Using Futuresonic's map of surveillance cameras in Manchester, a team of performers will walk through Manchester city performing for the cameras with big crosses shaved on their heads. This is an idiot-proof and cheap alternative to face recognition software, it will assist the surveillance workers to spot the trouble-makers, thus saving much needed capital. It will be promoted as a live event with opportunities for people to view the performance via the web-cams live. This is an opportunity to collaborate with the SCP et al.

Schienke" <erich@fog.com> Subject: PDC 2002 - the Participatory Design Conference Passing along info to this great conference to nettime. e. - ----- "Participation and Design Inquiring into the politics, contexts and practices of collaborative design work" June 23 - 25 2002 - School of Art and Communication, Malmoe University, Malmoe, Sweden Sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility In cooperation with IFIP WG 9.1, Computers and Work Held in conjunction with DIS 2002, Designing Interactive Systems CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Since 1990, the Participatory Design Conferences have brought together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines and work traditions, probing the social scope and practices of design of technology. A core concern has been to understand how collaborative design processes can be based on participation of the people affected by the technology designed. The involvement of users and the focus on human-centered design, addressing the design of technology 'through the interface', were pioneered by contributions to the Participatory Design Conferences. Debates within the participatory design community have contributed to the development of a new IT design field emphasizing simultanously the need for thorough studies of the context of use, the relevance of an open and participatory design process, and concern for the political aspects of the technology in use. Today the collaborative nature of the design process and the need to involve a large variety of stakeholders has gained wider acceptance. At the same time a fundamental uncertainty concerning the scope and directions for the design of technology has created a growing interest in innovative approaches to participation and design. With the theme Participation and Design, the Participatory Design Conference 2002 invites researchers, designers and other practitioners to present inquiries into the politics, contexts and practices of collaborative design work. We invite contributions from all design fields such as architecture, urban planning, engineering, interaction design and others (such as the fine arts) with a focus on understanding collaborative design work. Inquiring into the contexts of use is becoming increasingly important as part of design work. Ethnographic approaches to field studies are producing valuable insights into existing and emerging practices of use, but the transition from what we learn from studies of work practices and social interactions to the design of a system, application or other design products remains poorly explored. Despite a well established literature on such approaches as contextual inquiry, focus groups and cooperative prototyping, the potential of participatory approaches to design oriented practice studies is often neglected in ethnographic approaches. Altogether, collaborative design practices, although widespread, are still not well understood. Design processes that are open to a large and varied group of participants are lacking a firm grounding in analysis of empirical studies and action research. How can the organisation of design processes in time and space accomodate participation? What roles do coordinating artifacts play in collaboration? How do design artifacts serve as bridges or barriers to diverse uesrs, including users with disabilities? What are the effects of distributed design processes on patterns of participation?What kinds of dialogues are possible between distributed design practices vs. local design practices and national or regional cultures? How does the local design process relate to the potential global outreach of the design? The politics of design must address questions about what can be and what should be designed. In a user-centered design process the distinction between the designed artifact, the context of use and the process of design may become blurred . Where does the design practice end, and the practice of use begin? When the technology is becoming tailorable in use, what is it then relevant to design for? How does participatory design work allow for redesign and participation in use over time?

The PDC 2002 will be held at Malmoe University in the buildings of the School of Art and Communication. The School of Art and Communication founded on a 'manifesto for a digital Bauhaus for the 21'th century' are one of the Scandinavian pioneers in new design oriented IT programmes and the School is also hosting the south Sweden part of Interactive Institute a new research institute bringing together artists, designers and engineers in search of new interactions between people and technology. With the PDC 2002 we expect to bring together between 200 and 300 researchers and designers working with design of new technology. Bringing the conference to Scandinavia for the first time provides an exiting opportunity to enlarge the European participation and particularly to attract a larger audience among IT professionals in the Scandinavian countries ************************* IMPORTANT DATES IN 2002 1 February Due date for all submissions 15 March Acceptance notification to authors 1 May Due date for Final Proceedings version for all written submissions *********************** SUBMISSION INQUIRIES Thomas Binder.

