Subject: Re:AIM III: Luna Park Symposium
*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTINGS ***
On April 19th and 20th, 2002, AIM III: Luna Park, in partnership with the
Museum of Contemporary Art, and the USC School of Fine Arts, is presenting
a series of critical inquiries into digital art practice and culture, the
trajectories of the idioms of "informatization" "globalization", and our
fascination with the spectacular. It comprises a symposium, online
exhibitions, and related exhibitions and events offering incisive responses
to contemporary notions of the cultural narratives and legacies of the
world's first modern amusement park , Luna Park, in relationship to the
advances of digital technologies and visual art / media practices.
This 2 day symposium brings together a divergent group of artists,
theorists, scholars and writers to posit responses, constructive
conversations, reflections and debate the various issues engendered by
contemporary visual art and media practices, the advance of digital
technologies, and
systems of entertainment. Internationally renown figures such as writer and
critic Mark Dery; artists Shu Lea Cheang; Jordan Crandall; scholar James
Derderian; artist collective, etoy; writers and scholars Marsha Kinder,
Peter Lunefeld; theorist Lawrence Rickels; and curator Lawrence Rinder
among numerous engaging panelists. The insights generated by Luna Park will
address framings of cultural consciousness, pleasure, artistic practice,
entertainment value, corporate culture, the militarization of the global
psyche, and critical inquiry within the processed realm of digital media
and technologies.
In the aftermath of the events of 9.11, numerous cultural, socio-economic
and political debates have been confounded and it seems as if only a
reminiscence of critical inquiry remains. Nonetheless, this symposium will
endeavor to bring to bear the pre-existing potential of unfettered inquiry
to these prescient issues.
The symposium includes panels on the museum's new "blockbuster" approach to
digital media exhibition, visualization and trauma, h/activism and gaming
culture. Queries will be posited such as: Is there a place for a viable
digital art/media practice in a world progressively dominated by an
economic logic of profit and loss? What is the role (s) of tactical media
and art in networking environments within this corporate and militarized
zone? What is the relationship of entertainment value and digital art/media
practice in creating imaginary layers of subjectivity mirrored in the
dynamics of a
post-industrial society?

Subject: April fAf: Choy Kok Kee in fAf's Gallery
fineArt forum = art + technology net news
http://www.fineartforum.org
MEDIA Release
For Immediate Release
Monday, 15 April 2002
Singapore's first IT artist on fineArt forum's gallery
fineArt forum's April gallery features Choy Kok Kee's work 'y2kvirus' and
'stressbox', both part of the 'T2000' collective. T2000 is a new generation
digital artwork based on the concept of stability and disturbance. The user
is encouraged to interact with the works, both endowed with a sense of
virtual intelligence which respond to changes in the environment when the
user enters into the threshold of the virtual space.
The Singapore Straits Times described Choy's 'T2000' as Singapore's first
"IT-art installation... dealing with the way that the individual controls
technology or perhaps the extent to which technology controls the
individual."
"The audience/user stimulates and destabilizes the environment from a
normal relaxed undulation to excited rapid palpitation. It is only when the
audience/user leaves that environment space it returns to its usual
tranquil undulating state, as if awaiting the next round of confrontation,"
says Choy, who studied at the renowned Lansdown Centre of Electronic Arts,
Middlesex University, London.
Choy's work was exhibited in the Interactive Media Art section for Nokia
Singapore Art 1999. He was also invited by the Infocomm Development
Authority Singapore to showcase at Efestival Asia 2000 and represent at the
Museum Festival 2001 - IT Innovation at the Parco. Choy's works date back
to 1974, when he first started his artistic endeavor and he has won
numerous art awards in the local and foreign arena.
"We are especially pleased to launch Choy's landmark work on fAf's gallery.
fAf constantly strives to spearhead new works on our site. His piece is a
prime example especially since this is a pioneer 'interactive' artpiece
developed for the web. Its not often, the user is given the opportunity to
interact and react with a piece," said fAf Editor-in-Chief Nisar Keshvani.
The April edition is a double bonus as it marks the launch of fAf's new
Arts Resources section - a guide to Art, Science, Technology online.
Developed by Queensland University of Technology student, Fabia Sugandy,
the section cuts across the depth of material currently available in the
new media art field.
"Through 2001, I scoured the World Wide Web, reading link after link, and
systematically developed a substantial resources section. Our aim was to
develop a one-stop section not for the professional, but a newcomer to the
field. Since it is geographically classified, the resource caters to a
broad audience especially," said Sugandy.
Adds Australian editor Linda Carroli: "fAf's Arts Resource focuses on
associated communities that have developed and evolved through the years.
It also attempts to be a platform for emerging new media communities who
are joining the online arts community for the first time."
In our text section this month - Anne Swartz profiles American artist Alan
Schechner whose work addresses the Holocaust. From Singapore's NAC, Susan
Loh reflects on a decade of nurturing the arts and Selma Stern returns with
more information about Droit de Suite, artist resale rights. In reviews,
Shu Min Heng is pleasantly surprised by Takahiko Iimura's interactive
CD-Rom AIUEONN Six Features, Scott Esdaile takes a walk through the woods
of Mez's The Net.Wurk Series:: _][ad][Dressed in a Skin C.ode_ and Mia
Thornton wanders through 'The Anne Show', the first presented at Brisbane's
Institute of Modern Art's new premises. Also, fAf has compiled a selection
of announcements, calls for action and cultural news from and about Palestine.
Launched in 1987, fAf is the pioneer online news service dedicated to the
provision of news and information for the global arts and technology
community. It aims to keep its readers informed of achievements,
developments and opportunities relevant to the new media arts community. It
can be viewed at http://www.fineartforum.org

