xxero / www.xxero.net is both a collaborative, MOO-based environment 
and a platform for real life meetings and events. Built up by an 
international network of women associated with the faces mailing list, 
the different facets of xxero allow for the particpants to log in to a 
virtual text-based architecture while emphasizing the value of face2face 
meetings in real life. xxero will be launched during Ars Electronica 
Festival 2001. For five days xxero will bring its text-based environment 
to life with visual and acoustic extensions at T R A N S P U B L I C
where it will play host to brunches, informal lectures, MOO & audio
workshops, presentations and a social space. The public is welcome to
join in.

 >>>>>>  "F e m a l e   T a k e o v e r   -   f f " <<<<<<<


Is the artistic practice of women challenged by the current hegemony?
The "Female Takeover - ff" will question this topic in theory and
practice with a snapshot exhibtion, artists presentations and a panel
discussion. Techniques of feminist practice in net-art, like the
decisive works of pioneers in the WWW, will be compared with strategies
of young artists who are evolving a more general, quite open and often
ironic way of discussing and dealing with supposed feminist questions.

Panel I
Wednesday / Mittwoch, 5 September
15:30 - 17:30  T.O.C. / Kunst-Uni
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +


Women will present actual examples of their artistic work to discuss
their "feminist" strategies, methods and artistic experience.

Panel II
Wednesday / Mittwoch, 5 September
18:30 - 20:30  T.O.C. / Kunst-Uni
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

>>> How are visions and artistic strategies seen in the context of 
feminisitic discourse and feminist practice? Are the methods of young 
artists from generation f comparable with those from the 70ies, 80ies 
and 90ies?

>>> Networks by and for women become the object of an artistic strategy 
because of the focus of those who are the driving forces behind them.

>>> So-called patchwork biographies are part of the strategies in the
artistic field: adaptation of production methods and approaches to work
from the worlds of business and social services as well as the
mechanisms of a Fun Culture make for a smooth transition from
production,
services and the representation of social interconnections. Mixed
realities 
and mixed media visualize themselves in everyday life just as they do in 
art, and vice versa.

Which bold visions are considered or planned the moment?
The present hegemony will be challenged! New strategies/concepts exist!

Panelists: Nine Budde/D, Leigh Haas/DE/UK, Cornelia Sollfrank/D;
Snergurutschka/A, Faith Wilding/USA, Moderator: Kathy Rae Hufman/UK/USA