May 16-19, 2002 http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02 Researchers, community workers, social activists, educators and students, journalists, artists, policy-makers, and citizens are all concerned about the shape that the new information and communication infrastructure will take. Will it meet the needs of all people? Will it help people address current and future issues? Will it promote democracy, social justice, sustainability? Will the appropriate research be conducted? Will equitable policies be enacted? The Shaping the Network Society symposium -- sponsored by the Public Sphere Project of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility and the National Communication Association Task Force on the Digital Divide -- will provide a forum and a platform for these critical issues. And through the exploration of "patterns" we hope that this symposium will help spur the evolution of an information and communication infrastructure that truly meets today's urgent needs. Please join us in Seattle in May 2002 for this exceptional event! To promote bridge-building between theory and practice, across economic, cultural, geographical, and disciplinary chasms, we are soliciting "patterns," instead of abstracts, and accepted patterns will be developed into full papers for this symposium. Based on the insights of Christopher Alexander and his colleagues, a "pattern" is a careful description of a solution or suggestion for remedying an identified problem in a given context that can be used to help develop and harness communication and information technology in ways that affirm human values. The information contained in patterns is similar to that in traditional abstracts or papers, but it is arranged in a common structure in order to inspire scholars and practitioners to think about their work in terms of social implications and actual social engagement and to build networks that include research, practice, and advocacy. The most important outcome may be allowing people to see their patterns in a large yet coherent network of patterns, a "pattern language." + Patterns are SOLUTIONS to PROBLEMS in a given CONTEXT + Patterns can be observable actions, empirical findings, hypotheses, theories, or "best practices" + Patterns exist at all levels; they can be "global" as well as "local;" theoretical as well as practical. + Patterns are the springboard for discussion, research, and activism Patterns can be submitted for consideration for presentation at the symposium and/or published on the web site as a contribution to the evolving pattern language. (The submitted patterns will be made public in early 2002.) Patterns accepted for presentation will be developed into full papers and will appear in the Conference Proceedings. The best papers will be selected for an edited book. A pattern language book / web site is also planned. We believe that the "pattern" orientation will be useful and inspiring for all participants. If you're tempted to submit a pattern (or multiple patterns!) we encourage you to do so. Although this approach may require slightly different thinking we believe that it will be worth the extra effort. Remember: you can submit patterns whether or not you come to the symposium. Complete details on pattern submission, including example patterns, are available at the web site: http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02/. The preferred way to submit patterns is through the pattern intake site (http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/diac02/pattern.cgi). If you cannot access the site, please send your pattern(s) as email text (no attachments) to docrod99@hotmail.com. If you lack email access, you may submit your pattern(s) via surface mail to be received by December 1, 2001 to: Rod Carveth, School of Mass Communications, Texas Tech University, P.O. Box 43082, Lubbock, TX 79409, USA. Please see the patterns page for more explanation about patterns (including examples) and the author's advice page to assist potential contributors.

A host of new initiatives ranging from new legislation (Bill C-36) to the introduction of new technologies (ID cards for immigrants, CCTV surveillance of public spaces, biometrics) are currently developed and implemented. These measures aim at gathering more and better data on individuals, integrating this data into comprehensive profiles and make it easier for law enforcement agencies to act upon the gathered intelligence. In this talk, David Lyon will present a crictical perspective on "surveillance society" raising the question if it still can be a "just society." Bio: David Lyon is a Professor at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. David Lyon's research, writing, and teaching interests revolve around major social transformations in the modern world. Questions of the information society, globalization, secularization, surveillance, and postmodernity all feature prominently in his work. His books include The Electronic Eye The Rise of Surveillance Society, Polity / Blackwell 1994, Surveillance Society Monitoring Everyday Life, Open University Press 2001, and a projected third volume on negotiating, resisting, and limiting surveillance. With Elia Zureik, David Lyon co-edited Computers, Surveillance, and Privacy, Minnesota, 1996. Surveillance as Social Sorting, edited by Lyon, will be published by Routledge in 2002. In a related area Lyon is currently writing a book on the sociology of cyberspace.

