From: Tom Sherman <twsherma@mailbox.syr.edu>
Subject: SUB/EXTROS...HALF/LIVES


FOUR NEW VIDSONIC TRACKS FROM TOM SHERMAN
IN COLLABORATION WITH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MINOTAUR
AND BERNHARD LOIBNER


SUB/EXTROS, Tom Sherman (with Christian Science Minotaur,
and Bernhard Loibner), 2001, three vidsonic tracks, 5+ minutes each.

Sherman has combined the video streams of scores of private webcams with
the music of Christian Science Minotaur, a Brooklyn, NY-based group, and
that of Bernhard Loibner of Vienna, Austria.  This is Sherman's first
collaboration with CSM; Sherman and Loibner have collaborated extensively,
often as the performance and recording duo Nerve Theory.

This new series of vidsonic compositions offers a provocative update on
the state of global personal communication in 2001.  Millennium culture is
virtually synonymous with personal communication as mobile telephony and
wireless computing spread like wildfire.  With faster machines and
line-speed the picture-phone has finally arrived and with it there are new
forms of behaviour and attitude.  Today's webcam operators are
simultaneously pinned down and in control.  The video chat-line is the
domain of submissive extroverts, the "SUB/EXTROS."

- -----

HALF/LIVES, Tom Sherman (with Bernhard Loibner) 2001,
6 minutes 45 seconds.

Sherman and Loibner team up on a vidsonic blues track, a stark, moving
picture of long-distance relationships in the millennial era.  The scene
is a global video chat-line, where the personal politics of the gaze are
played out ad infinitum.  Anonymity and falsehoods are underwritten by
explicit self-image.  This is the place where to see and be seen is
everything.  Today's webcam culture makes Sartre's "Being and Nothingness"
read like a documentary.  The strange thing is there's real emotional tone
in the distanced, distorted, muted contact.  Loibner's mix of music and
Sherman's voice drives home the very real loneliness of the halting video
streams.  There's an empty feeling in HALF/LIVES; its the incompleteness
at the core of so many totally wired digital realities.

Subject: Invitation

The Contemporary Art  Center - Skopje, Macedonia
cordially invite you to attend the opening of the exhibition


I seek You on Water

Wednesday, 18.07.2001, 9 PM
CIX gallery


The project contains two parts:
A performance recorded on the river Vardar and Ohrid Lake.
An exhibition in the CIX gallery, consisted of an installation and a video projection from the performance.

The performance is consisted from lots of written messages in several languages (English, Greek, Albanian, Macedonian, Spanish...) put into transparent bottles that are marked with small flags. They were put in the river and the lake to float, where they begin their own travel, waiting to be found and read.
The installation is made from about twenty bottles thrown around on the 7 cm layer of sound on the part of the gallery floor. The messages are put in the bottles to tell that they will not wander around eternally and they will come to the goal. (Nikola Pisarev)

How to be an Obstacle: Ending Neoliberalism and the Anti-Globalisation
Movement

... globalization, the project that soon discovers that poor people, people
in opposition - which is to say the majority of the population - are
obstacles. Subcommandante Insurgente Marcos
The anti-globalisation movement now stretches around the globe.  Chiapas,
Seattle, Prague, Manila, Quebec... But what is the nature of the movement?
Some wonder if it is too diffuse and all-inclusive.  How can it embrace
globalising communications, like the Internet, but reject globalisation?
What is opposed in neoliberal globalisation - and what might replace it?
What are the problems posed by conducting direct action against an
abstraction like globalisation, rather than on specific sites such as a road
or GM crop?  Is the spectacular demonstration replacing nonviolent direct
action as the main weapon of struggle?


On the panel are Jim Carey from
Squall, an alternative media organisation which originated in the squatters
movement; Jai Redman, an artist and Earth First! Activist, who has been
taking radical direct action on numerous social justice and environmental
issues for 10 years, from protests against the WTO and IMF in Prague to
anti-GM protests in the UK; and Adam Lent, an activist with Charter 99 and
author of the forthcoming British Social Movements since 1945: sex, colour,
peace and power.  In the chair is Tim Jordan, co-editor of Social Movement
Studies (due to launch in 2002) who works at the Open University.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Excavation the Future
July 17, 2001
Deadline for proposals: October, 2001

Term: December, 2001

EXCAVATING THE FUTURE - ENCOUNTERS OF ARTISTS,  SCIENTISTS, HISTORIANS, AND
FUTUROLOGISTS

1.Virtual Man: An Archeology of Moving Pictures
Prague, December 4.5. 2001
Goethe Institut Prag, Center for Contemporary Art Prague

