PLUG PULLED ON 1st SEOUL QUEER FILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL
Seoul, Sept.20, 1997.
Yesterday (Sept 19) was the opening night of the 1st Seoul Queer Film &
Video Festival at the Tongmun Theater on Yonsei University Campus. The
festival was due to run until Sept 25, and included 85 films from all over
the world.
However, the authorities waited until that day to take action against the
festival, effectively preventing it from going ahead. The festival was hit
with a double whammy.
First, the local government officials in the Soedaemun District of Seoul
where Yonsei University is located posted a notice on the door of the
theater declaring the event illegal. They threatened to seize all screening
equipment and materials to be screened, and also threatened the organizers
with a 20 million Korean won (approx. US$22,000) fine and a 3 year jail
sentence.
Second, Yonsei University withdrew support, threatening to turn off the
electricity in the building. According to reports, they had come under
pressure from alumni, whose funds were used to build the theater in question.
The Seoul Queer Film and Video Festival staff and volunteers have put in
thousands of hours of work not only to organize the festival but also to try
and find a way to hold it legally. Over the last few months great difficulty
has been encountered with homophobic national censorship authorities. Even
Wong Kar-Wai's latest film HAPPY TOGETHER has been banned in Korea, with
authorities stating that it is "not relevant to the emotional life of the
Korean people."
The same authorities stated that they would not permit the Queer Film and
Video Festival to import and screen film prints. In these circumstances, the
festival was forced to attempt a technique used by other festivals in
similar circumstances, namely to screen videos only on a university campus.
But now that attempt has also run into a brick wall.
The Queer Film and Video Festival's difficulties raise serious questions
about civil rights and freedom of expression for all Koreans. We believe
that our struggle is of importance to all organizers of film festival, all
organizers of cultural events, and Korean audiences in general.
Last night, the festival staff, volunteers and audience members who had come
for the opening night gathered in a bar nearby. One by one, everyone present
took the stage to express their feelings. Among those who spoke were members
of all sectors of the gay, lesbian and queer communities, including
cyperspace bulletin board organizers, members of the film culture community,
university teachers, and university and high school students.
Everyone agreed that the struggle to find a way to hold the 1st Seoul Queer
Film and Video Festival must go on. The festival will now try to find an
alternative legal venue to hold the festival in a few weeks time, and will
also continue to demand reasonable censorship procedures to allow it hold a
legal public event. Watch this space for further details...

CINEMATHEK KOELN
Sao Paulo
Moscow
Tokyo
Operating Systems
The computer has transformed itself from number-cruncher to a digital
technology that enforces worldwide use of a new universallanguage.
Directors, artists-developers and cineasts from Sao Paulo, Moscow and
Tokyo are invited to present and discuss how electronic and digital
technology is used in their film production. Can we say that there are
digital dialects present at the creation of moving images? Videoartists
from Sao Paulo use non-linear editing techniques to present a form of
image-dribbling within the apparatus of large television networks; here
the actual situation determines the relation of man and image.
In Moscow, agglomerations between the avantgarde of the past and the new
age of the machine are formed. Digital technology is used to restore
historical animation and to build independent production facilities like
the Studio of Vladimir Kobrin.
Tokyo's artists have developed a hybrid language and formed special machine
designs. They work in the shadow of a megacity which seems to be
permanently aware of natural and military catastrophes.
The morning sessions - Operating Systems - are dedicated to new large
format films that require unforeseen dimensions of computer technology.
In the Cinemathek a videolounge will allow to view separately the visual
works from these cities.
An experimental server will be configurated for the Internet that reflects
the moving images from Sao Paulo, Moscow, Tokyo and the Operating Systems.

