Description. "Expand the Network." This heavily graphic issue is,
typically, built around multiple parallel series of visual works, an array
of conceptual threads woven together. Further, the issue has several
featured series, one being a sequence of xerographic collages with text
entitled "Things" by Stephen-Paul Martin; another, a one-per-page list of
Jenny Holzer-inspired slogans by Luke McGuff running under the issue,
appearing in each and every footer. Other remarkable graphic works are
supplied by John Stickney, whose work has been coming into its own in
recent issues (retrospectively speaking), and painter John Rininger,
always able, it seems, of offering something of note; and David Tiffen's
pair of images, seeming vaguely Situationist-inspired to today's eyes.
Pandora's Mailbox also supplies a series of works, a small booklet run in
unabridged sequence and offered up among the other works on these pages.
Italian artist Serse Luigetti continues offering his rectilinear "stamp
collection"-like pages of themed graphics, and mailartist Dazar also
delivers a pithy series of small graphics, seen here for the first time in
their original colors.
Contributors include. Scott Dohring, Ll. Dunn, Luke McGuff, Tom Hibbard,
Pandora's Mailbox, John Stickney, Geof Huth, Mark Pawson, Pascal Uni,
Serse Luigetti, David Tiffen, Thomas Wiloch, John Kelly, Eric Belgum,
Joseph A. Uphoff, Jr., Gareth Branwyn, Christopher Erin, Stephen-Paul
Martin, Crag Hill, Dazar, Miekal And, Mark Rose, Brad Goins, Paul Weinman,

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as an
electronic repository for a complete collection of PhotoStatic Magazine,
PhonoStatic Cassettes, Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related
titles). Issues are posted as PDF files, at more or less regular
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a chronological mirror
image of the original series. When the first issue, dating from 1983, is
finally posted in several year's time, then this electronic archive will
be complete.

Some thoughts for 2003... a list of Nerd_Box_Art links.
Mostly 2001 and 2002. Research for several essays I will probably
never find time to write. Things I think people should check out.
It is storming here in L.A. Lights keep flickering (I love laptop
battery power.) No rain (never rain) just wind to knock down trees
on power lines. And blow away the smog for the morning.

Cyberactivism
Online Activism in Theory and Practice
Routledge Press, New York, NY
Edited by Martha McCaughey and Michael D. Ayers
Cyberactivism is a timely collection of ssays examining the growing
importance of online activism. The contributors show how online activists
have not only incorporated recent technology as a tool for change, but also
how they have changed the meaning of activism, what community means, and how
they conceive of collective identity and democratic change. Topics addressed
range from the Zapatista movement's use of the web to promote their cause
globally to the establishment of alternative media sources like
indymedia.org to the direct action of "hacktivists" who disrupt commercial
computer networks. Cyberactivism is essential reading for anyone interested
in understanding the impact of the Internet on politics today.

Subject: the >wartime< project online launch
hi nettime-l people
as the American administration, in the space of 24 hours,
committs a further 62,000 military to an attack on Iraq, the
online edition of the >wartime< project is now open at
http://offline.area3.net/wartime
in the >wartime< project over fifty digital and network artists,
individuals or groups across this planet, organizing through
the internet, have contributed pieces reflecting on and
reacting against wars, past, present and future. A further fifty
or so artists are currently registered to contribute to the
project in the future.
the project is also designed to be capable of being shown
LIVE in public and a calendar of these events is on the site.
we hope that the reach and diversity of approach, materials,
sentiments and location in the component parts of our project
demonstrates that we will not be dragged into war without
reaction, without questioning, and that we have the will and
capacity to defy the borders and barriers erected between
people by war makers.
current UK and US forces already surrounding or heading for
Iraq now number over 160,000. Probably the concentration in
quantity and expense of the weaponry and its destructive
potential which has been assembled facing Iraq has never
been matched before. Heavy casualties for civilian and military
are very possible if the cities of Iraq are to be entered and
attacked. This and the possibility of war wider in the Middle
East and further can threaten our environment and lives
nearly everywhere on this planet.
If we are responsible to ourselves and to others we should
consider making what contribution we can to halting this
descent into destruction, working in our own areas and with
our own particular skills, as we are attempting to do with the
>wartime< project, and with initiatives such as
http://artcontext.org/antiWar/index.php, and by joining wider
activities such as the US wide anti-war day on January 18th
and the planned anti-war marchs across Europe on Febuary
15th.

