Coniglioviola purposes an eccentric inquietante vision of the "Summer at the Seaside" trough this work in progress which is at the same time a net.art work, a musical clip, a flash video-game, and a virtual vj set. Virtual swimmers can move within the beach looking for various objects and interacting with them, can use the boat to get into the castle, can zoom in the vision till entering the depths of the sea or zoom out till transforming the beach into a sonor wave, besides they can add to the movie various effects to create an infinite number of possible visions. All visitors can take active part to the work in progress of the site send the picture of their own "Summer at the Seaside" and overlap it to the video looking for it among the stars. The only limit to the possibilities of interaction is the time: at the ending of the song the game terminates and you need to restart. The song "Un'estate al mare" is a famous Italian song written by Franco Battiato and made famous by Giuni Russo. The new cover is sang by Donatello as a preview of the new multimedial project that Coniglioviola is preparing in collaboration with the theatral company of ASSEMBLEA TEATRO: <<RECUPERATE LE VOSTRE RADICI QUADRATE>> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 18:38:59 +0000 From: "file 2003 hipersonica" <hipersonica2003@hotmail.com> Subject: FILE- electronic language international festival FILE 2003 FILE- electronic language international festival will be launching its fourth edition in 2003 and the second edition of FILE Symposium; in 2003, the great innovation will be the electronic sonority event called FILE Hipersônica.

The list can include a wide range of members, ranging from those who have recently read or heard about Fluxus to experts. New Beginnings (Aug, 1999): Guidelines for FLUXLIST participation "Fluxus has been able to grow because it's had room for dialogue and transformation. It's been able to be born and reborn several times in different ways. The fluid understanding of its own history and meaning, the central insistence on dialogue and social creativity rather than on objects and artifacts have enabled Fluxus to remain alive on the several occasions that Fluxus has been declared dead."--Ken Friedman, A FLUXUS IDEA 1/2.

Some definitions, history, and resources. Geroge Maciunas "...a fusion of Spike Jones, vaudeville, gag, children's games and Duchamp." Martha Wilson "Fluxus...holds that change is the only constant. This movement contributed the term 'intermedia,' and popularized time-based performance, video, film, installation and published multiple forms that artists and the public take for granted today." Ken Friedman "Fluxus is (or was) an international community of artists, architects, designers and composers sometimes described as "the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s." In the aftermath of the 30th anniversary exhibitions, Fluxus has been celebrated as a leading force in the development of post-modern culture and dismissed as a group of charlatans. Variously described in terms of architecture, design, music, poetry, criticism, social sculpture, mathematics, politics, dance, film, visual art and many more, Fluxus can be thought of as a community of people engaged in all these disciplines. What they had (or have) in common is their engagement in evanescent forms that expanded the boundaries of art. When Fluxus emerged, it was radically distinct. It was not an art form or a way of making art, but a way of viewing society and life, a way of creating social action and life activity. "Fluxus occupied ecological border zones between existing forms and media, only some of which were art forms. Fluxus successfully and somewhat problematically erased all distinctions between art, philosophy, design and daily life. What distinguished Fluxus from everything else was the fact that we were in love with experimentation, really in love. "Often controversial, willing to argue with each other and with the common view of art, Fluxus participants were diverse in goals and divergent in viewpoint. The work was rooted in science and social practice as well as in art, resolutely experimental, profoundly theoretical and often didactic. These factors made Fluxus difficult to describe. Lacking a common sensibility or a trademark style, Fluxus was overlooked by an art market that defined the art history of recent decades. This situation has changed. Historical studies now locate Fluxus as a primary source of conceptual