Since its launch in November 2000, the site full of unique articles by selective, critical writers, and the convenient 'Scheduler' and 'Reminder Mail' functions, is getting more and more positive response from readers throughout the world. To this REALTOKYO, a sister will be born! Starting from September 25, 2001, REALOSAKA (http:// www.realosaka.co.jp/) will be covering the Kansai region with all kinds of cultural news and information. The know-how and the functional technology REALTOKYO has developed in the year of its operation will, of course, be implemented also in REALOSAKA, spiced up with a certain Kansai flavor. For the future, various on- and off-line collaborations by these two city-specific web magazines are in preparation, to create a strong cultural connection between Tokyo and Osaka through events and other projects. We believe that this -- a co-operative network of multiple sites with refined, regional contents -- is an adequate approach to show the future potential of Internet sites, and we kindly ask for your support by telling your readers/viewers about our project(s) in your publication/program. At the same time both magazines offer plenty of possibilities for unique and effective advertising, promotion, or cross-media collaboration (please see our current page for the "Coca-Cola 'NO REASON' Art Project" http:// www.realtokyo.co.jp/colaE/cola.html for reference). Besides investigations about REALTOKYO and the launch of REALOSAKA, we'd be happy to respond to your consideration of making use of our magazines for your own promotion, and send you our brochure with detailed information. For any kind of questions, comments, requests, etc., please feel free to contact us at info@realtokyo.co.jp We're looking forward to future exchange and collaboration!

On behalf of the Impakt organization, Arjon Dunnewind, Artistic Director. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Impakt 2001, October 2-7 The 12th Impakt Festival will be special in many respects. For Impakt=20 2001, we have entered into a unique collaboration with the Centraal=20 Museum. With its multidisciplinary and temporary character, Impakt=20 will explore the borders of what is possible within the museum walls. An important part of Impakt 2001 is Group Show, a specially compiled=20 exhibition in which work is brought together by artists who pay=20 special attention to group behavior and group processes. Group=20 identity is taking on an ever more important role: collapsing nations=20 on one hand and the advancing process of globalization on the other=20 makes people reconsider the culture they form a part of. We are=20 exposed to smaller-scale manifestations of group processes every day=20 in terms of fashion, styling, and social traffic, in which we all=20 participate. In the Group Show exhibition collective identity is set=20 against individual identity in the form of installations,=20 performances, and workshops, and humans are exposed as herd animals. The artists participating in Group Show are Annika Larsson (S),=20 Jeroen Kooijmans (NL), Patricia Piccinini (AU), Maria Pask (NL),=20 Arturas Raila (LT), Julika Rudelius (NL) and Klaar van der Lippe (NL). This year Impakt is paying special attention to the American artist Doug Aitken. Various Dutch museums have been trying for some time to=20 organize an exhibition of his work. We are especially pleased that we=20 can present a program compiled by Aitken himself, with film versions=20 of his installations. With the annual Panorama program, Impakt once again offers an=20 overview of recent developments within innovative visual culture.=20 Panorama consists of a current selection of installations, the most=20 intriguing productions from film and video art, as well as cd-roms=20 and websites. In the Panorama exhibition Christoph Draeger (CH/USA), Magnus Wallin=20 (S), Femke Schaap (NL), Jose Restrepo (CO) en Ryoji Ikeda (JP) will=20 show new pieces. The Panorama new media programme includes cd-roms and websites by: Stanza (UK), Miroslav Nicic & Borjana Ventzislavova (AU), Michael=20 Brynntrup (D), squid s o u p (UK), Gustav Deutsch & Hanna Schimek=20 (AU), Melinda Rackham (AUS), Mia Makela (S/FIN), and many others. In=20 the new-media "couch.clubs" the artists themselves present their own=20 websites and CD-Roms. =46inally we have selected 147 films and videos by artists like William=20 Wegman (USA), Kristin Lucas (USA), Phyllis Baldino (USA), Salla Tykk=E4=20 (FIN), Sam Easterson (USA), Dominic Gagnon (CAN), Donigan Cumming=20 (CAN), Guillaume Graux (B), Nelson Henricks (CAN), Steve Reinke=20 (CAN), Jay Rosenblatt (USA). The music program is filled with concerts and DJ sets given by=20 leading artists from electronic music and dance culture. Influences=20 from hip-hop, techno, surf music, and other genres come together in=20 various performances that offer an overview of the latest trends in=20 music. DJ Olive (USA), Christian Fennesz (AU), Mouse on Mars (D),=20 =46unkst=F6rung (D), Luke Vibert (UK) and others will give concerts and=20 DJ-sets. With a single entry ticket, you can visit all of the programs in the=20 museum every day, from 11am to 11:30 pm . Furthermore, until 5pm you=20 can visit the Pipilotti Rist exhibition in the Centraal Museum's=20 project spaces. Because people cannot live on good art alone, Impakt=20 is also offering a delicious meal every day in the Centraal Museum's=20 Refectory, and you can drink to your heart's content in the stylish=20 bar. In our opinion, all the ingredients for an exciting week are at=20 hand. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Arjon Dunnewind, Impakt Festival P.O.

