FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 16 Sep. 99


  The Media and Cultural Studies Centre at the University of Queensland
    is proud to present issue six in volume two of the award-winning

                  M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture
                      http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/

     'machine' - Issue Editors: Nick Caldwell & Sean Aylward Smith

                     and a special feature section of

                                M/C Reviews
                   http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/reviews/

      "E-Muse on Trial: The (Young) Life and Times of the E-Journal"
                           Edited by Guy Redden


M/C is an award-winning journal that crosses over between the popular and
the academic. It is attempting to engage with the 'popular', and integrate
the work of 'scholarship' in media and cultural studies into our critical
work. We take seriously the need to move ideas outward, so that our
cultural debates may have some resonance with wider political and cultural
interests.

What is a machine?
What does it mean to use a machine?
Or... to be used by one?

With the advent of increasingly personalised, minaturised, and even
intelligent machines, the modernist distinction between machines as dead
labour and rational humanity has become increasingly untenable.  In this
edition of M/C we open the blackbox of the machine, the dark heart of the
technology where the "human" resides.  Contributions in this issue deal
with "machine" in a novel and unique way, emphasising the immanent
materiality of the subject/object of the machine.


  "Love Machines"
Our feature writer, Anna Munster, critiques contemporary writing about
sexuality and sexual experiences in cyberspace, commenting that "an erotic
relation with the technological is occluded in most accounts of the sexual
in cyberspace and in many engagements with digital technologies".

  "Machinic Musings with Mumford"
Zoë Sofoulis returns to historian of technology Lewis Mumford for ideas
about the role and purpose of machines in cultural development. She
suggests that the machine's fascinating autonomy may inspire notions of
the 'post-human', which can be critiqued from Mumford's humanist position
as well as Latour's "non modern" stance.

  "Félix and Gilles's Tempestuous, Monstrous Machines"
Laurie Johnson takes a slightly different tack by developing a reading of
classic 50s SF film Forbidden Planet in order to come to terms with
deleuzoguattarian theorisations of the machine. He asks the question of
Deleuze and Guattari: "how can we use a concept of machine that claims to
go beyond the concept of utility (or techné, the function of technical
machines)?"

  "True Love Is a Trued Wheel: Technopleasures in Mountain Biking"
Drawing on the work of Donna Haraway, Sophie Taysom seeks to make clear
some of the ways in which mountain biking magazines have an important role
in negotiating the boundaries between the "inside" and "outside" of
mountain biking practices.

  "The Machine as Mythology -- The Case of the Joyce-Loebl
  Microdensitometer"
Paul Benneworth takes us on an archaeology of technology, examining the
history and the fate of a small, pre-digital measuring device, the
microdensitometer. His social history locates the device within its
geographic and historical -- as well as its technological -- milieux.

  "The Hard Question of Squishy Machines"
Frances Bonner takes to task the highly gendered division in Science
Fiction of "hard" and "soft" SF through an analysis of the representations
of the 'technological' in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga.

  "XX @ MM: Cyborg Subjectivity as Millennial Fashion Statement"
Susan Luckman addresses "some of the ways in which the traditional
determinants of class are being redefined in light of the so-called
postmodern capitalist information economy". In doing so she brings in
"nerd chic", cyborgs, rave culture and I-Macs.

  "From Haptic Interfaces to Man-Machine Symbiosis"
Sonja Kangas provides an historicised account of the ways in which humans
and machines interact with one another, which develops into a discussion
of the problems of interactivity from the paradigm of game interface
design.

  "Minor Media -- Heterogenic Machines:  Notes on Félix Guattari's
  Conceptions of Art and New Media"
Andreas Broeckmann reads a series of works by contemporary artists
through the prism of Guattari's writings on art, media and the machine to
argue that the "line of flight" of such media experimentation "is the
construction of new and strong forms of subjectivity".

  "Machinic Heterogenesis and Evolution: Collected Notes on Sound,
  Machines and Sonicform"
Hotwiring together Guattari's machinic philosophy with the work of the
complexity theorists such as Stuart Kauffman and Ilya Prigogine, and using
the example of the self-organising and evolving Sonicform Website/sound
system, Belinda Barnet examines the use and spread of evolutionary
metaphors beyond their scientific origins.

