>From 17 - 26 August, mute is looking into the spheres of 'technoscience'
at the Documenta Hybrid WorkSpace. We are focussing primarily on the
social and political effects of the commercialisation of scientific
research, privatisation of organic and genetic fields and
virtualisation of medical technologies. We will be doing this in part by
looking at ways in which artists are critiquing and making interventions
into theses processes. In addition we are interested in the historical
constructions and philosophical understandings of the terms that
form a foundation for all these areas, namely #nature#, #technology# and
the #human#.
mute's newsgroup at the WorkSpace is called 'technoscience'. Please take
a look and post any comments. If you are having trouble making a statement
'stick' use the fast option by just mailing direct to:
technoscience@workspace.icf.de
Over time, we will also be archiving several interviews, webworks and
texts on our website at www.metamute.com/technoscience
Further mail to: mute@easynet.co.uk (mute@metamute.com after 30.8.97)
[fresh out-off the content factory there is an interview with CAE by
J.Bosma, a text by Matt Fuller on genetics, one by James Flint on
temporality (!) an Interview with Verena Andermatt Conley, John Hytnik
on Malaysia (in German), and a manifesto on Democratising technology../p]

Subject: euro-english (fwd)
The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has
been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European
communications, rather than Dutch or German, which were the other
possibilities. As part of the negotiations, the British government
conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has
accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish
(Euro for short).
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c".
Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the
hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up
konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are
possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters,
which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre
that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and
they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing
"th" by "z" and "w" by "v".
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be
no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand
ech ozer.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

Subject: ZAPATISTA ENCUENTRO, PART 1
reread nettime:
1.MANIFESTO FOR THE CONVOCATION OF THE 2ND
INTERCONTINENTAL GATHERING :FOR A WORLD WHICH
CONTAINS ALL WORLDS
We live in a period when human relations are
intensely colonized. Everywherethe same social
system subjects humanity to the law of money and
homogenizeslife, generating poverty and devastation.
Faced with the ruins inflicted bythis relentless
machine, resistances arise from other ways of life,
yet these seem condemned to isolation. The time has
come to break the vicious circle which prevents
humanity from bringing together its unease, its
struggles and the will for change.
In Mexico the armed revolt of the indigenous
community of Chiapas, organized by the EZLN, has
opened the way towards a different future for us
all. Since the 1st January 1994 the imaginative
struggle of the Zapatistas has spurred people
worldwide to create alternatives to neoliberalism.
Their initiatives have been created outside the
bounds of traditional institutional politics and
always seek to involve the greatest possible
numbers, especially among marginalized people.
In this spirit the First Intercontinental Meeting
for Humanity and Against Neoliberalism was organized
in August 1996, hosted by five indigenous
communities in Chiapas, despite the military
occupation and siege by the Mexican Federal Army.
The first Encuentro attracted more than three
thousand people from 43 countries in five
continents. They gained the opportunity to meet
each other, to reflect and express themselves, in an
unprecedented act of solidarity.
These participants dared to cross the threshhold
opened by the Zapatistas and sought to cross to the
other side of the looking-glass. There everyone
could be equal, precisely because they succeed in
being different, so that various ways of life co-
exist, all joined in rejecting the present system
with the desire to construct a world which includes
many worlds -- the 'humanity' of which we speak.
Everywhere there are people who are fed up with the
dominant values, who seekto change their own lives,
to open new spaces and construct a more dignified
present. Everywhere there are willing accomplices
desiring to live an adventure. To achieve this, it
is worth extending the Chiapas initiative and
creating the network of resistance which was
proposed by the first Encuentro:
'An international network of resistance in which
people help each other, a network without an
organized structure, without a central command,
without a hierarchy. A network comprising all those
who resist.'

time that he followed postgraduate studies at the Jan van Eijk Academie in

issues include hand pasted collages, rubber stamps, hand cuttings and hand
coloring on an average of 6 hand made entries per issue. Editions of
Fandangons ranged from 1000 to 3000 copies per issue.

the most important artist's publication ofthat period. All issues were

Americas and Japan. Copies of the publication reach today prices as high as
800 till 1000 DM at art fairs and exhibitions.
The Fandangos exhibition at Boekie Woekie, include copies from each and
