Mailing list details at bottom. * * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * on the archaeology of new media for the special issue: * * "Before and After Cinema"* * CORRECTION: Submission deadline for this issue is 30 October 1998 For Volume 5, No. 2 of the Journal (1999) we are seeking papers relating to research projects or case studies on the archaeology of new media. This special issue is prompted by the question: Is it possible to analyse and "historicise" the study of digital media in the same way that cinema scholars and art historians have revised certain teleological accounts of cinema's evolution? In particular, we are looking for papers that deal with the possible parallels that might be drawn between the two areas of research -- cinema and new media: * historical accounts of cinema, radio, music, television, video and other electronic artforms that throw light upon and draw relation to current developments in the field of new media * case studies of corporate and/or aesthetic strategies dealing with the impact of new technologies on "old" (existing) media * theoretical and/or historical articles that deal critically with the evolution of new media forms, from the 19th century to the present * analyses of the convergence of the institutions of cinema with new formations of media enterprises in the digital age * analyses of specific artworks or products in light of the complex historical, technological and economic forces that influence them This issue will be guest-edited by Ross Rudesch Harley, lecturer in Theatre/Film Studies, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. All inquiries about, proposals for articles or completed papers for the "Before and After Cinema" issue should be sent to: Ross Rudesch Harley Theatre/Film Studies University of New South Wales Sydney 2052 Australia tel: 61.2.9385 4867 fax: 61.2.96622335 email: r.harley@unsw.edu.au All other editorial inquiries, general proposals and submissions to: Julia Knight or Alexis Weedon, Editors, Convergence, School of Media Arts, University of Luton, 75 Castle Street, Luton, LU1 3AJ, United Kingdom.

Buy time to generate benefits for a charitable organization. A French artist Fred Forest, a pionneer in technological art and communication, well known across Europe by his spectacular media feats, is now diverting the Internet e-trade system in aid of a humanitarian society upholding the poor children in the Third World countries. Fred Forest, who had the communication prize at the Sao Paulo Biennal Festival, who represented France at the Venice Biennal Festival and at Kassel’s Documenta, had already drawn attention to himself in October 1996 by creating a world event, selling an unreal digital work, Parcelle/réseau (Particle/net), by auction, at Hôtel Drouot in Paris, for $14,000 (http://www.imaginet.fr), and by making a case against the Centre Georges Pompidou because of refusing to pass on the price of their acquisitions, contrary to the 1978 French law about the transparency of public accounts (http://www.nart.fr). We, who always chase after time and who never have time enough, are from now on, with Fred Forest the artist, able to buy some on Internet using the secured Klebox system. This bought time may be used up either immediately, on the spot, in real time, or at the moment the user considers the best one. The offered time is sold by seconds, minutes or hours, in aid of Aide et Action (Aid & Act), a humanitarian society for childness, by direct removal of your virtual purse. Look at the article, selling time, on http://www.fredforest.com. On another hand, Fred Forest, on his own site « J'arrête le temps » (I stop the time), proposes on line : • A SOFRES survey about our links to the time ; • A free feet checkroom for you to be absolutely immobilized during the time of the deal ; • Safety instructions you have to fully respect to prevent any accident ; • Chronicles from Earth illustrating our relationship with time and money. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- http://www.fredforest.com fax : 33 1 42 87 97 O8 E.mail : forester@worldnet.fr Artiste et Professeur des Universités Titulaire de la Chaire des Sciences de l'Information et la Communication ..........................3............................

Pierre Bélanger, Secretary General (elect), UNDA. "Roberge speaks with images and puts the image in the service of his heart. A refined book, a book of reflection and salt." Pierre Babin, CREC AVEX. About the book: The book has three interrelated parts. Parts One and Two probe various aspects of communication and cinema, respectively, in the context of so-called development. Part Three exemplifies the arguments of Parts One and Two through analysis of a few films, author films and popular films, >from India, Bangladesh and the USA. Cinema plays a vital role in the life of our people. Indian movie stars shine both on the silver screen and in golden politics, and the Indian masses enter the films they watch to step out the other side of the screen into their reality, programmed, as it were, by the dreams which the films gave them. There is need for a serious reflection on the link between communication, cinema and development. Development is seen in this book as an international project that has little to offer to those most in need. After over forty years of development, on the ever of the year 2000, there are more jobless, poor, sick, and homeless thane ever before. These are the facts, indeed the people, that confront us. We must see the limitations of development and create new, much more radical projects. For that we need a lot of hope. This book seeks to arouse hope in the midst an awareness of our failures. After all, hope can have no other context.