La manifestation révèle aussi la force des processus de contamination et la manière dont ils peuvent être imités par l'homme dans une intention positive, afin que tout visiteur devienne un électron libre et participe à une ¦uvre à son tour de contamination et d¹envies bénéfique. http://www.artekno.com Depuis sa création, Artekno contribue à travers des expositions et l¹organisation d¹évènements divers, au développement et à la promotion des arts technologiques (musiques électroniques, graphisme, installations vidéo, multimédiasŠ). Ces actions ont pour but de créer des synergies entre les artistes, les chercheurs et le public autours des trois thèmes : Arts, Recherches et Technologies. Après une première version organisée dans le cadre des Rendez-Vous Electroniques 2000, le festival Virus 2001 gagne son autonomie et prend de l¹ampleur. Plus de Trente lieux , à Paris allant des galeries traditionnelles aux bars alternatifs, seront "contaminés" par une soixantaine d¹artistes. Chacun de ces artistes (musiciens, graphistes, vidéastesŠ) ont eu la totale liberté de décliner leurs visions personnelles sur la notion ambiguë de virus. De la communication (marketing viral) à l¹informatique en passant par la médecine chaque artiste nous enrichit de son point de vue personnel et pertinent du virus. L¹art technologique (introduit par la musique électronique) et l¹esprit de fête sont indissociables. Une grande soirée aura lieu le 3 novembre pour ouvrir le premier festival artistique viral. Chaque soir jusqu'à la clôture, seront organisés soit des performances, des lives de musiques électroniques ou des spectacles vivants dans tout le réseau Virus 2001. Parce que les arts technologiques sont soumis aux lois de l¹hybridation, de l¹échange, de la transmission, de la contamination, l¹idée centrale du festival Virus 2001 est de générer une appropriation par tous les publics du mouvement artistique virus. Le festival se donne les moyens de provoquer l¹inattendu. Tous les publics seront à même d¹être interpellés par le virus artistique incontrôlable et multiculturel, générateur d¹un dialogue positif et constructif. Virus 2001 : 1er Festival artistique de communication virale Virus, c¹est l¹originalité d¹une pensée que n¹asservit aucun conformisme.

The forum is also happy to accommodate discussions of contemporary film issues and ideas, but is not intended for filmmakers or actors or screenwriters who are looking for work or funding or courses or equipment or help. For such practical matters try the shootingpeople.org email digests. In this sense London-Cinephiles is primarily for those on the receiving-end of cinema culture. London-Cinephiles is for those London filmgoers who love the moving sound image. The forum is there to enable critics, lecturers, filmmakers, and organisations to advertise their talks and showings and meetings, especially the relatively new area of the gallery art-film show, and those lo-no-budget experimental, underground, and independent events. London can be a great capital of the moving-image, with some dedicated organisations: Exploding Cinema, Shooting People, OMSK, Secret Cinema, Halloween Society, Raindance, the BFI, Global Cafe, NFT, Curzon Soho, ICA, Genesis Cinema, Peeping Toms, Ritzy, etc. (but Londoners can travel, so by all means post details of other UK events). With the recent trouble at the Lux perhaps now is a good time to set up a email forum dedicated to the London community of cinephiles. London is also a growing centre for the study of film theory and culture -- new degrees in cinema studies are available at universities such as Thames Valley, East London, Kings College, UCL, and Birkbeck. There are also many interesting public lectures and talks that go unreported, so London-Cinephiles is particularly hoping to help advertise, and perhaps encourage, intellectual debate about cinema in London. London-Cinephiles is brought to you by Film-Philosophy (http://www.film-philosophy.com). :::::::::::: So, if you want to know what's cinematically happening in London, simply send the message: join london-cinephiles YOURNAME or join london-cinephiles YOURNAME with digest to: jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk (In the digest version you will receive forum posts in a single email, sent about once a day.)

Palais Attems, Thursday, 8. 11.01 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Infoscapes – New Spaces – New Strategies for Communicating Architecture presents in 4 panels 26 items and projects by architects, artists, designers and curators, who have addressed the opportunities for the mediation of architecture and urbanism offered by the new media. In this context, mediation is always seen from the point of view of interaction. The projects were chosen considering which architectural and artistic means and strategies had been applied in the approach to the possibilities offered by the new media with a view to adding a new dimension to the experience of both architecture and the urban landscape framed by it. A new dimension not achievable by conventional means of documentation and representation.

Spheres is a plurilogue, collaborative production space for and about various public spheres. For the first series of works four artists/groups of artists were invited.
