- # You're WATCHing the nettime-zh mailing lists, # A global zh interactive info-playground. # Digital diaspora of world wide Chinese readers. # Home : http://zh.nettime.org/ # Weblog : http://meta.elixus.org/ # Archive : http://lists.elixus.org/wws/arc/nettime-zh/ # Publishing : mailto:[email protected] # Unsubscribing: mailto:[email protected] # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
