FLUXLIST: Mckenzie Wark on the Theology of the Spectacle
[This article originally appeared on Nettime.org, November 5, 2002/ Mckenzie Wark speaks on the Theology of the Spectacle ] Masayuki Kawai About a Theological Situation in the Society of the Spectactle Queens Museum of Art, New York (Nov. 3-10) guest curator Cristine Wang There is something untouchable about the major works of Guy Debord, founder and animating force of the Situationist International. As someone who famously declared we are not about to play the game, he is not so easy to assimilate into the play of institutional signifiers that is the art world. What makes Masayuki Kawai's video so fine is that it pretty much ignores the question of what it means to appropriate and rework Debord's work. This video just does it, and in fine style. What one learns, in the process, is that recession or not, Japanese commodity culture still furnishes the kinds of images that really do seem to bear out Debord's thesis. As Debord writes, the whole life of those societies in which modern conditions of production prevail presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. All that was once directly lived has become mere representation. This is a world in which that which is good appears, and that which appears is good. The spectacle is not just an accumulation of images, it is rather a social relationship mediated by images. Of course Debord made his own film version of his classic work, The Society of the Spectacle. Part of the problem with that film is that Debord was using the image culture of mid century France, which was far from being the most highly developed of the time. Kawai's video, on the other hand, is effective precisely because one seems to peer over the brink of a future the bulk of the world has yet to quite enter. I'm not in a position to assess Kawai's development of the Debordian thesis from one viewing, but there too, this is a work of some value. There's something static, unreflective in the ways in which the thesis of the spectacle is usually taken up. Debord's empahsis on separation has its limitations in a world in which the vectoral and connective property of media seems more telling. The alienation Debord identifies hinges on a somewhat static understanding of a necessity that pre-exists its rupture in the commodity economy. It's not that Kawai has resolved these issues in the Debordian thesis. The video seems to me to offer a very elegant restatement and adaption of the classic situationist position. But he does offer a very useful artwork with which to think these issues through.

Selected by guest curator Cristine Wang, Kawai’s work will be on view in the museum’s small theater from November 3-10, 2002, as part of New York City’s landmark Asian Contemporary Art Week. An opening reception will be held Sunday, November 3, 2002, from 3-6pm. Asian Contemporary Art Week (ACAW) is an initiative of the Asian Contemporary Art Consortium, and brings together an unprecedented alliance of curators, artists, educators and scholars in a city-wide program of exhibitions, performances, lectures, and events. For information on ACAW, visit http://www.asiasociety.org/acaw. About a Theological Situation in the Society of the Spectacle (6 min, 30 sec, DVD) takes French Situationist theorist Guy Debord’s seminal text, Society of the Spectacle (1967), as its main point of departure in a critique of the myths of life and personality in contemporary Japanese pop culture. Debord’s work remains one of the great theoretical texts on modern-day capitalism, visual culture, and the influence of the media over the evolution of social relationships. Kawai states: I use Augustinus' theology of the Trinity as an analogy to analyze and critique the situation, and quote images from the spectacle to adopt a form of exaggerated imitation of mass media techniques such as quick cutting text slogans. Masayuki Kawai was born 1972, in Osaka, Japan, and currently lives in Tokyo. He received a B.A. in Aesthetics from the University of Tokyo, and founded the Videoart Center Tokyo in 1999. A publisher and critic of contemporary video art, Kawai’s video works have been shown internationally including: Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, France (2002); Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, Germany (2002); European Media Art Festival, Osnabrück, Germany (2002/2001); Sydney Film Festival, Sydney, Australia (2001); Microwave International Media Art Festival, Hong Kong (2001); Leeds International Film Festival, England (2001); and the Rotterdam International Film Festival, The Netherlands (2001).

In her work, Ms. Potrc explores shantytowns or favelas‹characterized by creative use of low-cost materials, organic growth of settlements, spontaneous need-driven planning and building processes, and innovative means of achieving sustainability‹as a new paradigm for affordable housing in developing and developed countries alike. In 2000 she received the Hugo Boss prize for her Kagiso skeleton house. Mr. Roy founded the Social Work Research Center, or ³Barefoot College,² in the early 1970s in Tilonia, a remote village in the desert state of Rajasthan. The Center--a grassroots alternative to a state education system ill-adapted to the needs of poorer people--focuses on developing traditional methods of building, administration, health-care, and education, and combining them where practical with modern technologies in order to create functional, adaptive, and sustainable communities.

Directly from London and New York: Matt Elliott, also known as The Third Eye Foundation, who created the music for last year's award-winning Music Video Clip "What Is It With You", and Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid who put everybody in a spirited mood in the festival lounge and who caused a sensation presenting his sound-video performance in the festival cinema last year.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS AT OBERHAUSEN FILM FESTIVAL: In 2002, the special program will be "Catastrophe", (Curated by: Florian Wst) and will examine images of catastrophe and how images regulate the ambivalence between attraction and fear. The program will examine media representations of catastrophes, their fabrication for political purposes as well as stories of disasters. War, eco-disaster, terror, states of emergency or personal catastrophes such as traumata, social blunders or simply missing the person you love: "Catastrophe" will present individual survival strategies as well as utopian and dystopian visions of the future: Marina Grzinic, Aina Smid (curated by Ursula Biemann) Valie Export, Jonas Mekas, Tony Oursler, Sonic Youth (curated by Keith Sanborn) Adbusters, Doug Aitken,Knut Asdam, Christoph Draeger, Harun Farocki, George Lucas, Kristin Lucas, Ridley Scott (Curated by: Florian Wst) **Presentation and film screening by MVRDV ** With videos Meta City/DataTown (1999), Pig City (2001), and others. Special Program: Specials: Zelimir Zilnik and Karpo Godina: The Fight to Film: Zelimir Zilnik's films appear like a mirror of the political injustice and social plight plaguing day-to-day life in the Balkans, a reality too often denied by officialdom. But Zilnik dared to show us the true situation, in uncompromisingly authentic images and uninhibited by any fear of political reprisals. Frequently forced to fight against censorship and the banning of his films, Zilnik is one of the few Yugoslavian directors who have been able to preserve their independence in the face of ever-changing political regimes, and despite the recurring problems of minimal budgets and political restrictions. MuVi International --Int'l Music Video program For the fourth time the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen presents a program with a selection of trend-setting international music videos from 2000-2002.