art, intermedia and performance art and Fluxus includes founding figures of video art, installation, mail art and Internet. Neglected by the market-oriented art world, Fluxus became a source of ideas and practices adopted by fields ranging from architecture and industrial design to culture theory and psychology." Fluxus Online "Fluxus is the wry, post-Dada art movement that flourished in New York and Germany in the 1950s and 60s, and influences many contemporary artists. The rest you have to figure out yourself." Ken Friedman (from a 4 October, 1996, post to FLUXLIST) "Heiko asks, 'Pop/Flux, I think the difference is the still unclear role of Maciunas, unclear to me. Why did people follow him?? What was so convincing in his concept, personality?' "It's not clear that anyone "followed" George in the normal sense of the word. I was close to him in the mid-60s and in those years worked more closely with him than many of the other Fluxus people, but you couldn't say I "followed" him. "George's role is quite clear. It's there in the history if you wish to read it. Four scholars have addressed different aspects of the issue, each from different views. Owen Smith's doctoral dissertation looks most specifically at George and at his relations with the rest of us. Smith, Owen. George Maciunas and a History of Fluxus (or) the Art Movement that Never Was. Seattle: University of Washington, Department of Art History, 1991. [doctoral dissertation] "What's a key here, is that much of what is said and written about George is the repetitive recycling of a few dramatic inventions that distort and mistake his role. He played an important role as one among several key figures, but the historical fact is that George was actually a late-comer to the circle of people who formed Fluxus. This circle began to form in the mid-50s in New York and in Europe among people who met and contacted each and who stayed in good touch during the formative years and after. In New York, this included the circle of Cage's students and friends such as Higgins, Knowles, Hansen, and others. In Europe, it included Paik, Vostell, Williams, Patterson and others. George met these people and brought them into the framework of his plan for a magazine called Fluxus. He had a name and an idea: the artists eventually adopted the name but they did not adopt George's ideas and he didn't lead them. Rather, there was -- after some fuss and bother -- a merging of ideas and expectations. If anything, you can say it was George who changed rather than the others, but it was all of them together who became Fluxus. "Fluxus was the name that George Maciunas created for a magazine. He used the name for a festival where some of the artists who became the group known as Fluxus met and performed together publicly for the first time under the name Fluxus. The name stuck, describing an existing complex of phenomena and a meeting ground of multiple concepts. To the degree that George brought the name with him that came to be applied to Fluxus, you can say that Fluxus was George's name. Even so, you can not say that Fluxus was "his concept." "Three other theses and dissertations discuss the several aspects of this in a brilliant way: Blom, Ina. 1993. The Intermedia Dynamic: An Aspect of Fluxus. Oslo, Norway: Institutt for Arkeologi, Kunsthistorie og Numismatikk, Universitet i Oslo. [magister thesis] Doris, David T. 1993. Zen Vaudeville: A Medi(t)ation in the Margins of Fluxus. New York, New York: Department of Art History, Hunter College. [master's thesis] Higgins, Hannah. 1994. Enversioning Fluxus: A Venture into Whose Fluxus, Where and When. Chicago: University of Chicago, Department of Art History. [doctoral dissertation] In addition, two magazine special issues shed great light on these matters: Sellem, Jean, ed. 1991. Fluxus Research. Lund Art Press, Vol. 2, No. 2, 1991: School of Architecture, University of Lund. This special issue of Lund Art Press is especially notable because it contains the first widely published version of Dick Higgins's key article, "Fluxus: Theory and Reception." Milman, Estera, ed. 1992. Fluxus: A Conceptual Country. [Visible Language, vol. 26, nos. 1/2.] Providence: Rhode Island School of Design." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 08:10:41 -0500 From: "S Clift" <slc@publicus.net> Subject: US election information links If you are interested in following diverse sources of information related to the U.S. election the announcement below may be of interest.

