Subject: Fwd: CALL FOR A GLOBAL VIDEO EXCHANGE
>[ Please forward far and wide to community video groups and producers! ]
>
>CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL VIDEO EXCHANGE
>and INSTRUCTIONS for Videographers FTPing footage
>
>This is a call for material for use in ongoing video coverage of
>activist events worldwide. We are using a system of ftp servers that
>will enable individuals and groups to provide broadcast quality
>video clips - all encoded in a common video codec for easy sharing
>between international projects (see tech details below). This is the
>first step in potentially creating an even larger web-based and
>database driven exchange.
>
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>POSSIBLE THEMES/MEDIA MOBILIZATIONS
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>The global video exchange will allow us to share content for regular
>activist TV programming, community video screenings, as well as
>produce even more far-reaching and immediate programming for
>international mobilizations.
>
>POSSIBLE DISTRIBUTION POINTS
>Independent Media Centers - GLOBAL (www.indymedia.org)
>Public Access TV Stations (Manhattan Neighborhood Network - NYC (www.mnn.org)
>FreeSpeech TV - USA (www.freespeech.org)
>Your own local projects . . .
>
>We encourage international producers to make 2-12 min. edited
>segments of local events and send these via ftp to create a shared
>footage pool. These edited segments can be compiled into thematic
>programming and distributed via community TV, Cable Access Channels
>and community screenings (for instance MNN has been programming one
>per week using segment compilations).
>
>If you produce an edited segment - please include interviews
>contextualizing the issues according to your own city/country as
>well as typical march/rally coverage. It is very important that
>people here and elsewhere hear directly from all the other peoples
>of the world. More critical analysis and factual information is
>also encouraged.
>
>If you want to participate - please let us know - send an email to
>the [email protected], subject line "Global Video Exchange".
>This list is where most global project communication will take
>place. (subscribe at: http://lists.indymedia.org/listinfo/imc-video).
>
>We hope you all can participate - Thanks!
>
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>Content Suggestions
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>These are suggestions of what may be most useful:
>
>Edited Segments: 2-12 minutes long.
>Please edit to provide:
>* A clear narrative structure: you can use voice-overs, slates,
>and/or supers to make the story flow in a way that makes crystal
>clear sense
>* You can incorporate music (when you have the right to use it)
>* Your segment will ideally encompass alternative viewpoints, make
>good use of b-roll (images closely correspond with dialogue), and
>have a solid beginning, middle and end.
>
>What not to post:
>Raw footage, long tapes of continuous shots from rallies and marches
>that have not been edited.
>
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>PROTOCOL FOR SENDING VIDEO VIA INTERNET FTP as of 4/6/03
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>INSTRUCTIONS for Videographers FTPing footage
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>There are basically three steps that are involved to send us footage,
>its' as simple as A B C!
>A - Download and install the OnVP3 codec
>B -Capture and edit your video
>C -Compress with the OnVP3 Codec
>D -FTP file to a shared server
>
>What is so special about this protocol is that the quality, once
>expanded into Media 100, Avid or FCP is almost exactly like the
>original!
>---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>PREPARATION - what you need to do first before you can send footage
>
>A) - Download your OnVP3 software codec
>
>- Mac and Windows codec installers are available on the FTP server
>used for uploading/downloading global clips. After you connect and
>go to the A volume and see the Codec Installer Folder. Download the
>appropriate file and install.
>
>- or go to '<on2.com>' get the free vp3 codec (not vp 4) for either
>platform, MAC or Windows and install it.
><http://www.vp3.com/getvp3/index.shtml>
>
>- If you are using a Mac, you can download any clip compressed with
>the OnVP3 and open it. Quicktime will prompt you to update it's
>software and then automatically download and install the codec.
>
>- For an FTP client application we recommend Fetch for Mac and
>WS_FTP for PCs, or use your favorite
><http://fetchsoftworks.com>
>
>---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>B) CAPTURE
>
>MAC - capture and edit in iMovie or Final Cut Pro (FCP) as you normally would.
>WINDOWS - capture in Premier or Premier Lite.
