FLUXLIST: Roshini Kempadoo - Virtual Exiles
New Media Scotland and Street Level Photoworks present: Roshini Kempadoo - Virtual Exiles 20 June to 22 July 2000, Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow http://www.mediascot.org/exiles 'Virtual Exiles becomes a collective way of telling stories, of digitally contributing our own version of what it means to step between two spaces at once. Two cultures, two senses of belonging, two countries we are familiar with. To visually describe this difference becomes an important inscription to everyday encounters and our writing of the past ..' David Dabydeen: Author, poet, and lecturer in Caribbean Studies. Roshini Kempadoo's digital images and web site explore the experiences of individuals who have left their country of origin and who are now at 'home' in another. The reason and experience of having left a homeland always varies, but what doesn't is the relation to the host country - those who have migrated are nearly always considered to be 'outsiders' or 'foreigners'. The work was created by Kempadoo while investigating her own status as refugee/exile/expatriate/emigre in relation to her own country of birth England and her country of origin and upbringing, Guyana. The interactive website is an ongoing curated internet show where individuals and groups are encouraged to contribute their own artwork, whether sound, video, images or text. Visitors are invited to relate their own experiences of being 'settled' and 'rooted' within one culture and yet having a deep sense of belonging with another. The exhibition prints are digitally manipulated images produced using a combination of Kempadoo's contemporary material, and specific historical collections from the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford; Royal Anthropological Institute, London; Museum voor Volkenkunde, Rotterdam; material drawn from private and official archives in Guyana. Virtual Exiles is a partnership between New Media Scotland, Street Level Photoworks, ARTEC, Watermans Arts Centre, Impressions Gallery, Napier University and Lighthouse Media Centre. Additional funding from the Arts Council of England's New Media Projects Fund and the Scottish Arts Council National Lottery Fund. Workshops with young people As part of the exhibition at Street Level a group of young people from across Glasgow will be working with digital artist Lindsay Perth in a series of workshops with a multi-cultural focus. Drawing upon and describing the participants own experiences and family histories, they will create interactive web pages related to the theme of the exhibition. The results will remain on both the 'Virtual Exiles' web site: http://www.mediascot.org/exiles For further information, please contact: New Media Scotland Street Level Photoworks P.O.

FLUXLIST: (email alterations, help needed, new web page, confusion over josh, josh and robert, FLUXLIST BOX i and ii)
this is a repost of stuff ive (obviously) already sent, but ubsure if it
reached the list. i certainly didn't see it.
in reverse order: (email alterations, help needed, new web page,
confusion over josh, josh and robert, FLUXLIST BOX i and ii)
dear all,
i've just finished the "electronic mail alterations" documentation second
edition.
due to me forgetting to put a deadline on the original mail, pieces are
slowly drifting in still.
due to one of my usual spectacular shows of ineptitude, a printer (ahem!
person using the printer, rather) error, the second edition has some "bonus
pages" on which i've stuck some of my texts and a few odds and sods chosen
more or less at random from my files, as well as a few scribblings and
perhaps a bit of collage.
it will of course be the usual badly produced and photocopied nonsense but
if anyone wants a copy,
send a postal address and a good reason to me
al
why do the animated gifs get lost or mixed up on my site?
they either don't appear or as in the case of the most recent addition cause
the one that seems to be lost, to appear where the new ones are!!!
sorry for the unfluxness of this post but i thought that amongst the wealth
of intelligence plugged into the list, some one might have the clue that i
haven't got!
alan
there's some new images on my rather shambolic attempt at a web site
there based on a scan of the little "put your rubbish in the bin" symbol you
get on food packets etc.
they're at

i apologise to robert for getting him confused with josh
i apologise with josh for getting him confused with robert
i have not met either.
robert !
thanks for the stuff!! again, quite wonderful!!!
josh - i'm busy working on the 2nd edition of the "please alter this e-mail"
thing - thanks for your bit which am putting into the book at this moment
('bout f***ing time was the cry)
josh thorp - i haven't forgotten you - it's the end of term here and im busy
getting kids through exams, writing reports, sweating like a gissie and
being bitten to death by mosquitoes - you will get it- i promise :-)
sorry

