Subject: Opacity and transparency-call for entries
Opacity and transparency
Protocols; dynamic IP generating; on the fly data gathering: the search
for a language that delineates the current from the past. The Medium is
the message.
Clouds of sky, flush of toilet, a burst of laughter. What has a
data-packets-infested household actually done to us? The Medium is not
the message.
What constitutes the kernel of netart: network as art, art rides on the
network?
A survey of the polemic approach to what concerns us in a wired world.
submissions will be considered for an upcoming net-show featuring
artists working online with those respective interests.

"PRIVACY, AUTONOMY AND THE LIMITS OF TECHNOLOGY"
MONDAY, March 26, 2001
TIME CHANGE: 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
George Radwanski
Privacy Commissioner of Canada
140 St. George, Room 728
Faculty of Information Studies (building adjacent to Robarts Library)

This lecture explores the relationship between technology and privacy and
the impact of the new Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act. Commissioner Radwanski argues that the issue is more than
simply a technological one requiring a technological solution, and that
responsiblity for the protection of privacy cannot simply rest with
individuals, no matter how technologically sophisticated they may be.

Subject: WOHLFUEHLWELT
WOHLFÜHLWELT
- - von den Regisseuren des Glücks
im fundernovum in St. Veit/Glan - Glandorf, Klagenfurter Str. 87-89.
Samstag, 31. März 2001, ab 20 Uhr
mit drehli robnik, maschek, monochrom, Dj Super Tronic und magnetpnp
www.monochrom.at/wfw
"Die Welt ist alles, wo man sich wohlfühlt," hat der beliebte
österreichische Sprachphilosoph Ludwig Wittgenstein geschrieben.
Zumindest hat er es so gemeint - bzw. hätte er es so geschrieben, wenn
er inniger mit Kärnten vertraut gewesen wäre.
Die auf bedingungslosen Kult hin designte Veranstaltung WOHLFÜHLWELT (am
31. März ab 20 Uhr im fundernovum in St. Veit/Glan - Glandorf) setzt
alles daran, uns die Poesie des Fremdenverkehrs hautnah erleben zu
lassen.
Es geht um die überschwängliche Rhetorik, mit der österreichische
Tourismuswerbung (nicht nur, aber vor allem in Kärnten) soziale und
geografische Räume bewirbt und sie dabei zugleich im Wege einer
Verwandlung hervorbringt: Einschlägige Begriffe wie "Märchenalm",
"Aromagrotte", "Landidyll", "Sehnsuchtswelt", "Kraftplätze", aber auch
"Wohlfühlpauschale" oder "Spielkameradengarantie" - das sind nicht nur
bizarre Wortneuschöpfungen, die an Stilblüten, Drogenlyrik und
romantischen Seelentaumel erinnern. Diese (auch im folgenden wörtlich
zitierten) Formulierungen schaffen auch vollendete Tatsachen: das Faktum
einer ebenso symbolischen wie sinnlich erlebbaren Welt in vollendeter
Harmonie mit der Befindlichkeit und Kaufkraft ihrer Zielgruppen.
Ist ein Hotel noch ein Gebäude bzw. ein Beherbungsunternehmen, wenn es
als "Wellness Hotel", "Harmony Hotel", "Romantik-Hotel",
"Landidyll-Hotel" oder "Hotel des Glücks" beschworen wird? Geht es noch
um etwas so Banales wie Freizeitgestaltung, wenn "Ferien mit allen
Sinnen" gemacht werden?
Ist das bloße Kartenspielen gemeint, wenn von der "Kunst des Schnapsens"
die Rede ist? Oder grenzt es an einen Akt der Welterschaffung, wenn ein
Fremdenverkehrs(bundes)land zur "Oase des Wohlbefindens" wird und "das
heimliche Österreich" uns "wie eine andere Welt" erscheint, die zugleich
"deine eigene Welt" ist? Die zwischen New-Age-Euphorie und
antimodernistischer Regression lavierende Fremdenverkehrspoesie, die
Heimat und Fremde ineinander verkehrt, verknüpft spirituelle
Offenbarungsmystik mit dem Urvertrauen in die konsumierenden Sinne. Es
scheint um elementare Dinge zu gehen - um ein "Eintauchen", eine
"Entdeckungsreise", "unterwegs zu sich selbst", durch "eine Landschaft,
die die Seele mit den Archetypen des Menschseins verbindet und uns auf
unbekannte Weise ankommen lässt."
Jedenfalls ist die WOHLFÜHLWELT nicht einfach ein Ort, wo man untätig
herumhängt, bis man sich erholt hat; vielmehr sind wir dort existenziell
