ONE DAY CONFERENCE/EVENT
IDENTITY PAPERS: UN-DOING ASIAN CULTURE
Saturday 16th May 1998
ICA, The Mall, London 10am-6pm stlg15/stlg10(concessions)
The recent emergence and celebration of a distinctive `Asian culture'
at the centre of metropolitan Britain raises a number of urgent
political questions. By bringing together a number of young innovative
artists, writers and theorists this unique day event interrogates the
aesthetics and politics of a diverse range of South Asian diasporic
media.
To what extent do these cultural practices challenge the
prevalent forms of orientalism and racism? Is the present
fetishization of Asian culture a way of reconstructing post-imperial
white British identity? Is the language and approach of contemporary
criticism and critical theory adequate to address the complexities of
post-colonial politics. What representational forms are necessary to
contest the present eurocentric narratives of race, nation,
multiculturalism and globalization.
Speakers include: Sunnie Arshi, Bidesha, Perminder Kaur, Niru Ratnan,
Imran Khan, Deepa Patel, Arvind Singh, Gargi Bhattacharya, Sanjay
Sharma, Koushik Banerjea, Claire Alexander, Raminder Kaur and Ashwani
Sharma plus others to be confirmed. Screenings include: The Sheep
Thief, dir. Asif Kapadia and Surviving Sabu, dir. Ian Iqbal Rashid.
The conference will be followed in the evening by a chill-out session
of urban breakbeats.
Organised by Ashwani Sharma and the ICA
Tickets will be available directly from the ICA. (0171 930 3647)

******************
INFO: „Gerechtigkeit für Satpal Ram“ - Free Satpal Ram-Campaign
Satpal Ram ist nunmehr elf Jahren im Gefängnis. 1986 wurde Satpal Ram in einem
indischen Resaurant von sechs Mannern überfallen, von denen einer bei Satpals
Versuch, sich zu wehren, verletzt wurde. Im Krankenhaus lehnte es dieser weiße
Mann ab, von einem asiatischen Krankenhausangestellten behandelt zu werden und
erlag seinen Verletzungen. Laut britischem Gesetz ist Selbstverteidigung kein
Gesetzesverstoß, aber Satpal Ram sitzt wegen Mordes im Gefängnis. Satpals Rams
Berufung wurde zugelassen, im November 1995 jedoch zurückgewiesen. Eine
Kampagne rief zu mehreren Demonstrationen vor dem Obersten Gericht auf. Satpal
wurde das Recht, vor dem Gericht vorzusprechen, verweigert. Unter seinen Rufen
'No Justice, No Peace' wurde er aus dem Gerichtssaal gezerrt. Die Kampagne
'Gerechtigkeit für Satpal Ram' wird fortgeführt. Vor kurzem brachte die
Musikgruppe 'Asian Dub Foundation' die Single „Free Satpal Ram“ auf den Markt,
um die Ungerechtigkeit dieses Falles zu thematiseren und an die Öffentlichkeit
zu bringen. Unterstützt die Befreiungskampagne fur Satpal Ram! 'Free Satpal
Campaign', c/o Handsworth Law Centre, 101 Villa Rd, Birmingham, B19 1NH
England.

*******************
NEU: Jeden ersten Mittwoch im Monat (im April ausnahmsweise der zweite
Mittwoch) im Nachtleben! Indian Vibes verbindet Einflüsse traditioneller
indischer Musik mit aktueller Clubmusik wie Drum&Bass, Ambient und Freestyle.
Premiere war Mitte August 1997 im Ostklub mit 300 Besuchern, zur Buchmesse
gab`s eine Liveübertragung bei Radio X. Das schrieb die Presse: „Bei uns haben
auch schon einige Leute mitbekommen, daß Asian Underground ziemlich angesagt
ist“ (blue rhythm/jazz thing 1/98); „Man kann ja nur lernen, wenn man sich zu
so einer außergewöhnlichen Party-Veranstaltung wie Indian Vibes begibt...
diese Musik wird in den kommenden Monaten sicher auch die größeren Clubs
vermehrt beschallen“ (Stefan Raulf, Frankfurter Rundschau); „...auch bei uns
werden die Menschen nicht mehr zu Hause bleiben, wenn irgendwo die Sitars
gespielt werden“ (Prinz 11/97); „In Deutschland muß man die Platten bislang
noch in der Import-Kiste suchen“ (Spex, 8/97); „Asian Dance steht mehr für das
heutige England als Noel und Liam Gallagher“, meint Björk.