The symposium will address the following questions: What is the societal role of art, and the ethics of our interventions in our built environment? What are the critical environmental and ecological prevention issues which have an impact on the global village? What are some examples of sustainable development from the point of view of industrial ecology? How may we find new strategies for environmental management, waste reduction, pollution prevention? Can art have a role in shaping the environment in which we live? What new technologies are there which may benefit humanity in environmentally friendly ways? We see that emerging technologies that link the world together are not ethically neutral, but often have long-term implications for viability of natural systems, human rights, and our common future. We may find some possibilities in the words of Joseph Beuys' and his theory of "Social Sculpture": "...Social Sculpture--how we mold and shape the world in which we live: SCULPTURE AS AN EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS... All around us the fundamentals of life are crying out to be shaped, or created." BETTY BEAUMONT Betty Beaumont is an internationally recognized New York artist who has been actively involved with solution-based sustainability strategies for more than 3 decades. Twenty-two years ago Beaumont founded Art Research Collaboration, Inc. and has worked and consulted with scientists, engineers and scholars on such global issues as energy, species diversity, health and environmental hazards of toxins, and the elimination of waste. Her ecologically concerned work has been shown extensively in New York and Europe including P.S.1 Museum, the Queens Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art as well as the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and Kyoto. She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation. Beaumont has taught at the University of California at Berkeley, New York University, and is currently a visiting scholar at Columbia University in the Graduate School of Architecture. PETER FEND Active at sites throughout the world, eco-artist Peter Fend will discuss the satellite-derived truths about Big Oil and Nuclear Power, focusing on the Gulf and on Chernobyl. He will then show practical solutions for now-damaged regions, working with already-researched zero-pollution energy systems which have yet to become industrial. To achieve his essentially architectural, or habitat, aims, Fend has a long-standing practice of collaborating with other artists, and with architects, scientists, economists and scholars, converging their creative inputs on to specific environmental tasks. The vehicle for practice is a business corporation, Ocean Earth Development Corporation. Founded in 1980, following through on various 70s efforts at multi-artist ventures and collaborations, Ocean Earth seeks to combine various art probes with recent science and engineering to effect realistic solutions to large-scale problems. Fend sees this work as Architecture, citing the thesis of Leon Battista Alberti that architecture is concerned with the city, the inhabited region, and for that makes the material/ technical arrangements, the siting of suitable technologies, which assure (1) clean air, (2) clean water, (3) circulatory space, (4) defense against damage from outside. To achieve these ends, Ocean Earth has been site-testing new energy technologies, modeling earthworks that would restore freshwater cycles, designing lightweight megastructures and, for defense, countering the Pentagon's space-based scenarios with campaigns for a wide diffusion of satellite imagery of hotspots for citizens' review. The obstacles to success, Fend concludes from

Each year the Short Film Festival Oberhausen is able to present numerous world premieres and international first-runs in this context. Among the entries submitted during the course of the nearly 50-year history of this competition one finds names such as Eija-Lisa Ahtila, Doug Aitken, Igor Gleb Aleinikov, Santiago Alvarez, Lindsay Anderson, Robert Breer, Robert Frank, Michel Gondry, James Herbert, Takashi Ito, Aki Kaurismki, David Larcher, Spike Lee, Jan Lenica, Chris Marker, Don McKellar, Jonas Mekas, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Roman Polanski, Alain Resnais, Jacques Rivette, Glauber Rocha, Raul Ruiz, Zbigniew Rybczynski, Ousmane Sembne, Jan Svankmajer, Istvn Szab, Alain Tanner, Johan van der Keuken, Gus Van Sant, Agnes Varda, Gilian Wearing, Krzystof Zanussi, and Zelimir Zilnik. Film + Video Included: The equal treatment of video and film in the competitions since the early nineties, the consistent incorporation of advertising and industrial films, and the introduction of the world's first festival award for a music video made in Germany - the MuVi - in the late nineties, are all aspects that place the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen at the forefront of the short film scene. Furthermore, in cooperation with its media partners, Arte, 3sat and more recently MTV, the Festival has helped to open up new audiences for short films. In their short film programs, Arte and 3sat have been cooperating with the Festival for years, while in 2001 MTV for the first time televised 25 short films from the programsof the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. Film Market: In addition to the Festival Catalogue, the Short Film Festival also publishes an extensive Film Market Catalogue each year containing crew and genre information, brief descriptions in two languages and production addresses for each film submitted, as well as a separate overview of film schools in Germany. Indexes organized by genre, director and running time facilitate working with the catalogue. The Film Market has established an international reputation as the largest market for German-produced short films, as well as films and videos of the most diverse formatsand genres. Every year buyers from Australia, France, the USA, Austria, Sweden and many other countries purchase on average about 200 festival submissions. In response to this resounding success, the Film Market was expanded in 2000 to include market screenings. In 2000/01 these screenings focussed on films from South East Asia, Australia and South Africa, giving production companies, film schools and national film institutions in these countries the chance to present their current film production to a Western audience of film industry insiders. The Film Market Catalogue was made available online for the first time in 2001. This provides industry repre-sentatives with an opportunity not only to obtain information on available films prior to the festival, but also during the rest of the year. In the Short Film Exchange Section you will find an online catalogue of more around 15,000 short films consisting of the Market Catalogues 1997 to 2001. The Film Market Catalogues of future festivals will be regularly added.

FLUXLIST: TAYSTES at Cornerhouse Gallery / Futuresonic Festival
*For Immediate Release* November 10, 2001 #8220;Taystes#8221;, a new web-based work by New York artist Jenny Marketou http://www.taystes.net will premier as an interactive installation, commissioned by: Cornerhouse Gallery / Futuresonic Festival, Manchester, UK #8220;Broken Channel#8221; exhibition 15 November - 21 December, 2001 http://www.cornerhouse.org http://www.futuresonic.com ::: Big Brother is Watching you... #8220;TaystesROOM#8221; will have its world premier at the exhibition #8220;BROKEN CHANNEL#8221;, at Cornerhouse Gallery, UK in association with FUTURESONIC (Manchester#8217;s festival of electronic and sonic arts). This exhibition will also feature the work of 2 other artists: Harun Farocki and Ravi Deepres. The three artists examine a world of high tech surveillance and voyeurism whether sinister and controlling or personal and erotic. For the exhibition, New York based artist, Jenny Marketou, has constructed #8220;taystesroom#8221;, an elaborate, interactive installation; it uses mirrors and the internet to create a voyeuristic arena. The installation evokes the erotic tension of watching and being watched, seeing and being seen, tracking and being tracked; and explores the new vectors of desire that erupt in an increasingly technological and networked surveillance of voyeurs . The taystes tool has a sonic online component which is dynamically generated as the application extracts and generates sounds (in real time) while it is searching for taysty tid bits of information in the surveillance databody, not unlike a detective, sifting through the body of evidence. Special Acknowledgements: Installation Design: Andreas Angelidakis (architect, Greece) Sound Component: Ile Cvetkoski (net.artist, Macedonia) Special thanks to HULL TIME BASED ARTS for their generous support of the sonic component of Taystesroom. http://www.timebase.org/ :: About the artist: Jenny Marketou is a New York based artist. She has been working in different media, including photography,video, video events involving dj#8217;s and performers, public performances, computer installations, using internet, telepresence environments and interfaces, networking technologies.and artificial smells.

