jihui Digital Salon
presents
Perry Hoberman
Friday, January 31, 2003 7 PM
@ Parsons Center for New Design
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
New York, NY 10011
Live Webcast @ http://agent.netart-init.org starts 7pm EST.
Perry Hoberman will be discussing his current exhibition at Postmasters
Gallery. In this exhibition, Hoberman tackles one of our current dilemmas:
in a world of ever-increasingly "powerful" media technologies, our own
power to creatively make use these technologies is under constant threat
on a variety of fronts. Restrictions and surveillance are being hard-coded
into the hardware, software and networks we use daily in a process that
seems determined to make us little more than fodder for an
ever-more-profitable army of passive and fearful consumers.
Several works satirize the endless attempts to price and profit from what
has become known as "intellectual property" - a term that emphasizes
ownership above all. A series of prints is based on the ubiquitous dialog
boxes that appear whenever we open, save, close, delete, or do anything at
all with the files on our computers. Another series of prints consist of
superimposed images of every spam email message that Hoberman received
over a given period of time, in an attempt to visualize the increasing
onslaught of unsolicited advertising and to transform an utterly debased
form of communication into something beautiful. Several works deal with
iconography of the All-Seeing Eye, recently repurposed as the symbol of
John Poindexter's "Total Information Awareness System," thus shifting its
meaning from a suggestion of divine omniscience to a more earthbound ideal
of total surveillance.
Perry Hoberman is one of the pioneers of new media art, having addressed
the form, content and social implications of media technology for over
twenty years. During that time, he has exhibited internationally, with
major shows throughout the USA and Europe. His work is currently on view
in the "Future Cinema" exhibition at the ZKM Center for New Media in
Karlsruhe. Hoberman has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards,
and is both a 2002 Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and a 2002 Rockefeller
Foundation Media Art Fellow.
jihui (the meeting point), a self-regulated digital salon, invites all
interested people to send ideas for discussion/performance/etc. jihui is
where your voice is heard and your vision shared. jihui is sponsored by
Digital Design Department and Center for New Design @ Parsons School of
Design
jihui is organized by agent.netart (http://agent.netart-init.org), a joint
public program by NETART INITIATIVE and INTELLIGENT AGENT

Infrastructures of Digital Design Graduate Conference
January 31 - February 2, 2003 at UCS
"Infrastructures of Digital Design" is a graduate conference that will
take place January 31 to February 2 at the University of California San Diego
Center for Research in Computing & the Arts as part of the UC Digital
Cultures Initiative. This conference will feature paper presentations and
new media works from 30 graduate students inside and outside the University
of California, and will be supported by distinguished faculty members and
invited guest speakers.
"Infrastructures of Digital Design" will commence with a keynote speech
by Howard Becker leading sociologist of art and professor emeritus at the
University of California, Santa Barbara to be followed by two days of
plenary presentations that will address the following issues: Enabling
Design - What strategies and models of cultural production can be developed
from the realization of new infrastructures? Health Information Systems -
What are the ethical and technical questions produced through the
representation and collection of patient data and the formulation of new
medical knowledge? Spatiality and Built Environments - How does the
collection, mapping and visualization of data affect the understanding built
environments and the relationship between the local and the global? Digital
Environments for Learning/Community/Identity - What types of models
facilitate and produce new forms of understanding between both oneself and
the group or others? Designing Regulation and Regulating Design - How are
infrastructures developed and employed by both the private and public
sector, setting standards for new policy and invention?
Graduate projects will be showcased in a New Media Works Festival, held at
the Herbert Marcuse Gallery in the Visual Arts Department, concurrent to the
panel presentations. Between exhibition and presentation, a night of
emergent performance, real-time data-mixing and sonic intervention
will take place the evening of Saturday, February 1st as part of the
festival.
All panels and paper presentations will be held at the Center for Research
in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) located in building #408 University Center
on the campus of UCSD. Artist presentations and installations will take
place at the Marcuse Gallery in the UCSD Visual Arts Facility across from
CRCA on Russell Lane.
All panels and presentations will be streamed and available for viewing at
http://crca.ucsd.edu/livemedia/. Since the facility has limited seating,
virtual attendance is encouraged via the Live Media website, although art
events will be free and open to the public.
Support for Infrastructures of Digital Design is being provided by the UC
Digital Cultures Project; UCSD Departments of Visual Arts, Communication,
and Sociology; the UCSD Divisions of Social Sciences, and Arts and
Humanities; the Center for Research in Computing & the Arts, and the Science
Studies Program of UCSD.

The exhibition is part of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival ‘DEAF03 Data
Knitting’, organized by V2_, Institute for the Unstable Media (25 February
- - 9 March 2003 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands).
DEAF03’s exhibition presents recent, mostly interactive art that addresses
the role and meaning of information in our knowledge based society in an
inventive, confronting, but at the same time witty manner. DEAF03’s running
theme is the use of archives and databases, where information is viewed in
its wider sense as a building block for our knowledge and view of the
world. As individuals we are being bombarded with streams of information
that should provide us with knowledge but which are often so ‘out of
control’ that they tend to confuse rather than enlighten us.
Visitors to the exhibition can interact with these artworks at several
levels by changing and manipulating them. In this way they can use the
databases and archives these artworks deploy, to generate experiences and
images of a world that is forcing itself upon us as increasingly complex
and global, but which at the same time is more and more local.

