        The  personal  corporation called: LIFE
        A  new site  investigating the power of
        the  omnipotence  and  omnipresence  of
        the CyberNet  for an  individual person
        and  how to  make a  suitable interface
        to  make real contact with other people.

        On this site you find Me. You can watch
        all parts of  my  Body.  The product on
        this site is ME. The 'software' you can
        buy is MY work. The hardware you can in-
        vest in is MY life.  It is time to care
        for a  rich and responsible  electronic
        environment  that  is  made for people!
        We,  you at  home, must emphasize human
        responsibility for cocreating the multi-
        verse.

        The  Body is one of the things in which
        our true feelings are located,but it is
        not the only one.  Least of  all is the
        self limited to the body.      A person
        literally projects or trows himself out
        of the body, and anywhere at all.

NEW LISTSERVE ANNOUNCEMENT: FOCUS ON THE CORPORATION

Corp-Focus is a moderated listserve which distributes the weekly column
"Focus on the Corporation," co-authored by Russell Mokhiber, editor of
Corporate Crime Reporter, and Robert Weissman, editor of Multinational
Monitor magazine.

To subscribe to Corp-Focus, send an e-mail message to
listproc@essential.org with the following all in one line:

subscribe corp-focus <your name>

Focus on the Corporation scrutinizes the multinational corporation -- the
most powerful institution of our time. Once a week, it reports and
comments critically on corporate actions, plans, abuses and trends.
Written with a sharp edge and occasional irreverency, Focus on the
Corporation covers:

* The double standards which excuse corporations for behavior (e.g.,
causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful
when done by individuals;
* Globalization and corporate power;
* Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and
workplace organization;
* Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new
technologies or consolidate business among a few companies;
* Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of
communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water;
* Issues, such as tort reform, of across-the-board interest to business;
and
* The corporatization of our culture.

When I first saw the cinematograph I realised it could offer something new
to philosophy. The cinema provides us with an understanding of our own
memory. Indeed we could almost say that cinema is a model of consciousness
itself. Going to the cinema turns out to be a philosophical experience.
Henri Bergson

Film-Philosophy is an email discussion forum and website founded in
November 1996.

                          SALON DISCUSSION

The purpose of the salon is the informal discussion of film philosophies.
The aim of which is the creation of a discipline from a collision, from a
debilitating identity crisis.
Why do we need film philosophies? What can a philosophical viewpoint breath
into well-worn debates in film theory? What bred the recent surge of
interest in this area? What is film philosophy?

                          SALON REVIEWS

Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival 1998
Exploring New Territory

Lovebytes, Sheffield's radical and acclaimed digital arts festival returns
on 16 March with HyperTribes, a six week exhibition of specially
commissioned public artworks in Sheffield City Centre, culminating in three
days of exhibitions and special events 23-25 April, in the city's Cultural
Industries Quarter.

HyperTribes is the theme for this year's festival which focuses on the
cultural aspects of new technology and the emerging electronic
'territories' which are being claimed, inhabited, enriched and exploited by
artists. Lovebytes has commissioned six public art installations as part of
Public Sightings in Photo 98 - The UK Year of Photography and the
Electronic Image. The artists Lulu Quinn, Simon Poulter, Mike Lawson-Smith,
Andrew Stones, Jonathan Allen & Steve Hawley and Premium Leisure utilise
digital media, video projection and interactive elements to create a
city-wide exhibition to transform the urban twilight with images, light and
sound.

The Lovebytes Digital Arts Festival, which runs from 23rd to the 25th
April, includes a multimedia gallery, seminars, film screenings, workshops,
performance and live music events and takes place at the Showroom Media and
Exhibition Centre. Sheffield has long been recognised for it's
experimentation in cross-media electronic arts and is now home to some of
the most advanced and well conceived multi-media production and exhibition
facilities in the country. This, combined with Lovebytes refreshing
approach to the digital 'melting pot' provides a unique point of
convergence for art, popular culture and the entertainments industries.