>
>*For MAC users, exporting in iMovie or Quicktime Player Pro is much
>faster (3 min to every 1
>min of video) than FCP (about 14 min to every 1 min), however any
>editing program that you're using will work if compatible with QT
>---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>C) COMPRESSION/EXPORT SETTING - Once you have finished editing, you
>can export the movie from the application using the OnVP3 codec to
>compress the file. You can also export a niormal file and then open
>and export it from Quicktime Player Pro. The sequence below may very
>depending on the QT interface you're entering it on. On the Mac you
>can do this from iMovie, Final Cut Pro or from QuickTime Player 6
>Pro.
>
>- choose codec on2vp3, select 'options':
>- use default OnVP3 settings, but uncheck 'allow dropped frames'
>- size 360 x 240 ntsc - or -
> size 360 x 288 pal
>- frame rate 29.97 ntsc -or-
> frame rate 25 pal
>- data rate ......
>- key frame (optional)
>- audio ulaw 2.1 32kb 16 mono
>- press export
>The final file size should be about 5-20 megs per minute (an easy ftp)
>
>Once you have the setting selected above, export the file to disk. A
>one minute long compressed file should be anywhere from 5-20 megs
>You can play the clip back in movie player or any other program.
>Don't be suprised if playback stutters - this iss common on slower
>computers and OK since the files will later be converted back to
>the DV codec.
>
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>D) FTP
>Connect to the server at:
>host: 67.92.102.213
>user: imc
>pass: video
>
>FILENAMING CONVENTIONS. Please title your clip with city name and your
>initials or collective name, for instance: NYC_PTTV1.mov, also name your
>intake text file the same: NYC_PTTV1.txt
>
>PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD .avi, .rm or other movie file formats. This is
>a project for sharing video with one common codec (OnVP3)
>
>IMPORTANT: With your file should also submit an intake form and
>waiver/release, These are located on all the volumes of the FTP
>server and can be downloaded and filled out. Rename the files with
>the same prefix as your movie file, then upload them with your movie
>file.
>
>Users can not delete files. So if you make an error and need to have
>a file deleted, email Michael at: [email protected]
>
>HELP!
>If you are having other technical troubles, email
>[email protected], subject line "Global Video Exchange-Help".
>(subscribe at: http://lists.indymedia.org/listinfo/imc-video). The
>imc-video list should be the primary discussion list. Also send
>notification here after you've posted a clip so people know to look
>for it.
>
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>HOW DO I USE THESE CLIPS
>First download the clips from the FTP server. Also download the
>intake form which may help to identify the clip before you commit to
>the larger movie download. The intake form also contains the rights
>for use which may vary from videographer to videographer.
>
>To use the clips, you basically reverse the OnVP3 compression. Open
>the file in Quicktime Player Pro and export it as a full screen
>movie (720 x 480) in the native DV-NTSC or DC-PAL codec. Set the
>audio to no compression (none). The file will then be compatible for
>editing with other native DV file format clips. In Final Cut Pro or
>Premiere, you can import the OnVP3 clip and render it or export as
>above.
>
>Be sure you credit videographers as they request on the intake form
>included with each clip.

ATC@UCB:
The Bad Infinity / The Longue Dur�e
Pamela Lee, Stanford Art History
The Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium
Mon, 28 Apr, 7:30-9:30pm: UC Berkeley,
Location: 160 Kroeber Hall
All ATC Lectures are free and open to the public.
Prof. Lee will discuss the almost compulsive desire to register time
in numerous examples of sixties art, taking as case studies the
1963-4 films of Andy Warhol, specifically Empire and the "Today"
series of the Japanese-born, New York-based artist On Kawara. Such
practices are considered in light of the rise of technological
forecasting and future studies in the 1960s, themselves linked to the
emergence of systems theory and cybernetics associated with the war
effort. Neither Warhol nor Kawara were intentionally engaged with
future studies, but Lee argues that their work -- which internalizes
boredom and waiting at both an organizational and thematic level --
can be read to critique its ideological imperatives. Indeed, future
studies explicitly informed a number of art critical accounts of that
moment, most notably the video artist Douglas Davis' Art and the
Future, a book concerned, in part, with predicting developments in
new media art.