Wednesday 26 February until Friday 7 March 2003
Locations: V2_groundfloor, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam
Calypso, Mauritsweg 5, Rotterdam
Pakhuis Las Palmas, Wilhelminakade 66-68 (Kop van Zuid), Rotterdam
Goethe-Institut, Westersingel 9, Rotterdam
The WOSEMA-progam is part of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival ‘DEAF03
Data Knitting’, organized by V2_, Institute for the Unstable Media. (25
February - 9 March 2003 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
WOSEMA includes the following program parts:
Seminar ‘Copy the Rights!’
26 February, 11:00 - 17:00 hours, Calypso.
Admission € 25,-
Discount (student, cjp, RotterdamPas, 65+) € 20,-.
‘Copy the Rights!’ is a seminar about copyright. It will address various
copyright aspects of digitizing and opening up archive collections or
databases (online), as well as the issue of copyright in a changing art
practice: unstable art projects that center around recycling and copying
material often arise out of collaborative efforts where the classic notion
of authorship no longer applies.
In a number of hands-on presentations some examples of ‘good practice’ will
be demonstrated.
Artists from both the Netherlands and abroad will present their activities
to the audience.
‘Copy the Rights!’ has invited a number of prominent foreign speakers to
inspire the debate on alternative copyright models copyleft, open source,
open content, open access and whether these may fit within the Dutch context.
Moderator: Paul Rutten, head of the Information and Communication unit of
TNO STB (NL).
The seminar will be in English.
Media Academy Day
27 February, 11:00 - 18:00 hours, Pakhuis Las Palmas, in the Arena.
Admission € 10,-
Discount (student, cjp, RotterdamPas, 65+) € 8,-.
The space of media art education begins to expand and cross ever-new
disciplinary borders. We see an explosion of educational methodologies and
structures. Both in the Netherlands and abroad, experimental educational
models are being tested, responding to transformations within the social,
economic and cultural domain where communication media play such a crucial
role. Five institutions from the Netherlands and Europe chosen for their
unique and innovative curricular models have been invited to present their
programs and discuss their concepts and methodologies. Students will be
invited to demonstrate their projects. Those creating the academic agenda
will participate in a public panel to discuss their vision and strategy.
Invited academies are:
School of Communication and the Arts, Malmö (S),
Bauhausuniversität Weimar (D),
Intermedia Dept., Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, Budapest (H),
Interaction Design Institute, Ivrea (I),
Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst, Zürich (CH),
Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam (NL)
The program is moderated by Geert Lovink (NL)
Workshops
During DEAF03 there will be a number of workshops that focus on the
transfer of knowledge and expertise, aiming to stimulate (inter)national
collaborative efforts. These workshops will treat DEAF03’s theme and
discuss various aspects of information design, information accessing, data
visualization, copyright issues and open-source software developments. The
workshops are intended for artists, producers and developers from various
segments of the cultural field and representatives of the scientific community.
Workshop ‘Media Knitting’, in collaboration with Exstream, as a European
Culture 2000 program.
A three-day hands-on workshop, the selection of participants is closed.
26 - 28 February, 12:00 - 22:00 hours, V2_ groundfloor.
Workshop presentation: 28 February, 20:00 - 22:00 hours, V2_ groundfloor
Admission free, reservations via ticketline
Collaboration between developers and artists from different disciplines
often results in merged media or new media formats. ‘Media Knitting’ is a
three-day hands-on workshop for artists, engineers, and designers working
with software to knit various media formats and applications together for
live or real-time interactive performances. The scope of the media used for
collaboration in ‘Media Knitting’ will include video, streaming media,
audio and 3D modelling. In this workshop thirty participants will work
together to discover and patch each other’s domains together by means of
software and human interaction. Several experts will be brought in from the
commercial software field for Mac and Windows as well as from the field of
‘open source’ and ‘free software’. The participants and the workshop
leaders will work together on the realisation of performances or media jam
sessions. The end result of the workshop will be presented in an informal
media concert open to the audience.
Workshop ‘Data Perception’
1 March, 13:00 - 17:00 hours, V2_ groundfloor.
Admission € 15,-.
As we’ve become more immersed in our digital environment, it occurs more
significant that data can not be seen as neutral entities: the atoms of
information acquire their meaning through contextualization and
visualization. The constantly changing dynamics of the digital context has
a tremendous impact on our experience. How can we master this constantly
changing data environments and knitting these qualities together into a new
single experience? Artists could question the shifting paradigms, and lead
the way into new representations and their readings. ‘Data Perception’
tries to get a grip on such aspects as navigation, retrieval and perception
in the field of multi dimensional environments; dynamic or static
information; familiar geometries or abstract topologies; and mapping data
spaces or assigning metadata.
‘Data Perception’ brings together diverse speakers who will present and
demonstrate their own project specific requirements and solutions:Julie
Tolmie (CDN), Ben Schouten (NL), Zoltán Szegedy-Maszák and Márton
Fernezelyi (H), Sheelagh Carpendale (CDN) and Brigit Lichtenegger(NL).
Presentations/debat ‘Data Quilting: XX Patterns in Media Practice and
Theory Salon-like event’.
2 March, 14:00 - 17:00 hours, V2_ groundfloor.
Admission € 8,-.
‘Data Quilting’ focusses specifically on gender issues in interdisciplinary
collaborations and technology networks. Before 1920 American women were not
allowed to vote and they had therefore been deprived of a public voice. The
action of quilting had literally been the text/ile for expressing
political, social and emotional positions. Nowadays quilts still signify
palimpsests of meanings, which make up a testimony of their makers and
time. One could argue that quilts are fabrics of knowledge: patches of data
stitched together in particular ways to form a coherent whole. ‘Data
Quilting’ considers the interstitial [inter/stitchial] information spaces,
where a collaborative effort is made to thread skills and knowledge
together. It wants to investigate which strategies women working in new
media apply to foster collaboration and spur interdisciplinary practice.The
major focus will be on identifying, testing, mapping, and exchanging patterns.
Moderator: Nat Muller (NL). Featured Guests a.o.: Michelle Teran (CDN),
Nina Czegledy (CDN), Sara Diamond (CDN), Sharon Daniel (USA), Susan Kozel
(CDN/GB), Thecla Schiphorst (CDN), Kristina Anderson (DK/GB), Anke Bangma (NL).
Presentations ‘Knitted Europe’, a ‘European Culture 2000’ program.
27 February, 13:00 - 18:00 hours, Goethe-Institut.
Admission free, reservations via ticketline
‘Knitted Europe’ will showcase a range of best practice projects that are
part of European programs like ‘Culture 2000’ and the ‘Information Society
Technologies Program (I.S.T.)’ that promote collaboration between European
art institutes and cultural organisations. These consortia will present
either work in progress or recently finished projects and share their
experiences with the audience. These projects are ‘Realtime and Presence’,
‘MIR Microgravity Interdisciplinary Research’, ‘Code Zebra’, ‘Virtual
Media Centre’, ‘Exstream’, ‘Worldinfo.com’, ‘Playing Field’, ‘Interfacing
Realities’ and ‘Worldinfo.com’.
A representative of the European Committee will comment on these programmes
and four institutes will then present their projects and discuss the
results with the audience. Dutch representatives of the programmes will
discuss the chances for European collaboration in the future. ‘Knitted
Europe’ is supported by the Goethe-Institut Rotterdam.
Masterclass ‘Collaborative Culture’, a ‘European Culture 2000’ program.
Part of a series of four master classes, called ‘Interfacing Realities’.
3 - 7 March, 11:00 - 18:00 hours, V2_ groundfloor.
Admission € 200,- Student discount € 100,-
For more information see also: www.v2.nl/Projects/interfacing_realities
Interdisciplinarity in current arts practice has several aspects. One of
them is within the medium itself: digitized mediums or modalities such as
sound, image, text, touch and gesture meld together. Another one is the
collaboration between disciplines, including the sciences, engineering,
technology, interdisciplinary arts and critical theory. The ‘Collaborative
Culture’ master class will analyse these two aspects in their relationship
with one another and with the emergent aesthetics within the culture of
online communities.
Sher Doruff, a digital artist, will guide ten participants.This master
class is part of a series of four master classes, called ‘Interfacing
Realities’. They focus on new concepts for information management in
general, and the usage and creation of databases and archives in
contemporary art practices in particular.

