18 - 21 OCTOBER 2001 MUNICH
http://make-world.org
0yes@make-world.org
What's new? Even in times when everybody is shocked by the news,
something new refers rather not to the unknown or the never seen before,
but to the omnipresence of permanent change. What was beyond imagination
up to recently, may, in the next moment come as no surprise.
>From October 18th to the 21nd the make-world festival will take place in
Munich, one of the fastest growing High-Tech and New Media clusters in
the world. Make-world is a first of it's kind project dealing with such
different subjects as migration and freedom of circulation, open source
and immaterial labor, tactical media and art in networking environments.
Against the backdrop of global politics undergoing radical changes,
scientists, theorists, artists and activists are invited to participate
in presentations, constructive conversations, reflection and debates.
Under the title BORDER="0" LOCATION="YES" the festival aims to track new
forms of subjectivity carried out by current modifications of the world;
which until recently were characterized as "infotization",
"digitization" and "globalization". The more these buzzwords loose their
glamour, the more important it is to discuss the role borders play, and
question what restricted and unrestricted locality, mobility and freedom
of movement may mean.
Global processes are running out of time and space. Facing the end of
the end, everything - what might happen or has to be done - starts from
scratch. And this new beginning embraces much more than ever before.
It's time to scroll: to look ahead and behind, to step to the side, to
think fast forward.
PROGRAM
The conference part consists of lectures and debates with numerous
renowned speakers from all over the world. In the aftermath of the
attacks of New York City and Washington D.C., the new german migration
debate has been delayed and the reminiscence of the anti-globalization
protests seem to fade out. Nevertheless the conference program is going
to question the real potential of what was formerly known as
globalization, as far as it affects the life of human beings. In the
raise of a new global sovereignty, in the decline of a New Economy and
on the eve of the privatization and proprietarization of the internet,
the conferences aims to analyze the virtualization of borders and the
re-vitalization of public and free accessible spheres.
The exhibition deals with a strange attraction: "The Artist as an
Expert" will take a side view and process profiles of artists. It will
collect some of the artists data and expose self-profiles sequencing the
biographical, aesthetical, imaginary layers of subjectivity.
Participating artists are: Yevgeniy Yufit (expert in forensic medicine,
St. Petersburg), Marko Peljhan (expert in communication technology and
earth/space environment applications, Ljubljana), Entropy8Zuper (experts
in the future of art and entertainment, Gent), Jennifer Reeder (expert
in White Trash, Chicago), Herbert W. Franke (expert in computer art,
cybernetic aesthetics, visualization of science, futurology, speleology,
Munich).
SCHEDULE
The exhibition will be connected to the public interface "Everyone is an
Expert", which will be set up in it's first version by Shu Lea Cheang
(New York): It consists of a four-day running installation including
databases, open entry forms, free terminals, help desks and lounges.
BORDER="0" LOCATION="YES" will open on Thursday night, in the
Muffathalle, with lectures by Saskia Sassen, Ghassan Hage and a
performance by the "Publix Theatre Caravan".
On Friday, the conference starts with debates along different tracks.
Topics include: "Labor Without Borders", "Open Source and Free Floating"
and "Under Global Construction". In the evening Roman Leibov will give a
lecture, followed by the vernissage of the exhibition "The Artist as an
Expert" and the public interface installation "Everyone is an Expert".
Later that night Guillermo Gomez-Pena will perform.
Saturday is a conference day, with debates and workshops. The evening
program includes a talk by Kodwo Eshun, a concert with Daddy G (Massive
Attack) and Console in the concert hall, a Micromusic clubnight in the
exhibition space and an Expert-Lounge around the public interface
installation "Everyone is an expert".
On Sunday, Lev Manovich will speak on "The Language of New Media". As
well, "Virtualienmarkt", a one-day project fair where artists, activists
and others present their projects, takes place in the big hall. The
event will close with a debate with Yann Moulier Boutang and Antonio
Negri (connected by a video-conference).

