Hybrid Discourse is a series of events investigating current cultural
debates in the context of digital media. Focusing on key issues such as
relations between art and industry, emerging cultural, commercial and hybri=
d
practices as well as new models of institutional practices this program
seeks to re-address critical terms of Adorno and Horkheimer's original
concept of the culture industry in the current context.
Josephine Bosma will be examining how the developments in net art provoke a
new perspective on not only art itself but also on its context, most
specifically art criticism. Incorporating media theory and media criticism
with art criticisim, she will examine ways to contextualize, exhibit and
value art in a networked society.
Volker Grassmuck's lecture will consider how the the architecture and
ethos of the internet is being changed by the Content or more precisely
the Rights Industry -- today's designation for the Culture Industry. It is
not neccesarily a problem that the Bertelsmanns and Beate Uhses are coming
online but how it effects the non- and decidedly anti-capitalist cultures
like the free software movement is a concern.

Subject: Media in Transition 2: globalization and convergence
http://cms.mit.edu/conf/mit2/index.html
Media in Transition 2: globalization and convergence
May 10-12, 2002 at MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
MiT2 conference organizing committee: Henry Jenkins, Shigeru
Miyagawa, David Thorburn, William Uricchio, Ingrid Volkmer and Jing
Wang.
Terms such as "globalization" and "convergence" increasingly dominate
discussions of our media environment, yet their meanings remain vague
and context specific. Many factors make it difficult to make broad
statements about these trends: the uneven flow of cultural products
across national borders; the still nascent nature of the new media
environment; unpredictable patterns of use and meaning among media
consumers; diverse national histories of cultural exchange or isolation;
and an unstable business climate which alternately encourages and
discourages innovation and entrepreneurship.
Many core issues remain to be explored: Will globalization reduce or
expand the world's cultural diversity? Will new technologies empower
international media makers to enter the American marketplace or leave
them more exposed than ever before to U.S. cultural exports? How do we
reconcile the competing forces of media convergence and media
fragmentation that are shaping the current communications
infrastructure? What patterns can we discern among convergent content
and audiences across media forms and international borders? What are
the implications of media convergence not only at the corporate level, but
also at the grassroots level where users are in control of content, context,
and flow?
In 1999, MIT hosted the first Media in Transition conference, bringing
together an international array of scholars from many different disciplines
to examine the process and consequences of media change. In 2002, we
invite you back to MIT for the second Media in Transition conference. As in
the first conference, we encourage reflection across disciplinary
boundaries, and among theorists and practitioners-a citizenly discourse
makes core ideas accessible to a broad public.
This second conference will focus on North American, European and
Asian experiences, and will provide a platform for a historically and
culturally comparative analysis of our media past, present and future. As
in the first Media in Transition conference, presentations and multi-media
demonstrations will be framed by plenary "conversations" in which
distinguished panelists will speak briefly and then participate in extended
dialogue with the audience.
Themes include:
· Changing peri pheries and centers;
· World music-world media;
· News and information in the digital age;
· The Internet, policy and popular culture;
· Transnational political activism;
· Cultural disorder: regional censorship and transnational media;
· Unofficial cultures and cultures of resistance;
· Cultural authority/autonomy/markets;
· Historical precedents/precursors;
· Global media flows, local media meanings;
· Intellectual property: constructions, enforcements, implications;
· Cyber citizenry and the global public sphere;
· Digital culture: language and infrastructure;
· Convergence and fragmentation;
· Public service vs. the marketplace: traditions, histories and futures;
· Building a global base for local media production;
· Global fusion and cultural hybridity;
· "The Third Culture"-identity in an age of dislocation;
· The globalization of the media audience: re-examining "the global
village";
· The transformation of television;
· Narrative forms and cultural change.

