Syndicate: Shu Lea Cheang: BRANDON/CALL FOR JURORS |
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 15:54:05 +0200 From: Shu Lea Cheang <shulea@earthlink.net> Subject: BRANDON/CALL FOR JURORS SUBMIT. COMMIT. SIGN ON AS JURORS. http://brandon.guggenheim.org BRANDON/BODY OF EVIDENCE In conjunction with London Transgender Film and Video Festival (October 20-24), the "Body of Evidence" interface curated by Lisa Haskel features uploads by four London-based artists, Hans Scheirl, Matthew Fuller, Svar Simpson and Del LaGrace Volcano. Body of Evidence reviews exhibit of Brandon/Teena Brandon's rape/murder case and reflects upon broader institutional regimes of gender classification. During the festival, BRANDON is rendered as a four channel night time window projection facing the street at the Lux Gallery, Hoxton Square, London. BRANDON/WOULD THE JURORS PLEASE STAND UP? November 17-20, 1999 With the launch of Body of Evidence, BRANDON calls for jurors to participate in ONLINE VIRTUAL COURT: an experiment on joint decision making and conflict resolution on the Net. On trial are cases of sexual assaults that blur the distinctions between male/female gender and actual/virtual space. Presented by Society for Old and New Media in association with the Guggenheim Museum, the virtual court sessions will be held publicly at Theatrum Anatomicum, De Waag, Amsterdam and on the Net. Each Net trial session consists of 8 JURORS and a moderator. The jurors will be pre-selected after completing a stress level test (provided by the Gender Identity Clinic) and are required to study the documented cases that make up the trial. Jurors will be expected to log on and off on the Net for an assigned ONE HOUR trial session. The session will be conducted as a series of votes on devised QandA forms and issues can be debated over SWEAT OUT sessions. Legal council for the project: Lawrence Lessig(Harvard Law School), Jennifer Mnookin(University of Virginia Law School),Kendall Thomas (Columbia Law School) and B.M.J.van Klink (Katholieke Universiteit Brabant). BRANDON, initiated by Shu Lea Cheang and set up as an open ended narrative and launched in June 1998, is a Guggenheim Virtual Museum commission that entails multi-artist, multi-author, multi-institution collaborative web project.
