Dimitri Devyatkin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 16:55:19 +0100 From: Nat Muller <Nathalie.Muller@skynet.be> Subject: Wiretap 7.01: Death and the Machine WT 7.01 Death and the Machine **!! Live streaming at http://raserver2.xs4all.nl:8888/ramgen/encoder/wiretap701.rm !!** Participation by: Birgit Richard (D), Jamie King (GB), Jens Brand (D) and Sam Ashley (USA) Moderation: Paul Perry (CDN/NL) Date Sunday 28th January 2001, 14.00 -17.00h Doors: 13.00h Location V2_Organisatie, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam Entrance fee 7.50 NLG This final Wiretap in the series 'Machine Times' queries the role of death in digital culture. Our current society is obsessed with progression. In this scenario death means the ultimate border. Developments in science and technology have always made an effort to extend life or realise the dream of immortality. This Wiretap takes you beyond the final frontier. Birgit Richard investigates how trans-humanists and extropians attempt to eradicate the scourge of mortality. Their heads are immersed, post-mortem, in liquid nitrogen in cryogenic tanks till medical science finds a way to reanimate them. 'Freeze Head, to Save Ass', indeed! Who though the Internet and digital media are safeguarded from decay is quite wrong. More often information technology is fighting hypothetical diseases such as 'bit rot', 'software decay' and 'link rot'. In his presentation 'Death and the Network' Jamie King debunks the popular post-nuclear apocalypse myth surrounding the Internet. Modern versions of occultism and shamanism evolve around machines and time. Similar to Edison, who used his phonograph to reverberate the voices of the deceased at Madame Blavatsky's seances, Sam Ashley's 'Everyone Laughed when I sat down at the Piano' (authentic spirit possession as vocal technique), Ghost Detector' and Jens Brand's computer controlled ratchets (The Ratchets) formulate a contemporary answer. Participants: Prof. Dr. Birgit Richard (D) Is since 1998 Professor of New Media at the Goethe University of Frankfurt (Germany). Her fields of specialisation include: new media, aesthetics of everyday life (contemporary youth cultures, fashion, design, pop culture), life and death in real and virtual environments. She is editor of the Kunstforum International Volumes on of Fashion, Time and Images of Violence, and founder of the Youth Culture Archive, a collection of objects from contemporary youth cultures. Her current research focuses on the representation of women in computer games. Jamie King (GB) In addition to his work with the International Necronautical Society Jamie King is a contributing editor at London technology and culture journal Mute and editor of the industry journal n3, dedicated to the analysis of the Domain Name System in business practice. He has recently completed a PhD thesis at the University of Southampton examining the role of the American frontier in the cultural construction of the Internet. He is now back to work on a long overdue science-fiction novel, and can still be found any evening you like attempting to write a hit two-step single in his project studio. Sam Ashley (USA) has been singing for more than 15 years, developing an unusual Animal Magnetism vocal technique. He has had principal roles in seven contemporary operas by Robert Ashley, with whom he regularly performs and records, in works by Alvin Lucier and in many other pieces too. He has designed digital audio signal processing systems, designed custom music software (including a stint with Sound Traffic Control) and done a wide range of recording engineer, consulting and project studio jobs. Sam Ashley co-founded Very Important Now, the Cactus Needle Project (acclaimed as an electronic/computer music ensemble), and AA Bee Removal. Sam Ashley has devoted his life to the invention of an experimental trance-mysticism and the art that he does tends to reflect this. Seeing Things, Everyone laughed when I sat down at the piano, Ghost Detector each feature a different version of authentic spirit possession or a mystical theme. Jens Brand (D) studied visual arts in Münster, Germany. He lives and works as a composer, musician, visual & audio-visual artist and organiser in Dortmund, Germany. His pieces can appear as concerts, performances or installations. Recent works have ended up being mixtures of these genres, developed as logical and absurd games between the audience and the artist. His experiments with everything that can be considered to be art are not supposed to establish a belief or truth, but try to offer a fruitful soil for research, communication and progressive failure. Pieces used in the collaboration with Sam Ashley, such as Motors and Styrofoam, Mini Fan Music, PIANO or RATCHETS appear as short duration installations that evoke something Jens considers to be 'electronic music without speakers'. Paul Perry (NL/CDN) If artists be either misanthropist or socio-paths then Paul Perry sees himself as belonging to the type misanthropist. As an artist, he divides his attention between the study of diversity and its propagation and identity and its survival. Recent examples of his work include the first part of a multi-part film on the simulation of Near Death Experiences (1,000 Deaths: Sortie 1, 2000), the development of a new constitution for the City of Amsterdam (Amsterdam 2.0, 1998), the design of a small rock garden featuring a sub-critical nuclear reactor (Nuclear Garden, 1998) and the creation of an immortal man/mouse hybrid at the University of Maastricht (Good and Evil on the Long Voyage, 1997).