PROGRAM TWO Digital Video Detournement
February 8,2003 7pm
Digital Video Détournement is a selection of works by radical cultural
workers and experimental video makers critiquing various coercive forces and
systems. Using desktop editing techniques mixed with humorous direction
many of these makers appropriate work, divert and re-edit it as a way to
register their dissent or to create something surreal. Described as tactical
mediaticians, culture jammers, troublemakers, media activists and humorists,
these makers create works that are a sampling of the digital video
underground that is impacting our cultures during a time of global crisis.
GNN [ S-11 (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse ]
2001, Video, Color, Approx 12 min.
Culled from over 20 hours of television footage recorded over a one month
period and across 13 networks, S-11 Redux is a sound-bite blitzkrieg that
challenges the messages we have been fed from our mainstream media and the
government it serves. Be warned - this video moves quickly and will require
at least two viewings to digest its full impact. You may never be able to
look at the coverage of S-11 and its post-impact coverage the same way, ever
again.

LINER NOTES
Music has always been a craft of borrowing. In traditional, or folk, music,
melodies and lyrics were handed down from generation to generation. At every
stage, musicians would change the tune or substitute words at will, adapting
songs to their own situations.
Like their predecessors, the artists featured here have drawn from the music
around them--whether by borrowing a guitar riff or taking a digital
sample--to create something new. But unlike their folk ancestors, they all
run the risk of getting sued.
Two technologies, separated by centuries, have brought us to this point.
First, writing and printing gave birth to the composer and the idea that a
single person could own a piece of music. Second, sound recording allowed
music performances to be stored and replayed--again, permitting an
individual (or a company) to claim it as property.
These two kinds of musical property are reflected in present-day copyright
law: "publishing rights" apply to the ownership of written music and "master
rights" apply to the ownership of a recording of that music. When you use a
portion of someone else's recording of a song, you need permission from the
publisher and "clearance" from the owner of that recording. When you record
without these permissions--and the exorbitant fees that go with them--you're
in trouble. Not surprisingly, only a few musicians, like Puff Daddy and
Fatboy Slim, can afford to sample legally.
For our culture to be a space for free expression and for creativity to
flourish, audio artists must be able to build on bits and pieces of
preexisting music. While the "fair use" doctrine allows artists to
appropriate other works, it does so only in cases of commentary or parody.
Fair use doesn't apply to the majority of "second-takers," those artists who
reuse sounds without directly referring to the original.
Most of these tracks would never have existed if the artists had adhered to
copyright law. Many other works might never be heard unless we act soon to
grant artists the right to create them.
Negativland
"U2: Special Edit Radio Mix"
The story behind this track and why it is officially "unavailable" is
perhaps one of the best-known cases of a corporate giant record company
crushing obscure artists in the name of intellectual property. In summary,
U2¹s label, Island Records, sued Negativland and SST Records for trademark
and copyright infringement. The resulting fiasco inspired Negativland to
publish a book, Fair Use, which meticulously documents the entire affair.
Negativland is now a tireless advocate of relaxing copyright laws and has
often helped other artists fight off litigation; many major labels now
understand that messing with Negativland will almost certainly result in bad
publicity.
Biz Markie*
"Alone Again"
Gilbert O¹Sullivan¹s 1991 lawsuit against Biz Markie for the uncleared use
of 20 seconds from O¹Sullivan¹s "Alone Again (Naturally)" was a major
turning point in the evolution of hip-hop. Markie lost the case; the judge
told him, verbatim, "Thou shalt not steal." With that, the era of carefree
sampling was over. Sample-heavy albums in the vein of Public Enemy¹s It
Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back or the Beastie Boys¹ Paul¹s
Boutique became impossibly expensive and difficult to release. Many artists
continued to sample but retreated into using more and more obscure source
material.
People Like Us
"Swinglargo"
England¹s People Like Us (a.k.a. Vicki Bennett) hasn¹t been sued yet,
perhaps because most of her source materials are obscure. Her work is almost
100% uncleared samples.
Culturcide*
"They Aren¹t the World"
In 1987 a group of artists based in Houston took the name Culturcide and
released a record called Tacky Souvenirs of Pre-Revolutionary America. The
album had no information about who was in Culturcide or how to contact
themperhaps because what they had done could have gotten them into legal
trouble. Each track on the record is a pop hit with new lyrics recorded
crudely over the top, sometimes with bits of noisy guitar added on. The new
words are extremely pointed criticisms of the music industry.
The Evolution Control Committee
"Rocked by Rape"
Built from AC/DC¹s "Back in Black" and snippets from Dan Rather newscasts,
this piece was released as a single in 1999 by Eerie Materials but then
withdrawn under threat of litigation from CBS.
Beastie Boys*
"Rock Hard"
The Beastie Boys released this as a single in 1985, and it quickly went out
of print. The song was to reappear on their 1999 The Sounds of Science
anthology, but they had to cut it after AC/DC refused permission for the use
of "Back in Black." Beasties member Mike D reportedly talked to the band
personally on the phone: "AC/DC could not get with the sample concept. They
were just like, ONothing against you guys, but we just don¹t endorse
sampling.¹"
Dummy Run
"f.d"
British collagists Dummy Run make their music almost completely from other
music. Taken from their 1996 album Pink Rocket, this piece is a
self-reflective glimpse at some of the issues involved in sampling.
John Oswald
"black"
Oswald constructed this piece out of a dizzying array of James Brown
samples, partially as a commentary on just how often Brown¹s work has been
reused by others. The track originally appeared on his 1989 CD
Plunderphonic, which brought Oswald threats of legal action from the
Canadian Recording Industry Association. He eventually was forced to
relinquish all remaining copies of the disc, which were then physically
destroyed. Despite all this, the album has become a cult classic in the
