For Immediate Release:
306090 06>
SHIFTING INFRASTRUCTURES is accepting submissions for publication.
www.306090.org/30609006.htm
Call for works:
Our territorial and occupational processes are increasingly negotiated
through mobile communication methods and information technologies. Systems
of communication, data and material distribution (newscasts, fashion
trends, freight shipping, peer-to-peer file sharing software) create their
own unique infrastructures and inform existing exchange structures.
Newscasts, for example, require and affect events reported as well as the
physical hardware and transmission channels through which they broadcast.
Thresholds, transitions and discontinuities embedded in this dynamic of
infrastructural exchange suggest new (participatory or empirical)
processes to strategically discharge immanent manifestations of matter
and information.
306090 06>SHIFTING INFRASTRUCTURES will examine the current technological
infiltration into civic and social realms, where physical and cultural
infrastructures across diverse spatial and temporal scales are redefining
themselves as shifting, modulating entities via the use of new
technologies.
Submissions are due 30 November 2003.
Emergent Voices: 306090 Publishes politically charged articles and
projects that defy contemporary norms. We encourage work of a
controversial nature which challenges the academic, cultural and
professional institution of architecture. 306090 is dedicated to
representing the work of students young professionals in architecture
and design.

Subject: Call Artist in Residence
****** CALL: DEADLINE PROPOSALS NEXT PERIOD JULI 1 2003
Artist in Residence
Starting in 2002, the media lab at the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts is offering artists from The Netherlands and other countries the possibility of carrying out investigations in three areas:
· Streaming media
· Wireless applications
· 3D applications
Artistic concept, innovation and cooperation are to be central in these investigations. Preference will be given to research which makes use of "open source" and that develops "tools" which will be available for further use. Investigations that have an interdisciplinary character will also receive preference. The artists will be working together with Dutch universities and academies in the research.
Facilities
An Artist in Residence will have at his/her disposal
· Technical facilities, including assistance
· Working budget
· Housing
Technical specialists advise the participating artists during research, experiments and production.
Results
The outcome of the research will be presented in an appropriate manner, through exhibitions, discussions, seminars, publications and workshops.
Applications
Applications will be evaluated twice a year (December 1 and July 1) by an internal committee. This will be done on the basis of a research proposal with a work plan, which must include a formulation of the problem, and a description of the resources needed (technical and facilities) and the result. The artist should also submit a comprehensive biography, with documentation on his/her previous projects. The final round of the selection process will be based on an interview. The duration of the work will depend on the research proposal, but should run an average of three to six months.

