EDITION RUINE DER KUENSTE BERLIN
presents for your pleasure, use or link activities:
New Internet pieces by WOLF KAHLEN

Perdone, Cervantes
Sorry, Mister Joyce
Verzeihung, Herr von Goethe

www.tu-berlin.de/~arch_net_art


In this sound triptych in Spanish, English or German language, classical
literatures,  which you know for sure, fall apart, like so many things
today, if you are not sensitive or patient enough to receive them rather
than act on them. But here you have the chance to re-de-compose them,
acoustically. Or make your own versions by use of the words of the poets. As
we anyhow may do in our mind, mindful or absent minded, when reading the
original texts in a book, the Gutenberg way.

Enlightenment 2

http://user.berlin.de/~barbara.kahlen

What is called enlightenment is an ephemerous phenomenum, everybody, who
knows it or of it, admits, it's like a blank, vast, open space in your mind,
giving room for anything and nothing at the same time, like these empty
pages.

Enlightenment 1

http://user.berlin.de/~wolf.kahlen

A virtual enlightenment flashes up, impossible to grasp or fix, in sensous
time.


 Infinite piece, changing by every user, in the web since Jan 7th, 2000

Selbst-los /Self-less

www.wolf-kahlen.de

Net artist WOLF KAHLEN is dissolving pixel by pixel, user by user in the
net. On a first page. On the second you see and hear your personal pixel,
the one, you activated to disappear, solely on the empty page. And on the
third page you see all the 'lost' pixels arriving back and shaping a new
WOLF KAHLEN. Look, hear and have the triptych printed out, signed and
numbered, the way you, only you see the process taking shape, nobody else
has seen this moment of the RITUAL DEATH.
An exiting piece and a very conceptual one, media concerned and at the same
time offering the sensuality the net is missing mostly..
The RUINE DER KUENSTE BERLIN presents it to collectors as a present, which
WOLF KAHLEN donated at his 60th birthday. The URL for the piece is

Manifestation des fonctionnaires

Aujourd'hui, plus de 20.000 fonctionnaires belges, travaillant aussi bien dans les institutions fédérales, communauaires et communales que dans les entreprises publiques (pour combien de temps encore ?) ont défilé à Bruxelles. Les revendications étaient variées, mais elles refletaient bien deux inquietudes: à propos de leur statut, de leurs salaires et de leur condition de travail mais aussi à propos de leur rôle: celui de service au public. Un petit reportage audio de cinq minutes, réalisé principalement à partir d'interviews de manifestants, vous donnera une vision plus détaillée des enjeux. A écouter sur Indymedia:

http://belgium.indymedia.org/display.php3?article_id=3156



Attac Vlaanderen interdit de réunion publique

Attac Vlaanderen avait planifié son troisième congrès pour la journée du 10 mars.  A cet effet la salle de l'OB (Onderling Beroepskrediet, un organisme financier de crédit professionnel) à Gand avait été louée, Attac est d'ailleurs client de cet organisme.  Deux congrès ont déjà été organisés auparavant dans cette salle.  Tout était réglé et 120 personnes s'étaient inscrites au congrès, lorsque le 7 mars, l'OB revenait sur sa décision et refusait de louer sa salle.  Il est bien sûr qu'avec un préavis aussi court, le Congrès d'Attac Vlaanderen n'a pas évidemment pu trouver d'autres locaux dans les délais très courts. C'est pourquoi le congrès a été reporté de deux semaines.

Il a été immédiatement envoyé un facsimilé au directeur de l'organisme financier pour demander des éclaircissements.  Le 8 mars la réponse est parvenue : les objectifs d'Attac sont en conflit avec ceux de l'organisme.  Il se fait que le 7 mars l'organisme avait reçu la visite de deux membres de la Sûreté d'Etat.  Il en est résulté que la salle n'était plus disponible.



