Subject: read_me 1.2 statements on rhizome-digest
Dear all!
It appears that something went wrong with presenting of read_me 1.2
statements on rhizome-digest.
My mail was sent out complete, but with the jury statements below the titles of the
honorary mentions deleted.
So I am resending the honorary statements only.
Full version of read_me 1.2 jury statements can be found here

HONORARY MENTIONS in alphabetical order:
CARNIVORE by RSG http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/now/7/
Bosses currently use all kinds of elaborate software to spy on their workers. Products like MailCensor (http://www.mailcensor.com) encourage bosses to check for "unauthorized transmission of Email containing confidential data" and "provide a safe and productive work environment for employees, by filtering out offensive/inappropriate email from the Internet."
On some networks, software can be installed by users to spy on their bosses as well. Packet sniffers, used by systems administrators to diagnose network problems, can often be used or modifed to do just that. Some packet-sniffing software is expensive, some free:
http://www.tucows.com/, search on sniffer
http://www.softpile.com/search.phtml?query=sniffer&pp=10&in=title
The trouble is, most of this software wouldn't be easy for a non-technical
user to convert into a tool for gathering useful information. Those
products that are easy to use for corporate spying tend to have pricetags
that are easy for bosses and companies to afford but not for employees.
Among currently available sniffing products, the jury likes Ethereal
(http://www.ethereal.com), a free, cross-platform diagnostic tool that can
be used fairly easily by employees to spy on their boss's e-mail,
websurfing and other network communications.
An upcoming version of Rhizome's Carnivore is planned to make it easier
for an art audience to get involved in corporate spying. The jury hopes
it will do this. Since Carnivore is open source software, other people
with the appropriate programming expertise can also write such
modifications themselves. For now, Carnivore only runs on specialized
servers, and it doesn't gather data in a human-readable form.
The relationship of Rhizome's Carnivore to the FBI's spying tool of the
same name seems to be a matter of concept and hipness-value, but it is not
explained and is not very obvious.
PORTRET OF PRESIDENT by Vladislav Tselischev
http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/now/37/ It is a small application that
installs a portrait of President Putin in an oval frame on the desktop of
a computer user. The political and critical point of the project is
obvious - the author proposes that you decorate your desktop (=workspace)
the way Russian bosses have done for centuries: they decorate the walls
of their offices with portraits of higher bosses to show their loyalty.
The transfer of such loyal behaviour into the virtual sphere is logical;
it's inhabited by the same humans with all their merits and shortcomings.
Also, when a PC user customizes her desktop she tells about herself to the
people around her. The jury would like to point out the simplicity and
elegance of this work as well as the program's ease of use and its
political orientation.
RE (AD.HTM by mez breeze http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/now/71/ An
honorary mention goes to "Re (ad.htm" by the Australian artist mez, This
entry created a lot of discussion in the jury, and quite dissimilar
individual rankings and opinions. "Re (ad.htm" consists of a selection of
writings or, to use the artist's terminology, "wurks" that had been posted
to several net cultural and arts-related mailing lists. They are highly
condensed pieces written in "mezangelle", an invented hybrid language
which mixes syntactical snippets of programming languages, network
protocols and markup code with the English language. The resulting texts
can be read in multiple, often contradictory ways due to their elaborate
use of ambiguity and compound ('portmanteau') words noted in rectangular
brackets, thus resembling regular and Boolean expressions in commandline
programs and programming languages. In contrast to a merely ornamental
code chic, this hybrid language is used to expose and deconstruct the
epistemological politics engendered into seemingly "ne!
utral", technical codes. It is poetically dense, involving and difficult,
but also humorous. Of course, it is not technically executable code,
although the bracketed expressions expand into multiple combinatory output
sequences. But above all the mezangelle targets fictitious, fantastic
compilers, creating a dream-like imagination of metonymic contiguity
