Subject: Transnational Activism and Problems of Democracy in East and Southeast Asia
The following information was quoted from the website of
transnational communities.
(http://www.transcomm.ox.ac.uk)
Call for Papers to International Workshop:
Transnational Activism and Problems of Democracy in East and Southeast Asia
Processes of globalisation do not only involve purely economic aspects and
elite politics. Cross-border interaction between civil society actors ?
what might be called $B!H (Bglobalisation from below $B!I (Bis another
important feature
of contemporary world politics that is receiving increasing attention by
scholars as well as the media and political decision-makers. When
non-governmental
organisations and social movements not only focus on the domestic or local
arena
but also take action on a transnational level, transnational activist networks
emerge. Transnational activism challenges conventional understandings of civil
society and social movements as well as international relations.
Not much research has been done on this phenomenon in the East and Southeast
Asian context. Thus this workshop aims at filling an empirical gap by providing
an analysis of different forms of transnational activism in this part of
the world.
Theoretically, most research on transnational activism has focused on
activities
and organisational aspects of transnational issue networks, without making
connections to wider issues of democracy and democratisation. This workshop
aims at
filling this gap by focusing on two broad aspects: 1) How processes of
democratisation
might be related to the increase in transnational activism by providing new
political
opportunities. 2) The implications of transnational activism for problems
of democracy
on local, national as well as transnational levels. How is transnational
activism
anchored democratically? A transnationalisation of politics put into
question the
assumed close connection between democracy and a sovereign nation state and
raises
issues of citizenship and democracy on a transnational level.
We invite papers from academics and/or activists. Topics may include
different forms of
transnational activism ? for example related to environmental, human
rights, migration
and gender issues. We specifically encourage contributions on
anti-democratic and
reactionary forms of transnational activism. Of interest is also the impact of
transnational activism on regional institutions and bilateral negotiations.
Comparative
studies of political opportunities for transnational activism under
authoritarian and more
democratic regimes are also particularly welcome.
Organisers:
Dr. Nicola Piper (NIAS, Copenhagen/Denmark), nicola@nias.ku.dk
Dr. Anders Uhlin (Sodertorns hogskola, Stockholm/Sweden), anders.uhlin@sh.se
Date and place of event:
14-15 September 2001 in Stockholm
Applications:
Please send a paper proposal (not more than 400 words) to the organisers
not later than 1 May 2001.

Subject: PRIX ARS ELECTRONICA 2001
Dear artist,
I am sending you the most important information about this year's
Prix Ars Electronica and would like to invite you to take part.
It is the world's most reknown and highest prized competition for computer
and multimedia art.
You can participate in four categories of cyber-art
introduced in the following text.
The Prix Ars Electronica 2001 marks the 15th edition of the competition for
cyberarts, which is organized by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation
(ORF), Upper Austrian Regional Studio, in conjunction with the Ars
Electronica Festival. From the start, the Prix Ars Electronica has been
conceived as an open platform for various disciplines in the field of
digital media design at the intersection of technology, art, science and
society. Accordingly, over the course of the years, it has repeatedly been
renewed, in order to be able to take the rapid developments in the realm of
information technologies into account.
The Prix Ars Electronica 2001 is announced internationally for the
categories of Net Vision / Net Excellence, Interactive Art, Digital Musics,
Computer Animation/Visual Effects. In addition, there is also a competition
category for young people under the age of 19 in Austria: Cybergeneration -
u19 freestyle computing. The international juries will award 6 x 3 money
prizes and 6x up to 12 Honorary Mentions.
The total prize money for the Prix Ars Electronica 2001 amounts to Euro
100.000 (US$ 89,700). Selected works of all categories will be presented to
the public in the exhibition Cyberarts 2001 at the O.K Center for
Contemporary Art during the Ars Electronica Festival.
You will find detailed information on each category, the names of the Jury
members, the competition regulations and all information you need to
register online under: http://prixars.orf.at
Deadline for entries is April 7, 2001 (postmarked)!
Please send your complete submission on time to
ORF/ Prix Ars Electronica 2001
Europaplatz 3
A-4021 Linz (Austria)
Online Registration:
http://prixars.aec.at/2001/registration/
Naturally you can hand in more than one art-work and participate in all
caregories.
I hope that you find the information useful and am also looking forward to
getting more information about you and your projects.
Please remember that you need to post the registration form and register
online if you want to take part. For the category 'Interactive Art' it is
also important not only to send a description of your work but a short video
tape that illustrates your work. This is essential for the jury to judge
your work.
If you know people who are interested could you please forward this mail or