Il en est aussi résulté qu'Attac a décidé d'entamer une action.  La presse a été avertie et les membres d'Attac ont été invités d'envoyer des courriels aux parlementaires pour leur demander d'intervenir. La députée verte Leen Laenens s'est immédiatement déclarée prête à interpeller le Ministre de la Justice.



Interrogé par le quotidien "De Morgen", la Sûreté d'Etat a reconnu qu'elle était intervenue : "Nous nous intéressons aux mouvements anti-globalisation dans la mesure où ils peuvent troubler l'ordre public.  Nous avions lu dans la publication Solidair que le Congrès Attac aurait lieu dans un organisme financier. La combinaison OB-Attac nous paraissait remarquable et nous avons demandé à la direction de l'organisme s'ils savaient qui est Attac et en particulier qu'ils sont contre la globalisation.  Ils ne le savaient pas.  L'autorisation d'utiliser la salle avait été décidée à un échelon inférieur.  Il est évident que les informations que nous avons transmises étaient suffisantes pour annuler la location.  Nous n'avons pas insisté."



Nous nous interrogeons pour savoir pourquoi la Sûreté d'Etat se préoccupe de "troubles à l'ordre public" lorsqu'il s'agit d'informer un propriétaire de salle à propos des objectifs d'une association qui tient congrès et qui veut lui louer une salle.  Attac est par ailleurs suffisamment connue, au travers de son site internet, qui peut être consulté par tous, y compris la Sûreté d'Etat, et chacun peut prendre connaissance de toutes ses activités.  Il n'y a donc aucune raison pour entraver les activités d'une association qui répondent aux exigences les plus élémentaires et les plus démocratiques, et qui rentrent intégralement dans le cadre des droits fondamentaux garantis par la Constitution.  C'est la raison pour laquelle nous invitons chacun à envoyer un courriel au Ministre de la Justice, Marc Verwilgen, qui est, selon ses prises de positions personnelles, un défenseur convaincu des Droits de l'Homme.

Attac Vlaanderen, Galgenberg, 29, 9000 Gand Tel/Fax 09/372.44.91

Pour votre facilité vous pouvez éventuellement utiliser le texte suivant. L'adresse électronique du ministre de la Justice :

info@just.fgov.be



A l'attention de Monsieur MARC VERWILGHEN Ministre de la Justice



Monsieur le Ministre,

 Le congrès d'ATTAC prévu pour le 10 mars n'a pas pu se tenir parce que la Sûreté de l'Etat a décidé d'informer le propriétaire de la salle des idées défendues par Attac. Ce fait n'a pas été infirmé. Lorsque le quotidien "De Morgen" a posé la question, la Sûreté a admis avoir agi dans ce sens. Elle justifiait son action en se référant au mouvement anti-mondialisation qui, pourrait, selon elle, perturber l'ordre public.

Que la Sûreté estime indispensable de donner des "informations" au propriétaire de la salle est plus qu'étonnant. Qu'elle pense agir par ce biais en faveur du maintien de l'ordre public est encore plus énigmatique. Soit ceci est l'expression de la plus grande bêtise, soit elle signifie qu'il y a eu une action envers le propriétaire de la salle. Or, tant une Sûreté de l'Etat imbécile que celle estimant avoir le devoir de saboter le droit à la liberté d'expression est dangereuse pour la démocratie.

Tout laisse à penser que la Sûreté de l'Etat confond les intérêts des défendeurs de l'ordre néolibéral mondial avec celui de l'intérêt public, un peu comme ce bourgmestre qui décida de faire intervenir la gendarmerie en 1989 contre une grève dans l'entreprise dont il était le patron. Louis Tobback, le Ministre de l'intérieur d'alors, l'avait alors immédiatement rappelé à l'ordre, disant que la gendarmerie n'est pas une milice patronale.

Nous espérons que vous ferez la même chose dans un esprit identique, sachant que la mission de la Sûreté de l'Etat n'est pas de défendre les intérêts des firmes multinationales en censurant la liberté d'expression des opposants à l'ordre économique.

