Bill Albertini
The mutability of "fact" has been accelerated by changes in the way
information is transubtantiated: new media developments have
materialized data. During the last quarter century this info-stuff
has become what iron and coal was to the nineteenth century. Lead
may have been holographed into gold, the emperor may have new (no)
clothes, and now at the very least we have the digital tools to
reopen arguments about the number of angels that can fit on the head
of a pin. Revisionism is a reality, contemporary mythology is a
fact, and history is a misnomer.
The interface for Bill Albertini's "Viewer" consists of an image of
a desk with a computer, a TV monitor tuned into a dead channel, and
a mysterious white cube. Once you click on the cube's surface, the
little monitor appears on top of it, and is then transformed into
morphing shapes. Clicking on the image of either the computer screen
or the monitor will present differing perspectives on what you're
seeing on your computer screen. The viewer may easily get the
feeling of being trapped in the small world on the screen that can
do nothing but reflect on itself.
The work of Bill Albertini has been exhibited extensively over the
last 15 years. Recently he exhibited a series of digital drawings at
Horodner Romley Gallery, New York. These drawings featured a
completely accurate computer generated model of the gallery
containing "virtual sculptures" of varying degrees of impossibility.
Part of a much larger body of work utilizing the possibilities of
the computer, these drawings continue the artist's investigation
into the imaginary cultural artifact, the nature of memory and
history. Bill Albertini was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1954. His
training includes: Yale School of Art, MFA; Crawford School of Art,
Cork, Ireland; Ravensbourne College of Art and Design, Bromley,
Kent,.

SUNDAY EXTRA PAGES OF NEW YORK DAILY NEWS.
THIS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6th.
ME
The bald white boy with a black shirt modeling a cheap tie.
HEY
If you like what you see then consider this:
------------------------------
PROPOSITION
Looking for an ahistorical/symbolic threesome in the New York area. Do you
like the term 'restless culture'? Are you a convoluted 'lifetime in
progress'?
DATE FUN
Lets spend the night together in just our underwear and don't touch at all
and just talk about how to emulate the feeling of perpetual drunkenness and
lets take polaroids of one another washing dishes or preparing couscous and
then trade them with one another and not sleep all night and then look at
the polaroids the next day after our moments together are lived and then we
will not feel so bad and we will be happy ahppy happy knowing these are the
good times and mortality really is laughable and all is not simulated,
engendered and of high velocity.
CONCEPT
We will call this an Exposure Version 1.0
PLEASE
Neo-nihilists-smash the state types, newly elevated conscious types,
disconcerted fashionably jaded post-mod types and/or idealistic neo-hippie
political activists need NOT apply.
Must be mature professional and discreet.

Art Station is part of a degree project in the MA interactive multimedia
course in the LCP, London Institute, it provokes questions about the
influence of the Internet on art and art exhibition. It is also challenging
the definitions of art and art curating in the Internet era.
I would appreciate Nettimers feedback on the idea and include this feedback
in the project.
Art Station (www.artstation.co.uk) allows every visitor to submit artworks
and curate an exhibition.
The idea is to democratise art through the net.
Some of the questions Art Station is asking are:
Who is the artist?
Who is the curator?
Where is the gallery?
Art Station's suggested answers are:
The artist is everyone
We open the gallery walls to everyone who wants to make art:
Visitors will be able to send artworks via e-mail.
People will be able to create artworks in art galleries. These artworks will
be scanned into the online exhibition.
Additional creation centres in various places.
The curator is the visitor
The curating process in Art Station is democratic:
The public will have the ability to comment and react to each artwork and to
select the artworks they would like to add to their own privet exhibition.
A special on line exhibition will present the most popular choices at any
moment.
The gallery is real and virtual
The exhibition will be presented in two places simultaneously:
Art gallery =F1 projected on walls
On line web site
Art Station will be projected in a private room in the ICA gallery in
London
on the 28-29 of September as part of final exhibition of the MA interactive
multimedia course in the LCP, London Institute.

