CHECK IT OUT! AND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE LAWSUIT ? ******************************************* hundreds of congratulation emails arrived at etoy.TANK17... the underground press titled "glamorous victory of the etoy.CORPORATION (net art giant) over eToys (plastic toy giant)" after wired news reported that eToys Inc. thinks about dropping the lawsuit against the etoy.CORPORATION. this message rushed trough the news last week: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,33330,00.html etoy was not able to answer questions yet. .... here is our official press statement: according to our lawyer chris truax the situation is not completely clear. we follow the contradictional statements in the press... and we have the impression that eToys wants to play the good guy now after they saw that the destruction of etoy failed and their massive pressure on the art group provoked a load of bad press (over 100 articles worldwide) and drove their stock down (wired news). it seems they want to look better than they are. we have the strongest impression that the statements they make to the press and the ones they make to our lawyers are not 100% identical: wired.com HEADLINE No.1 on december 30, 1999 etoy: 'The Fight Isn't Over" http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,33338,00.html we do not reject talking to eToys but we don´t trust them so far. first they try to kill us (by spending maybe half a million dollars on lawyers), and now they try to turn back the clock and say ...oh this was just a little misunderstanding!? did we miss something? two weeks ago we received a 30 pages fax from one of the biggest newspapers in the us (they got the document from eToys) with the request to comment on the submitted material. eToys quoted the terms "offensive, depraved, insane, obscene, prurient, perverse, destructive, anarchistic, rebellious and anti-social in nature" in direct connection with the etoy.CORPORATION. they sent out screen shots of some awarded and ironic web art services which were not even posted on the etoy.com site since eToys started to operate in 1997. at the same time they offer a cute little plastic soldier of the german SS troops on the eToys site (we dont like this like they dont like the word "f*ck"...) http://www.etoys.com/cgi-bin/buzz.pl?sku=1012690&store=et the board decided to leave communication with eToys to our lawyers. in the meantime the etoy.CREW concentrates on the TOYWAR.community and offers etoy.POINTS to everybody who helps to protect the etoy.com property (with legal tools). while eToys is using the money from their shareholders to pay the extreme expenses of this lawsuit we developed a new avant garde art product called etoy.POINTS. the etoy.POINTS are not etoy.SHARES! they just represent the etoy.CULTURE-VALUE in a very abstract way. there is no connection to financial markets: IT IS ART and we do not force anybody to love it ! but we sell etoy.POINTS to those who like us. they don´t get anything but ART! ...ok: maybe it also gives them the feeling that they support the right side... it could be seen as an "investment" in a higher sense... but it´s not a real(!) investment. ...we "left reality behind" ... long time ago... note: etoy.POINTS are NOT etoy.SHARES and NOT apples or anything else. we hope to see you on toywar.com... your etoy.AGENTS etoy: generating cultural value & global impact ....since 1994 ps: the etoy.BOARD is taking a break. we do not respond to your emails till january 7, 2000. in case of emergency: send sms messages to our cell phones: urgent@toybomb.com (max 160 caracters!) but first: visit the TOYWAR.shop: http://www.toywar.com/shop - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 0 2 | - - - - The 9th edition of CIAC’s Electronic Art Magazine is now on line.

