How are the popularization of connectivity ("get connected", Nokia) and the individualization of presence on the net ("your personal homepage") affecting the framework conditions for all types of net art? Is it possible to maintain a counter-cultural net art or community concept in a time when net-based discourses are increasingly becoming merchandise-type discourses ("satisfy your lust", Siemens)? What meaning is possibly left, against this background, for strategies such as appropriation, irony, fake, subversion, diversification or for something like (sub-cultural) counter-information?

Her boss locked her up in an office without food or water or a phone. He tried over and over to cajole her into signing a letter of resignation. He watched her to see if she would break down. She held out for twelve hours, and later she sued the company. Her boss told the judge that she was crazy and that it never happened. No one would claim to have seen her. Dolores from 10h to 22h is based on a story that no one saw. On November 22nd, you can see what happened. Dolores from 10h to 22h is a net.performance by Coco Fusco and Ricardo Dominguez that will be broadcast live via internet on November 22nd, 2001 from Kiasma, Helsinki’s Museum of Contemporary Art. To view the performance live and add your comments to the chat, log on to between 10am and 10pm (Central European Time).

Su jefe la encerró en una oficina sin alimento, agua o teléfono. El hombre la presionaba para ver si la mujer finalmente se arrepentía de lo que había hecho. Aguantó durante doce horas, después de aceptarlo demandó a la compañía. El jefe se refirió al juez asegurando que la mujer estaba loca y que eso jamás había sucedido. Nadie podría afirmar haberla visto. DOLORES de 10h hasta 22h esta basada en una historia que nadie nunca vió. El 22 de Noviembre podrás ver lo que sucedió. DOLORES de 10h hasta 22h es un Net.Performance por Coco Fusco y Ricardo Dominguez que será divulgado a través del Internet el día 22 de Noviembre del 2001 por Kiasma, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Helsinki.

URL:www.kiasma.fi/ars/dolores Declaración de los Artistas acerca de la Cultura de Vigilancia En la Cultura de Vigilancia que tenemos hoy, la cultura Net vacila entre la narrativa del Terror y la narrativa del Placer. Según la narrativa del terror, la proliferación de cámaras fotográficas significa potencia y seguridad. Algunos se sienten seguros al saber que todo está siendo observado o vigilado. Más aún, es sentirse con poder el saber que al hacer click en un botón se está teniendo acceso a un mundo convertido a pura información. Según la narrativa del placer, la proliferación de juegos, los espectáculos voyerísticos y los decorados virtuales que han transformado nuestro imaginario cultural conducen al un disfrute elevado y diversificado del deleite. Algunos se sienten con poder al tener la posibilidad de observar o vigilar el momento más privado de una persona, aunque sea obviamente una simulación. Los paisajes de las pantallas en un mundo vigilado presentan una visualización que no termina solo en mostrar sujetos ofreciéndose a sí mismos a nuestra contemplación. Así, la política invasora de mirar o vigilar es normalizada por el eroticismo del exhibicionismo. Coco Fusco y Ricardo Dominguez Artists’ Statement on Surveillance Culture In today’ s culture of surveillance, net.culture vacillates between the narrative of Terror and the narrative of Pleasure. According to the narrative of Terror, the proliferation of cameras equals power and security. Some feel safe if they know that everything is watched. Even more feel empowered knowing that a click on a button equals access to a world converted into pure information. According to the narrative of Pleasure, the proliferation of games, voyeuristic spectacles and virtual scenarios that have transformed our cultural imaginary lead to heightened and diversified enjoyment. Some feel empowered by the ability to watch what looks like anyone’s most private moment, however obvious the simulation. The screenal landscapes of the surveyed world present a never-ending display of subjects offering themselves to our gaze. Thus, the politics of invasive looking is normalized by the erotics of exhibitionism. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 01:02:30 +0200 (CEST) From: Gerbrand Oudenaarden <gerbrand@oudenaarden.nl> Subject: Engaged journalism about climate conference in Marrakech Press release - Marrakech - 27 October 2001 - please distribute widely Engaged journalism about climate conference in Marrakech http://climate.indymedia.org During the next two weeks a team form Engage! Tactical Media will be covering the climate conference in Marrakech through the internet. The journalists will publish their critical analyses, the interviews with the stakeholders, the action reports and their diaries on http://climate.indymedia.org. In the mean time they will be working on a documentary film about 'carbon trading'. The Engage! crew is driven by their dislike of the unwillingness of the International Community to address the Climate Crisis. The reduction targets are too low and the proposed measurements ineffective. The aim of Engage! will be to give voice to the least heard groups: people from the south and grass-roots environmentalists. The trading in 'air' will be the primary target. All the technical details about the emissions trading still have to be filled in. The biggest polluters of the atmosphere will profit the most from the proposed reduction mechanisms. The need to take firm domestic action ebbs away due to the possibility of emission trading and to the fact that the reduction percentages are very low. The implementation of market-based mechanisms is a trend witch fits perfectly in the neo liberal global economy. Whether the pollution caused by market based economy can be solved by the same measurements that created it, remains an unanswered question. Big companies and accountancy firms have already set up different lobby groups because they see ways to make money in this multi-billion-dollar emission-trading-game. The climate crisis looks like it has stopped being an environmental problem, it is a new way to make money. Engage! Tactical Media has worked at the previous climate conferences in The Hague (November 2000) and Bonn (July 2001). Engage! travelled to Marrakech by train as a possible way to help reduce CO2 emissions. +++++end of press release+++++ +++++not for publication+++++ Gerbrand Oudenaarden +31 6 53151920 gerbrand@oudenaarden.nl Bart Brugmans +31 6 24798780 bart@engage.nu Nanette Danckaarts +31 6 15220929 nanette@engage.nu Or contact the whole team: cimteam@engage.nu - -- | Gerbrand Oudenaarden / Engage!

