Subject: Interface Cultures -- A discussion @jihui- Friday 25th, 2002
"Interface Cultures"
A discussion with Andruid Kerne (http://www.andruid.com) Golan Levin
moderated by Christiane Paul, Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts, Whitney
Museum of American Art
Since the "digital revolution" of the 1990s, the interfaces with the
virtual
(as well as physical) world have become increasingly sophisticated and
complex. The discussion will focus on the "state of the art" of today's
interfaces as well as the requirements of information environments and
shared social spaces.
"Interfaces are the multidimensional border zones through which the
interdependent relationships of people, activities, codes, components,
and systems are constituted. Interface ecology investigates the
dynamic interactions of media, cultures, and disciplines that
flow through interfaces."

- ------------------- :: Zapatista Tale :: ------------------------
Another Apple, Another Politics
"Adam ate the apple
of the virgin Eve.
Newton was a second Adam
of Science.
The first knew
beauty.
The second a Pegasus
weighed down with chains.
And they were not to blame.
The two apples were rosy and new, but bitter according to legend.
Both the embarrassed breasts of the child innocence!"
Frederico Garcia Lorca
Scientists, political scientists, opinion leaders, chiefs of great and
small political sects, all have gathered around Newton's fallen apple.
All of them analyze, discuss, corroborate. Hours, days, weeks, months,
entire years they take up. Finally they come to the irrefutable
conclusion: the apple has fallen because the law of gravity so orders it.
It is irremediable, the apple must fall, and, by doing so, it has done
nothing other than to subject itself to the law of gravity. The political
scientists congratulate each other and then begin great essays in order to
show Newton's apple as an example of 'real-politik.' The chiefs of state
talk of erecting a multiple monument in all the palaces of Power.
But, among the persons gathered around the future monument to modern
politics, there is a strange person. He seems to be a shadow, without face
and without name. If they ask him who he is, the shadow would respond
"zapatista," but no one asks him anything. Everyone is very busy with
their calculations, plans and programs.
But, while the scientists are making complicated calculations concerning
velocity, trajectory, much weight, acceleration, wind resistance, impact
and similar etceteras, and while the political scientists are re-writing
Machiavelli and discussing prices with the modern princes, the zapatista
approaches the apple, he looks at it, he smells it, he touches it, he
listens to it...
The zapatista understands what the apple is whispering in his ear. He
understands the challenge demanded by its cry. The apple says that fate
does not order it to fall to the ground, and, since it is a transgressor
of the law who is listening to it, it is about breaking the law of
gravity.
The apple is an apple, but it is, above all, a lady. The zapatista is
without face or name, but he is, above all, a gentleman. And the paper
and pencil come out again, and the apple explains and the zapatista feels
and agrees.
This apple that Newton has chained to the ground has another destiny.
The moon is an apple. The scales of history need two apples in order to
be able to look out at the morning clearly.
While managing to to work out the reverse flight of Newton's apple, the
zapatista looks at the apple again, smells it, touches it, and, what else,
gives it a tender bite.
The political scientists continue repeating and repeating to each other
the 'real-politik,' and the etceteras that already fill the magazines and
newspapers and the radio and television air time.
The zapatista continues making calculations.
To fall upwards, that is the mystery whose solution has been proposed...

