From: JSalloum <JSalloum@aol.com> Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 00:24:38 EDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: National Gallery of Canada exhibition dealing with the representation of the Mid Apparently-To: <sandra.fauconnier@rug.ac.be> Status: RO X-Status: Jayce Salloum's exhibition dealing with the representation of the Middle East in the West, etc: (Kan ya ma Kan) / There was and there was not is currently at the National Gallery of Canada, 380 Promenade Sussex Drive, Ottawa upstairs in the Contemporary Canadian Art section, info: (613) 990-1985 (as part of the Fragile Electrons exhibition) Free to the public. The exhibition continues until June 6, 1998 This installation, serves to examine the representation of 'Lebanon', and its history as constructed in our collective and individual psyches. Lebanon has been used as a metaphor, as a 'site' serving the real and imaginary for various 'visitors' throughout its history. It has been a ground for continuous claims, discursive texts and acts of re-construction. It has become an adjective for the nostalgia of our past and the fears of the future. We have come to understand so very little in spite of the massive amounts of information we have received regarding Lebanon, that for one to even mention the name all sorts of images come to mind. The installation is a transposition of a working studio and found archive, presenting the 'resources' and artifacts necessary to re-construct an understanding of the mediated process inherent in the definition and perception of a culture. Here the viewer is part of that process, being forced to make decisions and to take responsibility for re-constructing their own cultural perceptions. The installation is set up as a pseudo scientific research lab/studio paralleling/exposing my own productions/projects in Lebanon and challenging the immense history of the production of knowledge of Lebanon and the Middle East. Incorporating objects collected in Lebanon, archival materials, documents, maps, photographs, light boxes and videotape loops, the installation calls into question our notions of history and research methodology, their role in the effacement of histories, and the layers involved in depiction/representation and understanding of another culture. (Kan ya ma Kan) / There was and there was not, has been shown at American Fine Arts-New York, New Langton Arts-San Francisco, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien- Berlin, the Shedhalle-Zurich, Update ‘96-Copenhagen, Optica Gallery-Montréal, Western Front-Vancouver and YYZ Artists' Outlet-Toronto.

Previous award winners have included Rudolf Arnheim and Otto Piene. The award consists of a citation, an honorarium, and a press release and public announcement. The awardee is selected by the editorial staff of Leonardo. This year the staff in both the San Francisco and Paris offices were polled and a concensus for this award emerged easily. In making this award, we would like to cite two areas judged to be outstanding in the work of Eduardo Kac: Eduardo Kac is best known as a telepresence artist, but has also innovated in a number of new media including holography, robotics and visual poetry. His work can be seen here: http://www.ekac.org. He has described his work in Leonardo in articles including: "Ornitorrinco and Rara Avis: Telepresence Art on the Internet" published in Leonardo Volume 29 No 5, pp. 389-400, 1996. Leonardo/ISAST would also like to cite in this award excellence for services to the field. Since 1996 Eduardo Kac has been Leonardo Guest Editor for the project "Radical Intervention: The Brazilian Contribution to the International Electronic Art Movement ". This project is a combined Web based and print publication and gallery project. It features articles by and about pionering Brazilian artists whose work has helped lay the foundation and develop the emerging field of new media arts. Kac's work in soliciting, arranging for translations, editing manuscripts, and working with the authors and artists has helped bring the subtantial contribution of Brazilian artists to the electronic art movement to the attention of the international audience. The Radical Intervention Web site can be found at: http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-journals/Leonardo/home.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ Leonardo/ISAST (International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology). ...................................4...................