In both Warhol's films and Kawara's conceptual gestures, however, such
notions of futurity and progress are undermined by an insistence on
repetition, duration and endless projection, as if ironizing the
claims made by technological forecasting. Instead Lee reads their
practices through two seemingly incompatible models of history:
Hegel's "Bad Infinity" on the one hand and Fernand Braudel's "Longue
Dure�" on the other. She argues that both artists endlessly belabor
the present as a particular comment on the status of "futurity" in the
1960s, opening onto critical practices of postmodernism.
- --
Pamela M. Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art and
Art History at Stanford University where she teaches the history,
theory and criticism of art since 1945, with a particular emphasis on
the 1960s and 1970s. She is the author of Object to be Destroyed: The
Work of Gordon Matta-Clark (The MIT Press: 2000). Her second book,
Chronophobia: On Time in the Art of the 1960s (to be published next
year by The MIT Press) explores the relationship between time and
technology in the art of that decade, considering the emergence of
cybernetics, systems theory and automation relative to the new
temporalities of a range of aesthetic practices and discourses. Her
interest in technology's radical compression of time and space in the
postwar era informs her current research, which reflects upon the
changed status of the art world and its objects under the pressures of
globalization.

Greg Neimeyer will introduce Pamela on Monday; Tiffany and I will be at
home, reflecting on the status of futurity with Odessa Simone Goldberg,
born 4-19-2003.

Subject: for Announce List
The American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York, presents the
past, present, and future of the digital image in live performance.
Important new media artists and "software jockeys" DJ Spooky, 242.pilots,
Golan Levin, Art Jones, and Greg Hermanovic combine live performance with
digital audio and video processing in "The Computed Moving Image in Live
Performance," three live events in May.
The computer's versatility as a real-time media processing system, as well
as the emergence of the "VJ," has made possible new creative forms
characterized by the performance of moving images with audio. The American
Museum of the Moving Image will explore this new art form in "The Computed
Moving Image in Live Performance," comprised of three special events in May.
The award-winning international video-art ensemble 242.pilots will perform a
live improvisational concert on Thursday, May 8; artists and software
engineers Greg Hermanovic, Art Jones, and Golan Levin will demonstrate and
discuss real-time audio and visuals as performance and the software that
makes it possible on Thursday, May 15; and DJ Spooky will present his
provocative work-in-progress, Rebirth of A Nation, a radical remix of D.W.
Griffith's landmark film Birth of A Nation on Thursday, May 29. The
performances and demonstrations function as an engaging primer on
audio-visual media performance, its history, and its future directions.
The events are part of <Alt>Thursdays, an ongoing series of artist talks and
performances, presented in conjunction with <Alt>DigitalMedia, the Museum's
highly acclaimed gallery space focused on creative, probing, and playful
explorations of the digital moving image and software-based art.
SCHEDULE
Thursday, May 8
7:30 p.m.
242.pilots Performance
The three artists who comprise 242.pilots, HC Gilje (Norway), Kurt Ralske
(U.S.), and Lukasz Kysakowski (Poland), use laptops and custom-made software
in live performances to dynamically generate video and sound. Their
performance will be structured as a series of solos followed by the group
working collaboratively with a guest musician, much like a jazz ensemble, to
create a layered image and soundscape. The resulting composition evolves
through creative exchange and non-verbal communication. Described by The New
York Times as "an intriguing, compelling alliance of sound and motion," the
group's current DVD project, 242.pilots Live in Bruxelles, won the 2003
Image Award at Berlin's Transmediale festival. This event is cosponsored by
Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center. Tickets ($12 public / $8 members)
can be purchased in advance by calling the Museum at 718-784-4520.
Thursday, May 15
7:30 p.m.