Subject: Interview Yourself!
Howdy,
On nettime a couple weeks ago, some of you might have caught
the discussion of net.art history, net art history, net_art_history,
and so on. And the topic came up of the everpopular technique of
critic-interviews-net.artist, which it can be argued, helps
create a net.art.star system, whereby artists might suddenly find
themselves rising to stardom then unceremonisioulsy declared dead,
or worse, not starrified by the interview system at all. Meanwhile,
some of the critics feel rather overworked.
And therefore, to help with it all, I proposed the automagic
"Interview Yourself" project. Since a few nettimers have in fact
responded with actual interviews, I will begin posting them
on plagiarist.org shortly.. (i.e. as soon as I get more than
5 contiguous minutes of free time.)
So naturally I would like to open this up to more than just nettime
readers... the whole idea is that it is open to everybody...
net_artists, net_critics, etc., it's good clean
fun the entire family can enjoy! (And what better way to convert that
ultra-private, brooding space of internal dialogue into public netspace?
Your head on the net!)
So, here's the gist of the original post; keep those cards and
letters rolling in and hope u have fun:
- -----------------------------------------------------
The critics are short on time, and
having them spend it doing interviews just creates a bunch of Art Stars
- - it's essentially a whole new Art World created in the process of
trying to flee the old one... and look what we've got; overworked
critics, unhappy net artists... this won't do....
I propose a new approach, as part of the Plagiarist "New Millenium
Disorder" project: The Interview Yourself Project. Since it will
hopefully generate lots of interviews, the acronym will be the
"IY-IY-IY-IY-IY" Project. Everyone, please interview yourself, and post
your interview to the usual mailing lists; heck, I'll even make a whole
website for the archives if people submit them.
Think of the benefits... it subverts the Net Art World Institution, and
makes everyone a star.... or, uh, makes nobody a star, depending on how
you want to look at it... it finally gives the interviewees a chance to
answer the kinds of questions they *wish* they'd be asked about their
work... it gives us shy people who sometimes clam up with real
interviewers the chance to finally open up in an interview... and, it
saves wear and tear on critics and journalists! Concerned that the tough
questions won't get asked? Not to worry; IY-IY-IY-IY-IY doesn't preclude
critics from doing interviews, just sort of er, open sources the
interview process. (I just love working "open source" in anywhere I can... )
So, hop to it everybody! (you too, critics!) you've got an interview to
prepare - History Awaits!

NEW ART
Robert Wapahi - Board President & Tim Jackson - author/artist
Once volunteer webmaster put his art on our site the idea occured shortly
thereafter that it would be nice if the other members of our Board
(presently all artists) and of past Board Members who are artists should
have art posted on our site as well.
So, we present the work of our Board President - Robert Wapahi
http://www.art-teez.org/artistsb/wapahi/rw.htm
Also, we honor Tim Jackson, Board Member, with a link to his great site
at http://www.clstoons.com which presents his cartoon art well and which
explores the History of African-American Cartoonists.
Enjoy.
STOCKHOLM CHALLENGE
The City of Stockholm Sweden hosts the prestigious "Stockholm Challenge" - a
world-wide socially-relevant contest for on-line projects and agency
websites. Lars Malmsten, Project Search Coordinator of "The Stockholm
Challenge Award" e-mailed www.art-teez.org challenging us to apply.
The judges are an international sampling of Internet Who's-Who.
You, or others you know, may take the challenge at
www.challenge.stockholm.se
We entered our international art contest - ART-ACT and have posted at
www.art-teez.org/pr/challeng.htm our response to the questions the contest
asks as a sample for other writers. Writers for agencies taking the
Stockholm Challenge can find hundreds of additional responses from around
the world at the "Challenge" site above to jump start imaginations.
Deadline for on-line applications is April 1st, 2001.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENTS
As a result of writing the Stockholm Challenge, the next focus for our
website (art-teez.org) will be entering the art of our Founders. Over the
course of this coming year I hope to provide you, and our online visitors,
work by the many artists who have helped us along the way.
This change in direction is really just part of the process of translating
our essential nature - as a community art agency - onto a website -
overcoming our limited resources using the intrigue of our evolution as a
hook. We are staying close to what we know by sharing ourselves. A good
foundation starts at home.