FLUXLIST: Premier: Eduardo Kac's The Eighth Day + Symposium
For Immediate Release *Thursday, Oct. 25, 2001* THE EIGHTH DAY, A TRANSGENIC NET INSTALLATION by Eduardo Kac will have its world premier and invite public debate at Institute for Studies in the Arts, Tempe, Arizona October 25 - November 2, 2001 *Lecture by the artist* Art, Ethics, and Biotechnology: The 8th Day and the Transgenic Art of Eduardo Kac (3 - 4 pm) Computing Commons Auditorium *Opening Reception* The Eighth Day an installation by Eduardo Kac (4 - 5:30pm) Computing Commons Gallery The Eighth Day: Bioethics and Transgenics. A Public Forum on the Art of Eduardo Kac (7:30 pm) Neeb Hall Dan Collins moderator. Associate Professor, School of Art, Arizona State University Eduardo Kac artist. Associate Professor of Art and Technology, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago Cristine Wang Contributing Editor, NY Arts Magazine, Curator, Re:Duchamp Exhibition, 49th Venice Biennial Tanya Augsberg Interdisciplinary Studies, Arizona State University Allen Rawls scientist. Dept. of Biology, Arizona State University Joan McGregor philosopher, Arizona State University +++ Kac's most recent transgenic artwork, The Eighth Day, is presented by Institute for Studies in the Arts, Tempe, from October 25 - November 2, 2001. The Eighth Day provides the public with the unique opportunity to experience a spectacular ecology of green glowing creatures and thus to critically reflect on the social and cultural implications of biotechnology. The Eighth Day brings together a biological robot (biobot) linked to the Internet, GFP fish, GFP mice, GFP amoeba and GFP plants, and video footage and sound of the ebb and flow of moving water. In order to approach the transgenic ecology, the viewer walks on water. Gentle, recurring sounds of waves emanate from four corners of the room. In the center of this tranquil environment, a fluorescent ecology of living creatures emerges. The living creatures and the biobot are enclosed in an environment under a ventilated, clear, plexiglas dome, thus rendering dramatically visible what it would be like if these creatures would in fact coexist in the world at large. As a self-contained artificial ecological system it resonates with the words in the title, which add one day to the period of creation of the world as narrated in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. All transgenic creatures in The Eighth Day express the gene that produces green fluorescent protein (GFP). By enabling local and online participants to experience the environment inside the dome from the point of view of the biobot, The Eighth Day creates a context in which participants can reflect on the meaning of a transgenic ecology from a first-person perspective. +++ The Eighth Day was developed through a two-year residency at the Institute for Studies in the Arts, Arizona State University, Tempe. Eduardo Kac is represented by Julia Friedman Gallery, Chicago. *All events are free*and held on the Arizona State University campus.

The installation, after Duchamp#8217;s installation for the First Papers of Surrealism, is an assemblage of clotheslines from which are hung all the artwork to be viewed at once. These shows become a Duchampian metaphor of the contemporary art world. When Duchamp developed a benefit exhibition for the French Relief Societies in 1942 with a mile of string it was not only to fulfill a commission to do things as cheaply as possible but it was also the opportunity to create a metaphor for the difficulties the visitor often encounters in the attempt to understand modern art. To Duchamp, to Beuys, everything is art and everything is possible. Or at least art is an attempt at the seemingly impossible. Still the greatest dream of everyone is to live a life of freedom: free to be curious, to explore, to seize the moment, to understand. The artist and the world create a common bond, that we are united in our search for truth. The installation has evolved as it has been presented from country to country. Re: Duchamp has already been exhibited in New York City and in various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and Israel and most recently at the Venice Biennale.

FLUXLIST: Report from Borderhack 2.0 (day 1)
Report from Borderhack 2.0 (day 1) by Cristine Wang day 1: arrived in Playas de Tijuana with Jenny Marketou (artist of Translocal: Camp in My Tent project), we got lost at the border, so we emailed Fran Ilich (director of Borderhack) from my cellphone which has a webconnection (for some reason i think they scramble the mobile network once you cross the border, so you cannot communicate, send or receive phone calls on your mobile)--luckily the web saved us, i told fran to call Jenny's number, and finally we found our way. met w/ fran ilich (conceptualiser of borderhack), luis humberto rosales (organiser of borderhack), cindy flores (organiser of cyberfeministas panel) as soon as we got to playas de tijuana, there was only a fax machine, cables everywhere, phone/data lines strewn on the floor next to the lighthouse--but we could call anywhere in the world...it was like the communications headquarters, like setting up a military camp, with means of transmitting information, data out of the camp, and receiving from the rest of the world... there were some workshops going on in lean-to's; but day 1 was mostly setting up the infrastructure, as most of the participants arrived the next day... we went down on the beach where the tents were being set up, next to the 10' high metal wall dividing the first and third world... on the other side, the american side, were 2 border patrol cars, waiting and ready for action...it seemed a fairly benign situation, seagulls flying freely between the two geopolitical territories, unaware of the presence of this defining line...couples were strolling hand in hand along the beach, and vendors were selling their brightly colored wares; but in the midst of all this, i spotted someone squeezed through between the gap in the wall, and i said to myself--it can't be---this person can't be attempting to cross the border in broad daylight! and with the 2 border patrols waiting, crouching to pounce--but in a blink of an instant, i saw 2 men running across the sand dunes up the beach, only to be caught by the u.s. border patrol; and handcuffed--then put into the patrol cars...! since indymedia crew was filming this, i thought to myself, maybe this was all staged? but then it can't be, so i asked 2 locals why did they do it? and their response was: ...even for one instant, their wish was simply to touch freedom and 'the american dream' on the other side... the day ended with electronic music crossing both borders, as sound was easier to pass the border patrol, it was hosted by gabriel of club orbit. = relevant links: http://la.indymedia.org http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/ecd.html http://www.nyu.edu/classes/beaumont/border_crossing/Border_Crossing.html http://artcontext.com/act/01/USers http://fakeshop.com/90N/index3.html http://www.geocities.com/firstpulseproj/Borderhack.html http://www.name-space.org/ http://www.tribes.org http://ova.zkm.de/perl/ova-raplayer?id=998511570base=ova.zkm.de http://users.rcn.com/laporta.interport/bordercam/bordercam.html http://www.metamute.com/ http://www.cellspace.org/ http://cristine.org/borders/Jenny.html http://cristine.org/borders/Emil.html http://de-lete.tv/borderhack http://cristine.org/borders =