Oktober 2001 PRESSEMITTEILUNG transmediale.02 [go public!] 5.-10. Februar 2002 Berlin, Haus der Kulturen der Welt Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kollegen, das internationale Medienkunst-Festival transmediale, ein Projekt der Berliner Kulturveranstaltungs-GmbH, wird im Februar 2002 erstmals in Kooperation mit dem Haus der Kulturen der Welt stattfinden.

'Go public!' zitiert ironisch einen Begriff aus der New Economy und fordert als Festivalmotto Kuenstler, Fachbesucher und Publikum dazu auf, an die Oeffentlichkeit zu gehen und neue Ideen fuer die Gestaltung und Nutzung des oeffentlichen Raumes im digitalen Zeitalter zu entwickeln - im Netz, in den Medien, auf der Strasse. Das Festivalprogramm und weitere Informationen zur transmediale.02 sowie die Moeglichkeit, sich zu akkreditieren, erhalten Sie Anfang Dezember. Wir freuen uns, wenn wir Sie im naechsten Jahr wieder bei der transmediale begruessen können.

The Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) is a highly recognized major venue. Set within the political centre of Germany, the Reichstags-area in Berlin, the stylish HKW building will host the transmediale international media art festival (5 - 10 February 2002) and the international media art exhibition (5 - 24 February 2002) in February 2002. The transmediale international media art exhibition will be Berlin's first extensive media art exhibition and is an important addition to the transmediale programme. The transmediale exhibition will present internet-, video- and sound-installations, highlighting new aesthetic concepts using digital technologies. The up-coming festival transmediale.02 will feature conferences, workshops, presentations, a 'hands-on' media lounge and the presentation of the transmediale awards. Running through the festival programme as a thematic guide line, next year's festival motto is: 'Go public!' Citing a phrase predominantly associated with the stock market, 'Go public!' is an appeal to artists and audience alike to [re-]appropriate public space via the aesthetic transformation of New Media. The festival will provide a focus highlighting the autonomous use of digital technologies as a means of expression, exhibition and publication by individuals or individual groups. What are the new spaces offered by New Media? Are there new forms of participation? Within the global society, is there a public sphere to "go public" to? The festival programme and further information about transmediale.02 as well as accreditation forms will be available by December 2001. We would welcome your participation and are looking forward to seeing you during next year's transmediale!

Time: 1.- 18. 11.2001 Space: Arts Centre Rotermann's Salt Storage, Ahtri 2, Tallinn W-F 12.00-20.00; Sat.-Sun. 11.00-18.00; various spaces in Tallinn city. The main exercise for Interstanding 4: end repeat is to examine the loop. The uptake of digital technology is pervasive across the many disciplines of both Arts and Sciences. With uniformity in the hardware, operating systems and software adopted, a common ground has emerged. This convergence presents an ideal, although possibly temporary, opportunity for varied practitioners to collaborate between disciplines. Behind this, an impetus to innovate is motivating the need to exploit this potential to further benefit the disciplines in and of themselves. The over exploitation of visual sense (the screen) in digital art demands also an investigation into interfaces using other senses characteristic to humans. Artists are invited to exploit the 'invisible' computer and produce work which uses communication innovative ways. End repeat aims to reveal the boundary between the current status of digital arts and the potential that awaits. The programme of events has been selected to reveal the conditions necessary for terminating the loop and progressing into new territories.

