Subject: MA in Media Design, Piet Zwart Institute
Announcing a new MA in Media Design
Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
The MA in Media Design is a new course offered by the Piet Zwart
Institute. We are the postgraduate centre for art and design of the
Willem de Kooning Academy, Hogeschool Rotterdam.
Systems not surfaces
Too often, media design has simply been the arrangement of pixels and
plug-ins. For us, the computer and the networks are where dynamics
that are aesthetic, social, political, technical, spatial, linguistic,
rythmnic, economic, numerical, meet and shape each other. The role of
the designer is to track, sort and remix these dynamics in relation to
others.
Technology, theory, practice
In a working context where software is doing half the thinking and
doing for you, where is the divide between theory, technology and
practice? This course is commited to a fundamental revaluation of the
division between these terms. We will look for and invent the
technology that is in media philosophy; find the conceptuality of an
operating system; and design in a way that synthesises the power of all
three.
The MA course lasts two years and is carried out as a series of group
and self-initiated projects. In certain cases participation in single
projects may be arranged. Core themes in our programme are:
transmission, use, behaviour, and experience; knowledge and memory; the
political economy of the information society; citizens and consumers,
public and private identities; urban and virtual reality, network and
diaspora.
Find more information at http://pzwart.wdka.hro.nl/
Applications for 2002-2003 are welcome until September 1.
For further information contact Femke Snelting, F.Snelting@hro.nl

Subject: no sweat apparel...a sweatshop alternative
- ------------
Dear friends:
Getting serious about fighting sweatshops must include OFFERING SERIOUS
ALTERNATIVES. Please take a few seconds to look at ours.
http://NoSweatApparel.com
We're trying to gauge the level of support we can expect from the
progressive community for our anti-sweatshop initiative before we begin
production. What we're doing is pretty simple--providing a living wage to
union producers here and in the developing world, a competitive product for
consumers and a reasonable return for investors. We can do all that if we
don't have to advertise. That's the big if. Will the community spread the
word about a for-profit venture? On the plus side, we don't compete with the
existing non-profits for scarce resources and attention!
Thanks for your time,
Jeff Ballinger

comments: fabulous idea have been hoping for something like this for
years
comments: I am an I.B.E.W. union electrician and will be glad to help
spread the word for my follow union members! I think it is grand for someone
to openly express their feelings about organized labor. I will proudly
display the sticker you send on my vehicle. Good luck brothers and sisters!

he'd be involved in something so sensible and bold. - A. Howard
comments: Go for it! Thank you thank you thank you!
comments: God be with you.

know. Cheers, Graham
comments: I want to help in any way possible. I think this is wonderful. I
am a stay home mom with a degree in public relations and education. I can
help in any way please contact me.
comments: Good for you! This will provide an amazing opportunity. We
need more ideas like this. It's a simple idea, but not many have the energy
or passion to go through with it. I have infinite respect for this movement
and really appreciate your steps. Thank you.

URBAN DRIFT 2002 is now online!
http://www.urbandrift.org enjoy the drift
Urban Drift is an independent label and network based in Berlin, which
promotes a trans-cultural urban strategy employing all forms of media and
using the cityscape as both a medium and a sphere of action. Members of
Urban Drift act as tacticians for a contemporary urban praxis, developing
the discourse within Berlin as one of the primary cities of flux.
INFORMATION
Our aim is to communicate architecture and urban design to a wider audience=
,
to extend the boundaries of the architectural discourse, and to maximize th=
e
potential of interdisciplinary practice.
COLLABORATIONS
We aim to encourage and enable unusual collaborations between architects an=
d
other disciplines: art, new media, fashion and product designers=8A Urban
Drift also acts as an agency for the development of new forms of
trans-disciplinary practice.
NEW FORMATS
>From 2002, the capital city cultural fund of Berlin has given Urban Drift
the opportunity to extend its brief beyond the limited framework of a
conference, to encompass a hybrid media space =AD the night-space, which will
combine talks, performances, sound and light installations, and temporary
interventions in the urban sphere. The night space is a mobile, modular
concept, which can dock onto, and plug into existing median and architectur=
e
festivals and provide a temporary space for artists, architects, and
designers to present their proposals and investigations of the cityscape
within a more informal setting.
OPEN WORKSPACES
Drawing upon the Berlin context this year, we will include architecture and
design studios, and those working in multidisciplinary groups throughout th=
e
city, encouraging participation in Urban Drift by way of the open
workspaces. Urban designers can in this way draw upon the themes of this
year=B9s event and make their own contribution to the discourse, or simply
open their spaces for exchange and discussion.

