PRESS RELEASE
Amsterdam, March 1, 1997
SECRET IGC DOCUMENTS PUBLISHED ON THE INTERNET
Nel van Dijk, MEP for GroenLinks (NL), as of today will publish on the
Internet a selection of documents drafted by the Dutch EU presidency for the
Intergovernmental Conference (IGC).
The location (URL) is http://www.xs4all.nl/~nelvdijk.
The IGC is preparing the revision of the Treaty on the European Union, to be
concludes at the Amsterdam Euro Summit coming June.
The utterly confidential documents are the so-called non-papers, containing
the Dutch Presidency's proposals for the revision of the Maastricht treaty.
Two documents are published to start with, one on flexibility in the
European Union and another on the extension of qualified majority voting in
the council of ministers.
In the coming days other documents will appear on Nel van Dijk's Internet site.
Nel van Dijk:" Some days ago the media reported that the Dutch presidency
had been criticized by other governments for going beyond the limits of
openness. On a Internet server of a European research and developments
program, CORDIS,(http://www.cordis.lu/dutch.html) the Dutch presidency in a
special corner had published the minutes of a European working party on
R & D. Well even that was too much for some. I cannot trace anymore the
document that caused the uproar. Furtively deleted ?
The documents that I publish concern the future of Europe and should be
public. Secrecy in Europe, namely on Council level is that strict that the
documents even are not entitled to a name, so they call them non-papers.
I think interested citizens are entitled to know where we are heading. And
what I read in the documents, is not exactly predicting much for democracy,
however if they are accessible anyone can get to know them unfiltered and
make up his /her minds.?"

Subject: 6th International VilŽm Flusser Symposium
Intersubjectivity:
media metaphors, play & provocation
6th international VilŽm Flusser symposium & event series
march 15-19 1997 budapest hungary
C3, in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Budapest, Mžcsarnok (Kunsthalle
Budapest) and the Intermedia Department of the Hungarian Academy of Fine
Arts, will present the 6th International VilŽm Flusser Symposium and series
of related events, entitled "Intersubjectivity: media metaphors, play &
provocation," from March 15 - 19, 1997, in Budapest, Hungary. Our aim is to
continue the discussion of the theoretical work of VilŽm Flusser and to
demonstrate the importance of his writings regarding the European, in
particular Hungarian, context. Invited international and Hungarian speakers
will present lectures dealing with the elements of provocation and play, key
concepts of Flusser's oeuvre, and on media metaphors and intersubjectivity,
as well as drawing parallels to the recent theoretical media issues of our
region.
The two-day symposium held at the Mžcsarnok will be accompanied by an
exhibition of works by Hungarian artists reflecting on Flusser, presented in
the ExplorationLab, media gallery of C3. The official opening of the entire
series of events will coincide with the opening of the exhibition
"Reflections on Flusser" on March 15, 18:00, at C3. The symposium takes
place March 16-17, 10:00-19:00, at the Mucsarnok (Kunsthalle Budapest),
Torley Terem, at Hosok tere (Heroes Sq.). All lectures and discussions will
be simultaneously translated in Hungarian, English and German. Over two
evenings, public events at Goethe-Institut Budapest will also expand upon
the works of Flusser. There will also be multimedia presentations by
Hungarian artists and media experts, as well as the presentation of two
Hungarian translations of Flusser's works. These events take place on March
18 at 18:00 and March 19 at 19:00.