The study of the use of media in times of crisis (both historical and contemporary) is an essential component of any comprehensive understanding of the link between reliable information and credible, meaningful communication in electronic culture. For those of us in the field of media studies, this presents a deep crisis of the media itself. It signifies a troubling realignment in the accumulation and distribution of information in an environment in which a "fatal attraction for instantaneity" is linked with conceptualizing momentous cultural change. This is particularly true as the siege of Washington and New York are reverberating wildly with both substantive information and wild speculation. French writer Paul Virilio reminded us during the Gulf War, that "images have become munitions." The opposite has also become true, that munitions have become images. This forum will be focused on developing an open dialogue that looks directly at recent events and situate them critically in the history of media. Panelists: Timothy Druckrey, Moderator - Media theorist, curator, and faculty member of the Maryland Institute College of Art; Druckrey co-edited Culture on the Brink: Ideologies of Technology and edited Iterations: The New Image, Electronic Culture: Technology and Visual Representation, Ars Electronica: Facing the Future, and Net_Condition: Art and Global Media. Steve Kovats - Editor of Media Revolution. Electronic Media in the Transformation Process of Eastern and Central Europe and a teacher and initiator of international projects in the fields of architecture and electronic arts. Martha Rosler - Video artist, photographer, and author in media issues from the Visual Arts Department at Rutgers University; her work has been exhibited in "Documenta 7," and in several Whitney biennials. New Media Forum is a series of panel discussions presented by the Center for New Media of the Maryland Institute College of Art. The series is moderated by MICA faculty to include guest artists, engineers, designers, and scholars from the Baltimore area and beyond. The Forum focuses on critical perspectives that attempt to make sense of the changing cultural phenomena resulting from the emergence of new technologies. Upcoming panels: Will Larson, February 19, 2002 "Situated Realities And the New Techno-realism" An examination of the re-formation of the photograph and its representational implications within the context of this new computed realism. Ellen Lupton, April, 2002 "Skin: Engineering the Body, Art/Design/Media" An exploration of how contemporary artists have responded to the radical, sometimes alarming, transformation of nature by using tools and ideas from medicine, biology, design, and digital media.

While ballot box politics is reported to be in decline, at least in the West, the politics of popular protest is taking off: from colourful spectacles to direct, and sometimes violent, confrontation with a variety of political targets. The conference will focus on new social movements (including the antiglobalisation movement), actions on the internet, and individual actions, as well as looking at the ambivalent response of the traditional 'left' to these emerging forms of political activity. We will also be asking whether there are acceptable and unacceptable expressions of direct action and what might be the future of the movement in the light of the events of September 11th.

