As a part of De Geuzen’s series on the mediated image, Klaas Hoek will
be presenting two television works by Alexander Kluge. Following the
screening of each program there will be a discussion among a selection
of panellists and the audience. The aim is to raise particular issues
in relation to Kluge’s work and the medium itself. Some of the
questions to be considered are : What are the basic constraints and
benefits of making works for television in general? What does it mean
to enter into the corporate/capitalist business of T.V.? What is at the
root of trying to “reach the masses” and is that Kluge’s goal? What is
the impact on the voice of the author once the work has been placed in
this specific context?
The evening will be recorded and used as the starting point for a video
interview to be held with Kluge in Munich at a later date.
Panellists:
David Garcia: artist and media critic
Klaas Hoek : visual artist
Jan Ritsema: theatre maker
Jan van Toorn - designer
Roemer van Toorn - architect /critic
Renee Turner - artist / curator

*** BLACK WOMENS GUIDE TO EUROPE ***
*** URGENT: contact, information, help needed ***
*************************************************
The LIVERPOOL BLACK SISTERS are currently putting
together the BLACK WOMENS GUIDE TO EUROPE (see below).
The print issue of this Guide will be launched in June
'98 - and will be available online after the launch. We
are looking for contributions, contacts, information for
the publication. We want to establish connections with
initiatives in other European cities. We are also looking
for possible translators, which would allow us to publish
the BLACK WOMENS GUIDE TO EUROPE in other languages than
English.
If you:
- are involved in a project similar to the Liverpool
Black Sisters
- are involved in a publication similar to the Black
Womens Guide to Europe
- have general information you think should be included in
the Guide
- would like to contribute specific information on a European
city and the situation concerning Black Women
- can contribute contacts for official bodies, advice
centres, initiatives within your area
- describe experiences with institutions or initiatives
- would like to establish contact
- could translate from English into another language
...please contact us. you can find contact details at the
end of this mail. Contact us now, we need to go to print
in May '98.
Thanks,
Sandra St.Rose (Centre Manager)
****************************************************
*** BLACK WOMENS GUIDE TO EUROPE ***
The Guide takes you on a tour to Europe. As the European
Union expands, there is growth and development in
language, legislation and politics. This requires some
simple translation.
We, as Black women contribute to the shape and dimension
of Europe. Our ethnicity has provided many researchers
with findings about our lives and families. However, in
this initiative, we provide a description and
interpretation to guide the development of our
communities.
The Guide to Europe is based on research conducted on 50
Black women in the Liverpool area. It also includes the
experiences of Liverpool Black Sisters on their visit to
France. The findings reflect a growing demand for
information that Black women require which is not
currently available in one publication.
The Guide answers many basic questions about the European
Union. It provides a useful starting point on the trip
through the 'Euromaze'. The guide provides a first step
for the armchair enthusiasts, globe trotters and the Euro
novice to navigate their way around Europe.
****************************************************
*** LIVERPOOL BLACK SISTERS ***
***********************
* Vision Statement
*
* Humanity has drawn heavily from Black women's well
* of strength since the dawn of time. Liverpool Black
* Sisters maintains the tradition by honouring mothers
* who have given so much and inspiring talented
* daughters to shine.
***********************
LIVERPOOL is the longest established Black Community in
the UK. This gives the City a special historic and
symbolic significance. Liverpool Black Sisters has
supported and celebrated Black women for nearly 3
decades. The dawn of the new Millennium will coincide
with our 30 years anniversary. We aim to celebrate the
Millennium with a month of events which will honour
the historical contributions Black women have made to
the development of the human race. We hope you will
join us in making the year 2000 the year of the
positive Black women.
BLACK talent must be given positive expressions; this
society cannot afford to ignore the exceptionally rich
seam of abilities that Black women and girls
represent. Our role is to keep proving this point by
honing the skills of women so that they can
demonstrate that we can be the best at anything we
choose to do.
SISTERS are moving forward in every aspect of life.
Wherever your destination may lead LBS is prepared to
assist you. We only ask that users of our services
respect our heritage and contribute to building a
successful Black community.

