Subject: New issue of M/C now online: 'speed'
Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2000 13:36:22 +1000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 2 July 2000

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

                   M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture
                      http://www.api-network.com/mc/

            PLEASE NOTE THE NEW ADDRESS: UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS!

         'speed' - Issue Editors: Guy Redden & Sean Aylward Smith

Speed is a drug: it gets us up, gets us going, gets us going somewhere,
but where and why remain unanswered questions.

Speed is one of the defining metaphors of contemporary life in advanced
capitalist economies: the speed of the stock market, the speed of
technological change, the speed of associated cultural, social and
economic change.

Speed is dis-ease: television advertisements promote medicinal treatments
for, musical respites and holiday escapes from the speed of the rat-race;
New Age therapies promise to bring eternity back to dizzy souls;  and
commentators lament the lagging speed of their own countries in the face
of global economic growth whilst politicians exhort their constituents to
pick up the pace of social and economic innovation.

Speed infests all forms of life under contemporary capitalism: it defines
our drugs, from caffeine and guarana to the more effective illegal
barbituates; it defines our workplaces, from productivity increases to the
musings of time and motion specialists; it defines our ambitions and
desires, from greater clockspeed in our computers and the permanent
availability afforded by the mobile phone to the phantasmal dreams of
investors for unbridled and unfettered capital flows.

Speed is also, with direction, one half of velocity, which takes us
somewhere -- but where is this increasing speed taking us? The rate of
change of velocity defines acceleration: are things speeding up, or are
they just changing direction? Speed also constitutes part of momentum,
which, as Heisenberg famously defined, is at some level impossible to know
if a particle's position is known. Does this mean we can't know where were
going if we know where we are or at what speed we're getting there? Can we
make sense of the blur?

M/C's 'speed' issue offers a variety of approaches to these and other
questions. Here's what's included in the issue:

  "'The Ministers of Locomotion': Some Historical Speculations on
  Velocity Culture"
Esther Milne takes a historical perspective on the perceptual
reconfigurations of space and time that come with changes in
communications and transport technologies, and identifies a long tradition
of commentary on communication technologies, which sets up themes that are
still applied today.

  "Racing Berlin: The Games of Run Lola Run"
Claudia Mesch takes us into the Berlin of Tom Tykwer's recent movie Run
Lola Run, playfully using the multiple narrative style of the movie.

  "The Uncertainty Principle: Paul Virilio's 'The Information Bomb'"
John Armitage reflects upon Paul Virilio's current thinking about speed,
digital technologies and the state of the world.

  "Identities without a Reference: Towards a Theory of Posthuman Identity"
Sadeq Rahimi explores the shrinking of time and the virtualisation of
space to question how identity is redefined in the postmodern condition.

  "Waiting for Instantaneity"
Maya Drozdz reflects upon the temporal paradoxes of cyberspace,
questioning Virilio's and Baudrillard's suppositions of realtime mediation
by arguing that movement in cyberspace is "subordinate to connection speed
and loadtime".

  "Cyberhate and Performative Speech in Accelerated Time(s)"
Kate Eichhorn examines the speed of the Net, applying it to arguments
about the effectivity of hate speech and showing how the "speed and
subsequent loss of orientation" that Virilio associates with virtual
environments may actually prove the grounds for its recuperation.

  "Book of the Undead"
Writing at the time of millennium fever McKenzie Wark takes a 'detour'
away from the incessant media multiplication of a single moment by
contemplating the enduring architectural media of ancient Egypt.

  "Speed"
Brian Ward draws our attention to the social and cultural experience of
speed, and the ways to which speed is the result of an obsession, under
capitalist rationalities, with notions of progress, advancement and unique
sensation.

  "Arresting Fast Food"
Gwendolyn Stansbury argues against the speed of contemporary life:
extrapolating the Slow Food movement's critique of fast food, she posits
the negative effect that the modern pace of life has on the communal
experience of preparing and eating food together.