Swallow -

- hasn't gone away yet.
#8 is an uneasy melange of personal revelations from people you never
heard of, the latest in cryptography techniques, a bunch of stuff about
ducks, some completely random words, a really bad poem by the editor and
more...
that should probably read 'less'...

Canon's ARTLAB presents "LOVERS" by Teiji Furuhashi and "frost frames" by
Shiro Takatani
ARTLAB holds an exhibition from May 10 to 21, 1998 at SPIRAL, Tokyo,
consisting of "LOVERS," 1994 collaborative work by artist Teiji Furuhashi
with ARTLAB, and a new work by Shiro Takatani, leading member of the art
group Dumb Type.
After shown at ARTLAB4(1994), "LOVERS" has been invited and shown at 11
venues in 7 countries in U.S. and Europe from 1995 to 1997, starting from
"Video Spaces" at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). "LOVERS" to be
shown this time is its international version, renovated from the original
version, for the first time in Japan.
Furuhashi was the leading member of Dumb Type, and gave numerous
outstanding performances and installations before he passed away three
years ago. LOVERS is his first full-scale solo and posthumous work at the
same time. Since there were many requests to exhibit the work again, ARTLAB
planned a special exhibition to show the installation along with a new
video installation by Shiro Takatani, who is one of the collaborators in
the production of LOVERS.
The theme of LOVERS is a relationship of love, generated along the borders,
for example, between humans, human and body, and humans and information. In
the work, filmed images of life-size humans appear in a dim space. The
movements of visitors in the space are perceived by sensors and affect the
course of movement of the images. On the other hand, "frost frames,"
depicts a world where the contrast of projected images mutually turn
"whiteout."
<ARTLAB Exhibition "LOVERS"(Teiji Furuhashi) / "frost frames"(Shiro Takatani)>

Artists' Profile:
<Teiji Furuhashi>
Born in 1960. Graduated from Art Dept.of Kyoto University of Arts. Created
films, music, performances, and experimented with various ways of
expressions. In 1984, formed a multi-media art group Dumb Type in Kyoto,
and created works in a group in the form of performance and installation,
etc. Furuhashi showed his solo work "LOVERS" in 1994 when Dumb Type
performed "S/N." In the autumn of 1995, died of an infection with HIV.
<Shiro Takatani>

DATADREAMS / MORPHEUS' EMBRACE (revisited)
http://www.mateor.nl/datadreams/index.html
The General Idea
The goal of the project was to make a machine that would
make it possible to visualize the dreams of someone - in
this case Jos de Mul- realtime and publish them on the
internet.
However, it is not (yet) possible to do so. But indirectly we
can do something which looks a lot like that:
We could register when Jos is dreaming and
simultaneously produce a dream-like animation using
pictures made of his daily life as a basis. These pictures
were divided into different categories like work. house,
family, media, on the assumption that in dreams a person
processes the information registered during the day and
strange and unexpected combination of content and
imagery are the result. The animation would be a morph,
most fittingly, from one image to one from another
category.
Setup
During the project Jos de Mul slept in the museum in
Almere connected to a device that measured the electrical
activity of his brains.
This two-channel EEG-device, built by ORION Electronics
enabled us to determine when the subject entered the
REM-period of his sleep. In essence, the REM-period is the
moment in our sleep when we are dreaming.
This EEG-device was connected/built-in a PC - sponsored
most generously by IBM - connected to the internet by
means of a dialup ppp connection to the website Moir
Brandts Honk.
A program, written by Mateor, filtered the EEG-input and
established when a REM-period occured and started a
batch file with a random image name input to produce a
morph-animation. This animation in MPEG format was
subsequently put on the web.

ho all,
I've finally found some time and did the spanish TAZ web site. It
was translated by Guadalupe Sordo, and was given to me by Alenka
Pirman of the Ljubljana SCCA who's just been to Columbia (is this
important?).
Please notify your latin american (chiapas or not) companeros that
now -- after eastern european html help, and as a gesture of
transatlantic omni-dumdum-solidarity -- they can read this important
volume in their mother tongue.
The url is:
http://www.vuk.org/taz/
And for the next step, I can proudly announce the Slovene version
that is going to empower (2) millions in struggle against the
transcorporate nationalism.

