This is the free speech internet television newsletter for Friday,
June 5, 1998, sent to those who have requested a subscription to
www.freespeech.org and to relevant members of the press.
ITEM: Free Speech Internet Television announces a $2000 prize for
best use of streaming audio/video for positive social change
Free Speech Internet Television Announces $2000 Prize
Free Speech Internet Television announced a $2000
prize for the best online audio/video presentation demonstrating the
Internet's potential for the global distribution of democratic,
progressive media.
The award is a part of FSitv's "freespeech online video festival,"
also announced today, a year-long celebration of the thousands of
independent filmmakers, journalists, and activists who are turning to
online audio and video as primary--rather than a novel--forms of
communication. "For the typically underbudgeted indie production,
streaming audio and video technologies like RealNetworks' RealSystem
are a lifeline, an inexpensive, global distribution mechanism," said
Joey Manley, Free Speech Internet Television's director, from his
Boulder, Colorado offices.
Submissions for the freespeech online video festival must be made
online, via FTP or MIME e-mail attachment, before March 1, 1999, in
any format playable in RealNetworks' G2 Player. "We chose G2 because
it supports multiple datatypes--not just proprietary ones--and
because it conforms to the W3C's SMIL recommendation." (SMIL, or
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language, is an HTML-like mark-up
syntax for synchronizing various media elements, such as audio,
video, and text, in one presentation). "Of course, the other reason
is that RealPlayer is by far the best and the most popular streaming
multimedia viewer out there," Manley added. The Grand Prize winner
will be selected by FSitv's registered users, and announced June 5,
1999.
Submission guidelines and festival bylaws may be viewed online:
Free Speech Internet Television was founded in 1995 to support and
shape the use of multimedia technologies on the Internet for
progressive social change, and to present the best activist and
multicultural audio/video programming to Internet audiences. The
site has been featured in Wired, MSNBC's The Site, the Wall Street
Journal, Cool Site of the Day, and numerous other online, broadcast,
and print outlets. In 1998, Free Speech Internet Television was
honored by RealNetworks with a Streamers Award, in the "Make-It-
Happen" category, for the best inspirational and motivational use of
streaming media.

LEADER
Giant corporations, dwarf states *
by Ignacio Ramonet
The power of the state is in retreat before an onslaught of giant
corporates, fuelled by a frenzy of privatisation. The recent
mega-mergers confirm the process of globalisation is beyond the
control of governments, but should citizens accept it?

NO OPTION BUT COOPERATION, DESPITE CONFLICTING INTERESTS
Russia and America at odds in the Gulf *
by Alain Gresh
On a visit to Israel at the end of May, a United States Congress
delegation led by Republican Newt Gingrich and Democrat Richard
Gephardt confirmed its support for Binyamin Netanyahu's hard line
and its opposition to any attempt by Washington to put pressure on
Israel. But the Israeli-Palestinian deadlock is complicating US
strategy in the Gulf. Unable to mobilise its Arab allies against
Iraq, America is also encountering reticence on the part of the
European countries and running up against an increasingly
independent Russia.

WILL THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS DO ANY BETTER THAN THE RIGHT IN GERMANY?
Elections offer brief respite from crisis *
by Mathias Greffrath
In Germany, the Christian Democrats are in danger of losing the
election on 27 September and Chancellor Helmut Kohl, in power since
1982, may have to step down. Opinion polls at the end of May gave
Social Democrat Gerhard Schröder a clear lead. But the Germans are
not exactly thrilled by the alternative on offer. The trouble is
that the Social Democrat candidate has not put the real choice
between different kinds of society at the heart of his campaign.

Organising against child labour *
by Claire Brisset
The facts about the world's child labourers are only now beginning
to be understood for the international scandal and the economic
folly that they are. A scandal, because it deprives millions of
them of their childhood; and a folly, because it denies them any
hope of education, and thus seriously undermines their countries'
hopes of economic lift-off.

