Attention! At this time the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation invites you to
participate in the second trimester of the new Bauhaus Kolleg. You can now
apply for a 3-months stay in the historic Bauhaus building in Dessau to work
with an international group of professionals on a challenging project in Rio
de Janeiro. Scholarship funds for the program are available.
If you are an architect, designer, artist, economist or working in any other
relevant field for the design of urban environments, please read on:
Second term
Bauhaus Kolleg 1999-2000
COMPLEX CITY - BEYOND SPRAWL
Second term, February 14 - May 12, 2000
Cellula Urbana/Urban cell: An urban improvement project for Jacarezinho/Rio
de Janeiro
In the mid-1960s the philosopher Max Bense proposed interpreting the concept
and idea of urban quality advanced by the Brazilian Modernity movement as a
counterpart to what Europeans associate with humanism. At the turn of the
century, the dream of the new city of Brasilia - the future qua urban and
civil space, drawing i.a. on the tradition of classical Modernity - seems to
have been drowned once and for all in an ocean of illegal settlements, of
"informal cities" familiar (not only) to Latin America. The "unplanned" city
of the Brazilian favelas provides a habitat for millions. It is a
phenomenon, a fact which politicians and planners can no longer ignore. But
what are the innovative approaches of planners and designers to working with
and for a city whose problems have long raised existential issues for the
entire urban organism?
The Bauhaus Kolleg plans to develop a blueprint for city-making, a complex
urban intervention model (Cellula Urbana/Urban Cell) for a favela in Rio de
Janeiro. The model will place the urban structures and the economic and
sociocultural demands of the favela ("city within a city") on a par with
those of the "official" city. The brief aims at a model of intervention
which embodies high standards of design and technology and generates and
represents networks, communication and exchange with the "reputable" city.
The members of the Kolleg are highly qualified, professional, unconventional
and innovative figures who have displayed eloquent commitment to the brief
and the program in their applications. They will be drawn from the following
disciplines:
architecture/urban development
media
art
design
urban economy
technical installations/physics of built structures.
For further details please refer to the Bauhaus Kolleg information on our
website.

Hi All,
This is your update on Fallout, an internet radio location at
http://www.gaialive.co.uk produced by Kate Rich association with Mute, the
magazine of culture and technology.
[if you do not want to receive information about the programme, please mail
<mute@metamute.com> and we will remove you from our list]
<10-01-00..........
While the millennium casts its shadow over everything else and
Christianity's mighty time piece proves a worthy contender to the eclipse,
Fallout brings you another millennial phenomenon: the London mayor.
The mayor's impending election has been hailed as many things, including a
flashy bit of window dressing by a PR-savvy government. As ever though, the
devil is in the detail, specifically the serious executive powers this
mayor will have. And they are many.
In times past, we only had the Lord Mayor of the City of London--a now
largely symbolic character who continues to be cheered annually in a
flamboyant parade. Then came the Greater London Council which met its death
under Thatcher. If Tony Blair *is* raising anybody from the dead with his
reinstatement of a mayor, what, or who, exactly is it? Is it something more
like the Mayor of the historic City of London with all his heraldry brought
alive in actual responsibilities?
Fallout#2 brings you one possibility--fractally extrapolated into the
future. "I am the Mayor of London" is based on a story by Matthew Fuller
(printed in full in Mute15). Here, political finesse comes in the
traditional Machiavellian variety as well as in a million other, softer
hues. In a world where category errors abound, but nobody cares as long as
it looks nice.
"I'm at a late-night meeting, helping to develop the next generation of
cause-related marketing with appeal committee fundraising. The crowds
outside are going wild. I nearly knock the roast swan luncheon off the desk
with the laptop. The making of the grand entrée for my six-minute slot
beckons."
We invite you to an audience with the mind of the millennium.