               M/C Reviews - An ongoing series of reviews
                   of events in culture and the media.
                  http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/reviews/

M/C Reviews is a companion piece to the M/C journal itself. Publication on
the Internet gives us the freedom to keep its link to M/C proper ambiguous:
M/C Reviews is neither simply a sub-section of M/C, nor completely
independent of it; you, the reader, decide how you want to see it. The
reviews are informed by the culture-critical perspective of M/C, but you
don't need to take notice of this fact; if you do, however, you'll find
that they tie in to some of the debates represented in greater length in
M/C. New articles are continually added to M/C Reviews.

Considering we gave writers just a few weeks lead time to prepare their
review articles for "E-Muse", M/C Reviews' third themed feature section,
the response can only be seen as indicative of a thriving community spirit
among those involved in e-publishing. What each of these 12 review
articles exemplifies is that e-publishers and e-readers want to
communicate about their experiences, and also that they have lots of
fascinating and worthwhile things to say. If there is one theme that
subtends "E-Muse" as a whole it concerns the impact of the genre in
question. It's new, and although it's still finding its feet, it's
precocious. It looks set to have a major impact on the world of 'serious'
thought.

Hi,

After a successfull summer, in which ASCII was open every day from
12.00-19.00 (and often more), some of our volunteers are leaving Amsterdam
to work elsewhere. So: We need some new volunteers!

If you're good at making coffee and like hanging around in a mixture of
nerds and leftist activists, this might be something for you.

Projects we do:
        - Providing free internet access for anyone who wants it
        - Showing strange movies
        - Hacking in the middle of the night
        - Repairing computers for projects we support
        - Linux courses
        - Anything else we like

Come take a look at:

mediascape

This biennial event unites art and technology in a variety of programs
pulling together some of the most remarkable independent video, web and
CD-ROM productions of the last two years. In addition to an historical film
and video program around the city and urbanism called Memento Metropolis,
fascinating experiments in sound, fashion and performance will also be
showcased.

Through the diversity of individual works presented the current
Manifestation proposes a multitude of issues and concerns, while also
reflecting more generally on current networks of exchanges and the
ever-increasing digitalization of representation, which are radically
questioning the status of the real.


presentation of the programs

video: anticipation and contemplation

A national and international selection of 60 recent independent video
productions which move across conceptual, narrative, documentary and
formalist concerns. The work collected from 15 counties celebrates
contemporary artists' usages of video which range from decidedly low-tech
approaches to state-of-the-art image manipulation. More concerned with
creative applications than technological determinism the video selection
hopes to delineate an inviolable space for artists' inquiries, positioned
well outside, or critically within the dominant commercial forms of the
moving image.

For the opening, two works concerned with spectacle and spectatorship
strike a reflexive note which will hum with varying intensity throughout
the remaining 12 thematic video programs: Doug Aitken's Hysteria captures
the frenzied thralldom of crowds in stadiums while Theresa Duncan's
animated work The History of Glamour both debunks and humourously engages
myths of celebrity by following the career of the outrageous Charlie
Valentine, a girl  from a small town who moves to New York to find fame and
fortune by any means necessary.

highlights:
- Alain Pelletier's just completed Die Dyer, a darkly prismatic work of
intense observation and existental power.
- From the controversial British photographer Richard Billingham, a first
work on video: Fishtank, an experimental documentary which brutally charts
the emotional territory of his family's modest apartment.
- Gérard Cairaschi's award-winning Mémoire(s) from France, a suite of
stunningly  luminous oscillations of figure and ground, characters and
landscapes-- resonating with art-historical and personal references.
- New York artists Alix Pearlstein and Neil Goldberg both offer minimal
conceptual excersises with maximum impact. Pearlstein's Partners is a
series of interactions the artist performs with a variety of magazine
cut-outs. Goldberg's My Parents Read Dreams I've Had About Them  improbably
features the artist's parents reading from sheets of paper handed to them
from behind the camera.
Programmer: John Zeppetelli


 Memento Metropolis

 This year, the Manifestation examines the city in a special section of
experimental film and video entitled Memento Metropolis. A vital and
audacious exploration of the city and contemporary urban culture in a
wide-ranging international program which promises to map all the
ecclecticism of the metropolis.

