Using the model of the Network as a platform for distribution, Future_body
Version 1.0 explores the separation of the corporeal world implied by the
use of telecommunications technology. While viewing this work through the
window of the web browser the viewer gains access to the female-body only
as it is situated within the immaterial domain of Cyberspace. The wireframe
model of the female-body is mapped as a series of links: this hypertextual
outline of an engendered body becomes increasingly fragmented and coded
while transferred over the network and displayed on a computer monitor.
Because the wire-frame model is designed for anonymous application as well
as mass distribution: once it has been uploaded into the virtual realm of
the internet, it becomes accessible to anyone, anywhere at anytime. Thus,
the female figure is everywhere and nowhere at all, invisible yet
infinately replicable.

You are reading the second issue of the Ars Electronica newsletter,
focusing on the winners of the Prix Ars Electronica 99
(http://prixars.orf.at). With a record number of 2119 entries this year,
the Prix Ars Electronica 99, conducted by ORF Upper Austria, has been
decided.

German version of this announcement at http://www.aec.at/lifescience

1.1 Prix Ars Electronica 99
....................................

The Prix Ars Electronica is an interdisciplinary platform for all those
who employ the computer as a universal creative medium in their artistic
work. This award for outstanding achievement in the digital arts has been
awarded annually since 1987 by the Austrian National Broadcasting
Company's Upper Austrian Regional Studio. For over 10 years, it has been
an integral part of the Ars Electronica Festival. The Prix Ars Electronica
is not only considered one of the world's most important prizes for
creativity and pioneering spirit in the field of media art; with yearly
awards totaling over $116,000, donated by Siemens the monetary stipend
accompanying the prizes is also the world's most generous. Entries were
sent to Linz from 60 countries. Participation by artists, scientists,
researchers and professionals from the field of entertainment shows that
the Prix Ars Electronica, now in its 13th edition, is once again the
outstanding presentation forum for international cyberarts today. The
competition is made possible through sponsorship from the Austrian Postal
Bank (P.S.K.), Datakom Austria, VOEST-ALPINE STEEL, and through support
from the City of Linz, the Province of Upper Austria, and Gerhard
Andlinger & Company.

This year, three monetary prizes have been awarded in each of the .net,
Interactive Art and Digital Musics competition categories, and six in the
section Computer Animation / Visual Effects. That means 5 Golden Nicas and
10 Awards of Distinction. In addition, as many as 12 Honorary Mentions
were named in each competition category. And in 1999, the Prix Ars
Electronica's standard categories have been augmented for the second time
by an unconventional one: cybergeneration - u19 freestyle computing is
aimed at young artists in Austria under age 19, and is open to all
activities and projects that have been produced or designed by computer in
any way at all.

The Prix Ars Electronica 99 awards presentation will be held in
conjunction with the Ars Electronica Festival on Monday, September 6, 1999
at the ORF Upper Austrian Regional Studio.

The best works from each category will be shown in an exhibition at the
O.K Center for Contemporary Art in Linz, beginning September 4, 1999.

1.2 Jury
....................................

In each category, all entries were judged by a jury of experts.  Chairman
of the jury as a whole (without a vote): ORF Information Director Dr.
Hannes Leopoldseder, whose original idea led to the initiation of the Prix
Ars Electronica in 1987.

This year En Red 0 is dedicated to sound and music related to Soundscapes.
We use the therm soundscape as used by World Soundscape Project comunity
>or Music Department of Simon Frazer University. they take it from Murray
>Shaffer's therminology. soundscape is a sonic landscape, the whole set of
>sonic informations which can reach your conscience in a given
>environmental context. you can also see it as the whole set of sonic
>objects (in therminology of Pierre Schaeffer) in a given environmental
>context.
>
Talks and discussions are combined with chill-out sessions (about 6-8 hours
per day) in calm cool space (Mirador of the Center) . People can come an go
at any time and listen what is on in any moment or come for a particular
request, listening to a particular wotc, etc.
This means that there is not live performance programmed. Anyhow, we are
also interested in live projects as we program other events along the year,
so your information about them is welcome even if we cannot accept them for
En Red 0.

