ACOUSTIC.SPACE.LAB
**************************************
http://acoustic.space.re-lab.net/lab
Acoustic.Space.Lab is a networked, communications-art project exploring radio
waves, satellite transmissions and the exploration of the atmosphere and of
outer space. The core of the project is a large archive of audio, video, and
radioastronomy data gathered at a Soviet-era 32m dish antenna in Latvia in the
Fall of 2001. Various artists have been invited to work with, reinterpret, and
remix this archive to create new projects which expand the network and invite
artistic dialog.

************background****************
>From August 4-12, 2001, twenty five media artists and activists from three
different continents gathered together in the forests of western Latvia at the
site of a Soviet-era 32meter dish antenna. Formerly used to spy on satellite
transmissions between Europe and North America by the KGB, the antenna was
abandoned and nearly destroyed when the Russians departed in 1994. The dish is
currently under repair for civilan use as one of the top 5 most precise
radiotelescopes in the world. Over the days of the symposium, Acoustic Space
Lab participants used the dish in three main ways:
1) The dish was explored in an acoustic fashion. It's groans, buzzes and sirens
were recorded, and the dish itself was used as a massive parabolic microphone
to scan the surrounding environment.
2) The dish was used in its 'original' fashion. Satellites from the INMARSAT
network were located and snooped on. Analog mobile phones, ship to shore
communications, air traffic control signals and data packet transmissions were
monitored and recorded.
3) The dish was used in its 'retrofitted' fashion. Jupiter, Venus, and (most
sucessfully) the Sun were located and scanned using precise radioastronomy
equipment operating in the 11 GHz range.
The Acoustic.Space.Lab was organized by the RIXC media lab in Riga, Latvia,
with support from the Daniel Langlois Foundation, the Latvian Cultural Capital
Funds, the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Center (LV), A Tehnolgijas
(LV), the V2 Center for Unstable Media (NL), Kunstradio/Radio ORF (AT) and the
Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
Special recognition goes to Marko Peljhan + Project Atol and Dmitry Bezrukov
for technical support, and to Rasa & Raitis Smits for their organizational
efforts.

Betreff: Postmarked: A Mail Art Project (for contacts from Lorne Falk)
Dear Monika Fleischmann
We are a group of design students at the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA, USA. Lorne Falk
recommended that we contact you in regards to our
project that follows.
The events that occurred on September 11, 2001
prompted us to initiate a visual dialogue with other
nations in regards to the worldwide problem of
terrorism. To facilitate this dialogue we designed
Postmarked: A Mail Art Project.
As we discussed the ideas behind the project, the
following questions were raised: Who is a terrorist?
How does one view a terrorist? What is an act of
terrorism? We decided to focus on addressing these
questions.
In an effort to acquire a diverse group of responses,
we have compiled a database of countries and areas
categorized as having been exposed to non
state-sponsored acts of terrorism in the past 25
years. We decided to send packages of ten postcards to
five art schools in each of the more than eighty-five
countries, inviting a response. Art schools are the
primary focus because we are looking for a visual
response. We hope to spark a visual dialogue with our
peers in other countries.
In the end, our intention was to create a postcard
design that would invite the recipient to respond and
therefore create a correspondence that involves many
different participants, from many different nations,
all commenting on a universal issue.
We are currently mailing the postcards to institutions
of learning worldwide. We hope that our design will
inspire people from all over the globe to write, draw,
paint on, manipulate, or even create a new card, all
to be sent back to us. We will host an exhibition of
the responses in September 2002.
We are currently looking for artists who would like to
participate in the project. We are especially looking
for contacts at art institutions and thought you might
have some contacts either in Germany or other parts of
the world. If you can provide even one name and email
address, it will be very helpful.
In addition, if you or anyone else you know would like
to participate, please let us know, as it would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you for you time and interest in our project.
Sincerely,
Postmarked: A Mail Art Project