COMUNICATO STAMPA
NOTTURNO e' il titolo dell'iniziativa che il CRT, Centro di Ricerca per il
Teatro di MIlano, realzzera' per Milano d'Estate nelle serate doi sabato 20
e domenica 21 giugno presso il CRT Teatro dell'Arte e Parco Sempione.
Riprendendo in parte una suggestione su cui il CRT spesso ha lavorato in
anni meno recenti con la manifestazione "Si come luce", sara' possibile
rivivere con due magiche serate il Parco Sempione e il Teatro dell'Arte con
danze, canti, musica e teatro. A questa iniziativa parteciperanno numerosi
artisti, musicisti e attori provenienti da esperienze diverse. GIOVANNA
MARINI, prima di tutto, con il suo entourage di quaranta coristi e
musicisti torna al Teatro dell'Arte con "Concerto per Giacomo Lepardi",
un'opera per coro e quartetto d'archi di struggente intensita' e bellezza.
Il Parco a sua volta sara' animato da presenze fantasmatiche, creature
della notte che prenderanno vita in quella strana vegetazione metroplitana
che' e' il Parco Sempione, una commistione di natura e citta', degrado e
riscatto della bellezza. Sara' una concertazione di suoni, danze, poesia
con nuclearita' performative che vedranno danzare MONICA FRANCIA, che
lavorera' con l'energia che la contraddsitingue accampagnata da venti
giovani danzatori, e REBECCA MURGI, giovane talento della danza italiana
assai apprezzata al'estero.
Le due danzatrici saranno coordinate, nel loro lavoro coreografico sul tema
del "Notturno", all'interno dell'evento multimediale "Sophon Sophia" del
gruppo teatrale GIARDINI PENSILI di Rimini che da tredici anni si occupa di
ricerca sul linguaggio e sui sistemi della comunicazione attraverso la
produzione di opere teatrali e musicali, installazioni, progetti
interdisciplinari.
Con NOTTURNO il CRT intende avviare un processo di ricostruzione
dell'immagine della citta' di notte alla ricerca di una visione dell'arte
totale, in cui convivano nello stesso luogo e nello stesso tempo diverse
attivita' artistiche.
NOTTURNO si configura anche come l'ultimo anello di una catena iniziata con
"Grado Zero", festa delle arti e dello spettacolo, che ha inaugurato la
stagione 1997-98 all'insegna dello scambio e della contaminazione tra le
arti.

Subject: Cached 5: CURATING THE NET seminar at ICA on 20 June 1998 (GH)
Cached 5: CURATING THE NET
Saturday 20 June 1998 from 11am-5.30pm at the
INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, THE MALL, LONDON
Cached 5: CURATING THE NET is a one day seminar event addressing the
collaborative role played by artists and curators in developing on-line
arts projects.
Increasingly, sites which are organised as continuously programmed art
spaces, as on line 'galleries', or as thematic exhibitions provide an
important alternative for artists and audiences. This seminar will ask if
experimental net organisations which commission and develop web or net art
projects with artists can build regular audiences and create an identity
which represents more than the sum of the individual works they present.
Curating the Net will also look at the issues that arise for artists.
Given that the net gives artists the opportunity to work outside
organisational structures, the seminar will address how curated projects
either contribute to or challenge the artist's working process.
Participants include:
* Benjamin Weil, New York based curator and originator of äda 'web, one of
the most high profile and innovative internet arts organisations. äda 'web
has commissioned and hosted a wide range of projects with artists such as
Jenny Holzer, Jodi and General Idea.
* Alexei Shulgin, Moscow based curator and artist whose work on projects
like Moscow WWWart Centre, Refresh and the Ars Electronica 97 On Line
exhibitions have linked artists and net groups across Europe.
* Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie have developed a collaborative practice that
reflect ongoing inter-relationships, their projects include A hypertext
Journal and Homespun.
* Graham Gussin current work includes a commission for Tumblong a UK /
Australian on line project in which artists respond to 'virtual artefacts'
(co-produced by the Laboratory, Oxford).
* Shu Lea Cheang, currently developing the web project Brandon (with the
Guggenheim , NYC and other international organisations). Other on-line work
includes The Bowling Alley (with the Walker Art Centre, Minneapolis) and
Buy One Get One (with ICC, Tokyo)
Other speakers and respondents in the panel and round table sessions
include Helen Sloan (independent curator and organiser), Pauline Broekman
(Metamute), Michael Gibbs (Why not sneeze?), David Sinden (Channel), Simon
Faithful (Containership) and Peter Ride (Imag@nation). Cached 5 will be
documented on the Channel website at http://www.channel.org.uk/cached
Cached 5: CURATING THE NET on 20 JUNE at ICA LONDON, 11am- 5.30pm
£15 (£10 members) booking is essential. Please telephone 0171 930 0493 or
info@ica.org.uk
