BODY_pARTs
The personal corporation called: LIFE
A new site investigating the power of
the omnipotence and omnipresence of
the CyberNet for an individual person
and how to make a suitable interface
to make real contact with other people.
On this site you find Me. You can watch
all parts of my Body. The product on
this site is ME. The 'software' you can
buy is MY work. The hardware you can in-
vest in is MY life. It is time to care
for a rich and responsible electronic
environment that is made for people!
We, you at home, must emphasize human
responsibility for cocreating the multi-
verse.
The Body is one of the things in which
our true feelings are located,but it is
not the only one. Least of all is the
self limited to the body. A person
literally projects or trows himself out
of the body, and anywhere at all.

NEW LISTSERVE ANNOUNCEMENT: FOCUS ON THE CORPORATION
Corp-Focus is a moderated listserve which distributes the weekly column
"Focus on the Corporation," co-authored by Russell Mokhiber, editor of
Corporate Crime Reporter, and Robert Weissman, editor of Multinational
Monitor magazine.
To subscribe to Corp-Focus, send an e-mail message to
[email protected] with the following all in one line:

Focus on the Corporation scrutinizes the multinational corporation -- the
most powerful institution of our time. Once a week, it reports and
comments critically on corporate actions, plans, abuses and trends.
Written with a sharp edge and occasional irreverency, Focus on the
Corporation covers:
* The double standards which excuse corporations for behavior (e.g.,
causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful
when done by individuals;
* Globalization and corporate power;
* Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and
workplace organization;
* Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new
technologies or consolidate business among a few companies;
* Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of
communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water;
* Issues, such as tort reform, of across-the-board interest to business;
and
* The corporatization of our culture.

electronic salon
<////>
When I first saw the cinematograph I realised it could offer something new
to philosophy. The cinema provides us with an understanding of our own
memory. Indeed we could almost say that cinema is a model of consciousness
itself. Going to the cinema turns out to be a philosophical experience.
Henri Bergson
Film-Philosophy is an email discussion forum and website founded in
November 1996.
SALON DISCUSSION
The purpose of the salon is the informal discussion of film philosophies.
The aim of which is the creation of a discipline from a collision, from a
debilitating identity crisis.
Why do we need film philosophies? What can a philosophical viewpoint breath
into well-worn debates in film theory? What bred the recent surge of
interest in this area? What is film philosophy?
SALON REVIEWS
Salon members are also offered the chance to review recent publications.
Recently we have published reviews of Stanley Cavell's Contesting Tears,
Joseph Anderson's The Reality of Illusion, Allan Casebier's Film and
Phenomenology, Noel Carroll's The Philosophy of Horror, Carl Plantinga's

Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival 1998
Exploring New Territory
Lovebytes, Sheffield's radical and acclaimed digital arts festival returns
on 16 March with HyperTribes, a six week exhibition of specially
commissioned public artworks in Sheffield City Centre, culminating in three
days of exhibitions and special events 23-25 April, in the city's Cultural
Industries Quarter.
HyperTribes is the theme for this year's festival which focuses on the
cultural aspects of new technology and the emerging electronic
'territories' which are being claimed, inhabited, enriched and exploited by
artists. Lovebytes has commissioned six public art installations as part of
Public Sightings in Photo 98 - The UK Year of Photography and the
Electronic Image. The artists Lulu Quinn, Simon Poulter, Mike Lawson-Smith,
Andrew Stones, Jonathan Allen & Steve Hawley and Premium Leisure utilise
digital media, video projection and interactive elements to create a
city-wide exhibition to transform the urban twilight with images, light and
sound.
The Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival, which runs from 23rd to the 25th
April, includes a multimedia gallery, seminars, film screenings, workshops,
performance and live music events and takes place at the Showroom Media and
Exhibition Centre. Sheffield has long been recognised for it's
experimentation in cross-media electronic arts and is now home to some of
the most advanced and well conceived multi-media production and exhibition
facilities in the country. This, combined with Lovebytes refreshing
approach to the digital 'melting pot' provides a unique point of
convergence for art, popular culture and the entertainments industries.
