[spectre] Death of the Mediator? - CMHTS at OneOnOne, IETM meeting, Ghent
Cool Media Hot Talk Show session at Vooruit, Ghent / BE Saturday, Oct. 6, 10-12 AM CET http://www.coolmediahottalk.net as part of the IETM Autumn Plenary Meeting, ONEONONE, an intimate encounter between the artist and the manager, linked together by the bonding power of customised telecommunication, presented by the IETM Secretariat, Arts Centre Vooruit and Flanders Festival. October 4-6, 2007, Ghent http://www.vooruit.be/oneonone Join the discussion on the topic: Death of the Mediator. Web 2.0, Prosumers, and Which Quality? http://www.coolmediahottalk.net/cmobject.jsp? objecttype=topicobjectid=5153 Tune in LIVE at 10 AM on Oct. 6: http://www.coolmediahottalk.net/livepage.jsp -- Death of the Mediator. Web 2.0, Prosumers, and Which Quality? The proliferation of self-publishing by means of social software on the internet at the same time excites and terrifies people. The quality control issue is very much at stake. The mediatory mission of professional institutionalised communities seems to be under thread. Is it? Among the myriad of voices, how to chose whom to listen to, whom to trust? How to find the right ones? How to know if they are the right ones? Or all this does not matter anymore? Everybody is free to go public, speak to the public, and respond on behalf of the public. Everyone is free to acquire her/his own degree of responsibility. As well as irresponsibility. As well as vulnerability. You do not know, who do you speak to, where an occasional stranger at your blog or profile page comes from, what is s/he looking for, what is s/he connected to, whose interests does s/ he serve... How can you be sure about destination of your message? What are the rules of the communication game you play? Do they exist? While we are concerned about quality and quantity of the content, who takes care about the quality of the mechanisms enabling the use and misuse of these emerging productive forces? -- Cool Media Hot Talk Show http://www.coolmediahottalk.net De Balie - Media http://www.debalie.nl __ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre

And yet the 50th anniversary of the launching of the first satellite in the history of humanity prompts us to evoke artists whose vision has been transformed by the conquest of planets. The change from sky to outer space has marked the monumental site where we're standing now: the large wind tunnel of ONERA in France. Yet our performance on this site will transcend such ideological and economic challenges as “space as a tourist destination” — which will soon become a reality— and the continuity of ideas —from those expressed by Nikolaï Federovitch Fedorov in Moscow in 1880 to the “current astro-futurism” noted by Witt Douglas Kilgore in the USA, both of them anticipating the creation of human colonies in space. The question of modernity is not our objective. The pre- and post- WWII artistic avant-gardes and new avant-gardes all turned towards outer space in another fashion, rejecting earth’s gravity to move towards the cosmos. They shaped a more fundamental questioning of man facing the infinite. In 1920, in his introduction to the lithograph album of Suprematism, the Russian metaphysician Kasimir Malevich wrote that “all technical organisms are nothing but small satellites, a whole living world ready to fly off and occupy a specific place in outer space. In truth, each satellite has been equipped by reason and is ready to live its own personal life.” In Italy, the artist Lucio Fontana, who founded Spatialism with the futurist Antonino Tullier in the 50s, later declared “I do not want to make a painting, I want to open up space, to create a new dimension for art and to link it with the cosmos, as it spreads in its infinity beyond the flat surface of the image.” In 1957, Takis — an artist of Greek origin who defined himself as an “intuitive scientist” when talking to the psychiatrist and philosopher Felix Guattari— designed a space suit that allowed one person to be suspended in the air. Wearing this creation, Sinclair Beiles was thus hanging at the gallery Iris Clert in Paris on November 29, 1960, on the occasion of a Takis exhibition entitled “The Impossible: A Man in Space”. In June 1961, Takis gave the following details: “I did not care about aesthetics, or about setting up the first happening in history. I wanted to ‘provoke’ technology. Sinclair was the first man in space. His trip was done out of love and at no cost.” The art critic Guy Brett specified that “this spectacular installation used the resources of magnetism and represented a kind of collision between three universes: art, science and contemporary reality. Five months before Youri Gagarine became the first man to escape the earthly laws of gravity, Takis managed to make the poet Sinclair Beiles float in space thanks to a system of magnets. While he was in levitation, Beiles recited his poem: I Am a Sculpture.” In 1963, the French visionary director-stage-designer Jacques Polieri, becoming aware of the importance of satellites, described how actions taking place at huge distances from one another can also be envisaged via the use of teletechniques. He was even more cosmic in 1964, specifying that the inclination, rotation, orbit and movements of the planetary systems probably make up the very geometrical structure of future scenography. In 1967, he thought up a gyroscopic room made into satellite, and in 1968 he planned a project for a planetary place inspired by man’s first step on the moon. While waiting for a true spatial space, Polieri logically made use of satellite relays for his communication games on an intercontinental scale — like the 1983 event between New-York Tokyo and Cannes, on the theme of man-machine interface. The dimension of artwork beyond the modern discipline of artistic creation has constantly been made livelier by technology and today the cosmic vision of artists has almost become a reality. As early as 1975, another space without geographical boundaries

DR. THOMAS MACHO Please scroll down for English version Was wird kommen, was bringt die Zukunft? Die Frage wirkt erstaunlich altmodisch. Spätestens seit der Jahrtausendwende haben wir uns daran gewöhnt, sie nicht mehr zu stellen. Wir sind vertieft ins Gedenken - ein Ende ist nicht absehbar. Auch die Kulturwissenschaften befassen sich beinahe ausschließlich mit Theorien des kulturellen Gedächtnisses. Dabei haben sich alle Kulturen stets auch in ihrem Umgang mit der Zukunft konstituiert: durch ihre Techniken der Voraussage, der Planung, der Prognostik. Wie zukunftsfähig ist aber unser eigener, unser aktueller Blick in die Zukunft? Wieviel Zukunft geben wir der Zukunft? Mit dem Vortrag von Thomas Macho, Professor für Kulturgeschichte an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, setzt das Edith-Ruß-Haus für Medienkunst die im Herbst 2006 gestartete Gesprächsreihe *Bilderwelten - Wissenswelten.

This question sounds astonishingly old-fashioned. Since the turn of the millennium, at the latest, we have become used to not asking it any longer. We have become absorbed in commemoration. Cultural Studies as well are almost exclusively dealing with theories about cultural memory. All cultures however have also always constituted themselves through their relations to the future: through their techniques of prediction, of planning, of prognosis. But does our own current look into the future have a future? How much future do we grant future? With the lecture by Thomas Macho, Professor for Cultural History at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Edith Russ Site for Media Art continues its series of talks *Image Worlds - Knowledge Worlds. Dialogues between Art and Science*, begun in fall 2006, which examines how the images and knowledge of art and science influence each other and explores possible relationships between art and science.