European Corrections Corporation
Ein Projekt von Martin Krenn & Oliver Ressler
Container-Installation in Wels (A)
http://www.eu-c-c.com
Die Institution Gefängnis ist ein Instrument der Disziplinierung, der
Bestrafung und des Ausschlusses und fungiert als Agent der Kontrolle und
Normierung. In der heutigen Gesellschaft kommt dem Gefängnis zudem eine
wichtige Rolle als ökonomischer Produktionsort zu, an welchem die
Gefangenen zu Niedrigstlöhnen arbeiten müssen. Davon profitiert vor
allem die sich immer weiter ausbreitende private Gefängnisindustrie.
Seit den 80er Jahren erzielen in den USA Konzerne wie Wackenhut und
Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) durch die Errichtung und den
Betrieb von Gefängnisanstalten hohe Profite. In den letzten Jahren
gewinnen sie auch in Europa immer mehr an Einfluss. Sie betrachten den
europäischen Markt als Wachstumsbranche, an der sie so früh wie möglich
teilhaben wollen. CCA forciert den Bau und Betrieb von
teilprivatisierten Gefängnissen in Frankreich. Wackenhut und CCA bauen
und betreiben außerdem bereits seit mehr als zehn Jahren
Gefängnisanlagen in Großbritannien. Dort wurde seit der Öffnung des
Gefängnissystems für private Konzerne kein einziges staatliches
Gefängnis mehr errichtet.
Das Projekt "European Corrections Corporation" fokussiert das Phänomen
der voranschreitenden Privatisierung von Gefängnissen in Europa und
stellt die Institution Gefängnis in Frage. In der Welser Innenstadt wird
ein begehbarer 605 x 243 x 259 cm großer Container platziert, der von
einer bedruckten Plane ummantelt ist. Auf der Plane ist eine
detaillierte mit Texten kommentierte CAD-Grafik zu sehen, die die
mögliche zukünftige Privatisierung und den Umbau der Strafanstalt Wels
durch einen privatwirtschaftlichen Konzern visualisiert.
Wie reale Konzerne versucht EUCC (European Corrections Corporation), das
Gefängnis als deterritorialisierten Produktionsort innerhalb der
kapitalistischen Ökonomie zu nutzen und stellt ein Modell für die
gewinnbringende Verwertung der Arbeitskraft der Gefangenen vor.
Im Inneren des Containers wird ein 17 minütiges Video projiziert, das
auf einem Interview mit dem britischen Aktivisten Mark Barnsley basiert.
Barnsley war acht Jahre lang in 22 verschiedenen privaten und
staatlichen Gefängnissen in Großbritannien eingesperrt, und hat dort
konsequent die Arbeit verweigert. Mark Barnsley zeigt auf, dass sowohl
staatlich als auch privat geführte Gefängnisse den Vorstellungen von
Kriminalität als Krankheit und als soziales Übel unterliegen, die sie
als Disziplinierungsmaschinen mit Gewalt aufrecht zu erhalten versuchen.
Das Video thematisiert die Funktion und den Wandel der Institution
Gefängnis und zeigt Möglichkeiten des Widerstandes in und außerhalb der
Gefängnisse auf.
Die Container-Installation in Wels ist von 29. Juni bis 5. Juli 2003 als
Teil des Festivals der Regionen am Stadtplatz Wels zugänglich.
E N G L I S H :
European Corrections Corporation
A Project by Martin Krenn & Oliver Ressler
Container Installation in Wels (A)
http://www.eu-c-c.com
The institution prison is an instrument of discipline, punishment, and
exclusion, and functions as an agent of control and normalization. In
today's society, the prison also has an additional important role as a
site of economic production, in which the prisoners must work for a
minimum wage. For the most part, it is the expanding prison industry
that profits from this enterprise.
In the U.S., corporations such as Wackenhut and Corrections Corporation
of America (CCA) have aspired to high profits through building and
operating correctional facilities since the 1980s. Their influence has
also continued to increase in Europe for the past years. They consider
the European market as a growth market, which they want a share of as
early as possible. CCA has pushed forward the construction and
management of partially privatized prisons in France. Wackenhut and CCA
have already been building and running correctional facilities in Great
Britain for more than ten years. There, not one single state prison has
been built since opening the prison system to private companies.
The project "European Corrections Corporation" focuses on the phenomenon
of the advancing privatization of prisons in Europe and questions the
institution prison. A walk-in container, 605 x 243 x 259 cm, covered
with a printed tarpaulin, will be placed in the pedestrian zone in the
center of Wels. On the tarpaulin is a detailed CAD graphic with text
commentary, which visualizes a private corporation's future
privatization and rebuilding of the Wels correctional facility.
Like a real company, EUCC (European Corrections Corporation) attempts to
use the prison as a de-territorialized site of production within the
capitalist economy and presents a model for the profitable utilization
of the prisoners' labor power. Thus, the construction of prison
buildings in the Wels correctional facility is meant to double the
number of spaces available for prisoners.
Projected inside the container will be a seventeen-minute video based on
an interview with the British activist Mark Barnsley. Barnsley was
incarcerated for eight years in twenty-two different private and state
prisons in Great Britain and consistently refused to work there.
Barnsley shows that underlying both state run and privately run prisons
is the idea that criminality is a disease and a social evil, which they
attempt to maintain with force, with disciplinary machines. The video
thematizes the function and the transformation of the prison as an
institution and shows possibilities for resistance inside and outside of
the prisons.
The container installation in Wels is accessible from 29 June to 5 July
2003 at the Stadtplatz Wels as part of the "Festival der Regionen".