Projection Machines by Paul Rodgers
Inspired by the American architect, Buckminster Fuller and his innovative
dome like constructions of the 1950s and 1960s and drawing on the beginnings
of cinema, Paul Rodgers multiple projection installation project, PROJECTION
MACHINES will be premiered at Mass Gallery, Melbourne from 4 April 2001.
Fusing the alchemy of early cinema with high tech fragments of digital
imagery, the installation will feature two projection machines that have
been constructed out of a combination of recycled and new materials.
For this innovative project, Paul Rodgers has constructed a multiple
projection based machine, Dome, that uses lenses, mirrors and data
projectors to rotate 360 degree projections around a panoramic circular
screen. The interactive projection machine, Beacon, has been configured to
resemble a cross between a beacon and a zoetrope and will project 16mm
animated film.
This project connects Paul Rodgers ongoing interest in constructing kinetic
based installations with his extensive background in live art, projection,
screen-based and digital media works. Paul Rodgers has a comprehensive
background working with experimental film, video, and site specific
performance and installation in the UK and internationally and more recently
in Australia, where he has been based for the last 4 years.
PROJECTION MACHINES will be exhibited
From: Wednesday 4 April Saturday 21 April 2001
Opening: Tuesday 3rd April 2001 from 6pm 8pm
At: Mass Gallery
142 Queens Parade, North Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia 3068
Ph: 9482 5695
This project has been assisted by the Commonwealth Government through the
Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
Projection Machines has also been supported by Swinburne University.

The discrepancy between the debate around Access, which becomes
access to the Internet and the holes in the glass fiber network
become obviously if in the east of the city the "west" does not
arrive with its Flatrates, DSLs, and promises of connectivity.
"You are in a OPAL-Area" said the operator, what means that the

CONFERENCE SCOPE
This cross-disciplinary conference explores the ways in which semiotics
(and related theories such as structuralism and post-structuralism) can be
applied to creating and analysing computer-based media. It is intended for
anyone with an interest in areas of overlap (or potential overlap) between
semiotics and interactive digital media - including artists, designers,
critics, computer scientists, HCI and AI practitioners, semioticians,
narratologists and new media practitioners.
Semiotics is the study of signs, symbols and signification, and is
therefore the study of how meaning is created, encoded and understood.
Computational semiotics is understood here to be the application of
semiotic theories to interactive digital media and has three main areas
(which overlap). They are:
* The way in which meaning can be created by, encoded in, or understood by,
the computer (using systems or techniques based upon semiotics).
* The way in which meaning in interactive digital media is understood by the
viewer or user (again using systems or techniques based upon semiotics).
* The use of semiotics as the starting point for a system for looking
critically at the content of interactive digital media - devising a
critical framework equivalent in status and depth to art theory or academic
film criticism.
Interactive digital media here refers to computer-based media that responds
to the user's input. This response can either be in real-time, responding
continuously to the changing input of the user, or generatively, based on
initial settings provided by the user. It incorporates one or more
modalities including digital video and audio, live-rendered and
pre-rendered 2D or 3D graphics, still images and text, etc.
Input may make use of conventional keyboard, mouse, joystick or game pad,
data glove, or sensor technology of any type. Output may be through
conventional screen technology (including data projectors), 3D
visualization systems (including VR goggles and CAVE systems), haptics, and
other new interaction technologies.
Media that make use of the unique capabilities of digital systems are of
particular interest to this conference. These include: computer games,
interactive narratives and other forms of interactive entertainment;
interactive video, virtual reality systems and virtual environments; and
hypermedia.