Radio: Grosses Têtes homophobes. (France)

Pour son retour sur RTL, Philippe Bouvard ne fait pas dans la dentelle. Parmi les petits nouveaux des &#8220;Grosses Têtes&#8221;, «choisis en fonction, non de leur âge, mais de leur talent», Ariel Wizman, de Canal+, apparemment mal à l'aise. Interrogé en marge de l'émission où les blagues sur les homosexuels ont volé bas, il a reconnu: "Ce n'est pas la grande gloire, mais ce n'est pas si désagréable que ca (...) J'ai pour principe de toujours essayer. Je ne connaissais pas bien. Ça ne me plait pas que l'on débine les homosexuels, mais en même temps je ne vais pas faire le censeur intolérant". Parce que rire des pédés et des gouines, c'est tolérant?

WITH APOLOGIES FOR ANY CROSS-POSTINGS !

Neud Nid Deud & Fitamin Un presents

"Continuous sound labordy swn continuous sound labordy swn cont..."

@ Chapter, Cardiff. March 17th 18.00 - 23.30  £4

Part gig, part bedroom, part record fair, six of Wales' leading exponents of
sonic experimentation return with an evening choc full of squeaks, beats,
wow, flutter, bread and butter. Bringing an eclectic mix of vinyl, wires,
plastics, electricity, vibrations, oxide and passion, the continuous sound
laboratory returns to Chapter in a long play format with performances from
Trawsfynydd Lo-Fi Liberation Front, Llwybr Llaethog, BomBoomBomB, Dave
Handford and SJ OHM.

Fitamin Un is also launching a 12 inch vinyl e.p. by the artists on the night:

Continuous Sound Labordy Swn Cont...

Release Date: 19/03/01
Catalogue No: Fitamin Un:Fit! 010
Format: 12 inch EP

This record is an introduction to the collective known as the "Labordy Swn
Cont..." - Wales' leading exponents of sound and noise. They are
BomBoomBomB, Trawsfynydd Lo-Fi Liberation Front, Llwybr Llaethog, Dave
Handford and SJ OHM, five cutting edge acts whose anarchic ethos towards
the creation and production of sound is experimental to say the least.
Their
manifesto is to reinterpret the meaning of noise and sound, to blur the
boundaries of music and art, to push back sonic borders and challenge all
expectations.  Labordy Swn Cont sweep away any pre-conceptions about
music and what it 'should' or 'shouldn't' be !

Challenging Manifestos

BomBoomBomB - "We want to ignite passion. We want love or hate. No middle
ground. Turn the volume up to 10 or smash up your stereo."

Trawsfynydd Lo-Fi Liberation Front - "We refuse to play any instruments...
it's so fuckin' obvious an' archaic."

S.J. OHM - "Rocks to the beat of the flâneur and his tortoise meandering
through the arcades and barricades. Magpie and bricoleur, archeologist and
grave-robber, S.J. OHM appropriates both the protestant work beats of
'Rock'n'Roll' and its bastard offspring of commodified leisure tunes to
provide a 21st Century urban sound-track for those who prefer to travel
than to arrive"

Llwybr Llaethog Sound System -"We rock hard, party hard & between a rock &
a hard party it's pretty hard to party us down. Llwybr Llaethog is our
name, sonic expression is our game. We're nice boys & were brought up
proper but sometimes we're off our rockers"

Dave Handford - "Sound as Stone.Chipping away at the edges. Collecting and
Shattering the debris."

"People find me peculiar. They think it's odd that I spend most of my waking hours wearing eight or nine Internet-connected computers sewn into my clothing and that I wear opaque wrap-around glasses day and night, inside and outdoors. They wonder why I sometimes seem detached and lost, but at other times I exhibit a vast knowledge of their specialty. A physicist once said that he felt that I had the intelligence of a dozen experts in his discipline: a few minutes later, someone else said they thought I was mentally handicapped." - Steven Mann

University of Toronto Professor Steven Mann received his doctorate at MIT's Media Lab and is described as the world's only full-time cyborg. He has produced numerous exhibitions that incorporate photographs and video work created using wearable imaging systems.