between human bodies and machines. Sure, this topic has been spelled out
in popular culture and media theory multiple times, but mez succeeds to
free it from all cyber-kitsch by tackling it from within, in structure.
"Re (ad.htm" of course provokes the question whether it can be
legitimately considered software art even more than "Screen Saver". But it
clearly is art whose material is formal instruction code and which
addresses cultural concepts of software. Imaginary, pretended and
otherwise broken or pseudo-code in fact has a long tradition in poetic
software programming, starting with the Algol poems of the French Oulipo
group in the 1960s and not ending with the Perl poetry popular among
hackers since the early 1990s. In the non-digital realm, Russian
Futurists, concrete and L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets approached programming code
poetry when they experimented with the formal elements of conventional
language. mezangelle, which historically departed rather from the net.art
tradition of experimental ASCII art, differs from the former in various
respects: It neither is a concrete poetry-style conceptualist clean-room
design of code, nor is it naive haikus or love poems like most Perl
poetry. So mezangelle does for code poetry what 1990s net.art did for
ASCII Art when it turns an idea that itself was brilliant, but carried out
naively, into something contemporary and sophisticated.
TRACENOIZER by LAN http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/now/58/ Other
projects have worked with the idea of introducing noise into surveillance
processes for the purpose of allowing individuals to hide themselves. The
actual effectiveness of such techniques is often questionable. Such was
the case with TraceNoizer. As far as the jury can tell, TraceNoizer is not
literally effective at introducing noise into our data identities; after
several weeks we still couldn't find our data clones in search engines at
all. TraceNoizer's interest to the jury, however, was its use of
algorithmic processes as critique. In TraceNoizer, static data becomes a
dynamic process; the omniscient search engine database is transformed into
something like a video feedback loop. Each generation of TraceNoizer
cloned webpages is fed back into itself and (at least in theory) back into
the search engines, generating new pages that echo their originals - and
their subjects - more vaguely with each successive generation. The noise
added to the database is not external, but the search engine turned on
itself. Search engines use exclusionary systems to determine and dictate
data "relevance" - from Google's incestuous PageRank technology to other
search engines' blatant payola practices. Given this fact, TraceNoizer's
system of having data reproduce by looking up its own ass seems an
appropriate and entertaining response.
WINGLUK BUILDER by CooLer http://www.macros-center.ru/read_me/now/27/
WinGluk Builder belongs to a cracker culture of "revenge software," i.e.
creating programs that affect the normal work of an operating system and
give the impression that your computer is broken or infected by a terrible
virus. Despite the saboteur character of the program the jury decided to
nominate it for the following reasons: - - The program is focused on
understanding the computer as an object with certain physical and
aesthetic qualities and tries to reveal these qualities. - - It uses a
computer against its purpose, overcoming the predetermination imposed by
the pragmatic software creators. - - It takes a critical attitude towards
hacker-cracker culture: using Wingluk Builder, everyone can feel like an
impressive virus creator by pressing a couple of buttons. - -The project
implies the possibility of integrating other "viruses" into the program
(it has thorough instructions on how to do that) - - An attempt to create
a community around itself. - - The project ironically comments on the
interface of Windows applications - it looks exactly like a proper program
with an uninstall feature, a help file and all the other features of a
decent program that humorously contradicts its own purpose. - - And last
but not least: the program in fact is not that "evil" - it can't destroy
your computer or erase your data. It rather gives you an opportunity to
reflect on the possible results of hackers' activity, on the attention
with which you should use your computer, as well as on the fact that your
digital friend does not necessarily have to be a boring hybrid of a
mailbox and a DVD player, but sometimes can perform strange and funny
things. - - And the lat but not least: the program in fact is not that