Subject: Oliver Grau: VIRTUAL ART, new at MIT Press
VIRTUAL ART
From Illusion to Immersion
by Oliver Grau
A Leonardo Book published by MIT Press
(January 2003, ISBN 0-262-07241-6, 7 x 9, 360 pp., 89 illus)
"Equally at home in art history, media history, and new media art, Grau
situates immersive image spaces of new media within a rich historical
landscape. A must-read for anyone interested in new media, visual culture,
art history, cinema, and all other fields that use virtual images."
(Lev Manovich, author of The Language of New Media)
"The highly ambitious task of locating the latest image technologies within
a wider art-historical context has now been accomplished."
(Friedrich Kittler, author of Gramophone, Film, Typewriter)
Content: Going beyond technical and ahistorical views of media art, Oliver
Grau analyzes what is really new in media art by focusing on recent work
against the backdrop of historic developments. Although many people view
virtual and mixed realities - images of art and science - as a totally new
phenomenon, it has its foundations in an unrecognized history of immersive
images. The search for illusionary visual space can be traced back to
antiquity. Oliver Grau shows how virtual art fits into the art history of
illusion and immersion and shows how each epoch used the technical means
available to produce maximum illusion from Pompeiis Villa dei Misteri via
baroque frescoes, panoramas, immersive cinema to the CAVE. He describes the
metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image and relates those
concepts to interactive art, interface design, telepresence, biogenetic art
and image evolution. Grau retells art history as media history, helping us
to understand the phenomenon of immersion beyond the hype.
Grau also examines those characteristics of virtual art that distinguish it
from earlier forms of illusionary art and thus shows us what is really new
in media art. His analysis draws on the work of contemporary artists and
groups like ART+COM, Maurice Benayoun, Charlotte Davies, Monika
Fleischmann, Ken Goldberg, Agnes Hegedues, Eduardo Kac, Knowbotic Research,
Laurent Mignonneau, Michael Naimark, Simon Penny, Daniela Plewe, Paul
Sermon, Jeffrey Shaw, Karl Sims, Christa Sommerer, and Wolfgang Strauss.
Grau offers not just a history of illusionary space but also a theoretical
framework for analyzing its phenomenologies, functions, and strategies
throughout history and into the future.
Quotes from the field:
"Grau's Virtual Art opens the door onto a significant new approach to media
analysis by focusing in depth on a particular kind of digital art--the
attempt to create immersive environments. The combination of media
archeology and careful analysis of both the possibilities and limitations
of the impulse to put the viewer inside the artwork will make this book a
valuable resource to both practitioners and theoreticians."
(Stephen Wilson, Professor of Conceptual and Information Arts, San
Francisco State University, and author of Information Arts)
"Oliver Grau expands notions of immersion with a comprehensive overview of
artistic meditations on illusion, presence and space. Using historical and
innovative media-art project examples, he offers multiple perspectives on
the evolution of our world-view. No doubt this volume will be a useful
resource for any serious practitioner and/or theorist engaging the merging
of art, science and technology."
(Victoria Vesna, Chair, Design and Media Arts, University of California,
Los Angeles)
Quotes from the Press
"A key book -- Oliver Grau's art historical study taps into the new virtual
image spaces." (Frankfurter Allgemeine)
"The scope ranges far beyond analogue and digital image techniques; this is
more than a piece of media archaeology." (MEDIENwissenschaft)
"Grau's analysis enriches the current debate on media art and virtual
worlds by providing an historical perspective." (Der Tagesspiegel)
"The parallels revealed are astounding." (Sueddeutsche Zeitung)
Oliver Grau is a new-media art historian and lectures at the Department of
Art History, Humboldt University in Berlin. He is a visiting professor at
the Kunstuniversity Linz and is head of the German Science Foundation
project on Immersive Art in Berlin, also he is developing the first
international data base resource for virtual art. He published widely on
VR-art and lectured in Europe, Japan, Brasil and the US. Oliver Grau is an
elected member of the Young Academy of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of
Sciences (BBAW) and the Leopoldina. His research focuses on the history of
illusion and immersion in media and art, the history of the idea and
culture of telepresence and telecommunication, genetic art, and artificial
intelligence.

Subject: Squall update | for announcements ?
I thought this might be suitable for 'announcements'. They often have some
interesting and (unusually, for an activist-type site) well-researched
investigative pieces.
Cheers, SER.
_____________________________________________________________________
A revolutionary new year to all SQUALL readers....
There's been plenty new material on the SQUALL site of late......including
the first of three extracts from the new book by alt comedy original, Tony
Allen, and another SQUALL exclusive from inside the turmoil in
Venezuela.....plus more investigative material on big business shennanigans
in the UK.......
There's also an unfolding photographic exploration of graffiti in Bristol in
South West England. If ever there was any doubt of the aesthetic social
contribution of good graffiti...this should dispel it. There's heaps of pics
up already and a new one will appear every day of Jan......
Also it would be good to hear from some of yer a bit more often......what
d'you reckon on it all......the letters page is yours to populate...
respects,

Subject: on medical science and its loyalties
Hi all,
After two and a half years of work a new issue of my web magazine The
Art Bin is up online at last. Many people surmised it had been
discontinued.
But the delay is due to my illness, fibromyalgia, with chronic
fatigue and muscle pain, probably caused by mercury poisoning from
dental amalgam.
I got the idea to devote an issue of my web magazine to this topic,
the so-called new diagnoses, such health problems that are not
considered quite appropriate, health problems that sometimes are not
recognized by doctors and subject to dispute among scientists. The
epistemological and political matter, how one should relate to
possible but yet not proven hazards, is a cardinal problem here.
My own two articles grew out to be almost book size, so I decided to
make PDF files of them as well, a total of 131 pages:
** "A life redirected"
This is my own story, of nine years of illness.
** "Consensus and canaries: About medical science and its loyalties"
This long article scrutinizes medical practice as well as scientific
research. It describes how many doctors regard illnesses they can't
understand as psychosomatic, illnesses such as amalgam poisoning or
chronic fatigue syndrome. Scientific research regarding the hazards
of, for instance, tobacco, toxic chemicals, dental amalgams or mobile
phones has been and is being manipulated, attacked or concealed,
often with the help of scientists who secretly work as consultants
for the very industry branch that has a direct interest in a certain
result of their research. An essential question is also whether
newspapers should report new research findings about possible health
risks, even if the so-called scientific community has not yet reached
consensus about it, something that often may take decades.
The article contains revealing facts about Nordic scientists' secret
collaborations since the 60's with American tobacco company Philip
Morris. Some of this has hardly been known before, but some of it has
been fuel for a scandal going on for over a year at the university in
Geneva, Switzerland, the so-called Rylander affair.
Both articles in one PDF at http://www.art-bin.com/art/pdf_download.html
You will get an overview of these and all other articles in this
issue at http://art-bin.com/aaehome.html
Best regards,
Karl-Erik Tallmo
editor, The Art Bin
