Subject: E-consultation workshop in Belfast
Date: Wed, May 16, 2001, 20:27
How can computers and the Internet be used to improve the human
processes of public consultation? This is a question people in
the public, voluntary and private sectors in Northern Ireland
started asking after being deluged with consultation documents
last June, as a result of devolution legislation. So we set up
a study group. The first fruit of our labours is an:
*E-consultation workshop*
to be held on 25 June 2001, 0900-1300
in the Peter Froggatt Centre, Queen's University Belfast,
Belfast, Northern Ireland.
http://www.qub.ac.uk/mgt/e/consult/
After Stormont minister Dennis Haughey opens the workshop, we
will have a morning learning from people who have experimented
with computer support for each stage of mediation. They have:
* run political chats in the only neutral venue in East
Belfast: the Internet,
* researched electronic mediation support systems in Germany,
* developed voting and rating systems for finding consensus
among people who hate each other in Belfast and the Balkans,
* and run half the official public e-consultations in the
Netherlands
The workshop is for anyone who might be setting up e-consultations
and/or responding to them, whether you come from the public or
community sector, from inside or outside Northern Ireland.

cross-disciplinary debate about complexity in contemporary living -
investigating new areas of practice which have arisen through the
convergence and hybridisation of established disciplines.
addressing the ungraspable spaces in-between disciplines and concept
boundaries the non* is what emerges as the consequence of convergent and expanded networks - networks of transactions, communications, accidental meetings, business lunches, data packets, radiowaves, flirtations - beyond the economy of information lies the economy of connectivity - networks of networks - in the excess of connectivity, where links are constructed
between previously discrete practices, nonPractices establish the
possibilities of what could be - nonPractices expose a critical and
hypothetical working, doing, acting and thinking through of established practices - developing a confidence about the unknown - a knowing undoing
non* - nonSymposium connects popular and institutional discourses, the tv talk show and the intellectual debate. Panelists from backgrounds in the corporate world, new media and urban theory, hacking and product design, will explore the possible nonPractices which emerge from the connectivity between and beyond their disciplines.

From: "Cargoweb" <cargoweb@pandora.be>
Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2001 2:23 AM
Subject: B.E.C.O.M.I.N.G.
B.E.C.O.M.I.N.G. is a project developing media technology
into a tool for people researching themselves.
Concept
The project sets out to let ‘become’ human presences* into three different
media of presentation and production : on the Web, in exhibitions
(installation+performance) and in film.
The project will set-up a group of young adolescents and engage them in an
extended script development phase on the Web and in the physical world.
They will be given the opportunity and the means to develop a ‘second’
character on the Web, on a specially programmed stream platform called
‘Becoming TV’ with (live) streams (of their own), moderated chat and
personal blog, allowing each of them to keep a Net based personal diary.
Now and then some participants will perform during special ‘installation’
events, sharing their experience with a larger public. Some of them will
also engage in travels abroad, deepening and charging their Web-character
with hard reality, inviting others to join. The participating adolescents
will be guided by a professional team of script producers and advisors.
Psychological support and expertise will be available at any moment.
Visualization
A special prototype webcam-lounge will be constructed where the
participating adolescents will be offered the possibility of constructing
telepresences of their own bodies live on the Net. The webcam-lounges will
consist of transparencies the adolescents will inhabit and surround with
video- and dataprojectors. Kind of body-sized mult-media space shuttles,
where the adolescents will work out and show their latest persona. Being
embodied vision machines* they will observe and incorporate realities that
give best form to the telebody of their chosen character.
On-line scripting
These experiences and second existences, on-the-Web, will be the basis for
the final scripting of CRIMES OF BECOMING. – the science fiction movie part
of the project. Ultimately the project wants to develop a new kind of
working procedure for writing filmscripts. Instead of being written (as is
the case in traditional scripting), the realities as well as the themes of
the script will be developed out of the tele-existing characters embodying
these themes. On the Web and inside the webcam-lounges, the adolescents
will temporarily not only experience their tele-characters (as is the case
in traditional acting and rehearsing), but construct and live them. They
will charge their Web-persona with specific realities from the Net and the
physical world. They will let their new existence be known and communicate
it with other beings traditionally more human. They will exchange their
experiences with other members of the group and morph, mix and melt
experimentally with each other. And during the whole process chats will be
recorded, as an essential part of the on-line scripting, parallel to the
project : experiential content construction.
The project so far
Testing together with students scripting and architecture of the St Joost
Academy in Breda and students of the Rits Filmschool in Brussels between
February and May this year has resulted in initial visual presentation
material of the project. A special streaming platform on the web is under
construction and is partly operational since beginning of May 2001.

