Packer, Secretary of the US Department of Art & Technology in Washington, DC, will announce a new campaign, "10,000 Acts of Artistic Mediation," intended to mobilize artistic forces across the nation in anticipation of the National Election in 2004. The Secretary will also discuss the recent activation of a new artist-driven political party, the Experimental Party, the "party of experimentation," in the Department's effort to bring the artists' message to center stage of the political process. The Experimental Party intends to recruit, support, and coordinate viable artists to celebrate the universal spirit of collective expression, to seek volunteers to help speak oracular truths and the most radically liberating critique of reason, and to engage students in acts of appropriation through art and polemic, manifesto and demonstration, love and politics. Calling him "a man of great integrity, a man of great judgment and a man who knows the arts," President George W. Bush announced his decision to nominate Randall M. Packer to serve as Secretary of the United States Department of Art and Technology on November 12, 2001. Upon confirmation by the Senate, Packer pledged to renew the war on cultural poverty, reduce the incidence of a one-way exchange of information between an active agent and a passive recipient, and combat discrimination so no American feels outside the field of aesthetic inquiry of the contemporary media arts. ****** The Experimental Party http://www.experimentalparty.org The Experimental Party - the "party of experimentation" - is an artist-based political party that has been formed to activate citizens across the country in an effort to bring the artists' message to center stage of the political process. This is a political awakening, 'representation through virtualization' is the major political thrust of the Experimental Party, it is the driving force. The US Department of Art & Technology http://www.usdept-arttech.net The US Department of Art and Technology is the United States principal conduit for facilitating the artist's need to extend aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real action. It also serves the psychological and spiritual well-being of all Americans by supporting cultural efforts that provide immunity from the extension of new media technologies into the social sphere. - --============_-1167750372==_ma============ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 16:29:05 -0800 (PST) From: Ryan Griffis <grifray@yahoo.com> Subject: high tech trash and "developing nations" http://cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/environ/hitech_trash/ a story from last October by the CBC on the transplantation of Computer waste to "poor" countries, and the environmental/human effects. lots of good info and links. a video clip: http://www.cbc.ca/clips/ram-lo/johnson_techtrash021021.ram __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The subject reignes over the alienated object! Language is the code of power!* Therefore "smash the surface" and concrete it in a new way. The concrete_machine (TM) liberates the language from the dominating code into the pictorial concrete. It was already in the last century that language seemed suspicious to numerous artistic movements. The Cubists and Dadaists collaged text-fragments into pictures. Dada dissolved words into sounds. The Lettrists reduced language which they understood as aesthetically exhausted to the single letter. The concrete poets composed letter-pictures and the utopias of the 70ies tried to convert the ruling code. The concrete_machine (TM) will go on this road to the very end. Compute the text: give it to concrete_machine (TM) and so make a free picure of it. - ------------------------------- - -- http://www.s.netic.de/auer/ http://www.netzliteratur.net http://www.concrete-maschine.de ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 00:06:17 +0100 From: fran ilich <ilich@delete.tv> Subject: Big [B]Other Big [B]Other Text-based reality show, February 1 - March, 2003 Part of How Latitudes Become Forms: Art in a Global Age http://bigbother.walkerart.org Part of: http://latitudes.walkerart.org Eduardo Arcos (Ecuador/Mexico), Teresa Arozena (Tenerife), Teresa Delgado (Berlin), Tony Dushane (San Francisco), Cindy Gabriela Flores (Mexico City), Jeroen Goulouze (Groningen, Netherlands), Fran Ilich (Mexico City/Berlin), Pedro Jimenez (Seville, Spain), German Maggiori (Buenos Aires), Osfavelados (Seville, Spain), Pacho (Mexico City), DJ Pod (San Francisco), Luis H. Rosales (Tijuana, Mexico), Tatiana Wells (Sao Paolo). big [b]Other is a text-based reality show / community blog organized by Fran Ilich with 13 other participants also working with media. It will run from February 1 to March 1, 2003. big [b]Other is in part a reaction to the supposed reality TV epitomized by shows in the United States such as Big Brother, Survivor, Fear Factor and any number of other programs that are, in fact, slickly produced and heavily manipulated narratives that have little in common with real life. Like many of the artists in How Latitudes Become Forms, the participants in big [b]Other intend through this modest, contemporary practice to blog about the daily experiences of their lives. They will be writing from behind their monitors, situated in different geographies, but sharing the common space of their communications; sharing their inner worlds, their net.browsing, their media projects. Audiences anywhere on the Internet will be able to ,listen in0/00 on these conversations (in Spanish and English) among media activists and artists from across Latin America, participating virtually and vicariously in a different kind of reality show that bothers to attempt to self-consciously but openly explore the many Others that constitute our globally (dis)connected world. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 13:24:46 -0800 From: "Lori Gaskill" <lorijgaskill@attbi.com> Subject: Alt-X Press Releases New Wiley Wiggins Ebook This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_01F2_01C2D1D0.F2429DD0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable IMMEDIATE RELEASE ALT-X PRESS RELEASES NEW EBOOK BY WRITER, ACTOR AND DIGITAL ARTIST WILEY WIGGINS BOULDER, Colorado, February 11, 2003 -- The Alt-X Online Network, "where the digerati meet the literati," announces the release of "Solarcon-6," = an ebook collection of stories by Wiley Wiggins. Wiggins' "Solarcon-6" is the ninth ebook in the Alt-X Press series which features other titles by artists including Eugene Thacker, Mark Amerika, Adrienne Eisen, and Alan Sondheim. According to Wiggins, star of Richard Linklater's groundbreaking "Waking Life" film, "like many other self-important young people who feel mistakenly that the sound of their own voice is more important than that of traffic or radio static, through much of my life I have kept = journals. Horrified by the embarrassingly dull minutiae of my own life, I usually fill these instead with something that doesn't quite pass for = 'fiction'." A blurb for the book from an Austin comrade reminds us that "we always thought Wiley would be an actor or a technophiliac, probably the former with his star turns in Linklater's 'Dazed and Confused' and 'Waking = Life.' He was into zines, too (weren't we all?), but who knew he could really write?" Alt-X is now about to celebrate its 10-year anniversary of innovating = new modes of artistic research and development, and as part of its longstanding strategy of utilizing the strengths of world wide web publishing, all of the Alt-X Press titles are available to readers for free without corporate advertising. Alt-X Press ebooks are available at www.altx.com/ebooks ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 14:22:48 +0100 (MET) From: joanne richardson <subsol@mi2.hr> Subject: subsol (online publication announcement) SUBSOL >>> http://subsol.c3.hu The new version of SUBSOL is now online.

For months we've been living in the long shadow of September 11. Now we're seeing that the war on terror is something else as well: an entrenched defense of an unsustainable culture of fear and self-interest. There's never been a more important time for all-out activism, and here at Adbusters, well - - we're cooking up some plans. - -------------- THE YEAR AHEAD - -------------- Adbusters magazine The May/June issue of Adbusters will mark a triple milestone. First, it will push our worldwide circulation to well over the crucial 100,000 barrier. Second, we will finally realize the goal of becoming a truly international magazine, with a 10,000-copy boost to our United Kingdom distribution. And third, readers worldwide will tune in to our first-ever CD of music and spoken-word jamming - which we'll include as a free insert. Mixed by master innovator DJ Spooky, the CD brings together some of the most outspoken and accomplished artists of our time. What's the new music of revolution? Try Ani DiFranco, Fugazi, Patti Smith, Coldcut, Allen Ginsberg, Public Enemy, Negativland and more. Design anarchy The second Adbusters book, _Design Anarchy_, will be in bookstores by Christmas 2003. Self-published and weighing in at 320 large-format pages, it will be an unmistakable catalog of the emerging anti-commercial design aesthetic. UK office Building on our increasing international presence, Adbusters will work to open a London office, tapping into Europe's deep well of radical writing and design. ABTV Our on-line multimedia ABTV project is already refreshing almost daily with new flash and video content from across the planet. We'll announce the winners of our first ever ABTV contest soon, and introduce the world to some of the best in activist new media. Legal action With respected Canadian lawyer Clayton Ruby on the case, Adbusters is preparing a high-level legal push for guaranteed public access to the television airways. Now the search is on for a strong legal team to push Media Carta - the Right to Communicate - in American courts as well. Subvertise Get ready for Meme Warfare Tonight. Imagine: working with some of the most powerful civil society groups in the world, we create a 180-day campaign of 60-second "subvertisements," soundbites and news from the activist front. In quick cuts and clever edits we create . . . a one-minute media revolution. Then we buy our way onto CNN. Watch for it. Corporate spots Don't forget Adbusters' ongoing campaigns. Watch for the CorporateSpotlight. It nailed Coke and Big Tobacco, and now its falling on Nike, AOL Time Warner, Eli Lilly and more. TV Turnoff Week is gaining power with the emerging Media Democracy movement, and Buy Nothing Day is growing so fast we can barely keep up. This year, look for our second major design campaign: the Blackspot Sneaker. The big companies having been saying for years that there's no way to make an eco-friendly, sweatshop-labor-free shoe. This year, we're going to prove them wrong. Exciting times call for an ambitious program, and after the successes of 2002, we know to aim high. To catch up on last year's highlights, read on. - ------------- LOOKING BACK - ------------- Selling out In its second year as a bi-monthly, Adbusters rapidly approached the 100,000 circulation barrier - and sold out of five of six issues published in 2002. www.adbusters.org Adbusters' website is a worldwide base for jammers to meet, plan, organize and talk. On Buy Nothing Day (Nov. 29, 2002), <http://adbusters.org> recorded 29,100 unique visits - a new record for our Webby-award winning website. Average unique visitors have now risen to a daily total of around 10,000. Television On August 7, 2002, we unveiled our most aggressive foray into television - the heart of pop culture. Hosted on <http://adbusters.org>, Adbusters TV lets online visitors watch a collection of culture jamming videos and subvertisements, including a daily spotlight video. Most videos were culled from our first-ever ABTV contest, which received almost 800 submissions from video artists around the globe. ABTV has already conquered the mainstream. An online campaign raised $18,400 to put our Burping