cached 7: THE DOCUMENT
Friday 27 November 1998 at 19.30 in the Brandon Room at the INSTITUTE OF
CONTEMPORARY ART, THE MALL, LONDON
"Bodies of Evidence..."
As the last in the current series at the ICA, Cached 7: THE DOCUMENT will
explore the exponential growth of electronic data storage capacity and the
implications for artists of the ease with which traditional archive media
can be transferred, altered and packaged. Cached 7 will ask: To what
extent does the archive source imbue the digital space with the tangible
lustre of 'reality'? What are the sensitivities and issues involved when
artists manipulate or appropriate factual data? How much does the
mutability of the digital medium affect the way artists create new
realities or new fictions?
Cached 7: THE DOCUMENT will include:
* Roshini Kempadoo revealing her contribution to a collaborative project
with artist Alicia Felberbaum, entitled The Future Looms and launched on 30
September. This web site uses documentary and archive video, still, sound
and text material gathered from a old cotton mill town in Yorkshire to
explore weaving as wider metaphor for our relationship with technology
(http://www.channel.org.uk/futurelooms)
* Nick Crowe presenting the research and work which forms the Citizens - an
artist's book due to be published by Bookworks in Spring 1999 and launched
at the ICA, in which personal home pages on the web are redrawn as sketches
and created into limited edition downloadable movie files - and recently
completed THE 10 POINT PLAN FOR A BETTER HELSINKI, a project in Finland
inviting ten residents to redesign their city
(http://www.kiasma.fng.fi/the10pointplan/entry.html)
The presentations will be followed by an open discussion and questions from
the floor.
CACHED is a series of artists' presentations and talks looking at current
work for the Internet. It asks how artists are dealing with conceptual and
practical issues of Internet work as they meet them.
CACHED is organised by CHANNEL/Artec, DA2 and the Slade Centre For
Electronic Media, Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, in
collaboration with the ICA's Education Department.

Subject: MP&G_11h.dbh! _ 50%
______________________________________________________________________
MP&G_11h.dbh! _ an update.
______________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Almost three months ago dBONANZAh! <http://fly.to/dbonanzah> started
collecting a wide variety of mp3 audio files by experimental sound artists
who volunteer to upload their music to our server and make it publicly
available.
Our aim: 650 megabytes = one cdrom = 11 hours of high quality mp3 audio!
When accomplished, the files will remain available for download online, an
11h net radio broadcast marathon (celebration!) will be held, and a
low-budget CD will be released by (K-RAA-K)3 <http://come.to/kraak>.
At this moment we have (beyond all expectations) collected 50% of this cd -
high time to do an extra call for participation, and also to release an
invitation for anyone who's interested to come, download and listen to the
files that are available - cause also the high quality of submitted audio
is more than surprising: it's worth the while!
Anyone who's interested in keeping in touch with the evolution of the
project and related discussions are invited to subscribe to the (low
traffic) [mp3_11h_650mb] mailing list at
http://www.egroups.com/list/mp3_11h_650mb .

INTERFACE DESIGN (call for participation to net artists/designers)
Most of the audio participants have made a html index page for their own
submissions (see below); we're still looking for an inventive, lowtech web
interface for the whole project though - at this moment visitors have to
navigate through ftp file structures. So here's a call for ideas and
proposals targeted to artists and designers; send your suggestions (as a
url, or html pages) to [email protected]
The best interface will be elected by the audio participants; the winning
artist or designer will be fully credited within this project and the
promotion surrounding it, and will receive 10 copies of the released CD.
(Unfortunately we cannot provide a money prize since this is a no-budget
undertaking, but do it cause it's challenging and fun; so do we!)

Connectivity and Beyond
A Panel Discussion
So you've heard all the hype about on-line art these days.
But what really is art on-line? What constitutes a work of art in the
age of information saturation and a global village? And what is the
aesthetic sensibility on
the monitor?
Join us for an exciting debate about all these perplexing questions.
Panelists:
Tamas Banovich (Curator of multimedia and digital art, Postmasters),
Mattew Drutt (Media arts
Curator, Guggenheim Museum), Till Krueger (Faculty, Digital Design
Parsons), Leslie Sharpe (Faculty, Computer Graphics and Interactive
Media, Pratt), Sara Tucker (Director of Digital Media, Dia Center For
the Arts), Marc Weiss (Executive Producer, Web Lab).
Moderated By Zhang Ga (Artist, Faculty, Digital Design Parsons, CGIM
Pratt)
Where: Swayduck Auditorium 65 5th Ave. between 13th and 14th street, New
York City
When: December 7, 1998, at 3 p.m.
Admission: Free
This discussion, in conjunction with a new course, "The Internet as Art
Medium,"
which is jointly taught, in both MFA Dsign and Technology @Parsons and
MFA
Computer Graphics and Interactive Media of Pratt, aims at stimulating a
dynamic dialogue between the academic and artistic talents to explore
this emerging new medium in art making today, offering the students as
well as the interested public an opportunity for open debate about the
nature and implications of this medium.
This Panel Discussion is made possible with the generous support from
the Department of Digital Design, Parsons, and Sven Travis, the Chair of
the Dept.,
through close collaboration with the Department of Computer Graphics
and Interactive Media of Pratt, and Rick Barry, the Chair of the Dept.