Subject: DSLR WEST wants you!
The Department of Space and Land Reclamation Wants You!
Proposals Due August 22, 2003
www.dslrwest.org
The newly-founded Western Division of the Department of Space and Land
Reclamation (DSLR-West) is pleased to announce an Open Call for Submissions
& Participation in the first-ever Space & Land Reclamation Campaign west of
the Mississippi. Converging in San Francisco for 72 hours of non-stop
occupation, intervention, recreation, and re-invention of public space, the
DSLR-West campaign will take place in the first weekend in October. Using
the infamous art/punk rock/community center, Mission Badlands/Balazo Gallery
as a center of operations, DSLR-West will establish a hub from which
projects will radiate out across the metropolis. The emphasis of this
campaign is on the creative usage and appropriation of public space by
autonomous individuals and groups from all walks of life. DSLR-West is not
just interested in Art! We are interested in people taking back their cities
with a wide range of methods and approaches. We want to work with,
encourage, and be encouraged by people who want to reclaim the streets and
buildings, the empty lots and back alleys, the skies and the waterways. As
such we welcome submissions from artists and non-artists alike - urban
gardeners, media tacticians, pirate radio, interventions, graffiti, pranks,
social services, snake-charmers, performance artists, buskers, landscape
alterations, pie-throwers, street sculpture, agit-prop, aerialists,
'zine-sters, monkey-wrenchers, billboard manipulators, hackers, activists,
cultural saboteurs, kite-fliers, renegade taxi-drivers, anarchitects,
muralists, bike brigades, skaters, perfumers, aesthetic bounty-hunters,
magicians, musicians & mariachi, b-boys, grrrls & gender-benders are all
encouraged.
Entries will be selected by the following criteria (proposals should have
one or more of these points in mind):
1) The project is specifically geared towards reclaiming space in the Bay
Area (we will try to assist, but participants must work out the details of
their spatial reclamations). Site-specificity (e.g. - the trolley stop on
Powell & Market) and site-generality (e.g. - public
transportation) are equally acceptable but should be stated to help us
better organize.
2) The project provides free materials from the DSLR-West HQ to
visitors/participants for distribution, installation, and/or operation in
public space (i.e. - stickers, 'zines, posters, smoke bombs, stencils,
condoms, how-to manuals, noise-makers, first-aid kits, handcuff keys, kites,
etc, etc, etc).
3) The project is interactive, collaborative, and/or relational with other
individuals, groups, participants or visitors (i.e. - workshops, teach-ins,
cooking, legal services, scavenger hunts, bike rides, protests, blood
drives, etc, etc, etc). These types of projects may take place at the
DSLR-West HQ, or may use the headquarters as a meeting place/laboratory.
4) All projects will be video-documented and screened on monitors at the
DSLR-West HQ. A corresponding city map will allow visitors to reference the
project and its location in the urban environment.
5) Although the campaign will be occurring around-the-clock, individual
projects are not bound to any spatial or temporal restrictions.
Please send submissions to be received by August 22, 2003 to:
DSLR-West
865A 52nd St.
Oakland, CA 94608
or email: onward@dslrwest.org
DSLR-West is organized by a small but diverse collective (kinda like the
A-Team but not all dudes) which includes artists, activists, agitators, an
analyst, a geographer, and a bike mechanic living in the San Francisco Bay
Area who were inspired by DSLR activities in Chicago, New York, and
elsewhere.
If you would like to assist us by providing logistical, financial, or other
material support (money, labor, food, goods, printing, etc) please contact
us at: goodluck@dslrwest.org
Thanks & good luck!

