EXTREME COMPUTING
The NTK/Mute Festival Of Inappropriate Technology
11am-7pm, Sunday June 9th 2002
The Camden Centre, London (opposite Kings Cross station)
http://www.xcom2002.com/
THE FESTIVAL SEASON is here, but what does it offer to all those
whose idea of a good time is sitting indoors hunched over a PC with
the curtains drawn or plotting the overthrow of the gallery-system
from a pub in Shoreditch? Well, now there's EXTREME COMPUTING 2002,
an electronic village fete for the 21st century, an off-the-radar
alt.jumble-sale, an all-day celebration of do-it-yourself
technological and cultural unusualness.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that hackers and activists don't
mix and techies and artists come from different planets,
award-winning news site NTK and long-running digital arts magazine
MUTE have put aside their differences to bring pioneers of the UK's
outside-the-mainstream techno-cultural world together under one roof.
The roof in question is that of THE CAMDEN CENTRE, positioned almost
unhealthily close to Kings Cross railway station. Come SUNDAY JUNE
9TH, it will be packed to its maximum 900-person capacity with stalls
selling everything from home-made robots to Japanese junk food,
fanzines to tea-towel manifestos, and aerials to astro-bonsai. Free
software enthusiasts and misfortune-tellers will vie for your
attention to create a general air of well-intentioned chaos.
Areas which the event will cover (but not be restricted to) include:
community wireless networking - free software - screenings -
independent media centres - PC recycling - no borders activism -
retro video gaming - renewable energy - mp3 remixing - critical art -
robots - weird science - weblogging - new distribution models
(not all of which are necessarily "inappropriate" technologies, we
should emphasise - unless you happen to be Bill Gates or a regional
sales manager for Dixons).
Further updates and illustrations are available on the official website:

information, interviews, or potentially inflammatory comments on a
wide range of subjects.

NEED TO KNOW (http://www.ntk.net/) is the UK's longest running

Thundergulch Dialogues
Database Cultures
Thursday, May 23rd, 7:00 PM, 2002 --- FREE
New York University, Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Film Center, Room 102, 36 East Eight Street between University Place and Greene Street
Directions: Take N/R to 8th Street or the A/C/E/F to West 4th Street
Featuring:
JENNIFER and KEVIN MCCOY, New Media Artists
W. BRADFORD PALEY, Interface Designer/Artist, Founder of Digital Image Design
JÉRÔME SIMÉON, Computer Scientist, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies
MARK TRIBE, Artist, Curator, Founder and Director of Rhizome.org
WAYNE ASHLEY, Moderator, Guest Curator, Thundergulch
THUNDERGULCH, the new media initiative of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, is pleased to present "Database Cultures." At the turn of the century, the computer database has become the dominant storage system, enabling a variety of networked individuals to organize, search, retrieve, and display information about everything from chat-room gossip to the outbreak of diseases in the country's hospitals. Organized by guest curator, Wayne Ashley, five panelists discuss the challenges of using a database as the generative engine behind their art work, creating alternative systems that reveal the poetic, critical, and community-building possibilities of manipulating and reconstituting data. Speakers include Kevin and Jennifer McCoy, Mark Tribe, Brad Paley, and Jérôme Siméon.
_______________
S P E A K E R S:
JENNIFER AND KEVIN MCCOY are new media artists. Their work plays upon the capacity of new technology to fragment, store, and analyze audio and video material. Resulting projects include installations, performances, and net art that explore ideas of genre, interactivity, and automation. Their work has been exhibited internationally. In New York they have shown at P.S.1, Postmasters Gallery, The New Museum, and The Swiss Institute.
W. BRADFORD PALEY is an artist and interaction designer whose goal in both worlds is the visual interpretation of complex hidden phenomena. He did his first photography in 1968, his first computer imagery in 1973, and founded Digital Image Design Incorporated in 1982. He has shown at the Museum of Modern Art, and his designs are at work every day in the hands of brokers on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. He speaks frequently on the subject of interaction design and pursues projects where design inspires art and art informs the design.
MARK TRIBE is an artist and curator whose interests lie at the intersection of emerging technologies and contemporary art. He is the founder and executive director of Rhizome.org, an online platform for the international new media art community. His latest art project, Revelation 1.0 (commissioned by Amnesty International), looks at the aesthetic armature of the Amnesty USA web site by stripping away its text and graphics, leaving only blocks of color and photographic images.
JÉRÔME SIMÉON is a researcher at Bell Labs, a division of Lucent Technologies. He is a member of the Network Data and Services Research Department. His research interests revolve structuring, storing, and exchanging information over the Internet, XML, the Semantic Web, and data integration.