Subject: METAPET _ LAUNCH _ 5.15.02
***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTINGS ***
METAPET LAUNCH
The Los Angeles public unveiling of Metapet, and launch party for the
world's first transgenic virtual pet game, @ the Museum of Contemporary
Art's PDC Gallery on Wednesday, May 15 from 6:00 PM until
9:00 PM.
What/Who: Metapet is a project by Natalie Bookchin with Jin Lee,
Cathy Davies and Mark Allen of Action Tank (www.action-tank.org)
presented by Creative Time (www. creativetime.org) in association
with Hamaca (www.hamaca.org).
Metapet also features minigames by guest artists including:
Plagiarist, a.k.a. Amy Alexander, Davis & Davis, Carmin Karasic,
Jeff Knowlton, Anne-Marie Schleiner, Naomi Spellman, Karl Mihail
and Tran, T. Kim-Trang of the Gene Genies, and Paul Vanouse.
The LA Metapet Launch is organized by artist/professor Christiane
Robbins, AIM Executive Producer, sponsored by AIM III: Luna Park,
CalArts, located at MOCA, produced by Lisa Lee and Action
Tank, with technical assistance by USC's Matrix Program for
Digital Media.
Please go to http://www.metapet.net for in-depth info on this
project (also see links to press clips below)
=====================================================================
Background: Natalie Bookchin and her collective Action Tank
(www.action-tank.org) were commissioned by Creative Time
(www.creativetime.org) to create on on-line game as part of
DNAid, Creative Time's ongoing series of commissions addressing
themes and issues related to genetics. The art project was
produced in association with Hamaca (www.hamaca.org) .
=====================================================================
The Game: http://metapet.net
Are you ready to manage the worker of the future? Biotech
innovation meets corporate creativity and gives birth to a new
class of virtual pet: the Metapet. - Your challenge: discover the
right balance between a firm hand and a gentle coax without ever
losing sight of the bottom line. But here's a word of advice:
treat your Metapet with care. Heedless actions may come back to
haunt you when you least expect it!
Metapet, the world's first transgenic virtual pet game is a
strategy game set in a biotechnology company sometime in the near
future. The premise of the game is very simple: players choose
the company they want to be executives of and have to choose a
Metapet. These Matapets are a generation of humans that have been
genetically modified along the lines of the Nexus 6 in Blade
Runner. In this case, the genetic determinant consists of an
obedience gene from a trained dog, which has been designed to
create a new class of worker that is much more loyal and
productive then its precursor.
In Metapet, Action Tank playfully takes on three cultural
behemoths: the biotechnology industry, the electronic gaming
industry and corporate culture at large. Creative Time's launch
of Metapet marks a new phase in the evolution of artist-made
games and stakes out new territory for independent, creative
practitioners.
=====================================================================
About the Producers of this Project:
Creative Time (www.creativetime.org) Creative Time, a
not-for-profit arts presenter, fosters artistic experimentation
in the public realm.
The organization commissions and presents adventurous art in the
public realm that challenges notions of what art is and can be.
Our work is site responsive and temporary; it encourages artists
to try something new; it considers the public in its realization;
it works in a diversity of sites; and, it supports artists in
approaching the public realm as a laboratory for experimentation.
For nearly 30 years, New York-based Creative Time, has
commissioned and presented adventurous public arts projects of
all disciplines. From the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, Grand
Central Terminal, and Times Square to milk cartons, the Internet,
and billboards, Creative Time has supported artists in
invigorating our urban landscape.
Hamaca (www.hamaca.org) HAMACA, a new net art platform from
Barcelona made up of a number of the cities art institutions
(MACBA - the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Tapias Foundation,
The Miro Foundation, Hangar, Museum of Contemporary art, Leida,
Metronom. specializing in production, dissemination and debate
around net.art.
AIM III: Luna Park, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art,
Los Angeles, and the USC School of Fine Art, is presenting a series of
critical inquiries into digital art practice and culture, the trajectories
of the idioms of "informatization" "globalization", and our fascination
with the spectacular. It comprises a lecture series and symposium,
international invitational and open-entry online exhibitions, and related
events offering incisive responses to contemporary notions of the cultural
narratives and legacies of the world's first modern amusement park in
relationship to the advances of digital technologies.
AIM, itself, was conceived in response to the outpouring of diverse
projects from cultural practitioners of all kinds, as they explored the
potential of an avalanche of new communications and digital technologies.
The significance of these technologies to the determination of our global
future, coupled with the overwhelming number, and increasingly hybridizing
nature of the explorations, demanded the development of a supportive
infrastructure - ranging from physical spaces in which to create and
exhibit, to public education programs, to forums for maintaining
alternative discourse in an increasingly homogenous global community.
Building on the success of its first two years AIM's continuing intent is
to contribute to the development of such an infrastructure by encouraging
innovative projects from different media bases, placing them together
within a specific theoretical frame, and facilitating the critical dialogue
necessary to sustain the development of such a dynamic emerging field of
cultural practice.

