Date: Fri, 08 May 1998 09:23:14 -0500 From: Bram Dov Abramson <bram@tao.ca> Subject: 2nd announcement: Virtual Conference [Cette annonce est egalement disponible en francais.] [Este mensaje existe tambien en espanol.] Virtual Conference: The Right to Communicate and the Communication of Rights 11 May - 26 June 1998 This is the second of two announcements for the Virtual Conference on the Right to Communicate and the Communication of Rights, starting Monday, 11 May. Registration for working group discussions has now started. Videazimut is an international alliance bringing together independent video and television organizations and practitioners from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America around an agenda for the democratization of communication -- an essential component of sustainable development and democratic society. 1998 marks the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In its declaration of principles, Videazimut aligns itself with a growing consensus on the right to communicate as a fundamental human right. We are therefore holding a Virtual Conference from 11 May to June 26 1998, aimed at generating and disseminating fresh thinking on communication and human rights. Held in conjunction with the International Development Research Centre (Canada) and the Canadian International Development Agency, this Virtual Conference is our contribution to the community of events marking the UDHR's 50th anniversary. You are invited to take part in the Virtual Conference, which is being hosted by PanAsia Networking... <http://www.PanAsia.org.sg/conferen.htm> .. and which can be accessed directly here: <http://commposite.uqam.ca/videaz>. Participants are asked to join one of five working groups over a 5-week period. In each working group, 1-3 short papers will be circulated each Tuesday morning, forming the basis for the following week's discussion. Discussion will take place over e-mail -- filtered through moderators to avoid information overload -- supplemented by a WWW resource with conference papers and archives of the discussion. Participants will receive *no more than* two e-mail digests daily. A weekly summary will be posted each Monday afternoon, for those who have not been able to keep up, before passing to the next topic. The working groups: (1) legal perspectives (2) institutional perspectives (3) gender perspectives (4) cultures of globalization: perspectives (5) civic education and public memory: perspectives. A plenary session will take place during the final week. The Virtual Conference's official languages are English, Spanish, French. All participants may submit their comments in any of these languages, with the help of a volunteer translation team. The Virtual Conference is co-presented by COMMposite, the French-language student journal of communication, with the collaboration of meep! media, a Montreal-based internet and intranet consultancy.

"trimm dich" - the motto of the gathering - has been borrowed from a west german 1970s campaign for public health and means: get fit! we are looking forward to hearing from you! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: mikro e.v. info@mikro.org Ackerstrasse 1 D-10115 Berlin Tel.: +49 30 282 18 67 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) convex tv. http://www.art-bag.net/convextv office: [test bed], schlegelstrasse 26/27, d-10115 berlin phone++49 30 28384103/++49 30 2925936 fax ++49 30 44053039 ses@art-bag.net (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((05.98))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) 'there's a bandwidth playing on the radio' (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((+))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ...........................................5..........

From: info@timesup.org Date: Tue, 12 May 1998 00:19:41 +0200 Subject: Call for Papers CTL98 Theory and Practice Many of you will have received the call for proposals posted on this and other lists late in 1997 under the rubric "Closing the Loop 98". In this notice we called for pseudo- and popular- scientists, artists, engineers and other interested parties to take part in a series of experiments in the Time's Up Laboratories in the Linz Harbour through 1998. As a result of the response, and based upon our own developing work on various aspects of the CTL methodology and approach, we would like to start a discussion on a more theoretical level with pseudoscientists and other interested entities. Are you a pseudoscientist? "We hereby reclaim the notion of pseudoscience from the dangerous misanthropes, misguided fools and assorted miscreants that have been labeled with it. We claim pseudoscience as a source of life and flavour, a way of approaching work in the world that loses the life-threatening deadness of creation science or elixir-toting quacks, even that professional cynicism of that bugbear of rationality writ large, the institutional scientist. We are pseudoscientists, and we are here to make waves. None of this accretion of results in a Baconian evolution with outbreaks of paradigm shifting as per the Kuhn model. No, pseudoscience is for those who never lost the glint in the eye from those kiddie scientist stories, who really believed they could change the world from the back garage, and who aren't yet sure that they can't." (excerpt from "The Theory of Hypercompetition", in preparation) As a part of the CTL 98 series, we would like to invite various interested parties to a meeting of minds in the Labs of Time's Up, late in June 1998. Prior to this, we would like to frame the discussion with some to-and-fro, some scene-setting chats.

Peter Lunenfeld from the ITA in Los Angeles will talk about alternative currents emerging on the West Coast which are combining new media, art and "doing science." Korinna Patelis from Goldsmith's College in London will talk about how Europeans are developing their own public service approach to digital convergence. Their presentations will be followed by a chaired discussion. What do you think lies beyond the Californian Ideology? Peter Lunenfeld Director of the Institute for Technology & Aesthetics (ITA), Lunenfeld offers a subjective view of Southern California's new media scene - raising questions about the aesthetics of Demo or Die and the relationship between local geography, human networks and schools of thought.