In the chair: Tim Jordan, co-editor of the forthcoming journal, Social Movement Studies and author of Cyberpower: The Culture and Politics of Cyberspace. 11.45am - 1pm A Challenge to the Protest Movement (Nash Room) How do we stop a protest message being lost in violent confrontation? Can protest embrace disruptive behaviour, or should it always be non-confrontational? Is there a place for alternative summits when the coverage will be of violence in the streets - or do they just assuage the minds of the NGO's taking part? This session is hosted by the New Economics Foundation, whose code of protest can be found at www.neweconomics.org . Speakers include: Liana Cisneros, from Jubilee Plus; Ed Mayo, executive director, NEF; and Lucy Pearce (People and Planet). In the chair is Andrew Simms, director of global economy programme, NEF. LUNCH 2pm - 3:15pm The Internet: An Activist's Playground (Nash Room) The internet has become an essential tool in the kit of the modern activist. >From aggressive hacker techniques to inclusive global networking activities - but how well is it being used, and to what effect? While undoubtedly widening the reach of a political action, does the internet take away from the passion and impact of face-to-face interaction? Speakers include: Stefan Magdalinski, creator of upmystreet.com and faxyourmp.com; Paul Mobbs, from the electrohippiess; and James Wilsdon, head of strategy at Demos, currently working on a report on hactivism for Forum for the Future. In the chair is Paul Taylor, author of Hackers: Crime in the Digital Sublime.. What's Wrong with a Travelling Anarchist Circus? George McKay in Conversation (Brandon Room) George McKay in conversation with Tim Jordan. They will be speaking about the resurgence of anarchist ideas in DIY culture; the importance of culture in recent social movements; and the historical view of protest. George McKay is author of Senseless Acts of Beauty, an exploration of cultures of resistance since the 1960's and DIY Culture, which maps the radical culture and direct action politics of contemporary society. 3.30pm - 5pm (theatre) Antonio Negri (commissioned video) Radical philosopher, political activist, now an independent researcher and writer and an inmate at Rebibbia Prison, Rome (for offences supposedly committed in the 1970's), Antonio Negri's most recent book, written with Michael Hardt, is Empire, the new bible of the anti-globalisation movement. In this video, he is in conversation with John Foot, lecturer in Italian History in the Department of Italian, UCL and author of Milan since the Miracle. City, Culture, Identity. Foot will introduce the video and take questions. 6pm onwards (Nash) A selection of screenings by independent film makers Undercurrents and Indymedia: from hunt saboteurs to antiglobalisation demonstrations. Sunday November 11th 10.30am - 11.30am Electronic Civil Disobedience: the computers byte back (theatre) Depending on who you speak to, they're cyberterrorists or on-line Ghandis. Ricardo Dominguez, spokesperson for the New York based Electronic Disturbance Theatre, discusses with Paul A. Taylor, author of "Hackers" whether electronic civil disobedience is a meaningful form of protest or just more E-hype. The Electronic Disturbance Theatre have carried out numerous successful acts of "electronic civil disobedience" using such innovative on-line tools as Floodnet. 11.45am - 1pm Have we Been Here Before? (Nash Room) Are recent examples of 'direct action', from the fuel protestors to anti-globalisation protests, a radical endorsement of the power of collective action? How do some of the more creative actions of the last 10 years differ from previous attempts to blast apart political apathy? Does the immediate playfulness of much current political protest mask a poverty of ideas about how to bring about significant social change? Speakers include: Peter Tatchell, who has moved from conventional party politics to 'single issue' campaigns and actions; John Lloyd, associate editor of The New Statesman; Paul Hilder from openDemocracy, a global network for debate and invention; and Emma Bircham, editor of Anticapitalism: A Guide to the Movement. In the chair is Bruce Kent¸ formerly vice-president of CND. Workshop and film screening (Brandon Room) Led by Sam Wild, from Indymedia. A look at the changes which have provided the opportunity for people to create their own media and address politics and protest in new ways. Using the Indymedia film about the protests in Genoa, Sam will explain how over 100 people working on video projects in Genoa went about collating and editing so much footage in such a short time, and show how its done: final editing, continuity, distribution, recouping costs, marketing and original ways to use the video. LUNCH 2pm - 3.30pm Zapatismo and the Carnival: direct action in the 21st century (Nash Room) The years 2000 and 2001 saw changes in direct action politics. From the discipline of zapatismo to the demonstration as carnival and temporary autonomous zone, social movement politics has intensified. Do tactics such as the paddin gup of the tute bianchi or white overalls movement, or the violence of the police in Genoa, signify changes in the antiglobalisation movement and in the understanding of direct action? Where does the politics of direct action go now? Speakers include: John Jordan, artist, anti-capitalist activist and co-editor of forthcoming We are everywhere: the irresistible rise of global anti-capitalism, Eva Gilmore, an Italian civil disobedience activist; and Tim Jordan, editor of Social Movement Studies and author of the forthcoming Activism!: direct action, hacktivism and future of society. In the chair is Adam Lent, author of British Social Movements since 1945: sex, colour, race and power. "Have I Got Truths For You": the Ambivalent Status of News in the reporting of direct actions and counter-culture spectacles (Brandon Room) Media reporting is an intrinsic part of any action, protest or spectacle. But the media is rapidly polarising between a mass audience mainstream which is 'objective' and impassive and a proliferation of community led alternatives who confess to being 'subjective' and involved. While all the mainstream reporters are banging on the doors of the alternative news networks for better sources, will they ever get the 'real' story as long as they remain disinterested? Without attempting neutrality and autonomy, will the 'new media' only ever preach to the converted? Can the two camps be bridged to bring about meaningful news that leads to change - and makes readers/viewers contemplate getting involved? Or is that simply not the job of a reporter? Speakers include; Lucie Morris, reporter (undercover in Genoa) The Daily Mail; Gibby Zobel, founder of Schnews and news editor The Big Issue; Paul O'Connor, founder of Undercurrents; and Darius Bazargan, producer BBC news. In the chair: Guardian environment editor, John Vidal 4pm Where do we go from here? (theatre) In a climate of extremism, but with the wealth of options discussed throughout the weekend, how can direct action be harnessed to bring about change? Is it possible to remain radical while engaging constructively with business, politics and the media? Is tempered radicalism the way forward? How can you widen engagement without diluting the message? Speakers include Jem Bendell, activist and consultant on Corporate Social Responsibility; Stan Vincent, Head of Actions, Greenpeace; representative from the corporate world tbc; and Noah Tucker, activist, also closely involved in the union movement and in community campaigns. In the chair is Hilary Wainwright, editor of Red Pepper ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 08:56:49 +0100 From: Kulturamt der Stadt Oldenburg <info@kulturamt.oldenburg.de> Subject: edith-russ-haus =?iso-8859-1?Q?f=FCr?= medienkunst Lange Nacht am 3.

