How their conversations about the environment, culture, leisure, and political decisions, are conducted and how they are resolved are likely to have major social implications. What directions and implications does cyberspace foretell for community, democracy, education and culture? Addressing those questions may be among the most urgent tasks facing humankind today. The objective of DIAC-00 is to integrate many perspectives, conversations, and people from around the world on the topic of public space in cyberspace: What is it? What should it be? What would we do with it? What can we do about it? While DIAC-00 will present "best practices" and other lessons learned "from the field" there is an urgent need for theoretical work (or "condensed practice") as well. For that reason, DIAC-00 is strongly encouraging reflective work on strategic and policy levels. There is enormous energy found at the grassroots level and it is growing. The big problem today is framing the idea of public space in cyberspace in a way that engages intellectuals, decision-makers, artists, and citizens. This can only be done by combining "best practice" stories with strong provocative conceptualizations of what is happening in our world and how public cyberspace can play a role. We need theories, concepts that can help us discuss, reflect, and take action on these critical matters. As an integral part of the DIAC-00 conference social scientists, engineers, computer scientists, artists, journalists, and other members of the research community will contribute their thinking on these pressing issues: % Community Informatics % Civic Knowledge, Civic Infrastructure % New Tools, Applications, Services, and Institutions % Theoretical Frameworks % Methodological Frameworks % Critical Theory % Social Economy of the Internet % Computers, Work, and Cyberspace % New -- and Retooled -- Media % Participatory and Community-Centered Design % Community Initiatives % Public Access and Community Networks % Practitioner and Researcher Co-Learning % Bridging the Digital Divide % Cyberspace Policy -- Social Policy -- Cultural Policy % Computer-Supported Community Work % Localism and Globalism % International Perspectives and Partnerships % Networking the Networks % Social Movements and Collaborations DIAC-00 will be a multifaceted event. This call for abstracts addresses the research or academic component of the symposium. There are other opportunities for participation within this framework. The guidelines for workshop proposals will be released soon. DIAC-00 will be the seventh symposium sponsored by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility in the "Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing" series. DIAC-00 is intended to broaden the discussion and awareness about the future of cyberspace both in terms of topics and in terms of participation. It is also our intent to provide visibility to topics and perspectives that are often neglected by the media. Each extended abstract should contain a description and outline of the work, supporting evidence and data, and references. Abstracts and papers should be written in English. All extended abstracts should be submitted (in plain text only!) electronically to Peter Day (p.day@btinternet.com). Abstracts should be fewer than 2,000 words. Authors should remember that they will be addressing non-academics as well as academics at this conference and avoid jargon whenever possible. Citations should follow the Harvard Citation guidelines. Academic Program Committee: Phil Agre (US), Brian Loader (UK), Amy Bruckman (US), Natasha Bulashova (Russia), Gary Chapman (US), Peter Day (co-chair; UK), Fiorella de Cindio (Italy), Greg Cole (US), Steve Cisler (US), Susana Finquelievich (Argentina), Jonathan Grudin (US), Michael Gurstein (Canada), Toru Ishida (Japan), Peter Mambrey (Germany), Kate O'Dubhchair (UK), Volkmar Pipek (Germany), Jenny Preece (US), Lodis Rhodes (US), Scott Robinson (Mexico), Douglas Schuler (co-chair; US), Lisa Servon (US), Erik Stolterman (Sweden), Peter van den Besselaar (Netherlands), Murali Venkatesh (US), Ken Young (Australia).

The final papers, ready for book / journal, will be due sometime in summer 2000. We are planning to publish all submitted abstracts on our web site. We are planning to publish accepted papers in a book or journal. The academic program will be thoroughly integrated with the rest of DIAC-00. We are pleased to be a member of the Global 2000 Virtual Community Coalition.

Call for Workshop Proposals The objective of DIAC-00 is to integrate many perspectives, conversations, and people from around the world on the topic of public space in cyberspace: What is it?

