everything and nothing
(and other works from the ongoing video installation untitled, 1999-2002)
Jayce Salloum
YYZ Artists' Outlet
September 11 - October 26
Opening Wednesday September 11, 7:00 PM
An ongoing multi-channel video installation continuing Jayce Salloum's
series of projects addressing social and political realities and
representations. It focuses on borders, nationalisms, movements, and
subjectivities, and the conditions of living between polarities of
culture, geography, history, and ideology. This installation takes the
approach of an active site, a living archive for the viewer to spend time
in. Tapes presented were produced in or around Beirut; Badawwi and the
Sabra& Shatilla refugee camps, Lebanon; Ljubjana; Zagreb; Sarajevo;
Belgade; Skopje; Paris; New York; Vienna; Vancouver and points
in-between. Both audio and visual are presented in a setting that
encourages viewers to relax and engage with the material at will.

resistance. In the effort to validate ones existence, the edifying and the

Mark Dean sets the precedence for the exhibition presenting a mute and

photographs, etc
All kind of artistic approaches and views on the subject are welcome.
*Festival Statement: 'Art and violence both seem to stem from the
abstract: that place beyond logic, the realm of the emotion. When they
intersect we are simultaneously repelled and attracted, frightened and
excited. Historically this meeting has been wrought with complexity, and
as cultural violence in every society increases, we are prevented by
paranoia, censorship and ethical demands from asking, and sometimes even
posing, some of the most important questions violence and art together and
separately produce: how is violence represented, and what or how much of
it do we need to resist the cultivation of fear and the encouragement of
dependency? Is violence a tool, a process or a result? When are artistic
portrayals of violence justifiable? As intellectual exercise, ritual, or
spiritual enhancement? For other purposes? Or are they never justifiable?
Is violence in art an action, reaction, or reflection? '
**The art works can be submitted
a) net based works as URL
b) any other kind of art work as
following digital file typs:
text:.txt, .doc, plain email text

THE ARTWORLD, COMMUNITY & ACTIVISM: A MEDITATION INSPIRED BY THE EVENTS OF
SEPTEMBER 11TH
In the wake of September 11th, we are awash in government- and mass media
rhetoric about "patriotism," "sacrifice," and "change." Many of these
representations serve to further the already-defined agenda of those in
power, rather than to promote discussion and democracy. Art's role in
crisis--if it is regarded as relevant at all--is seen as entirely
therapeutic.
Crisis creates pressures to dispense with business-as-usual, sometimes
revealing the real (cultural) fissures of the day. In terms of arts
practice, we might consider such questions as: What does community mean in a
Western culture of increasing transience, materialism and diminishing public
space? Given the apotheosis of the artist as an individual genius for the
past 500 years, is the very idea of post-Renaissance art involving community
a contradiction in terms? Why have exemplars of community-minded, often
public art been excluded from the art-historical canon? (Consider the
performances of Suzanne Lacy, the confrontational AIDS-activist works by the
Gran Fury collective and many others, and even Joseph Beuys's founding of
the Free University in 1972.) What effective community-oriented initiatives
have been created online? What catalytic or symbol-making role can artists
play in times of crisis? How can critical works find their place in an
entertainment-oriented museum culture? And in an increasingly monolithic,
mass-media age how can the arts promote the emergence of diverse and
independent voices?
This illustrated lecture will address these matters, tracing the
post-sixties history of activist art and the emergence of organizations such
as Artists Call Against U.S. Intervention in Central America and Visual
AIDS, as a backdrop for considering both current cultural conditions and
artistic practice. The evolving interpretations--and use and abuse--of
recent representations of September 11th related to its one-year
commemoration will also be discussed.
ROBERT ATKINS, a New York-based art historian and writer, is the initiator
of 911‹THE SEPTEMBER 11 PROJECT: Cultural Intervention in Civic Society
(http://rhizome.org/911) and a founder of Visual AIDS, the group that
originated Day Without Art and the Red Ribbon. . A former columnist for The
Village Voice, he is currently working on an anthology of his writing called
"Eye/I Witness: Art Writing as Activism, Criticism and Reportage." A
contributor to more than 100 publications throughout the world, he has
received awards for art criticism from the NEA, Manufacturers Hanover Bank
and, last year, the first Penny McCall Award for achievement in the visual
arts. He is the author of the best-selling "ArtSpeak: A Guide to
Contemporary Ideas, Movements and Buzzwords," its companion "ArtSpoke: A
Guide to Modern Ideas, Movements and Buzzwords 1848-1944," and "From Media
to Metaphor: Art About AIDS," the book accompanying the exhibition of the
same name, the first travelling museum show of its kind.
Atkins has taught at numerous universities and art schools, most recently
the Rhode Island School of Design, and is a Fellow at the STUDIO for
Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University. Founding editor of Artery:
The AIDS-Arts Forum (www.artistswithaids.org/artery), media-arts editor for
The Media Channel (www.mediachannel.org), he also founded, in 1995, the
City University of New York-sponsored TalkBack! A Forum for Critical
Discourse (http://talkback.lehman.cuny.edu/tb), the first American online
journal about online art. From 1996-98, he held the position of
editor-in-chief of the Arts Technology Entertainment Network, a New York
Times start-up company producing arts programming for the Internet and cable
TV. And He has also curated exhibitions for far-flung venues including the
Sao Paulo Bienal, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, and the