Manifesto for Becoming Autonomous Zones", a two-page itemized rant that wraps up the end of the book like a high-potency frosting): "Refugia: Neither a utopia nor a dystopia, but a haunted space for reverse engineering, monstrous graftings, spontaneous generation, recombination, difference, poly-versity hybridization, wildlings, mutations, mongrelizing, crop circles, anomalies, useless beauty, coalitions, agit-crops, and unseemly sproutings. Biotech and transgenic work in Refugia will be based on desire, consensual public risk assessment, informed amateur experimentation, contestational politics, nourishment and taste value, non-proprietary expertise, convivial delight, and healing." I don't know if this kind of talk gets you all revved up the way it does me, but yowza! Sign me up for some of those agit-crops! The full text of Refugia, by the way, is available as a single-page broadside, and can be freely downloaded at http://www.autonomedia.org/domainerrors/refugia.pdf Be good about spreading that one around! And see more of the book at http://www.autonomedia.org/domainerrors * "Behind the Blip: Essays on the Culture of Software" is new from British new-media cleverton Matthew Fuller (currently in residence at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam). Matthew's been involved with some pretty interesting critical-software projects in the last few years, digging into the myths behind Human-Computer Interface design, and revealing the political choices behind the sheen-of-neutrality found in most everyday-use software. "Behind the Blip" comes out of these projects, and is largely an articulation of what he found working on them. Lev Manovich, the author of "The Language of New Media", says that "what Fuller gives us is not just a usual book of theory but rather a kind of software -- a 'critical help system' to help us understand what is really going on behind the menu and the windows of our computer screens." There's a page about the book at http://www.autonomedia.org/behindtheblip, and if you like, there's also a downloadable sample copy of the book at http://www.autonomedia.org/behindtheblip/blip-sample.pdf. Sorry to be so long-winded with the URLs, but these are the times we live in... * And speaking of the times we live in, has there ever, ever been a better time to take the idea of revolution seriously? "Revolutionary Writing: 'Common Sense' Essays in Post-Political Politics", edited by Werner Bonefeld, collects more than a dozen essays by such relevant hard-hitters as Toni Negri, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, John Holloway, Harry Cleaver, and George Caffentzis. These essays, emerging from the soapbox of heterodox marxism (i.e., not the Party line, comrade), are grouped into three sections -- Open Marxism: Subversion and Critique; The Insurrection of Labor and Global Capital; and The Critique of the Political. This is a dense, challenging book, as certain to provoke as to enlighten. But what's better than an enlightened provocation, comrades? Again, there's sample text available over at our web site: http://www.autonomedia.org/revolutionarywriting , with a downloadable 55-page sample at http://www.autonomedia.org/revolutionarywriting/revwriting-sample.pdf * * * Now, about these special sale books: As you know, bookstores can be a fickle, finicky lover, and once in a while we get batches of returns of books that didn't measure up to the bar. What you didn't know is that one of our best titles, "Gone to Croatan: Origins of North American Dropout Culture" suffered this indignity by the boxful when a shipping agent of ours evidently became a little too ornery for the thinness of his parcel, and just like that a bunch of Croatans had their dignity ruined. A similar sadness took several cartons of the more-relevant-than ever "Midnight Oil: Work, Energy, War, 1973-1992" by the Midnight Notes Collective out of circulation, perfect in every way except some unfortunate marks to the cover or outer edges, but not to the extent that they can't be read. And you've got to read this book, which ties together the relations between work, energy, oil, and war in ways that defy nationalism and globalize resistance, as the saying goes. Or, as the back cover blurb puts it, "it draws a physiognomy of the planetary proletariat, connecting escaped indentured servants from India to oil workers sabotaging production in the Niger Delta; Gulf War resisters in New York to Kurdish rebels in Iraq; insurrectionary Iranian students to wildcat autoworkers in Detroit; housewives on rent strike in Italy to Boston burners of midnight oil. This book suggests new boundaries, hidden political commonalities and possible strategies for confronting the New World Order." So, here's the deal: Get Croatan for $8! Or get Midnight Oil for $6! Or, get both for $13!! This order will have to happen by email -- send a note to me or to orders@autonomedia-dot-org, and I'll tell you how to do it. Standard shipping rates will apply as well, and this deal will only last as long as the sad-book supply holds out, which hopefully won't be long. Order a bunch, and I'll even give you a special rate (see below)! * * Infoshops, DIY punk matinee merch-tablists, and other purveyors of the cheap-and-radical book sale: The above description of our sad-book supply extends to an entire shelf of inventory in our warehouse. The titles and quantities are always in flux, but while we've got them, you're welcome to order them in quantity, and I'll make 'em cheap! Get in touch via this email address or via orders-at-autonomedia.org, and I'll give you the full