La fondation Daniel Langlois est heureuse d'annoncer les deux premiers
chercheurs en résidence :
MM. Gerald O'Grady et Jeff Rothenberg
Montréal, 30 janvier 2002 - La fondation Daniel Langlois pour l'art, la
science et la technologie a le plaisir de présenter les deux chercheurs
choisis lors d'un concours international tenu cette année pour la première
fois dans le cadre de son Programme de bourses destinées aux chercheurs
résidents. Pour 2002, il s'agit de MM. Gerald O'Grady et Jeff Rothenberg.
M. Gerald O'Grady, D. Ph., poursuivra ses travaux dans le Fonds Steina et
Woody Vasulka, acquis par la fondation en 2000 et conservé au Centre de
recherche et de documentation (CR+D). Dans le cadre de sa recherche, M.
O'Grady se consacrera à un projet provisoirement intitulé Early History of
Electronic and Digital Art in New York State (Les débuts de l'art
électronique et numérique dans l'État de New York), qui place l'oeuvre des
Vasulka dans un contexte historique. À titre d'universitaire, M. O'Grady a
contribué activement aux débuts de l'art électronique, en fondant plusieurs
départements d'études médiatiques, en particulier à la State University of
New York at Buffalo. Le corps professoral de SUNY Buffalo comprenait
d'éminents artistes tels que les Vasulka, Hollis Frampton, Paul Sharits,
Tony Conrad, Peter Weibel et James Blue. M. O'Grady a enseigné dans diverses
universités américaines, parmi lesquelles la Columbia University, New York
et la New School for Social Research. Plus récemment, il a été nommé fellow
du W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research et membre du
Département d'études afro-américaines à Harvard, où il a dirigé des
recherches portant sur les films du Mouvement des droits civiques.
Aujourd'hui à la retraite, M. O'Grady a récemment été le premier professeur
invité (Gastwissenschaftler) du Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie à
Karlsruhe, Allemagne, où il a prononcé des conférences sur le travail de
Marshall McLuhan, à propos de qui il rédige un ouvrage.
Depuis 1979, M. O'Grady a édité, publié à compte d'auteur et contribué des
essais à plus de 30 catalogues dans le cadre de rétrospectives ou de séries
de films, dont The Films of the Civil Rights; Remembering Malcom X; et Czech
Filmaking, 1963-1990 pour The Public Theater de Joseph Papp; des essais sur
le réalisateur brésilien Nelson Pereiros dos Santos pour la Film Society of
Lincoln Center; sur Theo Angelopoulos pour le Museum of Modern Art de New
York; sur Dziga Vertov pour le Collective for Living Cinema (NY); sur Dusan
Mizoguchi pour la Cinématheque Ontario (Toronto); sur David MacDougall pour
Media Study/Buffalo; et Articulate Energy: The Emergence of the Abstract
Film in America pour la Harvard University and Anthropology Film Archives.
À titre de chercheur résident, M. Jeff Rothenberg travaillera à
l'élaboration d'un projet pilote visant la préservation d'oeuvres d'art
faisant appel aux technologies numériques. Il concevra également des
stratégies pour la tenue de tels essais. Aux fins de cette recherche, il
définira des paramètres pour la sélection d'oeuvres tout en tenant compte du
résultat voulu, soit de mieux anticiper les problèmes de la conservation des
oeuvres numériques. Informaticien principal à la RAND Corporation à Santa
Monica, Californie, M. Rothenberg est spécialiste en conservation des
archives et dossiers numériques et conseiller auprès de nombreuses archives
nationales, dont celles des Pays-Bas. Il agira comme chercheur principal
pour le projet et préparera le projet pilote dans le cadre de Variable Media
Network, une collaboration entre la fondation Daniel Langlois et le Musée
Guggenheim de New York.
Le concours international de la fondation a pris fin le 31 août. Les projets
choisis cette année répondent à deux grands objectifs : favoriser la
recherche fondée sur notre documentation et nos collections d'archives ainsi
que la recherche avancée sur la conservation des oeuvres d'art faisant appel
aux technologies numériques. La fondation estime que ces deux projets
contribueront de manière essentielle et exceptionnelle à la recherche dans
le domaine des arts et des nouvelles technologies. Le site Web de la
fondation, <www.fondation-langlois.org>, affichera, au cours des prochains
mois, des mises à jour concernant ces projets et leurs résultats.

