Dokter) Subject: Financing the Next Millenium F.N.M. (Financing the Next Millenium) by Raul Marroquin. September 25 to September 27 1998 Gallery Aschenbach in Amsterdam presents: F.N.M. a three-day interdisciplinary event by media artist Raul Marroquin. This project is the last of a trilogy that the artist has been working on in the last years: 1)"CAUTION Chapter I Armed Confrontations" Gallery Aschenbach 1996, 2)“ i ® TM Symbols of the Past or the rules of the Future at Open Space in Amsterdam and now F.N.M. One of Marroquin's personal goals with the final episode of this trilogy is to discuss how financially prepared the world is to deal with the economical challenges of the next millenium, in the reclusive, relaxed and unconventional settings of an art gallery. With porjects like this, he also aims to contribute to (what he believes is one of the most important questions in his profession) the redefinition of the role of the artist in todays postindustrial society. Throughout the last years, it has become clear that this sort of informal events encourage different approaches to the discussion of such important issues such: as the prohibition of the use of chemical weapons in the case of "CAUTION Chapter I Armed Confrontations" first in 1996 and “ in the Internet during the exhibition in Open Space in 1997. F.N.M. combines interviews , debates, round tables, discussions and presentations that address a wide variety of issues: globalization, open markets, single regional and universal currencies, the economical gaps between East and West, North and South (and all of the detailed intricacies of geoeconomics) the influence of new information and communications technololies in the financial world, and many other the questions put by todays rapid changes in economics. In order to achieve the best results within this particular framework, a selected group of experts in many of these different areas have been invited to participate and contribute via the different options available at Aschenbach Galerry during these three days of F.N.M. Investors, politicians and civil servants, financial analysts, academics, journalists, bankers, financers and other representatives of the many different diciplines that are part of todays financial world. Because of the same reason, the content of this project has been delegated to a small group of experts that have developed and implemented the basic ideas behind F.N.M. Many of the participants and contributors have already worked in some of the artist's previous projects as well as De Hoeksteen Live! Television -Marroquin's own six year old, 12 hour long live, political and financial program for Amsterdam cable television- as well as his weekly radio show and De HoeksteenNet page in the WWW. These individuals and organizations used to Marroquin's ad hoc approach to these sort of events and users communication technology. A great deal of the input also comes from "newomers" especially invited for the event that can take part by been present at the gallery or via telephone, fax, e-mail moderated news groups, IRC, ICQ and video conferencing. Some general subjects have been introduced among paticipants under titles such as: "Free Markets ... Who's Freedom?" "Euro vs. $, The Match of the Century." "Financial Indicators," "The Emerging Markets," "Real Serious Money for the Next Millenium," "Tiger Economies = Paper Tigers, " and other themes that indicate the way in wich world finances will be heading at the turn of the century as well as those that will be included in the debate throughtout the weekend. Flexibility and improvisation are both integral components of F.N.M. features as "Lattest Financial News" and "Breaking News" are also a part of the options available during F.N.M. User Communications, Community Services and Public Access are an integral part of the event in orther to assure a maximum of participation of those that cannot be present at the gallery on those particular dates. IRC, ICQ, Moderated News Groups, and Point - Point & Multipoint videconferencing are permantly available in order to make sure that the participation from groups and individuals outside the perimeter of Amsterdam can participate. On-Line Dispatches are been regulary transmmited from areas as close as Amsterdam and as far as New York and Hong Kong on a regular basis All events are webcasted live and developments are documented and reviewed in "F.N.M. On-Line" a publication that covers events on an hourly basis URL: http://www.Desk.nl./~hksteen "F.N.M. On-Line" also offer links to all mayor financial on-line services. A hard copy version of this publication is also available upon request with the latest news throughout the entire 72 hours. A final CD-Rom will be featured at the end of the event featuring the high lines, transcripts of discussions and conclusions reached at the end of it.

The conference will explore ways of considering contemporary new technologies in light of how new technologies were represented and debated in the past. It intends to address the ahistorical nature of the public discourse of new technology and to encourage discussion across the boundaries of the social realms of academic, media, and industry on the impact of new technologies. Sherry Turkle, Professor of Sociology of Science at MIT and author of Life on the Screen will give the keynote speech: Are the discourses surrounding the Internet a better guide to social action than those formulated in the early days of "old" technologies? Have we learned anything from the successes and failures of past attempts to predict what technology will do for us and to us? Panels: The Problems and Potentials of Prediction Privacy and Censorship Communities of Place and Cyberspace Media Discourse on New Technology Technological Visions Confirmed Participants: John Perry Barlow, Lord Asa Briggs, Richard Chabran, Bob Cringely, Wendy Grossman, Katie Hafner, Larry Irving, Peter Lyman, Carolyn Marvin, David Nye, Mitchel Resnick, Romelia Salinas, Vivian Sobchack, Lynn Spigel, Sherry Turkle, Langdon Winner, Philip Zimmermann Conference Organizers: Sandra Ball-Rokeach, Marita Sturken, Douglas Thomas, Annenberg School for Communication Conference Information: The conference is free and open to the public.

Further prizes and honorary awards. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12th Stuttgart Filmwinter: Short Fiction, Experimental, Documentary, Animation, Video Art, CD-rom, Internet, Installations, Exhibitions, Expanded Cinema The Stuttgart Filmwinter is among the outstanding events in the area of shortfilm and experimental film, as well as new media. In spite of the very good public response and an opulent framework, the communication of artists and audience is the most important intention of the Stuttgart Filmwinter. Last festival, by awarding for the first time the International Domnick-Scholarship Award for Experimental Film endowed with DEM 20,000 (winner: Karl Kels, Frankfurt a.M.) and with a detailed retrospective of the French artistic film, we demonstrated the vitality of the genre of experimental film, whereas in the area of multimedia with high-quality lectures and presentations we ranged between game and architecture. At the forthcoming festival we will pick out as a central theme among others, the direct interactions of the various media. In the process we strive - same procedure as every year - for the realization of our long-standing utopia, to connect theory and practice, avantgarde and pop, media criticism and media euphoria. The 12th Stuttgart Filmwinter: four days of successful failure, of pleasant effort and of the harmonious confrontation on all axes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wand 5 e.V. - Verein zur Förderung unabhängiger Film- und Medienkultur Stuttgarter Filmwinter Filmhaus Stuttgart Friedrichstr.23A 70174 Stuttgart Tel.: +49-711-2269160 Fax: +49-711-2269161 web: http://www.wand5.de mail: wanda@wand5.de --- # 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
