Subject: M/C - New issue 'mix' now online
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 30, 2001
The Media and Cultural Studies Centre at the University of Queensland
and M/C Online are proud to present issue two in volume four of:
M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture - http://www.api-network.com/mc/
'mix' Issue editors Jason Ensor and Carolyn Hughes
1. Editorial
2. List of articles
1. Editorial:
'Social Dexterity: Manoeuvring through the Mix' By Jason Ensor and
Carolyn Hughes
It would be fair to say that in our day to day negotiation between the
personal and the public, we encounter and process cultural, material and
symbolic products in all strata and sections of society. In our homes
and in our workplaces, we appear to manage multiple senses of
timekeeping and contrasting time-frames with fluid unconscious
dexterity. In our forms of entertainment and relaxation, from print to
television to cinema or from html to Mp3s to DivX, we juxtapose like and
unlike metaphors/images/products/text in a post-Frankensteinian
assemblage of innovated cultural meaning - for example, The Phantom
Menace and Austin Powers are commentaries on our visual eclecticism,
from mixing mythological elements from feudal times in a space opera to
our nostalgic enjoyment of presenting the old sixties' "style" as
renewed, millennium-way; Napster is a logical extension of file-sharing
which reflects a globalising trend towards the distribution of all
content worldwide while meeting the specific requirements of individual
taste (that is, the do-it-yourself musical cdrom drawn from thousands of
international mp3 libraries).
Likewise, in our trade of human utterances and syntax, multiple meanings
become attached to words and sentences simultaneously in a variegated
exploitation of interpretative dissonance. Oxymora abound and debates
over interpretation form the contents of a great number of publications
or the motivation behind short-circuiting dominant meanings. For
example, in the oxymoron play with language, there exist useful
combinations of opposite terms like "Original Copy", "Pretty Ugly",
"Genuine Imitation", or "Microsoft Works" which have a commonsense use
in daily exchanges. Or, in dialogues on the power behind mutual
intelligibility, a term like 'sex', which means one thing in gender
discussions, can be used in other contexts or moments
to indicate the erotic. Through such language manoeuvres in the fields
of meaning-application and interpretation, persons are accepted or
discriminated where power differentials are predicated on difference of
understanding. Where interpretative practices differ, or where
intelligibility is definitely not mutual, misunderstandings and
resistance breed. In this way, in our millennium of revealing
society's mixture of meaning, the instrumentalities of master narratives
are being unmasked in voicing these moments (and rules) of
misunderstanding and resistance.
What was once predominantly treated as a text or object -- sometimes
exhaustively studied in isolation from various social and historical
contexts, other times as cultural products facilitated by processes of
production and consumption -- is now examined within or alongside
different contexts and meanings. It is more contemporaneously sensitive
towards our wonderfully elaborate and diverse mix of interpretative
practices to situate cultural products and interpretative orders in
relation to other social practices, political structures of dominance
and exploitation, and cultural hierarchies like race, class, gender and
cyber. The implication of this approach is that the meanings of material
and symbolic products
are no longer stable nor replicated in identical fashion within cultural
dna. Society instead is transmitted from generation to generation with
mutations, and unlike cultural artefacts conjoin in new births of
meaning. The mix gene, it would appear, is widely dispersed in intricate
and novel ways.
The articles in this publication by M/C serve to illustrate the
significance of 'mix' for reshaping cultural products, social ideas,
even learning pedagogies, in ways that dramatically affect how we
perceive and interpret the world. The interpretations of 'mix' by
contributors were diverse, as expected by the broad uses of the word
'mix'. Popular culture, however, remained a dominant aspect of culture
for analysis, and this is reflected in the mix of articles we have
chosen. These articles demonstrate that the fine lines separating
genres can be smudged and shaded, and that meaning can be created from
blending and swirling rather than only through linearity.
Our feature article, "Digital Transformations: The Media is the Mix" by
Lori Landay talks about the digital media and its hybrid form and
content. This article thinks through "how digital narrative emerges
from the mix of interactivity and nonlinearity" - this makes for a
non-traditional narrative in both its structure and the way meaning is
derived from it. The recombinations draw the spectator into the
mix, where the mix is the content.
Owen's Chapman's "Mixing with Records" follows Landay's article in the
sense that the linear format of the vinyl record, both in its
constitution and the way it is played and listened to, is disrupted by
the dj practice of "mixing" to create a new audio product. This new
sound is created by the interaction of the dj and the choices of
sounds, and how these sounds are put together in a new 'mix'.
Toby Daspit's "The Noisy Mix of Hip Hop Pedagogies" responds to a
familiar parental request - "Turn down that damned noise!!!" - in an
engaging examination of educational experiences, epochal shifts and the
wider implications of incorporating hip-hop aesthetics and recombinant
textuality into schooling pedagogies. Daspit's discussion over a
fundamental reorientation to educational pedagogies is a timely piece
which resonates well within the 'mix' imperative.
The mixes evident through narrative are also investigated by Jody Mason,
though her article on Bharati Mukherjee's Wife looks more at thematic
mixes within an individual literary character's life, rather than mixes
of meaning, structure and format. Mason's article looks at the mix of
cultures and the impact of that mix upon a female
character. It seems, through an analysis of Wife, that different
components and subject positions don't always mix well, if indeed at
all.
Cutting up narrative, and cutting up sound, mixing it up and creating
something new. These two distinct media are twisted together in Jeff
Rice's article, "They Put Me in the Mix: William S Burroughs, DJs, and
the New Cultural Studies". The article itself cuts and pastes three key
cultural events to prepare an argument that
questions the methods of cultural studies regarding new media
practices.
Mark Pegrum takes a theological perspective on 'mix' in "Pop goes the
spiritual", and interrogates society's increasing trend towards
religious eclecticism via an assortment of contemporary examples of
religious references made by Western pop stars. Pegrum introduces us to
this relatively new phenomenon by looking at the dizzying admixture of
religions to be found in the songs and words of artists
and groups worldwide.
Todd Holden analyses the intriguing semiotic processes within Japanese
advertising in "Resignification and Cultural Re/Production in Japanese
Television Commercials".
Advertising in Japan is characterized less and less by attention to
product. Instead, the endless stream of Greek myths, Hollywood movies,
political references, pop music, scientists and novelists comprise a
major corner of audio-visual space. Holden examines the place of
Japanese commercials as cultural historian, entertainer,
social commentator or hawker.
Collectively, these articles demonstrate how dynamic meaning is
intimately linked to the idea of 'mix' and is concerned with questions
of meaning and value, of culture and philosophy. To rework a tired
cliché, no meaning is an island to itself but is an integral part of a
shifting, fluid, and unusual combination of cultural,
material and symbolic products in various 'mixes'.