It's called do-tv, a new project from do. do is a brand under development of communication agency KesselsKramer in Amsterdam. It was invented in direct retaliation to most other brands which first come up with a product or service, then after a while, their brand identity is developed. do, then, was born with a very distinct brand identity, and no fixed products or services. It can grow depending on the input of other people who want to 'do.' In the past these people were called consumers - now they can, if they wish, be part of do. do is a brand that will react to your ideas and thinking, and is flexible enough to involve lots of different people, worldwide. The aim of do-tv is to reach as many different kinds of people around the world and involve them in the do discussion. The subject of do-tv is: Television. The do-tv discussion will only be active for 24 hours on 2 February 2000. The address is: www.do-tv.com (site is already on air, please check) The results of this conference/debate/interactive party will be printed in a book and published by do, with all contributors to the do-tv site as one of the many authors. do-tv will take place virtually, to allow a worldwide input, but we will also have a real 'address'. A do-tv chatroom at the International Filmfestival in Rotterdam. Guests from the Festival can chat live with experts at the other side of the planet. do-tv will get a link from the Festival site and be mentioned in the programmes and press release from the Festival. Some of the content of the do-tv website will be written beforehand by experts from all over the world. Herefor we would like to invite you to contribute. How will it work? If you are interested, which we do hope, than we will supply you the content of the different channels of do-tv and check with you on what subject you would like to give a statement. This statement will be viewed on the Forum-part of the site. On the day itself, 2/2/00, we would like to ask you to be 'live' in the chatroom of that specific Forum. So that people from all over the world can discuss your statement with you. We hope that you don't want to miss this unique event and will tune in. Could you please let us know, as soon as possible, if you are interested in taking part? With best regards, Miss A. van Krimpen and M. Allewijn do'er E: domail@dosurf.com Joanna van der Zanden KesselsKramer P.O. box 10007 1001 EA Amsterdam T: 0031 20 530 10 60 F: 0031 20 530 10 61 M: 0031 6 24119303 E: mom@kesselskramer.nl What is do? A brief hello. do is an ever-changing brand that depends on what you do. do was first developed 2 years ago. It was invented in direct retaliation to most other brands which first come up with a product or service, then after a while, their brand identity is developed. do, then, was born with a very distinct brand identity, and no fixed products or services. It can grow depending on the input of other people who want to 'do.' In the past these people were called consumers - now they can, if they wish, be part of do. do is a brand that will react to your ideas and thinking, and is flexible enough to involve lots of different people, worldwide. We aim to get all kinds of people, from designers, scientist, philosophers to consumers together to build the do brand. So far, do has published two books about do, and many other books under do publishing (for example, a series of short stories and a photography book about the men who trade roses and polaroids for money in the bars of Amsterdam.) do also has its own website, an experimental product called the do shirt, and has built up a large database of international contacts through magazine articles and TV interviews. There is much more in the do pipeline: for example, a partnership with 'droog design' to make a new line of products under the do philosophy. Now it is time for the next stage of do. do TV do TV will be the third book in the do series. However, instead of starting with a traditional book, the idea is to create a virtual worldwide conference. As the name suggests, this will be on the subject of Television, the medium of the past, the present and the future? do TV takes place at www.do-tv.com, on the date of 2nd February 2000. It will last for 24 hours. This is a chance to gather together with viewers, broadcasters, producers, directors, soap opera addicts and culture jammers from around the world to talk argue, and play. The aim is to reach as many different kinds of people around the world and involve them in the do discussion. The results of this conference/debate/interactive party will be printed in a book and published by do, with all contributors to the do-tv site as one of the many authors. do TV will take place virtually, to allow a worldwide input, but we will also have a real 'address'. A do-tv chatroom at the International Filmfestival in Rotterdam. Guests from the Festival can chat life with experts at the other side of the planet. do-tv will get a link from the Festival site and be mentioned in the programmes and press release from the Festival. do TV, or rather, www.do-tv.com, will have 9 channels each broadcasting for 24hours. All channels will show previews before the do tv day, however. Each channel will cover a different aspect of TV, from entertainment to news. A channel will also cover the relation of film to television. When you switch onto a channel, you will be presented with different programmes or discussions or games or experiments that you can participate in or evolve. Each programme should have a clearly defined subject matter. This subject matter will be dictated by a) The introduction text/question/statement b) Guest Speakers* It will be a platform to bring together tv experts, viewers, producers, directors, politicians, child psychologists and bus drivers from around the world. Throughout the 24 hours, all visitors can contribute to these programmes of events/discussions and eventually shape the outcome of all topics of discussion. Aside from the tv