<br />
<br />
The Virtual People Smuggler [http://www.noborder.org/peoplesmuggler/] - as<br />
is the case with 'people smuggling' generally - arose out of the need and desire to cross borders. In the first instance, to cross the borders of various noborder events and protests themselves, to create a space which was an adequate expression of the movements for the freedom of movement.<br />
<br />
Confined neither by geopolitical limits nor the standard aesthetics of<br />
protests, the Virtual People Smuggler pays tribute to the chatrooms, spoof sites, weblogs, online gaming, independent media as virtual, vital and, therefore, actual moments in the crossing of borders. In other words, as the experience encountered by people as they log in to virtual communities which are unrestrained by national borders, and also, thereby, as one of the forms in which protests (especially noborder protests and events) can and do occur.<br />
<br />
Crossing the distinction between 'virtual' and 'actual' (which denies the experience of virtual communities and communication as real, as both effective and affective), as well as celebrating the desire for freedom of movement (which results not only in clandestine travel arranged by people-smugglers in order to cross geopolitical borders, but also gave rise to the most successful salespitch for internet software), the Virtual People Smuggler asks, "Where do you want to go today?"<br />
<br />
destination :: woomera<br />
<br />
the first installment of the virtual people smuggler will take you to<br />
woomera (australia), where - during the easter weekend of 2002 - a protest festival will address a number of issues that are highlighted in this remote town in the desert of southern australia: internment of sans papier, indigenous struggles for land rights, uranium mining, missile testing, toxic waste dumping, and military surveillance.<br />

**Press Release**
THE DANIEL LANGLOIS FOUNDATION AND �POXY COMMUNICATIONS
ANNOUNCE THE PRODUCTION OF **ANARCHIVE 2 - MICHAEL SNOW**
http://www.fondation-langlois.org/e/collection/snow/index.html
Montreal, March 28, 2002 - The Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science,
and Technology and �poxy Communications are proud to announce they are
teaming up for the DVD-ROM **anarchive 2 - Michael Snow**, which will be
launched this fall. This co-production has been made possible thanks to
financial support from Telefilm Canada and assistance from Canadian Heritage
(the Museums Assistance Program) and the Canada Council for the Arts.
In collaboration with the artist Michael Snow, the Foundation has chosen a
selection of about 80 works to be illustrated and documented with images,
audio and video clips, and 2-D and 3-D animation along with documents from
the artist's archives. �poxy is handling the design, production and artistic
direction of the DVD-ROM whose interface is being partly designed by Michael
Snow. The DVD-ROM will include a comprehensive database of all works by the
artist, lists of exhibitions as well as an exhaustive bibliography. For
further details on this project, consult the Foundation's site:
http://www.fondation-langlois.org/e/collection/snow/index.html
Michael Snow is among Canada's leading artists. In March 2000, his film work
earned him one of the country's highest distinctions, the Governor General's
Award for visual and media arts. A multidisciplinary talent, Snow works as a
painter, photographer, filmmaker and musician. His 1967 film Wavelength
revealed him as one of North America's foremost avant-garde filmmakers.
In the past decade, Snow has taken part in all the major exhibitions
focusing on images in the contemporary world. Among these exhibits: Passage
de l'image (mounted by the Centre Georges Pompidou), Projections, les
transports de l'image (first presented at the Centre Le Fresnoy) and the
Biennale d'art contemporain de Lyon (which in 1995 celebrated a century of
cinema). In addition, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Power Plant at
Harbour Front put on a joint retrospective called The Michael Snow Project.
Recently, a major retrospective on Snow, Panoramique : oeuvres
photographiques et films = Photographic Works and Films : 1962-1999, was
held in Europe. Last year, the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol, England,
presented Michael Snow: almost Cover to Cover, an exhibition that is now
touring England.
For the past two years, the Daniel Langlois Foundation has been involved in
developing and prototyping a bilingual DVD-ROM dedicated to Snow's work. The
disc will target the education market, particularly universities and art and
film schools. It is being produced in partnership with Anne-Marie Duguet of
the Universit� de Paris 1 (Sorbonne-Panth�on) and is part of anarchive, a
collection of CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs exploring contemporary artists and
created with their assistance. This series began with anarchive 1 -
Muntadas: Media Architecture Installations. Two other DVD-ROMs are now in
the works. The first, which Anne-Marie Duguet is also putting together,
looks at the work of Nam June Paik. The second, for which the Foundation and
�poxy have joined forces, investigates Snow's work.
ABOUT THE DANIEL LANGLOIS FOUNDATION FOR ART, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY
The Daniel Langlois Foundation's purpose is to further artistic and
scientific knowledge by fostering the meeting of art and science in the
field of technologies. The Foundation seeks to nurture a critical awareness
of technology's implications for human beings and their natural and cultural