Subject: [april_anarchy] Update #1
Hello!
Here's the story so far...
- ------
The 'No Gods, No Masters' anarchist and autonomist conference will be
taking place on the last weekend of April (28-29) at the Old Arts
building at the University of Melbourne, between the hours of 10am
and 5pm on the Saturday and between the hours of 11am and 5pm on the
Sunday. Entry is $5 per day or $10 for the weekend. (Lunch will
almost certainly be provided free, although we may have to charge a
token amount for morning and afternoon tea...)
The conference itself will feature a morning plenary on the Saturday
and approximately 20 workshops, which will take place three-at-a-time
throughout the conference, as well as films and videos, exhibitions
of anarchist art and book and information stalls.
In addition, the following events are scheduled to take place on or
about the weekend:
At the Old Arts building on Sunday evening, between 6pm and 9pm:
'Lenin on Trial'; a reckoning with the remnants of the authoritarian
Left.
At the New International Bookshop (Carlton) in the week prior to the
conference: an exhibition on the history of May Day.
At the Mechanics' Institute (Brunswick) also during the week prior to
the conference: an exhibition on the history of Australian anarchism.
Other events, including a benefit gig, another exhibition, and a
party, are still in the planning stages.
- ------
Please note that
i) all events are subject to change.
ii) spaces and times for workshops are filling up fast, so if you'd
like to present a paper / conduct a workshop / practise your stand-up
comedy routine, get in touch with us *ASAP* please.
iii) we really need people to let us know that they're coming and,
hopefully, how they can assist us in organising the conference, ie.,
volunteering to assist with childcare / food preparation / washing
dishes / etc..

The discrepancy between the debate around Access, which becomes
access to the Internet and the holes in the glass fiber network
become obviously if in the east of the city the "west" does not
arrive with its Flatrates, DSLs, and promises of connectivity.
"You are in a OPAL-Area" said the operator, what means that the
Digital Gap is a home-made phenomenon and the connection comes in
2 months.
The "Offline Days" will try to concretize the meta discourse in a
relaxed way.

prologue: [by paolo mazzarello - takk takk]
More than 7,000 participants attended the twelfth International Medical Congress
of Moscow in August 1897. Among the prominent scientists there was Italian anthropologist
Cesare Lombroso, who presided over a session dedicated to mental illness.
Lombroso was world famous for his theory that genius was closely linked with madness.
According to him, genius and madness were two faces of the same psychobiological reality
‹ as in a non-Euclidean space in which the two extremes touch. A man of genius was a
degenerate, an example of retrograde evolution, in whom madness was a form
of biological compensation for excessive intellectual development.
This regression, the theory stated, produced its own phenotypic stigmata, such as the
cranial asymmetry of Pericles, Kant and Dante; the sub-microcephaly of Descartes;
the small stature of Horace, Plato and Epicurus.
Lombroso's participation in the Moscow Congress inspired him to test his theory about the
pathology of genius. Why not meet Leo Tolstoy, the supreme genius of world literature, in
his natural habitat, to scrutinize his features and confirm his theories by seeing Tolstoy's
degenerative aspects with his own eyes? Like a naturalist embarking on a tour of South
America to test his evolutionary theories, Lombroso decided to take himself to Tolstoy's
home, known as Yasnaya Polyana. For Lombroso the writer represented the "true disguised
genius of alienation . . . in whom, one might say, the sicker the body, the more sublime the
[intellectual] products". He imagined Tolstoy would be "cretinous and degenerate-looking".
[Tolstoy found Lombroso to be an ingenuous + limited old life form]
On arriving at Tolstoy's house, Lombroso found himself face to face with a soldierly-looking
old man, whose penetrating eyes and severe bony face seemed more like those of a good,
solid peasant who had served in the army than those of a thinker. Physically there was
nothing degenerate about him. His attitude was calm, correct and friendly; there was certainly
method in his 'madness'.
But when the conversation took a turn that opposed Tolstoy's ideas, Lombroso realized the
"total impossibility of engaging him in debate without irritating him".
