You don't need an entry in Wikipedia about yourself in order to add
information to another page.

 Well, apparently you're not allowed to represent yourself on wikipedia

Yes that's to avoid vanity pages and propaganda pages. It's a good
rule but it gets silly when the person the page is about can't edit it
despite it being wrong.

 I think this does a great job of
 showing what kind of knowledge Wikipedia actually contains, knowledge
 gained from mass media sources.

Sadly this is true. The self-selected editors at Wikipedia often seem
unable to find or recognise sources for citations that fall outside of
the mainstream press or the geek press .

I think that the solution to this is for those of us who understand
new media art (etc.) to *organise* on Wikipedia and to help prepare
articles about new media art (etc.) to survive deletion reviews.

 Apparently, I'm a case of a non-notable autobiography. Thanks, Wikipedia.

Just saying I can't Google person X isn't grounds for deletion if
they have other published secondary sources that refer to them.

When using Google to help establish the notability of a topic,
evaluate the quality, not the quantity, of the links.

this is the best thing i have heard so far in this whole wikipedia dispute.

it is obvious that wikipedia has its strategy, and that it represents an
innovative and libertarian approach just as much as a facebook does. it's
nice that they exist (yes, even facebook, as we've all seen great uses for
it), but as anything they need to be used critically. otherwise you fall
under the influence (and ruleset, and attitude) of yet another managerial
crew.

performing inside wikipedia, just as much as hacking facebook or making a
graffiti on a public building, is part of what many do as a form of
reappropriation that finds its roots deep into art and activism of the last
century.

sadly, being banned, or arrested, or kicked in the butt, is part of the
game.

the most significant thing to do is to get organized and to get things done.

 Italian Pirate Bay Trial in the Making.

 Following the Swedish verdict, Italy is now considering starting its own

 During August last year, The Pirate Bay was censored in Italy when
 ISPs were ordered to block access to the worlds largest BitTorrent
 tracker. The Pirate Bay appealed the block and eventually won the court
 case. In October the Court of Bergamo ruled that no foreign website can
 be censored for alleged copyright infringement.

 However, with the Swedish verdict against The Pirate Bay in hand, the
 Italian justice authority is now looking into the possibility of
 starting their very own trial against the Pirate Bay 'operators'.
 Interesting to say the least, because The Pirate Bay and those involved
 with the site have no direct link to Italy.

i totally agree with the organising - at the end of the day, keeping 
something on wikipedia is really about how many numbers you can muster 
who are prepared to vouch for something.

 thanks tim for volunteering to help. here are a few to start with:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furtherfield - has been deleted, reposted, 
 survived a second (or third?) deletion attempt; currently flagged as 
an orphan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberformance - survived a deletion attempt 
in september last year, but for some reason is now tagged as reading 
like an advertisement, which is bizarre.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_art - i forget the history of this 
page, but it's struggling - currently has 3 flags on it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UpStage - currently flagged as an orphan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life - needs citations

 those are just the ones that i've been trying to keep an eye on - i'm 
sure there are loads more ...

[NetBehaviour] Direct Digital | a new media art event

2009-05-05 Thread Redazione Digicult
Sorry for any crossposting

Digicult presents:

Direct Digital | a new media art event
Modena | Carpi (Italy) - 30th May  28th June 2009

presented by: Artegenti
in collaboration with: Movimenta
with the precious contribution of: Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Modena

www.directdigital.org | www.digitaldirection.org | 
http://www.digicult.it/En/2009/DirectDigital.asp



Direct Digital
Exhibition | Live media | Workshop | Cinema | Contest

Direct digital is a new media art event presented by the cultural 
association Artegenti, which will take place from 30th May 2009 to 28th June 
2009 in Modena and Carpi (Italy), in the Ex-Ospedale Sant'Agostino and in 
Palazzo Pio, under the conception and artistic direction of Gilberto 
Caleffi. Direct Digital will be presented in preview on Saturday the 8th of 
May with a live exhibition of the visionary musician Dm Stith at the Circolo 
Zuni in Ferrara.

Direct Digital proposes a thick calendar of five sections, Exhibition, Live 
Media, Workshop, Cinema, Contest in order to show a detailed perspective of 
the most recent developments of art and creativity linked to the use of 
digital technologies. The event, at its first edition, aims at becoming a 
benchmark for those who are interested in knowing, proposing and creating 
moments of meetings between contemporary art and digital innovation.

In the last years the spread of informatics has brought to a revolution that 
is still in progress, both regarding the instruments and the ways of making 
art, and the modalities of production and display of the creative act. A 
constant contamination and reprocessing of the languages is destroying the 
boundaries among the different forms of artistic expression and, at the same 
time, is perceiving the viewer as an active character, involved in multiple 
forms of participation: live media, networking, interactive exhibitions, 
interaction, urban design. Direct Digital puts together in a 
multidisciplinary platform the most interesting expressions of these
creativity forms, in order to allow to an heterogeneous and full of artists, 
fans and thinkers audience, to meet and exchange views about making art in 
the digital age.

