Und dies ist eine sehr schmerzhafte Ästhetik, es ist eine Ästhetik der Peinlichkeiten, der Blamage, des Verzichts. Da es aber eigentlich darum geht zu ergreifen, emotional auf einen Hörer einzuwirken, gibt es natürlich dieses Blamiertsein und die Peinlichkeit als eine Art Ergriffenheit und als ein Spiel damitÖ" (Oswald Wiener, aus einem Vortrag über selten gehörte musik, Köln 1998) "es ist sehr schwierig, etwas zu machen, wenn der verstand sehr beweglich ist. es braucht dann keiner bewegung der gegenstände. sieh dass die ereignisse deine einsicht nicht festlegen, dass die eine interpretation nicht erzwungen werden kann; dass der verstand grösser als sein gegenstand ist (etwa insofern irrtum möglich ist) und sieh dass nur der gelähmte verstand der wirklichkeit bedarf und der verschiebungen in ihr. er sieht die mechanismen nicht, die vom gegenstand zu ihm führen und kann sie nicht ändern; jede veränderung des gegenstandes führt über starre hebel zu einer veränderung seiner auffassung, und jede veränderung einer vorstellung projiziert er auf den gegenstand. neue formen gehören zu einer strategie, mitzuteilen dass man die alten formen anders verstanden hat. aber mir geht es nicht um kommunikation, sondern um die aufweichung meiner vorstellungen. SELTEN GEHÖRTE MUSIK ist auf dem weg zu grösserer beweglichkeit des verstandes, nicht der ereignisse, und beachtet musikalische formen nicht (musikalische formen: die als eigenschaften des verstandenen wirken aber unbedachte und aufzulösende mechanismen des verstehens sind)... SELTEN GEHÖRTE MUSIK aus der unfähigkeit: noch nicht vergessen haben, wie man hören muss (und zu den regeln zurückstreben), aber schon unfähig, den kanon anzuwenden; noch nicht im stande, jederzeit das vom andern gemeinte aus dem was man von ihm wahrnimmt zu streichen, aber doch bereits das selbst getane in seiner beliebigen interpretierbarkeit sehen und die modulation der wenigen aspekte, die mir überhaupt auffallen, nicht zur manipulation deines verständnisses sondern gegen die enge meines eigenen meinens einsetzen..."

Ever since documenta X 1997 in Kassel, internet art has been placed on the map of the contemporary art world. Artists such as the duo jodi.org or Marko Peljhan were suddenly launched into the international art world. Meanwhile, however, artists working primarily with the internet have remained rather exotic creatures in the art zoo. Why? Are these artists misunderstood? Does net.art also demand a new set of criteria? What is the relevant context in which these works should be discussed and analysed; that of contemporary visual arts, or rather the context of the internet itself and the turbulent developments of the new communication and information technologies? It begs the question how art criticism should deal with these phenomena. Is internet art or "net.art" simply another art form as there are many others, a genre, which then can be a normal part of regular art criticism? Or do these works in the admittedly special context of the internet require their own criteria and their own discourse, in order that they can be appropriately understood and valued? Participants in the debate are; Frederic Madre (F); Tilman Baumgaertel (D), writer, critic, author of "net.art Materialien zur Netzkunst"; Sarah Cook (UK), Curator, writer and researcher, University of Sunderland; Graham Harwood (UK), media-artist (ex-Mongrel) and currently artist in residence at De Waag Society for Old and New Media; jodi (B&NL) artist duo, creators of the famous jodi.org net art web site, SOD a radical adaptation of the 3D game Wolfenstein and the "Wrong Browser" project.