From the computer DESKTOP, to DOWNLOADABLE COMPUTER VIRUSES, OPEN SOURCE AND CODE CRACKING SOFTWARE, and E-BOOKS, to ALTERNATIVE NETWORK BROWSERS, OPERATING SYSTEMS and SHAREWARE/FREEWARE, DOMAIN NAME SERVERS, to GAMING PATCHES, LISTSERVS, ONLINE THEATER (in the form of activism, or ELECTRONIC PROTEST)--what constitutes ART is being re-defined as EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES and mediums are giving artists the TOOLS and a new means of expression. In addition, our notions or definitions of the tangible, physical BORDER TERRITORY or OWNERSHIP/PROPERTY is being transformed in the virtual realm of cyberspace. The idea of territory becomes one of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and COPYRIGHT/LEFT. Geopolitical, and topographical territories are being replaced with domain of the Corporations and Governmental Agencies (ICANN) who control the space of the World Wide Web. Borders existing on the network, tracing the idea of open borders vs. closed borders, similarly we look at firewalls, encryption, carnivore; in contrast to open source, General Public License (and therefore the ideas of authorship) sharing of files, data transfer. The SERVER or HARD DRIVE as the new territory where HACKING and ART exchange fertile ground in the realm of the digital NETWORK we know as the Internet. Artists and Activists have their say in the wide open territory of the WWW, creating a hybrid art form called PRACTIVISM (--Paul Garrin). Hackers and Activists merge and become HACKTIVISTS (--Electronic Disturbance Theater). A new form of electronic theater or digital performance art is developing, that of the Online Protest, or VIRTUAL SIT-IN. At the beginning of the 21st century, we see that the words of Joseph Beuys has its corollary in the electronic realm: ...Social Sculpture--how we mold and shape the world in which we live: SCULPTURE AS AN EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS; EVERYONE IS AN ARTIST...All around us the fundamentals of life are crying out to be shaped, or created.

Title: RAI Italy_review [reprinted from: RAI (Italy), Tuesday, June 5, 2001 "Net.art in Venice", by Marco Deseriis] ++ Net.art in Venice The Biennial of New Media by Marco Deseriis "Among the wealth of works at the 49th International Exhibition of Art in Venice, enters also art tied to the internet and to new media. Not to be missed: the Slovenian Pavilion and the Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition. Net.art enters the Venice Biennial. Or, rather, the Biennial embraces art of the network... The Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition: The Biennial also has in store other surprises tied to the relationship between Art and New Media. Among these, the Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition, a traveling group exhibition, which includes various exponents of New Media Art, above all of USA origin. Among the artists: Eduardo Kac, Andres Serrano, Jenny Marketou, Mark Amerika, Daniel Garcia Andujar, Paul Garrin, Ken Goldberg, Marina Grzinic, Tina LaPorta, Paul D. Miller (a.k.a. Dj Spooky), and many others. In the installation, which will open June 9, the works of various artists will be hung on various clotheslines. A tribute to the poetic of the impossible and immeasurable of Marcel Duchamp, who showed his Mile of Rope in New York in 1942. The Re: Duchamp Traveling Exihibition forms part of the Markers project, sponsored by various cultural foundations such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Municipality of Venice. The opening reception will be held June 9 at 11am at the church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, 454 Fondamenta San Gioacchin (end of via Garibaldi). The show will run thru July 14."

It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski, and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik, Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942, in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to understand modern art. The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral, time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is the readymade. ** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags, the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages. * At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the Municipality of Venice itself.

A pioneer of video in the 1970's, and web art in the 1990's, his "live" satellite performance/video/web pieces are seminal exercises in the use of interactive technology as a medium for art + communications. In 1977 he joined with Nam June Paik + Joseph Beuys for the first live international satellite telecast by artists, transmitted from Documenta 6in Kassel, West Germany. Davis' pioneering work with interactivity has evolved with new technologies. His ongoing interactive project for the World Wide Web, entitled The World's First Collaborative Sentence, was commissioned by the Lehman College/CUNY Art Gallery and is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. "Metabody"(The World's First Collaborative Visions of the Beautiful), 1997, collection George H.

"Terrible Beauty", an evolving work of interactive global theater (on-going since 1997), uses the bodies and faces on the web as theatrical partners. And now, "Moralpornography.com",which just opened in Copenhagen, Denmark, will scandalize our mayor,delight you, and reform heterosexuality forever. As an artist/performer, Davis confronts the anonymity and passivity of technological production and reception, establishing an intimate, interactive dialogue with the viewer as a forum for intellectual and moral debate. Articulating his approach to video, Davis writes: "Television is usually considered a public medium, but because of the way it is experienced -- in a personal space -- it is in fact quite private. When I began to work overtly with the medium, I acted out of the same sense of intimacy, this time on the other side of the screen." The author of several books, including Artculture: Essays on the Post-Modern (1977) and The Museum Impossible: Architecture and Culture in the Post-Pompidou Era (1990), and The Five Myths of Television Power. Davis has been a critic for Newsweek and contributor of essays, opinions and fiction to the New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, The Village Voice, and The New York Press. Davis received a B.A. from American University and an M.A. from Rutgers University. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (D.A.A.D.); he was artist-in-residence at the TV Lab at WNET/Thirteen, New York, and a Fulbright Scholar at the State University of the Humanities in Moscow.

