( BW)(MA-MATRIX-NET) John Quarterman Debates the Dangers of Internet
Monoculture; Founder of Matrix NetSystems addresses the Digital Commerce
Society of Boston at the Harvard Club
Business/Technology Editors
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2002--John Quarterman, founder and CTO
of Matrix NetSystems is speaking at the next meeting of the Digital
Commerce Society of Boston, June 4, 2002. His presentation, "Network
Monoculture: Diversity, Survivability, and the Profitability of Internet
Commerce" will look at the effects of natural and unnatural disasters on
Internet performance.
"An economy based on one crop is fragile, because a single disease,
parasite or weather anomaly, could destroy both crop and the economy it
supported. The same goes for monoculture communications providers," said
John Quarterman. "On September 11, the one main telephone company in New
York City suffered under excessive demand. The Internet survived, with
several providers, keeping people in touch by email and IM."
Quarterman describes the Internet as an ecosystem, composed of many
interacting parts, ISPs, datacenters, enterprises, end-users, each of them
drawing sustenance from the others and from raw materials. He explains how
each of them needs to make informed decisions, to create a true market.
"Diversity will enhance corporate, national and world security.
Visibility enables differentiation and thus selection. Making Internet
performance visible to ISPs, bandwidth traders and customers can enable
evolution of the Internet ecology, and will make this market," added
Quarterman.
Matrix NetSystems measures Internet performance, verifies service
levels and customer connectivity, and offers optimization recommendations.
The Insight Management Suite is the first managed service able to quickly
identify and isolate Internet performance problems down to the router IP
address level globally, on a 24x7 basis.
Formed in 1990 (as MIDS) Matrix NetSystems was the first organization
to record Internet performance data, as well as create a daily topology and
ISP ratings (ratings.matrixnetsystems.com) that are cited the world over.
John Quarterman has written seven books related to the Internet,
including `The Matrix', the first and only published work to describe all
computer networks worldwide. He has consulted for Hewlett Packard, Digital
Equipment Corp., MCI, AT&T and IBM.
The event is taking place on Tuesday, June 4 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm at
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston, One Federal Street. Please contact
rah@ibuc.com for tickets.

THIS TIME FOR REAL
a MiDiHy project at Forum Stadtpark, Graz
>> WISSEN WAS EINEM BLUEHT
>> SABOTAGE (A)
>> THU MAY 30, 2002 - 10:15 pm
>> FORUM STADTPARK GRAZ
http://www.sabotage.at
Exclusive Austrian presentation of the project
70,000 CANNABIS PLANTS FOR KASSEL
"70.000 cannabis plants for Kassel" is a project developed by the Austrian
artist Robert Jelinek which comments on current drug policy, particularly
where it concerns cannabis and its possible legalisation. documenta XI
serves the project as a plattform for public discussion. 70.000 cannabis
seeds (agricultural hemp) will be sown in greater Kassel throughout the
hundred days of documenta. Targeted areas include city parks, public flower
beds, traffic islands, and other green areas.
Planting begins on the day of the official documenta opening and continues
for about 14 days. The cannabis plants will reach full maturity in three
months and may then be harvested . The plants are intended for public
consumption. The project was developed in reference to Joseph Beuys' "7.000
Oaks for Kassel", a contribution to documenta VII, 1982, which has become
all the more pertinent as a model for "future installations" situated
within society.
Although policies permitting the legal consumption of cannabis have been
introduced in The Netherlands and Switzerland, countries like Austria,
Great Britain, Sweden and parts of Germany continue to enact more rigorous
drug laws that do not take into account differences between "hard" and
"soft" drugs. As EU statistics indicate, cannabis consumers are
particularly criminalized (European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug
Addiction).
The sculptural work "70.000 cannabis plants for Kassel" perceives itself as
an artistic contribution toward the deconstruction of an internationally
applied "zero tolerance" and of the accompanying crimilalization of
cannabis by the mediapolicy. It takes a further step toward sensible public
dialogue and encouraging greater tolerance.
>>THIS TIME FOR REAL
In "this time for real" MiDiHy once again sets out to explore how media,
art, politics, and everyday cultures intersect and influence each other. At
the points of interface between these discourses there emerges a wide
variety of cultural milieus and subcultures with their own conventions and
rules, who also take recourse to media and politics in their own specific
ways. Contemporary artistic practices are involved in the emergence of such
milieus and subcultures and thus in the processes of constant re-formation
of cultural interconnections.
this time for real presents artists, producers, activists, groups and
initiatives who access media channels from different angles, using them as
a space for production and distribution and thus helping to define that
hybrid environment that would seem to play an increasingly important role
in determining our everyday culture and within whose framework ideas of
art, media and politics are constantly changing.
Two projects will be presented in May 2002, "./logicaland" and "wissen was
einem blüht", that see public spaces as platforms for economic and
political debate in different ways. Both projects can be seen as a kind of
temporary socio-political "sculpture" that transcends the sphere of art and
interferes in everyday cultures.

Subject: Dj Spooky Record release Party - Tribeca Grand Hotel - 5/28/02
Hello All - first and foremost, apologies about the bulk e-mail...

chase pretty solidly...

sponsor, Skyy Vodka (I love those ads!), and basically its a free for
all with some of the more interesting experimentalists in the NYC
downtown zone. You know how it goes... it's another NYC
multi-cultural electronic music event... featuring that wildstlz kind
of stuff that I'm into... we'll be giving away sticker art and other
stuff, and basically, it'll be a fun, free time with a soundtrack
provided by some of the best that NYC down-town avant culture has to
offer... and then some.
the line up for the event is
Karsh Kale (amazing digital tabla player straight out da NYC Asian
Underground Scene... Talvin Singh watch out!!!)
Paul Parreira - who does the Monday experimental digital music nites
at Joe's Pub, he's a veteran of the Green Door Parties from a while
ago... laptop rock anyone?
and a super secret set by downtown avant jam band virutoso Dj Logic...
there'll be some other guest appearances, but hey... I don't want to
give it all away! Basically, you'll see alot of downtown avant
electronic music types... as usual, yeah, there'll be all sorts of
people hangin' permanent wildstyle situation in effect!!!!
Modern Mantra mixes alot of the first material of folks like Moby, Dj
Krush, Cujo a.k.a. Amon Tobin, Russell Mills featuring Bill Laswell
and Sussan Deyhim, Terre Thaemlitz, old skool electro from Prototype
909, and alot of other MULTI-CULTURAL Electronic music and sound art

Der New Yorker Künstler Jordan Crandall hat sich in den letzten Jahren vor
allem durch seine interaktiven und Video-Installationen einen Namen
gemacht, die von Diskursen über Gewalt, Kontrolle und psychologische
Spannung bestimmt sind. Eine dominierende Rolle in Crandalls Arbeit spielen
Militär- und Überwachungstechnologien, die auf ihre kulturelle und
psychologische Wirkung hin untersucht werden. Crandall zeigt exemplarische
Video-Arbeiten und diskutiert seine ästhetischen Strategien im Kontext des
aktuellen, nicht-erklärten globalen Krieges. (siehe auch ausfuehrlicheren
englischen Text, unten)
In Kooperation mit dem Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst, Oldenburg, das bis
zum 9. Juni Crandalls Ausstellung 'Trigger Project' zeigt.

transmediale salon: Jordan Crandall: Trigger
Thursday, 30 May 2002, 20.00
Podewil, Klosterstr.68-70, Berlin-Mitte, Eintritt: EUR 4/5
(in English)
Crandall will present background notes, storyboards, and structural diagrams
for his new project 'Trigger.' He will use these materials as tools for
looking at larger cultural issues, particularly those that are fueled by
technologies of combat and control. Emphasizing the new formats of
representation that arise within contemporary perceptual battlefields,
particularly in the context of the new global 'war on terror,' he will
discuss his aesthetic strategies, positioning them within broader issues of
militarization. As eye, camera, and weapon combine in new morphologies of
battle, Crandall will emphasize the 'status of the seer' and the changing
constitution of the human as it plays out along spectrums of the manned and
unmanned.
In contrast to more purely technological or economic approaches, Crandall
adopts a military lexicon, but his work is couched within this vocabulary
in a creative and manipulative way. It points at the flows between
militarization and the organization of self, tool, and culture, as these
play out in a contemporary landscape of power. It deploys new imaging
technologies and control formats that are writ large in the military, in
order to implicate emerging agencies of seeing, whether in terms of
domestic, individual, or self policing. It moves toward a new literacy of
control systems, one that taps into the psychological, interpersonal, and
symbolic dimensions of "armed" conflict and the underrecognized dynamics of
invasion and defense at the level of individuals. It seeks to understand
how these phenomena are filtered into new logics of representation.

Subject: OWNING CULTURE conference
Please circulate this announcement:
OWNING CULTURE: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
A one-day conference in association with the Theory Culture Society
postgraduate network
Friday 14 June
Goldsmiths College
London UK
Intellectual property (IP), until recently a predominantly legal term, has
taken on a wider social and cultural significance in informational
capitalism. IP has become a crucial terrain on which power relations are
re-negotiated and social forces clash. Digital media, biotechnology, and
global brands are only the more prominent areas where this can be observed.
Increasingly, knowledge, culture, and information are all in important ways
defined by their relationship to IP.
As a consequence, critique can no longer afford to neglect IP. This
conference aims to bring together critical thinkers who have begun to
investigate IP and thus hopes to participate in the opening of a debate that
helps us develop new resources to understand the nature and implications of
IP's growing prominence.
Participants include Anne Barron (LSE) and Angela McRobbie (Goldsmiths) on
culture, Andrew Barry (Goldsmiths) and Tiziana Terranova (Essex) on
technology, and Bob Jessop (Lancaster) and Chris May (University of the West
of England) on the state.
Attendance is free, but please reserve seats in advance. For reservations,