The FIRST STAGE is web-based: a mix of established and emerging DIY genres
and formats, all circling round the central premise of an Eccentric
Billionaire and his twisted love of funding bizarre social experiments in
subversion.

Contributors can then incorporate their work into the SECOND STAGE: a live
show to be launched in 2002, a hybrid of traditional theatre and interactive
multimedia in synch with live feeds, real-time interactivity, installation
art, electronica soundscapes and god knows what else.

As well as a general call for submissions, there is also an open competition
for the best submitted pieces in any genre/format, with a first prize of
$200.

All further details and information can can also be accessed at our website
at www.ebtv.org.  Otherwise all the relevant information is repeated below.

ECCENTRIC BILLIONAIRE:   Dirty Money, Clean Fun.

Yours,
Martyn & Jessica

**CENTRAL PREMISE**
The elusively enigmatic Eccentric Billionaire (Part-Packer, part-Warhol),
wants his cash doing more than just making more.  He'd like to think he's
using his untold wealth to subvert the mainstream:  buying up airtime to run
his agit-pop ads; running his own network; cutting the social fabric against
the bias by clever use of game-shows; sending his people into the streets to
reinforce counter-cultural behaviour with cash rewards; patronizing guerilla
street theatre; hawking soft-serve ideologies; etc.

**SOME SUGGESTED SUBMISSIONS**

YOU PROPAGANDA MACHINE!
When it stops flogging goods & services, advertising can hard-sell ideology.
So do your own ad (print, TV, radio, web, whatever). Mix'n'match
sloganeering from brand-culture with the 'no-logo' public service
announcement, splice snide media parody with sincere political commentary.
Tell us what you wish your TV would tell you.

BEG US FOR MONEY!
What'd you fix if you gave a damn and had a limitless budget? Hand over your
grand plans. Media pranks, social engineering, well-intentioned terrorism, a
new tax system, legal reform, class eugenics, or D) other. Stuff that'd
change the world if only it were broadcast, built, or bankrolled.

SELLING OUT FAST!
Some of Eccentric Billionaire's free money trickles into your life. Explore
the possibilities of a world in which any action can win cash prizes, any
hesitation can cost you big time, and the whims of the rich change lives in
an instant.  Hypothetical encounters in his cash flow, documented on his
top-rating reality-TV channel.

PROSTITUTE YOUR ART!
Eccentric Billionaire, acting as fickle patron, also sponsors Real Art that
concerns itself with:  money and power; propaganda and thought-control;
subversion and fascism; philanthropy and publicity; or anything else that
takes his fancy.

FOLLOW THE MONEY!
The one thing Eccentric Billionaire hates about money is it's too damn
quiet.  He announces where his every red cent is going and wants you to do
the same. Provide outraged editorials on real-life conflicts-of-interest and
media bias, a la Media Watch and Michael Moore.  Find out who's pulling the
strings... and start yanking their chains.

Remember: You may already be a winner!

"The Mouse is Mightier than the Baton":

A proposal for online protests
around the Free Trade Area of the
Americas Conference
Quebec, Canada, April 20th-22nd, 2001.


Produced by the electrohippies collective, March 2001.
website: http://www.gn.apc.org/pmhp/ehippies/
email: ehippies@gn.apc.org




Introduction

On April 20 hundreds of delegates from 34 nations will meet
in Quebec, Canada to discuss creating the Fee Trade Area
of the Americas agreement. The purpose of this is to expand
NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement between
Canada, Mexico and the US) to include all of North, Central,
and South America. This agreement is being negotiated in
secret, without any input or debate from the public arena.

