Bill Albertini: http://www.thing.net/dooley/bill.html Bill Albertini The mutability of "fact" has been accelerated by changes in the way information is transubtantiated: new media developments have materialized data. During the last quarter century this info-stuff has become what iron and coal was to the nineteenth century. Lead may have been holographed into gold, the emperor may have new (no) clothes, and now at the very least we have the digital tools to reopen arguments about the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin. Revisionism is a reality, contemporary mythology is a fact, and history is a misnomer. The interface for Bill Albertini's "Viewer" consists of an image of a desk with a computer, a TV monitor tuned into a dead channel, and a mysterious white cube. Once you click on the cube's surface, the little monitor appears on top of it, and is then transformed into morphing shapes. Clicking on the image of either the computer screen or the monitor will present differing perspectives on what you're seeing on your computer screen. The viewer may easily get the feeling of being trapped in the small world on the screen that can do nothing but reflect on itself. The work of Bill Albertini has been exhibited extensively over the last 15 years. Recently he exhibited a series of digital drawings at Horodner Romley Gallery, New York. These drawings featured a completely accurate computer generated model of the gallery containing "virtual sculptures" of varying degrees of impossibility. Part of a much larger body of work utilizing the possibilities of the computer, these drawings continue the artist's investigation into the imaginary cultural artifact, the nature of memory and history. Bill Albertini was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1954. His training includes: Yale School of Art, MFA; Crawford School of Art, Cork, Ireland; Ravensbourne College of Art and Design, Bromley, Kent,. http://www.thing.net/dooley Phone and Fax (212) 966-3046 ................2..................................... ------------------------------ LOOK SUNDAY EXTRA PAGES OF NEW YORK DAILY NEWS. THIS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6th. ME The bald white boy with a black shirt modeling a cheap tie. HEY If you like what you see then consider this: ------------------------------ PROPOSITION Looking for an ahistorical/symbolic threesome in the New York area. Do you like the term 'restless culture'? Are you a convoluted 'lifetime in progress'? DATE FUN Lets spend the night together in just our underwear and don't touch at all and just talk about how to emulate the feeling of perpetual drunkenness and lets take polaroids of one another washing dishes or preparing couscous and then trade them with one another and not sleep all night and then look at the polaroids the next day after our moments together are lived and then we will not feel so bad and we will be happy ahppy happy knowing these are the good times and mortality really is laughable and all is not simulated, engendered and of high velocity. CONCEPT We will call this an Exposure Version 1.0 PLEASE Neo-nihilists-smash the state types, newly elevated conscious types, disconcerted fashionably jaded post-mod types and/or idealistic neo-hippie political activists need NOT apply. Must be mature professional and discreet.

Art Station is part of a degree project in the MA interactive multimedia course in the LCP, London Institute, it provokes questions about the influence of the Internet on art and art exhibition. It is also challenging the definitions of art and art curating in the Internet era. I would appreciate Nettimers feedback on the idea and include this feedback in the project. Art Station (www.artstation.co.uk) allows every visitor to submit artworks and curate an exhibition. The idea is to democratise art through the net. Some of the questions Art Station is asking are: Who is the artist? Who is the curator? Where is the gallery? Art Station's suggested answers are: The artist is everyone We open the gallery walls to everyone who wants to make art: Visitors will be able to send artworks via e-mail. People will be able to create artworks in art galleries. These artworks will be scanned into the online exhibition. Additional creation centres in various places. The curator is the visitor The curating process in Art Station is democratic: The public will have the ability to comment and react to each artwork and to select the artworks they would like to add to their own privet exhibition. A special on line exhibition will present the most popular choices at any moment. The gallery is real and virtual The exhibition will be presented in two places simultaneously: Art gallery =F1 projected on walls On line web site Art Station will be projected in a private room in the ICA gallery in London on the 28-29 of September as part of final exhibition of the MA interactive multimedia course in the LCP, London Institute.

New Book Release: Memory Trade: A Prehistory of Cyberculture By Darren Tofts and Murray McKeich The notion of "culture" is changing at the speed of information itself Computer technology is creating a new kind of public, a Cyberculture with all its utopian and apocalyptic possibilities. But is it that new? Popular debate generally ignores Cyberculture's historical context. The official history begins in the 19th century and tracks the evolution of telecommunications, the egalitarian dream of the global village, and the emergence of the military industrial complex. However this omits the deeper, prehistory of technological transformations of culture that are everywhere felt but nowhere seen in the telematic landscape of the late-twentieth century. Cyberculture is an extension, rather than innovation, of human engagement with communication and information technologiesA work of archaeology, Memory Trade scrapes away the surfaces of the contemporary world to detect the sedimentary traces of the past. A past that inflects the present with the echoes of ancient, unresolved philosophical questions about the relationships between humans and technology, creativity and artifice, reality and representations of reality. Memory Trade is an exploration, in text and image, of the unconscious of Cyberculture, its silent, secret prehistory. From Plato's Cave to Borges' literary labyrinths, Freud's Mystic Writing-Pad, and Joyce's reinvention of language in Finnegans Wake, Memory Trade is a palimpsest of contemporary culture. Darren Tofts is Senior Lecturer in Literature at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne. His essays on theory, media arts and new writing technologies have appeared in publications such as 21*C, World Art, Mesh, Social Semiotics and UTS Review. He is a member of the editorial board of Continuum and is a contributing editor to RealTime. Murray McKeich is an award-winning digital artist who's work has featured in such magazines as 21*C and World Art. He teaches digital imaging in the Dept. of Creative Media at RMIT and has worked as an advertising art director and illustrator.

Blackchair Productions' "Independent Exposure 1999" Program Seattle video and film artist, Joel S. Bachar founded Blackchair Productions in 1992. Due to the overwhelming lack of independent-oriented screening venues, Blackchair Productions began the "Independent Exposure" microcinema screening program in 1996. This program, held every month at the Speakeasy Cafe has presented the works of over 200 artists from 30 states, 65 cities and 11 countries and has gained an enviable reputation in the network of microcinemas around the country as well as around the world. 1999, the fourth season of the program, will be partially funded by the King County Cultural Arts Commission which means the artists whose works are shown will be paid an honorarium, a gesture that is practically unheard of in the independent film and video arts. "Independent Exposure" is fast reaching a wider audience by being hosted at other microcinemas throughout the world and has been seen hundreds of times in 33 cities, 15 states and 13 countries! Some of the hosting venues have been: CinemaTexas (Austin, TX); The Knitting Factory (New York City); School of the Art Institute of Chicago; The Museum of the Rhode Island School of Design; The Mansion Theatre (Baltimore, MD); Arizona International Film Festival (Tucson, AZ); Tortured Artists Film Festival (Tacoma, WA); Artist's Television Access (San Francisco, CA); The Casting Couch (San Francisco); Eye for an I Cinema (Boulder, CO); North Carolina Independent Filmmakers Association; The Can (Tacoma, WA); Project304 (Bangkok, Thailand); The Terminal Bar (Prague, Czech Republic); the Vrij Media Cafe (The Netherlands) and The Soros Center for Contemporary Art (Republic of Macedonia); Split Film Festival (Split, Croatia). Arrangements are currently being made for screenings in Los Angeles, Melbourne (Australia), France, Denmark, Germany, Serbia, Croatia, England, Northern Ireland and Winnipeg (Canada)! Additionally, the program is netcast every month on The Sync (www.thesync.com). Ultimately, Blackchair Productions, through their "Independent Exposure" screening program and other advoca= cy efforts, hope to expose, promote and distribute the independent video and film arts to the widest audience possible. For those interested, here is our 1999 Call for Works (which differs from previous years): Blackchair Productions is accepting video, film and computer-art submissions on an ongoing basis for their monthly screening program called "Independent Exposure." 1999 begins the program's fourth year and we want to include you in the show! Artists will be paid an Honorarium! We are looking for experimental, narrative, humorous, dramatic, erotic, subversive, animation and underground works, but will review anything for a possible screening. Works selected will, in most cases, continue on to national and international venues for additional screenings. Submit a VHS (or S-VHS) clearly labeled with name, title, length, phone-number along with any support materials including photos! Also include a US$5.00 entry fee which will be returned to you if your work is not selected! Include an SASE if you wish the work(s) returned. We will get back to you! Send submissions to: Blackchair Productions, 2318 Second Ave., #313-A, Seattle, WA, 98121, USA.

Next 5 Minutes 3 Festival for Tactical Media Amsterdam & Rotterdam, 12-14 March, 1999 The third Next 5 Minutes, an Amsterdam based conference on tactical communications culture, featuring DIY media, dissident art and electronic media activists, from around the world, will take place on the 12, 13 and 14 of March 1999. The net as a medium has by now been well established, both in discourse as well as practice. N5M3 will move beyond the mere assertion of this new medium and question what the wider social, cultural and political impact is of the fact that virtually all media are now turning digital, and of the new political and economic constellations that evolve around the new (global) information and communication structures. This subject matter will be taken on at two levels: a structural examination of empowering strategies in the new informational environments which focuses on the notion of 'Tactical Networks', and a more intrinsic analysis which concentrates on the idea of 'Electronic Borders'. The latter refers to the fact that in the information societies, social, political and also cultural divisions are increasingly drawn along the lines of electronic media. N5M3 is centered around four topics for discussion: 1. The Art of Campaigning The 'Art of Campaigning' focuses on the media strategies employed by groups around the world who are fostering their social and political aims via media campaigns. There are a number of examples of such campaigns that use highly diverse strategies and types of media, like the Clean Clothes Campaign and the Bandwidth campaign at the Hybrid Workspace during Documenta X in the summer of '97 in Kassel, Germany. Campaigns and the specific media strategies they employ will be an important topic for N5M3. 2. How Low Can You Go In the 'we want bandwidth' campaign (summer 97), the economic and political structures of access were investigated. The reduction to a technical term ('bandwidth': the transmission capacity of an electronic information system) revealed how deeply political the construction of technology is, and how dramatic its social effects. The new movements for the promotion of low-tech, i.e. cheap, established and accessible technology, will be presented, discussed, and developed at N5M3. 3. Tactical Education Besides the formal learning institutions, education is happening all the time in cultural and social contexts where people exchange ideas and experiences in a concentrated way. Art, culture and social action in the field of new media technologies contribute in an important way to creating awareness about the powerful effects of media, and help to raise media-literacy N5M3 wishes to explore new models of education that can play a critical role in processes of social and political change. 4. The Post-Governmental Organisation NGO's (Non Governmental Organisations) have become important actors in the arena of international and global politics, but at the same time they have also become bureaucratic structures that act as a 'state without the state'. The PGO debate concentrates on new ways of organising social, cultural and political action, often on an international level, beyond the politics of the nation state as well as beyond the NGO. The tactical use of networking technologies has proven to be a powerful tool to develop effective strategies for these new types of post governmental organisations. Many examples of the new PGO type of organisations and networks will be presented at N5M3. Structure of the Event N5M3 will be a working conference, which will consist of a focused public program surrounded by many smaller scale working sessions, seminars and workshops. The focus of the event will be on exchange of ideas, experience, working methods, and the construction of long-term partnerships and network structures.

TERRORDOME VII > > The Unofficial Launch Party of Analogue Autumn 98 > > 18 SEPTEMBER ===========+++++++++++=========== You should also know that the Church of the Utterly Ridiculous project >>> THE MASS PROPER in the TERRORDOME <<< is nearing TRANSUBSTANTIATION with more performances tonight (on higher ground to Die Kunst vs Revolting - and all evening) and a final LIVE performance >> BAPTISM of CHOIR << scheduled for 7 pm Saturday 19. COMMUNION from 6 pm before this LAST RITE only. The piece revolves in a geodesic dome enclosing raked seats which are at the epicentre of a 36-source hi-fidelity installation with non-music-noise-talk-sound addressing the issues of REVOLUTION, TERROR, FEAR and DOUBT. A holy MARRIAGE of prepared soundscapes with live interventions. Duration - 30 minutes, in total darkness throughout. Pushing the boundaries of digital decency. Power to the correct people! The Devotees of the C.U.R. invite YOU to make witness. EXODUS to Die Kunst's GENESIS and Revolting's ACTS and REVELATIONS ===========+++++++++++=========== Adele Myers piece "12 O'Clock Flight" flies onwards in the catacombs until the evening's done. Last chance to see this top FACT commission. The piece is a tube of corrogated perspex enclosing a steel platform with a circle of sound-loaded sonars. The tube receives two video projections at right angles creating a cheapskate holographic environment. Active audience members investigate sonar treats and effectively 'dance' in the process, as passive audience members observe and listen to the soundscape created. Sounds and visuals reflect real life in Liverpool and Manchester. Imagine Transporter Deck, imagine Orgasmatron, imagine "12 O'Clock Flight" ... Is this RESURRECTION? ASCENSION? ASSUMPTION? Taste and see. ===========+++++++++++=========== > > Manchester's leading avant-garage art surf prog rock power trio DIE KUNST > will be playing guitar, bass and drum music @ LABORATOIRE MEDIUM REVUELTOS > --------------------TODAY-------------------------- > starting sometime after 8PM > > on web : http://www.yourserver.co.uk/revolting > on air : 106.5 FM > on earth : DADI, 135 Grosvenor Street, Manchester, England. > > Press: > Die Kunst have been described as 'Manchester's leading fake Kraut Rock band' > in important webzine Furball www.nipperland.demon.co.uk > John Robb has said some nice things about them in Melody Maker, offering > Pavement and Television as reference points. > City Life magazine said they had copied everything from the worst Pixies > album. -- @ @ \ / @ - @ - @ / \ @ @ chris paul | innovation in digital and electronic arts limited | c/o fine arts manchester metropolitan university | m15 3br mailto:idea@mcr1.poptel.org.uk tel 0161 247 1907 fax 247 6818 http://www.idea.org.uk .................14...................................