Conference & Panels Thursday, 7.2., 16.00 Conference 1: Public Space Invaders Public space is not a control-free gathering place for enlightened citizens; rather it is a technically and highly media equipped system combining visibility, vigilance and control. Publicity today is rather something which takes place in the pseudo- private spaces of the television than in urban spaces. In digital space, the border between private and public data, between communication and information is disappearing. And yet, we are not only the slaves of mobile communications services, of biometric systems and public displays. Resourceful artists and media activists are appropriating the necessary technologies, and creating creative and critical media for digital publicity. With: Konrad Becker (at), director of Public Netbase Vienna, on the research and information project World-Information.Org; Matthew Fuller (uk), media theorist from London, on tactical media and 'TextFM', a project developed together with G. Harwood which combines private SMS with radio; Tim Pritlove (de) of Berlin's Chaos Computer Club on the spectacular Blinkenlights installation at the Haus des Lehrers on Alexanderplatz; Andy Bichlbaum of TheYesMen (int), a group of activists who say an irritatingly loud yes! to globalisation. Additionally we show a video by the Surveillance Camera Players (us), who play theatre in front of surveillance cameras, and a commercial break by ubermorgen.com. Thursday, 7.2., 20.30 Conference 2: Global Public Global Public: The New World Order of Broadcasting Globalisation is not merely an economic and political phenomenon, it is also taking place to a substantial degree in the media, which increasingly enables a connected audience worldwide to take part live in global events. The conditions for global media reportage have changed fundamentally over the past years. The co-existence of satellite, internet, and terrestrial broadcasting channels has led to the disappearance of the boundaries between global concerns such as CNN, regional stations such as the Arabic Al Jazeera, or the media activist network Indymedia. Representatives of such networks discuss the 'new world order' of broadcasting. (Participants to be confirmed) Friday, 8.2., 16.00 Conference 3: Images in Process Images in Process Media images in the digital era are no longer static representations of reality; rather they are temporary constructions based on software and codes. Images are mixed, sampled, and interpreted technically. The significance of these images is dependent on the technical and cultural conditions under which they can be received, reproduced, and manipulated. The truth and the authenticity of images, which with photography had still been tied to the immediacy of the moment, can, in the digital flood of images, only be depicted as a tendency, as a pattern, as a possibility, which can be eradicated again at any moment by a more recent overwriting. Those who wish to report and publicise events have to learn to move with the image process. History is an interactive account of events; every image within it is a passing approximation. With: Edmond Couchot (fr), Prof. emeritus at University of Paris 8, on generative image processes and the 'second interactivity'; Michael Punt (uk) of University of Wales College Newport, on the aesthetics of the 'post-digital analogue'; Peter Lynch (ca), film maker, on digital film production and the totally media-driven perception of 'Cyberman' Steve Mann. Moderation: Thomas Y. Levin (us) Professor in Film Studies at Princeton University Friday, 8.2., 20.30 Conference 4: Software Speculations Software Speculations The growing social significance of computer software is indisputable. Countless processes within the Information Society are being shaped by software, and from Apple Macintosh, to Napster, free software and 'open source', it is clear that software is not a value-free instrument, but represents in each case a wilful cultural artefact. Artists and cultural scientists are therefore increasingly reflecting upon the political, ideological, ethical and aesthetic dimensions of software and software design. The transmediale competition for 'software art' pays tribute to this development. At the beginning of the programme, the projects nominated for the transmediale 'software award' will be presented by the artists: Daniel Hahn/Dietmar Schifferbauer (de), Joan Leandre (es), Local Area Network (ch), Alex McLean (uk) With: Manfred Fassler (de), cultural and media anthropologist at the University of Frankfurt, about the constitution of social spaces through software; Matthew Fuller (uk), media theorist, about speculative software and the research