How do you plan phonoTAKTIK.02?
More than a year ago we started to make plans for phonoTAKTIK.02 by
discussing many new issues. Everyone involved was familiar with the
situation surrounding pT.02: Vienna Electronica was ten years old.=20
Nothing
new had happened. In every major European city, electronic music=20
festivals
featured identic programs. Musicians had become mere decorations for
gallery openings, with progressive curators vying for their=20
participation.
Musicians primarily seemed to care about what kind of food they were=20
served
backstage. Female artists had not really made any progress in the
electronic music scene. All those who were not invited to phonoTAKTIK.99
performed in Vienna in the months after the festival. Artists exhibited
ritualistic behavior patterns that increasingly resembled the vain
attitudes of rock stars.
phonoTAKTIK has always stood out for its efforts to explore uncharted
territory and break new ground for artistic expression. It has never=20
tried
to turn musicians into stars, but instead has tracked the development of
the music and its environment.
None of us thought that the festival should turn into a commercial =
event.
All those questioned agreed that phonoTAKTIK was neither conceivable nor
feasible in times like these.
In times like these ... Will Vienna Electronica turn into just another
music hype or is this negative stance a result of the pervasive fear and
aggression engendered by neoliberal politics? And how does this negative
attitude affect the music? What happens when all the successful acts =
have
traveled the world five times? What happens when the door has been =
closed
on new developments? Will we cut red ribbons and found institutions to
explore something we have lost?
And will anybody consider this nostalgia worth supporting? Don't we have
to think about how to use new tools and mechanisms to help us survive=20
this
difficult political and economic situation and media concentration?
The Social Construction of Technology
demands and supports
the development of new positions. Don't just react! Act!
In a small biotope, we will show how a modified, utopian art and music
enterprise could work. Based on the motto "Auf nach Clayton" from =
Kafka's
novel America, phonoTAKTIK invites all musicians to come to Vienna. In=20=
2002
pT will try to use tools in a new way. pT.02 points out that there is=20
more
than one way to develop innovative ideas and solutions.
phonoTAKTIK will start in Vienna on May 28. Musical events will take=20
place
all over the city until June 2. Answers to our questions: maybe in the
future?
Attending phonoTAKTIK.02 we produced a catalogue in cooperation with
the music journal skug (http://www.skug.at), which will be obtainable=20
from May 28.

Before and After the I-Bomb
AN ARTIST IN THE INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT
TOM SHERMAN
ISBN 0-920159-94-X / $29.95 CD $20.90 US / 6.5 x 8.25 /
384 pages / B&W photos / Contemporary Art History
Tom Sherman is an artist who has drawn deeply on his
study of communications, the information economy, and
natural scence. His writing works within and between these
disciplines, postulating new ideas and congruencies,
revealing possible truths for our future. In some cases, his
speculation has become fact.
- Peggy Gale, Preface
Sherman integrates a deeply critical perspective on
modern life with an understanding and sense of hopefulness
that denies cynicism [and] defies ideological
categorization. Read Sherman slowly and re-read. You will
find his to be one of the most original and powerful voices
of a generation.
- David A. Ross
I'm "blanking" on the "i-bomb." I'm "buffeted by the
message storm" in Tom Sherman's poetic semi-fictional
polemic on "the slow burn of telecommunications through the
late 20th century." So, "don't check for my pulse. I just
want to be a dial tone."
- John Oswald, Perpetrator of Plunderphonics
There was a time, not too long ago, when people wrote
letters (and mailed them), picked up the phone and spoke to
people (not voice mail systems), and considered whether to
invest in expensive new "fax" technology as a means of
speeding up communication. Children went outside to play
games that didn't require a console and screen, schools
bought books, and computers filled entire floors of some
offices. In less than twenty years, our homes, schools,
cars, workplaces, and leisure activities have been
revolutionized by the onslaught of technology.
Tom Sherman, part artist, part writer, and part
visionary, got wired early and has spent much of his career
leading the way through the aftershocks of the "I-Bomb" and
its information revolution. Before and After the I-Bomb
collects some of the best of Sherman's thinking and writing
about art, nature, and technology from the last two decades.
His series of personal reflections express both a love for
and struggle with the new technologies and the cultural
changes they have spawned. Most importantly they provide an
instrument for gauging the evolution of a human culture
inextricably bound to Earth's ecosystem, and a tool for
negotiating the future, even if it is currently "obscured by
a dense cloud of scrambled technobabble."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tom Sherman is a media artist, writer, and broadcaster.
He knows the media environment from several perspectives,
having worked in mainstream radio and television, but also
having produced groundbreaking art with video gear,
industrial robots, surveillance systems, and
telecommunications networks. He founded the Media Arts
Section of the Canada Council for the Arts, co-founded Fuse
magazine, and represented Canada at the Venice Biennale.
Sherman performs and records with the group Nerve Theory. He
currently teaches media art history, theory, and practice at
Syracuse University in New York, but considers Nova Scotia's
South Shore his home.