MEMON:
"Human
League"

*Reception
for the Artist*
Friday,
May 4 (6-9pm)
"Like
clicking on an icon, the viewer decompresses the process, accessing a stream
of information."
--Emil Memon, 2001
This exhibition
focuses on works on paper which are likened to "compressed thoughts" -
cultural codes. An object, in the form of a table, performs similarly
to the drawings, playing with the idea of modernism, where Corbusier's
"Do-mi-no House" sketch is the DNA responsible for Chicago's "Cabrini Housing
Projects", all the way to Manhattan corporate architecture. There
is an ambient sound piece, which fills the exhibition space with the artist's
lament on the "Fall of Man".
In the
last decade, New York-based artist Emil Memon has been prolific in the
production of site-specific installations. He was able to transform
inhospitable, but architecturally-engaging spaces such as old Broadway
theaters ("The Supper Club", the ex-"Club USA" ), as well as abandoned
offices and industrial spaces. In a matter of minutes he transformed
them through video, slide projections and light materials (like vinyl),
absorbing everything around it into carriers of cultural codes.
A consummate
media artist, he chooses the medium that best fits the idea he is working
with, while paying respect to the spirit of it. This flexibility
(not taken lightly) is fitting in a place like New York City, whose main
product is the packaging of highs + lows in the form of different media.
Emil Memon,
born in Slovenia, studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
As a Fulbright Scholar, he travelled to New York where he lives and works.
In the eighties, he exhibited his work in the then bourgeoning east village
art scene, along with artists such as David Wojnarowicz. In the nineties,
he transformed abandoned industrial sites with his sound and video installations,
as well as curating other artists such as Kenny Schacter and Taylor Mead
into these hybrid events. He participated in the XLVII Venice Biennale.

The video works + the digital prints juxtapose images of intimacy, sex, mass culture + history. The works present a powerful layering of fiction with facts of brutal reality. The body is here presented as artificial matter, a constant product of ritual + nothingness. "We find ourselves in all bodies + in all media, but this is not an innocent act." --Marina Grzinic, 2001 For More Information Contact: Cristine Wang, Director 4 5 0 B R O A D W A Y G A L L E R Y 450 Broadway 4th Floor, New York NY 10013 tel: 212.941.5952 fax: 212.226.3400 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hours: Tues-Sat 1-6 pm

"No
Sensors" a symposium on Mainstream Technophilia vs. Radical Critical Practise
brings together a notable group practising within the field of emerging
media technologies, who are committed to the opposition of a simple acceptance
of popular notions of art-making practise, but rather, propose a critical
investigation into the socio-economic, political and ideological ramifications
of global information structure systems, wherein: "the medium is NOT the
message"

Title: N e t w o r k A c t i v i t y : at Harvestworks *For Immediate Release* "Network Activity" organised by Cristine Wang (curator new media arts) (Launch of new network projects commissioned by The Alternative Museum) **Monday, February 12, 2001 (6-8pm)** Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center 596 Broadway Suite 602 New York, NY + YAEL KANAREK: World of Awe: Roam 1.0 is a 3-D roaming environment utilising the rendering mechanism of the game engine. "WOA Roam" terrain will be based on the digitally produced desert images that appear throughout the website. It will be designed to read a "live" feed of web traffic, to select and compile information gathered in a database, and is therefore dynamically + invisibly driven by human network action. Written in C++, as a final project "WOA Roam" will be available as an .exe for download via the net. A sound track is designed for the last stage. [Yael Kanarek is a media artist living in New York. "World of Awe" is based on a journal describing the adventures of a traveler in search of lost treasure. World of Awe versions 1995, 1997 and 2000 have been added to Rhizome's Artbase. Ms. Kanarek is an artist-in-residence at Eyebeam Atelier and Harvestworks. She has been showing her online and offline work internationally. "World of Awe" has been included in festivals in Brazil, France, England, Germany and the USA. The "World of Awe" screen saver is available through "Refresh, the art of the screen saver" on artmuseum.net.] TINA LAPORTA: Re:mote_corp@REALities (world wide web mix) Videotaping individual windows of cu-see me participants from her computer-screen, Tina LaPorta "captures" the movements of selected participants logged onto to a video conferencing forum. Combining and juxtaposing the video-sequences with fragments of audio taken from interviews she conducts (in real life) with various artists and theorists who work with digital media, the artist demonstrates how our process of inter-subjective communication is becoming increasingly dematerialized as we shift away from the local toward the global. [Tina LaPorta is a media artist living in New York. In 1999 she won a commission from Turbulence.org; NY (with funds from The National Endowment for the Arts) to produce an online project entitled "Distance" which was selected as a semi-finalist in the Global Information Infrastructure (Gii) Award in the Arts + Culture category. As an Artist in Residence at Ars Electronica: Future Lab; Linz, Austria, she created her first online work: "Traces". Recent exhibitions include "Technically Engaged" show at AIR Gallery, NYC and "Dystopia and Identity in the Age of Global Communications," exhibition at Tribes Gallery in NYC.] JENNIFER + KEVIN MCCOY: 201: A Space Algorithm Is an online software program taking as its point of departure, Stanley Kubrick's science-fiction classic: "2001: A Space Odyssey". As an interactive online work, Jennifer + Kevin Mccoy's "201: A Space Algorithm" allows viewers to dialogue dynamically by providing methods by which film shots are indexed, catalogued + can be dynamically re-generated and re-combined, thus creating a new interpretation of a prior modern classic. Running time is compressed or expanded, juxtapositions are generated synthetically, and shot selection becomes a collaboration between you and the computer. [Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are varied media artists living in New York. Group exhibitions include "Greater New York" at P.S.1, "Tenacity" at the Swiss Institute, "The Art Entertainment Network" at the Walker Arts Center. Int'l arts festivals include: Poland, Japan, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Holland. In 1999 they received a NYFA grant in computer arts, a Jerome grant through the Walker Arts Center, and were artists in residence at the Worldviews program at the World Trade Center and Harvestworks Media Center.

Many of the works, realised with some of the most varied and latest software + hardware techniques (and for the most part online), demonstrate the positive and apocalyptic approaches taken by artists as they comment upon the network. Filled with luminaries like Mark Amerika, Natalie Bookchin, Heath Bunting, Critical Art Ensemble, Ricardo Dominguez, Fakeshop, Marina Grzinic, Fran Ilich, Eduardo Kac, Tina La Porta, Mark Napier, Carsten Nicolai, Francesca da Rimini, Linda Wallace and many others.