We'll be glad to have you participating at the opening held on the 7th January 2000, at 7 p.m. with a video-lecture titled: The Power of Love 1) Language Language does not exist, for it doesn't belong to any of the sources that already existed before it, on earth. The thesis which asserts that a cultural chaos has been caused by capital globalisation process, loss of the support by religious and cultural traditions, dissolution of the last remains of precapitalistic societies, increasing technical and social differentiation and tendency to specialism, is denied by facts everyday. Today civilisation gives to all its products a very similar way of looking: film, radio and TV, the internet and whatever more, form in their coexistence, a Unitarian system. Every sector is disciplined by itself and its relations with others. When you are part of a group movies can provide a common language. The human being inner essence is confused, indistinguishable and complex. Language intervenes as a strength which aims to deprive us of ourselves by making us line up together with those who surround us, to model us on the behalf of some common measure. Language defines and perfects us, finishes and governs us. Resorting to language reveals that the individual is unable to conciliate with the object (nature, the exterior, but also the "authentic" self), because language entails the discipline of exteriorly. Absolute and without conditions, language, which is relative and conditioned, is an illusion. Yet to that part of us by which we perceive it, the law of its being is a law of truth. It must never be forgotten that every one must begin at the beginning. And in the beginning the aspirant is a rebel, even through he feel himself to be that most dangerous type of rebel, a king dethroned. 2) The Art System Conceptual Art revealed that the modernist compulsion for empiristic self -reflexiveness not only originated in the scientific positivism which is the founding logic of Capitalism but that, for an artistic practice that interialized this positivism by insisting on a purely empiricist approach to vision, there would be a final destiny. This destiny would be to aspire to the conditions of tautology. Given the conditions of rapidly accelerating fusion of the culture industry with the last bastions of an autonomous sphere of high-art, self-reflexiveness increasingly and inevitably came to shift along the border line between logical positivism and the advertisement campaign. Conceptual theories put in play a critique that operates at the level of the aesthetic institution. It is a recognition that materials and procedures, surfaces and textures, locations and placement, are not only sculptural or painterly matter to be dealt with in terms of a phenomenology of visual and cognitive experience or in terms of a structural analysis of the sign, but that they are always already inscribed within the conventions of language and thereby within institutional power and ideological and economic investment. What Conceptual Art achieved at least temporarily, was to subject the last residues of artistic aspiration toward transcendence to the rigorous and relentless order of the vernacular of administration. But this was not just an other heroic step in the inevitable progress of Enlightenment to liberate the world from mythical forms of perception and hierarchical modes of specialised experience, but that it was also yet another, perhaps the last of the erosion (and perhaps the most affective and devastating one) to which the traditionally separate sphere of artistic production had been subjected in its perpetual efforts to emulate the regnant episteme within the paradigmatic frame proper to art itself. Or worse yet, that the Enlightenment triumph of Conceptual Art - its transformation of audiences and distribution, its abolition of object status and commodity form - would most of all only be short-lived, almost immediately giving way to the return of the ghost like reapparitions of displaced painterly and sculptural paradigms of the past. So that the specular regime, which Conceptual Art claimed to have upset, would soon be reinstated with renewed vigour. With the acceleration of the contemporary art sale's market, dude to the unbelievable peaks and unavoidable falls of the New Expressionist artists valuations, museum institutions starts to restyled and to spread all over the most economic advanced countries. The architecture design of the new buildings uses principles of "indirect" commodification" and "adjacent attraction" which rationalise and juxtaposition of commerce with culture. Non commodities values can be used to enchance commodities or vice versa. Into the new museum architectures, the constant movement, such as escalators, people movers, staircases, bridges, balconies, multiple levels, provide infinite vistas from a variety of vantage points, generating excitement stimulation and fragmented experience. Today art institutions have much more in common with other industrialised areas of leisure - Disneyland, shopping malls - than with that idea of the preindustrialized museum made to protect the autonomous sphere of high culture. The paradox inherent in the relation between the revealed obsoleteness of the artistic medium and the gigantic scale of the structure deputed to its administration finds its resolution in the aspiring negative function of the Art System in respect to the whole structure of the Cultural Industry. Through its history, art has been transformed from means into provider of religion. On occasion of biennials, site-specific shows and less or more gigantic multi-media/cultural events, art must culturalise conflicts concealing urban, political and technological contradictions. Expanding the sphere of high culture into areas of social life such as shopping, dining, but also those politically correct activities through which are engaged minority communities such as handicapped people, convicts, psychiatric patients, children, coloured people, etc. Binding back to uncertain idea of the unknowable, transcending reason, transcendent being, art rationalise what the Cultural Industry might have been left free from its influence, those marginalized social and spiritual, areas of the contemporary global society. 3) Form Through the displayed relation of servility between knowledge and power is revealed a relation of truth. Many knowledge meaningless and of no value because their not dude relations with power issues within their formal structure. The coherence within the form or style had always been very important for the definition of the work of art before the unrestrained development of the modernist discourse through the avantgardes and the post-war art. The total acquiescence of the style in the work had a proper function, an intolerant rigour in front of the chaotic expression of the suffering as a negative truth. Within the style of the work the expression of the suffering gained a kind of strength. Without this strength the existence itself would have been lost unhearded because of its immediacy. Form is a codification of language, fitted to describe certain classes of phenomena and to express certain classes of ideas which escape regular phraseology. A terminology by means of which it is possible to equate the mental processes of people apparently diverse owing to the constraint imposed upon them by the peculiarities of their literary expression. An instrument for interpreting symbols whose meaning has become obscure, forgotten or misunderstood by establishing a necessary connection between the essence of styles, sounds, simple ideas and their moral or intellectual equivalents. A system of criteria by which the truth of correspondences may be tested with a view to criticising new discoveries in the light of their coherence with the whole body of truth.

It aims to gather together individuals from all over Britain, Europe and further afield, who work or are interested and receptive to ideas generated from within collaborative performance. These ideas cover topics as far ranging as multimedia performance technologies, dance and site specific installation work. SHIFTS hopes to broaden the scope of the subject, which is choreography. A proposition that choreography is concerned with 'the art of arranging information in time & space' allows for as broad a conversation as possible and so becomes subject to a range of topics, which may ordinarily be disregarded. SHIFTS - Background SHIFTS'99 took place on 28th February 1999 at the Backspace studio (London) as the official sister event to IDAT '99 (International Dance and Technology conference). Due to an extremely positive and welcome response, Barriedale Operahouse have decided to make SHIFTS a yearly event. We hope to echo last year's successful recipe of providing a diverse and high quality program within a relaxed atmosphere of discussions, web-broadcasts, talks and of course, beer and bagels. SHIFTS - The program: Talks / Lecture-Demonstrations Paul Filmer Paul Filmer is a Senior Lecturer of Sociology at Goldsmiths' College and Consultant Sociologist at Laban Centre, London. Working title: Ordering movement: historical and contemporary perspectives on the sociological significance of choreography in social and art dance.

This conference aims to embrace and explore the cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural theory and practice of contemporary digital arts and culture. As we step across the threshold to a new millennium, the DAC conference affords us the opportunity to develop and foster communication and understanding about digital arts and culture across a wide spectrum of cultural, disciplinary, and professional practices. To this end, we cordially invite scholars, researchers, artists, computer professionals, and others who are working within the broadly defined areas of digital arts and culture to join in the DAC discourse community by submitting proposals for presentations to the Digital Arts and Culture conference in the year 2000. Women and people from ethnic minorities are strongly encouraged to submit. Presentations may be in the form of scholarly papers or presentations; or performances and installations incorporating electronic and digital technologies and media. Collaborative presentations are encouraged, and to aid our collaborative and cross-disciplinary objective, we are primarily seeking submissions for three main types of sessions: (Single submission per person only, please.) Panels: Should consist of 3-4 presentations around a common theme. Presenters will be given 20 minutes each with time for discussion. Forums: Should consist of 3-6 presenters who will have 8-10 minutes each to deliver position statements on a theme or topic set forth by the forum organizer. Forums are roundtable type events that should accommodate ample time for discussion among panelists and audience. Performances, Installations: Can consist of individuals or groups.