Subject: CONF: Beyond Dichotomies? (Trier/Germany, Oct 11th to Oct 13th, 2001)
International Conference
Beyond Dichotomies?
Transgressive Identities and Topographies of Intercultural Spaces
organized by
Graduiertenkolleg "Interkulturelle Kommunikation in
kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive"
University of Saarbrücken, Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink
(Intercultural Communication in the Perspective of Cultural Studies)
and
Graduiertenkolleg "Identität und Differenz. Geschlechterkonstruktion und
Interkulturalität (18. bis 20. Jahrhundert)"
University of Trier, Prof. Dr. Viktoria Schmidt-Linsenhoff
(Identity and Difference. Gender and Interculturality, 18th - 20th
centuries)
October, 11th to 13th, 2001 - Trier (Germany)
Intercultural and gender studies have for a long time criticized the
power structure created by constructions of cultural and sexual
difference. But this critique often reproduced the patterns of thoughts
which it reflected if not even strengthened - like the pattern of basic
dichotomies as own / other, colonizer / colonized, victim / offender,
Orient / Occident, male / female etc. The conference aims at questioning
these bipolar dichotomies.
During the last years the focus of attention has shifted to hitherto
overlooked phenomena of mixture and intercultural spaces, of
transgressions and of transculturality. In the course of this
development the already dubious notions of stable identities, of
homogeneity and the coherence of cultures and gender have once more been
refuted. Whereas up to now the rehabilitation and recognition of the
colonized "other" was central, it is now time to develop as a figure of
thought conceptual alternatives to the allegedly universal dichotomies.
The conference will discuss case studies and approaches developped in
cultural studies and social sciences working with the concepts of
hybridity and heterotopia, nomadism and intermediality, circulation and
translation, "third space" and "third gender"; the conference will try
to clarify these often vague concepts. This tendency is exemplified by
the development of the study of Orientalism during the last twenty
years. Whereas Edward Said in 1978 defined the Orient as a
one-dimensional projection and invention of the Occident being part of a
static pattern, other researches in different disciplines have worked
out a whole number of "orientalisms", whose dynamical forces influence
the field of interculturality pointing out the agency and the voice of
the "others".
The conference is divided into three sections: the first section will
present theoretical approaches "Beyond Dichotomies" from the point of
view of postcolonial- and gender studies. In the second section concepts
of space will be discussed under the key word of "Topographies of
Intercultural Spaces". In the third section conceptions of
"Transgressive Identities" will be up to discussion.

From: eurochina <eurochina@sigma-consultants.fr>
As you may already know, a major event (exhibition, conference, and on site
meetings) is organised in Beijing from April 16 to 20, 2002 by the European
Commission, the Chinese Ministry of Science & Technology, and the Chinese
Ministry of Information Industry.
This "2002 Euro-China Co-operation Forum on the Information Society" is a
unique opportunity offered to European organisations (SMEs, research
institutions, and large companies) to establish or strengthen co-operation
links with Chinese organisations.
The exhibition (financially supported by the European Commission) will
include an "Olympic Village" in which European organisations will be
invited to present the solutions they have and that could be used by the
organisers of the 2008 Olympic games!
So, if you have not yet registered to attend the conference or exhibit your
products and services, it is time to do it now!
Further details on this event and detailed registration conditions are
available through http://www.EuroChina2002.com.
Waiting forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards.

The Conference: Hands-On Workshop ( W5 250.- Sfr.)
Years ago, car manufacturers introduced a voice system that said, "fasten
your seat belts" when needed. The drivers and their passengers hated it. On
the other hand, we are all charmed by gadgets: from the tamagoshi to the
walkman, from games to kitchen utensils. Technology is enchanting us. The
conference questions how we, as humans accept technology and react to it
rather than what new gadgets can be put together. Even more, how can we
design technology that people accept rather than hate? This tension is at
the centre of i3's preoccupations. i3 organises this conference within the
E-Business congress of Messe Basel to explore these issues. The speakers
will present experiences and insights in this situation, based on their
wide-ranging and interdisciplinary experiences.
The conference will begin to answer the following questions:
. Who leads: the technology or humans?
. How do we live with technology? Why is GSM widely accepted and the
electronic book much less?
. How do we decide which technology to deploy? Are market forces the only
forces to reckon on?
. How do we build our future?
To begin the conference two world-renowned researchers present their view on
the subject. After which a panel will discuss these points and will provide
glimpses of the wider i3 experience: making, playing, thinking, applying and
using.

E-people? It's a people thing
So many technology developers miss a central concept about the use of their
designs? People develop new capabilities in reaction to the tools and
environment they find themselves in and it is thus people who shape their
use of the technology and who subvert it for their own needs. Of course,
many past technologies have distorted our behaviours and clouded our
expectations, but when they have trapped us in their own limitations they
have either been rejected or their use has needed reinventing by people.When
technologies have enhanced our capacity to create our own content or produce
our way out of technological straitjackets, then they have proved to be
highly successful. This is why, with newly emerging technologies, content
isn't king, but communities might be sovereign.
This isn't about delivery technology, if content was important then we would
only build libraries, not schools. People are reaching out to be engaged,
involved and to participate. They are reclaiming their entitlement to
narrative control. These matters are crucial for the future of
telecommunications, broadcasting, learning and the economic potential
emerging technologies and are explored in this presentation.