New Book Release:
Memory Trade: A Prehistory of Cyberculture
By Darren Tofts and Murray McKeich
The notion of "culture" is changing at the speed of information itself
Computer technology is creating a new kind of public, a Cyberculture
with all its utopian and apocalyptic possibilities. But is it that
new? Popular debate generally ignores Cyberculture's historical
context. The official history begins in the 19th century and tracks
the evolution of telecommunications, the egalitarian dream of the
global village, and the emergence of the military industrial complex.
However this omits the deeper, prehistory of technological
transformations of culture that are everywhere felt but nowhere seen
in the telematic landscape of the late-twentieth century. Cyberculture
is an extension, rather than innovation, of human engagement with
communication and information technologiesA work of archaeology,
Memory Trade scrapes away the surfaces of the contemporary world to
detect the sedimentary traces of the past. A past that inflects the
present with the echoes of ancient, unresolved philosophical questions
about the relationships between humans and technology, creativity and
artifice, reality and representations of reality.
Memory Trade is an exploration, in text and image, of the unconscious
of Cyberculture, its silent, secret prehistory. From Plato's Cave to
Borges' literary labyrinths, Freud's Mystic Writing-Pad, and Joyce's
reinvention of language in Finnegans Wake, Memory Trade is a
palimpsest of contemporary culture.
Darren Tofts is Senior Lecturer in Literature at Swinburne University
of Technology in Melbourne. His essays on theory, media arts and new
writing technologies have appeared in publications such as 21*C, World
Art, Mesh, Social Semiotics and UTS Review. He is a member of the
editorial board of Continuum and is a contributing editor to RealTime.
Murray McKeich is an award-winning digital artist who's work has
featured in such magazines as 21*C and World Art. He teaches digital
imaging in the Dept. of Creative Media at RMIT and has worked as an
advertising art director and illustrator.

Blackchair Productions' "Independent Exposure 1999" Program
Seattle video and film artist, Joel S. Bachar founded Blackchair Productions
in 1992. Due to the overwhelming lack of independent-oriented screening
venues, Blackchair Productions began the "Independent Exposure" microcinema
screening program in 1996. This program, held every month at the Speakeasy
Cafe has presented the works of over 200 artists from 30 states, 65 cities
and 11 countries and has gained an enviable reputation in the network of
microcinemas around the country as well as around the world. 1999, the
fourth season of the program, will be partially funded by the King County
Cultural Arts Commission which means the artists whose works are shown will
be paid an honorarium, a gesture that is practically unheard of in the
independent film and video arts. "Independent Exposure" is fast reaching a
wider audience by being hosted at other microcinemas throughout the world
and has been seen hundreds of times in 33 cities, 15 states and 13
countries! Some of the hosting venues have been: CinemaTexas (Austin, TX);
The Knitting Factory (New York City); School of the Art Institute of
Chicago; The Museum of the Rhode Island School of Design; The Mansion
Theatre (Baltimore, MD); Arizona International Film Festival (Tucson, AZ);
Tortured Artists Film Festival (Tacoma, WA); Artist's Television Access (San
Francisco, CA); The Casting Couch (San Francisco); Eye for an I Cinema
(Boulder, CO); North Carolina Independent Filmmakers Association; The Can
(Tacoma, WA); Project304 (Bangkok, Thailand); The Terminal Bar (Prague,
Czech Republic); the Vrij Media Cafe (The Netherlands) and The Soros Center
for Contemporary Art (Republic of Macedonia); Split Film Festival (Split,
Croatia). Arrangements are currently being made for screenings in Los
Angeles, Melbourne (Australia), France, Denmark, Germany, Serbia, Croatia,
England, Northern Ireland and Winnipeg (Canada)! Additionally, the program
is netcast every month on The Sync (www.thesync.com). Ultimately, Blackchair
Productions, through their "Independent Exposure" screening program and
other advoca= cy efforts, hope to expose, promote and distribute the
independent video and film arts to the widest audience possible.
For those interested, here is our 1999 Call for Works (which differs from
previous years):
Blackchair Productions is accepting video, film and computer-art submissions
on an ongoing basis for their monthly screening program called "Independent
Exposure." 1999 begins the program's fourth year and we want to include
you in the show! Artists will be paid an Honorarium! We are looking for
experimental, narrative, humorous, dramatic, erotic, subversive, animation
and underground works, but will review anything for a possible screening.
Works selected will, in most cases, continue on to national and
international venues for additional screenings. Submit a VHS (or S-VHS)
clearly labeled with name, title, length, phone-number along with any
support materials including photos! Also include a US$5.00 entry fee which
will be returned to you if your work is not selected! Include an SASE if you
wish the work(s) returned. We will get back to you!
Send submissions to: Blackchair Productions, 2318 Second Ave., #313-A,
Seattle, WA, 98121, USA. Info/details: 206-568-6051, joel@speakeasy.org,