.............................
You are reading the second issue of the Ars Electronica 2002 newsletter, focusing on a first statement by Gerfried Stocker on this year's Ars Electronica festival theme UNPLUGGED - Art as the Scene of Global Conflicts; and Prix Ars Electronica's jury meeting.
..............................
1. General Theme Ars Electronica 2002
UNPLUGGED - Art as the Scene of Global Conflicts
..............................
UNPLUGGED ... means the severed thread, fractured lines of development that had been thought to move only higher and higher, the abyss alongside the routes traveled by the caravans of progress ...
UNPLUGGED proceeds from the factuality of a globally networked world from which nobody can withdraw, no matter how distant they are from the dominant US-Europe-Japan capital triad and regardless of how far away the next electrical outlet might be. UNPLUGGED focuses on the blind spots of globalization, those barriers of a mental and geographic nature that make getting connected to and taking part in this process of global networking (the Net) and the cultural and social models it conveys impossible, illicit or even unwelcome.
UNPLUGGED thus also confronts our own inability to enter into a networked arrangement with 'the others' that goes beyond the exploitation and preservation of our own spheres of influence.
What began-in the simultaneity of glasnost and the WWW, the Soviet Union's collapse and the buildup of worldwide communication structures-as the utopia of the global village has been transformed into a bleak reality of unleashed capital in which cultural pluralism, if it has any role at all to play, then merely as a sort of ethno-business.
Globalization, now installed via the digital acceleration of financial transactions as the dominating principle of the world's sociopolitical fabric, is-in stark contrast to the myriad potentialities of the technologies it utilizes-not a practice based on openness and integration but rather on exclusiveness and exclusion.
The choice of topic for Ars Electronica 2002 is indicative of how the issue of the political element in art has returned with a vengeance to the agenda of intellectual discourse and artistic practice-a development that did not just begin to manifest itself as a reflex to 9/11 but was already emerging in conjunction with the protest movement in Seattle, Genoa and Porto Alegre, and is moving forward essentially on energy and input supplied by the computerkids generation.
The issue of art as the scene of global conflicts is a question of the viral power of art and its capability of coming up with alternative conceptual models, strategies and approaches. The concept of art as antithesis, as corrective and counterpoint to society, is also inseparably linked to the concept of radicalism and resistance, a concept that contemporary art has accompanied in many ways and endowed with identity, and, since the attack on the WTC, one that is being aggressively called into question and subjected to re-evaluation.
In 2002, the Ars Electronica Festival turns its attention to the conception of self of a young generation of media artists and their consciousness of the problems confronting them, and analyzes their positions on the sociopolitical, cultural and sociological implications of the technologies they work with.
A variety of formats-symposia, performances and exhibitions-will provide contexts to explore how the current global potential for social conflict is resonating in works of media culture and media art, and to consider aesthetic answers and exemplary projects of artistic practice that, in many instances, employ the same technologies as the economic power aggregates of globalization.
Perspectives obtained by looking out beyond one's own horizon are meant to intersect and interact with points of view held by "the others," and thereby make this festival for art, technology and society itself a setting for the complex dynamics of a global reorientation.
Gerfried Stocker

