ScreenSaver is an easy-to-use 32-bit screen saver for OS/2 2.x and above, ScreenSaver is Shareware. The registration fee. Site licences available.When ScreenSaver is started, it monitors your keyboard and mouse activity in the background. When a settable timeout expires, it runs one of the various saver modules until the user uses the keyboard or mouse again. ScreenSaver has the advantage of low memory consumption and very low CPU usage - this means virtually no performance impact on your normal work.ScreenSaver has a very modular structure: It searches its directory for saver modules and selects a module randomly when the saver becomes active. Therefore it is very easy to extend ScreenSaver by just copying new saver modules to its directory. It is possible to use Deskpic modules with ScreenSaver. Just copy them to the ScreenSaver directory. Easy network-installation (CID).Sample source code for do-it-yourself saver modules comes with the distribution. ScreenSaver has been certified by IBM in their "Available and Ready for OS/2" (tm) Certification Program.

AMARC launches international campaign of solidarity with independent media in FRY AMARC launches international campaign of solidarity with independent media in FRY 1 May 1999 http://www.amarc.org/b92 International Campaign of Solidarity with independent media in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia On 3rd May, World Press Freedom Day, the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) and HelpB92 are launching an international campaign of solidarity with Radio B92 and fifty other independent broadcasters from the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM). The solidarity action is being launched in protest at the blanket repression of broadcast and other media in and from FRY. We call on supporters of freedom of expression around the globe to join this action to assure the safety and continuing work of independent media activists during this time of extreme crisis and war. Radio B92 and ANEM have won world-wide acclaim for their commitment during the past ten years to countering nationalist rhetoric, hatred and war in the Balkans. The long-term goal of this international solidarity action is to get Radio B92 and all other ANEM stations back on the air and broadcasting free information as soon as possible. To enable them to realise this goal, we aim to twin fellow broadcasters, radio and television stations, freedom of expression organisations and activists from around the world with journalists and other staff from these independent media in the region. The main focus of the launch is the mobilisation of community radio broadcasters throughout the world, many of whom will undertake solidarity broadcasts with ANEM and Radio B92 on World Press Freedom Day. AMARC President, Maria Victoria Polanco, will present the campaign in Bogota during the UNESCO celebrations of World Press Freedom Day.

The Linguistic Return :::::CALL FOR ENTRIES:::::: Why not Sneeze? is preparing a sequel to its 1998 exhibition (or sub-site), The Linguistic Turn (http://www.ccc.nl/sneeze/turn/turnframe.html). Since we believe that language still lies at the heart of the vast library we call the Web, we are interested in its return, with or without a vengeance, and whether such returns are diminished or inflated, happy or unhappy. THE LINGUISTIC RETURN seeks to herald the global glossalalia, random rantings, email epiphenies, ASCII arguments, speakers corners and lateral libraries that constitute the (im)mediate (im)materiality of networked text. If you know what we mean, and would like to participate please mail your missives, projects, proposals, etc. to nondes@xs4all.nl Deadline: May 31st 1999 Why not Sneeze?