The Daniel Langlois Foundation Is Proud to Announce the First Two
Researchers in Residence:
Gerald O'Grady and Jeff Rothenberg
Montreal, January 30, 2002 - The Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art,
Science, and Technology is pleased to present the two researchers selected
in the international competition held this year for the first time within
the Program of Grants for Researchers in Residence. The two researchers in
residence for 2002 are Gerald O'Grady and Jeff Rothenberg.
Gerald O'Grady, Ph.D., will continue his work on the Steina and Woody
Vasulka Archives, which were added to the Foundation's collection in 2000
and are kept at the Centre for Research and Documentation (CR+D). In
exploring these archives, Dr. O'Grady will focus on a research project
tentatively titled Early History of Electronic and Digital Art in New York
State, which places the Vasulkas' work in its proper historical context. As
an academic, Dr. O'Grady was actively involved in the early years of
electronic art, founding several departments of media studies, particularly
at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The faculty at SUNY Buffalo
included such eminent artists as the Vasulkas, Hollis Frampton, Paul
Sharits, Tony Conrad, Peter Weibel and James Blue. Dr. O'Grady has taught at
several U.S. universities, including New York, Columbia and the New School
for Social Research. Most recently, he was a fellow of the W.E.B. Du Bois
Institute for Afro-American Research and a member of the Department of
Afro-American Studies at Harvard University, where he conducted research on
the films of the Civil Rights Movement. Now retired, Dr. O'Grady was
recently the first guest professor (Gastwissenschaftler) invited by the
Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe, Germany, where he gave
a series of lectures on the work of Marshall McLuhan, on whom he is writing
a book.
Since 1979, Dr. O'Grady has edited, independently published and contributed
essays to over 30 catalogues for film retrospectives or series including The
Films of the Civil Rights; Remembering Malcom X; and Czech Filmaking,
1963-1990 for Joseph Papp's The Public Theater; on the Brazilian filmmaker
Nelson Pereiros dos Santos for the Film Society of the Lincoln Center; on
Theo Angelopoulos for the Museum of Modern Art in New York; on Dziga Vertov
for the Collective for Living Cinema (NY); on Dusan Mizoguchi for the
Cinématheque Ontario (Toronto); on David MacDougall for Media Study/Buffalo;
and Articulate Energy: The Emergence of the Abstract Film in America for
Harvard University and Anthropology Film Archives.
As a researcher in residence, Jeff Rothenberg will work to set up a test
case for the preservation of artworks that use digital technology. He will
also develop strategies for conducting such a test. As part of this
research, he will define parameters for selecting the artwork while keeping
in mind the desired outcome, which is to better anticipate the problems of
preserving digital works. Mr. Rothenberg serves as a senior computer
scientist for the RAND corporation in Santa Monica, California. He has
gained expertise in preserving digital archives and records and advises many
national archives including the National Archives of the Netherlands. Mr.
Rothenberg will act as senior researcher in the project and prepare our
emulation test case as part of the Variable Media Network, a collaboration
between the Daniel Langlois Foundation and the Guggenheim Museum in New
York.
The international competition held by the Foundation closed on August 31.
The projects selected this year meet two basic goals: to favour research
that makes use of our documentation and archive collections and to conduct
advanced research into preserving artworks that rely on digital
technologies. The Foundation believes that these two projects will make an
essential and exceptional contribution to research in the field of arts and
new technologies. Over the coming months, our Web site,
<www.fondation-langlois.org>, will post updates on the two projects and
their findings.

Subject: Privacy Lecture Series - Ann Cavoukian, Feb. 11, 2002
[I am very pleased to announce that our next speaker will be Ann Cavoukian,
Ontario's Privacy Commissioner and one Canada's most widely respected
privacy advocates. Over the years Ann has argued for a privacy policy that
is based on the balance between privacy and other rights, rather than on
absolutism, and that favours working solutions rather than unattainable
goals. The theme of the lecture is "Building Privacy Into Technolog". The
lecture will be held from 4pm to 5,30pm. I am sure this will be an
interesting, informative and thought provoking lecture. Best. Ana]
PRIVACY LECTURE SERIES
<http://privacy.openflows.org>
ANN CAVOUKIAN
BUILDING PRIVACY INTO TECHNOLOGY
Monday, February 11, 2002
4pm-5,30:00PM
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
In her talk Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's Privacy Commissioner, will discuss the
tragic events of September 11 and how that has affected many people's
perspective on privacy. She will discuss the need for balance between the
demands of public safety and need to respect the privacy of rights of
citizens. The talk will also discuss the implications of recent
anti-terrorism legislation in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere. The
presentation will define "privacy", discuss the basis of privacy, which is
fair information practices, and illustrate where these practices have been
codified into law around the world. The presentation will then discuss the
hype and reality of e-commerce and examine reasons why it has fallen short
of expectations. The last section of the presentation examines the role
that technology can play in protecting privacy.
Bio
Dr. Ann Cavoukian is recognized as a leading authority on privacy and data
protection. She was appointed Information and Privacy Commissioner in May
of 1997. As Commissioner, Ann oversees the operations of Ontario's freedom
of information and privacy laws, which apply to both provincial and
municipal governments. She serves as an officer of the legislature,
independent of the government of the day.
Ann joined the Information and Privacy Commission in 1987, during its
start- up phase, as its first Director of Compliance. She was appointed
Assistant Commissioner in 1990. Prior to her work at the Commission, Ann
headed the Research Services Branch of the Ministry of the Attorney
General, where she was responsible for conducting research on the
administration of civil and criminal law. Ann received her M.A. and Ph.D.
in Psychology from the University of Toronto, where she specialized in
criminology and law, and lectured on psychology and the criminal justice
system.
Ann sits on a number of committees involved in privacy and technology,
including the W3C's committee of experts working on P3P (Platform for
Privacy Preferences). She also served as a member of the American Task
Force on Privacy, Technology and Criminal Justice Information. Ann is
particularly interested in advancing privacy protection through the pursuit
of privacy-enhancing technologies.