Subject: Introducing: Ravi Gupta...
Permit me to introduce my friend Ravi Gupta, an M Tech alumni of
IIT-Kanpur and editor of GISDevelopment. Unlike many other technocrats in
India, he has a socially-linked vision of technology and understands the
importance of linking it to the needs of this part of the Third World.
He's done some pioneering work in promoting GIS applications out of
Delhi, though a mag that has been going strong for many years now.
Recently, he launched the i4donline.net magazine. This is a print
magazine, the first of its kind in India and possibly in Asia. It looks
at how ICT can be harnessed for development.
Ravi is also looking closely at free software/open source, and how this
could be deployed in GIS.
Incidentally, Ravi plans to shortly be visiting the Netherlands, as a
visiting lecturer in one of the GIS institutes there (can't recall the
name myself).
If you'd like to contact him, just get in touch at Ravi Gupta

Direct download: http://psrf.detritus.net/pdf/p32.pdf (5.1 Mb)
Description. "Existentialism and the Illusion of
Choice" The theme was probably chosen after
reading Albert Camus' L'Étranger for a French
class, and deciding that at least the familiarity
of the idea of existentialism would give most of
my contributors a steady toehold upon which to
improvise with their fruitful minds. In our view,
they did not disappoint. Also, this issue was
assembled in the middle of a period when our
strongest and most reliable contributors were
participating in the project, and many fragments
seem part of continua of fragments found in
previous and future issues. (The numbering at the
end of each of the regular columns alludes to
this.) In addition to the graphics on the front
and back cover, regular contributor Thomas Wiloch
also offers up another installment of his "Codes
and Chaos" column. A significant graphic series,
which appears at the start of the issue, is the
work of P. Petrisko, Jr, and frequent contributor
Guy R. Beining also contributes a series of eight
collages in his inimitable style. Christopher
Erin, whose work in these pages is generally
visual, here contributes the text "Dada: Suicide
as an Art Form." Another Important text,
"Censorship: The Oldest of Suppressed Traditions"
is penned by John Berndt.
Contributors include. Thomas Wiloch, Tom Hibbard,
Alessandro Aiello, P. Petrisko Jr., Eric Gunnar
Rochow, Guy R. Beining, Thad Metz, Hilare
Moderne, Karen Eliot [John Berndt], The
Tape-beatles, Uta-Maria Krapf, Thom Metzger, John

Guiseppe Fallico, Jürgen O. Olbrich, Lang

Coats, Geof Huth, Mark Rose.
Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde
Archive serves as an electronic repository for a
complete collection of PhotoStatic Magazine,
PhonoStatic Cassettes, Retrofuturism, and Psrf,
(as well as related titles). Issues are posted as
PDF files, at more or less regular intervals, in
reverse chronological order to form a
chronological mirror image of the original
series. When the first issue, dating from 1983,
is finally posted in several year's time, then
this electronic archive will be complete.