November 2001, 20 Uhr Podewil, Klosterstr.68-70, Berlin-Mitte Eintritt: DM 10 / DM 8 Der transmediale salon im Podewil praesentiert am Montag, den 5.11. um 20 Uhr den Wiener Kuenstler und Kurator Norbert Pfaffenbichler mit einem Vortrag zu neuen Tendenzen in der oesterreichischen audiovisuellen Kunst - Wiener Elektroniker. Norbert Pfaffenbichler ist Mitglied der Wiener Kuenstlerkollektive vidok und monoscope, hat mehrmals bei der Kuratierung der oesterreichischen Diagonale mitgewirkt und ist fuer den visuellen Part bei der Band Sofa Surfers verantwortlich. Parallel zur vielbeachteten Wiener elektronischen Musikszene entwickelte sich in den letzten Jahren auch im visuellen Bereich eine eigenstaendige Kultur. In diesem Experimentierfeld entstanden an der Schnittstelle von Akustischem und Visuellem unzaehlige Videos, Webpages, CD-Roms und audiovisuelle Liveacts. Bei den vorgestellten Arbeiten wird das Verhaeltnis im Zusammenspiel von Ton und Bild insofern neu ausgelotet, als dass es hier nicht mehr unbedingt den gewohnten, narrativen Strukturen des Musikclips folgt. Rhythmische Muster werden zerlegt, im Mittelpunkt steht die Suche nach einer anderen visuelle Sprache und Ausdrucksform, einem neuen Umgang mit Bildern. Der Vortrag wird eine kurze Chronologie skizzieren und exemplarisch einige Projekte vorstellen. (Austrian Abstracts, sixpack, mego, xtv, vidok, re-p, etc.) English version: transmediale salon: Wiener Elektroniker Monday 5th November 2001, 8.00 pm transmediale salon presents Vienna based artist and curator Norbert Pfaffenbichler. In a lecture titled Wiener Elektroniker he will give a presentation on new developments in contemporary austrian audiovisual arts. Mr. Pfaffenbichler is an active member of vienna artists groups vidok and monoscope. He also participated in the curation of Austrian film-festival diagonale and is responsible for the visual design part of the band sofa surfers. In addition to the highly acknowledged Vienna electronic music scene there has been a constant development towards an independent visual electronic arts scene. An astonishing number of videos, web sites, CDroms and audiovisual live acts has been created in this experimental space where audio and visual arts overlap. The difference between traditional audiovisual artworks with narrative, linear structures (such as video clips) and new progressive art forms will be clearly visible in the works presented at transmediale salon. In search of new forms of visual expression and communication artists start dissolving traditional rhythmic patterns and structures. The lecture will give a chronological overview on recent developments as well as a more detailed presentation of some particular projects.

Time: 1th - 18th of November 2001 Space: Arts Centre Rotermann's Salt Storage, Ahtri 2, Tallinn Wen.- Fri.12.00 - 20.00; Sat.- Sun. 11.00 - 18.00; Tallinn city space, http://www.interstanding.ee. 'end repeat' aims to reveal the boundary between the current status of digital arts and the potential that awaits. The programme of events has been selected to reveal the conditions necessary for terminating the loop and progressing into new territories. 'end repeat's' main objective is to examine the loop. The uptake of digital technology is pervasive across the many disciplines of both Arts and Sciences. With uniformity in the hardware, operating systems and software adopted, a common ground has emerged. This convergence presents an ideal, although possibly temporary, opportunity for varied practitioners to collaborate between disciplines. Behind this, an impetus to innovate is motivating the need to exploit this potential to further benefit the disciplines in and of themselves. 'end repeat' emphasises the state of over exploitation of visual sense (the screen) in digital arts. 'end repeat' is an invitation to investigate interfaces other then the visual. Artists are invited to exploit the 'invisible' computer and produce work which uses communication innovative ways. 'end repeat' relocates from the Estonian Academy of Art's E-Media Centre to Arts Centre Rotermann's Salt Storage transforming into an open medialab: a place for workshops, performances, presentations, webcasts and other activities.