I'm curating film and video work for the Femme Gender Conference in San
Francisco May 30-31. I'm looking for short work (maximum 1/2 hour), as I'm
preparing an hour and a half program and want a diversity of voices. Each
piece curated will address some aspect of femme identity, culture, art or
life. We are open to all ideas, including:
- fat femme/body image
- femme/femme relationships
- femme/butch relationships
- femmes and transmen
- femmes in the sex industry
- femme heros
- femme history
- femmes in popular culture
- femmes of color
- femme spirituality
- young femmes
- femmes in midlife
- older femmes
- parenting
- transgendered femmes
- boy femmes
The Femme Gender Conference seeks to explore the fixed and changing
expressions of femme identity among lesbian and bisexual women,
transgendered people and gay and straight men-- in various communities of
color and along different class lines. This conference represents a
continuation of a public discussion begun at last year's inaugural Femme
Gender Conference, sponsored by the Harvey Milk Institute as an ongoing
forum for the exploration and discussion of gender.
Film and video presenters receive complimentary admission to the 2-day
conference.

From: Stefaan Decostere <decoste@imaginet.be>
THE PARTY is a fun course of treatment for body and mind. Its dual action
works to remove inhibitions via a 'short circuit' or 'repositioning' and is
effective on all types of speech loss or 'fin-de-sihcle' hysteria.
PROPERTIES :
* counters any abilityto deal with the world - the virtual and the real one
* improves circulation and vital functions
* stimulates the collective heart
* prevents urban nightmares, neighbourhood disputes, constipation brought
on by the media, allergies to other people
* reinforces physical and mental resistance to the society of market forces
* makes it easier to smile
* reduces swelling in the belly button
* broadens horizons
FORM. ADMINISTRATION CHANNEL. CONDITIONING :
THE PARTY is a fun-packed multi vitamin complex combining parallel worlds.
It is an essential vitamin supplement, just the ingredient you need to
spice up your life ! It comprises this site
<http://www.partywalker.org/partybus>, an installation The Heart of
Brussels (also open on this site) and four sound-system PartyBus parties
throughout the city of Brussels, during the month of May, when the
KunstenFESTIVALdesArts is taking place. The themes are RESISTANCE and the
CITY.
THE HEART OF BRUSSELS will welcome browsers in a lively treatment centre :
chaises longues with headphones and soundtracks, innovators/nurses and
relaxing surroundings. These will constitute the main elements of the
modules which show the body in the many ways it can be manipulated and
treated.
Once a week (09-15-22-30.05) a PARTYBUS-bar complete with sound-system will
leave the site of the installation to cross town. When that happens, each
experience can be followed and lived in a particular way and in real time
simultaneously on the site, in the installation and at the heart of the
party events. DJ's on the bus, local radio stations and radio-on-line will
mix and conjugate.
DOSAGE :
Four doses of party, once a week during May.
* First dose : how to spend the night ? Before another ? And another ?
Sleepless. How much time will we spend together ?
* Second dose : is that what it means to try to interrupt what comes
infinitely, in spite of ourselves ? How to mark out a path through this
space ?
* Third dose : is that what it means to resist the powers that be ?
Restore order before the beginning of the end ?
* Fourth dose : where are you going, Walker ? Tell us.
SIDE EFFECTS :
* tendonitis caused by intensive mouse use while surfing
* infestation of the site by sales networks (appearance of pornographic
images, advertisements for sperm or any other kind of banks, etc)
* palpitations due to party vibes
* love at first sight, kisses, post-party amorous liaisons
* all kinds of untimely audacity (poetic of political itches, acts of
solidarity, shouting, sweet dreams, bursts of laughter) in reaction to
Walker.
INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEDICINES OR FOODSTUFFS :
The Party may interfere with similar types of medicine. Should this occur,
contact Walker to find out which sites are working with
<http://www.partywalker.org/partybus>.
INSTANCES WHEN THE USE OF THE MEDICINE SHOULD BE AVOIDED :
De Party is not advised for people who are afraid of computers, who do not
like parties, Brussels or other people, and who believe they are at one
with themselves.
REGISTERED TO :
Stefaan Decostere.
MANUFACTURERS :
Michael Samyn, Filip Maes, Dominique Callewaert (site-design), Xavier Leton
(concept party events), Mark Van Tongele, Lex Wouterloot, Xavier Leton en
Stefaan Decostere (texts), Ryoji Ikeda (music), Dirk De Wit, vzw Constant
(production).
Want to know more ? Or want to participate ? Then look for Walker on the
web ; he'll take you on a virtual tour and help you find out more about the