February/ March 2000 ³Speakers¹ Corner², a permanent artwork, will
be launced in Huddersfield (UK)
A 15-metre-long text display has been attached to the front of the Kirklees
Media Centre in Huddersfield that consists of a constant stream of words.
News and views flash by along with poetry, political statements, talking
about the weather and obscure messages. Where do all these texts come from?
Most of them come from the Internet. People send their texts via the
Speakers' Corner website. This can take the form of commenting on a
particular discussion subject (which is a part of the site), reacting to
what other people have said or some arbitrary idea or rant.
Some texts are also provided by passers-by who use the microphone on the
street booth located across the junction opposite the text display.
There are also links to other Internet artworks that are based on text.
These links are activated when there is no input from the street or from
the Internet.
This veritable Tower of Babel is displayed across the front of the Media
Centre, and can also be seen and heard on the Speakers' Corner website. As
an artwork on the Internet, it makes each moment both visible and audible:
the bustle of data, miscommunication and the desire for contact. This is a
place where private and public merge.
Speakers' Corner is a permanent artwork by Jaap de Jonge. It was initiated
by Kirklees Media Centre (Huddersfield) in co-operation with Public Arts
and with the financial backing of the National Arts Lottery.
For the pilot of this project we are looking for people who want to join us
in contributing subjects in combination with a statement. These will be used
as discussion items on the regulary changing website. You can opt for your
favourite hobbyhorse or send striking staments of others. Important is that
it will trigger users of the site to react. The subject is used as headline
for the statement.
To integrade into the website we have some limitations:
maximum number of carachters for the subjects: 11
maximum number of carachters for the statement : 200
You can send you subjects/ statements to: ³subjects@montevideo.nl²
Please contact us for more information on the same adres.

LA BIENNALE DE MONTRÉAL 2000 - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
*********************************************************
La Biennale de Montréal 2000 will present ten works created for the Web
and centering on the theme of L'autre monde / Out of this World.
The exhibition will gather Web projects that establish an analogy
between cyberspace and that unknown, unfathomable space, the
other-world of spirits, of the dead, paradise or hell, however
designated by particular culture or belief.
We invite artists whose Web works relate to this theme to submit their
Web project (s). Only artworks specially conceived for the Web will be
taken into
account.Digitalized images, Web documents that promote an exhibition,
for
instance, will not be considered.
Link to the theme L'autre monde/Out of this world is absolutely
essential. The exhibition is about space. Artists have established a
parallel
between cyberspace and the world of the after life because the nature of
cyberspace allows such comparisons:
* continuity of the self
* absence of the body
* threshold (from real to virtual)
* infinite space
* loss of spatial references
When submitting your work, please give the following information, before
20 January 2000:
* a resume of the artist(s)
* a description of the project
* url
* date of work
If the work is not completed now, please indicate expected date
of completion. Recent works are desired.
The selection will be made soon.
La Biennale de Montréal 2000 will take place from 28 September to 29
October 2000.
La Biennale is produced by Centre international d'art contemporain de
Montréal.

Lux Gallery opening this Thursday 6 - 9pm.
Nick Crowe
The New Medium
Friday, 14 - 28 January, 2000
Daily 12 - 7pm
‘A dead person is really dead and those grieving need human comfort
which cannot be replaced or substituted by a computer.’
A spokeswoman for the Birmingham Diocese of the Church of England
Friday, 7 January, 2000, 18:41 GMT: BBC Online
The recent work of Nick Crowe reveals a fascination with funerial
culture on the web. His latest body of work, The New Medium, focuses
on text messages sent by friends and relatives to the recently
deceased who have been uploaded, not to heaven, but to the net.
Presently, a number of web-sites exist as a final resting place - a
memorial which can be visited for years to come. Examples include
the WorldWide Cemetery (http//:www.cemetery.org) and ImminentDomain
(http://imminent.domain.com/). Crowe’s latest work consists of a
series of glass panels with etched text messages from memorial web
sites. Presented as illuminated line drawings in the Lux Gallery,
The New Medium examines a growing spiritual investment in cyberspace
through the adoption of the computer as a medium with which to speak
to the dead.
Nick Crowe’s The New Medium will feature as part of this year’s
Video Positive in Liverpool. Crowe’s previous project Citizerns was
iniitated by Channel and exhibited on the Internet as a limited
edition downlaod. Previous projects include Mugger Music, Manchester
& New York, 1996 & 1997; Bank TV, Manchester, Glasgow, London,
Lisbon, 1996; ArtAIDS, CD-Rom, London, 1997.
Death in Cyberspace
Lux Gallery Talk/Artist Presentation
Saturday 22 January, 3pm
Nick Crowe, Reverend Paul Turp, Matthew Fuller, Gregor Muir
To coincide with The New Medium, Nick Crowe (artist), Reverend Turp
(Shoreditch Church), Matthew Fuller (writer /critic/curator) and
Gregor Muir (Lux Gallery Curator) will discuss issues raised by the
work and the Internet’s association with death and spiritual
incarceration.
This exhibition has been supported by Kirin Beer.

