Subject: Shiho Fukuhara and Charles Lim at CSM degree show
In Central St. Martin's 2001 BA Fine Art show two students have produced
some great computer based art.
Charles Lim's laptop displays a hyper-real 3d model of the room in which it
is installed. Every 30 seconds the lights in the virtual and physical rooms
reverse - as one lights up, the other darkens to an over-emphasised ambient
noise recording. The ambient light appears to be sucked from the room into
the laptop as it and then explodes from it as it switches off.
PLEA: I wish I could remember the name of the artist/artwork he is quoting
with this.. a domestic lamp sits in a room. When switched on - the room
lights go down...creating the same optical illusion as described above. Can
anyone help? Bruce Lacey maybe?
His Quake mission in the Tate Modern is less interestingly displayed (no
frills: computer, joystick, table, chair) but beautifully drawn. While art
students all around the Tate were making charcoal sketches of the art he was
walking around with his laptop measuring proportions and emulating textures.
A highlight is that there are choice bits of art that you can blow up or
shoot. I've never enjoyed Bill Viola more than when assaulting his birth,
life, death triptych with a laser cannon.
Shiho Fukuhara's low-res digital projection acts like a broken magic
mirror, displaying a looped video clip of the last few seconds of the
viewer's activity. The motion is jerkily reminiscent of 1920's manually
driven camera work or poor quality digital surveillance footage. Her
installation revisits themes of earlier electronic art, but is executed with
a light touch, wit and fluency that 'interactive' art people like Lynn
Hershman Leeson could only have dreamed of (her "Paranoid mirror" 1995 was a
kind of austere SERIOUS version of this piece).
It's interesting to see electronic art coming from St. Martins. Having
suffered at their hands myself I am aware that there are no tech art
resources or support to be found anywhere, but these students have obviously
managed to beg, borrow and steal their way to getting some brilliant work
made.
The Central St. Martins show finishes on the 5th July (today!) but is open
until 6 p.m..so HURRY. Charles Lim's work is on the 5th floor and the 7th
floor. Shiho Fukuhara's work is on the 7th floor. 116-119 Charing Cross Road
London WC1 (Tottenham Ct Road or Leicester Square tube).

J7 - BORDERCAMP JUNCTION 7/7
07 JUL 2001 21:00 CET (+ 0100 GMT)
http://www.noborder.org
BORDER CAMP LIVE STREAMS
On Saturday, July 7, at 9 pm CET, a video live stream will be
broadcasted through the net. Video, text, sound and data streams coming
from Campsfield, Krynki, Lendava and Tarifa and other places will be
picked up and mixed up to single live video stream. It's an experiment,
meant to disseminate the common goals and the diversity of each camp,
their local contexts and the specific histories of each border, but also
to express the motivation of the different projects and to broadcast the
live atmosphere at the campsites.
"Freedom of movement" is the main objective of six bordercamps in summer
2001. Year by year the barbarism of the migration regimes causes
thousands of deaths along the borders between east and west, north and
south. As it is getting easier for the fluxes of money, goods and
capital to roam around the globe, crossing a border is becoming more and
more difficult for most people.
Borders are there to be crossed. People have the right to decide for
themselves where they want to live and how. We don't need a
globalisation designed for corporations and their hunger for more and
ever cheaper labour, no matter if legal or illegal.
So we are going to the borders of Europe and the US, we are gathering to
bring forward a real international from the bottom, which meets the
needs of people to communicate, exchange experiences and cooperate.
Each of the six camps is a site for political, cultural and media
activities, they are creating a space to gather and meet, discuss, make
actions and create connections. Camps are happening in:
TARIFA (es) july 2-8
http://www.noborder.org/camps/esp
LENDAVA (si) july 4-8
http://www.noborder.org/camps/slo
KRYNKI (pl) july 5-12
http://www.noborder.org/camps/pol
GENOVA (it) july 21-24
http://www.noborder.org/camps/ita
FRANKFURT (de) july 28-aug 5
http://www.noborder.org/camps/ger
TIJUANA (mx) aug 24-26
http://www.neuroticos.com/borderhack/
The distributed bordercamp communication structure starts with the J7
live stream on July 7 and will offer various services and opportunities:
J7-ANNOUNCER: A mailinglist for further and detailled information about
the live stream on july 7 and further on. Please subscribe to that

New Book Reviews in Cyberculture Studies (July 2001)
Each month, the Resource Center for Cyberculture
Studies (RCCS) <otal.umd.edu/~rccs/> publishes two or

modest attempt to locate critically various contours
of the emerging and interdisciplinary field of
cyberculture studies. To date, RCCS has reviewed over
95 books, covering a range of topics, from online
culture, communities, and identities to hypertext,
digital literacy, and online pedagogy to Internet
policy, the digital divide, and online privacy.
New reviews (found at http://otal.umd.edu/~rccs/books)
include:
Amy Jo Kim, Community Building on the Web (Peachpit
Press, 2000). Reviewed by Stine Gotved.
Steven Johnson, Interface Culture: How New Technology
Transforms the Way We Create & Communicate (Basic
Books, 1997). Reviewed by Jonathan Alexander.
Timothy Druckrey, editor, Ars Electronica: Facing the
Future. A Survey of Two Decades (MIT Press, 1999).