(http://www.rich-air.com:8083/garlicF/register.jsp
SIGN ON FOR ONLINE TRADING IN DIGITAL COMMONS - SEPT 1 through 29, 2002
(Please use netscape 6.0 or ie 5.x to access.)
Creative Time is pleased to present GARLIC=RICH AIR (http://www.rich-air.com),
the second and third phases of St(r)eaming the Fields, a field harvesting and
public network project conceived by Shu Lea Cheang with funding provided by
the ìChallenge to the Fieldî award from Lyn Blumenthal Memorial Fund for
Independent Media.
In a fictional "after the crash" scenario, organic garlic has been recently
ordained as new social currency, serving as "credito" for a global shared
network. In the first phase of this project, Cheang organized the harvesting
of 10,000 garlic plants, cultivated by organic farmer Tovey Halleck in upstate
New York, by generations of old and new media artists this summer. These
organic cloves, which took 10 years to cultivate, constitutes the garlic
standard in this artist initiated economy.
GARLIC CREDITO TRUEQUE CLUB
Starting September 1st, the garlic credito trading system launched at
www.rich-air.com where market denominators include digital bytes, bandwidth,
domains, URLs, network, system and software. This second phase of the project
invites the public to join the GARLIC CREDITO TRUEQUE CLUB by signing up for
online trading in the digital commons at
http://www.rich-air.com:8083/garlicF/register.jsp (Please use netscape 6.0 or
ie 5.x to access.) Members accrue garlic credito by investing digital images,
programming code scripts and other virtual items for trade. In this
participatory economy, the value of the credito is created by the Trueque Club
community.
GET GARLIC. GO WIRELESS:
Wireless network nodes as Mobile Urban Farm Stands
Once the valuation of the garlic credit has been established, the third phase
of the project focuses on enacting a virtual to physical commodities exchange
through New York Cityís wi-fi network. On September 27, 28, 29, 2002 a
designer truck equipped with loads of garlic and wireless technology will
serve as a mobile urban farm stand. The truck will utilize selected New York
City wireless network nodes for online and onsite street trading activities.
Members of online credito trueque club can exchange virtual garlic with
edible organic garlic at the designated truck posts. Passersby will also be
welcome to participate in garlic trading with their own offers. Creative Time
will host the truck in DUMBO on the occasion of the Consuming Places
exhibition. GARLIC=RICH AIR will be running concurrently with Marjectica
Potrcís Urban Independent workshop that further explores models of
participatory urban planning, discusses possible implications for their
communities, and considers future scenarios for applications in New York City.

Subject: Invitation Bauhaus Kolleg Serve City Presentation
Dear friends,
the 3. Bauhaus Kolleg Serve City is nearing its end, and you are cordially
invited to attend the final presentation of the 3rd trimester projects on
September 13, 2002 from 1.30 pm until 8.00 pm in the Bauhaus Auditorium.
During the last 3 months in the Bauhaus and before that on a 10-day
excursion to Sydney we have researched the impact of information and
communication technology on the urban fabric of Sydney. After a decade of
statements that the new information technology will change our cities, the
question is still open how that will materialise.
Key questions are: Is there a chance or need for architecture and urbanism
to react or support this development? How will the organisation process of
the service industries shape the cities and can we plan urban conditions
according to these phenomena?
Please join us for an insightful discussion of these topics in the
auditorium
Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Gropiusallee 38, 06468 Dessau
on September 13, 2002 . The day will end with refreshments and music on the
Bauhaus stage open ended!
For those who cannot be with us in person there is of course ICT!
The presentation will be broadcast life on the Internet at
http://www.bauhaus-dessau.de/en/index.asp
I am looking forward to welcoming you