Panel Discussion: Moving Image Performed with Software
Through discussing their own work, artists and programmers Greg Hermanovic,
Art Jones, and Golan Levin will provide an overview of audio-visual
performance systems, its history, and future. Hermanovic, co-founder of
Derivative, Inc, will demonstrate Touch, a new real-time 3D graphics
performance tool based on his Academy Award-winning digital compositing
software, Houdini. Levin will present an illustrated history of real-time
moving image performance. His piece, Floccus, is featured in
<Alt>DigitalMedia and he recently orchestrated Dialtones: A Telesymphony, a
concert performance comprised solely of the carefully choreographed ringing
of the audience's cell phones. Art Jones will present a mini-lecture on "The
Fine Art of VJ-ing," with audio-visual accompaniment. His work often
concerns the inter-relationships between popular music, visual culture,
history, and power. Tickets ($10 public / Free for members) can be purchased
in advance by calling the Museum at 718-784-4520.
Thursday, May 29
7:30 p.m.
DJ Spooky Performance, Rebirth of A Nation, followed by a discussion
A special work-in-progress performance, Rebirth of a Nation, by conceptual
artist, musician, and writer Paul Miller, otherwise known as DJ Spooky, That
Subliminal Kid "remixes" D.W. Griffith's Birth of A Nation, the
controversial historical epic that established the rules of narrative
filmmaking while portraying the Ku Klux Klan as the saviors of the Civil
War. In Miller's hands, the film is transformed into a meditation on how
"myths migrate through the culture's operating system." Miller says,
"Remixing this influential film the way a DJ would change a pop tune, I am
trying to uncover the blueprints of the future we now inhabit." Miller's
work employs a wide variety of digitally created music and multi-media to
create a form of post-modern sculpture in the tradition of composers such as
John Cage and Afrika Bambaata. He has collaborated with a wide variety of
pre-eminent musicians and composers such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Killa Priest
of Wu-Tang Clan, Yoko Ono, and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth amongst
others. This one-hour performance will be followed by a discussion with the
artist. Tickets ($15 public / $10 members) can be purchased in advance by
calling the Museum at 718-784-4520.

From: ASF_Pressekoordination <[email protected]>
- -------------------------------------------
Presseinformation: Eine andere Welt ist m�glich
- -------------------------------------------
Von Porto Alegre und Florenz nach Hallein: Von 29. Mai bis 1. Juni
findet in der Salzburger Salinenstadt das erste �sterreichische
Sozialforum statt - Tausende TeilnehmerInnen erwartet
(Wien, 25.4.2003) Nach den drei Weltsozialforen in Porto Alegre
(Brasilien) und dem European Social Forum in Florenz findet heuer
erstmals auch ein �sterreichisches Sozialforum statt. Von 29. Mai bis
1. Juni werden in den historischen Salinengeb�uden der Salzachstadt
Hallein mehrere tausend TeilnehmerInnen erwartet.
Organisiert wird das "Austrian Social Forum" (ASF) von Personen und
Gruppen aus den unterschiedlichsten sozialen und
zivilgesellschaftlichen Bewegungen �sterreichs. Gewerkschaften sind
daran ebenso beteiligt wie globalisierungskritische Netzwerke,
Umwelt- und Menschenrechtsorganisationen sowie kirchliche und
politische Gruppen. Das ASF ist ein offener Treffpunkt f�r alle, die
sich aktiv und demokratisch f�r Frieden, soziale und politische
Rechte f�r alle Menschen sowie f�r eine gerechte und �kologische
Globalisierung einsetzen.
- --------------------------
Keine Anti-GlobalisiererInnen
- --------------------------
Ausdr�cklich abgelehnt werden die von Medien oft verwendeten
Bezeichnungen "Antiglobalisierer" oder "Globalisierungsgegner". "Die
sind eher in den Konzernlobbys und unter ihren neoliberalen
Handlangern in den Regierungen zu finden, weil dort verbindliche
globale Sozial-, Umwelt- und Menschenrechtsstandards verhindert
werden. Uns geht es um die gerechte Gestaltung von Globalisierung.
Wir verstehen uns als Teil einer weltweiten Bewegung, die an der
Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Alternativen zur herrschenden
Weltordnung arbeitet."
Das ASF ist ein zeitlich und �rtlich begrenztes Ereignis, das weder
SprecherInnen nach au�en noch eine einheitliche ideologische
Ausrichtung braucht. Gemeinsames Ziel ist es, durch die Vernetzung
unterschiedlicher Bewegungen einen Prozess in Gang zu setzen, der -
wie in Porto Alegre erstmals proklamiert - eine "andere Welt m�glich"
macht.