Press Release:
EXTREME COMPUTING
The NTK/Mute Festival Of Inappropriate Technology
11am-7pm, Sunday June 9th 2002
The Camden Centre, London (opposite Kings Cross station)
http://www.xcom2002.com/
THE FESTIVAL SEASON is here, but what does it offer to all those whose idea
of a good time is sitting indoors hunched over a PC with the curtains drawn
or plotting the overthrow of the gallery-system from a pub in Shoreditch?
Well, now there's EXTREME COMPUTING 2002, an electronic village fete for
the 21st century, an off-the-radar alt.jumble-sale, an all-day celebration
of do-it-yourself technological and cultural unusualness.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that hackers and activists don't mix
and techies and artists come from different planets, award-winning news
site NTK and long-running digital arts magazine MUTE have put aside their
differences to bring pioneers of the UK's outside-the-mainstream

The roof in question is that of THE CAMDEN CENTRE, positioned almost
unhealthily close to Kings Cross railway station. Come SUNDAY JUNE 9TH, it
will be packed to its maximum 900-person capacity with stalls selling
everything from home-made robots to Japanese junk food, fanzines to

Subject: live art: Use of new Media Technologies in Performance
Workshop Live Art
Using new technologies in performance
26 - 31 August
<<...>>
Amsterdam- Maastricht Summer University in collaboration with
Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo / Time Based Arts
<<...>>
In this media saturated world, contemporary art practice is constantly
expanding the use of technology. The workshop examines the historical and
technological developments in performance arts. The course will be a
creative and practical collaboration between performing and media artists,
and will be contextualised by critical discussions of contemporary practice;
video art as fine art practice, digital art & performance, interactive
performance and time-based media.
The thrust of the workshop is to make a short piece of work, giving
participants hands on experience with digital video and computer equipment,
within the context of their creative requirements. Non-linear editing will
form a central part of the workshop.
The British artists group Blast Theory will help attendants to gain new
access to history and technology which will allow them to move away from
fixed images and media. In the evenings a special program is developed to
further explore the immersion of different media in performance.
Blast Theory is a group of four artists based in London who make live events
for theatres, clubs, galleries and the street. The groups work confronts a
media saturated world in which popular culture rules. It uses video and
computers to ask questions about the ideologies present in the information
that envelops us. Founded on a belief in collective work and an openness
about creativity Blast Theory collaborates with a wide range of creative
people: from DJs to dancers, from CDROM designers to pop promo directors.
http://www.blasttheory.co.uk
Participant Profile
The workshop is designed for performing arts practitioners, video artists,
media artists and (postgraduate)students who wish to expand and complement
their own practice via hands-on experience in collaborative work.

at Kaaitheaterstudios, Brussels, Belgium
02-201.59.59 O-L-V van Vaakstraat 81 rue N-D-du Sommeil
An evening of somatic language. An evening where
communication will consist of words falling back inside the mouth.
The metaphoric exploration of the stutter enables a consideration
of language in its full materiality; all signs and sounds emitted will
have a body attached. This event gathers the coeditors and some
contributors of the recently published Writing Aloud: The Sonics of
Language (Los Angeles: Errant Bodies Press, 2001) as well as
additional guests. The lineup combines performance artists,
historians, theorists, sound artists, writers, video artists. The
evening is being planned as a series of overlapping and
interlocking installation/ performances which will invest a number
of spaces at the kaaistudios. This will create a conversation in the
form of a dialogue of monologues, and will stage an interaction of
the three terms, 'stutter' 'mouth' 'face', as a choreographed series
of attempts.

Kim Dawn (Vancouver) "Forced Being Forced" (2001), video, 8:58
In this video her tired laugh persists. This laughter becoming
more and more tired, forced, sinister, sarcastic, less laughter and
more a tight movement of the jaw to represent laughter, a forceful
pressure on the face to laugh even though she may want to spit or
sleep. Is this laugh "hers"? Loosing and gaining control over her
body, feeling/being watched. Kim Dawn is playing with questions
of who owns her body, of bodily control and self-control and
fighting for ownership even as a young child when all forces seem
against her. She finds meaning and meaningless in repetitious
gestures, in forced laughing, breathing-inhaling-exhaling, staring
long and still relentlessly into the camera, at once pleadingly +

Anatomies is a series of articulations by a body that desires the
poetic, but that has found language to decay inside.

Christof Migone (New York/Montreal)) "Poker" (2001), video, 14:27
to face -face as a verb, a facing in touch, in sound... ocular
proximity, closeupsoclose, playing the face, testing the haptic...
loudyourface, loudface... noise facials... fissures in the
relation-no longer face to face, but somewhere in between being
caressed and prodded... poker face-no longer site of expression
but site of being expressed... poker, wrinkler, scratcher, prickler,
tickler... to hear the face (to make the face), wrinkle the face in
sound... touching the loud gaze... scratch, slide, prick, tickle, rub...
rhythm the face, loudlooks, noisylooks... louding the face...
Pokers explores the relation between, and specifically the import
of the face in framing relationships. The relation is performed at a
number of levels here, the performer's hands activate the taciturn
faces, they explore and sound them; the surface of the face is
inscribed with the depth of the relation between the two involved in
the performance-a depth measured by awkwardness. The
viewer, in turn, is faced by this configured yet disfigured, alienated
yet intimate exchange.
Pokers begins with idle faces. Then the hands appear and sound
them. At the end the faces return to idle.

Vito Acconci (New York) "Waterways: Four Saliva Studies" (1971),
video, 22:57
"Waterways" comprises four minimalist exercises in which
Acconci explores the formal, visual and dynamic properties of a
body fluid in a controlled performance situation. Using extreme
close-ups and amplified sound to force the viewer into the space
of his body, he experiments with his mouth as a container for
saliva, holding it in as long as possible, trying to catch it in his
hands. By using a bodily fluid as art-making material, Acconci
pushes the anti-aesthetic of body art to its radical extreme.
undo (Christof Migone and Alexandre St. Onge)(New
York/Montreal) "Vito Acconci's Undoing" (2001), video, 21:43
"Vito Acconci's Undoing" is based on and inspired by Acconci's
Waterways: 4 Saliva Studies. As a duo, undo often focusses on
the mouth (but rarely the voice) as site of sound emission, hence
undo's interest in this particular Acconci piece. The piece is
divided in two parts, the first features a spit bottle. An audio CD
with both the Acconci piece and the remix has been published by
the diminutive label, squint fucker press.

3rd FLOOR
Brandon LaBelle (Los Angeles/London) "Speaking in Tongues" (2000),
video/audio
To perform speaking as a physical and sonic gesture, the work consists
of the action of trying to read aloud while holding a cow's tongue in my
mouth--as a way to complicate the gesture of speech to reveal its grain;
yet ultimately emphasizing the schism that ruptures this process--the
tension inherent to "speaking as a body (sensuality)" and "speaking as
an individual (social behavior)".

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Robots put on Talent Show - ArtBots First of a Kind
NEW YORK CITY, NY - May 16, 2002 (artbots.org)- Battlebots, stand at
ease - a kinder, gentler, more creative robot has arrived. In fact a
number of "ArtBots" are getting together in New York City, and with a
little help from their human friends, they've decided to put on a
show.
The first annual ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show will take place from
noon to 6:00 p.m. at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn on Saturday, May
25th. A hybrid combining aspects of both a juried art exhibition and
a traditional talent show, more than a dozen artists, engineers and
tinkerers will contribute to this high-tech, high-concept, high-fun
one-day event.
Unlike the destructive and dimwitted radio-controlled cars on
steroids made popular by TV shows like Battlebots and Robotwars,
ArtBots are creative, autonomous robots more interested in making art
than wreaking havoc. Some Artbots are musicians; but don't mention
the word "musicbox," lest they take offense! Each musical ArtBot has
its own style and technique for making music. Other ArtBots are
visual artists and will demonstrate their drawing and painting
prowess for the crowd. Then there are the ArtBots whose talents are a
bit harder to nail down; you might call them cybernetic performance
artists!
Curator Douglas Irving Repetto notes "The reach of robotics is
expanding rapidly, not only in traditional domains like manufacturing
but also in fields like sports, medicine, and the arts. Being artists
who often work with technology, we wanted to find a way to highlight
some of the terrific work that's being done in the world of robotic
art. Robots have developed a popular reputation as a highly
competitive and often aggressive bunch; our proposal is that robots
are what you make of them. And we'd prefer our robots to make art."
Co-Curator Philip Galanter adds "We want this to be fun for the whole
family. But this is also serious fun. ArtBots represents the emerging
intersection of computer technology, sculpture, mechanical
engineering, and generative art. ArtBots is a robot talent show, but
for the time being it requires humans who can cross boundaries to
make it happen."
ArtBots includes among its sponsors the Columbia University Computer
Music Center, the New York University Arts Technology Group, the
Pratt Institute Industrial Design Program, the Madagascar Institute,
and the Robotics Society of America.

Out of this world 2
Kongress zu Science-Fiction, Politik, Utopie
Bremen, 31.05.-02.06.2002
Hinterher wissen es alle. Konnte ja so nicht weitergehen, war überfällig,
schon seit langem nur mühsam aufrechterhalten, eine zäh verteidigte Zumutung
usw. Vorher gehört es dagegen zu den bestgehüteten Geheimnissen der
herrschenden Verhältnisse: Dass die gegenwärtige Welt nur eine von vielen
möglichen Welten ist; dass sie sich ganz schön anstrengen muss als die
einzige und alternativlose dazustehen; dass sie dies mit Gewalt,
ideologischen Apparaten und auf unsere Kosten tut.
Aber wie sehen sie aus, die möglichen Welten? Wie kommt man dahin? Welche
sind besser? Um welche sollte man lieber einen Bogen fliegen? Kann man das
Gras schon wachsen hören? Oder muss das Alte noch viel greiser werden, bevor
das Neue Platz hat? Und wie erkennt man es überhaupt? Wo gerade der alte
Mist sich so gerne als der neueste Schrei tarnt?
Science-Fiction, Politik, Utopie: Verschiedene Methoden, darauf Antwort zu
geben. Verschiedene Produktionsweisen des Neuen. Out of this world: Ein
Streifzug durch die Randbereiche. Die Überlappungszonen. Ein Versuch,
verschiedene Galaxien miteinander telefonieren zu lassen.
"Welcome to Utopia. This site is under construction."
You must obey the rules / you must be tame and cool
no staring at the clouds / you must stay on the ground
There must be something else / there must be something good / far away
far away from here / far away / nothing here's for good.
(Soundgarden, Boot Camp)