project 'Software=Culture'; Margarete Jahrmann (at), artist and media theorist who teaches at art academies in Linz, Wien and Zuerich, about software as a generative art-machine. Moderation: Florian Cramer (de), lecturer in Comparative Literature, FU Berlin Wednesday, 6.2., 20.30 Panel: Concepts of Interactive Art Concepts of Interactive Art The artists in the exhibition present their different concepts and areas of expertise: the works shown are based on artificial intelligence, biofeedback, voice recognition or deliberate, physical navigation. Under discussion are the artistic chances and risks of interactive projects, as well as the rules under which interface design functions. Particular attention has been paid to the unusual conditions and demands placed on the visitor's reception of the work, in order to develop a clearer definition of the term "interaction". Presentations by: Peter Frucht (hu/de), robotlab (de), Jonah Brucker-Cohen (us) Panel: Luc Courchesne (ca), Seiko Mikami (jp) Masaki Fujihata (jp), Kenneth Rinaldo (us) Thursday, 7.2., 14.00 Panel: SMS Encounters (in German) "SMS Encounters: The intensification of the public sphere?" SMS-fever - not only means E-speed lyrics between two people. Novels and sports news are also obtainable with an SMS subscription. The Afghanistan war has also meant that troops are dealt with via SMS. Culture and media producers are experimenting with the private medium in order to make use of the mobile telephone as enter key for new forms of public broadcasts. For some time now, a semipublic communications network is taking on vague contours. TV and radio are also being short-circuited through the private remote control. Do infringements between the private and the public sphere take place when a private mobile medium is shortcircuited with immobile public media? The panel SMS encounters intends to shed light on the production environment of (intermedial) SMS-applications, and clarify their definition of the public. With: Olaf Arndt, Kuenstler, www.bbm-ww.de; Alexandra Bohn, Autorin, u.a. www.spex.de; Klaas Glenewinkel, Medienproduzent, www.okb.de; Christoph Maire, CEO, www.gate5.de; Nils Roeller, Medientheoretiker, www.khm.de; Matze Schmidt, Medienaktivist www.n0name.de. A cooperation between Berliner Gazette + Media Arts Lab/ Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien www.berlinergazette.de www.bethanien.de/mal Saturday, 9.2., 12.00 Panel: Young Russian Media Art Young Russian Media Art In spite of all the changes and new orientations in Russia's intellectual landscape they do not forget their post-soviet "rituals of understanding" and are developing ways of describing new spiritual processes with euphoric composure and ironic self-exaggeration. Young media artists from Moscow and St.Petersburg present their work. With: Eldar Karhalev, developed the Wap-Portal WAPICONA; Sergei Teterin, describes a heavenly Nirvana in 'All Media Artists Go To Heaven', where media artists enter after their death, to work with the internet, pagers, and mobile phones; Ivan Khimin, studied art history and media art at Pro Arte Institute in St. Petersburg; Anna Kolossava, plays with virtual and physical spaces; Yuri Popov, works with the artistic possibilities of the Flash format. Moderation: Alexei Shulgin Samstag/Saturday, 9.2., 12.00 Panel: Digital Cultural Heritage (in German) Digital Cultural Heritage Art and culture live by their confrontation with tradition. The digitalisation of large areas of our cultural production means that our society faces the challenge of preserving this most recent inheritance for us, and for posterity. What will happen when in a few decades the necessary combinations of hardware, operating systems and software no longer function? The answers to these questions are not only of great importance to art historians, but are of interest to the whole of society. From the annual balance sheet to the computer game; is there any information left that is non-digital in nature - and are we facing the great post-digital age of forgetting? With: Konrad Becker, Public Netbase Wien, www.world-information.org Rudolf Frieling, ZKM Karlsruhe, www.zkm.de Oliver Grau, Humboldt Universitaet Berlin, www.arthist.hu-berlin.de/arthistd/mitarbli/og/og.html Hans Dieter Huber, Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste Stuttgart, www.art.net.dortmund.de/ger/ per/hu_4fr.html Andreas Lange, DiGA - The Digital Game Archive Berlin, www.computerspielemuseum.de Sunday, 10.2., 14.00 Panel: Paper.Hype Paper.Hype Under the title 'Paper Hype' the transmediale.02 is for the first time organising a meeting of editors of a number of different European magazines dealing with digital