CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - *spark - exploring electronic consciousness...
http://www.spark-online.com
interested parties, please contact - spark@spark-online.com
This is the formal call for submissions to the third edition of
*spark-online. We are asking that contributing writers submit
an article between 400 and 1000 words no later than November 5,
1999 We will not be accepting any articles after this date for
the December 1, 1999 publication. Late submissions, will however,
be considered for the next month's issue. Some writers will
be asked to submit a specific article on a specific topic.
Otherwise, you are free to write about anything relating to the
publication. Please be aware, however, of the magazine's format
when choosing your subject matter. Articles pertaining to the
overall magazine format will not necessarily be considered first,
however, they will certainly be given extra attention, considering
publication's needs.
We have had a very successful first issue, with approximately 1000
visitors each day and growing exponentially. Thanks again for
considering www.spark-online.com as a home for your creative instincts.
We hope that we will serve your own particular intellectual vision well.
interested parties, please contact - spark@spark-online.com
*spark is an online magazine, published monthly on the internet. It
will follow a rough outline of ideas that relate to the world of electronic
communication, and how we as individuals, exist within the world that it is
attempting to foist upon us. Capitalism, or course, isn't necessarily evil,
or bad. It just attempts to appeal to the masses in order to turn a profit.
Thus, we find that our entertainment consists of fighting, feeding and
fucking (the limbic, or primitive drives). Things all humans innately
understand. Yet, we here at *spark also believe that humanity is more than
the sum of our animal instincts. We are creatures imbued with reason. We
are able to look at the world around us and attempt to understand it. As
members of *spark we believe that all human beings possess this nature.
Furthermore, that it is a discussion of this world of reason, this divine
nature, that is sorely lacking in modern society. Especially on the
internet.
We don't want to be highbrow, or snobbish, rather, we just want to engage
the average person who is surfing the net with our ideas. Further, we want
to be able to challenge him or her to look at themselves, and hopefully
begin
to question the world around them that they essentially take for granted.
It is through questions that human beings begin the process of change. And
change is one of the traits of humanity that is most admirable. To create a
better world. We strongly believe that it is ideas that are the first step
in any process of renewal.
That's where you come in. It will be your ideas. Your insight, that helps
to
further this process. Any ideas are open for discussion here. We will
publish
anything, as long is it is well written, and engaging. As well, there is a
rough polemical shape to the magazine that each month we would like to
attempt
to maintain.

Bosnia-Herzegovina
CALL FOR PAPERS
and
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
at the Seminar
"Democracy and Human Rights in Multi-ethnic Societies"
Time: 3-7 July, 2000
Place: Konjic, B&H
Dear colleagues,
This year`s seminar on Democracy and Human Rights in Multi-ethnic Societies,
which was held this past July in Konjic, B&H, has definitely approved to
become a yearly event. The fact that people from 16 countries attended has
made the event international. As an aftermath of
the seminar participants` willingness to go on with our discussions and an
additional interest of colleages who were not able to attend this time, the
Institute
for Strengthening Democracy in Bosnia has decided to continue with the
seminar on
the same topic next year.
In order to make a tentative program, I request of you to let me know as
soon as posible if you are interested in submitting papers, taking part in
discussions, or simply attending the seminar. Working titles of
presentations are welcomed. I encourage participants to suggest and organize
workshops.
Please also feel free to re-transmit this note to whomever might be interested.
In the event of not being interested in receiving further information on
this particular event as well as on the forthcoming activities of the
Institute please let me know at your most suitable convenience.
Sincerely,
Dzemal Sokolovic,
Director of the Institute for Strengthening Democracy in Bosnia

public space, be it physical urban space or cultural media space. Their
tactics range from guerrilla actions, civil disobedience and acts of
sabotage to quiet gestures of poetic resistance. The event takes place

and those confined to the shadows come out to play.

of supporting radical political art and is currently trying to raise funds
to ensure its survival. All proceeds from the event will benefit Sandbox
Open Arts and ABC No Rio, both of which are not-for-profit organizations.