i think that a many of the pieces show fluxus sensibilities, and they are
from "notFluxus" people
i like the apparent 'simplicity' of the stuff i recieved
there are things that are obvious in what they are, things that sort of,
after a while, you can work out, and things that are
beautiful/interesting/confusing in their own right and that sort of defy
banal "explanation"
i know that i will probably be scorned for this, but, a lot of the time i
dont study works or take a great deal of interest in the academic dissection
of ideas; there are works that i see and think "so?", those that make me go
"oh!" and those that make me go "Hmmm"
all of which i gain from in some way
i don't think that there is much to be gained from discussing the
"fluxusness" of the contents of the box, it is not after all a "FluXuS"
box, it is a co(o)lection of works by people with a similar interest, and a
relatively successful one at that.
let's discuss this
p.s. sol, as one who has a severe weakness for the grape and the grain, i
think you'll find it's "Flurrsstiitishz"
(hee hee "hic" oO°)
sol! sol! the wine's still cheap! you still coming?
alan
oh also,
ken is my dice supposed to only have one number on it? (sorry if i'm being
a bit dim here)
are some of the bits on the online version digital only, is there a disk or
summink?
bernice', eryk etc.
i bet this has all been discussed and resolved hasn't it?
and i was my usual dozy self
yours, last to catch on..
alan
I got it today,
Yippee ay aye,
That box of mine.
Man I feel fine!
And was only a little bit broken, a miracle really.
I opened it with the kids at school, when I was supposed to be making books
with the 5th class. I was impressed with how much they got out of it.
My compliments to all.
Did I get the biggest elephant?
12.8 cm X 8.2 cm X 2cm
Kathy is it ok to drop it in water or will it dissolve like syd barrets
effervescing elephant?

FLUXLIST: 1 fluxlist project
It's been done before --so what! you say-- but snapshots or other effigies/images of one's computer/shrine/altar/workplace would _compile_ nicely. http://kforer.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=defaultuid=defaultview_records=1ID=*nh=15mh=1 George, how did you take this photograph so you got the screen without flicker? It's midnight!!! Kathy (I _finally_ figured out why lovely music's been wafting through my house for the past few days for about 5 minutes, it seemed, then off. When the storm knocked out the electricity --first flicker's a warning, perhaps a branch or squirrel :.( on a power line, second flicker means there's a problem and the third time takes the electricity down finally as it's rerouted around the problem spot-- it reset my batteryless clock radio.)

USE MP3.COM AS SERVER TO HEAR AUDIO FROM EXPOSURE #0001: http://www.mp3.com/hvc LOCATION: HARLEM VISION CENTER - NYC JUNE 24, 2000 7-10PM DIRECTIONS GIVEN TO 12 LUCKY BIDDERS SYNOPSIS: 8-12 participants stand on a blue plastic canvas in a semi-darkened room. Floodlights turn on, bright as hell and synchronous with Techno-music generated from an Apple I-Book. The participants dance, kick balloons around and swig beer. The music stops intermittently along with a return to semi-darkness whereupon the participants fix themselves perfectly still, caught in mid-motion. A photographer then engages the participants with a Polaroid camera and meticulously documents the situation as if it is a crime scene. Polaroids fall out of the camera and onto the floor whereupon the whole sequence of events repeats itself. Participants dance upon the increasing accumulation of their own images. NOTE: On every third completion of the above sequence a selected participant is given instructions via a CD-Walkman that must be followed outside the boundaries of the blue plastic canvas.

FLUXLIST: a soft suggestion
perhaps a new forum is required when one person posts more than five messages in a day (or, as the case may be, an hour). get a room, as they say (a chat room). not trying to be an asshole, honestly. d
Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus, luxus, box...
And what is fluxish with them, most fluxish piece I return still to the fluxbox home page http://www.fluxus.org/FLUXLIST/box1/fbindexm.html. It's really well done in every way. More rare spices from the east for Owen and Sol. What a lot of work to do, but all well worth it. I've moved the box to my computer table, next to the rocks. Bernice Kew's Flash animation is extraordinary! worth going back to, freshly new each time. Is there such a thing as the fluxus smile? I can't find Don Boyd's in the fluxbox, --is it in there?-- but it's related to Bernice's aztec FLUX.

Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus, luxus, box...
Kathy: I believe Don Boyd's is the wonderful, small clay fluxus smile - he sent one to me to scan for a stamp. BTW, write on, please. You're very good at it, very eloquent at your spontaneity , and I'm enjoying reading you catch up from your soujourn away, whilst I go back and forth at stuff that ain't play.