Pig Buy Nothing Day uncommercial on CNN. Thanks to hundreds of supporters, our pig spot appeared in primetime on Lou Dobbs Moneyline. Earlier, during TV Turnoff Week (April 22-28), we aired an even cheekier 30 seconds of blank screen time. And on April 18, we reminded over a million CNN viewers that "television isn't real, but the addiction is." Campaigns In addition to the breakthrough CNN spot, we saw Buy Nothing Day festivals, teach-ins, protests and actions spread from Texas to Croatia, from Italy to Australia. At least one million consumers slipped off the corporate radar in 60 countries worldwide. The new Curb Your Consumption campaign enlisted the Queen, the Pope, a red-coated Canadian Mountie and Uncle Sam himself in the fight against rampant consumerism. See the <http://curbit.org> for updates, downloads, posters and more. Around the world Adbusters' staff and editors regularly speak at schools, conferences and conventions worldwide. Last year saw publisher and editor-in-chief Kalle Lasn travel to Israel for the Hebrew launch of his book, Culture Jam, and spoke at a branding conference in Zurich. In October 2002, Lasn joined creative director Mike Simons for a presentation for the Architecture + Design Forum at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Earlier in July, Simons joined associate art director Paul Shoebridge to speak at the Industrial Designers Society of America national conference in Monterey, California. And in late August, senior editor James MacKinnon and managing editor Aiden Enns took the Adbusters message to the Word Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. Roots Remember: it all started just 12 years ago. In 1989, publisher Kalle Lasn tried unsuccessfully to purchase TV airtime for an ad critiquing the forest industry. Lasn, together with Bill Schmalz, took action. That same year, they founded the non-profit Adbusters Media Foundation and published Vol. 1, No. 1 of Adbusters. The world has never been the same. It's still a wild ride every day, and we couldn't do it without you. Thanks, everyone, for your ongoing support. Sincerely, The Staff & Volunteers Adbusters Media Foundation - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Want to join the Culture Jammers Network?

It is written from an explicit perspective of opposition to all immigration controls. It rejects the notion that there can be “fair” or “anti-racist” controls. At the same time it aims to raise controversial debates within the movement against controls – not least as to what “no controls” means in respect to political practice. . The book begins by delineating the main issues and explaining the new Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act of 2002. Part One of the book provides a political background to immigration controls and shows why there cannot be fair or non-racist controls. Part Two provides the historical background and demonstrates how controls in this country have always been used against refugees – starting with the 1905 Aliens Act. Part Three examines internal welfare controls. Part Four looks at the international aspects of control and how a global fortress is being erected against migrants, immigrants and refugees. Part Five celebrates resistance to immigration controls. Part Six provides a conclusion and while hostile to all controls looks critically both at the arguments for “fair” controls and for no immigration controls. Steve Cohen has been an immigration lawyer and an activist against immigration controls for two decades. He was previously coordinator of Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit. 0ISBN 1 85856 291 0 276 pages, 228mm x 145mm, price 17.99 (sterling) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2003 16:05:03 +1000 From: linda carroli <lcarroli@pacific.net.au> Subject: fAf Jan-Feb03: Blackout: Indigenous New Media Arts Collective - --=====================_82617467==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed fAf January - February 2003 BLACKOUT: INDIGENOUS NEW MEDIA ARTS COLLECTIVE fineArt forum = art + technology netnews http://www.fineartforum.org http://www.cdes.qut.edu.au/fineart_online BLACKOUT This month, Blackout, a site created by Jenny Fraser, is launched.

After the series of meetings performed in the different centers (25-29/04/02 Barcelona, 25-28/07/02 Berlin, 14-17/11/02 Ciudad de Mexico) I begin the development of the website. This virtual space was created following a series of proposals from the former meetings, with more than 350 persons. Visual action and dynamics, that exploit different techniques and shapes... visit us and give your contribution. The project will last the whole year 2003. Every fortnight the site will change the thematic and shapes. PassDoc is an artistic site, a multimedial work in continuous mutation (work in progress), as a living being or a city, that slowly grows and develops. It is a creation, and it will last for a whole year. It will be transformed with the integration of new works by the artist Domenico Olivero. Its name means passage and documentation, it is a fantastic labyrinth constituted by different shapes and spaces, both virtual and real. Reflection: It is always more difficult, but perhaps impossible, to find the works that represent the reality, in a clear and univocal way. That can give aesthetic substance to the world around us, to describe the universe where we live. The tradition does not get forward a new meaning of today's life, everything is new, independent or so much concatenated that it is impossible to understand its origin. Today there are not total truths but different ones. The totality is born from its segmentation. The false global vision reveals itself, when you come near to it as ...., fragment, probably the single parts are more significant than the totality. Every new creation is a form that needs to absorb and grow, fluid, reflexive, and so wants to be this new art-web project, expressing as good as possible the modernity always more difficult to be understood and without a definition.