NordiCHI 2002 introduces "aesthetic artefacts" as a new submission =
category
for experiments into how artistic expression and praxis affect =
perspectives
on interfaces, contexts and design.
The computer interface has developed from merely supporting work into a
broader cultural interface competing with and even replacing the book, =
the
gallery wall, the cinema screen, etc. Traditional functionalism fails in
relation to many new applications. At the same time, traditional
application areas may benefit from the inspiration from how digital =
forms
are articulated in artistic expression. Accordingly, digital arts =
challenge
the way we understand the computer, and the relation between form and
contents at the interface.
Examples of possible artefacts are (not limited to) interactive =
artworks,
computer games, interactive installations, netart, software art, =
artistic
interfaces, aesthetic experiments with HCI-related issues. An important
part of an aesthetic artefact submission is a short paper that =
thoroughly
reflects on CHI related issues affected by the artefact. Accepted =
aesthetic
artefacts will be exhibited at the conference in conjunction with the =
demo
session.
An aesthetic artefact submission is composed of three parts
- - A short paper, conforming to the NordiCHI 2002 short paper guidelines,
describing the artefact and reflecting on its contribution to the HCI
discourse.
- - An exhibition plan, describing how the artefact is going to exhibited,
including spatial requirements (one page).
- - (Optional) a representation of the artefact on video (VHS/PAL, S-VHS =
is
not accepted), CD-ROM or DVD.
The short paper and the exhibition plan should be submitted via the
conference web site, whereas the (optional) video/CD/DVD should be
submitted by ordinary mail in three copies.
Submissions will be reviewed by the programme committee supplemented by =
an
aesthetic artefacts special committee of artists and aesthetics =
scholars.
Aesthetic criteria as well as an assessment of contribution to the =
ongoing
understanding of human-computer interaction are taken into account.
Please observe that the presenters must supply all equipment necessary =
for
the exhibition. Limited Internet accesses will be available.
Please direct questions regarding aesthetic artefacts to =
art@nordichi.org.
Electronic submission deadline for aesthetic artefacts: March 1, 2002 =
(late
breaking results: August 1, 2002).

NordiCHI is the main Nordic forum for human-computer interaction =
research.
NordiCHI is the meeting place for researchers from academia and =
industry,
designers, practitioners, educators and others from a broad range of
traditions and communities; therefore the conference takes HCI in the
non-limited sense of research and practice addressing the design and use =
of
interactive technology.
NordiCHI is biannual. The first conference, NordiCHI 2000, was organised =
by
STIMDI, and took place in Stockholm, Sweden, October 2000. The =
conference
is a joint effort supported by the Nordic HCI organisations as well as
international partners. NordiCHI 2002 is hosted by Centre for =
Human-Machine
Interaction, University of Aarhus, Denmark, in cooperation with =
SIGCHI.dk.
The backbone of the conference is the technical programme in which a
limited number of quality papers, meeting international standards, will =
be
accepted. NordiCHI 2002 also invites good quality short papers (for
interactive presentations, see below), to generate and sustain =
interactive
cooperation among the conference participants, and to stimulate
dissemination of new results.
Traditionally, Nordic perspectives on HCI emphasise topics such as:
technology in use, integration of design and use, exploratory design
activities, and inter-disciplinary approaches to HCI. This tradition
originates in the Nordic openness to new approaches and divergent ideas =