genre of sample-based music.
Corporal Blossom
"White Christmas"
This track, which originally appeared on A Mutated Christmas (Illegal Art,
2001), combines various recordings of the classic Christmas carol. None of
the samples have been cleared. If Corporal Blossom were forced to pay for
all of them, the track would have to disappear.
Tape-beatles
"Reality of Matter"
The Tape-beatles¹ goal since their inception in 1987 has been to explore the
potential of making music without musical instruments, using only recording
technology. They also believe that "recontextualization of previously
Ofinished¹ works can be done ethically and can in itself constitute
authorship." This example of their work comes from their 1999 disc Good
Times.
Public Enemy
"Psycho of Greed"
This unreleased track was recorded for PE¹s latest CD, Revolverution. It
contains a sample of the Beatles¹ song "Tomorrow Never Knows." The clearance
fee demanded by Capitol Records and the surviving Beatles was so high that
PE decided to pull the track from the album.
The Verve*
"Bittersweet Symphony"
This hit pop song uses a sample from a string arrangement of "The Last Time"
by the Rolling Stones. The Verve had trouble getting a licensing agreement
from the Stones¹ publisher, Alan Klein, who said, "I don¹t agree with
sampling as a matter of principle, and certainly not on a Stones song."
(This is a strange stance, given that the Stones launched their career with
covers of blues songs without compensating the original artists.) Eventually
Klein gave in, but only after the Verve agreed to sign over all royalties to
"Bittersweet Symphony" to the Stones. Later, when Nike approached the Verve
about using the song in a commercial, the band refused. Nike then approached
Klein about recording a cover version, since he owned the publishing rights.
When members of the Verve found out about this, they agreed to let Nike use
their version and donated their fee to charity. "The last thing in the world
I wanted was for one of my songs to be used in a commercial," said Richard
Ashcroft of the Verve. "I¹m still sick about it. But it could have been
worse. If we didn¹t fight for the song, OSymphony¹ would have ended up in a
cheeseburger ad and no one could ever have taken our record seriously
again."
Wobbly
"Clawing Your Eyes Out Down to Your Throat"
>From Wobbly¹s Playlist (Illegal Art, 2001), this song contains samples from
a variety of sources, including several Johnny Cash songs. Like many
sample-based works that don¹t explicitly criticize the source material, this
track would probably not be defendable in court as Fair Use.
De La Soul*
"Transmitting Live from Mars"
This track, from the album 3 Feet High and Rising, samples a song by the
1960s band The Turtles, which sued De La Soul in 1989 and won a judgment of
$1.7 million. For its next album, De La Soul made sure to clear all samples,
which cost a total of $100,000.
Buchanan and Goodman*
"The Flying Saucer"
Released in 1956, this record is probably the first successful use of
"sampling" in popular music. It was done with magnetic tape, as digital
technology did not yet exist. Dickie Goodman and Bill Buchanan edited
together this alien invasion skit out of popular songs, for which they were
sued for multiple copyright infringements. Their record label came to an
agreement with the publishers of the original songs, and the record went on
to sell close to a million copies, spawning a whole genre of "break-in" or
"snippet" records. The hit record also served to boost sales of the sampled
songs, and spurred interest in their creators, many of whom were
African-American singers whose original renditions had never been heard by a
mainstream (white) audience. Ironically, a recently released retrospective
CD of Goodman¹s work substitutes an alternative version of "Flying Saucer"
(with reworked snippets) for the original, most likely due to licensing
problems.
The JAMs*
"The Queen and I"
The iconoclastic Justified Ancients of Mu Mu released their first album in
1987, called 1987: What the Fuck¹s Going On? It included many tracks that
contained uncleared samples of popular music, but this one got them into
particular trouble when they were sued by the Swedish group Abba for using
almost all of "Dancing Queen." The album was deleted and remaining copies
destroyed. The record¹s original label read: "All sounds on this recording
have been captured by The JAMs in the name of Mu. We hereby liberate these
sounds from all copyright restrictions, without prejudice." (The JAMs are
also known as the KLF, which stands for Kopyright Liberation Front.)
Elastica*
"Connection"
The British punk band Wire thought the main guitar riff from this song
sounded too similar to its "Three Girl Rhumba," released in the 70s. In
1995, Wire threatened Elastica with legal action, and the matter was settled
out of court.
Steinski & Mass Media*
"The Motorcade Sped On"
Steven Stein created this cut-up of Kennedy assassination coverage. His
label, Tommy Boy, was unable to officially release it because CBS refused to
grant clearance for the use of Walter Cronkite¹s voice. It was instead
released as a white label 12-inch single in 1986.
Invisibl Skratch Piklz*
white label edit
The Piklz are a special sort of band composed of a rotating lineup of
hip-hop DJs, including Q-bert, Mixmaster Mike, and Shortcut. These highly
skilled turntablists scratch out songs together live, each using a record
and a record player as an instrument, each contributing, in real time, a
different part (like drums, bass line, or horn stabs) to the music. This
track comes from a 12-inch record pressed and circulated in 1996 with no
information (a "white label"). Hip-hop and dance records often appear in
this limited, underground manner and then vanish forever, never to be
officially released due to copyright issues.
Xper.Xr
"Wu-chu-tung"
Originally from Hong Kong and now based in London, Xper.Xr adds his own
personal accompaniment to EMF¹s pop hit "Unbelievable." From his album Lun
Hsiao Shai (Vaseline).
Boone Bischoff
"Happy Birthday To You"
Yes, the song the entire Western world sings at birthday parties is actually
owned by a large corporation, and every time someone sings it in public
without permission, it is an infringement of copyright. The song¹s tune was
published by schoolteachers Mildred and Patty Hill in 1893 as "Good Morning
to All" in their book Song Stories for the Kindergarten. Children began
singing it at birthday parties but with words they came up with themselves,
which is how folk music typically develops. Nevertheless, the songlyrics
and allis now owned by AOL Time Warner, the largest entertainment company
on earth, and the corporation aggressively defends its property.