As a statement without words to the heavy "dot.com = almost artist-free situation" there. Is san francisco a first reaction to turbocapitalist globalization, where only commerce counts? The city is cleared now from any psychedelic backgrounds, a fact the european/german net critic scene could be happy about. But one has to see here that it is cleared from art at the same time, too, which is very dramatic. The electronic art space in downtown, South of Market, where we performed live, was closed down shortly after our gig. ("joypad/Blasthaus will be closing until further notice. For those of you who did not know, there are 6 buildings on Mission/Minna Street which have been in escrow for 2 years. The proposed developer wishes to demolish these 6 brick buildings and has proposed building an 80,000,000$ office tower." Blasthaus statement). Soundz a bit like the situation in Frankfurt to me, where so little space is available for artistic projects, because rents are only affordable to banks and companies. Two extreme cities - Frankfurt and San Francisco, who stand in opposition to places like Berlin or Vienna, where art has less space problems, and is tolerated as sort of entertainment. - (Elisa Rose slam) B) STR interviewed in inkwell.vue conference (12.-26.1.2001) - -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.well.com/conf/inkwell.vue/ statement: "Inkwell.vue is the first of a new type of WELL conference, readable by anyone on the World Wide Web, with or without a WELL password, but posted to by WELL members only.

"Cyberspace is Our Land!" ;-) station rose 1-2001 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 13:03:06 -0800 From: "Talan Memmott" <talan@percepticon.com> Subject: FW: Dazzling! - the winner of the trAce/Alt-X New Media Writing Competition 2000 + trAce renames itself with a brand new image (fwd) CONTENTS * Dazzling! - the winner of the trAce/Alt-X New Media Writing Competition 2000 * trAce renames itself with a brand new image "Dazzling style" is how judge Shelley Jackson describes the winning entry in the second trAce/Alt-X New Media Writing Competition. The contest, hosted by the trAce Online Writing Centre at The Nottingham Trent University in partnership with the Alt-X Online Publishing Network, aims to discover the best contemporary web-based writing and bring it to the attention of the literary world both on and offline. The result and supporting information can be found at http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/comp.cfm This year's winner is Talan Memmott, an artist/writer from San Francisco, California. Born in 1964, he came to writing by way of visual art, having worked in video, installation art, painting, and performance art, as well as working as a professional chef. His winning site 'Lexia to Perplexia' http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/newmedia/lexia/index.htm combines design, theory and fiction and provides a challenging example of what can be achieved on the internet by artists who are brave enough to mix art and programming. An Honourable Mention goes to Nick Montfort, William Gillespie & Dylan Meissner, whose 'The Ed Report' combines hypertext and humour in a hilarious clickable narrative. Talan Memmott, who gave an innovative demonstration of his site at last year's trAce Incubation conference using not a computer screen but three whiteboards and coloured markers, won ?1000 when he rose to the top of a shortlist featuring online-writers from South Korea, Australia, Brazil, America, and the UK. On hearing he had won, he said, "This is fantastic! I am truly honored to receive this award." Artistic Director of trAce, Sue Thomas, said: "Talan Memmott was first published by trAce in 1999 when his piece Reasoned Metagoria appeared in frAme, our journal of culture and technology. His style is both elegant and contemplative, a prime example of the best of the net." Mark Amerika, Director of Alt-X, notes that Talan's work, "like so much of the best new work emerging on the net, puts into play a renegotiation of the image/text relationship." This relationship between image and text has been a constant theme in net-based writing, so much so that when this round of the competition was launched, the organisers presented the competitors with a challenge -to describe what kind of art they are making and what name they give to themselves as writers/artists. Most were reluctant to be pinned down, using such descriptions for their work as: Hypertext : web-specific writing : net literature : Net Art : net-art-writing : Interactive Fiction : Hypertext Fiction : hypermedia : digital literature : lit[art]ure : cyberpoetry : Hypermedia Literature : Web Poetry : Web Art : electronic literature : Organic hypertext and many others including just Online Content. And for themselves: Artist/theorist; Artist/writer/thinker/designer; Creative human; Cybermancer; Cyberpoet; Digital artist; Hacker/poet; Hypermedia novelist; Information Artist; Meta-Author; Metaweb commentator; New media artist; Writer/multimedia artist and many more. One entrant declared simply "Poet still works for me, because it means "maker." A full list of responses is now available on the competition website at http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/comp.html The site also features the judge's remarks, the shortlist, an overview of the submissions and an interview with Talan Memmott by Mark Amerika. PLUS - A REDESIGN FOR TRACE TrAce this week renames itself to the trAce Online Writing Centre and puts on a different set of colours. The traditional upper case A typo remains, but the well-known orange and black logo is transformed to shades of blue. Artistic Director Sue Thomas said, "The new look heralds an expansion of our services in 2001. This will be our most ambitious year ever, with several exciting new projects in the pipeline, including an Online Writing School and more support for professional online writers. We have also added a new facility to the site so users can submit in their own news stories about on and offline events."