Subject: the commoner update
dear friends the new issue of The Commoner is out at its usual
address http://www.thecommoner.org -- please circulate in your network
- -- The Commoner N.4 - May 2002
enclosures
power
commons
- - John Holloway. Beyond Power. Chapter 3 from "Change the world without
taking power"
- - John Holloway. Twelve Theses
- - Ruth Rikowski. The Capitalisation of Libraries
- - Richard Barbrook. The Regulation of Liberty: free speech, free trade and

plus a book review by Richard Barbrook on The Napsterisation of Everything
(a review of John Alderman, Sonic Boom: Napster, P2P and the Battle for
the future of Music) Fourth Estate, London 2001.
Introduction
Each of the articles in this number of The Commoner addresses one
particular facet of the strategic and theoretical nodes we need to tackle
in order to change the world: the polarity between enclosures and commons
and the link between them: power. We start with two pieces on power and
hope to contribute in this way to raise a debate within global movements
on the question: How is another world possible? For this we are glad to be
able to publish the entire chapter 3 from John Holloway's latest book:
Change The World Without Taking Power, published by
<http://www.plutobooks.com/>Pluto Press earlier this year. The chapter
addresses the fundamental questions of revolutionary politics today.
According to Holloway, the "revolutionary challenge" we face at the
beginning of the 21st century is to raise the stake of revolutionary
politics and "to change the world without taking power". By clinging on
"how to hold on to power", traditional concepts of revolutions have been
aiming too low, and for that reason they have failed. The problem with
this traditional notion of revolution is that the real aim of revolution
is "to dissolve relations of power, to create a society based on the
mutual recognition of people's dignity." Today, "the only way in which
revolution can now be imagined is not as the conquest of power but as the
dissolution of power". But how can we change the world without taking
power? Well, read this piece on "beyond power" and the accompanying twelve
theses, which summarise the argument of the book.
Ruth Rikowski's article takes us on one of the fronts of the battle
against modern enclosures in the form of the privatization of services
promoted by global neoliberal capital. In particular, the author considers
the implications of the WTO/GATS agenda (World Trade Organisation's
General Agreement on Trade in Services) for public libraries in England.
She charts the early stages of the capitalisation of public library
services in this region. She examines the capitalisation process within
three main categories - commercialisation, privatisation and
capitalisation. Income generation is one example of commercialisation. PFI
(private finance initiative) and private companies running a library at a
lower cost than the price they are contracted to run them exemplify
privatisation (the latter has just started to also happen in libraries in
the London Borough of Haringey). Capitalisation is a process that deepens
over time, with libraries becoming sites for capital accumulation and
profit making. Commercialisation and privatisation feed off each other and
deepen in the capitalisation process. Continual library reviews provide
an example of the capitalisation process. Some of the facilitators that
will enable this process to take effect are then considered. These are
referred to as the national faces of the GATS. Best Value, Library
Standards and the Peoples' Network are analysed, and the author shows how
these mechanisms are enabling the GATS to take effect in our public
libraries in England.
In the final article, Richard Barbrook explores emerging commons in
cyberspace. In the mid-1990s, neo-liberals claimed that state regulation
of the Net was impossible. Free markets would create free speech. This
libertarian rhetoric lost its appeal as increasing numbers of people
started swapping music and video files over the Net. Free speech meant
free gifts. In the early-2000s, neo-liberals are now demanding more state
regulation of the Net to protect intellectual property. Free markets
depend upon economic censorship. However, this attempt to regulate the Net
in the interests of intellectual property is already failing. In the
digital age, media exist both as commodities and gifts - and hybrids of
the two.

The films of the late Hollis Frampton spanned the late 1960s through the
early 1980s. His work, Critical Mass, is one of a series of films
collectively titled "Hapax Legomena" that investigate "the specific
conditions of cinematic representation and the limitations and paradoxes of
visual description and narrative." (description by Steve Polta - San

Between Home Sickness and the Home Front
Mini-conference about New Media and Diaspora
De Balie
Saturday June 15 / 14.00-17.00 hrs. / Grote Zaal
live stream: http://www.balie.nl/live
Special guest: Internet journalist Adam Hanieh from Ramallah
Internet enables cheap and fast communication across vast distances. It is
no coincidence the migrants and refugees make extensive use of new media to
keep in touch with their home land. In times of crisis these contacts are
even more crucial and they intensify. Web sites become message boards and
sources of up-to-date information, platforms to establish contacts and
develop new initiatives, to spread calls for action, for intervention and
projects, and to distribute self-made radio programs and videos.
Access to the required high-end technology often remains largely out of
reach for the population in the home land, which is why combinations with
older media are investigated: telephone, fax, print and radio. Thus local
post offices, call centres and call booths, and radio stations can emerge
that build a bridge between the international new media infrastructures and
the local population.
Within The Netherlands a number of different projects are currently
developed where internet and radio are used to establish contacts between
the Diaspora and the home land. How does it work and what is possible? What
contribution can these projects make to reconciliation and to the (re-)
construction of the home land? How can a sense of a shared destiny be
reinforced?
With Bruce Girard , author of "A passion for radio" and "Mixed Media"

media by migrants and exiles.

Subject: <nettime> contra la videosurveillance! gegen video-ueberwachung! against video surveillance!
PLEASE TRANSLATE THIS MESSAGE INTO GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH, ETC
AND DISTRIBUTE EVERYWHERE
On 7 September 2001, a network of groups staged an International Day
Against Video Surveillance. Click here for more information:
http://www.notbored.org/7s01.html
Though it was a great success (in action were 23 different groups from 8
different countries!), this protest was inevitably overshadowed by the
terrorist attacks on the USA, which occurred on 11 September 2001, just
four days later.
Since then, the governments of a great many countries -- the USA, Canada,
France, England, Italy, Germany and Israel, to name just a few -- have
cynically used the pretext of "fighting terrorism" to drastically increase
their powers of coercion at all levels of operation (i.e., local police
departments, national military forces, international intelligence
gathering and covert operations) and to use these expanded powers to wage
illegal war against both suspected "international terrorists" and
legitimate political dissidents and activists in their own countries.
And so it seems fitting that, in order to defend and reclaim our civil
liberties, we stage our *second* International Day Against Video
Surveillance on 11 September 2002, and not on its actual first
anniversary.