Subject: Stand and Squillacote sentencing January 8, 1999
For more information on this case check out www.wbaifree.org/letemtalk
STAND, SQUILLACOTE SENTENCING SET FOR JANUARY 8, 1999
Kurt Stand and Terry Squillacote were convicted of all the espionage
charges against them and will be sentenced on Friday, January 8, 1999.
Under federal guidelines they face 15 years to life in federal prison,
in the absence of mitigating circumstances. It would be helpful for
people who are concerned about this case to write letters to the judge
prior to the sentencing. To be sure your letter is reviewed by the
judge, send it by December 15.
The point of the letter is to convince the judge to grant a more lenient
sentence than federalguidelines suggest. Write a letter whose focus is
that federal sentencing guidelines are extremely harsh given the facts
of this case.
This is not an appropriate forum to discuss problems with the FISA, the
government's actions in this case, or the conduct of the trial itself.
These issues will be addressed in the appeals.
It's important to attend the sentencing both to show your support for
Stand and Squillacote and to demonstrate to the judge that there are
many people in the community who care about them and do not want them t
be incarcerated. Call 202-892-6167 to find out if there are any changes
in the date of the sentencing. The courthouse is located at 401
Courthouse Square in Alexandria, Virginia. Directions are available in a
recorded message from the courthouse at 703-299-2100. The sentencing
will be in the courtroom of Judge Claude Hilton, Room 800. The defense
will be seated on the left.
Address your letter to: The Honorable Claude Hilton; US District Court;
Alexandria, VA
22314. Send your letter to the Fund for the Fourth Amendment; P.O. Box
5685; Washington
DC 20016. The letters will be delivered to the judge in a packet.
SAMPLE LETTER:
Dear Judge Hilton:
I am writing about the upcoming sentencing of Kurt Stand and Terry
Squillacote. I have been following the case and am familiar with it. I
understand that under federal sentencing guidelines, the recommended
range for the sentence for each of them is from 15 years to life. I
think that it would be wrong for such a long sentence to be imposed
given the facts of this case. I refer particularly to the fact that the
evidence did not demonstrate that any classified material was ever given
to a foreign government through the efforts of Mr. Stand or Ms.
Squillacote. In addition, I understand that Ms. Squillacote suffers from
a psychiatric condition that affects her judgment
and actions. Given these factors, I feel that justice would be served by
imposing a substantially shorter sentence in this case.
Sincerely,
SAMPLE LETTER FOR FRIENDS:
Dear Judge Hilton:
I am a friend of Kurt Stand and Terry Squillacote. I am writing to
express my hope that you will grant them lenient sentences. I have been
personal friends with both of them for fourteen years. Yhroughout the
time I have known them, I have always been impressed by their
willingness to help out friends and in their efforts to improve the
world around them, such as their work to bring a co-op to our Brookland
neighborhhod.
I have been particularly struck by their devotion to thier children. I
watched them struggle for years with the handicap of their son. They
worked extensively with the Districtt of Columbia to obtain an
appropriate education for him. Their absence from the community this
past year has been felt keenly by all their friends and neighbors, but
most deeply by their children. We hope to have them back with us soon.
Sincerely
Thanks for your consideration of this appeal.

Subject: ann! ... open source conference
O'Reilly Announces Open Source Conference
Co-Located Conferences Cover Linux, Perl, FreeBSD, and More
SEBASTOPOL, CA--O'Reilly & Associates announced
today that it is expanding its support of Open Source�
software by presenting the O'Reilly Open Source
Conferences--Perl Conference 3.0 plus several new
technical Conferences on mission-critical Open Source
software--on August 21-24, 1999 at the Monterey
Convention Center in Monterey, CA.
For the first time, programmers, webmasters, and system
administrators can find--under one roof--a spectrum of
high-end technical sessions, presented by the key
developers in each technology. In real-world
applications, users draw on several Open Source
technologies to get the job done. At the O'Reilly
Conferences on Perl, Linux, FreeBSD, Apache, Sendmail
and other Open Source technologies, attendees can
move freely between Conferences, choosing from a rich
panoply of sessions on these interrelated technologies.
In addition, each Conference is preceded by in-depth
tutorials.
Open Source software has achieved dramatic gains in
credibility and market share in the seven months since
Tim O'Reilly, President and CEO of O'Reilly &
Associates, hosted the historic Open Source Summit that
first brought together the creators of Linux, Perl, Apache,
Sendmail, Tcl, Python, and Netscape's mozilla. It was at
that meeting that these leaders agreed to adopt Eric
Raymond's term "Open Source" for the powerful
development methodology their products share, and to
work together to promote the value and importance of the
software developed by the Open Source community. In
August 1998, O'Reilly's Perl Conference 2.0 and Open
Source Developer Day drew enthusiastic crowds of Open
Source supporters.
"Conferences are a natural extension of our efforts to
alleviate 'information pain' with our books and software,
and they create a magic that happens only when people
gather face-to-face," noted O'Reilly. "There's been a
heady air of discovery and sharing at our Perl
Conferences. They've been true community events.
We're excited about bringing that spirit to the wider Open
Source community."
Bob Young, CEO of Red Hat Software, said, "O'Reilly's
Linux Conference is a welcome addition to the resources
available to the growing Linux technical community.
We're glad to see them bring their independent,
authoritative approach to the conference arena."
Linux Journal is a major sponsor of O'Reilly's Linux
Conference. Publisher Phil Hughes said, "Since the early
days, O'Reilly has been documenting Linux and the open
source utilities that Linux users depend on. They're very
close to the technical community, and they'll bring that
inside perspective to their Linux Conference. We're
looking forward to working with them."
"We at Sendmail are happy to support this new O'Reilly
project," said Greg Olson, CEO of Sendmail, Inc.
"O'Reilly is the natural group to pull the Open Source
community together around a conference."
Jordan Hubbard of the FreeBSD project stated,
"FreeBSD is happy to support this new O'Reilly venture.
O'Reilly already has wide appeal within the Open Source
community and we look forward to working with them in
promoting all aspects of the Open Source movement."