Internationale Performancekonferenz vom 13. - 16. Mai 1999 im Kasino des IG - Farbenhauses, Fürstenbergerstr. Frankfurt/Main Anmeldung: 069/250 328 Info: http://www.asa.de/Perf_Konf/konf8/basic.htm networking! Netz und Netzwerke sind Metaphern für die Kultur des späten 20. Jahrhunderts. Dynamische, sich verändernde Metaphern, offene Systeme, Interaktionsfelder, in denen sich Diskurse und Erfahrungen, Erwartungen und Ängste aus Wissenschaft, Medientechnologie und -kritik, Kunst, Politik und Philosophie überlagern, kreuzen und austauschen. Verbindungslinien, Impulse und Analogien zwischen den Disziplinen und Sparten hat es schon immer gegeben. Doch jetzt bilden die Eigenschaften der Netze als Kommunikationstruktur einen Knotenpunkt des Interesses. Interaktivität, Dezentralisierung, Selbstorganisation, Nichtlinearität, Heterarchie sind Begriffe mit denen die spezifischen Qualitäten der Netzwerkkommunikation beschrieben werden. Die Performancekonferenz „networking!“ ist Knotenpunkt und Interaktionsfeld durch das und auf dem die Ideen, Implikationen, Visionen und die Kritik des Netzes als Kommunikationsstruktur fließen und mit der künstlerischen Haltung und Handlung der Gäste interagiert. the art of networking: utopie & kritik Das Netz ist nicht nur Ort, sondern auch Medium der Kunst. Als solches besitzt es das prinzipielle Potential, das klassische Beziehungsdreieck zwischen Künstler, Kunstwerk und Betrachter nachhaltig zuerschüttern - scheint es doch Interaktivität, Partizipation und Kooperation nicht nur zu fördern, sondern auch zu fordern. Doch wie immer gibt es einen kleinen Haken an der Sache: Damit sich etwas bewegt, muss man sich bewegen. Das Netz als künstlerisches Neuland, in dem andernorts tradierte und sorgsam konservierte Strukturen und Machtverhältnisse keine Gültigkeit besitzen, das ist zunächst einmal nicht mehr als eine schöne Utopie. Wie wir auch aus anderen Bereichen zurGenüge wissen, ist ein Medium immer nur so neu/offen/fliessend/demokratisch/subversiv, wie der oder diejenige, der oder die es benutzt. Insofern gilt es auch, networking! als Strategie zu begreifen und die alten Seilschaften im neuen Medium zu kapern:hijacking old boys networks. Damit sich etwas bewegt, muss man sich bewegen. www.obn.org bittet zum Tanz.Donnerstag 13. 05.1999 Performance Art und Netz 11.00 Kaffee & Croissants 12.00 -15.15 Savier Klaro manyware über netzwerkkommunikation und rhizomatisches denken + über interaktivität und selbstorganisation, über dezentrale, nichtlineare strukturen + über schnittstellen zwischen „networking“ und performance art Performance Vortrag Hans Dieter Huber Vortrag Gerald Hintze Vortrag 15.15 -16.15 Kaffeepause 16.15 -17.00 Ruedi Schill Monika Guenther Performance 17.15 -18.30 Gesprächsrunde Moderation: Sabine Felker 18.45 -19.30 Jürgen Wolfstädter Performance 19.30 - 20.30 Abendessen 20.30 - 21.30 BLACK MARKET & Ulrich Philipp Jürgen Waldmann Performance Freitag 14. 05.1999 Performance Art im Netz 11.00 Kaffee & Croissants 12.00 - 12.15 Verena Kuni the art of (per)forming networks. vision & kritik ein statement vorab 12.15 - 12.45 Verena Kuni spiderwoman meets guerilla girls. hijacking old boys network Vortrag 13.15 - 14.00 Claudia Reiche koerper mit fenstern oder: der mensch als Terminal plastinate und computererzeugte koerperdarstellungen Performance Vortrag 14.30 - 15.15 Helene von Oldenburg SpiderBug. browsing the brain Performance Vortrag 15.15 -16.15 Kaffeepause 16.15 - 17.00 Cornelia Sollfrank The Art of hacking Performance Vortrag 17.15 -18.30 the mode is the message - the code is the collective oldboys networking workshop performance 18.45 - 19.30 Margarete Jahrmann SUperFEMper4Mans: Konsum LinX3D.wrl - das internet als handbuch der kommunikationsguerilla Performance Vortrag 19.30 - 20.30 Abendessen 20.30 - 21.30 Stelarc Zombies and Cyborgs, Exoskeleton, Extra Ear and Avatars Präsentation 21.30 - 22.15 körper/performance im netz Gesprächsrunde mit: Stelarc, Jürgen Fritz, Claudia Reiche, Verena Kuni, Faith Wilding, Connie Sollfrank, Helene von Oldenburg Samstag 15.05.1999 Performance Art Netze 11.00 Kaffee & Croissants 12.00 - 15.15 Sabine Felker Boris Nieslony Einführung Ray Langenbach Performance Vortrag Roddy Hunter The currency of the artist network Vortrag Helgard Haug Performance 15.15 -16.15 Kaffeepause 16.15 - 17.00 INFuG Wer ist im Bild?

The tangled backgrounds and psychological dilemmas in narratives are visualized and networked in 3-D diagrams, to form visual databases. Visitors can experience the depths of consciousness in accordance with changing voices and colors. This work is in the limelight, not only in the fields of media and information technology, but also as an original idea to link literatures with multimedia. The work, first shown at ARS ELECTRONICA 98 in Linz last year, is the first exhibition of full-fledged installation in the world. <on Ultima Ratio by Daniela Alina Plewe> In this Virtual Reality Ambient human paradoxes and dilemmas are represented as logical strucutres. A decision support system from AI research reasons then on such issues as: should Hamlet kill Claudius.., should Ilsa leave Casablanca with Rick..., should one live for ideals even if risking one's life..., etc.? Thereby exceptions to rules allow to differentiate the formalization. The system generated inner monologues of the characters and visualizes them in realtime as 3-D diagrams. The ambivalence of choices may become captured as images about mental spaces. The visual language (here of protoype 1) allows also to draw images beyond the logical functionality: features like 'reasoning running wild' courage "live wrong, but win" and 'plans of a life' can be expressed within thesemantics of "Ultima Ratio." <Daniela Alina Plewe> lives in Berlin studies in Philosophy, Literature and Anthropology 1988-89 Video at University of Paris VIII 1991-95 member of the AI-group "Logic, Theories of Knowledge and Information" at Freie Universitaet Berlin 1995 project-artist at ZKM, Center for Arts and Media, Karlsruhe 1995 grant of French Embassy, Bonn 1998 Ars Electronica 1998 grant of Senate of Berlin 1998 honorary mention in the genre of Interacitve Art at Comtecart, Dresden *further information at http://www.canon.co.jp/cast/ or contact Yukiko Shikata at yshikata@crpg.canon.co.jp Yukiko Shikata, Canon ARTLAB DK Bldg.5F, 7-18-23, Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0032 Japan Tel:+81-3-5410-3611 Fax:3615 http://www.canon.co.jp/cast/ ARTLAB-Prospect3"Ultima Ratio"(Daniela Alina Plewe) May 27-June6 --- # distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@desk.nl and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: nettime-owner@desk.nl
