Subject: Invitation to a new Web site on politics and culture
This is an invitation to you to visit a new Web site, THE SCHENK
REPORT (http://www.SchenkReport.com), where the subjects are politics
and culture from a generally liberal point of view.
THE SCHENK REPORT features:
**Insightful commentary, generally from the left but sometimes veering
off in other directions. Regular contributors include:
Walt Brasch, an award-winning reporter and editor who is now a
professor of journalism in Pennsylvania. Among his virtues is that his
writing is often very funny.
Arthur Joel Katz, a retired TV and film executive whose favorite
causes include defending the First Amendment and pointing out the
insanity of the War on Drugs.
Charles Schenk, editor and founder of THE SCHENK REPORT. I have 25
years experience in journalism. My special interests include the
Balkans, where I lived and taught English for two years. I reported
from the Balkans during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. (My
"Macedonian Diary" pieces are available at THE SCHENK REPORT. From the
Front Page, click on The Columnists, then look for "Macedonian
Diary.")
**There's a big page of Bushisms and a free Bushisms screensaver
guaranteed to irk the Republican in the next cubicle.
**Another feature is Abortion Watch, a running chronology of the Bush
II administration's assault on a woman's right to choose.
**THE SCHENK REPORT has lots of links to other writers, most of them
on the left, and to dozens of organizations that help to mobilize and
inform liberals.
**There's a column for letters to the editor, so readers can talk back
to us.
In other words, if you're not really busy right now, it's worth a
click. The address is http://www.SchenkReport.com.
Thanks.
Sincerely, Charles Schenk
Editor, THE SCHENK REPORT

Parsons Center for New Design
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
New York, NY 10011
Live webast at http://netart-init.org 7pm EST.
On January 26-28, 2001, members of the Verbal Group (new media artists
Ricardo Dominguez, G.H. Hovagimyan, Yael Kanarek Tina LaPorta, Diane Ludin,
Kevin & Jennifer McCoy, MTAA, Cary Peppermint and curator Jennifer Crowe)
hijacked WeLiveInPublic.com, Josh Harris and Tanya Corrin's loft in Soho
that is wired to the Internet with 32 cameras. All sounds, events, and
actions were broadcast live.
Over the weekend, planned and spontaneous interventions into the physical
and virtual space occurred. The Verbal Group also engaged in quite a bit of
eating, drinking, conversing about online aesthetics, and hang out with
each other and the people in WeLiveInPublic.com chat room.
Through interventions ranging from morning exercises led by people in the
WeLiveInPublic.com chat room, to having simulated cybersex, and presenting
performative texts to the "toilet cam", the Verbal Group spent the weekend
messing around with and trying to cope with living in the ready-made
object/space of WeLiveInPublic.com.
Members of the Verbal Group will present this project and talk about its
aftermath at Jihui.

SMART PROJECT SPACE | Call for support
A NEW CULTURAL SPACE IN AMSTERDAM'S OLD WEST DISTRICT
SMART Project Space is asking for your support for its plans to save an
imposing 1960's office block in the old west of Amsterdam, and turn it into
the home for a host of cultural initiatives.
In the old west of Amsterdam, close to the Leidseplein, the Vondelpark and
the national museums on the Museum square, there is a building that stands
out: the former Jan Swammerdam Institute. It is a prime example of a
modernist, concrete, 1960's institutional architecture that has few rivals
in the historic heart of Amsterdam. It has been described as inhuman in
scale, even brutalist, and exemplifies the functionalist aesthetic that was
so out of fashion for the last twenty-odd years, but which now is making
something of a comeback. In Amsterdam many buildings of this kind have been
torn down, and the former Jan Swammerdam Institute is destined for the same
fate by the Old West district council, in order to make way for new housing
and offices.
However, SMART Project Space has recently turned the building into its
temporary home, creating an exhibition space for contemporary art, artists'
studios and a café-restaurant. SMART Project Space Foundation has now
developed an alternative plan to preserve the building, and adapt it to
offer space to a diversity of cultural initiatives: expanding the exhibition
spaces, adding cinema spaces for a programming of art-house cinema,
art-cinema and video art, guest-studios for visiting artists, and office
spaces for cultural institutions and creative companies. SMART Project Space
has secured considerable financial backing for this purpose (amongst others
from the Municipal Government of Amsterdam), and is now campaigning for the
local district council to amend its plans and allow the building to be
preserved.
SMART Project Space Foundation has carried out an active exhibition policy
in Amsterdam since 1994, aimed at the newest developments in contemporary
art. In this context, a program of video art, art-cinema and net art has
been presented, as well as film, performances and music and other media as
the opportunity arises. Early in 2000 (part of) the former Jan Swammerdam
Institute was given as a temporary home to SMART Project Space by Mentrum
(the former Amsterdam Psychiatric Hospital). It is now housing the
exhibition spaces of SMART Project Space, almost 50 artists' studios, a
thriving café-restaurant, a film production studio and a screening space.
Under the proposals, the building will be refurbished to meet the demands of
its new functions, the facade (existing of granito and white marble) will be
cleaned up and a (transparent) extension will be added on the ground floor,
covering the current car park and bringing the front of the building out to
the public road. The plans also include a public passageway to the area of
the former Wilhelmina Gasthuis behind the building, creating a new,
monumental entrance to this unusual part of Amsterdam.
Internally, the plans aim to accommodate the following:
Exhibition Space: circa 1000 m2
On the ground floor there will be an exhibition space where the newest
developments in contemporary art: film, photography, performances, design,
architecture and other art forms will be given a podium. The space offers
the possibility of being able to organise different smaller exhibitions at
the same time but could also be used for larger exhibitions as the
opportunity arises. National and international art institutes will work
together on the programming (SMART Project Space reserves 400 m2 for
contemporary art exhibitions; 600 m2 will be programmed with exhibitions on
the subject of contemporary culture).
Film house: circa 900 m2
The three lecture theatres in the building (originally built by the
University of Amserdam) will be fitted out as cinemas offering a podium for
good quality art-house and experimental cinema. For programming we will work
together with the former Desmet Art-house (which was forced to close down
recently by the owners of the property) crew and the nearby Dutch Film
Museum.
Café: ca 250 m2
Also on the ground floor is a café-restaurant, annex media-café: a meeting
place for artists and art-enthusiasts. "De Ruimte" is already a phenomenon
as meeting place for the cultural circuit in Amsterdam.
Artist's studios: circa 3.600 m2
On the first three floors, there is space for around 50 artist's studios.
The artists are selected on grounds of their professional level and the
quality of the content of their work. Four guest studios will be made
available to artists from abroad.
Office space: circa 3.600 m2
The top three floors will be made available to cultural institutes and
related creative businesses.
In order to secure the co-operation of the Old West council it is important
to show the level of support that exists for the activities and the plans of
SMART Project Space; not just on a local level, but also in the
international art circuit.
Your declaration of support will show the international interest that will
be generated by a cultural space like this. Please send your letter to:

<issues>:
Following the practical and symbolic centrality of mobile communications to
recent gatherings and mobilisations from Paulsgrove to Prague, this
academic mobilisation is round the technological leitmotif of the mobile
itself. Mobile communications and convergent technologies, and the actions
and performances they facilitate, are continually and rapidly developing
and extremely ubiquitous social phenomena. How such technologies and their
associated uses and techniques of ‘mobility’ and ‘ubiquity’ might best be
understood and critically interrogated is one focus of this workshop.
the production of viable mobile technologies for a broad range of user also
raises numerous new issues around interactive system design. Social
scientists are being placed at a critical juncture where a significant
impact can be made on the design of mobile technologies and associated
design methodologies, employing the analytical methods and techniques
brought to bear on studying behaviour, cognition and social practices.
the increase in users and introduction of new technologies and network
services has also led to a dramatic change in the economics characterising
the mobile telecoms market. Understanding requires consideration of the
competition forces which determine the agents’ strategies, together with
issues such as number of licenses in granted, interconnection between
operators and efficient allocation of the spectrum, which require the
presence of an active regulator.

The change
Internet has changed us. No matter what they tell you, Internet is man's latest achievement that affected everything. It put an end to the world as we new it. People who entered and experienced it, began developing new ways of thinking, moved the boundaries of the impossible a little bit further and still have no idea where those borders can retreat to... are all these for the best? Or for the worse? One option is that every individual, who, in front of their computer decides what their own attitude will be, will determine this.
It is also true that the "contents" or, better said, the virtual places, (also known as websites) that one can find in this huge world, can help forge attitudes by pointing towards certain directions. .netculture was built hoping to become such a place. The difference is that the direction will not be suggested by .netculture itself, but by its visitors/collaborators.
A Means To An End...
The aim is the creation of a platform that will act as a simulator for people who do not like being receivers. It is meant or those who do not believe that they expand web's interactive capabilities by pointless and endless surfing or chatting. .netculture will maintain this form forever: it will always and only be accessible through a computer or a device that can become a creative tool of expression. It will never be uploaded to a WAP server, you will never see it on TV, conventional or digital or whatever. That being said, we must say that .netculture will not bypass any new technologies that will help it become even more interactive and open to its users. What .netculture will ignore though, will be any technology that in turn ignores man's ability to act.
Many forms
A very small group created .netculture. We used our digital materials to give it a form. After that we pass it to those populating the web, to do what they like with it. Change it, expand it, shrink it, kill it. We are not planning on making any attempts to maintain it, if no one else does. We are only going to "play" as users every now and then, whenever we have the urge to interact and contribute. Just like any other user. The number of the forms .netculture can assume are not known. In fact that number exceeds by far all its potential visitors.
The idea of .netculture is simple. Anyone can collaborate, anytime, as many times as he or she likes. The experts, the professionals and the beginners alike. There will be no judges who will evaluate the material uploaded as long as that material is exploring the networked culture and abides with our manners.
The forms .netculture can assume can be forwarded through any creative channel people can imagine as long as the web supports it. It can be writing, imaging, application, design, sound, music, criticism, information, discussion, guidance. This list can expand as the web expands. Anything new we are eager to learn and use, as long as our ability to act and freely express ourselves is ensured.
and the end is...
What .netculture seeks is an exploration of this newfound digital landscape. A new kind of society is underway and with it, the need of defining it is born. The goal seems non achievable but we might as well try.
Shortly before the face of this landscape is forever changed and becomes firmly controlled, we decide to give ourselves a chance to say a few things.
So, what would you like to upload today?