Next 5 Minutes 3
Festival for Tactical Media
Amsterdam & Rotterdam, 12-14 March, 1999
The third Next 5 Minutes, an Amsterdam based conference on tactical
communications culture, featuring DIY media, dissident art and electronic
media activists, from around the world, will take place on the 12, 13 and
14 of March 1999.
The net as a medium has by now been well established, both in discourse as
well as practice. N5M3 will move beyond the mere assertion of this new
medium and question what the wider social, cultural and political impact
is of the fact that virtually all media are now turning digital, and of
the new political and economic constellations that evolve around the new
(global) information and communication structures. This subject matter
will be taken on at two levels: a structural examination of empowering
strategies in the new informational environments which focuses on the
notion of 'Tactical Networks', and a more intrinsic analysis which
concentrates on the idea of 'Electronic Borders'. The latter refers to the
fact that in the information societies, social, political and also
cultural divisions are increasingly drawn along the lines of electronic
media.
N5M3 is centered around four topics for discussion:
1. The Art of Campaigning
The 'Art of Campaigning' focuses on the media strategies employed by
groups around the world who are fostering their social and political aims
via media campaigns. There are a number of examples of such campaigns that
use highly diverse strategies and types of media, like the Clean Clothes
Campaign and the Bandwidth campaign at the Hybrid Workspace during
Documenta X in the summer of '97 in Kassel, Germany. Campaigns and the
specific media strategies they employ will be an important topic for N5M3.
2. How Low Can You Go
In the 'we want bandwidth' campaign (summer 97), the economic and
political structures of access were investigated. The reduction to a
technical term ('bandwidth': the transmission capacity of an electronic
information system) revealed how deeply political the construction of
technology is, and how dramatic its social effects. The new movements for
the promotion of low-tech, i.e. cheap, established and accessible
technology, will be presented, discussed, and developed at N5M3.
3. Tactical Education
Besides the formal learning institutions, education is happening all the
time in cultural and social contexts where people exchange ideas and
experiences in a concentrated way. Art, culture and social action in the
field of new media technologies contribute in an important way to creating
awareness about the powerful effects of media, and help to raise
media-literacy N5M3 wishes to explore new models of education that can
play a critical role in processes of social and political change.
4. The Post-Governmental Organisation
NGO's (Non Governmental Organisations) have become important actors in the
arena of international and global politics, but at the same time they have
also become bureaucratic structures that act as a 'state without the
state'. The PGO debate concentrates on new ways of organising social,
cultural and political action, often on an international level, beyond the
politics of the nation state as well as beyond the NGO. The tactical use
of networking technologies has proven to be a powerful tool to develop
effective strategies for these new types of post governmental
organisations. Many examples of the new PGO type of organisations and
networks will be presented at N5M3.
Structure of the Event
N5M3 will be a working conference, which will consist of a focused public
program surrounded by many smaller scale working sessions, seminars and
workshops. The focus of the event will be on exchange of ideas,
experience, working methods, and the construction of long-term
partnerships and network structures.

===========+++++++++++===========
You should also know that the Church of the Utterly Ridiculous
project >>> THE MASS PROPER in the TERRORDOME <<< is nearing
TRANSUBSTANTIATION with more performances tonight (on higher
ground to Die Kunst vs Revolting - and all evening) and a final LIVE
performance >> BAPTISM of CHOIR << scheduled for 7 pm Saturday 19.
COMMUNION from 6 pm before this LAST RITE only.
The piece revolves in a geodesic dome enclosing raked seats which
are at the epicentre of a 36-source hi-fidelity installation
with non-music-noise-talk-sound addressing the issues of REVOLUTION,
TERROR, FEAR and DOUBT. A holy MARRIAGE of prepared soundscapes
with live interventions.
Duration - 30 minutes, in total darkness throughout.
Pushing the boundaries of digital decency.
Power to the correct people!
The Devotees of the C.U.R. invite YOU to make witness.
EXODUS to Die Kunst's GENESIS and Revolting's ACTS and REVELATIONS
===========+++++++++++===========
Adele Myers piece "12 O'Clock Flight" flies onwards in the catacombs
until the evening's done. Last chance to see this top FACT commission.
The piece is a tube of corrogated perspex enclosing a steel platform
with a circle of sound-loaded sonars. The tube receives two video
projections at right angles creating a cheapskate holographic
environment. Active audience members investigate sonar treats and
effectively 'dance' in the process, as passive audience members observe
and listen to the soundscape created.
Sounds and visuals reflect real life in Liverpool and Manchester.
Imagine Transporter Deck, imagine Orgasmatron, imagine "12 O'Clock
Flight" ...
Is this RESURRECTION? ASCENSION? ASSUMPTION? Taste and see.