Papers
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
NordiCHI 2002 invites innovative and exploratory papers meeting the =
highest
international standards. We welcome papers attempting to move the field
forward, promoting new techniques, methods, tools and theories. NordiCHI
aims to be multidisciplinary, combining and truly integrating the =
social,
the technical, the aesthetic, etc.
Papers describing original work on HCI related topics are solicited. =
Papers
should make clear the novel aspects of the work they present and their
contribution to the development of the theory and practice of the =
field(s).
Empirical studies of work should stress their relevance to design.
Applications papers should stress their contribution to concepts and
theories in HCI. Papers addressing novel techniques and technologies =
should
clearly identify the relevance and importance to HCI.
Full papers report original work, which has not been previously =
published.
The contribution should be made clear in the paper and in its abstract.
Papers making one clear, significant contribution are more likely to be
accepted than papers making several lesser contributions. The paper must
identify and cite published work relevant to the paper topic. It should
explain how the presented work has built on previous contributions, and
should indicate where and why novel approaches have been adopted.
NordiCHI 2002 is an international conference and contributions are =
welcomed
from all parts of the world. However, the official written and spoken
language of the conference is English.
All submissions will be reviewed by an international panel of HCI =
experts.
Submissions must be complete. Papers may be up to 10 pages formatted
according to the ACM template (as available at http://www.nordichi.org).
Submission should be made electronically in PDF format through the =
web-site.
Electronic submission deadline for papers: March 1, 2002.

Deadline for panel/session proposals: March 1, 2002.
Workshops
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Workshops offer an informal environment for focused group discussion =
around
work in progress or new areas of research and practice. NordiCHI 2002
invites workshop proposals in old and new topics related to HCI.
If you are interested in organising a full or half-day workshop, please
email a short proposal (up to 1000 words) to workshops@nordichi.org.
The proposal should detail:
- - Title and duration
- - Expected number, balance and selection of participants
- - Workshop theme and goals
- - Outcomes of the workshop
- - Relevance to the field
- - Intended audience
- - Description of activities planned
- - Needed facilities
- - Organisers' names and backgrounds
For further information, please contact the workshops chair
workshops@nordichi.org.
Deadline for workshop proposals: March 1, 2002.
Tutorials
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Tutorials offer a small number of participants the opportunity to learn
about specific concepts, methods and techniques from recognised experts.
Tutorials may be for half-day or full day sessions. NordiCHI 2002 =
invites
tutorials experimenting with new forms of instruction, innovative
perspectives and the use of new disciplines in a HCI context.
Proposals for full or half-day tutorials should detail
- - Title and duration
- - Intended audience
- - Theme and goals
- - Description of activities planned
- - Prior experiences and evaluations of the tutorial.