Daf�r sind bis zum heutigen Tag 8 Konferenzen sowie mehr als 70
Seminare und Workshops rund um die Themenbereiche Arbeit und
Soziales, Neoliberalismus und Wirtschaft, Herrschaft, Ausgrenzung und
Partizipation sowie Krieg und neue Weltordnung geplant. Dazu kommen
Infotheken sowie ein Kulturprogramm mit Konzerten, Kabarett und einem
Festival des politischen Films. Au�erdem ist f�r den Nachmittag des
30. Mai eine Demonstration gegen den Krieg auf der Tauernautobahn
angemeldet.
Bei allen Veranstaltungen des ASF gelten die Prinzipien des Gender
Mainstreamings und des Antirassismus, also die gleichwertige Teilhabe
von Frauen und MigrantInnen.

"Related to the structure of an organism"
23+1
23 hours media purification from the propoganda war + 1 hour of silence for
the shame about it.
Media and their overuse for propaganda porpoises lead us to disconnection
with meanings and feelings. Overload is like darkness and distance is like
bulletproof insulated proximity.
>From Amsterdam, starting at 11.00 Amsterdam time, we will participate in
a 23 hour cleansing process for the transformation of media. Each of us
will represent his/her own "stand", using their own media, performance,
software systems. Media will be gathered from all available sources.
Multiple channels of input will be open during the event to collaboration,
discussion, exchange of material and open transformation of it. Our
transformation will be guided by collective attempt to understand what is
happening now, and how to transform that into a personal and new message.
During this 23 hours, we will extend our transformation process to other
artists connecting from New York and Paris.
When darkness falls, our works will be seeded around the city, distributed
as propaganda in public space. After the cycle is completed, we will end
with one hour of silence.
We will broadcast our output for 23 hours. Broadcast channels and a
schedule will be made available through the Anatomic site.
<http://anatomic.waag.org>http://anatomic.waag.org

Anatomic, the open studio for connected performances is setting up weekly
meetings and joining forces to support similar initiatives most likely in
the most unlikely places around the world with the dedication to create new
environments in which collaborative and experimental art can blossom.

DIGIT WORLD CONTEST for Internet sites, in the sector of conservation, promotion and defence of cultural and/or artistic heritage.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On behalf of the all organisation team : Greetings !
You have recently received an information letter from the Digit World Contest organisation and unless we have been committing a mistake we have not receive any answer. If you should not participate in this first edition of that great contest for heritage and art in multimedia, you may want to forward the information to web sites owner or multimedia edition companies or organisation.
The Digit World contest has been conceived to provide answers to the expectations of public institutions as well as professionals of the numerical industry. Through new promotional e-platforms and awards, they are seeking new ways, new forms of visibility, in order to show their expertise and underline the quality of their work. Obtaining an award remains the more efficient of all tools of valorisation and success. It allows in particular the awarded contestant to raise its credibility among its own network by propping up its reputation and even gaining prestige. For a national or regional institution it is a real communication instrument that displays the specificities of the institution in the best possible way. An international award is a factor of multiplication of notoriety on a national or regional point of view.
The weavers of the Internet Fiesta, which is a world wide, non profitable, honourable event which occurs every year since 1998, will grant award and citations which will be a very good subject for the granted contestants to be published in the local or regional media. This in itself will constitute a remarkable growth of the impact of the communication of the awarded contestant. The consequences will be, of course, depending on the contestant position in the various prize list but also of the quality of his own promotion previous to his participation in the contest.
Today almost 200 validated contestants from over 42 countries have subscribed and we are starting to encourage every one of them to activate their local network; the competition will be intense!
If you are not concern at all, professionally, by art or heritage, please let us know. Anyway you might enjoy a visit on our web site and be interested to check out who the contestants are.
Cordially,
Johann Man�thon Piching

DIGIT WORLD CONTEST - CONCOURS MONDIAL des sites Internet dont la vocation est la promotion, la d�fense, la protection ou la conservation du patrimoine culturel et/ou artistique.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nous vous saluons au nom de toute l'�quipe du Digit World Contest
Vous avez r�cemment re�ut une lettre d'information �manant du Digit World Contest et, sauf erreur nous n'avons re�ut aucune r�ponse. Si vous deviez avoir choisit de ne pas participer � ce concours, nous vous serions reconnaissants de bien vouloir nous le signaler et de bien vouloir en outre faire circuler l'information aupr�s des sites et des �diteurs multim�dias de votre connaissance.
Ce concours r�pond aux attentes des institutions sp�cialis�es ou non tout comme � celles des professionnels de l'industrie num�rique. Au travers de nouvelles plates-formes promotionnelles et de r�compenses remises lors de manifestations r�currentes, ils sont � la recherche de nouvelles voies de visibilit� pour faire valoir leur expertise et souligner la qualit� de leur travail.
L'obtention d'une r�compense, est le plus efficace des outils de valorisation du succ�s. Cela permet notamment au laur�at d'augmenter sa cr�dibilit� aupr�s de son r�seau, en �tayant sa r�putation, voir en acqu�rant un certain prestige. Pour une institution nationale ou r�gionale il s'agit d'un v�ritable instrument de communication mettant en relief ses sp�cificit�s de la meilleure fa�on possible.
Une r�compense internationale est un facteur certain de d�multiplication de la notori�t� au plan national ou r�gional. Les Tisserands de l'Internet Fiesta, manifestation d'audience mondiale, non commerciale, respectable et r�currente, accorderont r�compenses ou mentions, qui seront autant d'alibi faisant l'objet de publications de communiqu�s de presse dans les m�dias augmentant remarquablement l'impact de la communication du laur�at.
Les retomb�es d�pendront bien sur du positionnement du candidat dans les diff�rents palmar�s mais aussi de la qualit� de la promotion mise en place pr�alablement � la candidature et/ou � l'obtention du prix.
A aujourd'hui pr�s de 200 concurrents s�lectionn�s provenant de plus de 42 pays se sont d�ment inscrit et nous les encourageons tous vivement � activer leurs r�seaux locaux, la comp�tition sera rude !
Si vous deviez ne pas �tre concern� par ce concours ou que vous ne soyez pas vous-m�me connect� d'une quelconque fa�on avec les secteurs de l'art ou du patrimoine nous vous serions reconnaissants de nous le faire savoir. Dans tous les cas, nous vous invitons � vous rendre sur le site official du Digit World Contest o� vous pourriez faire peut-�tre d'int�ressantes d�couvertes ou venir voir qui sont les candidats inscrits.
Cordialement

Television (an address)
http://open4all.info/add-news/
Monday 28th April at 9:00 pm EST (New York)
Keith Sanborn addresses the news.
A guest is invited to sit in front of a television holding a
live microphone in one hand and a remote control to shift
through the News Channels in the other. What appears on the
TV monitor is streamed alongside the voice of the guest who
is addressing the news that he/she is watching live. An
archive will be created online (web address to be
determined) and a compilation will be eventually edited from
the most significant moments of each session.
About this week's guest
Keith Sanborn is a media artist and theorist based in New
York. His work has been included in the Whitney Biennial
twice, numerous one person shows and festivals such as OVNI
(Barcelona), The Rotterdam International Film Festival, Hong
Kong Videotage, and Ostranenie (Dessau). His theoretical
work has appeared in exhibition catalogues published by
MOMA, (New York), Exit Art (New York), and the San Francisco
Cinematheque among others. He has translated the work of Guy
Debord, Ren Vi net, Gil Wolman, and Georges Bataille. Some
of his articles and interviews can be found at

Subject: FWD: earth day + transgenic fish
below forwarded from NWRAGE:
April 22 Call in Day and Action Items for Earth Day
Take Action! Congress to Fast Track GE Fish Approval
Through an obscure bill entitled the Minor Use, Minor
Species Act (Senate Bill # 741), members of Congress
are
attempting to make it easier for the Food and Drug
Administration
to approve the sale of genetically engineered fish!
SB 741 will ease
the regulations the FDA uses to approve GE fish and
other organisms
by shortening the review process. Just as we stopped
agribusiness from
weakening organic food standards, it is important to
Take Action
to stop GE fish from being commercialized.