  "Fleshing Out the Maelstrom: Biopunk and the Violence of Information"
Paul Taylor shows how the recent Biopunk fiction of Jeff Noon and Michael
Marshall Smith plays out a contemporary ontological confusion between the
physical and the informational.

  "Directions for Cyberculture in the New Economy"
Finally, as a special feature this issue, we bring you a recording of a
seminar recently presented by the noted Dutch media activist and theorist
Geert Lovink at the Media and Cultural Studies Centre at the University of
Queensland. Greg Hearn and David Marshall respond to Lovink's views, and a
lively audience discussion, ranging from AOL users to cyberwarriors,
follows.

>From July 7th to September 3rd 2000 the Stadthaus Ulm is presenting the
exhibition "cooperativ - Kunstdialoge Ost-West" (co-operation - an east-west
art dialogue) on the occasion of the 2nd International Danube Festival. In
the exhibition contemporary artists will be presented from the countries of
Bulgaria, Germany, Hungaria and Yugoslavia along the Danube, and from
neighbouring countries, whose co-operation crosses national boundaries and
who develop their artistic work either in direct collaboration or as a
product of intensive dialogue. Apart from the work of each individual
artist, these common concepts and projects have been developed over a period
of many years and, in some cases, taken further for this exhibition. Within
the context of the artists' co-operation some new works have been specially
produced for the exhibition. The common ideas and themes of these artists
from different nations, most of which are intended to provoke a dialogue
with the viewer, are clearly conveyed, as are the artists' endeavours to
create a network of artistic friendship and co-operation throughout Europe -
a common spiritual territory.

The artists taking part:
- Extra-Territoria:
Róza El Hassan (Hungary) / Milica Tomic / Branimir Stojanovic (Yugoslavia)
in co-operation with
Luchezar Boyadjiev (Bulgaria)

- Yuri Leiderman (Russia) / János Sugár (Hungary)
- Miklós Erhardt (Hungary) / Dominic Hislop (Scotland)
- Antal Lakner (Hungary) / Georg Winter (Germany)
- Attila Menesi (Hungary) / Christoph Rauch (Germany)
- IRWIN - Dusan Mandic, Miran Mohar, Andrej Savski, Roman Uranjek, Borut
Vogelnik (Slovania)
Curator: Friederike Kitschen

There will be a catalogue to the exhibition in German and English with texts
by the artists and by Marina Grzinic (Ljubljana), Friederike Kitschen (Ulm),
Viktor Misiano (Moscow), Nina Möntmann (Hamburg) and András Zwickl
(Budapest).

Opening in Friday July 7th 2000, 7 p.m. in the Stadthaus Ulm.
Press information in Thursday July 6th 2000.  11 a.m. in the Stadthaus Ulm.

About the Unchain My Mind Forum

On the eve of the national conference of the Australian Labor Party in
Hobart many of Labor's foremost thinkers and activists are gathering in
Melbourne to present new ideas for Labor in power. Specifically,
speakers will be discussing new policy agendas for a twenty-first
century Federal Labor government, and vital reforms to party structure
to enhance membership, internal  democracy  and policy-making. A strong
emphasis is on a younger generation of Labor men and women keen to
promote new ways of achieving social democracy in a time of rapid
change. 

A critical perspective unites the forum speakers. Topics to be
discussed include trade, globalisation, work place democracy,
education, managing cultural diversity, the media and the new
information economy, indigenous land rights, unions, party structures,
unemployment and foreign policy.

Expect a rigorous critique of orthodox economic ideas of both the right
and the left, and new left-of-centre perspectives on public
institutions that may no longer be meeting the objectives for which
they were established.  Speakers will be encouraged to sketch
alternative models of governance which might better achieve traditional
social democratic goals.  The aim of the Unchain My Mind
Forum is to promote critical thinking, open dialogue and
audience participation.

A must-attend event for anyone interested in political reform,
government, social change and Labor's future.