Deadline for tutorial proposals: March 1, 2002.
Short papers
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Short papers may address any of the areas identified in the conference
topics. Submissions should report original work which has not been
published previously. Authors are encouraged to demonstrate work in
progress and late-breaking research results that show the latest =
innovative
ideas.
Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations
should be included. Summaries of wider findings or reduced versions of
longer papers are not suitable for the short paper submission category.
A short paper is an ideal format for conveying industrial and practical
experience to the community. Accordingly, we invite experiences from
specific design cases, reports on how specific methods are applied and
modified in practice, etc. We also invite presentation of ongoing work =
and
preliminary results, by experienced academics as well as young =
researchers.
Short papers are presented by means of interactive posters during the
conference. NordiCHI 2002's emphasis on direct interaction and =
networking
makes this the general presentations format for design processes, =
products
and other experiences, organisational overviews, and late breaking =
results.
Within this basic form, we encourage experimentation e.g. posters =
evolving
as the audience interact with them.
All submissions will be reviewed by an international panel of HCI =
experts.
Submissions must be complete. Short papers may be up to 4 pages =
formatted
according to the ACM template (as available at http://www.nordichi.org).
Submission should be made electronically in PDF format through the =
web-site.
Electronic submission deadline for short papers: March 1, 2002 (late
breaking results: August 1, 2002).
Demos
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Demonstrations gives participants the possibility of showing and viewing
new, interesting, and novel ideas in human-computer interaction concepts
and technology.
Submitters of papers presenting interactive artefacts are particularly
encouraged to also submit a demonstration proposal. We also encourage =
the
presentation of novel commercial products.
A demonstration proposal is composed of three parts
- - A short description of the system, max 2 pages, conforming to the
NordiCHI 2002 short paper format. To be printed in the proceedings if
accepted.
- - A one page exhibition plan, describing how the working system is going =
to
be demonstrated at the conference, including spatial and other
requirements.
- - (Optionally) a video (VHS/PAL, S-VHS is not accepted), CD-ROM or DVD,
presenting the working system.
The short paper and the exhibition plan should be submitted via the
conference web site, whereas the (optional) video/CD/DVD should be
submitted by ordinary mail in two copies.
Submissions will be reviewed by the programme committee.
Please observe that the presenters must supply all equipment necessary =
for
the exhibition. Limited Internet access will be available.
The working system will be presented during the demo session at the
conference and the short description of the interactive artefact will be
published in the conference proceedings.
Submission deadline for demonstrations: March 1, 2002 (late breaking
results: August 1, 2002).
Aesthetic artefacts
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
NordiCHI 2002 introduces "aesthetic artefacts" as a new submission =
category
for experiments into how artistic expression and praxis affect =
perspectives
on interfaces, contexts and design.
The computer interface has developed from merely supporting work into a
broader cultural interface competing with and even replacing the book, =
the
gallery wall, the cinema screen, etc. Traditional functionalism fails in
relation to many new applications. At the same time, traditional
application areas may benefit from the inspiration from how digital =
forms
are articulated in artistic expression. Accordingly, digital arts =
challenge
the way we understand the computer, and the relation between form and
contents at the interface.
Examples of possible artefacts are (not limited to) interactive =
artworks,
computer games, interactive installations, netart, software art, =
artistic
interfaces, aesthetic experiments with HCI-related issues. An important
part of an aesthetic artefact submission is a short paper that =
thoroughly
reflects on CHI related issues affected by the artefact. Accepted =
aesthetic
artefacts will be exhibited at the conference in conjunction with the =
demo
session.
An aesthetic artefact submission is composed of three parts
- - A short paper, conforming to the NordiCHI 2002 short paper guidelines,
describing the artefact and reflecting on its contribution to the HCI
discourse.
- - An exhibition plan, describing how the artefact is going to exhibited,
including spatial requirements (one page).
- - (Optional) a representation of the artefact on video (VHS/PAL, S-VHS =
is
not accepted), CD-ROM or DVD.
The short paper and the exhibition plan should be submitted via the
conference web site, whereas the (optional) video/CD/DVD should be
submitted by ordinary mail in three copies.
Submissions will be reviewed by the programme committee supplemented by =
an
aesthetic artefacts special committee of artists and aesthetics =
scholars.
Aesthetic criteria as well as an assessment of contribution to the =
ongoing
understanding of human-computer interaction are taken into account.
Please observe that the presenters must supply all equipment necessary =
for
the exhibition. Limited Internet accesses will be available.
Please direct questions regarding aesthetic artefacts to =
art@nordichi.org.
Electronic submission deadline for aesthetic artefacts: March 1, 2002 =
(late
breaking results: August 1, 2002).

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Short papers, demonstrations and aesthetic artefacts, reporting late
breaking results may be submitted by august 1, 2002. Please note that =
late
submissions should be camera ready, and that notification of acceptance =
may
not be given before the deadline for early registration.
Proceedings
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Printed proceedings (ACM press) will be available at the conference to
ensure optimal interaction around the presented works.
The proceedings will be included in the ACM digital library to ensure
optimal distribution of the accepted papers.

Doctoral Colloquium (October 20, 2002)
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Graduate students within different areas of human-computer interaction =
are
invited to take part in the Doctoral Colloquium at NordiCHI 2002. This =
will
be the place where lively and useful discussions enable students to =
receive
suggestions about their on-going research and allow more experienced
participants to encounter some fresh ideas and view some of the new =
trends
in the field.
The Doctoral Colloquium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to
discuss their research both with other students and with leading experts
within the field. The colloquium will take the form of a workshop where
established HCI scholars take active part as discussants. The purpose is
for students to receive constructive feedback on their thesis work so =
far,
get advice about future developments, and share ideas and experiences =
with
students in related areas.
Participants should have advanced beyond the introductory stage in their
thesis work, and be actively engaged in the exploration of an HCI topic.
The research areas covered by the DC are the same as the NordiCHI
conference generally. Students may come from different academic subjects =
or
disciplines, such as interaction design, computer science, cognitive
science, and sociology.
To apply, please submit a proposal of at most 3 pages, including =
abstract
and references. Also, a short biographical note describing the =
applicant's
background should be enclosed. The proposal should include a description =
of
the research problem, the theoretical background and approach chosen, =
and
the work performed so far. The proposals will be evaluated by a review
committee. Approximately 8 participants will be selected to give a =
short
presentation of their research topic, followed by a discussion within =
the
group of students and experts.
Submissions should be sent by email to Kerstin Severinson Eklundh
(doctoral@nordichi.org), preferably in PDF format.
Deadline for applications: May 1, 2002.