 More than 50 rarely seen works are grouped in 8 thematic programs: Dog
Shit, Cités de la nuits, Ville à vendre, Ticket in Transit,
Machine!Machine!, Vacancy, Water and Power and last but not least Speed
Limit BPM an unusual program of silent films set to live musical
accompaniment by some of Montreal's hottest D-J's.

 Among some of the highlights:
- Flaneur III: Benjamin's Shadow  from Dutch filmmaker Torben Skjodt
Jensen, a poetic essay on Paris through the writings of the influential
philosopher, Walter Benjamin.
- Some biting anti-corporate commercials, TV Uncommercials from Vancouver's
Media Foundation (editors of the magazine Adbusters).
- A magnificent techno nocturne on the Japanese capital, Tokyo Maigo by the
Québécois Francis Leclerc.
- Vacancy  by German filmmaker Mathias Muller, plumbs the dystopian depths
of the modernist Brasilia, described by Umberto Eco as the capital of the
2Oth century.
- Water and Power is a beautiful portrait of transience and evanescence of
all things in Los Angeles.

Also featured are experimental classics like 21-87 by the legendary Arthur
Lipsett and David Rimmer's Real Italian Pizza.
Programmer: Etienne Desrosiers

performance: liquid pixels

Joseph Hyde and Alaric Sumner "Nekyia Study 3"
A recital for eyes and ears, this piece is built from language and the
sonic and visual traces of language. Text is sung and spoken within an
electroacoustic environment built from fragmented language and complemented
and interrupted by video. "Nekyia" is a term used by Jung (taken from Homer
and Virgil) and refers to a night sea journey and descent into hell to
confront the dead or inner terrors. Sumner's text is a tapestry of
fragmented quotation, further fragmented by Hyde's recorded voicescape and
live electronic interjections.

Sister Iodine (Büro)
Lionel Fernandez and Erik Minkkinen engage in concrete, electronic, and
instrumental sounds which are recycled in a minimal  and disharmonious
esthetic. An integral part of the compositions is the exploration of
electronic and acoustic residues and digital or analog mistakes.

Human Body - Electronik Fashion Show
Vava Dudu and Fabrice Lorrain are two French stylists living in Paris.
Since 1998 they've both focused on recuperation and transformation of
diverse items of clothing - second-hand or not. Not just another concept
for the end of the millennium but rather a multiform event that will exist
simultaneously in the real world and in its live electronic
reinterpretation - revealed via video. A reflection on the possible
esthetics of the year 2000 - without delusions -  engaging in a
metamorphosis of materials which have already been used, transformed or
discarded. A work in progress bringing new life to clothes. A
transformation of our image reaching beyond the simple concept of getting
dressed.


new media: circuits and connections
The digital revolution has radically transformed representation while
creating parallel worlds which shuffle our perceptions of space and time.
The web projects and C-D ROM's gathered here question and critically
reflect upon issues related to the body and identity.

Among many other fascinating projects: Borderland  from the French new
media company Plokker, Bitblood Baby by the British artist David
Bickerstaff, and Gender Media Art by the Dutch collective Axis.

Using the interface of computer games as metaphor Bitblood Baby,  is a
seriously comic riff on genetic manipulation offering a hypothetical system
for the creation and construction of a baby through a series multiple
choices, ultimately asking the "creator" to accept or reject.

special programs

Electronic Japan Now!
Sonic Interface de Akitsugu Maebayashi

An astonishing interactive project where the user is invited to walk freely
around a given space with electronic gear and audio helmet. Through the
computer, the ear becomes an enhanced organ and interfaces between the body
and the environment.  The user will detect microscopic bodily changes while
the computer program will cause temporal changes by creating new audio
interfaces. An unusual and inspiring sensorial experience, winner of the
Ars Electronica Prize in1997.

zone d'émergences: perte de signal
A video program conceived by the young Montreal artist collective Perte de
Signal. A collection of recent video art from here and abroad which
foregrounds the thematic and formal concerns of some young experimental
video makers using both analog and digital technologies.