channels there will be a do tv guide telling visitors of upcoming events, guest speakers, and special moments throughout the day. There will also be fun stuff, much of which can be accumulated on the do channel. Over the page, the 9 channels as they stand now, and some rough topics that can be discussed:- *Guest speakers can contribute by supplying a short essay on a certain statement beforehand. This essay will be shown in the forum part of the site. And visitors can react on their statement in the Forum by writing their own essay. But the Guest speaker can also be 'live' in the chat room of that forum (for example for one hour), so that visitors can get an immediate reaction and there will be a discussion. These chat rooms will be strictly moderated by a person who will lead the conversations and throw out 'hoax-chatters.' Besides guest speakers in the Forum, we will also ask 'guest chatters'. Experts who will 'live' chatting in one of the chat rooms of the Channels. THE CHANNELS 1) The Social Channel This channel will form discussions and opinions on the social and cultural impact of television, good and bad. Does your TV replace you as a mother? Find out how tv affects family life in Mozambique. How does it affect you socially if you live in the country or in the city? How can we use TV in a better way to bring people closer together: we ask the experts. How can we use TV to strengthen rather than weaken cultures? Make your own views heard on the 24 hour Social Channel. 2) The Entertainment Channel The channel that talks about soap operas, game shows, sports, music: they all make our TV the biggest form of entertainment in the world. Your own private theatre. Would tv be a better place without commercial messages? Learn about the gameshows watched by people in Brazil. Talk with someone who has appeared on a gameshow as a contestant. Discuss your soap opera opinions with a producer of one of the world's biggest soap opera imports. Link up with soap opera fan bases. Find out how sports programmes will change in the future. And much more, only on 2nd February from 8am (ECT). 3) The World Channel Television is an open window to the world outside. Has your world grown or shrunk through TV? Talk with a CNN correspondent who covered the Gulf War, arguably the first ever global televised war. Does your local global tv station have too much power? Where does the power rest now - with politicians or TV stations? What is the future for local independent tv stations? We pitch a local TV producer against a global tv producer to find out their views. How can you and do help make the world a better place through the TV? Your opinion is the most important opinion in the world.....only on .....The World Channel @ www.do-tv.com. Tune In! 4) The Education Channel In Tokyo, it's common for mothers to buy series of educational VHS tapes for children to learn about life. Is this the way forward? Is TV the ultimate surrogate mother? Do we learn about real life or fantasy through TV? Could this industry be promoted by non-profit organisations (UNICEF TV?) We ask someone from the National Geographic Channel if they think it's as educational as going to the zoo. We talk with mothers and teachers and children and put this question to you - were you educated by your TV, or did it make you as dumb as mud? How would you make TV more educational? Get an A+ by switching onto the Education Channel. 5) The Future Channel Talk technology on the Future Channel. What is digital tv? Or WebTV? What can it give to me? Will I have the power? Listen to the experts as they give a valuable insight into the future of your television set. What ideas can we bring to this technology to make TV a more positive tool? Will there be a shopping Channel: buy goods from all over the world and from just around the corner while watching television. Scientists, Cyber-Futurologists and you can all come together on the Future Channel. Don't touch that dial! 6) The News Channel Talk politics business and ethics in a down to earth way. Cut through the red tape and the bureaucracy. The News Channel will bring you what you want, up to the minute. Does TV bring reality closer to you or does it manipulate facts. Can TV avoid giving an opinion? Talk with those who really know the truth (or so they say) and find out the facts about the News you see on your TV screens with viewers in Bosnia, China, Northern Ireland and somewhere near you? 7) The Brand Channel Can a brand own a TV-channel? Do they already? Will we watch Benetton-tv or Ebay-tv with live-auctions? Discussions to take place on this subject with the help of brand managers from around the world, and views of those for or against brands having a more important role in TV. 8) The Movie Channel Cinema lived then TV came along, then cinema died, and soon.....was reborn. There is sometimes an uneasy relationship between the 2 mediums. Can they survive side by side, or will there be an all out war? Does TV ruin the film through format and commercials and censorship? Or are there ways in which the small screen can help the silver screen develop and thrive? Become a player in the movie scene, and discuss with those in the know. Hold a virtual movie meeting with the influentials from the International Film Festival in Rotterdam and ask them the questions you always wanted to ask. 9) The do channel The Non-Commercial Break. Make your own tv, care of do. Join in with the statistics and give do a worldwide view. Make your own soap opera. Watch the world go by on the do webtv cams. Visit the links. You are in control of the do channel....the place where anything can happen - if you make it happen. So do depends on what you do! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 1 3 | - - - - INTER: Interactivity, Internet and Interference with intermedia art curated by Prof. Dieter Daniels and Joachim Blank 11.01.-18.1.2000 INTER theoretic reflexion of modern times at www.verybusy.org publication art-icles area.