As we tend more and more rely on new communication technologies, we need to
understand where they are coming from and what the ramifications of their
use are. Hence there is internationally a growing interest in the history
and archeology of media. Excavating the Future seeks shed a light on this
questions and to facilitate this movement by connecting individuals and
institutions, artists and scientists, and by initiating their future
collaborations.
In his dissertation published in Prague in 1818, Jan Evangelista Purkyne
(Purkinje) was first to observe that we see an object a fraction of a second
after it disappears from our visual field. The discovery of this phenomenon,
which was described in a greater detail by Peter Mark Roget in 1824 and
called later persistence of vision, has been the basis of devices and media
that have turned still images into moving pictures, including cinema,
television, as well as digital audiovisual technology that is transforming
the present world.
Electronic media increasingly influence our everyday life as they provide us
with new possibilities and change the way of life as well as the way we
understand ourselves. This fastest growing field necessitates its
self-examination, a reflection of its historical and theoretical concepts
and preconceptions, raising questions such as follows:
How do cognitive models contribute to the evolution of electronic media and,
conversely, what is the role of digital technology in cognitive science? How
is the rapid growth of electronic media embedded in history?
How do cultural traditions condition the use and development of new media on
one hand, and how do new media reconfigure these traditions and our notion
of history on the other?
The conference will seek to confront the latest findings of cognitive
science with the present development of electronic media and their aesthetic
explorations by foregrounding self-reflectivity and historicity in these
closely related, and yet different fields. The purpose of this conference is
to bring together scientists and artists, artists who are using the
scinetific methods, historians and futurologists in the hope that such
encounters can contribute not only to the emerging field of electronic media
archeology and history but could also inspire new collaborations between
artists and scientists. The theme of the December conference, Virtual Man:
An Archeology of Moving Pictures, highlights the perception and simulation
of movement as a driving force behind the development of new media in the
last two hundred years.

The project Virtual Man is continuin of the Flusser Media symposium series
organized by Goethe Institut Prag between 1992 and 1999.

Organizers and their partners: The Goethe Institut and the Center for
Contemporary Art in Prague, Faculty of Fine Arts Technical University Brno,
Academy of Fine Arts Prague, The National Museum of Technology in Prague,
Center for Culture and Technology Budapest,  Institute for Advanced Studies
at Charles University and further initiatives and institutions.

Invited speakers: Lev Manovich, Miklos Peternak, Siegfried Zielinski,
Friedrich Kittler, Jonathan Crary, Tom Gunning, Erkki Huthamo, Semir Zeki,
Nicholas Wade, Knowbotic Research,  Jiri Fiala, Ivan Havel, Michael
Bielicky, Bohuslav Blazek, Andrej Smirnov, Carsten Holler, Roy Ascott.

From: "CBGnetwork" <CBGnetwork@gmx.net>
Subject: BAYER ATTACKS CRITICAL COVERAGE


Dear friends,
Bayer Corporation forced us to stop our homepage www.bayerwatch.org (see =
attached article). Please change your link to our new site: =
www.CBGnetwork.org
Our group will not be allowed to bear the name Bayerwatch. We have to =
use our German name CBG (Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren / =
Coordination against BAYER-dangers). Please change our name in your =
publications because we will be fined for using "Bayerwatch" and please =
spread the following article. Thanks for your cooperation!

BAYER ATTACKS CRITICAL COVERAGE
Economic superiority puts a stop to homepage

Bayer AG has forced the German group Coordination against BAYER-Dangers =
(CBG) to remove their homepage from the Internet by threatening them =
with heavy court costs. CBG had registered a domain and had oriented the =
name to be similar to other group names such as Germanwatch, AOLwatch, =
and Human Rights Watch. Bayer has taken legal action to apparently avoid =
confusion - despite the homepage's unequivocally critical orientation.

The company also forced the group to cancel the related trademark by =
threatening them with a second court case. The CBG had already =
successfully registered the aforementioned name with the Munich Patent =
Office. Bayer has assessed the amount of the controversies to be 250,000 =
DM (115.000 US$) each, which would have led to the CBG having to pay =
over 100,000 DM in court costs. The honorary association therefore had =
no other choice but to concede by canceling the trademark and homepage.

The Patent Office's copyright investigation had reviewed whether there =
was any danger of confusion as a result of the copyrighted trademark and =
had determined that there was none. Bayer's arguments are also ignoring =
a recent court decision that declared that a domain name cannot be =
viewed separately from the contents of a homepage.

Axel Koehler-Schnura had the following to say about the issue: "Bayer's =
behavior in this issue, which is clearly directed towards the network's =
economic ruin is clearly an attack on democratic principles and freedom =
of opinion. The company is obviously afraid of a public discussion and =
has instead chosen repression and the devastating power of money". =
According to Koehler-Schnura, the association does not want to waste its =
energy on legal hair-splitting on letters, but instead chooses to =
continue to publicize the company's role in causing environmental =
damage, maintaining worker exploitation and endangering human health =
throughout the world.

The Bayer Group's attempts to prohibit the CBG from criticizing the =
company on the Internet have failed. You can now find all of the =
network's information and publications (including English newsletter =
Keycode Bayer) at www.cbgnetwork.org. However, the proceedings have =
already used up an exorbitant amount of money, which could threaten the =
group's existence. The CBG is therefore urgently asking for financial =
backing against the expensive legal attacks. Please show your support =
and transfer money to the following German bank account:=20
Oekobank, account number 17 96 12, bank routing number (BLZ) 500 901 00=20
In addition, the CBG is asking associated groups to stage protests =
against this attack at the Bayer headquarters. An initial attempt by =
Bayer to silence the group was rejected by the Bundesverfassungsgericht =
(German Federal Constitutional Court) in 1992. The CBG has been =
campaigning against the questionable practices of Bayer's international =
operations for over 20 years.


CBG/Coordination against BAYER-dangers collects information about BAYER =
and coordinates activities against violations of human and environmental =
rights caused by this company. Anyone who has information on possibly =
illicit activities of BAYER - please let us know. Anyone who needs =
photos or information concerning BAYER is invited to contact us:
