-------------------------------------------------------------------
My label contingent ARTS fuses different terms and a modificated
tag - all related to the notion of work. My actual preoccupation
is the research on the economic shift in Europe in relation to
the Anglo-American stock-market-centered capitalism and its impact
on the cultural practice. I am focussed on cultural phenomena in
urban areas, which I describe in technical terminology of monetary
market, management or psychology.
For video works I adapt the structure from familiar genres; for
example; drama, documentary film, music videos. The subject
defines the genre. (Karin Hinterleitner)

Meeting of the AA Project and the Ascii Art Ensemble
at
Time's Up Laboratories, Linz, Austria
12.12.98 (Y2K incompliant)
Ascii Art, that's the dicky section in Wired with Spock
and pussy cats in someone's .sig, isn't it? For those who
think not, the meeting of the AA Project and the Ascii
Art Ensemble might be just the remedy for photoshopilepsy
at 1600 dpi.
For the AA project, whose third stated goal is the
reintroduction of the IBM MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter)
and the Ascii Art Ensemble, whose goals remain vague, ascii
art isn't cutesy pictures or diagrams using -,_,|,/ and \,
it's something stronger, subtler and infinitely stranger.
The gathering in the Time's Up Laboratories is meant to
allow those people involved in the projects and others
working in the field to come together to swap notes,
ideas and experiences, to get to know each other. Starting
at 12:12 (or so) this is a closed meeting, please contact
us if you would like to take part.
The evening presentation (as of 19:19) will then be aimed
at a more general audience; toys, tricks, gimmicks and
7-bit strangeness as far as it goes. Live video-to-ascii,
DUMB (DOOM ascii version), ascii films and clips, an
introduction to ascii quake for the CAVE and much much
more.
This evening is presented as a part of the series of events
dedicated to the theme "Obsolete."

From: insomnia/vladislava gordic <insomnia@EUnet.yu>
Electronic Book Review, the online literary forum
(http://www.altx.com/ebr/), has released its latest issue on
EAST/EURO/POMO ("Postmodern Writing in Eastern and Central Europe"). This
ebr special goes online as ethnic conflicts intensify in Kosovo and
pressure on Serbian university and media continues. Still, guest editor
Vladislava Gordic, University professor from Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, along
with the contributors from Poland, Romania, Hungary, Western Europe, and
the U.S., have little to say about the spectacle of carnage produced by an
atavistic and fragmenting nation-state. Instead, one catches the spirit of
another moment, the winter of 1996/97 when a different kind of spectacle
held sway in Belgrade, through unprecedented, festive, and remarkably
long-lived street demonstrations that reached Western screens via contacts
through the Internet, bypassing the government's centralized control of
local TV and radio.
In Eastern Europe there has long been a fully developed
literature, a particular mix of genres and narrative arts that
demonstrate all the ambivalent and alienating features of Western
postmodernism - such as an adherence to formal experimentation, a
narrative self-consciousness, a way of "magicking the real," and a
minimalist approach to story-telling.
Drawing influences from its massive cultural heritage and ongoing
political turbulence ("its territorial and ideological flame wars," in
Gordic's words), East European pomo suffers no shortage of gifted,
remarkable writers of an experimental cast, such as Milorad Pavic, whose
fantastical and allegorical work (a print anticipation of hypertext) may
turn out to be no less insightful about the region's racial, ethnic, and
religious divisiveness than the more conventionally configured "Bosnian
Chronicle" by Nobel prizewinner Ivo Andric.
This ebr special offers essays on Milorad Pavic's paratextual
play, Mikhail Bulgakov and Milos Crnjanski as the forerunners of
postmodernism, the portrait of the last world's peripatetic writer
Miroslav Mandic, a media parable on the new concept of the global
dictatorship, Alice's Adventures in Sanctionland, a survey of Romanian
literature in its clash with postmodern sensibilities, a view on Polish
poetry, and much more.

Subject: hub club - 7th december 1998
Monday 7th December
7:30pm
Huddersfield University Lecture Theatre
Canalside Campus
Version 3.0 - video compilation by the London Film and Video Umbrella
This retrospective showcase of international computer animation looks
back over more than thirty years of creative innovation with computer
technology, encompassing some of the first experimental forays into the
world of computer-generated images and ending, in the present, with some
of the most startling and sophisticated products of the contemporary
digital aesthetic.
The programme includes contributions from many of the key players in
computer animation history: pioneering figures like John Whitney as well
as other visionary artists like Yoichiro Kawaguchi and Michel Bret;
virtuoso animators like John Lasseter and Marc Caro as well as technical
innovators like William Latham and Karl Sims. The selection tries to take
into account the very distinct but often parallel development of artists'
work in this area in the United States, France, Britain, Germany and Japan
with significant examples from each of these countries.
To complete the picture, other works have been selected to illustrate
themes and preoccupations (involving the physical and the virtual, the
organic and the artificial) which artists have been increasingly drawn to
and which the computer is ideally suited to explore.
the yorkshire hub club meets on the second monday of the month
alternately in Sheffield, Bradford or Huddersfield.
The Hub Club is a partnership project between TEST, Lovebytes, Pavilion,
Huddersfield University, Synergy and the National Museum of Film,
Photography and Television

M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture
Call for Contributors
The University of Queensland's award-winning journal of media and
culture, M/C, is looking for new contributors. M/C is a crossover journal
between the popular and the academic. We take seriously the need to move
ideas outward, so that our cultural criticism may have some resonance with
wider political and cultural interests. We're writing, investigating,
analysing, critiquing the meeting of media and culture, and we're open to
comments and contributions.
Initiated by cultural critic David Marshall and supported by a variety of
contributors from the University of Queensland and elsewhere, M/C is a
journal that is set to be a premier site of cultural debate on the Net.
Its incisive and insightful articles, presented in a Website that is
well-designed and easy to navigate, have already won a number of Web
awards.
M/C issues are each organised around a theme. Future issues will deal
with concepts such as 'play', 'fiction', 'invasion', 'flesh', 'pop', and
'desire'. For these issues, we're looking for article contributors --
please contact us if you think you have an interesting contribution to
make on any of these topics. M/C is a blind- and peer-reviewed journal.
Australian academics should note that articles in M/C are classified in
the DEETYA category 'C1', as long as they are connected to new research.
To see what M/C is all about, check out the newly-released 'space' issue
of M/C, as well as previous issues, at <http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/>. To find
out how and in what format to contribute your work, visit
<http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/contribute.html>. Article deadlines for the next
few issues can be found at <http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/email.html>.
We're also welcoming submissions to our newly-launched publication M/C
Reviews, an ongoing series of reviews of events in culture and the media.
M/C Reviews is available at <http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/reviews/>.
We're looking forward to your articles !
