Subject: Version>02 Digital Arts Convergence : A tour through the Digital Commons (Chicago, April 18-20 2002)

Version>02
April 18-20, 2002
Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago Ilinois, USA
 http://www.versionfest.org (temp weblog - please go there and participate
online)

For the first iteration of this event new media producers, artists,
musicians, filmmakers, programmers, tactical media provocateurs, designers,
information architects, and critical thinkers are asked to comment on the
state of the digital commons.

The digital commons is a metaphor for the public space that we use to
communicate and distribute ideas, where we share tools and resources, and
influences. It is a place for commerce, art and the transmission of
knowledge.

The digital commons requires dialogue about intellectual property, the
balance between civil liberties and security, freedom of speech and privacy,
issues of access, and the implications of tool use. Some herald the internet
and the global communications infrastructure as a protected space that
allows creativity and innovation to flourish. Others argue that that our
civil liberties are at risk and we are entering a society more perfectly
monitored and filtered than any in history. Version>02 focuses on the issues
that are defining this debate.

Version>02 is a tour through "the digital commons" and offers an opportunity
to meet those who tend to the gardens, fences, and pathways, and to
investigate the threats and opportunities that the digital commons face. The
MCA Theater offers three days of musical performances, films, and a series
of panel discussions. The Version Lab, adjacent to the theater, provides
gallery space for artists and performers, and The Lobby is transformed into
an informational space for web installations and demonstrations by some of
the best in the emergent digital arts cultures.

A DVD, a Version>02 issue of Select Magazine and an online web gallery are
being produced to accompany the event.

Version>02 The digital arts and technology convergence is presented by the
Museum of Contemporary Art, Select Media, and OVT.

HYBRID DISCOURSE.  
Art for Commerce / Commerce for Art

PAUL D.MILLER / ®ark / SODA
Chair: Mike Phillips, i-DAT

18th March 02 / WEBCAST 6 - 8.30pm British Time

www.i-dat.org/projects/hybrid

Hybrid-Discourse is a series of events investigating current cultural
debates in the context of digital media. Focusing on key issues such as
relations between art and industry, emerging
cultural, commercial and hybrid practices as well as new models of
institutional practices this program seeks to re-address critical terms of
Adorno and Horkheimer's original concept of the culture industry in a
current context.

The third session in the series, Art for Commerce/Commerce for Art,
investigates relationship between cultural and commercial practices and
hosts Paul D. Miller, ®ark and SODA.

®ark, an anti-corporate corporation, operates globally and supports
activist projects by providing publicity, information, and finances
(www.rtmark.com). 
In this session ®ark will discuss Tactical Embarassment and other methods
for using public opinion as a weapon against corporate abuse of power.

SODA combines an arts and research practice with a broad range of commercial
activities. This eclectic mix is united by the creative culture of
excellence and innovation that has permeated Soda since its inception in
1996. Soda has worked within both a commercial and cultural context,
developing a range of projects for clients, curators and internal / external
outcomes.
Referring to Gregor Schneider¹s phrase Œthe highest form of thinking is
doing¹, this presentation will examine the relationship of Soda's work and
outcomes to a broader cultural context which is shaping the cultural
industry (www.soda.co.uk).

PAUL D.MILLER'S work as an artist has appeared in a wide variety of contexts
such as the Whitney Biennial, The Venice Biennial for Architecture and the
Ludwig Museum among others. Miller is most well known under the moniker of
his Œconstructed persona¹ as ŒDj Spooky that Subliminal Kid¹, a character
from his upcoming novel Flow My Blood the Dj Said, that uses a wide variety
of digitally created music as a form of post-modern sculpture
(www.djspooky.com).
Sound Unbound will be a "live" multi-media presentation of the history of
digital art and media from the viewpoint of an artist who uses Œfound
objects¹ like a dj - i.e. it's a subjective selection where old video
material will be remixed and combined with new. History itself will be the
material for the mix, and the lecture presentation will focus on how dj
culture has evolved out of the same technologies that are used for digital
media and art.


Place: Sherwell Centre / University of Plymouth / Plymouth / UK
Info and to join ON-LINE DISCUSSION: www.i-dat.org/projects/hybrid

Hybrid Discourse is organised by Anya Lewin and Joasia Krysa with support
from the Institute of Digital Art and Technology (i-DAT), Dartington College
of Arts, World of Work, Mute, and the European Social Fund.

* NGOs find aid packages to be mere scraps
- --Developing world not asking for charity

Monterrey, MARCH 15, 2002 (CIMAC)-Social organizations
at the Global Forum: Financing for the Right to
Sustainable and Equitable Development, criticized the
aid offered by President George W. Bush, which they
refer to as crumbs for development.

Alejandro Villamar, Mexican Steering Committee
spokesperson, explained that for each dollar rich
countries send as aid, developing countries have to
send back six dollars as payment of foreign debt.

They also referred to the aid package that the
governments of Europe agreed on, which is to raise the
percentage of Official Aid for Development (OAD) to
.3% by 2006, as scraps.  Currently the amount
designated for OAD doesn’t reach past .2% of Gross
National Products.

Roberto Bissio, of the Third World Institute,
explained that 5 million dollars is only 5% of the one
billion the UN has declared necessary to guarantee an
elementary education for every person in the world, as
well as basic health services, reducing maternal
mortality rates, among other goals set at the
Millenium Summit that took place in New York,
September of 2000.

Meanwhile, the union of the NGOs of Spain expressed
their approval of the unilateral decision made by the
governments of Europe to raise the percentage of OAD
by 2006.  As their spokesperson, Alfonso Sancho, said,
this decision was made at the European Summit that is
being held in Barcelona, Spain.

For citizen’s organizations of European countries,
this, “last minute decision” is the recognition by the
richest countries in the world that the FfD document
lacks concrete obligations to reach the objectives of
the Millenium Summit.  Among which is, reducing in
half by the year 2015 the number of people who live in
poverty.

However, they found these actions to be insufficient
to obtain a consensus between the countries of the
north and the south that looks towards an agenda that
favors equitable and sustainable development.

Alfonso Sancho, pointed out that the citizens
organizations of the world are not asking for charity
on the part of developed countries, but for actions
that come from recognizing that the actual financial
system is designed to keep developing countries
structurally dependant.

It’s important to remember that the richest countries,
grouped as the G-7 are the ones who make decisions
regarding the economic system of the world, and in
multilateral financial institutions like the
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

According to the UN, of the 4.6 thousand million
people that live in the developing world, 826 million
lack food, 850 million are illiterate, and almost a
sixth of humanity go without systems of drinkable
water.
- -------------------------------------

* Global Forum of the FfD
Foreign debt, a cross to bear for the people of the
world: NGO
- --Latin America owes 737 billion dollars to financial
institutions

Monterrey, MAR 15, 00 (CIMAC)- Foreign debt is the
burden of the people, and the only lasting solution to
this problem is the complete debt cancellation, said
Demba Moussa, member of the Worldwide Counsel of
Churches, who stated that a proposal regarding the
elimination of external debt should be included in the
final document of the Global Forum: Financing for the
Right to Sustainable and Equitable Development.

According to the Economic Commission for Latin America
(CEPAL), in the last year, the foreign debt of Latin
America has reached 737 billion dollars, this is
immoral and intolerable said Mexican ex-deputy
Ifigenia Marinez.

In a document sent to the Global Forum, that ended
this morning, at the historical Steel Mill of
Monterrey, Ifigenia Martinez, of the Revolutionary
Democratic Party (PRD), said that the politics of
foreign debt payment are incompatible with
development.

 Cuban expert Marlen Sanchez, agreed, stating that the
debt of Latin America is unpayable, what’s more, Peter
Lance, spokesperson of the Jubilee 2000 Campaign,
announced that new goals regarding foreign debt that
take into account human rights are necessary, so that
poor countries have social and economic development
opportunities.

Representatives of civil society are in agreement that
foreign debt is illegitimate and is used to dominate
and exploit developing countries.  The debt, if
continued, will only serve to make people poorer.

They believe that the problem of debt is more
political than economic and remains a burden of the
poor.

“Whether or not we like the final document of the
International Conference of Financing for Development,
NGOs will continue the fight for the elimination of
external debt”, said Moussa, a religious
representative of Senegal.

- -------------------

* Foreign factories in Mexico at risk
- --Wages are even lower in Central America

MONTERREY, MAR 15, 2002 (CIMAC).  Mexico has been
converted into a maquiladora country (an assembly line
for foreign industry), with the risk that
transnational companies will use the country as a
jumping off point for moving into other regions where
the cost of production is even less.

This was the consensus of a group of specialists in
the Foreign Direct Investment and Trade tent at a
round table discussion regarding the maquiladoras
during the Global Forum of Financing for the Right to
Sustainable and Equitable Development.

Due to the economic decline of the United States, the
Maquiladora Industry in Mexico has gone from second to
third place as the source of foreign income as of last
year.  Resulting in the dismissal of 250 thousand
workers out of the more than one million employed.

Victor Acuna, of the Mexican Action Network on Free
Trade, held that even with the low salaries that
Mexico pays it’s workers, it’s still at disadvantage
to Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, or El Salvador,
all countries that can provide cheaper labor.

Veronica Leyva, participant in the round table
discussion, gave her testimony as a laid off
maqiladora worker from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, one
of the countries major maquiladora areas.

In Ciudad Juarez, where nearly 300 workers have been
murdered in the last few years, there are 360
factories in this sector, employing 250 thousand
people, over 50 percent of whom are women and 60
percent of those whom are single mothers.

Even though the average age of workers in the
maquiladoras in Ciudad Juarez is twenty two years old,
this sector also employs boys and girls starting as
young as thirteen or fourteen, whose child labor
rights are violated as they work full shifts and
nights.

Violation of the workers rights is common,
particularly toward women, who will not be hired if
pregnant.  Leyva held that the industry leaders of the
area recently signed an agreement with the Canacintra
The Camera Nacional de la industria y transformacion
that unites them on a national level, together they
will compile a black list, (under the pretext of
creating an employment service) workers names that
have been labeled as  “troublemakers or agitators “
for defending their rights.  

There was also a list made of lawyers who have
defended workers whose labor rights have been violated
at the hands of their employers.

Another detrimental effect maquiladoras have on their
surrounding communities is the release of highly toxic
and carcinogenic substances as the North American Free
Trade Agreement does not require that this toxic waste
be returned to the United States.

- -----------------

* Creating a just global governance 
Improve quality of life not discover new markets

 Monterrey, Mar. 15, 2002 (CIMAC)—Governments are at
the service of civil society, not above civil society,
stressed Estela Escandola, of the Multilateral Network
of Brazil, in a conference on the new global, national
and local governance during the Global Forum this
morning. 

Escandola started with a set of questions on how to
build global governance, first, should a global
government be at the service of governments or of the
people? Today, when governments plan development
assistance, they do it with the idea that it will
create new markets, not because they want people to
improve their life conditions, she regretted. 

She then added that if global governance happens, it
shouldn’t be at the expense of local differences.
Differences enrich rather than impoverish and
conformity is harmful, she added. For example, when
the Inter-American Development Bank finances projects
of development through tourism, they always build the
same kind of hotels. As a consequence, tourists get
tired and never come back, only leaving behind
prostitution and child labor.

 The second question to raise is how to create this
global governance, Escandola said. Today, only federal
executive powers are involved in this process, leaving
aside legislative and judicial powers, as well as
local representatives and civil society, she
regretted. 

Thirdly, Escandola invited her audience to wonder to
whom the rules should apply. Referring to the US war
against Afghanistan, she said that once more, the US
broke the rules they contributed to define in the
context of United Nations, but that small countries
are forced to obey these rules. 

Escandola then stated the ways to reach a fair global
governance. First, civil society should strengthen
their local nations, because it’s at the local level
that people and NGOs can have an influence. Then,
civil society should work on the international
financial institutions, but from the base. Finally,
she stressed the importance of mutual respect among
NGOs and of avoiding perpetuating the same paternalist
attitude international financial institutions show
toward poor countries. 
- ---------------------------
* Representatives express disappointment with
Monterrey Consensus
- --NGOs proposals not taken into account

Monterrey, Mar. 14, 2002 (CIMAC)—NGOs representatives
invited to evaluate the chapter on systemic issues of
the Monterrey Consensus during the Global Forum this
afternoon, expressed their concern about the documents
lack of firm language on many issues NGOs consider
important. 

Even though for the first time ever NGOs were invited
to make proposals during the preparation of the
Monterrey Consensus, their proposals have hardly been
taken into account in the final document, said Gemma
Adaba, UN representative of the International
Confederation of Free Trade Unions.

 The question is not so much what NGOs have to
propose, but how they manage to push their proposals
forward, she added. Among these proposals were the
need for an effective tax system at the national
level, because poor countries do not necessarily lack
resources, but they lack a process of redistribution
of these resources, said Adaba. 

Another important recommendation pushed forward by
NGOs that was almost dropped in the final document is
the implementation of the commitment by industrialized
countries to dedicate 0.7 percent of their GDP to
assist the poorest countries, said Adaba. She also
expressed her disappointment regarding the weakness of
the language used in the consensus when referring to
human rights and workers´ rights.

 Martha Arias, political advisor at Oxfam, stressed
that two other proposals left out of the consensus
were: mentioning the need to analyze the impact on
development of the liberalization of capitals, as well
as the necessity to realize an external and
independent evaluation of international financial
institutions work. 

Both speakers regretted that the only part of the
document where strong language is used is in reference
to fighting financing for terrorism, whereas,
according to Adaba, the document reveals no such sense
of urgency concerning issues such as the crisis in
Argentina or the HIV-AIDS pandemic. Despite these
limitations, both Adaba and Arias said they won’t
reject the consensus, but rather accept it while
making public their disappointment and stressing that
they’re staying engaged. 
- -------------------------------


* Dialogue between financial institutions and NGOs
difficult
- --World Bank claims goals are the same

Monterrey, Mar. 15, 2002 (CIMAC)— Members of NGOs
participating in the Global Forum debated with
international financial institutions` representatives
around the chapter on systemic issues of the Monterrey
Consensus this afternoon, in what both later regarded
as a
constructive effort.

The difficulty of establishing a dialog between
international financial institutions and NGOs lies in
their different ideological premises, said Frank
Schroeder, of the Ebert Foundation. While NGOs
consider
development efforts should find ways of redistributing
the
fruits of economic growth, financial institutions
appear
to be market fundamentalists.

While rejecting this label, Prakash Loungani, of the
International Monetary Fund, stressed that
international
financial institutions exist precisely in order to
help
correct the market’s failures.

Aldo Cagliari, of the Center of Concern, expressed his
concern about the lack of language on human rights in
the
part relative to systemic issues of the consensus.
However, human rights are mentioned at the beginning
of
the document, stressed Barry Herman of the United
Nations
Secretariat, and if they are not mentioned in the rest
of
the document, it might be that NGOs didn’t lobby
effectively.

The Monterrey conference was celebrated as the first
North-
South summit in the last 25 years by Herman who
expressed
his optimism about NGOs` participation in the
conference’s
process. The UN is offering a forum to try to resolve
disputes, he added.

Herman`s optimism was not shared by Paul Tennassee, of
the
Confederation of Workers, who denounced policies like
the
5-billion-dollar promise to aid for development
President
George W. Bush made yesterday, because poor countries
have
given much more than this amount to rich countries in
interests on the debt, he said.

Despite cases like the crisis in Argentina, Tennassee
added, the IMF and the World Bank continue to make
mistakes. Lungangi from the IMF recognized that his
institution
makes mistakes, and said it tries to learn from them.

When a member of the audience accused the World Bank
of
impoverishing developing countries´ peoples, Jaime
Bilderman 
of the World Bank said he didn’t accept this
accusation and
expressed that his institution is committed to
reducing
poverty, recognizing that NGOs and international
financial
institutions may have different methods, but they
share
the same objective.

Mexican Representative Leticia Burgos, who took part
in
the debate at the last minute, stressed the need for
more
parliamentary representation in the United Nations
system,
while Representative Maria Elena Chapa expressed the
need to give a gender perspective to the issue of
development.

- -------------------------

* Women participating in the Global Forum reject the
neoliberal model, war culture, and all forms of
violence against women

March, 2002 (CIMAC)-Women participating in the Global
Forum:  Financing the Right to Sustainable and
Equitable Development, rejected the neoliberal model,
the war culture and all forms of violence against
women, and demanded the total eradication of  foreign
debt for highly indebted countries.

On the first day of work at the NGOs Forum preceding
the International Conference: Financing for
Development (FfD) women proposed putting forth an
agenda for a just peace in the world, a non monolithic
worldwide political organization given a say in
economics and that enjoys equal representation and a
participatory democracy among the worlds countries.

In the text of the Women’s Declaration the activists
recommended the establishment of a tax on foreign
financial transactions the percentage of which is
raised in times of crisis to avoid capital flight,
specifically speculative capital, that also provides a
a way of regulating the flows of international
capital.

They also asked for a raise in the resources for
Official Aid for Development and the elimination of
conditional clauses.  As well as fulfilling in the
agreement that developed countries destine 0.7 of
their Gross National Product to the OAD.

They also demanded eliminating conditional clauses in
structural adjustment programs promoted by the World
Bank, the Internation Monetary Fund, and international
banks.

As for foreign debt, they recommended a re-examination
of current criteria and the adoption of a human
development focus. All of this in order to measure
sustainability which they believe should not be gauged
in accordance with what a country can pay or in
accordance with the agreement previously acquired, but
in accordance with its needs to reach sustainable and
equitable gender human development.

They also demanded the establishment of a transparent
system of arbitration on external debt with a
democratic process in the decision making because as
it stands lending countries carry enormous weight in
deciding which countries can go into the renegotiating
process like the Initiative of condemnation of highly
indebted countries.

The activists pleaded for the democratization of
decision making processes within international
financial institutions so that of free trade and
investments respect the sovereignty of various peoples
and that they comply with the objectives of
development from the Millenium Meeting.

The women stated that the United Nations must take on
a leading role in economic and social development
through the fulfillment of the UN final document the
“Consensus of Monterrey” so that the World Bank and
the International Monetary Fund’s actions and accounts
are submitted for review to the Social and Economic
Counsel and are in compliance with international human
rights regulations.

everything and nothing
part 1 from the continuous tape, ‘untitled’
Jayce Salloum, 40:40, orig format MiniDV, France/Canada, 2001

An intimate dialogue that weaves back and forth between representations of a 
figure (of resistance) and subject, with Soha Bechara* ex-Lebanese National 
Resistance fighter in her Paris dorm room after release from captivity in 
El-Khiam torture and interrogation centre (S. Lebanon) where she had been 
detained for 10 years, 6 years in isolation. Revising notions of resistance, 
discussing the recounting to death of her account, the nature of survival, 
will, separation, distance and closeness, the overexposed image and body of a 
surviving martyr speaks quietly and directly into the camera juxtaposed 
against her self and image, not speaking of the torture but of the distance 
between the subject and the loss, of what is left behind and what remains.

*Soha Bechara is a heroine in Lebanon, pictures of her are seen in many 
houses in the South and posters of her were seen all around downtown Beirut 
when I was working there in the early 90’s.  She was captured for trying to 
assassinate the general of the SLA (Israel's proxy army), Antoine Lahad. This 
video material that I recorded of the time spent with her is not precious, 
just time, and a conversation, and intense intimacy at a close and 
unbreachable distance.