An old acquaintance, who has followed our struggles for over ten years, from the time we built our first community art gallery, became executive director of ARC Gallery. ARC has built its reputation in the Chicago art scene as a woman's cooperative gallery for 25 years. A sculptor paid $600 to rent gallery space and pulled back too late to be refunded his money. The exhibit space was offered to the Uptown Multi-Cultural Art Center to show. Our show "Art of the T-shirt to ART-ACT - a Preview" is going up at this moment. A press release is in the mail. In a week we have pulled together eight experienced artists who represent a real sampling of the diversity of artists who have exhibited in the "Art of the T-shirt" over the past decade. Tim Jackson - African American editorial cartoonist - self published author and webmaster of Creative License Studio at www.clstoons.com. Grace Lai, Chinese American On-Site Artist, who has painted, in pen & ink and water color wash, workers building Chicago's skyscrapers for over a decade. She has art hanging in offices around Chicago. Monica Brown and Anne Pyterek, who approach womanhood and cultural issues in their artwork from different directions and purposes. Anne is German/Polish American, and Monica is African-American. Isz who has shown continuously across the U.S. with a style grown from a 60's birthright into the present day. He is German American raised in Peoria. His Grandfather is from Chicago. Robert Wapahi - artist in residence at the Chicago American Indian Center - whose soft oils and scribble pen & ink designs have replaced the plaster at this important cultural center. He is Lakota Santee. He is prolific and modest and long over due. And last - myself showing serigraphic prints on t-shirts. My ancestors are from Ireland, England, Poland and Scotland. These are our art on the wall exhibitors. These artists are joined by six artists from our "Screen Print Workshop for Artists. They are Louis Hutchins, Leonard White, Kaminelana Cheatem, Sunjay, Manuel Salazar, Chad Eisner, and Darryl John White. Our comment mailers showcase the art of other ART-ACT artists. We have it going on in just two weeks! That is because we have worked at it for ten years!!! Jam. What issues will we find to discuss. That will be the focus of our next ART-ACT Notes. Interaction and jump-starting our comments section on our site will be stressed at this show. Our goals for this show are to demonstrate the following: a) The variety of the "Art of the T-shirt" artists. b) The depth of the artists who have supported it over the years because in this exhibit artists are showing their other art (not on t-shirts) for the first time with their t-shirt art work. c) The many of the black & white works that are in the ART-ACT contest at this moment. ART-ACT COMMENTS We have designed this show to boost the comment discussion below each on-line image. Getting people to feel comfortable discussing racism is difficult. We are distributing interactive mailers with one of the ART-ACT images on one side and space for comments on the other. They fold into mailers. One at a time we will invite people to make comments. Our press mailing brags about building an interactive on-line exhibit that is international and which invites the public to counter hate with their discussion. Step by step we are exploring a new road - feeling our way. EXHIBIT INFROMATION AT http://www.art-teez.org/events.htm Help build an Internet Community against Racism. Volunteer one hour a week.