Constructed Life: Scenarios of Fiction
among computer games, cyber-sex, nanobytes and robotic arts
One impact of global medias on culture and economy, on politics and
society is the progressive substitution of the mechanisms of the social
construction of reality by the mechanisms of the media construction of
reality. The media are not only fields of action but also the
constructors of prescriptions for the action. «How to make things with
media»: thatís the performative turn of media society.
>From laptop-music to the standardized entertainments industry, from the
computer game to genetic engineering, from the daily «chat» in the
Internet to the use of intelligent tools, we see the increase of
constructibility and artificiality. Whether in business and in
correspondence, whether in leisure time or in private relationships ?
for their organization we use the virtual data space.
This year the \\international\media\art\award wants to know from artists
all over the world: How do you see the «Constructed Life»? What is your
vision of our future? Where are the chances and dangers of this
development?

(for a German video description and a video still please scroll down)
The video "Disobbedienti" thematizes the Disobbedienti's origins,
political bases, and forms of direct action on the basis of
conversations with seven members of the movement.
The Disobbedienti emerged from the Tute Bianche during the
demonstrations against the G8 summit in Genoa in July 2001. The "Tute
Bianche" were the white-clad Italian activists who used their bodies -
protected by foam rubber, tires, helmets, gas masks, and homemade
shields - in direct acts and demonstrations as weapons of civil
disobedience. The Tute Bianche first appeared in Italy in 1994 in the
midst of a social setting in which the "mass laborer," who had played a
central role in the 1970s in production and in labor struggles, was
gradually replaced in the transition to precarious post-Fordist means of
production. By forcing the closing of detention camps through specially
developed acts of dismantling the Tute Bianche became involved in
protests against precarious working conditions and the immigrants'
struggle for freedom of movement. The Tute Bianche were part of the
demonstration against the WTO in Seattle in 1999 and the IMF in Prague
in 2000. They sent delegates to the Lakandon rainforest in Chiapas and
accompanied the Zapatist Comandantes 3,000 kilometers to Mexico City.
At the G8 summit in Genoa the Tute Bianche decided to take off their
trademark white overalls that had given them their name and instead
blend in the multitude of 300,000 demonstration participants. The
transition from the Tute Bianche to the Disobbedienti, the disobedients,
also marked a development from "civil disobedience" to "social
disobedience." The repressive actions and massacre by the police force
in Genoa brought the practice of social disobedience in from the streets
to the most diverse social realms. In the video, the Disobbedienti
spokesperson Luca Casarini describes the Tute Bianche as a subjective
experience and a small army, whereas Disobbedienti is a multitude and a
movement.
Disobbedienti maintains the political form of the Tute Bianche and
attempts to create a better legal justice for and from the people.
Spectacular actions are still being carried out against detention
centers, such as the dismantling of the detention camp in the Via Mattei
in Bologna on 25 January 2002, as shown in the video. Additionally,
attempts are being made to further develop "social disobedience" as a
collective practice of various groups, to block the flows of goods and
communication, to make general the strikes of individual groups, and to
plan and carry out general strikes.
The conversations with the Disobbedienti were carried out in Italian in
Bologna and Genoa in July 2002. There are two versions of the video
"Disobbedienti," one with German and one with English subtitles.

D e u t s c h :
Das Video "Disobbedienti" thematisiert die Entstehungsgeschichte, die
politischen Grundlagen und die Aktionsformen der Bewegung der
Disobbedienti (die Ungehorsamen) anhand von Gesprächen mit sieben
Beteiligten.
Die Disobbedienti gingen während der Demonstrationen gegen den G8-Gipfel
im Juli 2001 in Genua aus den Tute Bianche hervor. "Tute Bianche" war
die Bezeichnung für jene weiß gekleideten AktivistInnen aus Italien, die
ihre durch Schaumstoff, Reifen, Helme, Gasmasken und selbst gemachte
Schilde geschützten Körper bei direkten Aktionen und Demonstrationen als
Waffe des zivilen Ungehorsams einsetzten. 1994 traten die Tute Bianche
erstmals in Italien in einem gesellschaftlichen Umfeld in Erscheinung,
in dem der in den 70er Jahren in der Produktion und in Arbeitskämpfen
eine zentrale Rolle spielende "Massenarbeiter" schrittweise durch
prekäre postfordistische Beschäftigungsformen abgelöst worden war. Die
Tute Bianche beteiligten sich an Protesten gegen prekarisierte
Arbeitsbedingungen und am Kampf der MigrantInnen für Bewegungsfreiheit,
indem sie mit der speziell entwickelten Aktionsform der Demontage die
Schließung von Abschiebelagern erzwangen. Die Tute Bianche waren Teil
der Demonstrationen gegen die WTO in Seattle 1999 und den IWF in Prag
2000, entsandten Delegationen in den Lakandonischen Regenwald in Chiapas
und begleiteten die zapatistischen Comandantes 3000 Kilometer weit nach
Mexiko-Stadt.
Beim G8-Gipfel in Genua beschlossen die Tute Bianche, die
identitätsstiftenden und namensgebenden weißen Overalls abzulegen, um in
der Multitude der 300.000 DemoteilnehmerInnen aufzugehen. Der Übergang
von den Tute Bianche zu den Disobbedienti, den Ungehorsamen, ist auch
eine Entwicklung vom "zivilen Ungehorsam" zum "sozialen Ungehorsam".
Durch das repressive Vorgehen und die Massaker der Polizeikräfte in
Genua wurde die Praxis des sozialen Ungehorsams von der Straße in die
verschiedensten gesellschaftlichen Bereiche hineingetragen. Der
Disobbedienti-Sprecher Luca Casarini beschreibt daher im Video die Tute
Bianche als subjektive Erfahrung und kleine Armee, die Disobbedienti
hingegen als Multitude und Bewegung.
Die Disobbedienti setzen die Politikform der Tute Bianche fort und
versuchen, eine gerechtere Legalität von unten zu schaffen. Es werden
weiterhin spektakuläre Aktionen gegen Abschiebelager durchgeführt, wie
die im Video gezeigte Demontage des Abschiebelagers in der Via Mattei in
Bologna am 25. Januar 2002. Dazu kommen Versuche, den "sozialen
Ungehorsam" als kollektive Praxis unterschiedlicher Gruppen
weiterzuentwickeln, Waren- und Kommunikationsflüsse zu blockieren,
Streiks einzelner Gruppen zu generalisieren, Generalstreiks zu planen
und durchzuführen.
Die Gespräche mit den Disobbedienti wurden im Juli 2002 in Bologna und
Genua auf Italienisch geführt. Das Video "Disobbedienti" gibt es mit
deutscher und englischer Untertitelung.

