We are asking that contributing writers submit an article between 400 and 1000 words no later than November 5, 1999 We will not be accepting any articles after this date for the December 1, 1999 publication. Late submissions, will however, be considered for the next month's issue. Some writers will be asked to submit a specific article on a specific topic. Otherwise, you are free to write about anything relating to the publication. Please be aware, however, of the magazine's format when choosing your subject matter. Articles pertaining to the overall magazine format will not necessarily be considered first, however, they will certainly be given extra attention, considering publication's needs. We have had a very successful first issue, with approximately 1000 visitors each day and growing exponentially. Thanks again for considering www.spark-online.com as a home for your creative instincts. We hope that we will serve your own particular intellectual vision well. interested parties, please contact - spark@spark-online.com *spark is an online magazine, published monthly on the internet. It will follow a rough outline of ideas that relate to the world of electronic communication, and how we as individuals, exist within the world that it is attempting to foist upon us. Capitalism, or course, isn't necessarily evil, or bad. It just attempts to appeal to the masses in order to turn a profit. Thus, we find that our entertainment consists of fighting, feeding and fucking (the limbic, or primitive drives). Things all humans innately understand. Yet, we here at *spark also believe that humanity is more than the sum of our animal instincts. We are creatures imbued with reason. We are able to look at the world around us and attempt to understand it. As members of *spark we believe that all human beings possess this nature. Furthermore, that it is a discussion of this world of reason, this divine nature, that is sorely lacking in modern society. Especially on the internet. We don't want to be highbrow, or snobbish, rather, we just want to engage the average person who is surfing the net with our ideas. Further, we want to be able to challenge him or her to look at themselves, and hopefully begin to question the world around them that they essentially take for granted. It is through questions that human beings begin the process of change. And change is one of the traits of humanity that is most admirable. To create a better world. We strongly believe that it is ideas that are the first step in any process of renewal. That's where you come in. It will be your ideas. Your insight, that helps to further this process. Any ideas are open for discussion here. We will publish anything, as long is it is well written, and engaging. As well, there is a rough polemical shape to the magazine that each month we would like to attempt to maintain.

The fact that people from 16 countries attended has made the event international. As an aftermath of the seminar participants` willingness to go on with our discussions and an additional interest of colleages who were not able to attend this time, the Institute for Strengthening Democracy in Bosnia has decided to continue with the seminar on the same topic next year. In order to make a tentative program, I request of you to let me know as soon as posible if you are interested in submitting papers, taking part in discussions, or simply attending the seminar. Working titles of presentations are welcomed. I encourage participants to suggest and organize workshops. Please also feel free to re-transmit this note to whomever might be interested. In the event of not being interested in receiving further information on this particular event as well as on the forthcoming activities of the Institute please let me know at your most suitable convenience. Sincerely, Dzemal Sokolovic, Director of the Institute for Strengthening Democracy in Bosnia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 0 5 | - - - - ART VS.

A conference on how digitized and networked technologies are changing our lives and the world. @ brown.edu 11.5.99 - 11.7.99 The Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University will host a three-day conference-VIRTUALY2K-from Friday to Sunday, November 5-7, 1999. The conference will explore how digitized and networked technologies are transforming the world and our lives. As distances collapse under globalization, as societies become ever more media-intensive, as the new velocity of virtual networks transforms warfare, diplomacy and politics, VY2K will bring scholars, writers, practitioners and critics from many parts of the world to interrogate the nature and future of virtual worlds. What is at stake? Has modernity been overtaken by a "virtual condition"? If so, what are the technical, political, ethical and immediate implications? Definitions of the virtual are not easy to come by. Long before microchips were imagined, theologians and philosophers were debating the elusive power of the virtual, of immaterial forces that could exert an influence at a distance, from the holy spirit to the rays of the sun. Now, thanks to the viral spread of networked computers, the virtual is not so much elusive as pervasive. Even so, like the puzzle of the philosophers, this contemporary virtuality produces effects and results that blur our usual ways of seeing things. We find new worlds emerge which though real are less than physical. We find spaces emerge which though extensive are immediate and not at all distant. In short, as the virtual becomes ever more actualized in our daily lives, many of the familiar ways in which we've looked at the world are being redrawn, if not turned upside down. In the meantime, global politics is being transformed. Battlesites and websites converge. PCs and TVs meld. Electronic eyes replace human eyes as global surveillance, media interventions, and invisible sanctions afford "action-at-a-distance". Think-tanks and peace institutes promote "virtual diplomacy" as the means to avoid actual insurgency. As data equals power, infowar becomes not only possible but an accepted, and seemingly acceptable reality. Indeed, the virtual touches every aspect of our lives: identity, economy, environments, people. As the century ends and a millennium begins, VY2K will open a debate about what is surely becoming one of the most important political, social and philosophical questions of human development: the power and opportunity, dangers and politics of virtuality. VIRTUALY2K is sponsored by the Watson Institute for International Studies, and made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation and with the support of the Malcolm S. Forbes Center for Research in Culture and Media Studies. VIRTUALY2K is free and open to the public.

Does 'virtuality' portend a new world-wide freedom - or a new carceral, albeit in the name of participation and communication? * What will the robot historians of the 22nd century write about the beginnings of the 21st? * Virtual technologies collapse distances, distort time, blur fact and fiction, fundamentally transforming the world of appearances. Are we witness to a 'de-realization', or a complexification of our perception of the real? * 'Cybernetics' originally denoted the 'arts of governing'. Is 'virtuality' also a means of governing people? * Can virtuality or virtual worlds allow for the free expression of difference, or do they disallow it through a standardization of real lives via universal code? * The Berlin wall falls, the web takes off. Pure coincidence? * What does it mean to wage a 'virtual war'? * Is 'virtual war' a form of just war? If it kills fewer people but attacks the 'reality principle' is it still justifiable? * Can virtual communities be real? * What can we understand by the merging of information, warring and entertainment? Is virtuality merely preparing society for new forms of war? * Can interventions in virtual environments be real? * Does virtuality alter how we think of mortality? * Every new technology brings with it a specific accident. What would a 'virtual accident' look like? * Is virtualization the "real" force behind globalization? Is it the harbinger of a new world order, or a brave new world?