Subject: Art Interface Device - announcement
Calling all artists, educators, engineers and copyleft interventionists:
The Art Interface Device (AID) is a microprocessor platform for building
electronic installation art. It is a device that allows artists to
process a variety of inputs and outputs for use in interactive
installation and performance artworks.
All are invited to attend the an information session about the Art
Interface Device on Thursday, January 24 2002 at 7 PM, EST. The meeting
will be held at InterAccess, which is located at 401 Richmond St. W,
Suite 444, Toronto, Canada. We are very interested in having remote
participants involved in this project. You can join our meeting via
the iVisit conferencing software. Get the set-up and timezone details at:
http://www.interaccess.org/aid/ivisit.html
The associated AID web site will serve as a library of "worked" solutions
to common electronic sensing, control and interfacing requirements. From
this site the AID user community can download and contribute instructions,
parts lists, circuit diagrams and other information relevant to the
creation of electronic art.
The AID system will be distributed under the General Public License and
developed by the AID user community - that means you!
This information session will present the AID concept, recruit people
interested in creating, developing, and using this tool, and initiate the
projects production cycle.
More detailed information is available at http://www.interaccess.org/aid/
AID is a project of InterAccess - electronic media arts centre, and is
funded by the Canada Council.

Another Apple, Another Politics
"Adam ate the apple
of the virgin Eve.
Newton was a second Adam
of Science.
The first knew
beauty.
The second a Pegasus
weighed down with chains.
And they were not to blame.
The two apples were
rosy
and new,
but bitter according to legend.
Both the embarrassed breasts
of the child innocence!"
Frederico Garcia Lorca
Scientists, political scientists, opinion leaders, chiefs
of great and small political sects, all have gathered
around Newton's fallen apple. All of them analyze,
discuss, corroborate. Hours, days, weeks, months, entire
years they take up. Finally they come to the
irrefutable conclusion: the apple has fallen because
the law of gravity so orders it. It is irremediable,
the apple must fall, and, by doing so, it has done
nothing other than to subject itself to the law of
gravity. The political scientists congratulate each
other and then begin great essays in order to show
Newton's apple as an example of 'real-politik.' The
chiefs of state talk of erecting a multiple monument
in all the palaces of Power.
But, among the persons gathered around the future
monument to modern politics, there is a strange person.
He seems to be a shadow, without face and without
name. If they ask him who he is, the shadow would
respond "zapatista," but no one asks him anything.
Everyone is very busy with their calculations, plans
and programs.
But, while the scientists are making complicated
calculations concerning velocity, trajectory, much
weight, acceleration, wind resistance, impact
and similar etceteras, and while the political
scientists are re-writing Machiavelli and
discussing prices with the modern princes,
the zapatista approaches the apple, he looks
at it, he smells it, he touches it, he
listens to it...
The zapatista understands what the apple
is whispering in his ear. He understands
the challenge demanded by its cry. The
apple says that fate does not order it to
fall to the ground, and, since it is a transgressor of
the law who is listening to it, it is about
breaking the law of gravity.
The apple is an apple, but it is, above all,
a lady. The zapatista is without face or name,
but he is, above all, a gentleman. And the
paper and pencil come out again, and the
apple explains and the zapatista feels and
agrees.
This apple that Newton has chained to the
ground has another destiny. The moon is an
apple. The scales of history need two apples
in order to be able to look out at the morning
clearly.
While managing to to work out the reverse
flight of Newton's apple, the zapatista looks
at the apple again, smells it, touches it, and,
what else, gives it a tender bite.
The political scientists continue repeating and
repeating to each other the 'real-politik,' and
the etceteras that already fill the magazines and
newspapers and the radio and television air time.
The zapatista continues making calculations.
To fall upwards, that is the mystery whose solution
has been proposed...