For the past five years C.A.L.F., the Coalition of Artists and Life Forms,
has led a dialog between the art world, the public and the biotechnology
industry through a series of screenings, symposiums, pranks and informal
conversations that sought to educate the art community on issues of
bio-tech. These discussions and investigations have lead to a substantial
body of work that both reflect an in informed and enlightened vision of
artists concerned with the most important issues of the day.

Kollaboration" drawing series envisions feline babies in various satirical
jeopardy and now include several unauthorized portraits of CC, the world's
first cloned cat. Chicory Miles' epic fountainary piece "Eternal
Generation" addresses in ambitious scale the objectification of progeny,
David Lawrence lovingly dwells on pet fetishism in his digital print work,
while Malka Lehmann's paintings call into question the public fight
between mortality and vanity. The show will also showcase the fleshy and
minimalist sculptures of Linda Ford that pay homage to biological chaos as
well as the storyboards of Amy Hicks' internationally screened video
"Hatching Beauty" and Gabrielle Thormann's canvases pictorializing cell
division.

Presents
John S. Quarterman
Founder, CTO
Matrix NetSystems, Inc.
Network Monoculture:
Diversity, Survivability, and the
Profitablity of Internet Commerce
Tuesday, June 4th, 2002
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
Monoculture is harmful for ecosystems or markets. This talk will
illustrate performance effects on the Internet caused by natural
(hurricane, earthquake) and unnatural (routing flap, cable cut,
building damage) disasters. Measuring performance of the Internet can
enable price differentiation, asset and liability management, and
speed Internet evolution by providing it a business model.
John S. Quarterman wrote The Matrix, a comprehensive book on the
history, technology, and people of computer networks worldwide, as
well as six other books. He is a founder and Chief Technology Officer
of Matrix NetSystems, which is the most experienced Internet analyst,
established as Matrix Information and Directory Services (MIDS) in
1990, and since 1998 an Internet startup with Internet performance
products. Quarterman published the first maps of the whole Internet;
conducted the first Internet Demographic Survey; and started the
first continuing series of performance data about the entire Internet
in 1993, on the web since 1995 in the Internet Weather Report, and
also visible as average.matrixnetsystems.com, plus comparisons of
ISPs visible as ratings.matrixnetsystems.com.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held
on Tuesday, June 4th, 2002, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of
the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. Luncheon seats are
$49.00. The Harvard Club has relaxed its dress code, which is now
"business casual", meaning no sneakers or jeans. Fair warning: since
we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund
the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of what's
left of its dress code. In addition, since the "dot-bomb", the
suit-probability in the main dining room has been asymptotically
approaching unity, and we should probably dress accordingly. :-).
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we know
you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by
Saturday, June 1st, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks
payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will be
returned.
Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The
Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $49.00. Please include your
e-mail address so that we can send you a confirmation
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements
(we've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for
instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can
work something out.
Upcoming speakers for DCSB are:
August 6 Donald Eastlake XML Security
As you can see, we are actively searching for future speakers. If you
are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, are a principal in
digital commerce, and would like to make a presentation to the
Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Committee, care of
Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah@shipwright.com>, and we'll send you a
call for speakers.

"Macros-center" was founded in autumn of the year 2001 in Moscow under State Center for Museums and Exhibitions "ROSIZO". It is an initiative intended to react to interesting and nontraditional phenomena in the sphere of media-art, in the area of intersection of arts, culture and new technologies. "Macros-center" is focused on art adequate to information society and new world order, on artistic and theoretic interpretation of the new reality. The activity of Media-art-center is directed toward creating the field of the working ideas on actual media-art, toward stimulating interest in new artistic strategies and projects, toward organizing space capable of supporting and initiating different artistic and critical media-activities.