ABOUT THE EVENTS
1. A FIGURE FOR EUROPE?
Saturday 19 May
As Europe's common economic apparatus continues to establish itself,
many questions concerning European cultural identity need to be
addressed. Is there a European symbolic, a European imaginary? In
what ways are the categories of 'the European mind' fissured? Does
Europe have an 'imagined community', or must we move beyond this
notion? This one-day conference brings together cultural theorists
and filmmakers to consider how, if at all, contemporary Europe might
be figured in theory, politics and cinema.

2. CAPITAL SEMINAR 2: ECONOMY
Sunday 20 May
Capital <http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/capital.htm> is a
collaborative project for Tate Modern by artists, Neil Cummings and
Marysia Lewandowska. It unfolds as a series of encounters between two
iconic institutions, Tate and the Bank of England, and the economies
they animate. The project includes a series of seminars. The second
seminar looks at the concept of economy. The financial economy is
taken to be the most real thing we have. It is often seen as the
measure and test of reality: 'it's the economy, stupid'. But what of
symbolic economies?
Speakers: Jean Joseph Goux (French Studies, Rice University, USA);
Scott Wilson (Institute for Culture Research, Lancaster University).
Chaired by Paul Hirst (Academic Director, London Consortium).

Subject: to former 7-11 participants
dears,
i am writing a paper for the baltimore based critical arts journal "link"
about vuk's 7-11 project. as a 7-11 participant, i wax nostalgic every time
i think how much fun we had.
i am interested in including the observations of some other participants.
so if you could take a minute and mail me your observation i would be very
grateful.
i would like to know your thoughts about:
the creation of characters (such as keiko suzuki) during 7-11.
how the interface allowed more than one person to play the role of keiko
suzuki.
the atmosphere of 7-11.
how the interface of 7-11 promoted community.
the relationship between participants and audience--or if these can be
seperated.
cheers,
lisa

UT - domus 3
Stevie Wishart + Joan Grounds [Australia + UK]
11 May - 3 June
The Ut project is a sound installation which explores three spaces - the
medieval, the contemporary and the virtual.
At the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia, we are presenting v2.
This piece concentrates on the virtual and contemporary spaces using video
and sound which become the focus of a series of different performances.
Image and sound in video and embodied image and sound in performance effect
each other, the performer, and the audience. When the gallery is closed,
the installation becomes our studio, a site from which we continue to build
new work and change the content of the sound and image.
Live Sound Installations
2:30pm Sunday 20 May
6:30pm Thursday 24 May
4pm Sunday 27 May
Stevie and Joan will regularly post new web pieces on the CACSA website in
addition to changes in the physical installation.
http://www.cacsa.org.au/cacsa/program/index_frames2.html and scroll down.
Also linked from the CACSA site are artist statements 'PREVIEW' as published
in Broadsheet -- 'A Commentary' by Linda Marie Walker, and a RealTime
interview with Stevie Wishart 'Working the Globe'
A new thread on the CACSA dialogue board is innitated with the following
queries ...
- - What is a sound installation ?
- - What are the effects or in what way do sound and image effect each other ?
- - What do sound and image offer an embodied experience ?
- - How can we translate art that we create for a specific physical space into
a virtual space ... beyond documentation ?