- - Branislav Sarkanjac Ph.D., philosopher
- - Zoran Petrovski, art historian
General Idea of the project
The rapid changes that the countries of South-East Europe are confronted with make it a necessity and
essential challenge to perform a certain "archaeological cut" through the different heterogeneous layers
of the Balkan region. Therefore the international Conference UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS is
conceived as a challenge to examining the alteration stratum of the Balkans, concentrating strongly on
questions of society, culture, art, and history. Reflections and analysis dedicated to these complex issues
are examined during the Conference.
UNDERSTANDING THE BALKANS in this goal attempted to focus on examining the intersection of the acquired
codes in the social, historical, cultural context we have used on the Balkans in our immediate past, as well as
in considering the changes through which our societies, and culture, are undergoing over the past decades.
Themes to be discussed
1. Codes Not Understood: Reasons and Consequences
2. Identities: Creation and Use
3. Mediated Images: Theory and Creation
4. Networks: New Quality or Redundant Accumulation

Organised by SPACEX and STAR, with support from the Afoundation, the
Institute of Digital Art & Technology and the National Touring Programme of
the Arts Council of England.
GENERATOR presents a series of 'self-generating' projects, incorporating
digital media, instruction and participation pieces, drawing machines,
experimental literature and music technologies. All work is produced 'live',
in real-time, with some elements continuing indefinitely. 'Generative art'
is a term generally used to refer to any practice where the artist creates a
process, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a
machine, or other procedural invention, which is then set into motion with
some degree of autonomy, contributing to or resulting in a completed work of
art. After the initial parameters have been set the process of production is
unsupervised, and, as such, 'self-organising' and 'time-based'.
One aim of the exhibition is to frame the emerging art practice of computer
software programming within a context of conceptual art. Without a critical
awareness of how and by whom programs are written, much so-called 'digital
art' is effectively an unacknowledged collaboration with corporate software,
where the apparent freedom to manipulate data is entirely governed by the
pre-determined rules of the code. By writing their own code, in programming
languages like Perl, RealBASIC or C, software artists such as Alex McLean,
Cornelia Sollfrank, Joanna Walsh, Adrian Ward or Netochka Nezvanova, are
able not only to by-pass the media monopoly of corporate software but to
create their own generative algorithms that function within the basic
'grammar' of the computer operating system itself.
GENERATOR also presents a series of new commissions by renowned conceptual
artists. Sol LeWitt has made a new bookwork, entitled Chicago, which he
describes as "a serial variation using found postcards of Chicago, showing
the city during day and night". Co-founder of the Fluxus movement, Yoko Ono
presents a number of participation pieces, using simple scores with
instructions for participants to generate the work. In Angus Fairhurst's
piece Fainter and Fainter high street banks are called up and played back
previous calls, until the system becomes chaotic. He also presents two new
drawing pieces, inviting the audience to follow a simple set of instructions
to produce the work. Stuart Brisley's collaboration with Adrian Ward,
Ordure, presents a giant digital image of detritus that slowly turns to
dust, pixel by pixel, the more it is viewed, only renewing itself when left
alone. Tim Head presents two new code-based, digital works that continue his
exploration of the physical composition of the computer screen itself and
the nature of electronic space.
In both conceptual and software art, the 'concept' (or formal instructions)
is the actual material of the work, and the physical appearance or outcome
is thus incidental to the execution of the 'plan' or notation. As with
literature, the work is primarily concerned with the uses of language, and
thus not bound to objects or sites. GENERATOR also presents a number of
experimental text-based works. Jeff Instone's collaborative project with
Joanna Walsh, Oulibot, is an internet-based 'web-crawler' inspired by OuLiPo
(Ouvroir de Litterature Potentielle), a group of experimental writers and
mathematicians who worked within literary constraints. Alec Finlay presents
Irish (2), in collaboration with photographer, Guy Moreton, and sound
artist, Zoe Irvine, a sequel to Irish, his collaboration with Sol LeWitt,
based around different translations of the same poem by Paul Celan. Colin
Sackett's prose work Essayes has been re-arranged according to the rule of
'extent' while the online version, extendedessayes, uses the same rule, but
invites contributions from the public. As part of the Vivaria project, the
research group STAR work with Sulawesi crested macaques in a live web-link
to Paignton Zoo, inviting monkeys to re-write the complete works of
Shakespeare online.
Other projects include Mark Bowden's Polymorph, a machine that acts as a
physical interface between mechanical and digital systems, presented in
collaboration with limbomedia, and Organogenesis Inc's Integument, a
step-by-step bio-tech guide to growing the surface area of your own body, in
vitro.