Subject: BitParts Digital Art Festival
FACT presents BitParts, a series of seven newly commissioned digital arts projects by leading British and international artists. The works will be premiered in venues across the West Midlands between February and April 2003.
These projects include:
Paul Sermon’s interactive Peace Talks and Gair Dunlop & Dan Norton's Console, a modern, stripped down version of a control room open at Worcester Museum and Art Gallery, 1 February - 1 March. Paul Sermon’s piece presents an absurdist virtual theatre in which the
performer/users unwittingly participate in a simulated peace talks conference.
Dunlop and Norton’s joint project explores the ‘Industrial Sublime’, in which mighty technological forces are seen to be the powerhouse of the workplace.
Lucy Kimbell unveils The Most Beautiful Thing in the Gallery, her interactive installation at New Art Gallery, Walsall, 14 February – 30 March. She takes as her point of departure the commonly held view that art’s value is in accordance with its beauty. Presenting us with statements defining beauty, her artwork is essentially a 3-D questionnaire where our response to the title of the work is registered by a hidden computer, which aggregates our replies and calculates a score, effectively issuing a performance rating for the piece.
Austrian artist Herwig Weiser will be presenting a major new work, The Intimator at The Custard Factory, Birmingham, 28 February – 15 March. This project continues the artist’s exploration into the representation and reinterpretation of the raw stock that fires new technologies by creating a remarkable sound sculpture containing reactive magnetic substances modulated via a live internet based sound source.
Ken Feingold’s animatronic installation, Animal, Vegetable, Mineral (Virtual); and Alison Craighead and Jon Thomson’s internet-based Weather Gauge open at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, 8 March - 26 April. Feingold’s latest project features three virtual characters whose personality, vocabulary, habits and obsessions are embodiments of ways of thinking about human nature and violence. Weather Gauge is a deceptively simple installation which presents live-linked information publicly accessible via a world weather site. Numerical weather data from over 150 countries is projected on the gallery wall accompanied by a soundtrack arranged from web radio streams. By re-presenting this found material, the artists hope to produce ‘an hypnotic abstraction of what in reality amounts to just a grid of numbers, place names and songs.’
BitParts also includes a series of internet TV programmes by artists Geoff Broadway, Jose Ferreira and the collective C21 Vox’s. These will broadcast on the Superchannel network (www.superchannel.org).
BitParts is supported by regional arts board, West Midlands Arts, who are committed to developing digital arts practice in the region and to supporting the infrastructure for future commissioning and exhibition.
FACT was selected by West Midlands Arts, to commission and manage this important digital arts initiative, in recognition of FACT’s expertise in this area. FACT is the UK’s leading agency for the commissioning, production and presentation of artists’ film, video and new media, and in February 2003 opens the FACT Centre, a major new centre for film, art and creative technology, in Liverpool.
BitParts also coincides with Metapod, an annual showcase of innovative, experimental digital media arts in Birmingham, 28 February – 3 March 2003.
BitParts also presents a series of artists’ talks and seminars exploring the range of issues and ideas suggested by these artworks, such as artificial intelligence and creative developments in streaming media.
Ken Feingold is in conversation at the Music Hall, Shrewsbury, 8 March at 2.00pm.
Paul Sermon is in conversation at Worcester Museum and Art Gallery, 8 February at 2.00pm.

ART IN OUTPUT 2003: lost and found
Festival on the intersection of art, technology and society
=20
February 17 - March 2
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
=20
http://www.artinoutput.nl
=20
ART IN OUTPUT is a biennial festival in the field of art, technology, =
and society. The Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and its over 6000 =
students constitutes a unique supportive environment for the festival.=20
Technology is an increasingly common aspect of modern art. The merge of =
art and technology in ART IN OUTPUT has the unusual benefit of being =
embedded in an environment of advanced technological research and =
education.
=20
ART IN OUTPUT 2003: lost and found takes a look at data files as if they =
were objects from the lost and found department of an airport or railway =
station. Once upon a time the suitcase was part of a meaningful context: =
the life of its owner. Having been found but not collected, it becomes a =
fragment that can be given any desired function or meaning by an =
outsider. =20
The heart of the festival is a major exhibition of media art. Other =
elements of the festival are the seminar lost data, a continuous video =
program, the multimedia theatre show Chinese Whispers and a film night.=20
A special feature of the festival is the Hidden Track project.
=20

=20
Exhibition of interactive art installations
February 17 - March 2
=20
People are collectors. What started as a necessity, gathering food to =
survive the winter, has become a goal in itself. The collecting craze =
has many faces, from chaotic kitchen drawers full of rubbish to neatly =
organized stamp collections. In the digital era all practical barriers =
for collecting have disappeared. We can store almost anything as digital =
data, and that's exactly what we do; wanted and unwanted, conscious and =
unconscious.
=20
The interactive installations at the ART IN OUTPUT exhibition reflect =
the data-collection-craze of the digital era in their own unique ways. =
The tricky questions remain the same: How do you visualize data? How do =
you ever find anything? How can you get rid of your collection? Or how =
do you create even more data? And what about privacy?
=20
The following works are exhibited:

Hidden Track
A mobile multimedia installation.
February 26 - March 2
A bus is useful but can be rather dull. It takes groups of people from A =
to B, but as a passenger you can do little else but stare straight ahead =
while underway. Looking out of the window many images flash by - =
stimulations of the retina. Now imagine the bus commenting on what you =
see. Imagine it providing you with background information. This would =
turn your bus ride into an audiovisual experience!
Hidden Track is a bus containing a multimedia installation that during =
the ride responds to its surroundings; location, speed and acceleration =
generate a continuous flow of sounds inside the bus. Sounds that tell =
you about the surroundings and your journey.
Between February 26 and March 2, Hidden Track will function as a shuttle =
service between the DEAF festival in Rotterdam, and the ART IN OUTPUT =
festival in Eindhoven. Tickets for the trip can be bought at both =
festivals.
Hidden Track is a co production of ART IN OUTPUT and DEAF03, and is =
realized by artists' collective e-Xplo (USA).
=20
Chinese Whispers
February 26-28
=20
Chinese Whispers is a musical theater performance consisting of =
compositions by Nora Crane, Alison Isadora, Christoph Maria Wagner, =
Harry de Wit and Yorrit Tamminga, that are performed as one coherent =
entity
Chinese Whispers takes its lead from the children's game where a message =
is passed on by whispering, and the content of the message slowly =
changes. Here, it is the composers whispering their message to the light =
designer, and the light designer to the video-artist, and so on.
Chinese Whispers is a theatrical performance of five compositions, in =