TV's lost technology - by frank beacham
In a darkened movie theater, watching the media-stoked killing and mayhem in
Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, I was struck by a deep sense of sadness
over yet another of life's lost opportunities. Once again, I thought, our
generation has squandered one of its most powerful tools.

mediawork 15 | Post '89 Theory
Saturday | February 12 | 1-6 PM | LAT Media Center
Art Center College of Design
1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell and communism imploded, has replaced
1968 as the defining moment for contemporary theory. Unfortunately, most
intellectuals are still using the concepts that they picked up from the
generation of '68 to deal with the electronic, networked, market-oriented
culture that emerged from the events of '89. The panelists participating in
this roundtable, on the other hand, posit Post '89 theories that
self-consciously live in, with and through new communication technologies.
They reject the notion that every instance of cultural consumption should be
read in reverse as an act of resistance, and they acknowledge market forces
without necessarily embracing them.
Join Sara Diamond from the Banff Centre for the Arts, international media
activist Geert Lovink, new media theorist Peter Lunenfeld, digital
artist/theorist Lev Manovich, and RTMark, the corporation which sponsors
sabotage of mass-produced products, as they discuss (and no doubt disagree
on) these issues and more in the latest installment of mediawork: The
Southern California New Media Working Group.
Following mediawork, at 6:00 PM Art Center's Williamson Gallery is hosting
an opening reception for "Stiffs," an interactive, computer generated video
art installation by Jennifer Steinkamp and Jimmy Johnson. RSVP to
<peterl@artcenter.edu>. Directions to Art Center can be found at
<www.artcenter.edu>. The LAT Times Media Center is on the lower level, park
in the student lot.
Panelists:
Sara Diamond is an artist, curator, and executive producer of new media. She
is responsible for all media, visual art, and new media research at the
Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada. <www.banffcentre.ab.ca/mva>
Geert Lovink is an international media activist and theorist who maintains a
mailing address in Amsterdam. Co-founder of the essential <nettime> mailing
list, he has coordinated innumerable public events and publications,
including the Hybrid Workshop at documenta X, and Readme!: ASCII Culture and
the Revenge of Knowledge (Autonomedia, 1998). <www.nettime.org>
Peter Lunenfeld, the founder of mediawork, teaches in Art Center's graduate
program in Communication & New Media Design. Editor of The Digital
Dialectic: New Essays on New Media (MIT Press, 1999), he writes the "User"
column in art/text, and his book, Snap to Grid: A User's Guide to Digital
Arts, Media, and Culture (MIT Press, 2000), will be published in April.
Lev Manovich teaches studio and theory classes in digital arts at the
University of California, San Diego. Co-editor of Tekstura: Russian Essays
on Visual Culture. (Chicago, 1993), his book, The Language of New Media
(MIT, 2000) will be published in the fall. Recent art projects include
"Little Movies" and "The Freud-Lissitsky Navigator" (with Norman Klein).
<visarts.ucsd.edu/~manovich>
RTMark is a brokerage that benefits from "limited liability" just like any
other corporation; using this principle, RTMark supports the sabotage
(informative alteration) of corporate products by channeling funds from
investors to workers, seeking cultural not financial profit. RTMarkŒs web
site and promotional video have been selected for inclusion in this year¹s
Whitney Biennial. <www.RTMark.com>