FLUXLIST: El Pais / Ciberpais Review by Roberta Bosco + Stefano Caldana
Title: El_Pais_review [from: El Pais / Ciberpais, (Spain) Thursday, January 11, 2001 reviewed by Roberta Bosco + Stefano Caldana] ++ Tribes Gallery Exposes the Panorama of Net.art at the Dawn of the New Millenium New York exhibition reunites artists who use the network. by Roberta Bosco + Stefano Caldana The state of creation on the web. "Dystopia + Identity in the Age of Global Communications" reunites artists who have pioneered net.art. The exhibition, at Tribes Gallery in New York, "...reflects the two poles of thought: visions of death + destruction, to positive representations of a world that began believing in its potentialities", according to its curator, Cristine Wang. "Artists at the beginning of the 20th century embraced the notion of the all-encompassing role of art: the profound belief in the ability of art to effect change. Almost one hundred years later, into the new millenium, we have seen the effects of this utopian vision: the failure of modernism and its various permutations on a global basis" explains Wang. Andy Deck presents the anti-militarist piece "Progressive Load" and Mark Amerika its ironic "How to be an Internet artist", its pseudo-autobiography, that "tries to demonstrate how the industrialists of dotcoms who have swollen the market are the true net.artists". "Street Action on the Superhighway", a project by Natalie Bookchin, represents the different spaces opened up between art / activism / the streets / the network: "The internet has become another cheap, fast and ductile material in the hands of the artists." The concept of the exhibition is evident in works like "Ocean Landmark" by Betty Beaumont, a created virtual world utilising vrml technology (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) located 40 miles beyond New York Harbor. It is itself, both an underwater sculpture on a massive scale: 500 tons of an industrial waste product made of processed coal-waste, a potential pollutant that has undergone a planned transformation into a flourishing ecosystem: a poetic vision 70 feet below the surface, on the floor of the Atlantic Continental Shelf. The minimalist "Silence" by Olga Kisseleva focuses on that which we cannot see at first site. Unlike most works of net.art that bombard the viewer with a flow of visual and sonorous stimuli, like the impressive and politicized "The Days and the Nights of Dead", by Australian artist Francesca da Rimini; in order to discover the beauty of "Silence" one must know to be patient and watch the screen as things evolve over time. Among the most provocative works, stands out the porn film "IKU" by Shu Lea Cheang (an artist from Taiwan, living in New York). After a large trajectory of work in video art, Cheang first came to prominence in the net.art world with "Brandon", the first project commissioned for the Guggenheim Museum website, based on the transexual news story that served as the basis for the film "Boys don't Cry". Present are some of the "masterpieces" of the history of net.art, like "Telegarden" by Ken Goldberg, with its positive and collective vision of life; the transgenetic and interactive works of Eduardo Kac; the particular "hacker" aesthetic of Jenny Marketou; and "Netomat", the "anti-browser" that the Polish artist Maciej Wisniewski conceived of as an artistic instrument able to activate the creative and aesthetic potential of the network. The only Spaniard present is Daniel Garca Andjar, with his "Technologies to the People", a virtual company that exists exclusively as an art project, whose objective is to provoke a reflection on the use of the technology and the mechanisms of exclusion in information society.

Deck has made art software since 1990, initially using it to produce short films. Since 1994, he has worked with the Web using the sites artcontext.com and andyland.net. An avid critic of corporate culture and militarism, Deck's hybrid news-art projects have addressed a variety of issues that are regularly misrepresented in the mass media. In the interest of preserving this available alternative media, and sensing the drift of the Internet toward a marketing and entertainment medium, he has allied himself with open source software developers, optimizing his work for use with the Linux operating system, and publishing source code for much of his software. His works have been exhibited at: Art on the Net (Machida City Museum, Tokyo), Net_Condition (ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany), War Bulletin Board (Postmaster's Gallery, NYC), Graffic Jam (Thing.net, NYC) 1998 Prix Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), Mac Classics (Postmaster's Gallery, NYC).

"Art in Review" Review by Holland Cotter]
"Dystopia and Identity in the Age of Global
Communication"
Tribes Gallery
285 East Third Street
East Village
Through Jan. 13
Old-style alternative spaces, where disciplines messily collide and visually
anything goes, are a dying breed in Manhattan. Thread Waxing Space in SoHo
still holds the proud banner high, as is evident in its group show, the
bracingly anarchic "Death Race 2000." And so, on a more intimate scale, does
Tribes Gallery, which is host to exhibitions, jazz concerts and poetry
readings in a second-floor railroad- style flat
between Avenues C and D.
Tribes's latest offering has ambitions as big as the venue is small.
Organized by Cristine Wang, it squeezes itself into three rooms, climbing
up walls and spilling from shelves. Three dozen or so international artists,
several well known, jostle for attention. Some make out better than others,
but all get to have their say, at least when the audiovisual components are
up and running. (The gallery will be happy to turn on
whatever looks off.)
Where to begin? A Mike Bidlo piece near the front door, with a print of
Duchamp's infamous "Fountain" pasted on a page from the Manhattan phone book,
sets a Dadaist tone for much of what follows, while digital prints by Betty
Beaumont and Shu Lea Cheang establish the Internet as the prevailing source
of imagery. Verbal communication gets a comedic workout in photographs of the
Chinese artist Zhao Bandi chatting up a toy panda and in seductively nutty
audio pieces by Mark Amerika and Tina LaPorta.
Networking assumes dire implications in the conspiracy-theory charts by Mark
Lombardi, who died in March, while politics take a dystopian plunge in
rough-hewn propaganda posters by the estimable Peter Fend. ("Puppet for
Prez," reads one.) Christoph Draeger's video compendium of fiery explosions
provides apocalyptic spice and is neatly complemented by a Roxy Paine
meltdown sculpture and an attractive puzzlelike painting in orange and purple
by Jeremy Stenger.
The whole show, in fact, feels like a disjointed puzzle, or maybe a
conversation in which a bunch of smart, quirky voices are headed in
different, sometimes arcane directions. The voices don't mesh, but they
produce a strong collective buzz. And that buzz will go live tomorrow night
when Ms. Wang leads a panel of artists, critics and curators in a discussion
titled "The Presentation of Online Art in Physical Space."