gefordert, aufgerufen zum ekstatischen Mensch- und In-der-Welt-Sein.
Verordnungen wie "Spüren Sie die Magie der Landschaft!", "Genießen Sie
mit allen Sinnen!" oder "Tun Sie es einfach!" lassen daran keinen
Zweifel.
In diesem Sinn geht es bei WOHLFÜHLWELT darum, es einfach zu tun.
Im demütigen Bewusstsein, dass sich das Projekt der touristischen
Neuschöpfung von Welt, Sinn und Menschlichkeit kaum übertreffen oder
satirisch überhöhen lässt, macht sich WOHLFÜHLWELT einen Spaß daraus,
die Fremdenverkehrspoesie einem Realitätstauglichkeitstest zu
unterziehen, sie auseinanderzunehmen und falsch wieder zusammenzubauen.
WOHLFÜHLWELT macht gastfreundliche Demagogie zum Kunsterlebnis, das sich
anfühlt wie Verarschung und Entertainment - mit den Mitteln von
Architektur und Installation, Comedy und Performance, Varieté und
Dancefloor, im Geist des produktiven Missverständnisses, des
Understatement, der gebrochenen Immersion und der handgreiflichen
Parodie.
In die WOHLFÜHLWELT (und damit ganz zu uns selbst) gelangen wir durch
das "Panorama des Staunens", das dem Jahrhunderte alten carinthischen
Brauch des GTI-Fahrens gewidmet ist; dort können wir auf 72 Autoreifen
sitzen, den Gummigeruch mit allen Sinnen in uns aufnehmen, den Sound und
Speed von GTI auf Video genießen - oder weitergehen auf unserer
Entdeckungsreise, ins "Glückszimmer": Sandstrand und Landschaftspanorama
machen Verweilen zum Ereignis, Gucklöcher gewähren Einblicke in unser
persönliches Ich. Manche von uns wird es weiter ziehen, in die "Herberge
der Träume", wo uns ein majestätischer (150cm hoher) PingPong-Tisch
erwartet, mit Anleitungen zum Tischtennisspielen aus beliebten
Spielfilmen, eingehüllt in eine urige Speckwolke und ausgestattet mit 50
PingPong-Schlägern, auf denen der traditionelle Kärntner Wahlspruch
"Speck und Sport" ans gemeinsame Kulturerbe erinnert.
Was in unserer Hektomatik-Welt oft gedankenlos "Bühne" genannt wird, ist
in der WOHLFÜHLWELT die "Erlebnisoase": ein Podest, in den
(wahrnehmungspsychologisch ganzheitlich temperierten) Kärntner
Landesfarben, auf dem anerkannte Animatoren und Unterhaltungskünstler
uns mit ihren Possen entspannen: Satirische Darbietungen der
Kulturvereine "monochrom" und "maschek" (etwa das lichtbildunterstützte
Heimatgedicht "Unser schönes Kärnten") lassen uns endlich wieder Mensch
sein. Darüber hinaus werden die weit über die Bundeshauptstadt hinaus
beliebten Disk-Jockeys Drehli Robnik und Super Tronic uns mit deftigen
Moderationen seelisch ankommen lassen und einen musikalischen
Schmankerlmarkt auftischen, der den Dancefloor in einen Kraftplatz
verwandelt.
Abgerundet wird die Synfonie des Wohlbefindens in der "Sehnsuchtswelt",
wo wir uns an der Bar einem reichen Sortiment von "Mir tut es
wohl"-Getränken mit Vollrauschgarantie hingeben oder an fünf
Diaprojektoren Old-School-Memory spielen können. Um uns schließlich in
jeder Facette den "Alltag als Event" empfinden zu lassen, werden die
Kosettanlagen mit einer Sound-Installation bespielt, die zum
"Eintauchen" einladet.
Die Regisseure des Glücks
maschek
Was maschek tun, ist nur insofern Videokunst, Kabarett oder
Politsatire, als man das zum Glück nicht merkt. Sie tun es live oder
auf Video, in Diskussionsrunden oder durch Nachvertonung von
Bildmaterial aus dem staatlichen Privatfernsehen und aus dem
Foto-Archiv der Flohmärkte und Altwarentandler. Drei Tugenden halten
die maschek-Welt zusammen: Bildungsanspruch, Hang zur Fälschung ohne
Trennschärfe zum Ernstgemeinten, Hassliebe zum Österreichischen.
Besuchen Sie doch einfach die Spassfraktion der
Found-Footage-Avantgarde bzw. den Bildungsflügel der Retro-Kultur

DJ Super Tronic
Das hochenergetische Ein-Mann-Dienstleistungsunternehmen Super Tronic
agiert als Schallplattenunterhalter im genuinen Sinne. Dem
kollektiven, gerne auch bis zur ekstatischen Ausgelassenheit
reichenden Wohlbefinden verpflichtet, kennt er weder Hemmunungen noch
falsche Scheu. Der gute Vibe ist sein Auftrag, die dafür verwendeten
musikalischen Mittel sind
manigfaltig. Denn Groove ist ja bekanntlich eine Angelegenheit des
Herzens, und Häuser sind da, um gerockt zu werden.