(Band of Pigs! Departed hopes! The nail has pierced itself) Love, Bippi. Dear pink of my mind! Pathetic. For ages I‘ve been looking for you. Everywhere. I can‘t remember when it began. Don’t ask me where I first saw you. It might have been the tiny lamp on an electronic toy I used to have as a child to teach me arithmetics. 1+1=3 and the lamp shone up bright. Wrong, this meant. Might have been my aunts lipstick, she used to hide behind the bottles of antiseptic in the bathroom cupboard. She never wore it. In secret, I did, of course. Or perhaps the high-heel, one chick threw after me, saying that I had watched her private parts too closely. Was I only there discovering, what I was to become obsessed with? Like you, that shoe really sent the stars whirling round my head. Today I’m careful. You still drive me crazy. You‘re not in the sunset, not in the stripes of my toothpaste. The places I search for you have been getting freaky lately. It spooks the shit out of me sometimes. A week ago I caught myself gazing deep down my own throat. The tongue all yellow. No pink of you. The other day my eyes were glued to the TV screen, staring at pig’s backsides. One packed next to the other. It could have been you – almost. My breath stopped and my hands shook. Call me a pig if you like.Why not green like grass or blue like the see – simple as that. It wasn’t my choice. You gave me the eye. Special kind of pink, my colour of...

Presentation Sunday 30 September 2001, 14.00 - 17.00 hours. location: V2_Organisatie, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam admission: fl. 10,- - - Despite the growing use of internet communication, broadcast radio waves still remain the most effective way of reaching the largest percentage of the world's population.. The development of radio communication has, analogous to the Internet, its roots in military technology. Artists, activists and theoreticians continuously seek new ways to examine different aspects of the radio spectrum. Guests: Derek Holzer (USA/NL) Is a sound and radio artist, and founder of the Czech internet broadcasting project Radio Jeleni. His most recent project is the Acoustic.Space.Lab, a collaboration with RIXC (Riga). Rasa Smite (LV) Is a media artist, organiser and net activist, based in Riga, Latvia.