FLUXLIST: DYSTOPIA + IDENTITY PANEL DISCUSSION: SATURDAY JAN. 6 (6-8PM)
*For Immediate Release* You are invited to attend an OPEN FORUM in conjunction with the exhibition currently on view at Tribes Gallery through January 13: "Dystopia + Identity in the Age of Global Communications" curated by Cristine Wang http://www.tribes.org/dystopia **DYSTOPIA + IDENTITY PANEL DISCUSSION: ON THE PRESENTATION OF ONLINE ART IN PHYSICAL SPACE** **SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 2001 (6-8PM)** TRIBES GALLERY 285 EAST THIRD STREET 2FL NEW YORK CITY (btw Avenue C and D) F train to 2nd Avenue (East Village) A small panel of 9 presenters (artists, critics, curators) will discuss the problematics of the presentation of online work in physical space. Panelists: ANDY DECK, RICARDO DOMINGUEZ, JON IPPOLITO, JENNY MARKETOU, SAUL OSTROW, CHRISTIANE PAUL, HELEN THORINGTON, MARK TRIBE, AND MACIEJ WISNIEWSKI. Panelists will each give a 10 minute verbal presentation. A question + answer period will follow. All presentations will be to a live audience and will be videotaped and archived for web streaming at a later date. ++ ABOUT THE PANELISTS: ANDY DECK: makes public art for the Internet that resists generic categorization: collaborative drawing spaces, game-like search engines, problematic interfaces, informative art. Deck has made art software since 1990, initially using it to produce short films. Since 1994, he has worked with the Web using the sites artcontext.com and andyland.net. An avid critic of corporate culture and militarism, Deck's hybrid news-art projects have addressed a variety of issues that are regularly misrepresented in the mass media. In the interest of preserving this available alternative media, and sensing the drift of the Internet toward a marketing and entertainment medium, he has allied himself with open source software developers, optimizing his work for use with the Linux operating system, and publishing source code for much of his software. His works have been exhibited at: Art on the Net (Machida City Museum, Tokyo), Net_Condition (ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany), War Bulletin Board (Postmaster's Gallery, NYC), Graffic Jam (Thing.net, NYC) 1998 Prix Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), Mac Classics (Postmaster's Gallery, NYC). Andy studied for a Post-diplôme, at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; and received his MFA in Computer Art at School of Visual Arts, NYC. He has taught at the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo, Sarah Lawrence College, and New York University. Currently he teaches at the School of Visual Arts. For more info: http://www.artcontext.com RICARDO DOMINGUEZ: is a co-founder of The Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT), a group who developed Virtual-Sit In technologies in 1998 in solidarity with the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. He is Senior Editor of The Thing (bbs.thing.net). A former member of Critical Art Ensemble (1987 to 1994 - developers of the theory of Electronic Civil Disobedience in the late 80's). Currently a Fake_Fakeshop Worker (www.fakeshop.com), a hybrid performance group, presented at the Whitney Biennial 2000. Ricardo has collaborated on a number of international net_art projects: with Francesca da Rimini on Dollspace (www.thing.net/~dollyoko), the Aphanisis Project with Diane Ludin. Artificial_Geographic with Fakeshop at Next5Minutes, and distributedhuman.net a recombinant project with net.artist Zhang Ga. He also presented EDT's SWARM action at Ars Electronica's InfoWar Festival in 1998 (Linz, Austria). His first digital zapatismo project was in 1996 - 97, a three month RealVideo/Audio network project: The Zapatista/Port Action at (MIT). His essays have appeared at Ctheory (www.ctheory.org) and recently an article in "Corpus Delecti: Performance Art of the Americas," (Routledge, 2000), edited by Coco Fusco. He Edited EDT's forthcoming book Hacktivism: network_art_activism, (Autonomedia Press, 2001). For more info: www.thing.net/~rdom JON IPPOLITO: is part of the artistic team of Blais/Frank/Ippolito (formerly Cohen/Frank/Ippolito), and is Assistant Curator of Media Arts at the Guggenheim Museum, New York. While most other collaborative teams present their work as a "unified front," Joline Blais, Keith Frank, and Jon Ippolito create installations, books, and Web projects that emphasize physical, verbal, or mental struggles among the three participants. They have exhibited their work at galleries such as Sandra Gering and Storefront for Art + Architecture in New York as well as in a variety of online contexts such as the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. In 1996 they received a DNP Achievement Award for their work Agree to Disagree Online, developed with the assistance of Joline Blais. 1997 they received a Louis Comfort Tiffany Prize for their body of work. In 1993 Jon curated Virtual Reality: An Emerging Medium. Since then, as Assistant Curator of Media Arts at the Guggenheim, Ippolito has curated and coordinated exhibitions that explore
FLUXLIST: Time Out NY Review by Reena Jana of Dystopia + Identity Show out on newsstands!
I was just told that the Time Out NY Magazine review of Dystopia + Identity
Exhibition just came out at newsstands, so I braved the cold + the blistering
street winds + coughed up the $2.75 and also bought a pack of menthol cough
drops--(it's in the Dec. 28, 2000 - Jan. 4, 2001 issue).
[For those of you who don't have access to newsstands where a copy is
available, i am including the article here; the color photo (by architectural
interiors photographer Abel Yee) which accompanies the review shows the
"Media Room" with (from left to right) works by John Boone ("Self Portrait,"
oil on canvas), Jonas Mekas ("Scenes From the Life of Andy Warhol," video),
Hilary Maslon ("Boil Box," acrylic on canvas), Jenny Marketou ("Smell Picks
2000," digital print), Andy Deck ("Pro-Regress," Mac SE), Daniel Garcia
Andujar ("Phoney," cd-rom), and Shu Lea Cheang ("I.K.U. next_protocols,"
digital prints):
"Dystopia and Identity
in the Age of Global
Communications"
Tribes Gallery, through Jan 13
(see elsewhere)
"Tribes Gallery would seem an unlikely venue for an exhibition exploring
our self-awareness in a technology-dominated era. The lengthy show roster
includes 54 artists, some of whom are represented by Web-based works. But
the gallery--contrasting with the show's theme, scale and technical
requirements--is located in a cramped, second-floor walk-up on the Lower East
Side and represents the last vestiges of the neighborhood's low-tech
funkiness.
Yet the show works well, mainly because curator Cristine Wang has
organized the works in a way that emphasizes the fact that Tribes doubles as
someone's home. (The gallery's owner, poet Steve Cannon, usually hangs out on
a beat-up couch.) The front gallery is arranged as a living room, which it
is, and the works come off as elements in a hip computer programmer's crash
pad. A video by Jonas Mekas, which features quickly edited scenes starring
Andy Warhol, plays on a TV within comfortable viewing distance of the couch.
And glossy stills from Shu Lea Cheang's cyberporn movie IKU are tacked on the
wall, hanging above a sculpture by Andy Deck consisting of a gutted but
somehow still functioning Mac SE computer.
A large side room functions as a "salon," crammed with conceptual pieces
ranging from a brilliant digital photograph--which updates a famous Tang
Dynasty scroll painting--by Chinese artist Wang Qingsong to a goopy-looking
sculpture by Roxy Paine. Such works make the place come alive with playful
ideas and sly wit, like a cocktail party with a smart guest list. Finally, a
sunroom in the rear features work addressing nature, including Yael Kanarek's
stunning digital images of virtual environments printed on Plexiglas; Eduardo
Kac's poster of himself with a genetically-altered bunny; and Mariah Corrigan
and Jonathan Herder's moss-and-cement installation, which includes a video of
breeding and dying flies.
In the end, a sense of dystopian dread emerges as a direct result of the
exhibition's homey, casual context. The venue reminds us that the effects of
technology are sometimes pernicious, and reach into every aspect of daily
life."