Subject: DOODS Audio Collage
Dept. of Ongoing Digital Situtations
PRESS OFFICE Release
The Department of Ongoing Digital Situations (DOODS) identifies the city as
the basis for new experiments in electronically mediated playfulness.
First released as a limited edition cassette, Secret City was comprised of
the pre-eminent DOODS audio works, Alberto Tsara's Legends to Maps of
Freedom, and Ion Van Gemsy's Unheard History of Cyberspace.
Tsara and Van Gemsy are joined on Secret City by Justin Time, a close
confidant of the DOODS,researcher and time keeper. Time's disturbing violin
carves through the audible space much like a school of sharks in attack
frenzy.
Van Gemsy's hidden history is a map of sonic activity occurring in parallel
with significant social and personal markers identifying the public advance
onto the Internet. The Unheard History of Cyberspace is dedicated to the
social activists who shaped and extended the net across Asia from the late
80s to the early 90s.
Tsara's provocative collage is comprised of sound fragments with media art
luminaries such as Greil Marcus, Bruce Sterling, Natalie Jereminjenko and
Craig Baldwin. The Tsara collage is an assembly of sound fragments which
taken as a whole paint a picture of the strangeness of technologically
mediated everyday life.
DOODS' Secret City is more than window, it's a map that can be read and
heard, reinterpreted and judged, itemised and accounted for.
What the 20th Century began, the 21st can only re-begin...
Alberto Tsara and Ion Van Gemsy, 2001.

Subject: G2000Conf2000 Rolling Blackouts for the Summer Solstice
Got this yesterday and it seems like a great idea. Here in
Minneapolis I'm going to try to put together a show with poets,
pagans and greens at a gallery--all by candlelight or
flashlight . . .
ROLL YOUR OWN BLACKOUT
FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
JUNE 21, 2001
7-10pm worldwide, all time zones
As an alternative to George W. Bush's energy policies and lack of
emphasis on efficiency, conservation and alternative fuels, there
will be a voluntary rolling blackout on the first day of summer, June
21 at 7pm - 10pm in any time zone (this will roll it across the
planet).
Its a simple protest and a symbolic act. Turn out your lights from
7pm-10pm on June 21. Unplug whatever you can unplug in your house.
Light a candle to the Sungoddess, kiss and tell or not, take a stroll
in the dark, invent ghost stories, anything that's not electronic -
have fun in the dark.
Read the 1999 book "Natural Capitalism" by Hawken and Lovins to learn
that conservation/high efficiency technologies already ARE on-the-
shelf. If implemented these revolutionary ideas would pay themselves
off within five years, after which we'd be pumping far less
greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and saving bucks to boot.
Forward this email as widely as possible, to your government
representatives and environmental contacts.
Let them know we want global education, participation and funding in
conservation, efficiency and alternative fuel efforts -- and an end to
over-exploitation and misuse of the earth's resources.
Anyone knows that the Cheney-Bush team is blowing smoke when they
tell us that "... conservation can't help, it'll just be too
expensive to implement those technologies..."

TIME CAPSULE
Opens as part of the inaugural exhibition for "ELECTRONIC MAPLE:
Human Language and Digital Culture in Contemporary Art," May 19th,
2001, 5-9 PM at New York Center for Media Arts, 45-12 Davis Street,
Long Island City, NY
This new "Time Capsule" video installation is comprised of video of
the artist's 1997 live microchip implant (shown on a flat LCD panel
mounted with a needle and a microchip) surrounded by seven
sepia-toned photographs. "Time Capsule" confronts the internalization
of memory through the absorption of analogue imagery (the sepia-toned
photographs) with the notion of memory in the digital age (the live
microchip implant). While in the former it is precisely the
historical context of the images that enables the gradual development
of narratives of identity, in the latter the internalization of
memory is abrupt, traumatic, and decontextualized. The photographs
and the microchip are also linked symbolically. The seven sepia-toned
photographs were taken in Poland in the '30s and represent a part of
the artist's family that was killed in the Second World War. The
content of the microchip is a nine-digit number, a digital tatoo that
serves as much as an instrument of surveillance and identification as
it serves to depersonalize the human. The work suggests that, in the
future, the human body might become a site of both moist and digital
memories. For more information about the exhibition, please see:

GENESIS
Live from Julia Friedman Gallery, Chicago, through June 2, 2001
http://genesis.juliafriedman.com/
"Genesis" is a transgenic net installation that explores the
intricate relationship between biology, belief systems, information
technology, dialogical interaction, ethics, and the Internet. The
key element of Genesis is an "artist's gene," a synthetic gene
created by translating a sentence from the biblical book of Genesis
into Morse Code, and converting the Morse Code into DNA base pairs.
The sentence reads: "Let man have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves
upon the earth." This sentence was chosen for what it implies about
the dubious notion--divinely sanctioned-of supremacy over nature.
Morse code was chosen because, as the first example of the use of
radiotelegraphy, it represents the dawn of the information age--the
genesis of global communication. The "Genesis gene," which is
incorporated into glowing bacteria is projected as live video in the
gallery and streams over the Internet, where the public is encouraged
to intervene and monitor the evolution of the work. Original Genesis
DNA music, by composer Peter Gena accompanies the installation. The
"Genesis" net installation has been exhibited at Exit Art, New York,
Wood Street Gallery, Pittsburgh, O.K. Center for Contemporary Art,
Linz, and Centro Cultural Itaú, São Paulo. It will travel to
Yokohama Triennale, Yokohama, Japan, September 2 to November 11,
2001; Fundación Telefónica, Madrid, Spain, September 12 to November
18, 2001; and Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, February 9 to May 18, 2002.
"Genesis" at Julia Friedman Gallery is Kac's first major solo
exhibition and is comprised of several new artworks, seen for the
first time. For more information, please see:

TELEPORTING AN UNKNOWN STATE
Live from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California, through
July 1, 2001
http://telematics.walkerart.org:28080/TP/servlet/TeleportServlet/index.html
"Teleporting an Unknown State," 94/2001 is a biotelematic net
installation that allows online participants to send light from eight
areas of the world to a single seed planted in a physical gallery.
The plant depends on light sent by Web participants to be able to do
photosynthesis and grow in a completely dark room. This work uses the
notion of teleportation of particles (photons) to create the metaphor
of the Internet as a life-supporting system. "Teleporting an Unknown
State" will travel for two years as part of the exhibition "Telematic
Connections: The Virtual Embrace," curated by Steve Dietz for
Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. Previous versions
of "Teleporting an Unknown State" are documented here :

Subject: Call for Contributions: "That's Retrotainment!"
Written & visual contributions are sought for "That's
Retrotainment!", a special theme issue of Signum. Signum encompasses
a monthly webzine at http://www.signumpress.com/ and a print
anthology.
As used by Signum, the word "retrotainment" covers lots of stuff:
burlesque, vaudeville, anarchist fire-eaters, various theatrical
forms and traditions, seedy roadside carnivals, musical subgenres
that transmute into kitsch & are then reborn in modern music, tiki
bars, buskers, circuses, Jesus Christ Superstar, and any spectacle
involving tap dancers. *Desperately seeking someone to write
intelligently about German cabaret and/or Kabarett, hopefully
covering last year's 100th anniversary of Berlin cabaret.*
The tone of writing should be thoughtful and reasonably accessible
(though we sometimes veer off into insider-speak or let academics and
theorists off their leashes for a romp in the green fields of
fifty-cent words and neo-post-hyper-lengthy sentences). English
language -- all accessible/readable flavours are accepted. All
writers/artists must have online access for editing/correspondence of
their work.
Articles can take many forms & lengths: reviews of theme-related
books, CDs, or websites (200-500 words); in-depth articles and
interviews (3000-3500 words); artist/phenomenon profiles (1500
words); and personal essays (1500 words).
For an idea of how Signum's theme issues work, look at the
double-issue theme "What Ever Happened to the Cyber Revolution?"
before querying further. The issues may be accessed through the
Catacombs archive at http://www.signumpress.com/catacombs.