culture. Representatives from England, France, Austria, Germany and Italy will introduce their print media and will discuss the conditions for publishing in the internet era. What does it mean to produce a magazine, a paper publication about digital culture in an era of apparently total digitalisation? Mute calls it: Proud to be Flesh! With: Jan Rigos Hillmann, DE:BUG, Berlin, zeitung fuer elektronische lebensaspekte, www.de-bug.de Christian Hoeller, springerin - Hefte fuer Gegenwartskunst, www.springerin.at Fran Ilich, undo, Mexiko, www.cmca.gob.mx/undo Armelle Leturque, CRASH, Paris, www.crash.fr Alessandro Ludovico, NEURAL, Bari, www.neural.it Pauline van Mourik Broekman, MUTE, London, www.metamute.com Sunday, 10.2., 12.00 Panel: Public Vote/Public Bet > K 1 Stuart Rosenberg: Public Vote/Public Bet The project Public Vote/Public Bet was developed by Stuart Rosenberg specially for transmediale. 02. Instead of leaving the decision about the award winners to the expert jury, festival visitors can vote on the best projects and choose their own Public Vote Award in the three award categories. A second 'go public!' is added to this first one: in the 'Public Bet' betting booth the festival visitors can place bets on the winners of the Public Vote Award. If you guess correctly, you win the jackpot! On the day after the prize ceremony, Rosenberg presents the project and discusses the implications of different types of open, public and democratic decision making processes. info: www.transmediale.de [full programme online 15 january] _______________________________________ andreas broeckmann - artistic director - transmediale - international media art festival berlin klosterstr. 68-70 - d-10179 berlin tel. +49-30-24721907 - fax +49-30-24721909 ab@transmediale.de - www.transmediale.de - --------------------------------------- transmediale.02 - [go public!] - 5-10 feb 2002 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 13:22:25 +0100 From: "nomusic" <info@nomusic.org> Subject: Melting Media Project 003 festival@mmp.noisiv.org www.mmp.noisiv.org 16.01.2002 - Start : 09:30pm (CET +1) MELTING MEDIA PROJECT 003 >>> Input/Output Behaviors <<< "MMP003" will take place in Acud Remise (veteranien str, Berlin) and by streamed live on www.nomusic.org (real audio and video). participants: *fake masters - - noisepoprock in accordance with some dwarfs and giants we the fake masters composed for a number of years discarding the more successful composers of all time. http://fakemasters.net/fakeonline *g.las - - cut-up ambient + visuell enlightenment Since year 2000 `g.las´ works on manipulation and penetration of the listener.

This lecture will bring together the issues of privacy and intellectual property. Check the date and time below. The location is the same as last term. Best. Ana] PRIVACY LECTURE SERIES <http://privacy.openflows.org> PAMELA SAMUELSON PRIVACY DIMENSIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Thursday, January 17, 2002 6:45-8:00PM 140 St. George, Room 728 Faculty of Information Studies (building adjacent to Robarts Library) University of Toronto The lectures are free of charge and you do NOT have to register. Abstract As the content industries expand the scope of intellectual property (IP) and the technological means for enforcement, important other social values are negatively affected such as freedom of speech, freedom of research and privacy. In this talk Pam Samuelson, will focus on the right to privacy and how it is affected by the emerging new copyright regime, for instance, how do we balance individuals' right control their private sphere with corporate rights to control their property and combat piracy? Are new systems, which force users to license content and to establish a permanent relation with the right holders, for example in Windows XP, an intrusion into the user's private sphere? Can the issue of privacy be used to fight the seemingly limitless expansion of rights of IP holders?

The following types of work can be referred to as artistic software: 1. Instructions (read_me) for modifying standard, commonly used software, as well as patches and anything that creates an artistic impact on software in a way not planned by the application's producers. 2. Deconstruction of existing software products, including computer games. 3. Programs written from scratch with a purpose different than the usual "rational" software purposes, i.e. the rejection of the idea of a program as a purely pragmatic tool. Since the curators of the festival do not consider it necessary for the framework of the artistic software categories to be too narrow, contact the curators if you are not sure if your work is suitable for read_me 1.2!