FLUXLIST: Dec. 2 (6-9pm) Reception: Opening Dystopia + Identity in East Village, NYC
*For Immediate Release* "Dystopia + Identity in the Age of Global Communications" Curated by Cristine Wang (Director, New Media Initiatives, Alternative Museum) Opening Reception: Saturday Dec. 2 (6-9pm) Tribes Gallery 285 East Third Street, NY Dec. 2, 2000-Jan. 13, 2001 + "Machines will lead to a new order both of work and of leisure" --Le Corbusier, Vers une Architecture (1923) Artists at the beginning of the 20th century sought to work in hybrid forms, as a socially-oriented movement, a utopian vision which embodied the idealism of a new order, believing itself capable of changing, reforming, reordering--totally changing all aspects of human life. They embraced the notion of the all-encompassing role of art: the profound belief in the ability of art to affect change. Almost one hundred years later, into the new millenium, we have seen the effects of this utopian vision: the failure of modernism and its various permutations on a global basis. At the dawn of the new millenium, what are the new paradigms for living in this Age of Global Communications? We see that in the work of Betty Beaumont, for instance, in her "Ocean Landmark Project" (1978-1980), located 40 miles beyond New York Harbor, that here is a prototype for sustainable living. It is itself, both an underwater sculpture on a massive scale: 500 tons of an industrial waste product made of processed coal-waste, a potential pollutant that has undergone a planned transformation into a flourishing ecosystem: a poetic vision 70 feet below the surface, on the floor of the Atlantic Continental Shelf. Contrasting with this positive paradigm for inhabitation or regeneration in the world's oceans, Cristoph Draeger offers us his catastrophic vision in his video "Oil" (1998). Utilising found footage of the world's oil spill disasters, he comments upon the way in which we easily forget the question of technological failure, deconstructing our concept of reality as mediated by the news media, hollywood, and other sources of stimuli in the global media-saturated village. "At the end of the 20th century, catastrophe has not become a paradigm of world experience, but rather, because of its ubiquity in the media, the definitive image of "accelerating standstill" (--Paul Virilio). The magnitude of a catastrophe is no longer measured by the number of its victims, but rather by its medial valuation and resulting telepresence--whose impressive images present us with horror as an aesthetic experience." --Dirk Blubaum, The Security of Risk __ _ Cristine Wang 2000 Participating Artists in the Gallery + Online Exhibitions include: Mark Amerika, Daniel Garcia Andujar, Zhao Bandi, Betty Beaumont, Mike Bidlo, Natalie Bookchin, Heath Bunting, Young-hae Chang, Shu Lea Cheang, Mariah Corrigan + Jonathan Herder, Critical Art Ensemble, Andy Deck, Ricardo Dominguez, Christoph Draeger, Laura Emrick, Fakeshop, Peter Fend, Zhang Ga, Joy Garnett, Leam Gilliam, Rick Globus, Ken Goldberg, Marina Grzinic, GH Hovagimyan, Fran Ilich, Eduardo Kac, Yael Kanarek, Olga Kisseleva, Tina LaPorta, Patrick Lichty, Mark Lombardi, Diane Ludin, Jenny Marketou, Hilary Maslon, Jennifer + Kevin McCoy, Emil Memon, Zhu Ming, MTAA, Mark Napier, Carsten Nicolai, Eamon O'Kane, Roxy Paine, Cary Peppermint, Wang Qingsong, Francesca da Rimini, Willoughby Sharp, Jeremy Stenger, Zhou Tiehai, and Gu Wenda.

Jarryd will make some noise while Brendan and Sam will spew forth some retarded rap stylings. Bring your goalie mask. ++ +++ Jarryd Lowder Performance artist. Born 1968, Iowa City, Iowa. MFA School of Visual Ars, Computer Art. His performances "AUTOHARP" and "COMPOSITE CELLS" have traveled worldwide including Roulette (New York), Ars Electronica 99 (Linz).

FLUXLIST: SNAPSHOT: call for submissions Contemp. Museum of Baltimore
***
PLEASE FORWARD
You are invited to participate in a new exhibition organized by the
Contemporary Museum, Baltimore. This exhibition, titled Snapshot, will be
composed of 1,000 or more photographs from international artists and arts
professionals. Each participant is invited to contribute one 4x6in. or
smaller unframed "snapshot" with a title or caption. Participants should
also submit a current résumé for publication.
Organized by Gary Sangster, Executive Director of the Contemporary Museum,
the exhibition and accompanying catalogue will explore contemporary
techniques of popular folk imagery and family documentation-the
snapshot-within the realm of artistic discourse, seeking to identify
overlaps and correspondences between art and non-art imagery, between mass
culture and fine art, and between public image-making by artists and the
personal image-making of individuals.
Snapshot will open at the Contemporary Museum on November 3, 2000. Artists
are requested to submit their materials as early as possible in order to
guarantee their inclusion in the exhibition. No snapshots will be accepted
after October 15, 2000. The exhibition is meant to travel to various
locations so the return date for the snapshots will be determined after the
travel schedule has been set.
Artists at all stages of their careers are invited to participate. The
Contemporary Museum has already received submissions from hundreds of
artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, William Kentridge, Pepon Osorio, Kiki
Smith, and John Waters. Please forward this email any additional artists
you think may be interested in participating.
To be included in the exhibition, snapshots must be 4 x 6 ins. or smaller.
They may be vertical or horizontal. The snapshot should be accompanied by a
caption or title. Each participant should submit no more than one snapshot.
No other conditions apply to the snapshot to be included in the exhibition.
Photographs will be displayed under protective covers and safely mounted in
a uniform format. They will be installed in alphabetical order in a grid
arrangement.
The Contemporary Museum, founded in 1989, is dedicated to promoting creative
interactions between artists and the public, connecting new art to everyday
experience and bringing art directly to diverse and underserved communities.
Well known for its collaborative exhibitions, including Mining the Museum,
an installation by Fred Wilson at the Maryland Historical Society, the
Contemporary Museum opened a permanent exhibition facility in the Fall of
1999.
At the end of this message, you will find a copy of the Loan Agreement form.
An Excel version of the Loan Agreement (with the fine print) is included as
an attachment. Please print out and complete the Loan Agreement form and