The goal of the FTAA is to impose the NAFTA model of
increased privatisation and deregulation hemisphere-wide.
FTAA would deepen the negative effects of NAFTA, such as
greater deregulation of business activities, and
environmental and economic exploitation of the poor, as
seen in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. over the past seven
years. But the FTAA will also expand the NAFTA-principle
into areas which are currently only being set up for
discussion at the WTO level - such as the trade in services
(the proposals for which are very like GATS), expanding
intellectual property rights, and 'harmonising' trade
standards (including environmental standards, but also
investment, akin to the aims of the Multilateral Agreement on
Investment).

>From the European side of the Atlantic, this may seem an
abstract issue. But agreements that could be pushed
through the FTAA could form the basis of a 'negotiating
block' at future World Trade Organisation (WTO)
conferences. The recent issues of public concern in Europe,
such as intensive agriculture, hormone treated beef and
genetically engineered crops, could be made worse with the
pressure that an FTAA block could place on the EU.
Therefore, in terms of a practical expression of public
opinion, the FTAA conference presents two angles for
participation:

# For those within the Americas, it's a basic process on
democratic participation in decision-making processes
surrounding national and international issues that affect
everyday life;

# For those outside the Americas, it's all about the impacts
of free trade, and the use of economic pressure through
the WTO to change national policies on the standards
and safety of commodities, food, and environmental
impacts.

We wish to ensure that the mouse is Mightier than the Baton
becomes a full globalised action (but our sort of globalisation
rather than theirs).




Why are the electrohippies involved

the electrohippie collective is basically a 'think tank' where
the issues of online protest and action are experimented
with. But our aim is to provide assistance to groups who
want to use the Internet to mount protests against issues
that offend democracy and human rights. Since at least the
Summer of 2000 we've had various requests from people
asking us to mount a similar online protest to the WTO event
in November 1999.

The right to participate in political processes is a human
right. And in the case of the FTAA, what really swung the
view of the electrohippies were the steps being taken to
ensure that the public could not effectively protest against
the conference. Not only will central Quebec be closed off
around the conference venue (as would be expected). But a
special security fence is being constructed to create a
'controlled zone' of 4 or 5 square kilometres in central
Quebec. At the same time, space is being cleared in local
'holding facilities' to immediately accommodate any
protesters who are arrested.

Therefore the electrohippie collective will be developing a
few online 'events' for the public to participate in to press the
case for the democratisation of trade negotiations such as
FTAA, and to protest the methods being used to prevent
public protest around the conference itself. This will mean
that those people unable to get to Quebec (from the
Americas or globally), and those in Quebec who can't
physically approach the conference, will be able to mark the
event expressively.

To complement the approach of the authorities in Quebec,
we've decided to call our action, The Mouse is Mightier
than the Baton.




What were planning

the electrohippies don't represent people. the electrohippies
don't lead people. All we do is provide the technical
infrastructure for people to do something, and it's then up to
the public whether or not they take part, and if so to what
extent.

For this action we were considering three media: web sites,
email and faxes. The email action will be directed at lobbying
national governments. The fax action likewise. As is our
usual policy we will be specifying the condition of 'one
person - one email'. The email and fax actions are not
intended to be 'blocking' actions. They are intended as a
legitimate attempt to put people in contact with those who
are making decisions about their lives.

The web-based action will however be a blocking action.
Where governments and authorities are actively restricting
protest and public expression, we regard it as valid to exert
some form of restriction back. For our last action, on the
issues of genetic engineering in April 2000, we held a poll on
whether it would be valid to restrict access to genetic
companies web site because it wasn't entirely clear that they
were effectively doing so. In the event the majority (the 'don't
know' and the 'no' votes) were in favour of not going ahead.
In this instance we will not be holding a poll since the case in
this instance is absolutely clear that there is a positive move
by various authorities to restrict protest around the
conference. Therefore, we'll be using the electrohippies
client-side sit in tool to mount a sit-in of the FTAA and other
associated web sites during around the time of the
conference.