This international event will be presided over by the German Federal Minister for Education and Research, Edelgard Bulmahn, and is aimed at anyone who works at the interface of art, culture, new technologies and media science. Some 250 attendees from the worlds of art, culture, science, education, business and politics are expected to attend. The program features presentations and discussions on the latest results from the field of research, state-of-the-art technologies and cutting-edge artistic projects that tackle the subject of Mixed Reality. See detailed programme: http://netzspannung.org/cast01/program_en.html There will be Internet broadcast of the cast01 conference using two different streaming technologies: RealMedia streaming, SureStream (56Kbps-250Kbps) for all Internet users MPEG-1 multicast streaming (1.5 Mbps) for broadband Internet users (PC only), available only in networks which allow multicast packets transmission. More info with appropriate streaming links and information how to register can be found on the cast01 Website: http://netzspannung.org/cast01 The cast01 conference is overshadowed by the attacks in the United States which took place on September, 11. Our sympathies go to our many colleagues, friends, and family in the US. As a concrete sign of our concern, we would like to use the cast conference as a way to respond to the events which are now uppermost on many of our minds. Issues addressed in the cast01 conference such as electronic surveillance, the control of space, and local and global communication take on a new meaning in the context of a large-scale, coordinated attack on civilians with no forewarning. In reaction to these terrible events we invited the speakers to consider, where appropriate, bringing this perspective into their presentations. On Sunday, September 23, from 11 - 12.30 h we invite you to join the reflections on cast01 in the Auditorium of the Kunstmuseum Bonn.

Offered as part of 7s01, an international day of protest against the video surveillance of public places, the NY SCP's half-hour-long performance was watched via the Internet by almost 3,000 people from all over the world, as well as by crowds of people in Times Square itself. Composed of Bill B, Bill D, Susan, Kristin and newcomer Marion, the NY SCP performed a version of Headline News that had been expanded to take account of such recent events as the exposure of the existence of a super-secret global spying system operated by the USA military and informally known as Echelon. In addition to performing and giving interviews, the members of the NY SCP handed out copies of a flyer written for the occasion. WHO WE ARE & WHY WE'RE HERE We're the Surveillance Camera Players, a group formed in New York City in November 1996. We protest against the use of surveillance cameras in public places because these cameras violate our constitutionally protected rights to privacy and free assembly. We manifest our opposition by performing specially adapted plays directly in front of surveillance cameras. We use our visibility -- our public appearances, our interviews with the media, and our web site -- to explode the cynical myth that only those who are "guilty of something" are opposed to being watched by unknown eyes. We have come to Times Square because the area is filled with surveillance cameras of all kinds and because today is an international day of protest against video surveillance. At exactly 1 pm Eastern Standard Time today, groups from all over the world (the USA, Colombia, England, France, Germany and Turkey) are taking to the streets to call attention to both the omnipresence of public surveillance cameras and the extent of the opposition to them. Covering the performance were reporters from the Tokyo Broadcasting System; a commercial webzine called Mutation Spotting; and a production company currently producing a series for Japanese Internet TV called "Upstream New York." Contrary to expectations, there were no problems with Earthcam, which sometimes shuts its cameras off when it finds that the NY SCP is standing in front of them, and the New York Police Department, which turned out in force for the group's performance in Times Square on 14 December 2000 and has a history of turning out in force for any SCP performance that has been announced in advance. While the first fact suggests that Earthcam has finally realized that the NY SCP isn't a group to be fucked with (the head of the company was contacted just before the performance by a reporter for Wired News), the second fact suggests that the NYPD has finally realized that the NY SCP isn't a violent group and doesn't pose any threat to "law and order." First proposed by Aktuelle Kamera, an anti-surveillance group in Bremen, Germany, the 7s01 Day of Action had it roots in and built upon some of the contacts made through a series of international actions undertaken by the NY SCP and the French group Souriez, Vous Etes Filmes on 14 December 2000. Unable to particpate in the 14 December 2000 actions, the German activists in Bremen promised that they would be involved in future demonstrations. In July 2001, they proposed 7 September 2001 as the date of the next international day of action. Adopted and slightly modified by the NY SCP, the proposal was posted on the NY SCP's web site and sent out to anti-surveillance activists all over the world. Eventually, 23 groups in 8 different countries got involved. Among these participants were two brand-new SCP groups: the San Francisco SCP and the Stockholm Surveillance Camera Theatre. The SCP network now exists in three American cities, in a total of four countries, and in tandem with a larger network of anti-surveillance groups in Europe, but especially France and Germany. ------------------------------ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