Subject: A virtual double theatre project: "RR PROJECT". Join in!
"Every authentic image has a shadow that constitues its double (Antonin
Artaud, Theatre and its Double)"
Look at
http://www.areacom.it/remoterisonanze
THE TELEMATIC EVENT WILL HAPPEN ON THE 4TH OCTOBER 1997 FROM 6 P. M. TO 8 P.
M.(MIDDLE EUROPE TIME ZONE)
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The telematic event REMOTE RISONANZE is a project that is specific to a
local section of "Arte all'Arte", an exhibition born by an idea of Luciano
Pistoi. This exhibition is conceived like an interaction moment between the
main figures of contemporary art and some of the most interesting natural
and architectural places of the involved italian countries.
REMOTE RISONANZE event is linked to the workshop of foam rubber sculpture
conduct by Piero Gilardi, guest artist in Alba. It is also connected to the
opening of the Social Theatre of Alba, a XIXth century building that has
been restored and expanded on the base of an interesting and very innovative
project of double mirror-like stage.
During the development of REMOTE RISONANZE Piero Gilardi, Gianni Corino and
Elisa Giaccardi worked on the idea of joining in a kind of resonance the
digital dimension of cyberspace and the spatial dension of the Social
Theatre. The creations made during the workshop of Piero Gilardi had to be
the medium.
As is written in the dictionary ("resonance is the sound which is produced
in one object by sound waves coming from another object") our intention is
to "make vibrate" the substanceless body of Internet in the historical space
of Theatre, creating a bridge made of voices and words.
On Internet we have shaped a VR world which represents some places of the
Social Theatre, using the plans and diagrams that the architects who had
restorated the Theatre gave us. So what we shaped is a kind of virtual
"double" of the Social Theatre!
In this virtual space that you can explore, you will find some
anthropomorphic figures, the "characters" made during the workshop of Piero
Gilardi and now suspended in waiting bubbles. Moving yourself in the virtual
space in search of these phantasmagorical characters, you can give voice to
them with a simple click. In this way you will activate the "voice" of great
masters of the theatre (Brecht, Artaud, Copeau...), and their voices will be
heard in the Social Theatre too, in a random combination of remote impulses.
Unknown surfers of Internet will start these readings which people of the
theatrical world have prepared. They are readings about the importance of
opening new theatres and new social places devoted to culture.
The bridge between the inside and the outside, the on-line and the off-line,
is pure orality, we have transitory voices that from the virtual double of
the Theatre come back to the real Theatre in Alba and to their visitors.
This passage happens thanks to the action, the unconscious ambient
direction, of unknown remote visitors or cyberspace body.
REMOTE RISONANZE is the first event of RR PROJECT that is research and
experimentation of new theatrical and dramaturgical possibilities linked to
a complex and hybrid real-virtual dimension. The creation of a virtual
double or third stage want to continue the projectual line of the
restoration and expansion of the Social Theatre of Alba followed by the
architects.

transArchitecture - Building The Edge Of Thought
Marcos Novak is an architect and theorist whose work is at the
forefront of debates around architecture, cyberspace, virtual reality
and digital media. Novak is an associate visiting professor in the S
chool of Digital Arts, University of California, Los Angeles.
transArchitecture, architecture beyond architecture, is an
architecture of heretofore invisible scaffolds. It has a twofold
character: within cyberspace is exists as liquid architecture that
is transmitted across the global information networks; within
physical space it exists as an invisible electronic double
superimposed on our material world. Marcos Novac, architect and
artist, explains the philosophical background of the liquid
architecture and shows the two faces of digital architecture.
** Lev Manovich
What is Digital Cinema ?
Lev Manovich is an artist, theorist and lecturer in media arts
at the University of California San Diego. He has written extensively
on the emergence of new Media Art in Russia and is currently
researching the field of digital cinema.
** Erkki Huhtamo
Future Ghosts in an Ancient Mirror
Media archaeogical approaches to the pre-history of the electronic
screen - Picture screens are cultural artifacts that have their own
histories, conditioned by cultural, social, technological and
ideological factors. Considering the centrality of the electronic
screen in the culture of our century, it is surprising that no
comprehensive history of the screen exists. The electronic screen
had concrete predecessors, but, perhaps even more importantly,
there were discursive manifestations that had already elaborated
on the idea. It could be claimed that discursive screens, the
ones that were switched on only in imagination or on paper,
influenced the development as much as the materialized ones.
In this lecture I will excavate the formative development of the
electronic screen from a media-archaeological point of view. I
will investigate some of the material and discursive factors that
anticipated it and influenced its form and idea, travelling
backwards in time as far as the 16th century.
** Erkki Huhtamo
Erkki Huhtamo is an unaffiliated media researcher, writer and curator.
His specialities include media archeology and media art. Mr Huhtamo has
published numerous studies and scholarly articles. He has lectured
widely and presented papers at symposia and festivals in Europe, Japan,