Send a letter to your Senators and Representative
today opposing the fast-track approval of GE fish.
You can find your Representative here -
http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.html
Members of the Senate Health Committee are listed at
http://www.senate.gov/%7Elabor/committee_members.html
Go to:
http://www.greenpeaceusa.org/bin/actionframe.pl?action_id=182
For more information about GE fish, please see
http://www.greenpeaceusa.org/ge/fish.htm
For information about GE fish varieties being
developed, please see
http://www.greenpeaceusa.org/ge/fish_varieties.htm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bill, the ''Minor Use and Minor Species Animal
Health Act of 2003'' or "MUMS" (S. 741, is intended
to make
it easier for drug companies to market drugs for minor
species (animals
other than cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys,
dogs, and cats) and
minor uses of drugs ("the intended use of a drug in a
major species for an
indication that occurs infrequently or in limited
geographical areas.")
The bill creates 1) an expedited conditional approval
system for drugs for
minor species or major uses and 2) an "index" of drugs
that can be used
without FDA approval in minor species (with certain
restrictions to do with
food safety).
As you may be aware, FDA is regulating transgenic fish
and potentially
other transgenic animals as animal drugs. Thus the
MUMS bill establishes
processes that could be used for expedited review or
no review at all of
transgenic fish and other animals!!

Subject: outline of an experiment
eleusa (projects 1a-d)
production initiative:
Eleusa intends to experiment with works and working groups. Work and
working group are thought of as being coupled in a process of mutual
production while prioritizing neither over the other. The working group
may be divided by language, nationality, taste, but is linked (not
necessarily �united�) by shared labor or cooperation in a particular
project. Groups are always contingent: on the project at hand, as the
project is upon the specific group. Eleusa, since it has no membership, is
not an organization or collective. It is rather a principle of
organization, a mechanism for the production of micro- (working group) and
macro- (distribution of final project) associations. Eleusa is not,
however, any of these associations; it is the escaping line which runs
between or tangential to them- and refers each to the other in a critical
process.
(one)a
category: participatory documentation
title: new york city social forum
open letter
A 15-minute snapshot video about he NYC Social Forum process. I call it a
process because, after one year and three events, the �NYC Social Forum�
doesn�t actually exist. Or, rather, it is always present and in formation
whenever new Yorkers come together across social divides and engage with
each other respectfully and on equal footing to seek solutions to the
myriad of oppressions they face. So that wordy little bit is my best
attempt at capturing the orientation of the forum. Jonathan and I went to
working group meetings, and conducted interviews with folks who are
committed to the process. We brought a camera with us and threw together
this little documentary not as observers but as inspired participants.
--RJ
(one)b
category: documented participation
title: A Kind of Silence
A Kind of Silence (formerlly entitled Caminho para as Indias) is an
experimental documentary currently in post-production. The shoot, now
completed, in Porto Alegre, Brazil from January 23-28, 2003, the period of
the third World Social Forum.
The A Kind of Silence working group was assembled by way of e-mail between
persons from The United States, Brazil and India. They all met for the
first time in Porto Alegre on the 22 of January to begin the shoot.
Production, however, began in November, with a call for participation and
the first draft of the proposed project.
Three cameras were used in the production. Their use was dominated by our
protagonists Tseret� Tsah�b� and Taran Khan, but the other members of the
working group aided in image capture when necissary. Tseret� Tsah�b� and
Taran Khan were asked to describe their intrests and curiosities in the
events occuring in Porto Alegre, there preferences among the workshops and
panels, individuals or groups present. The other members of the working
group devoted themselves to the development of these intrests and
curiosities, acting in production or faciliatory rolls. This effort
achieved an arch of the combined experience of the working group rather
than a journalistic account of the World Social Forum itself.