Overview
The FreeNetworks Conference (FN-CON) 2003 is focused on
giving the public an in-depth look into the the fast growing
worldwide movement of Community Wireless Networking (CWN).
In the past few years, these decentralized, non-commercial
networks have gained world recognition and populist support
as the adoption of the IEEE Standard for wireless ethernet,
802.11b, more commonly known as WiFi has gained ground.
FN-CON will show you how these networks started, the
directions they are taking, and provide you with enough
technical knowledge to bootstrap your own networking group.
FN-CON aims to gather the experts and implementors in
community wireless networking groups from across the globe,
innovators from the wired community and municipal networks,
and the technologists designing the hardware for future
phases of this amazing movement for a conference like no
other.
The conference will combine overviews of the technologies
and motivations, status reports from the frontline, and
in-depth coverage of implementation details that provide the
conference attendee with the knowledge to bootstrap their
own CWN in their locale.
The conference will start with one day of in-depth, hands-on
tutorial. Attendees will leave the tutorial with a working
piece of hardware that they can build, configure and
replicate for use in their own community wireless network.
The second and third day will be done in standard fashion
with multiple tracks and multiple speakers on each track.
Purpose
Bring together both wireless and wired FreeNetworks
participants.
Educate people on the benefits and impact of FreeNetworks.
Enable people to use available technologies (802.11b and
others) and to prepare for future technologies.
Showcase the status of FreeNetworks worldwide and learn from
the experience of the early adopters.
Discuss upcoming social, political and technological
developments that affect the FreeNetworks movement.
Where
Alexis Park Resort - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
When June 6-8, 2003

Press Release
"Le Musee di-visioniste"
www.le-musee-divisioniste.org
is happy to launch
its latest online showcase
within the 'Featured artists' series,
entitled
"MasterPlan"
net-based art works
******************************************
The exhibition is open from
30 January 2003 and will run until May/June 2003,
but will be available online for permanent afterwards
******************************************
"Edition 06 of Featured Artists series, entitled
"MasterPlan" is featuring following artists:
1. Daniel Young, USA
2. Patrick Simons/Kate Southworth, UK
3. jimpunk, France
4. Dan Norton, Scotland
5. Nicolas Clauss, France
********************************************
"MasterPlan"
represents an exhibition reporting about five most individual artists'
personalities each one following a strong individual conception:
a "MasterPlan" determining the course of events.
Daniel Young,
collects in his generative project "NewZoid"
continously daily news,
chops them up and endlessly reassembles the pieces into absurd,
funny, shocking and thought-provoking headlines,
resulting a kind of "infotherapy".
The artists Patrick Simons and Kate Southworth
investigate in their collaborative project
"Glorious Ninth"
the material world and communicate their findings
using many different approaches to 'knowing'.
jimpunk explores in his >www.nowar.nogame.or-project<
controlling and the hypnotic feeling
of being contolled and helpless.
Dan Norton opens in his generative project
"ablab" interactive fields and
lets the users search for the limits
of 2D-interactivity.
Nicolas Claus collects in his "Flying Puppet" project
examples of human entaglements.
The selection of the four
works <The Cry, The Sleepers,
Trauma and Before the night>
shows the artist/user as the "Creator" holding
the human individual (like a puppet on string)
who remains unable to escape from the "MasterPlan".
******************************************
The exhibition "MasterPlan"
is curated and created by Agricola de Cologne.

BANQUETE
international traveling exhibition
Palau de la Virreina, Barcelona (January/March 2003)
ZKM - Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe (May/August 2003)
Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Madrid (September/November 2003)
Concept and direction:
Karin Ohlenschläger / Luis Rico
Curators:
Iván de la Nuez / Karin Ohlenschläger / Luis Rico / Peter Weibel
Humanity is made up of an irregular tapestry of relations involving six
thousand million individuals who are co-evolving within an ecosystem of
limited resources. The complexity of contemporary experience, and the
diversity of sensibilities and outlooks mingling within this tapestry,
together with the vertiginous process of transformation in which we are
immersed on a global scale, have generated countless tensions and
uncertainties. "Their comprehension requires us to overcome lineal and
monosectorial technical schemas to arrive at a totally different
hermeneutics if we wish to approach this new reality". (José Vidal Beneyto).
In this context, banquete has been conceived of as an exploratory and
open conversation between art, science, thought and society. A
conversation understood as a process in which information and values,
experiences, knowledge and meanings flow, mingle and act reciprocally;
in which they are revealed by means of a metabolic process that
synthesises and transforms the abstract ingredients and materials that
shape daily experience. [...]
The project banquete formulates the analogy between metabolism and
communication as a productive mechanism that makes it possible to carry
out a critical, and also propositional analysis of the models and
instruments that govern flows of food and information; study the
possible extrapolation of dynamics, processes and structures from one
field to another, for the purpose of determining some of the symptoms -
tensions, dysfunctions, contradictions, interferences or abuses, among
others - and also the potentialities that characterise a global
metabolic process that includes materials, information and energy, as
well as people, symbols, ideas and emotions.
Likewise, banquete proposes to establish relations between different
metabolic scales that range from endosomatic processes in the spheres of
physics, biology and the cognitive sciences, to social, political,
economic and cultural dimensions, interpreted as a species of
exosomatic, collective metabolism.
Overall, the aim of banquete is to articulate a choral seismograph
capable of registering new transdisciplinary cartographies; explore and
develop a multidimensional and interdependent dialogical vision of
interconnected processes, and try out new ways of thinking and
perceiving the world.

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!, 38 min, 2002
This video records a banned march against the World Economic Forum that
took place in Salzburg in July 2001.
The central theme of this documentary is the suspension of a basic
democratic right, that of protest, and reflection on the physical and
structural violence exercised by state power, and which in this case
took the shape of a seven-hour police siege of around 900 people.
The video also alludes to media manipulation, the tendency to
criminalise any expression of dissidence whilst legitimising a
supranational economic and financial structure that, although not
instituted democratically, nevertheless exercises power of decision over
millions of people all over the world.