Organization for the past five years, where he has been directing a new
program which aims to understand and address faith-based opposition to free
trade. He holds an LL.D. from Stanford Law School, and he previously worked
for the AS Agency for International Development in Nepal and in Washington,
DC.
Percival Fress is a specialist in the relationship of
international trade to human health. He has been with the press office of

The World Economic Forum
Some very important people are missing from the headlines and the stories of
the world's most influential economic institutions like the
InternationalMonetary Fund, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the Free
Trade Area
of the Americas. The real players--corporate representatives--meet for the
World Economic Forum (WEF) this year in New York City with minimal remote
press access. Teach-ins and protests planned in New York City get to the
heart of corporate globalization and US economic power.
http://www.weforum.org
http://www.anotherworldispossible.com
The World Social Forum
Also missing from the headlines are the alternatives devised by grassroots
organizations and the world's non-elites. Set to happen at the same time as
the WEF is the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, a conference
exploring such alternatives to an increasingly standard corporate agenda.
http://www.forumsocialmundial.org.br/eng/index.asp
The Munich Conference on Security Policy
This annual meeting brings together the government officials and the
military of NATO and the EU. Much of the coalition behind the military
coalitions that brought us the wars in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Iraq are
forged in conferences like this security conference. The last few months
have seen military coalition involvement from Japan and Germany
unprecedented since WWII. European activists are planning to bring their
message held by most of the world: not to expand the "War on Terrorism" to
more countries.

RELIGION, PROTEST, AND HUNGER:
FREE TRADE SOLUTIONS AFTER SEPTEMBER 11
Thursday January 31 2002, 7:00 PM
at the Unitarian Church of Staten Island
A Very Special Evening with the
World Trade Organization*
Herri Baatasuna, LL.D.
Agriculture, International Relations, & Public Relations Counselor*
Percival Fress, M.D.
Agriculture, Pharmaceutics, & Public Relations Counselor*
The spectre of violent confrontation haunts Manhattan. New York's
Finest have been gearing up with special training and crowd-control
equipment in anticipation of anti-globalization protests near the Waldorf
Astoria, the site of this year's World Economic Forum, beginning this
Thursday, January 31.
Meanwhile, on the other side of New York Bay, a milder, more
civilized confrontration between the forces of globalization and their
opponents has been scheduled. No helmets, batons, mace, water cannons or
arrests - this battle will be fought with ideas amd humor.
The Unitarian Church of Staten Island has arranged for two
special speakers connected with the World Trade Organization,* who will hold
forth on the merits of globalization as a solution to world hunger, making
the case, with economic logic and visual aids, that "faith-based opposition
to free trade" is - well, misguided.
The speakers' main qualifications, and the foundation of their
connection with the WTO, is based on their membership in the internationally
renowned political prank and satire group, the Yes Men. As well as operating
the web site www.gatt.org, the Yes Men have delighted audiences across the
globe with their unique ability to explain visually the economic and
cultural essence of globalization, leading to recent coverage in Harpers and
Fortune and on CNBC Europe and National Public Radio.
Following the slide presentation by the speakers, a session of
questions and discussion from the audience will be moderated by Professor
Richard Currie of the College of Staten Island, Chairman of the Church's
Social Concerns Committee, which is sponsoring the event. The debate is
expected to be lively though civilized, and probably hilarious.
Admission is free. Coffee and sandwiches will be served in the
Parish Hall after the event (about 8:00 PM.)
This event kicks off in the Church's Publc Forum Series titled In
the Aftermath of 9/11. Future events will be held on Sundays at 1;00 PM
beginning February 10 and continuing through March. Future speakers include
Rev. Daniel Berrigan, Phyllis Bennis, Stanley Aronowitz, Norman Siegel, and
others.
Herri Baatasuna has served as a Yes Man and legal counsel to the
World Trade Organization* for the past five years, where he has been
directing a new program which aims to understand and address faith-based
opposition to free trade. He holds an LL.D. from Stanford Law School, and he
previously worked for the AS Agency for International Development in Nepal
and in Washington, DC.
Percival Fress is a specialist in the relationship of
international trade to human health. As a Yes Man, he has been with the
press office of the World Trade Organization* for the past three years,
fulfilling a mandate from the WTO* to address the relationships of social
needs to global trade. Dr. Fress has an M.D. from Columbia University, and
has held previous posts with Novartis, Cargill-Dow, and Monsanto.
* This representation of the "World Trade Organization" is a work of
political theatre and satire.

Seating limited to 200. Admission free. Please RSVP.