//.VirtualY2K.
A conference on how digitized and networked technologies are
changing our lives and the world.
@ brown.edu
11.5.99 - 11.7.99
The Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University will
host a three-day conference-VIRTUALY2K-from Friday to Sunday, November
5-7, 1999. The conference will explore how digitized and networked
technologies are transforming the world and our lives. As distances
collapse under globalization, as societies become ever more
media-intensive, as the new velocity of virtual networks transforms
warfare, diplomacy and politics, VY2K will bring scholars, writers,
practitioners and critics from many parts of the world to interrogate the
nature and future of virtual worlds.
What is at stake? Has modernity been overtaken by a "virtual condition"?
If so, what are the technical, political, ethical and immediate
implications?
Definitions of the virtual are not easy to come by. Long before
microchips were imagined, theologians and philosophers were debating the
elusive power of the virtual, of immaterial forces that could exert an
influence at a distance, from the holy spirit to the rays of the sun.
Now, thanks to the viral spread of networked computers, the virtual is not
so much elusive as pervasive. Even so, like the puzzle of the
philosophers, this contemporary virtuality produces effects and results
that blur our usual ways of seeing things. We find new worlds emerge which
though real are less than physical. We find spaces emerge which though
extensive are immediate and not at all distant. In short, as the virtual
becomes ever more actualized in our daily lives, many of the familiar ways
in which we've looked at the world are being redrawn, if not turned upside
down.
In the meantime, global politics is being transformed. Battlesites and
websites converge. PCs and TVs meld. Electronic eyes replace human eyes
as global surveillance, media interventions, and invisible sanctions
afford "action-at-a-distance". Think-tanks and peace institutes promote
"virtual diplomacy" as the means to avoid actual insurgency. As data
equals power, infowar becomes not only possible but an accepted, and
seemingly acceptable reality. Indeed, the virtual touches every aspect of
our lives: identity, economy, environments, people. As the century ends
and a millennium begins, VY2K will open a debate about what is surely
becoming one of the most important political, social and philosophical
questions of human development: the power and opportunity, dangers and
politics of virtuality.
VIRTUALY2K is sponsored by the Watson Institute for International Studies,
and made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation and with the support
of the Malcolm S. Forbes Center for Research in Culture and Media Studies.
VIRTUALY2K is free and open to the public.

Key questions:
* Is there a distinction worth defending between the real and the virtual,
or is there a reality intrinsic to the virtual?
* Can an 'ethics of virtuality' be imagined?
* When everything arrives, we no longer have to leave. Does 'virtuality'
portend a new world-wide freedom - or a new carceral, albeit in the name
of participation and communication?
* What will the robot historians of the 22nd century write about the
beginnings of the 21st?
* Virtual technologies collapse distances, distort time, blur fact and
fiction, fundamentally transforming the world of appearances. Are we
witness to a 'de-realization', or a complexification of our perception of
the real?
* 'Cybernetics' originally denoted the 'arts of governing'. Is
'virtuality' also a means of governing people?
* Can virtuality or virtual worlds allow for the free expression of
difference, or do they disallow it through a standardization of real lives
via universal code?
* The Berlin wall falls, the web takes off. Pure coincidence?
* What does it mean to wage a 'virtual war'?
* Is 'virtual war' a form of just war? If it kills fewer people but
attacks the 'reality principle' is it still justifiable?
* Can virtual communities be real?
* What can we understand by the merging of information, warring and
entertainment? Is virtuality merely preparing society for new forms of
war?
* Can interventions in virtual environments be real?
* Does virtuality alter how we think of mortality?
* Every new technology brings with it a specific accident. What would a
'virtual accident' look like?
* Is virtualization the "real" force behind globalization? Is it the
harbinger of a new world order, or a brave new world?