[…] life_sharing is an anagram of "file sharing". life_sharing is a
computer sharing its hard-disk with the whole world, making all its
contents accessible via Internet. "All" does’t mean a directory of the
hard-disk but the whole content of the computer: programs, system (all
the software used is open source), desktop, archives, tools, ongoing
projects, mailboxes and so on. From the moment life_sharing started,
every Internet user has free access twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a
year to 0100101110101101.ORG’s computer: they can rummage through
archives, search for texts or files they’re interested in, check the
software, watch the "live" evolution of projects and even read
0100101110101101.ORG’s private mail.
Users can access the contents through their browser, thus no particular
technical abilities is required, only the basic notions necessary to
surf the web. The computer contents are not periodically uploaded -
thing that is usually necessary to update a web site - because
0100101110101101.ORG is working directly on the shared computer - the
web server - so that users follow the development of the work in real
time, they are always present and up-todate.
The idea is both simple and full of implications that go beyond the
concept of a work of art being an object of contemplation, and raises
political, sociological, philosophical and informational issues.
life_sharing determines and underlines problems and contradictions that
are no loner aesthetic, they are ethical.
The first of these problems is evidently privacy. life_sharing
represents a radical subversion of the concept of privacy, a clear
inversion of the perspective from which it has always been considered
and discussed. life_sharing is the "empirical" demonstration that on the
Internet is possible to experiment new forms of interaction and
networking, on the condition that we are willing to leave evidently
obsolete practices behind us. It is not a utopia, it is a practice that,
once started, is going to become part of our everyday life.
Another issue raised by life_sharing is the intellectual property
question: the proposal is not a complete abolition of copyright, but its
substitution with the GPL (Gnu General Public License -
http://www.gnu.org ).
Extract from the Gnu General Public License: "Licenses for most software
are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By
contrast, the GPL is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and
change free software - to make sure the software is free for all its
users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. You can apply to it to your programs too. When we speak of
free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that
you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
and that you know you can do this things. To protect your rights, we
need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or
to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it."
Untill now, the GPL, has been applied only to programs, with great
succes both economical and "cultural". 0100101110101101.ORG wish to
apply the open source model (so a license directly inspired by the GPL)
also to works of art. This statement is a concrete proposal: to truly
share intellectual properties, beginning from our own, every day.

Press Release
The Daniel Langlois Foundation & the Cinémathèque québécoise present:
Red Dice by American artist Bill Seaman
Montréal, March 22, 2001 - From March 22 to April 22, the Daniel Langlois
Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology is proud to present, in
collaboration with the Cinémathèque québécoise, Red Dice (2000) by American
artist Bill Seaman.
Commissioned in 1996 by the National Gallery of Canada, the interactive
installation Red Dice is a homage to the poem Un coup de dés jamais
n'abolira le hasard (Dice Thrown Never Will Annul Chance), written in 1897
by the celebrated 19th-century French poet Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898).
Drawing on the still-fresh innovative force of this landmark in modern
poetry, Bill Seaman has produced an arrangement of elements that invites the
viewer to juggle words, images and music.
Approaching Red Dice, the viewer will find an electronic tablet and pen. On
the tablet, Mallarmé's poem will appear, arranged to faithfully match the
original layout of his words. Mallarmé was ahead of his time when he wrote
Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard, a revolutionary piece that
challenges the reader's sense of order. The poem is sometimes considered one
of the earliest examples of non-linear reading, similar to today's
experience of navigating the World Wide Web. Viewers of Red Dice can
digitally page through the entirety of the poem on the tablet, or they can
touch the poem with the pen and activate Bill Seaman's fragments of images,
words and music. Other viewers in the room can follow the actions of the
person navigating the work via two projections on the wall.
Seaman describes the experience of navigation in Red Dice as floating,
skating over or flying between images, words and sound, in a choice of two
languages, creating a "recombinant poetics."
In the video that forms the base of the work, Seaman also suggests a
connection between old and new technologies by showing the punched-paper
programs used for the mechanical loom, the mill and the player piano-devices
that are the ancestors of today's computers.
"An adaptation of Mallarmé's poem in the form of an interactive
installation, Red Dice goes beyond mere illustration with its evocative
power, which is enhanced by the combinatory arrangement generated by the
computer program orchestrating the work's visual, acoustic, linguistic and
conceptual elements," says Jean Gagnon.
Born in 1956 in Kennet, Missouri, Bill Seaman began his career as a
performance artist and discovered video in the 1980s. He received a Master
of Science in Visual Studies in 1985 from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Cambridge. His studies there allowed him to explore interactive
technology and computer-based art. In 1999, Seaman completed a PhD at the
Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts at the University of
Wales, Newport. His work has been exhibited around the world and he has won
several international awards. He is currently a professor in the Department
of Design/Media Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The exhibition Red Dice will be presented from March 22 to April 22, 2001 in
the Norman-McLaren room at the Cinémathèque québécoise, 335 De Maisonneuve
Boulevard East, Montréal. For information on opening hours and admission,