We don't choose to be born. Thrown into the world by the choice of =

towards death. The only meagre point that can be made for our individual =
being is that we pass on genes and mortality to our children in order to =
maintain the species. But the question as to why there is life to begin =
with and why there is a drive to perpetuate it, there would seem to be =
no adequate answer. The only thing we are acutely aware of is that we =
have to live and survive. This instinct is ingrained in nature. It has =
been the driving force of cultures from their earliest times. The search =
to understand our purpose is both the greatest stimulant to life, as =
well as the main cause of existential suffering. It is the engine of =
philosophy and science, the motive for the creation of art, the breeding =
ground for religion and the reason for the use of drugs and the urge to =
find solace in sex. The struggle for survival is especially problematic =
because we have to deal with numberless perils and difficulties, while =
we don't know where to go and what the meaning of it all is. From =
Aristotle to Schopenhauer, philosophy had taught us that the prudent man =
would strive for freedom from pain and not for pleasure. He would direct =
his aim not to what is pleasant and agreeable, but to the avoidance, as =
far as possible, of life's countless evils. Nietzsche however indicated =
that fulfilment can't be attained by avoiding pain, but only by =
recognizing the role of suffering as an essential and inevitable step on =
the way to reaching anything good. In order to suffer the hardships of =
life, it would help to realize that pleasure and displeasure are =
intrinsically linked together, so that if we want to have much of one, =
we must have as much of the other. Only by endurance of whatever we =
cannot avoid, will we reach fulfilment and enjoy life.

Subject: Simon Biggs--only NYC appearance!!
Please distribute...
Thundergulch the new media arts initiative of the Lower Manhattan
Cultural Council (LMCC) is proud to present:
New Media Artist Simona Biggs (UK)
Monday, April 22, 2002, 6:00 pm --- FREE
66 Fifth Avenue, Parsons Auditorium, New School University, between 12th
and 13th Streets.
Over the past two decades Simon Biggs has obsessively explored issues
around language, legibility, and the limits of meaning;
social structures, networks and systems of power as artifacts to be
navigated, deconstructed and re-valued. At his only
New York City public appearance, Biggs will guide his audience through a
compelling body of work: from "Babel," his 3D representation
of the Dewey Decimal System used to navigate the World Wide Web, to "The
Great Wall of China," an online interactive
language-generating machine based on Franz Kafka's story of the same
title. Biggs will also show and discuss work from
"Parallex," his latest interactive environment co-created with
choreographer Sue Hawksley. More information about Simon
Bigg's work can also be found at http://www.littlepig.org.uk

Subject: Announcing The Exchange Program and The Essential Guide to Performing Michael Mandiberg
Beginning April 20th, 2002, eight collaborators will switch places
and props - essentially, switch lives - for ten days, and 'play' each
other. The collaborators will each create instructions on how to "be"
or "perform" themselves, turning personality into character, and
foregrounding the performativity of daily life. This project was
conceived and organized by Michael Mandiberg in collaboration with
the participants; the following eight artists will be realizing this
collaborative project in Los Angeles, and Toronto: Heather Cassils,
Lauren Hartman, Sara Jordeno, Curt Lemeiux, Michael Mandiberg,
Melanie Nakaue, Amy Satterthwaite, and Haruko Tanaka.
The participants will go into this exchange with a group suspension
of disbelief, occupying the other person's name, space, friends,
family, jobs, and possessions, and letting go of their own. The goal
of the project is to create a space of experiment and adventure for
those who interact with us and thus with our replacements. Rather
than approaching the project aiming to achieve a specific controlled
goal ("to achieve slippages where we pass for each other," "to create
repeated moments of rupture, where it is clear that this is a
performance, even a charade," "to make people aware of their own
gender, or racial performativity," etc.) the participants will
approach the performance as an improvisation where many things will
happen - probably different from what might be predicted, but no less
exciting or productive.
To facilitate these exchanges, each person has created a set of
information or instructions for the person replacing them; some of
these will be available on the website. Each participant will be
documenting their experience, and the collected documentation will be
available on the website http://ExchangeProgram.org, and on an
interactive DVD which will be released in July.
***
In conjunction with The Exchange Program, Michael Mandiberg announces
the launch of The Essential Guide to Performing Michael Mandiberg.
(http://turbulence.org/Works/guide) Part users manual, part
experimental self-portraiture, The Essential Guide to Performing
Michael Mandiberg is an on-line tutorial to teach his collaborator
the details of performing his persona. The Essential Guide to
Performing Michael Mandiberg inserts biographical information into
the structure of a user manual, turning personality into procedures,
situations, and props. Well illustrated with photographs and
diagrams, the guide moves from the early skill building chapters
Character Traits and Social Behavior, to the important Friends
chapters, and on through functional Physical Presentation.
The Essential Guide to Performing Michael Mandiberg is a 2002
commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence
web site. It was made possible with funding from the Jerome
Foundation.