The working group in Porto Alegre consited of:
Tseret� Tsah�b�- Camera, Interviews
Taran Khan- Camera, Interviews
R.J. Maccani- Camera, Interviews, Production
Nadia Soupy- Camera, Interviews, Production
Mirian Blanco- Camera, Interviews, Production
Kevin Brown- Camera, Interviews, Production
Eduardo Moraes- Still Photography
about the protagonists:
Tseret� Tsah�b� is a Xavante video-maker living in Idz��uhu village, Terra
Indegena, Mato Grosso, Brazil. His work includes videography for various
projects with the Associa��o Xavante War�, a NGO devoted to causes that
directly affect the lives of the Xavante people. His work includes in
depth contribution to the Salve o Cerrado (Save the Savanna) campaign, an
interdisciplinary research project involving anthropologists, biologists,
geographers, photographers and videographers, among others, devoted to the
positive development and protection of the Xavante homeland.
Taran Khan is an Indian woman, trained as a journalist and filmmaker in
Delhi and currently in London for a second Masters degree in Development
Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). As a
student, journalist and activist, she has been part of a number of
movements in India. She has written on issues concerning the environment
and development for a number of publications and has also worked with NGOs
on various campaigns regarding issues such as toxic waste trade and GM
food. She has been part of the Save the Narmada movement--visiting the
valley and helping the Movement in its Delhi based activities. She is also
deeply involved with the struggle against communalism in India and worked
with Oxfam in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) after the genocide there earlier this
year.
(one)c
category: non-pological immersion
title: broken arrow
Eleusa (one)c follows some of the threads began in (one)b while rethinking
a number of the assumptions made by the working group as documentarians
and social scientists in an attempt to build upon and critique our ongoing
work. This work consists in a selection of the working group of (one)b
(R.J. Maccani, Mirian Blanco, Nadja Soupy, Kevin Brown) attending a
celebration in Terra Indigena Sangradouro, Mato Grosso, the home of
Tseret� Tshah�b�, from the 21st to the 25th of February 2003, in order to
explore some of the following themes:
another open letter
Video can function positively as a mechanism for the (re)distribution of
experience. It conveys images away from the vortex of the subject where
they pool and stagnate. But this utility is also a danger. Since the
subject operates with a camera between him/her and the facts of his/her
experiences, the camera can take on an almost biological (a biosocial,
perhaps) necessity in his/her relationships. The photographer, it could be
said, no longer has eyes, much less hands and feet, but an eye... he/she
has a lens. Even when the camera is not present, especially when the
camera is not present. The world is closed in a frame and hung for
exhibition. It is no longer the world in fact but a world of artifacts,
little remembrances or fetishes, and the space for exhibition of these
fetishes, an album and a vender�s booth, a museum and a market. The camera
has two poles (like objective science), with a photographer-subject on one
end and a photographed object on the other, with the photograph itself
issuing from some place in the middle and destined to be exhibited as
emissary or representative of them both.
Science is a photographic (or cinematic) discipline in that it assembles
relationships along the same observational line as the camera. Science is,
in fact, the very photographer�s eye. The social scientist runs a specific
risk in regards to the photographer�s frame or fetish: of referring
artifacts to given structures, of building structures that (re)situate a
given set of artifacts. In that the social scientists is dealing with
people, or �a people,� this process is especially problematic, especially
when it is a people who have been historically subjected to a foreign
research (and/or exploitation) project, that is, anthropology (a process
of subjectification imposing a polar subject/object dynamic upon what
would otherwise be human relationships, necessarily dehumanizing both
anthropologist and anthropologized), and who�s experience, and the
experience of whom, has been mediated or structured in large part by way
of this subjectification process, that is, colonization.
In response to these anthropological and video-logical problems, Eleusa
proposes a non-pological immersion, the goal of which is to build human
relations through culture exchange, explore non-captured video and
photography, to situate our selves (to frame our shots) not according to
the marketability or exhibitionability of our experience but according to
curiosity and possibility, and finally to relearn to love to forget. We
are not so bold as to demand an end to the photograph or even an end to
our affinity for it. We will take photographs again. We only say that we
will claim our moments... that we have an affinity for many things. We lay
down our cameras and our long years of training in schools and in
factories to observe and be observed for these five days in the savanna.
We do so in the name of resistance and critique. We do so in the name of
the r�. We do not imagine ourselves to be innovative. We are taking the
same steps the rest of the world is taking, we hope...: from a colonial
and colonizing anthropology to, or rather in, a post-colonial and
non-pological morphism.