What we need

We'd like to work with those groups organising events in
Quebec in order to ensure that the actual message we
supply using the electrohippies online action tools
complements the real world action. the electrohippies are
techies and campaigners. We can supply the means for
people to do something, but we need help to supply the
actual message conveyed because we prefer to let people
represent their own message using our tools as far as is
possible. So we're looking for partners to mount the actions.
We also need help to translate the tools we develop into
Spanish and Portuguese.

The other thing we'd like to agree with groups organising
protests in Quebec and the Americas are who the targets of
the email and fax actions should be. In particular, we'd like to
ensure that we target those government officials and political
representatives who are most fervently pro-FTAA.

If you'd like to discuss our proposals further, and if you'd like
to work to develop them, please get in touch -

Subject: an office furniture hyper-vaudeville & information machinery  trans-extravaganza

FADO PRESENTS ISTVAN KANTOR (TORONTO)

ISTVAN KANTOR -- "The Addmore Session"
March 24, 2001, 10 am - 5 pm
Addmore Office Furniture, 82 Spadina Ave.
Free

"an office furniture hyper-vaudeville
&  information machinery trans-extravaganza"

TORONTO, Canada ... On March 24, FADO will present "The Addmore
Session", a
new work by internationally acclaimed Toronto artist Istvan Kantor.
Presented as part of FADO's PUBLIC SPACES/PRIVATE PLACES series, "The
Addmore Session" is the latest installment in The File Cabinet Project,
a
body of work that Kantor has been developing since 1993.

Audience members are invited to meet Kantor in his favorite environment,

surrounded by file cabinets in one of Toronto's largest office furniture

stores. Kantor and a number of guest performers will demonstrate the
links
between the office and the concert hall, information technology and
sexual
symbolism, communication and insanity. The all day program will include
furniture-opera, desktop-dancing, cabinet-catwalking, office-crucifixion

and more.

Kantor explores the file cabinet as a sculptural element in machinery
installations, performances and video productions. His interest is more
than a physical fascination or aesthetic obsession with monolithic
office
furniture. In Kantor's hyper-theoretical interpretation, the world wide
web
is a machinery-monument of information storage furniture interconnected
through computers. The gesture of moving cabinet drawers in and out,
sliding them back and forth, becomes the engine of information exchange.

Istvan Kantor (a.k.a. Monty Cantsin) is active in the fields of
robotics,
sound, video, performance and new media. His work has been shown at many

prestigious international art events, including Documenta '87 and Ars
Electronica 2000. He has received the Telefilm Canada Award for Best
Canadian Video (1998 Images festival, Toronto), as well as the
Transmediale
01 award in Berlin, Germany for his new video Broadcast. Infamous for
his
"blood-x donations" to the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New
York), the National Gallery (Ottawa), AGO (Toronto), and the Ludwig
Museum
(Koln), just to mention a few, Kantor/Cantsin's criminal records are
even
longer than his list of awards.. The media and critics have described
his
work as rebellious, anti-authoritarian, and intellectually assaulting,
as
well as technically innovative and highly experimental. Internationally
known as the founder of Neoism, Kantor has lived in Budapest, Paris,
Montreal, Portland and New York. He has lived in Toronto since 1991.

PUBLIC SPACES/PRIVATE PLACES is a three-year long international
performance
art series featuring over 25 artists from Canada, the US, Europe and
Asia.
The series explores the elements that turn neutral 'space' into
meaningful
'place' through performances that examine the degrees of intimacy,
connection and interaction that mark the dividing line between public
and
private. The series is particularly focused on performances created for
intimate audiences. Some projects feature site-specific or
installational
environments that invite participants into a sensory or experiential
journey. Others are process-oriented, involving public intervention,
intimate gestures, or actions that may, by their nature, be nearly
invisible. Above all, the series explores the points where identity and
geography intersect to generate meaning.

Special thanks to Addmore Office Furniture.