scoop. To rearticulate: Order ten or more books from our returns shelf, and they're yours for between $3 and $6 a piece. This offer is intended primarily for non-commercial distribution outlets, and would be perfect for your Food-not-Bombs fundraiser, or a radical reading group (check Midnight Oil again!), or a cheap way to lend some rad-cred to your lonely-looking bookshelf! * * * Intern Needed! Autonomedia is always on the lookout for dedicated interns who can commit to a three-to-six month tour of duty here in Brooklyn, working on a variety of projects. This is an unpaid position (as they all are here); depending on the interests of the applicant the role could include production, promotional, editorial, design, administrative, and muscle-building work, and most likely some exotic cocktail of all these. Please email me if you're interested. * * * The Autonomadic Bookmobile is on the road! The 2-person small-press medicine show left New Orleans at the end of July, and is slowly puttering around the eastern half of the U.S. through October. They've got a tremendous show and a lively library (the kind that sells stuff, too!), and may well be tracing the wind somewhere near you right soon! Their home on the web is http://www.autonomedia.org/bookmobile , and if you stick a /tour2003.html at the end of that you'll get their schedule. * * * That's it for your speculative futures from this end; as always, if the Autonogram's not your cup of tea, follow the unsubscribe instructions in the header of this email. If you've been waiting on a reply from me on some issue or other, please hold tight and maybe give me a gentle nudge; and of course, all hosannahs and words of support are welcome at any time. Hooray! bests, Ben Meyers / Autonomedia ps, in the "You heard it here first" category: New editions of TAZ and Pirate Utopias, both with new, added material, will be hitting the streets right about the beginning of September!

We proudly present his work: "Storybeat" http://dian-network.com/navigation.html I built Storybeat to house experiments in animation, interaction and storytelling. In my work I explore personal and psychological narratives. These explorations are often filtered through the culture of technology and influenced by the destabilizing elements of digital media. Using the web as my distribution platform, I am interested in experimenting with nonlinear and nonhierarchical structures, chance juxtapositions and responsive interaction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DIAN - Digital Interactive Artists' Network - is a network for artists who are seriously involved in using Internet technology in the domain of contemporary art.

Preface It was while thinking about the way in which distances are calculated, after having finished Le Sixième Monde, that I started to wonder how long it would take to travel one degree. The degree of longitude determines (more or less) the hour at which we live our lives and its distance depends on its latitude, a degree of latitude is always of the same distance. This flexibility allows a certain amount of play to come into calculations of time distance and speed, without involving quantum physics, and this play seemed to be an appropriate manner in which to follow the didacticism of. Le Sixième Monde, both insofar as they concern travel and the relativity of the definition of reality. This relativity is at the heart of the meaning of images, of representation of the reality which is fundamental to documentary research The other side of the work which I am involved in concerns the constraints and the manipulation of generic codes in the cinema, which has been to a large extent determined by the history of American cinema, even though I am a European, working in Europe. Cinematic genres play an essential role in the fabrication of the mythology, which goes so far in its contribution to the American psyche, and our image of the United States. During the months of July and August 2003, then later as the project develops, this site proposes a log in "real" time as the more developed stages of scouting out sequences emerge. David Kidman - ------------------------------ Which work? It acts of documentary of creation plurimédia, video DV and cinema 16, finalized 35, designed and carried out by David Kidman, and produced by inprogress, Marie-Helene Breuil Associate Producer, Tours (FR). The preparation and the locations in the United States start at the beginning of July to continue during the summer 2003 and afterwards. This site proposes a pilot's remark in real time of film to the work and work; it locates various regional and cultural topologies following the length of the parallel 36th, at the same time material and virtual environment marking the choices of the realization and the stages of the Production. It presents fragments of documents collected and announce the small events or the large ones which constitute the singular course of the building of movie. It is constituted in two parts according to the chronology of the activities (except change of the scheme of work): 1. Preparation and Locations: first voyage; 2. Turning: second voyage. - --------------------------- Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 02:03:27 +0200 From: Station Rose <gunafa@well.com> Subject: "Electronic Habitat" Station Rose "Electronic Habitat" Exhibition and Performance at Galerie Martina Detterer http://www.detterer.de 22.7.-2.8.03 Opening Saturday 19.7.03 7p.m. "The flow of Live-Webcastings has been stopped, and from digital destillates, frozen in time, art objects have been produced.