Subject: THE INDIVIDUAL PROTEST/The Pudas BOX
THE INDIVIDUAL PROTEST
The Pudas BOX
Welcome to opening 14/9 12 00 to 17 00
The aim is to investigate the individual protest and put in relationship to
collective struggle.
The centerpiece of the show is a standardized box.
The box can be used as a vehicle for an individual protest.
The box is a sculpture inspired by a real event 1982 when a taxi driver from
Tornedalen ( the bilingual district of Sweden neighboring Finland ) got his
permission to drive taxi withdrawn by the local municipality.
During the winter 1982-83 the taxi driver Folke Pudas committed a hunger strike
in a box in the center of Stockholm, to figth for his rigths.
Folke Pudas won the battle and got support from the European Court in
Strassbourg.
During the exhibition it will be possible to book the box for an individual
protest.
Already the chairman of the swedish artist assosiation has booked time.
His protest will be for the rigth of an artist to live on his work.
So dont hesitate.
Protest!

transmediale salon:
Underground Zero - a collaborative video art project
Mittwoch / Wednesday, 11. September 2002, 19 - 22 Uhr
Podewil, Klosterstr.68-70, Berlin-Mitte
Reservierungen: 030-2474 9777
Eintritt: EUR 5 (Kombiticket mit "Musik im Klub": EUR 8)
(in Englischer Sprache)
Eine Woche nach den Ereignissen des 11. September 2001 riefen die Filmemacher
Jay Rosenblatt und Caveh Zahedi über 150 Experimental- und Dokumentarfilmer an,
um sie zu bitten, einen Beitrag zu einem kollektiven Filmprojekt zu machen, das
sich auf das Attentat und seine Nachwirkungen bezieht. Diese beiden Programme,
bestehend aus insgesamt 31 Arbeiten, sind das Resultat: Jedes Video zeigt einen
ganz individuellen Blick auf die Geschehnisse, dabei variierend zwischen
persönlichem Statement und sachlicher Beobachtung.
Die zweiteilige Kompilation "Underground 0" verflacht dabei nicht zur Anklage,
sondern deckt ein ganzes Spektrum von Reaktionen und Haltungen innerhalb und
ausserhalb der USA ab, die durch ihre Vielfältigkeit und Expressivität zur
Auseinandersetzung anregen.
[English:] Filmmakers Jay Rosenblatt and Caveh Zahedi contacted artist
colleagues right after 9-11 and put together a two-part programme of 31
individual video works that reflect the events around the attack on the
WTC. Without bland accusations, Underground Zero represents a wide spectrum
of reactions and attitudes in and outside the USA.
The complete programme ist available at
Das komplette Programm finden Sie auf www.transmediale.de

22.00
Musik im Klub: Berlin meets ...
grundrauschen (Berlin) meets ground fault recordings (San Francisco)
Niels Loewenhardt, Scott Arfords, Randy H.Y. Yau, Michael Contreras
(Live-Elektronik)
LOE ist Niels Loewenhardts durch zarte Popsounds beeinflußtes Knusper-Projekt
(neben *lol*). Scharfe Schnipsel rascheln im geordneten Chaos und wühlen sich
durch dunkel atmosphärische Flächen. Harmonische Fetzen öffnen die Tracks zu
einem dreidimensionalen, filigranen Klangmonster. www.grundrauschen.net
Unendlich komplex und gleichzeitig unveränderlich ist Scott Arfords
audiovisuelle Arbeit. Der Block aus Sound und Image ist nur in den kleinsten
Teilen wahrnehmbar - als Beweis, daß Unendlichkeit aus endlichen Teilen
besteht.
Arfords schafft Einheiten aus der Reibungselektrizität von Radio und TV,
magnetischen und elektrischen Störungen. Ein Berlin-Debüt. www.7hz.org
Während seiner Europa-Tour präsentiert Randy H.Y. Yau seine berüchtigte
Mega-Mouth-Performance: reines Feedback, orale Ausbrüche und räumliche
Bewegungen mit dem elektronisch veränderten Kinderspielzeug "Mega Mouth".
www.23five.org/rhy
MK9, das neue Projekt von Michael Contreras, bringt die facettenreichen Aspekte
von negativen Gefühlszuständen via Klang in Zusammenhang mit der menschlichen
Psyche: aufgeladenes Brummen, pulsierende Frequenzen, verzerrte Vocals und
Flüstern, überlagert von Visuals. www.spastiks.com, www.mk9.org
