> The internet has become the the leading economic and artistic tool for our age. Words like emergence are used to explain the propulsion of these medias into our daily lives.

Consume is a nationwide initiative to construct user owned and operated, free networks utilising wireless broadband technology that trip the local loop out of the hands of the telecom monopoly and into open space.

XXERO - http://www.xxero.net
Xxero est à la fois un environnement collaboratif de type MOO, et une
plate-forme pour des rencontres et des événements live.
Elaboré par un réseau international de femmes associées à la liste de
discussion Faces - http://www.faces-l.net, ce projet initialement pensé
comme un outil de présentation et de communication pour participer à Ars
Electronika, continue maintenant un développement en parallèle de Faces.
Les contenus de Xxero sont axés sur les nouvelles technologies, le
cyber-féminisme, le langage puisqu'il s'agit d'un environnement utilisant
uniquement du texte.
Les membres de Faces ont, dans le choix d'un nom pour le MOO Xxero - "la
chose flottante" dans l'attente d'un nom - fait appel à une multitude
d'images auxquelles une identification était possible, des formes
organiques aux références digitales à la science fiction.
Cette discussion a reflété, et activé la question de ce que pourrait être
le féminisme aujourd'hui et l'identité en général, une question explorée
pendant la dernière décennie en conjonction avec les théories queer et
souvent dans un rejet des catégories dichotomiques masculin/féminin.
Les différents aspects de Xxero permettent le log in log out, à cet espace,
dans l'élaboration d'un discours et sa remise en question, celui d'un
projet, d'un contexte, d'une sphère sociale.
Le MOO et les événements live sont parties intégrantes d'un tout. Xxero est
un espace où s'élaborent des palaces de contenu, se rêvent des mondes et se
construisent en collaboration un village fait de textes, en une dimension,
qui s'ouvre sur un monde virtuel très concret.
Les événements live donnent lieu à des lectures, des workshops, une table
au café, pendant lesquels l'information est partagée et discutée, en privé
et en public. Complémentaires l'un de l'autre, le contenu et le media sont
inextricablement tissés ensembles, partagés et échangés sur la place du
marché là où nous vivons.

Mindjack Call for Contributors
Are you a fledgling visionary? Mindjack is looking for contributors
our online magazine and weblog. We're looking for people who are
touch with the underbelly of digital culture and can anticipate what
others will be writing about next week, next month or next year.
We're not concerned simply with the latest gadgets or internet
applications, but with the broader implications of these and other
technologies on society and culture.
Mindjack is run by the seat of our pants, but we've nonetheless
managed to maintain a vital web presence for over four years with no
money. Contributors are unpaid but gain valuable experience and
exposure as writers. Additionally, Mindjack contributors cover major
conferences and events, and interview the people shaping digital
culture. And sometimes we shape digital culture a little bit
ourselves.
Think you're mindjack material? Write us: editor@mindjack.com.
About Mindjack:
Mindjack went online in early 1998 and has been growing slowly but
steadily ever since. We've assembled a diverse and talented band of
writers, and what is quite possibly the coolest board of advisors
ever: Gareth Branwyn, Mark Frauenfelder, Mikki Halpin, Jon
Lebkowsky, Howard Rheingold and Douglas Rushkoff. Recent topics
covered in Mindjack include Marshall McLuhan, emotional machines,
wearable computers, an interview with Sid Meier and coverage of SXSW
and Toronto's DigiFest.

Full videotape description:
everything and nothing (part 1 from the continuous tape, ‘untitled’)
© Jayce Salloum, 40:40, orig format MiniDV, France/Canada, 2001
English and French subtitled versions available.
An intimate dialogue that weaves back and forth between representations of a
figure (of resistance) and subject with, *Soha Bechara ex-Lebanese National
Resistance fighter in her Paris dorm room taped (during the last year of the
Israeli occupation) one year after her release from captivity in El-Khiam
torture and interrogation centre (S. Lebanon) where she had been detained for
10 years, 6 years in isolation. Revising notions of resistance, survival and
will, recounting to death, separation and closeness; the overexposed image
and body of a surviving martyr speaking quietly and directly into the camera
juxtaposed against her self and image, not speaking of the torture but of the
distance between the subject and the loss, of what is left behind and what
remains.
*Soha Bechara is a heroine in Lebanon, pictures of her are seen in many
houses in the South and posters of her were seen all around downtown Beirut
when I was working there in the early 90’s. She was captured in 1988 for
trying to assassinate the general of the SLA, Antoine Lahad (the South
Lebanese Army was a proxy militia set up & controlled by the Israeli forces
to give a Lebanese façade to the occupation of South Lebanon). I didn't ask
her anything specifically about the torture she underwent or the trauma of
detention, she was being interviewed to death by the European and Arab press
over the details of her captivity and the minutiae of her surviving it and
the conditions in El-Khiam and the detainees and the resistance. I went to
her small dorm room, not much bigger than her cell (she is presently studying
international law at the Sorbonne), she sat on her bed and I asked her about
the distance lived between Khiam and Paris, and Beirut and Paris, and what
she left in Khiam and what she brought with her, a story about flowers and
how she never puts them in water, how it felt for her now to be under such
demand, and who she was, and what the title of the tape should be, and a few
other things. This video material that I recorded of the time spent with her
is not precious, just time and a conversation, and intense intimacy at a
close and unbreachable distance.

This is Not Beirut/ There was and there was not
Jayce Salloum, 49 min., Lebanon/USA/Canada, © 1994
This Is Not Beirut is a personal essay on the popular misrepresentations of
Lebanon and Beirut which documents the filmmaker's own experiences while
working in Lebanon. Aware of its own conceptual baggage, the tape situates
itself between genres in order to better expose commonplace assumptions. The
examination is thus liberated to realize the actual complexities of the
identities of artist and subject. The result is a critical engagement of the
disparities and disjunctions arising on site.

Talaeen a Junuub/Up to the South
Jayce Salloum + Walid Ra’ad, 60 min., Lebanon/USA/Canada, 1993
An oblique, albeit powerful documentary which examines the current
conditions, politics and economics of South Lebanon. The tape focuses on the
social, intellectual and popular resistance to the Israeli occupation, as
well as conceptions of 'the land' and culture, and the imperiled identities
of the Lebanese people. Simultaneously the tape self-consciously engages in
a parallel critique of the documentary genre and its traditions.