All perspectives are welcome. You can subscribe by sending a blank email to v-nv-mobilize-subscribe@egroups.com or by visiting http://www.egroups.com/group/v-nv-mobilize (Do not "Reply" to join the list. Also, eGroups has been bought by Yahoo, so don't be confused when you see the other name.) GENERAL INFO WHY THIS NEW LIST? SECURITY FORWARDING THIS INVITATION GENERAL INFO The goal of v-nv-mobilize is to facilitate a respectful, international dialog on activist "violence"/"nonviolence", in which people of differing views can learn from one another, and people of similar views can discuss how to act on them. (Quotation marks are used here for the sake of openness, to recognize the many uses of these words. This is not a convention others need follow.) This invitation is being sent to over 400 people, lists, and organizations, representing a wide range of: * geographical locations * issues of primary focus * political views * positions on "violence"/"nonviolence" * types of involvement in the mobilizations. (The initial invitations for v-nv-mobilize were sent on 17 Jan 01. If you visit the webpage or subscribe soon thereafter, there will not be much going on yet. Join the list, post your reflections, and help start the conversation!) The list is unmoderated -- which means self-moderated -- with an open subscription policy. Its primary language is English. v-nv-mobilize is for examination of activist "violence"/"nonviolence" as a movement issue, across different mobilizations. Practical applications will hopefully be discussed, but this is not the primary organizing list for any mobilization. v-nv-mobilize focuses on the "violence" and "nonviolence" of activists, because it is a list for activists (in the broadest sense), and aims to help us direct our own movement. The "violence" or "nonviolence" of police and the prisons are uncontroversial among activists, and are widely addressed on the internet. The same is not the case with our own behavior. WHY THIS NEW LIST? There have been all kinds of activist "violence" and "nonviolence" at the mobilizations of the past two years. v-nv-mobilize was inspired by -- but is not limited to! -- some of the events at S26 Prague: activist/independent media reports were that a small minority of activists threw cobblestones and Molotov cocktails at police, and similarly attacked delegates, injuring tens of people, at least two seriously. Research for this list turned up numerous accounts of and reactions to these events, but hardly any extended discussion, especially of activist "violence"/"nonviolence" as a general issue for the movement. During that research, another example of "violence" occurred at N30 (2000) Nice, where activist/independent sources reported that some activists started a fire at a bank, and then drove off firefighters by throwing rocks. Note: v-nv-mobilize is not concerned only with these potentially lethal actions; they serve as dramatic examples to argue that we activists should be talking more about the whole spectrum of our "violence"/"nonviolence" at the mobilizations. And to repeat, the goal of v-nv-mobilize is to bring all sides together, not to advance one view of the issue. All perspectives on activist "violence"/"nonviolence" deserve public discussion in depth, due to their significance in: * movement strategy and tactics * mobilization organizing * media and other outreach * (for some people) morality and spirituality. (By the way, if you are aware of such a dialog already occurring online, please post its location to v-nv-mobilize.) So why are these matters not more talked about? To be sure, each mobilization is different, and where there is less likelihood of serious "violence", it is understandable that there is less attention paid to the issue. But these mobilizations are part of a common movement, however it is understood: what happens in Prague affects what happens in Washington DC and vice versa, on the streets and in the conference rooms. Three other reasons to avoid this challenging topic come up often: 1) "Let's not divide ourselves." 2) "Let's focus on the practicalities of organizing, not on abstractions." 3) "Our view on "violence"/"nonviolence" is settled. There's no need for dialog with other groups." Each of these points may be valid for some people and some forums. But v-nv-mobilize is a list for people who feel differently. SECURITY v-nv-mobilize is essentially public, as is its archive. Eddresses will be concealed in the archive and the members list, but not in the "From" field of postings. This will hopefully prevent people's eddresses from being "harvested", but it will not provide real "security". Bear this in mind at all times. The lack of security does favor people of the "nonviolent" view, especially among those who live under more repressive states, because they may feel more free to express themselves. But the research for this invitation turned up many groups whose websites or lists approve of or advocate revolutionary "violence", so hopefully these people will feel just as free to express themselves on this list. FORWARDING THIS INVITATION Please forward this invitation to anyone you think would be interested. But many people, lists and organizations have already received it. So you will minimize cross-postings by forwarding only to the following: people you know personally; organizations or lists which have not received the invitation; organizations which have no website. Thank you for reading. May this list serve us well -- and the movement. alyosha Witness listworker - -- (Sorry about the ad below; i'm away from home and sending this thru the web.)