From: "Oleg Kireev" <kireev2000@cityline.ru>
Subject: Moscow, Mayday, street-party
Tomorrow the second Russian street-party will take place. The first one was
a year ago, organized by the "SVOI 2000" ("OWN 2000", or "OUR OWN 2000")
movement. A column of carnival-like dressed people under orange flags
followed an official Communist party & red satellites columns in their
moving through the very center of the city. There were a "gangsta-jazz
orchestra" with trumpets and a dancing group of girls in a head of the
column, megafones and a plenty of slogans on the banners which could not be
understood in any language. The "SVOI 2000" column followed the reds till
the Moscow river embankment and turned aside then, crossed the center and
went through Gogolevsky boulevard and Arbat.
TOMORROW "SVOI 2000" WILL GO TO THE STREETS WITH THE ADVERTISING BANNERS.
THESE BANNERS WILL ADVERTISE THE PARTICIPANTS THEMSELVES AND EXPLAIN WHAT
THEY DO AND WHO THEY ARE. A COLUMN WILL FOLLOW AN OFFICIAL COMMUNIST COLUMN
FIRST AND MAYBE CHOOSE ITS OWN ROOT LATER.
Holiday is something what concerns happiness. It's tied to the happiness
with invisible needles; we see happiness looking at the needles. When
looking at the Mayday needles in Soviet times, people saw a global happiness
of communism. Now people don't believe in such a happiness, they dream of a
small and very concrete happiness, to find a well-paid job, for example.
Everybody imagines some kind of an ideal job. A Mayday demonstration may
concern such a happiness: everybody dreams of his ideal job, and the dream
is expressed, as it usually happens, by the use of an advertising banner.
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME

- -To add the sudden invisible weight of our virtual bodies to that of the
flesh bodies of nearly 40 students who have been occupying Harvard
administrative offices for over a week,
- -To send a message to Harvard University that we will not stop until a
Living Wage exists for all Harvard employees,
- -To demonstrate to the University and the Harvard Corporation, and to all
Universities and Corporations, that our power of collective action is
stronger than their power of greed.
The Virtual Sit-In will take place between the hours of 10:25AM and noon,
as well as between 10:25PM and midnight, on May 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
During these times, please join the Virtual Sit-In for a Living Wage simply
by pointing your browser to:

Subject: lecture / concert announcement
Announcing a lecture and concert performance by visiting
composer and sound artist Rainer Linz (Australia).
Student Cultural Centre Belgrade
May 8 2001
lecture begins 19.00hr
concert performance 21.00 hr
Music and the Body
A lecture/discussion on the subject of sound and the body. Topics to include
performance sound derived from body signals (EKG, EEG etc) such as is heard
in the work of Stelarc, as well as a consideration of how the body responds
to a range of sonic stimulation. The structure of background music forms
will also be discussed, leading to a consideration of new music composition
based on the physiological parameters of the listener.
This is not a piano
A solo concert performance based on Linz's own electronic instrument design.
Using light, pressure and ultrasound sensors as well as a miniature
keyboard, it extends the concept of a keyboard instrument to provide
multitimbral possibilities in performance. A number of short piano-like
works will be performed.

New from the Hyperdub Softwar Agency
Uncut interview with Colin Lindo/Nubian Mindz/Alpha Omega
The 'dark star', the 12th planet, planet X, Nibiru, or Rylo7 to the
scientists investigating it, is a self-sustaining mothership, 3 times the
size of planet earth. According to some sources, the beings of Nibiru have
kinky hair and dark reddish brown complexion and their children are earth
bound Nubians or blacks. We have found evidence to suggest that Rylo7
operatives have been active in Earth's northern hemisphere since the early
1990s, deploying wave after wave of sonic warfare against a planetary
populous inflicted by overpowering audio inertia. One crew which goes under
the name of 'the Reinforcers' now claims to be well into the 2nd wave of its
strategic mission. Audio forensics experts have tracked down 2 key cells in
the megalopian sprawl of London. They have detected devastating signals
emanating from a Rylo7 lab in West London, and a sustained attack from
Dollis Hill (Norf London). As we entered the 21st century, one double agent
seemed particularly active. Oscillating between the avatars Alpha Omega and
Nubian Mindz, this agent's weapon of choice is twisted breakbeat techno. We
sent our Hyperdub Softwar Agent out on his trail to find out more about his
polytempo assault. . .read on. .

For decades, the design of dynamic media derived many of its precepts from
the traditions of graphic design. Recently, though, the flow has shifted.
Motion graphics, Flash animations, title design, broadcast graphics,
net.art, hypertext, and the like are exerting ever more influence on
contemporary print design. Print may not be the dominant medium anymore, but
as notions of the paperless society and the death of the book look ever more
absurd, this is a good point to examine what print is, and where it should
go, in a post print environment. London's Eye magazine wrote recently that a
group of independent designers has emerged "working together to foster what
has become a highly focused, technologically literate creative community in
the sprawling enormity of the LA basin." mediawork: The Southern California
New Media Working Group invite you to join some of the region's leading
designers -- Anne Burdick, Denise Gonzales Crisp, Geoff Kaplan, Rebeca
Méndez, and Louise Sandhaus -- as they show their transmedia work and
discuss the Moebius strip connecting print and post print design.
mediawork is free, but please RSVP to <peterl@artcenter.edu> or 626.568.4710
to reserve a seat. Directions to Art Center can be found at

As an added attraction, during the break between sessions, we will be
hosting a release party and signing for long time mediawork participant Lev
Manovich, whose book, The Language of New Media, has just been published by
the MIT Press <www.manovich.net>. Finally, Art Center's Williamson Gallery
will be open before and after mediawork, featuring Telematic Connections -
The Virtual Embrace, a show of interactive and networked art curated by
Steve Dietz of the Walker Art Center <telematic.walkerart.org>.