** Arild Fetveit
Digital image manipulation and fictive photographical portraits
The digitalisation of photographical images has opened new
arenas for artists. Among these, the portrait seems like one of
the most promising places for intervening. The fictive photographical
portrait, which so far has had a rather marginal life, is brought on
through the digital technique. The new possibilities will be discussed
drawing on the works of Cindy Sherman, Ole John Aandal, Vibeke Tandberg,
and Keith Cottingham.
Arild Fetveit is researcher at Department for Media and Communication,
University of Oslo. He has done work on documentary, on interpretation
and reception theory, and on digitalisation of photographical images. He
is currently working on a dissertation about the boundaries of
documentary film.
** Julia Knight
"Where am I ?" on the position of the viewer in interactive media.
Discussions about new media art, and digital technologies
generally, usually claim that the 'user' now takes a more active role
than has been the case for a 'consumer' of older art forms and cultural
products. In conjunction with such claims is the assertion that
the role of the artist is also changing, that the artist is
increasingly relinquishing control over the work they produce as
the 'user' plays a crucial role in shaping the end product, that
the artist can be viewed as more of a facilitator or collaborator.
However, the traditional notion of 'artist', as an individual creative
genius, is still firmly embedded in both our culture generally and art
institutions in particular. This paper wants to suggest that this is
skewing the way 'audiences' for new media art are considered - and
thereby challenge some of the ways the 'user' of digital technologies
has been conceptualised - with the result that the actual experiences
of 'users' are often largely neglected.
It will go on to consider a range of issues relating to 'user'
experiences of both artworks and other cultural products, such as
the exhibition of work designed for a single user, accommodating the
individual user in a multi-user environment, (perceptual)
immersion vs (technological) interactivity, different forms of
interaction and 'reading' practices, user desire vs ability to
engage/interact, and user motivation. The paper will use these
issues both to highlight the range of experiences - all too often
homogenised by the all-encompassing but virtually meaningless term
'interactivity' - offered by digital media and to consider what the
'user' might want.
Julia Knight worked in the independent film and video sector in Britian

Vigdis snakker om det totale innhold, om etisk og estetisk ansvar i
interaktiv teknologi, om felleskap og barrierer mellom mennesker med
ulik kulturbakgrunn. Med videoprojeksjoner i bevegelse, video-overf
ringer via elektroniske telenett, konstruksjoner i tre og i plexiglass
med skjelvende og urolige reflekser, med lydbilder og vindtuneller lar
Vigdis naturprosesser fra ulike geografiske steder rundt om p* kloden

verdner av fossefallets suggererende bevegelser, vulkanens kraft eller

Steirischer Herbst 97 "Social Bodies"
25 September - 31 October, Graz, Austria
An annual international festival of art, literature, theater and music,
more than 32 exhibitions, symposia, performances are scheduled
throughout Styria, mainly in Graz. The Festival is held every Autumn in
Graz, this year's pre-program is online at:
http://www.stherbst.at/vor97_2.html
ZONEN DER VER-STÖRUNG (Zones of Disturbance)
27 Sept - 31 Oct: Zones of Disturbance, the international exhibition
curated by Silvia Eiblmayr will be on view at the Marieninstitut, Graz.
Internet and CD ROMS selected by Kathy Rae Huffman, and a Reading Room,
created by Thomas Brandstetter, will host Internet terminals, computer
workstations with bookmarks of e-zines, artists websites, real books and
a good cup of coffee.
The pre-program is online at:
http://www.stherbst.at/V_zonen.html#english
CURATORIAL Statement:
The "Zones of Disturbance" address everyday phenomena, the stuff of the
media: commodities, advertisement, consumption, career, family, tourism,
sexuality, illness, psychosis, accidents, racism, crime, terrorism, war.
The artists in this exhibition are working on overlapping socio-cultural
"fields of syndromes" in an attempt to study what effects and affects
accompany the radical transformations of the geopolitical and economic
situation.
An increasingly brutal capitalism and new technologies of the
ever-faster transfer of goods, information and media has led to a
collision of modern and postmodern activities, of real and virtual
bodies and thus also to a potential of threatening uncertainty which the
"zones" are all about.
At issue are two inseparably linked phenomena: "Störung" (interference")
as a sort of oppositional intervention and "Verstörung" ("disturbance"
or "confusion") as reactive affect, as irritation. Both are equally
informed by a media-dictated fusion of reality and fiction, as the
presented works clearly show. For the artistic strategies and the means
employed this implies that photography, video and film projections,
hypertextual forms and multimedia CD-Roms as well as the electronic data
networks dominate this exhibition.
Dr. Silvia Eiblmayr, Zonen der Ver-Störung curator
Kathy Rae Huffmam's personal comment:
The Zones of Disturbance exhibition is an exciting opportunity to see a
strong international selection of installations. These works all use
media techniques (42! installations), that reflect upon and analyze the
vastness of our 'media-dictated' and influenced IRL reality. A full
color catalogue, a series of performance events, readings & lectures and
a symposium are designed to follow the themes expressed by Dr. Eiblmayr

Sunset/sunrise
Beloved,
Crystal clear is the air here, and
quiet like silence, and light and white.
I am plowing my way through and can
hear it.
That if I take it in (the air) - inhale: Shout
your name - exhale
the echo will launch an avalanche
Yours forever
your sunset/sunrise
forever yours
yours forever yours