Among some of the works that will be presented:Traverse by Isabelle Hayeur
(Québec), 18-2  by Éric Gagnon (Québec)and on the international scene,
Still Life  de Rekko Sassi (Helsinki) and Simulacra 1.1 by Alfredo Salomon
(Mexico). Manipuler son corps by Laëtitia Bourget (France) combines
choreography and electronic music while animating video sequences of
photocopied movements.

NEXT 1.0 - NEW EXTENSIONS OF TECHNOLOGY
Karlstad University, Sweden
April 5-7, 2000.


Call for papers, performances & installations
Drawing on multiple technical and artistic traditions, many artists and
writers of the late twentieth century are exploring the aesthetic and
discursive possibilities of digital technologies. New collective forms of
cultural production and exchange are evolving from the communication
practices supported by the new media. At the same time, theorists and
critics are investigating the place of new media artefacts in social,
philosophical, and critical contexts. NEXT 1.0 will bring together an
international field of practitioners and scholars engaged in the work of
making these technologies meaningful for contemporary culture. An
academic conference and an artistic exhibition, NEXT 1.0 will represent a
unique forum for celebrating and critiquing the techniques, forms, and
aesthetics of new media. Scholars and artists working in new media arts,
theory, and criticism are encouraged to submit proposals to present their
work at the conference. Presentations may be in the form of scholarly
papers or presentations; or performance, installations, or sculpture
incorporating digital technologies, interactive or digital video, virtual
environments, or network-based elements. Conference sessions may combine
academic presentations with mediated performances; we encourage proposals
which push the boundaries of the traditional conference paper in form and
content.

Conference Themes
o Creating Content for Interactive New Media
One of our themes is to develop alternative approaches to the design of
narrativity in interactive digital environments. How can the spatial
qualities of the VR units, for example, be employed to create narrative
experiences in new and innovative ways? The development of new approaches
to narrative design will require the use of a wide spectrum of
traditions, genres, styles and disciplines, ranging from theatre to
poetry to film. o Virtual Connected Communities Human identity is
increasingly bound up with machines, thus the need to consider
transformations of technology in terms of the changing human machine
interface. Extending McLuhan's sense of the medium as message, we are now
part of the medium. In a real rather than metaphorical sense, humans are
nodes in a connected intelligence and connected  communities. Part of a
network that produces, receives and consumes culture in new ways.
Exploring these virtual connected communities is an important theme for
NEXT. o Storytelling This theme is based on a number of rather
straightforward questions. What is the relationship between writing
technology and individuals who use this technology to either write or
read? More specifically, how is the experience of a narrative, again for
both readers and writers, affected by the particular features, limits and
paradigms of a particular "writing machine," such as the type-writer or

Paper Submissions
Proposals should not exceed 500 words in length. Please indicate
which of the above themes your paper falls under. If your
presentation requires specific media or technical support (computer or
network access, 35 MM slides, videotape, etc.), describe your needs in
detail, including specific OS or hardware requirements (Mac OS or Windows
95/98/NT), if appropriate. Proposals should be submitted to
electronically to: andreas.kitzmann@kau.se. All proposals *must* be
submitted in WWW-ready format (ASCII text, or simple HTML code), either
as attachments to email correspondence or within the body of the email

Performances/Installations/"Net"work
NEXT is generally interested in artistic work that advances new
concepts of technology, and more particularly in electronic art in
which content is directly informed by an understanding of
technological theory. Pieces which address concerns related to the
above-stated themes will have the best chance of success. NEXT will
screen installations, video tapes, performances, games, and anything
in-between. Please submit a 2-page description of your project, a 1-page
biography, a complete list of technical requirements, plus examples of
your work on PAL VHS tapes, PC or Mac CD-ROM, or Audio CD to: Steve
Gibson, Artistic Coordinator, NEXT Conference, Media and Communications,
Karlstad University, 651 88 Karlstad, Sweden. Please be aware that NEXT
has a limited budget for equipment rental. Those projects in which the
artist provides his or her own equipment will have the greatest chance of
being accepted to NEXT. Deadline for proposals: December 1, 1999
Notification of acceptance of proposals will be sent out by January 1,
2000.
