Subject: Barrage Bush on August 15th.
Hi Everyone.
This is to spread the word about a collective action to make our voices of
dissent heard by the senior leadership of the United States as their war
mongering continues. If you are so compelled, please read the following
notice, and let your conscience be your guide.
Remember, in our organized numbers lies our strength.
Thanks.
Phil Duncan
President Bush is considering starting a war by invading Iraq. Many of us do
not believe this is the right thing to do. (An unknown numbers of lives, two
hundred thousand American troops and sixty billion dollars.) In an effort to
make our point of view heard, I am suggesting that we encourage as many
citizens as possible to mail a post card to the White House asking that
another war not be started. If we all mail our cards, or letters, on the
same day it will have maximum impact. Perhaps it would be newsworthy to the
corporate media. The important thing is to have as many people as possible
engaged in the project. So I am asking you to forward this e-mail to as many
people as you can. This will take less that five minutes of your time. With
luck we can reach millions of people within the next two weeks. If we all
mail our cards on or about August 15 we may be in time to influence the
situation. If we all reach five people through eleven forwards it will
reach forty eight million people. The chain letter effect. I am asking you
to spend twenty three cents and ten minutes to help stop a war.
PLEASE forward this email to at least five people today. Time is running
out.
Mail post cards to:
George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington,DC 20500

Tuesday August 27
Live Art Practices with Blast Theory en Matthew Fuller / Graham Harwood
Door open 20.00 hour
Start 20.30 hour
The evening Live Art Practices will look at the emergence of mobile devices
and wireless networks as cultural spaces. The English multimedia performance
group Blast Theory and Matthew Fuller / Graham Harwood, who developed
TextFM, show that more and more the public gets involved in performances,
sometimes even unexpected. The differences and similarities between the two
approaches will become clear during their discussions. The public gets a
change to (anonymously) interact.
Entrance � 3,- ( students � 2,-)

Blast Theory is a group of four artists based in London who make live events
for theatres, clubs, galleries and the street. The group's work confronts a
media saturated world in which popular culture rules. It uses video and
computers to ask questions about the ideologies present in the information
that envelops us. The work is a fast cutting collage of images and actions,
often appropriated from elsewhere.
Founded on a belief in collective work and an openness about creativity
Blast Theory collaborates with a wide range of creative people: from DJs to
dancers, from CDROM designers to pop promo directors.
<http://www.blasttheory.co.uk>
Text FM is a program which uses the sms possibilities of cellphones to turn
text into speech. The spoken messages are transmitted at specific urban
locations. The project is an initiative of Graham Harwood and Matthew
Fuller, and has been developed further during the artist in residency of
Harwood at Waag
Society, Amsterdam. Harwood is member of the London based multimedia artist
group Mongrel. His
cd-rom project Rehearsal of Memory is part of the permanent collection of
Centre Pompidou. In 2000, Harwood was the first web artist to receive a
commission by Tate Britain for a digital artwork.

The Pleasure of Language
August 24 - September 28 2002
Opening: August 23, 17.00 - 19.00 hrs
Brandon LaBelle, P�ter Frucht, MEZ (Mary Anne Breeze), Netochka Nezvanova &
Jaine Evans, Imogen Stidworthy
At the Opening: KKEP with See You
The popularity of chatrooms on the internet and the speed of electronic mail
have led to an enormous growth in communication, and with it, changes in the
use of language and the creation of countless vernaculars. The Netherlands
Media Art Institute organises from August 24 untill September 28 The
Pleasure of Language. In this exhibition the artists are concerned with
language in various manners. The artists respond through image, text and
sound to and participate in the ways language-use as well as the
communication process are changing. By means of image, text and sound they
both respond to and participate in the ways language use and the
communication process are changing. A number of works reflect the body of
thought and ways of working of artists from the beginning of the last
century, placing these ideas in a contemporary perspective, employing new
technologies.
In his installations the audio artist Brandon LaBelle focuses on the
dynamics of spaces, objects, bodies and language. His interest is primarily
in the harmonic possibilities of language: how the various consonants and
vowels collectively form an architectural whole that enables us to form
words and sentences, and subsequently how they achieve and influence
communication. In his new installation Over/Hear his attention shifted to
that what is been said.
The Hungarian/German artist P�ter Frucht is fascinated by the
misunderstandings that arise in communication. Influenced by his long
presence in chatrooms, in his installation iow inanalbipootv mmif with mftw
ibn and cotlflgohaha isbt (2001) Frucht captures the endless talks and
conversations that take place all over the Internet. He brakes into
conversations and extracts parts, which he then graphically styles in
different formats before letting the different parts flow into a virtual 3D
world. The result is a wave of live chat that can be mixed and linked
together by the visitor, through which new dialogues become audible.
MEZ (Mary Anne Breeze) produces e-poetry on the internet which she herself
terms m[ez]ang.elle. M[ez]ang.elle is a game with language, supported by
sound, symbols and text, which arises from abbreviations that are current in
e-mail and SMS communication. The words are altered in a manner that
reflects the fundamental meaning of the word and lets new associations
arise. Her language is based on English and contains mathematical,
programming and other language codes, in order to develop a language
specific to internet.
In her para-documentary video Substitutes (2002) Imogen Stidworthy shows us
two young Romanian singers, filmed during a chance meeting. Playing the tape
back to several people their song provokes diverse translations, memories
and interpretations, which she layers over the original recording. The
acoustic linking of languages and musical sounds produces a hybrid
soundtrack understood more as texture than as text or song, while the
apparent wholeness of the song is revealed as a patchwork of non-sequiters,
grammatical slips and inconsistencies
For the exhibition Netochka Nezvanova has collaborated with Jaine Evans to
produce the interactive installation Hypoderm (2002). Hypoderm allows the
visitor to control and reveal bodies of text through establishing a physical
language of presence, absence and movement. Bodies of descriptive text are
built up through the placing of words and sentences in an associative
relationship with one another, in a way that is determined by each
individual viewers movements. In this way visitors create a fluid, ever
changing descriptive body of text.
At the opening: KKEP with See You
Under the name KKEP, Selene and Stef Kolman have been making their own
projects in public space. KKEP is known for their innovative way of working,
in which they make use of various channels, from television to Internet and
handhelds. KKEP�s work consists of a combination of art, advertising, news
and entertainment. For the exhibition KKEP uses the SMS protocol to
personalise mobile phones with an image of the user�s eyes. First send a
txt.file to the handheld, the code transfers automatically into an image of
the photographed eyes.
In addition to current works, a number of works from the early days of video
art from the Montevideo collection will be shown on monitor. Recordings of
performances by Laurie Anderson and Carolee Schneeman, and video works by
Vito Acconci and others will show how artists employed language in their
work in the past.
Opening hours gallery: Tuesday - Saturday 1-6 pm, free entrance

1. Weltkarten - Change the Map
.............................
Ars Electronica exhibits current world map projections in which geography legitimated by the nation-state system is overlaid by the reciprocities and points of rupture in our modern Information Society-cyber-graphies of a world of data and information systems whose meridians are lines of economic, ecological and political power.
Artists as cartographers: a confrontation with topological world models is meant to formulate and/or inspire a critique of the topographic Weltanschauung and patterns of behavior on which it has had an impact.