Subject:  ann! ...  Call for Participation for special edition of Bastard

29.5.99

Call for Participation for:
A special edition of Bastard produced in response to the war in Yugoslavia

An independent coalition of writers, publishers and critics are producing a
free newspaper which seeks to create an insight into the manifold responses
engendered by the the war in Yugoslavia.  We are calling for input from
those interested in helping create a vehicle of reflection, a method of
amplifying the voices of the observers in this crisis.

Apologies to anyone who receives this message more than once.


War without a cause?

If there is a feeling shared by most who witness these days of war in
Yugoslavia, it is the feeling of historical impotence. Seven weeks of war
has turned us into mere spectators, watching the tough guys play chicken.
The war drive goes on and on, the edge of the cliff gets nearer and nearer.
We watch in fascination, but nobody puts on the brakes.

Is there really nothing we can do? Are the home-viewers really the last
consulted on this war and the first to be defeated in it? Is there any
deeper humiliation for all of us?

History humiliates those who see no sense in it. Blindness to the meaning
of a historical event renders helpless those history challenges. Or as
Hegel said somewhere, "hell is truth seen too late."

The course of history isn't decided only by those who imagine they occupy
the driver's seat. It was Kant who stressed, two hundreds years ago, the
dignity of the so-called passive audience. The truth of an event is not
decided by its protagonists, but by its witnesses. It's us armchair
passengers who observe what passes, and decide what passed.

The vector that connects camera-tipped missiles and eye witness accounts
uplinked by satellite to millions of eyeballs around the world, might seem
to create more and more mere passive observers, but it also creates more
and more witnesses to history, and participants in its assessment and
recording.

We, the so called passive audience, today more then ever, should be again
aware of our historical dignity. To "do something" doesn't always mean to
engage oneself in the concrete practical situation. To grasp the meaning of
historical events, can have an impact on them which could be even more
decisive than a practical involvement.

There are too many warriors among pacifists, too many humanitarian
activists among generals, to many politicians among criminals, and too much
stupidity among the smart bombs. To reflect upon all this won't immediately
stop anything, but it can help us to open our eyes to the dangers and
perspectives of the reawakened history we are now faced with.

There is never enough time -- for an accurate knowledge of the history of
the region, for reliable, balanced, confirmed information, for an instant
theory which explains it all, or for an ideology to be led by.  Godot never
arrives, even in Sarajevo. But we can do the best we can.

Therefore, we propose to collect what we already have, to produce a
publication -- on paper as well as on the net.  We are inviting expressions
of interest for another kind of effort -- the effort of the observer,
trying, despite the odds, to render fair witness.

Acknowledging the wealth of the critical and anecdotal texts produced in
response to the unfolding circumstances in Yugoslavia, the publication aims
to draw together critiques, essays, and analyses, as well as important
historical documents, reports from the ground, artists responses, letters,
diaries, protests, petitions, addresses, and URLs - all essential to
creating a candid a picture of the situation: the juridical, as well as the
moral one

Arkzin, the Croatian magazine originating from the anti-war movement in
1991-92 (http://www.arkzin.com), has taken the initiative to design and
produce this one-off coalition newspaper. Their graphic accomplishments are
widely acknowledged. Boris Buden, responsible for Arkzin's critical theory
section, "Bastard," will be a key part of the coordination of the
publication.

The newspaper will be published in two locations: Zagreb (for Central and
Eastern Europe), and Amsterdam (for Western Europe).It will be in English,
printed in tabloid format, and will be approximately 40-60 pages. The
publication will also be available as PDF files for anyone to download and
print.

Please join us!

* Become a co-publisher or even print your own editions
* Suggest articles or writers for publication
* Help us with the distribution
* Suggest names of groups or papers who would to distribute

The publication is open to contributions, just as the historical situation
is open today to all possible outcomes and their meanings.
Let's follow the hint of history ...