From: Tim McCormick <tim@tjm.org>
Subject: project announcement: OpenContentList
Open Content List (http://www.opencontentlist.com) is a site and
mailing list for news, articles, announcements, and discussion of Open
Content, maintained by Tim McCormick (http://www.tjm.org) in New York.
The focus is on collaborative content projects following Open Content
models (see definition below) and related theory; and related topics of
collaborative content-creation and publishing, alternative systems of
intellectual property & compensation, and emerging online editorial
practices such as weblogging and distributed syndication.
This project grew out of the Open Content Resources page I've been
compiling and maintaining for the last two years (see
http://www.opencontentlist.com/resources). The number of projects and
discussions in this area has grown explosively, and I got the idea of
starting a dedicated site and mailing list simply as a way for me to
keep up with all the developments that seemed to me to have a common
thread.
My goal is to provide a bit of a watering-hole and announcements board
for the large and growing community working on Open Content projects --
from Wikipedia to Creative Commons to public-domain bioinformatics; and
to help disseminate the news and developments to a wider community of
technologists and journalists and readers, via a weblog-style site,
edited mailing list available in weekly digest or undigested form, and
and XML/RSS feed. Notwithstanding the "weblog format", I am especially
interested in receiving material directly from project participants and
individuals, rather than just from other mainstream news sources.
Although anything interesting is fair game, of course.
See http://www.opencontentlist.com and
http://www.opencontentlist.com/about for current stories and more info.
All are invited to visit, subscribe to, use RSS feed from, and
contribute news/announcements/ideas to OpenContentList.
WHAT IS OPEN CONTENT?
"Open Content" is a new and evolving term, but in the strictest sense
it refers to content (books, articles, documentation, images, databases,
etc.) that is "freely available for modification, use, and
redistribution under a license similar to those used by the Open
Source / Free Software community" (David Wiley, Opencontent.org, c.1998).
These special licenses employ a legal device called "copyleft", in
which an author claims copyright over a given piece of work, but then
releases the work for public use and modification, under the condition
that any subsequent users a) do not claim to have written the original
work, and b) agree to release all derivative works under the same terms
as the original work. Placing a work under copyleft is not the same as
releasing work into the "public domain", because in the latter case, the
creator foregoes all property claims on the work, leaving open the
possibility that another party may modify or incorporate the work and
then claim exclusive copyright over that derivative work. Rather,
copyleft works against this "re-enclosure", and aims to ensure that
disparate parties can contribute to a project and trust that the end
result will remain publicly usable.
While there are disagreements about what types of copyleft license are
most effective or fair or legally defensible, the basic idea has been
shown capable of facilitating very large-scale creative projects, on
which hundreds of independent authors or programmers contribute
voluntarily to a common work: the most famous example is the creation
of the GNU/Linux operating system.
Open Content applies these principles to creations other than software
code, with the goal of creating publicly-usable, high-quality content.
For a helpful overview, see Michael Stutz, "Applying Copyleft to
Non-Software Information", 1997.

4 arxius adjunts. Es presenten quatre propostes que tenen en comú un compromís
amb el discurs contemporani. Totes plantegen relacions entre so i estratègies visuals,
com a elements d'expressió artística.
Svmn-ka: Des del seu laboratori de Banyoles, explora el terrorisme sonor,
les possibilitats del so i la música com elements de desordre i convulsió social.
Carles Congost recrea un univers de glamour, en el que hi trobem una
autèntica fascinació per tots aquells elements que configuren la iconografia
de les estrelles pop.
Job Ramos juga de manera subversiva amb la quotidianitat. Aparentment
senyala de manera innocent actes que repetim cada dia.
Jordi Mitjà: Interessat en manufacturar diferents realitats i recollir els ecos
que aquestes generen, l'artista es situa en diferents fronts, treballant amb
tota mena de mitjans.