On May 16th, as leaders of the most industrialised nation-states in the world meet at the G8 summit in Birmingham before flying to Geneva,(1) tens of thousands of people will join the Global Street Party - simultaneously transforming the privatised, polluted streets of 33 cities in 21 countries (and counting!) into places of celebration and empowerment: a true global commons.(2) In Birmingham, after the partygoers rendezvous at Birmingham New Street Station 4pm on May 16th, roads will be blockaded, sound systems installed and lampposts, tarmac, railings and walls decorated in a mass occupation and transformation of an undisclosed location. Joining the call for Global Ecology not Global Economy(3) and offering an alternative ‘transnational’ dream of a future where cooperation not competition is the common currency, the streets of Birmingham will be reclaimed with performance, art, music, dancing and games to laugh in the face of the G8 under banners reading ‘G8 My Planet’, ‘Gyrate Not G8’, and ‘Reclaim the Streets’ in over 50 languages. And, as 100’s of clowns help give the event a mischievous edge, it’s anybody’s guess which of the world leaders, their governments and corporate cronies will end the day with a pie in the face! The Global Street Party was called by the direct action group Reclaim The Streets (RTS)(4) . An RTS activist said: ‘Cars, roads, pollution, surveillance and the like didn’t just spring from nowhere but are results of a political and economic system. That system is going global: the resistance, if it is to be effective, must also be global….The streets could be the forums for the direct control of >coordinated communities by the people who live in them. Instead we are told we need a ‘globalisation’ involving the further concentration of power in elite’s like the G8 and the W.T.O. This is so seriously unfunny we just have to laugh! For further details contact Reclaim the Streets on: Phone: 0171 281 4621 e-mail: <rts@gn.apc.org> web: http://www.hrc.wmin.ac.uk/campaigns/rts.html Notes for editors: 1. World leaders (and/or their emissaries) fly to Geneva on May 17th to commemorate the 50th anniversary of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), and to applaud the success of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) its younger, more rapacious ally. They may even chat about the latest takeover scheme: the Multilateral Agreement on Investments (MAI), designed to let global business override local environmental and social concerns in the interests of economic progress. 2. Here’s the Global Street Party list as it stands at the moment: Bogota (Columbia), Berlin, Bielefeld, Thuringen (Germany), Lyon (France), Birmingham (U.K.), Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne (Australia), Tel Aviv (Israel), Geneva (Switzerland), Turku (Finland), Madrid (Spain), Ankara, Istanbul (Turkey), Gothenburg, Stockholm (Sweden), Dublin, Derry (Ireland), Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Berkeley (U.S.), Prague (Czech Republic), Olympia, Toronto, Vancouver (Canada), Athens (Greece), Luxembourg (Luxemburg), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Bratislava (Slovakia),Utrecht (Holland), Turin (Italy). 3. The Global Street Party is one of many actions happening under the banner of Peoples’ Global Action (PGA). PGA which was founded at an international conference in February in Geneva attended by more than 300 delegates from 71 countries to discuss joint actions against World Trade Organization (WTO), “free” trade and corporate rule. Actions include a Peoples’ Trade Day in Geneva on May 18th and 3 days of action, information sessions and demonstrations in several Canadian cities also starting May 18th. Planning is underway for a massive demonstration in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, by Garment Workers Unity Forum against WTO, World Bank and IMF, a “No Trade Day” in the USA, and a Speakers’ Tour in Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka to raise awareness about the role of the WTO. 4. Reclaim the Streets (RTS) is a decentralised direct action network seeking the rediscovery and liberation of the city streets and public spaces. It first became active in 1992, became absorbed in anti-roads protests and was revived in early 1995. It came to widespread public attention with the blockading and occupation of Camden High street, London on May 16th ‘95, a street party with free music, food and clean air replaced the usual traffic and pollution and public space was reclaimed for the day. Since then there have been parties in Islington (London), 10,000 people on the M41 motorway in west London in July 1996, 25,000 on the 1997’s March for Social Justice/Street Party in Trafalgar Square (with the Liverpool Dockers), as well as over 30 parties all over the country (including Sheffield, Oxford, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge etc) and increasingly worldwide (including Sydney, Tel Aviv, Vancouver & Amsterdam). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GLOBAL STREET PARTY, May 16th 1998: 28 parties in 19 countries!

Status: RO X-Status: Gorilla bored quickly by Internet chat with humans By REUTERS San Francisco - Koko the 300-pound gorilla logged on to the Internet on Monday - and clearly was not impressed. During what was billed as the world's first "interspecies" on-line chat, Koko was far more interested in her toy alligator and dreams of dinner than in answering a barrage of questions from thousands of eager humans. "I like drinks," Koko said, in one of her more lucid comments during the 45-minute dialogue. "Apple drink." Koko's foray into the high-technology world of Internet chatrooms was sponsored by America Online and Envirolink, which together with the Gorilla Foundation near San Francisco set up the event to publicize the plight of the world's great apes. Lowland gorillas like Koko are threatened by logging and poaching in their native habitats in Central Africa, while their cousins, the mountain gorillas, number now fewer than 500 in the wild. Koko, who is 26, was seen as the obvious on-line ambassador for her species. Raised and trained near San Francisco, she has studied modified American Sign Language for 25 years and is now said to understand some 2,000 words of spoken English. Unfortunately, few of these were put into play during Monday's discussion. "Lips," Koko said, using her codeword for woman. "Koko loves lips." Dr. Francine Patterson, Koko's tutor and translator, said Koko's relative IQ is about 86 and she reacts to many situations much like a human child. She dismissed one question about a fellow gorilla with the pithy "toilet" - which Patterson said is her word for "bad." Koko's laconic approach to the Internet was frustrating for the human chatters, who peppered her with questions ranging from her opinions on Darwinian Theory to her views on the new movie version of King Kong. She did manage one shocker - demanding "food and smokes" for her birthday - but Patterson said Koko is tobacco-free and was really asking for her former pet, a kitten named Smokey. Kevin Connelly, a spokesman for the Gorilla Foundation, said the cyberchat went as well as could be expected and Koko had actually been cut off at times because the human entering her responses could not type fast enough. "She was responding to stuff longer than was typed in. The interface was a problem," Connelly said, adding the event had been filmed and a more complete transcript of Koko's remarks will be made available. He said that initial estimates indicated as many as 20,000 people logged on to talk to Koko and the session was a success. "Koko seemed responsive and chatty," Connelly said. --- # distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@desk.nl and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: nettime-owner@desk.nl