media art workshop in the midnight sun
CALL TO PARTICIPATE: POLAR CIRCUIT 2
Rovaniemi, Tornio, Haparanda June/July 1998
(application deadline April 21st)
Polar Circuit media art workshop was organised for the first time in 1997,
at the College of Art and Media in Tornio, Souht-West part of Finnish
Lapland. 52 artists, writers and students gathered there to work on
projects, discuss and enjoy the 24 hour access to sunlight and media labs.
The response from those who visited was very positive. I am glad to release
this call for Polar Circuit 2.
This year´s event starts in June in Rovaniemi, even closer to the Arctic
Circle. Two workshops are hosted by New media research lab at the
University of Lapland. The workshops are given by Steve Bradley and Darij
Kreuh. Between and during the workshops the lab is offered for the use of
Polar participants as a "free space". The environment is a new Silicon
Graphics lab, where Olli Mannerkoski and Lassi Immonen will assist in
technical issues. All together 15 participants will be accepted to this
starting phase of Polar Circuit 2. (see the program for more details).
The second part of Polar Circuit 2 takes place in Tornio and Haparanda.
This session is hosted by the College of Art and Media in Tornio and the
Swedish-Finnish vocational institute in Haparanda, Sweden. (It is just a 10
minute walk across the border). This is the main event of the Polar
Circuit, bringing together 70 artists, writers and students from
approximately 15 different countries.
pc2@tornio includes, like last year, the free space where each artist or
student may work on their own projects either together or individually. The
workshop program is splendid: many artists have volunteered to exchange
their ideas with a group of likely motivated guests. There are worksohps
given by Adrianne Wortzel, Ken Gregory, Owen Kelly, Steven Bradley, Rasa
Smite and Raitis Smits, and others. Topics range from Sound art to on-line
drama, real audio to using Director on the Internet. One thing is common
with all workshops: bringing together a brainstorm to create new ideas.
The first year was produced 90% by myself (Tapio), I loved it, but this
year I will work on my own projects. I am very happy that Oli Mannerkoski,
Jeff Taylor, Merit Sahlberg, Amos Taylor, Maxim Narbrough and others are
helping to build the next event. There are technical coordinators and
responsible individuals for different tasks in this collaborative
environment.
In Rovaniemi, the workshop selection process is handled by Olli Mannerkoski
and Jeff Taylor. Organisational work is done by Amos Taylor and Maxim
Narbrough. In Tornio, the selection process is done by Tapio Mäkelä and the
organisational work by Merit Sahlberg.
All who participate are welcomed to join our new association called Polar
Circuit. It is the official body that organises the event in co-operation
with the two schools. Also, this event is part of a larger development
called ARCH (Art, Region, Commerce and the Hybrid Media), a set of local
art, youth and media projects that is, well, also coordinated by me.
Another affiliate project is Virtual Revolutions, a workshop series
produced by Iliyana Nedkova. vr@polar is one of the 4 meetings that lead to
a presentation in ISEA98.
What do you get if you come to Polar Circuit? The most important thing is
the time off from your own every day sphere, and the second is time to
spend with other artists and writers to explore. Thirdly, Polar Circuit is
arranged in a very well equipped environment (70 Macs, 20 Pentiums, 5
Intergraphs, 4 Avids, 2 Sadie & 2 Pro Tools sound edits in Tornio, and the
SGI lab in Rovaniemi). That should make intense work on your own projects
quite worth the trip.
We hope to offer housing for free in double rooms. However, at this point
of funding, we also want to know whether 50 USD rent for a month´s stay
would be a problem, if we were unlucky with that application for which
there is no decision yet. Last year we were able to offer housing for free.
If you want a single room, that would cost 100 USD per month. Access to the
labs is for free, the workshops are for free. The thing that does cost are
video tapes, removable media such as zip-drives, cd-rs, dat tapes etc.
Workshop teachers, who do not get any money for their effort, get a free
single room.
Like last year, all participants pay their own travel and food. Finnair
usually has a special rate for July, around 100 USD from Helsinki to
Lapland. Then add the air fare to Helsinki. We are looking into a
possibility to hire a bus, which would bring the whole bunch for a smaller
price either from Tallinn, Riga or Sofia. This would mean that from Central
Europe, there would be a very inexpensive option for roughly 40 people.
How to apply? Simply fill in the attached form and send it as an e-mail.
Once accepted, you can get an official Invitation letter by e-mailing Amos
Taylor <ataylor@levi.urova.fi>.
I hope that this year´s Polar Circuit will be even more successfull than
the first one - it is entirely up to all of you.
hope to hear from you soon,
Tapio Makela
<tapio@projekt.net>
(ps. Usually there are many who send an e-mail, "please send me more
information." Well, all that there is to tell at this point is here in this
e-mail... please approach Olli Mannerkoski <omannerk@levi.urova.fi> if you
want to discuss overall questions....)