Subject: Photojournalist Imprisoned in China=20
=20
(Please forward this to anyone who might be interested)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I'm writing this letter to tell you about a friend of mine who is=20
currently in jail in China. His name is Seok, Jae-hyun, a South Korean=20
photojournalist, and he was recently sentenced to two years for=20
covering=20
the story of North Korean refugees in that country. Because both North=20
Korea and China are embarrassed by their treatment of these refugees,=20
they have tried to censor the coverage of the situation. It seems the=20
length of this sentence--which is unusual for a foreign national--is=20
meant to intimidate journalists and keep them from covering this story. =
Forty journalists are currently in Chinese prisons, thirty-nine are=20
Chinese, only one is from another country. =20
Jae is a freelance photojournalist and a regular contributor to the New=20
York Times and Geo. Because he is a freelancer he has no institutional=20
support and the Chinese government does not recognize his status as a=20
journalist.
Jae's best hope is a major public outcry. In 1999 freelance=20
photographer Tyler Hicks was arrested while shooting a story in=20
Chechnya. His situation was covered in the international news and he=20
was freed after only two nights. Jae has already been in prison for=20
over five months. =20
June 23rd is the date set for Jae's appeal. If the Chinese Government=20
understands that there is international outrage, it is possible the=20
case=20
will be thrown out. The aim of the arrest was to quiet interest in the=20
North Korean refugee situation. And if by arresting Jae they call more=20
attention to the story, their tactic will have backfired and they may=20
think twice before jailing another foreign journalist.
Please help me in this effort. As I'm sure you know, the wellbeing of=20
journalists is extremely important to the integrity of news reporting. =20
Jae has been put in jail for covering a story of international=20
importance, he is being persecuted by a government that censers its own=20
journalists and is now imprisoning foreign reporters.
What I'm asking you to do is simply e-mail the Chinese Embassy in=20
Washington. I also ask you to e-mail major US media outlets, alert=20
them=20
to the story, and tell them how important it is that they give this=20
story the coverage it deserves. All the information you need is below;=20
it will only take a few minutes to make a difference.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort, for my friend and for=20
the=20
integrity of journalistic freedom. If you wish to read the story of=20
Jae's arrest, please go the following web page where I've placed links=20

Dear Ambassador Yang Jiechi,
I am writing to express my outrage over the imprisonment of South=20
Korean=20
photojournalist Seok, Jae-hyun, and to request his immediate release. =20
His arrest was in direct violation of international law.
Mr. Seok is a well respected photojournalist who regularly contributes=20
to the New York Times and Geo. As a journalist his rights under=20
international law are covered in Article 19 of the United Nations=20
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this=20
right=20
includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek,=20
receive and impart information and ideas through any media and=20
regardless of frontiers."
China, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council,=20
should be aware that the arrest and detention of Seok, Jae-Hyun, who=20
was=20
trying to "seek, receive and impart information " regarding North=20
Korean=20
refugees, is a direct violation of Article 19 of The Universal=20
Declaration of Human Rights and of international law.
I join in the international call for Seok Jae-Hyun's immediate and=20

this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
To the Media:

This letter is in reference to Seok, Jae-hyun, a South Korean=20

Subject: gpgNet eForum: The Multilateral Trade Regime Seen Through a Global Public Goods Lens: New insights on old problems
Dear Colleagues at nettime,
I invite your participation in the discussion forum "The Multilateral =
Trade Regime Seen Through a Global Public Goods Lens: New insights on =

In the last fifty years, there has been a marked expansion of the =
multilateral trade regime-more commonly known as the World Trade =
Organization (WTO)-both in terms of coverage of issues and membership. =
Its expanded scope, particularly covering so-called =
behind-the-border-policies across a growing number of countries, makes =
this regime easily display global public goods characteristics of de =

the global public domain-affecting all-largely through the confluence of =
individual countries' policies.
Yet even as the 5th WTO Ministerial meeting 2003 in Cancun, Mexico =
approaches, there is still a raging debate as to the net benefits that =
developing countries gain from membership in this regime. Many in the =
developing world argue that the last major round of trade =
negotiations-the Uruguay Round-generated skewed benefits in favor of the =
industrialized countries. Still there are those who support further =

Online Experimental Writing Course - Alan Sondheim at trAce Online

course.

A roller-coaster ride to the edges of literature and philosophy on the
web. Extend your writing into new and uncharted territories and see how
far the internet can push your personal limits. There is no map for this
course - each time it runs in a different direction dictated by the
dynamic of the group itself.
Student comments: "I recommend Alan's course on Experimental Writing for
anyone wanting to discover the interface between writing and computers,
and who aren't afraid to lean a bit over the edge. Not for the faint of
heart."
"I'd thoroughly recommend this course to anyone and everyone interested in
writing. I found it vastly stimulating and productive. Any writer, from
beginner to the most experienced, would find it an invaluable way of
pushing their limits. Alan is a very skilful and generous tutor. Writers
should be queuing up to get on this one."