THE EXHIBITION

Exhibition is the section dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary and 
digital art Il canto del corpo elettrico (The singing of the electrical 
body), organized by Gilberto Caleffi, that will take place in Modena at 
Ex-Ospedale Sant'Agostino and in Carpi at Palazzo dei Pio from 30th May to 
28th June, and that will be presented to the journalists 29th May.

The title of the exhibition is based on a verse by Walt Whitman, rearranged 
by Ray Bradbury,  dedicated to the relationship between art and new 
technologies applied to the fields of animation, video, music and design. 
The digital wants to stimulate a language commixture which is shown in  a 
selection of artworks divided into two major sections, video art and 
interactive art, hosting some of the most relevant names of the contemporary 
artistic experimentation: Nam June Paik, Bill Viola, Andy Warhol, Douglas 
Gordon, Philippe Parreno, Sam Taylor-Wood, Tony Oursler, Chris Levine, 
Julian Opie, Gina Czarnecki, Heinrich Gresbeck, Golan Levin, Rafael 
Lozano-Hemmer, Takahiro Matsuo, Jin-Yo Mok, Kenichi Okada, Agostino Di 
Scipio, Mimmo Rotella.

The video art section puts together authors that come from different periods 
and spheres, comparing them through their works in order to find a common 
interest in time, memory, perception and duplication, elaborated through the 
electronic languages. They analyse the relationship among human beings, art 
and metaphysic dimension through the handling of languages and materials. By 
altering time and space notions, the artists succeed in modifying the 
original organization of the communicative flow, and transform the consumer 
object in artistic experimentation's matter. The artist feeds his own 
imaginary of atmospheres, suggestions and quotations taken from mass 
communication, and re-edits them in his own artwork that becomes, in this 
way, remainder of his individual experience and mirror of his own time.

The exhibition also includes a section dedicated to the relationship between 
interactive art and pop culture. Interactive art analyses the relation 
between human beings and technology, studies the relationships among the 
available technologies, combining them with human necessities and desires in 
the contest of everyday experience. The exhibition path Il canto del corpo 
elettrico does not want to come to a conclusion, but it wants to create a 
chance to make questions about the interaction between human beings and 
technology, and between human beings and communication means, throughout the 
questions and the reflections stimulated by the artworks.

The exhibition catalogue, by Marco Mancuso and Claudia D'Alonzo and realized 
with the support of Nuova Grafica, is a further instrument of

humiliation from bullying authorities. Many classified as criminals,
whilst the real criminals enjoy their extreme forms of liberation via
their privelaged positions.

  Helo there!
 
  yes it is incredible.  even more as the whole process began with the
trialfor k  being started with a unilateral accusation, sponsored by
consulents of the editors' and publishers' organizations present in
italy (such as SIAE and FMI).
 
  which is just as if person X, today, would go to the police and say
oh, well, i THINK that xDxD (or marc garrett, or anyone else) is a
criminal. And the police come after me. With no proof or documentation
apart from some screenshots in which a series of  *rows show numbers
separated by dots next to a date and a string containing the name of a
movie, dot AVI* .
 
  but then again, italy's not the easiest of places to be during these
last few years. reminds a lot of the 1940's, in a new mediatical form.
 
  we co-organized with RomaEuropaFAKEFactory and Art is Open Source a
meeting on/with the Pirate Bay on the same day as the presentation in
the senate, together with Luca Neri, who recently published a book on
the whole issue:

  and then there has been a big event which received lots of media
coverage:

  (sorry, the reports are in italian, but they might prove useful anyway)
 
  nothing has changed. :(
 
  take care!

  Italian Pirate Bay Trial in the Making.
 
  Following the Swedish verdict, Italy is now considering starting
its own
  trial against the people involved with The Pirate Bay. This would
be the
  first criminal prosecution against the Pirate Bay 'founders' outside
  their home country.
 
  During August last year, The Pirate Bay was censored in Italy when
  ISPs were ordered to block access to the worlds largest BitTorrent
  tracker. The Pirate Bay appealed the block and eventually won the
court
  case. In October the Court of Bergamo ruled that no foreign
website can
  be censored for alleged copyright infringement.
 
  However, with the Swedish verdict against The Pirate Bay in hand, the
  Italian justice authority is now looking into the possibility of
  starting their very own trial against the Pirate Bay 'operators'.
  Interesting to say the least, because The Pirate Bay and those
involved
  with the site have no direct link to Italy.