X-Sender: (Unverified) Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 20:40:02 +0000 To: sandra.fauconnier@rug.ac.be From: Matthew Fuller <matt@axia.demon.co.uk> Subject: Hack-It 98 announcement Status: RO X-Status: Hack-It 98 Frequently Asked Questions ver. 0.1 - March, 25 1998 This document contains some answers to the most frequently asked questions about Hack-IT 98.=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index Getting Started What is Hack-IT 98? Where? When? How? How much? Computers and other tools Will we have an Internet connection? =20 Will we have a LAN? Will I have computers to work on? Can I bring my own computer? What else will I need? May I bring various electronic equipment? Logistics Where to sleep Where to eat Services How to get there Programme (in progress) Courses Workshops Info ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Getting started --------------- What is Hack-IT 98? Hack-IT 98 cannot be defined in one way only. It is an open-air festival, a meeting, a hacking party, a pause for reflection, an occasion of public learning, an act of rebellion and an exchange of ideas, experiences, dreams, utopias and love. What characterises Hack-IT 98 is our wish to live these three days completely self-organised basing ourselves on our needs. Hack-IT 98 is a SELF-ORGANISED event: there are neither organisers nor users, but only participants. Where? In Italy, in a squat in Florence named C.P.A. (Centro Popolare Autogestito, Popular Self-Organised Centre), Viale Giannotti 79, Florence. Tel and Fax ++ 39 55 6580151 When? On Friday 5th, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of June, 1998. If you wish and if you have time, you can join Hack-IT 98 several days before the starting date, in order to help organise the event, install the LAN and do whatever might be useful. How? How you wish! The C.P.A. offers a large area where you can pleasantly spend your days and nights during the meeting. There will be a self-organised camping site, so bring your tent and everything you might need. How much? Do you have to pay to participate to Hack-IT 98? Of course not.=20 Hack-IT 98 is a no-profit event and nobody will make money out of it.=20 In order to cover expenses we will organise a few concerts and other social events; to attend these a small fare will be requested. In the eventuality that the expenses should be too high, a small subscription fee will be requested to all participants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Computers and other tools ------------------------- Will we have an Internet connection? The answer is almost certainly "yes". Although during Hack-IT 98 people are not meant to work on computers or to navigate on the net, we believe it is important to be connected at all times. We cannot guarantee the quality of the connection (probably some ISDN lines) but we hope to give you more information asap. Will we have a LAN? Yes! For the LAN question also, we cannot provide you with further technical details as everything is still in progress. Most probably the LAN will be based on TCP/IP. Will I have computers to work on? The answer doesn't depend on us. We can guarantee connectivity and the LAN, but have no idea of how many computers will be available. Bring your own computer (laptop or not!), your ethernet adapter, your hubs and so on. The LAN will be in continual progress! So please read these FAQ as often as you can, as the information will be continually updated. Can I bring my own computer? Of course! It would be an excellent idea if everyone interested in using a computer during Hack-IT 98 brings his own. Sheltered tables and rooms will be available. What else do I need? If you want to connect your computer to the LAN and to the net, you will surely need a LAN Adapter. If you don't have one, you can buy one for about 30$ in any computer shop. If you want to connect your laptop or your non-IBM computer, you will have to spend a little more. May I bring various electronic equipment? Of course! You can bring whatever you want: radios, pagers, radioscanners, toasters etc. etc. The more you bring with you, the more Hack-IT 98 will be fun :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Logistics --------- Where to sleep If you want to live the true atmosphere of Hack-IT 98, the C.P.A. offers a large area where you can place your tent or sleeping bag. A tent is not necessary but useful, both for your comfort and your privacy during the event. Unfortunately we are in a metropolitan area, so do not expect lawns and greenery. We will have to sleep on the hard cement! An inflatable matress will allow you to go back home without a stiff neck! If all this is just too much, you can book a hotel, but it will cost you a lot more... A list of hotels will be posted later. Where to eat The C.P.A. is known for its good Italian cooking and good-looking cooks! You can eat well at the C.P.A. without spending a fortune. Special attention will be given to Vegetarians and Vegans. If you don't want to eat at the C.P.A., there are many restaurants, pizzerias, supermarkets and shops of every kind in the neighbourhood. Services WCs and showers will be installed for the event. How to get there Florence is - we think - a well-known place. The best way to reach it is by train, plane, bus or car (but not by boat!). Detailed information on how to reach the C.P.A. will be given later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Programme (in progress) ----------------------- -- Courses in basic network technology -- For people with average skills in computer usage.=20 The course will teach how to use the basic services offered by the most popular networks. The course will probably be open to a limited number of participants. Information on pre-registration will be given later. -- Cryptography and anonimity on the networks -- For people with an average knowledge of network technology. The course wishes to show how to defend your privacy by using several techniques (cryptography, steganography, PGP, anonymous remailers etc). The course will probably be open to a limited number of participants. Information on pre-registration will be given later. -- Workshops -- The backbone of Hack-IT 98 will be a series of self-organised workshops. Everybody can propose and carry out his own workshop. All we ask is that you inform us as soon as you can what your ideas and proposals are. A reminder: most of Hack-IT 98 will be in Italian=85 Here are few proposals for possible workshops: - Knowledge within the Net (by Ferry Byte) Knowledge as an instrument of self-defence. Is cryptography just a way of protecting privacy, or also a way of protecting copyright? Distance learning and distance working in Italy - the exchange of knowledge through the net. Guest speakers are: Net Diver, Tommaso Tozzi, Arturo di Corinto, The Walrus, Raf Valvola, Zero BBS, Stefano Lotti, Anna Carola Freschi - History of information technology (by Renato Pii) - Packet Radio and wireless digital transmissions (by Andrea Bov) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Info ---- You can join the mailing list hackmeetin@kyuzz.org.