INTERACTIVE VR-INSTALLATION
A workshop by Darij Kreuh
Slovenian artist Darij Kreuh has worked with interactive installations,
sound, as well as virtual objects. The concept of this installation and
workshop relates to a relationship between the body and technology by
refering to a conclusion that technology substitutes the corporal handicap
in the sense of techno-coded perception which enables an upgrade of natural
abilities within the digital environment. Communication and mastering of
such surroundings proceeds through the interface and the development of
suitable languages. The body's addiction to technology is, due to such a
structure, growing even bigger and more complex.
Digital space is a dead space until the presence of a user revives it
functionally and comprehensively. The revival hides the principal construct
of the concept for the workshop.
Equipment: MediaSpace - immersive space, Silicon Graphics Onyx2 & O2
workstations.
Technical assistance by Olli Mannerkoski ja Lassi Immonen.

All of the following workshops take place in July and last 2-4 weeks. In
addition to the projects that each artist is doing on their own, you are
recommened to apply for three workshops in preference order. However, you
may only access one. But in the Polar Circuit, everyone has the chance to
talk to everyone, so you can catch up on what happens in other workshops
that interest you. The reason why we want to limit the number of people in
each workshop is to keep them dialogic and productive.

**ws6 DIRECT (OR) TO INTERNET
Owen Kelly
London based Owen Kelly is a teacher and a researcher of new media culture.
He is a wizard of, not oz, but lingo. In the Polar Circuit workshop the
main aim is to study how to connect to Internet using Director, how to
creat hybrid, innovative techniques instead of the standard browser
solutions. Those who participate should have basic skills in Director,
hopefully version 6.0, and some skills in Lingo. The content of the
projects that will be realized will be produced through brain storming.

**ws8 DOBBELGÄNGER - MEDIA DOUBLES (collaborative workshop)
Many contemporary artists work with the concept of the double identity, or
double self; in writing and on-line. How is "self" presented on-line? What
are forged selves and created avatars? This topic is both theoretical and
imaginative and takes a lot of discussion and research. Space for net
projects.
At least the following have shown strong interest in moderating:
Owen Kelly and David Casacuberta.
A drive in workshop where many people during pc2 can contribute.

**ws9 VIRTUAL REVOLUTIONS
Iliyana Nedkova, Andreas Broeckmann, Javor Raitchev and TM
A series of workshops that begins from Sofia, goes on to Rotterdam,
Salford, Liverpool. This workshop has a separate selection process, based
on earlier call. So, vr@polar will look into issues of virtual migrants and
refugees, issues of ethnic identity in a virtual geography, at least. But
mostly the participants brain storm & discuss to produce new ideas.
pre selected group - but there will be a vr@polar campfire for wider
discussion!
((if you have already applied to this one, but have not been selected, you
can still apply to polar circuit as a whole))

**ws10 WRITING REAL TIME - ENGAGING THEORY
Andreas Broeckmann, Tapio Mäkelä with others
This workshop is aimed at critical writers to develop ways in which media
art, shown at different events, could be discussed during the public event.
What could be the form and forum for a real time critique? How could new
media tools be used to enhance communication also in the situations where

**ws11 STORIES FROM THE ATTICK
Steve Bradley, Tapio Mäkelä
This is a project, part of ARCH (Art, Region, Commerce and Hybird Media)
project cradle. Steve Bradley and 12 local students seek for stories in the
atticks of Tornio and Haparanda, using both stored objects and memories by
people. A borderless net-town will be created based on the experiences.
Polar Circuit visiting artists are encouraged to contribute small web based
impressions of the local area for this project.

**ws12 NET OF ARTISTS -
A Documentary on the Polar Circuit Workshop
Juha Huusko
A local student in his last year, Juha Huusko will do his final work during
Polar Circuit. He will interview the artists and document the life and work
@polar.circuit. The aim of the work is to look at how the net works as a
social stimulant that creates real life events, contacts and relationsips.
Where do the artists come from? What kind of cultural luggage they have
with them?
Visitors to Polar Circuit are asked to donate small video travel stories to
be used as material in the documentary: footage from the place where you
are when you start your journey to Lapland.
