The concept of life, death and rebirth has followed humanity through the ages as the self and the collective whole passes through time, creating a relative chain of events that could be called the history of universal human experience. Its through all of these varying histories, and a perpetual creative avant garde that continue to seek a move vivid understanding of the interconnectedness of life. Our great quest to solve the questions of our age could be exemplified by one of humankinds greatest achievements at CERN Labs, Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, the worlds largest machine. As the scientists at CERN continue to probe the most fundamental questions of life and the origins of the universe, we seek artists that are asking similar big questions in their creative practice and use their creativity to reveal the world in new and unexpected ways. Why are we here? What does it all mean? How is it all relative to art in the 21st century? The entire video program will be premiering online at Babelgum to coinside with the opening of Scope Basel 2010.

[NetBehaviour] Mass 'human rights breaches' admitted and regretted by UK police at end of historic case brought by climate campaigners]
Forward from Sustainable Haringey Mailing list Mass 'human rights breaches' admitted and regretted by UK police at end of historic case brought by climate campaigners The largest and most expensive policing operation ever used against a single UK protest (costing £5.3m - including substantial funding from the Home Office) involved 26 police forces for 2 weeks. For 7 days in August 2008 those forces, led by Kent Police, carried out a continuous, systematic and unlawful mass stop and search regime against the public (including a number of people involved in the Sustainable Haringey network). The aim was to try to intimidate, disrupt and isolate those attending the climate camp near Kingsnorth coal fired power station. Despite police harassment and violence, 1,500-2,000 determined activists managed to organise a highly successful week of public events. They also monitored and challenged the police operation. The week-long camp involved extensive discussions and workshops, collective sustainable living, fun for all ages, protests and direct action against government plans to expand coal-fired energy production at the site. Campaigners were calling for non-polluting energy sources to replace coal in the light of fossil fuel's disastrous contribution to greenhouse gases and climate change. Mainly as a result of the protests, the power station's expansion plans have since been suspended. On 29th January 2010 in the High Court in London, 3 claimants chosen as test cases won their case against the police operation when Kent Police admitted 'total surrender'. The three claimants, Haringey resident Dave Morris and 2 children (who can't be named as they are minors), were represented by Bindmans Solicitors. The police accepted an Order that the searches of the claimants had been 'unlawful', and constituted a violation of their human rights to privacy (breach of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights), to freedom of expression (breach of Article 10) and freedom of association (breach of Article 11). Over 3,500 Kingsnorth searches, carried out under 'PACE 1' laws in a similar way at that time, would also have been unlawful. Many of those searched under such laws are now sueing the police and submiting claims for damages. On June 7th 2010, the case was finally concluded with a historic public admission by the Kent police, which they must circulate to all other UK police forces, regretting mass human rights breaches. Now read on! .. Kent police ‘learns the lesson’ of £5.3 million policing operation that resulted in mass human rights breaches Bindmans press release: 9 June 2010 Climate Camp protestors have received an unqualified apology from Kent police for subjecting them to unlawful searches, together with a commitment to disseminate the lessons learned to every police force in the UK and a modest amount of compensation. The settlement brings to an end test case litigation brought by veteran activist Dave Morris and 11 year old twins who were attending the Climate Camp at Kingsnorth in July 2008 as their first political event. Some three thousand five hundred stop and searches were carried out at Kingsnorth pursuant to the unlawful policy. It was set out in a secret, ‘Police eyes only’ briefing document known as ‘Slide 18’, the existence of which was only revealed immediately before the final court hearing. Kent Police had previously argued that searching officers had the necessary individual suspicion to justify every search. In January the Divisional Court held that there had been human rights breaches in each of the test cases but referred the question of what redress needed to be made to the County Court if it could not be agreed. A settlement has now been reached under which the new Chief Constable of Kent will write to every other force stating: “During the Operation… a briefing was issued which did not give reasonable grounds to stop and search the Claimants under section 1 PACE. The material part … headed Slide 18, is also attached to this letter. As the October 2008 review undertaken by the National Police Improvement Agency found, this was interpreted as an instruction to search everyone. This interpretation by Officers within these circumstances has led Kent Police to face what it is we face today. Many people were searched as a result of these briefings. That should not have happened. I accept that the combination of the act of stopping and searching these individuals breached their rights under Articles 8, 10 and 11 ECHR and lessons must be learned.” The solicitor acting for Mr. Morris and the twins John Halford from Bindmans LLP commented: “Kent Police has been forced to make a remarkable admission, thanks to this test case. It is that the outcome of one of the most expensive policing operations ever in the UK was the violation of the human rights to protest on a massive scale. That such an admission has now been made in a letter to be sent to every other force, coupled

Artyčok was founded as a non-for-profit broadcasting internet TV platform at the Academy of Arts in Prague to feature news from the contemporary arts scene. In 2005, digital archive was established for contributions from exhibition's openings, interviews with artists/curators and documentaries from workshops, art competitions and lectures. In the past five years we have featured more than 700 contributions, which are published online at 8 AM of the Central European Time everyday. In our online digital archives you can find works of more than 1500 artists from around the world. ARTYCOK Recommends: Prague / ALPY IM VRANNÍM SLUNÍČKY NO.5 Visual artist Mark Ther presents and directs the fifth part in a series „ALPS IM VRANNÍM SLUNÍČKY NO 5. for the ArtyChoke platform where he visits an exhibition by Herbert Tobias, the Trmal’s villa by architect Jan Kotĕra and an exhibition of props from a children’s TV programme in the eighties in former Czechoslovakia.

Bratislava / BROŇA SCHRAGGEOVÁ: ME AND MY BROTHER An intimate statement, expressed in the original handwriting follows the tradition of illustrated books and in conjunction with its subject matter it revives the genre‘s exchange of communication with audience. Belgrade / LECTURE PEFORMANCE Is contemporary art a product of fascination with aesthetic objects or a space for a generation of knowledge? How does art operate in relation to knowledge in academic, science or media realms and how does this exchange of information work? What aesthetic and formal methods does it employ in order to establish this specific modus operandi? Featuring: Backstrőm Fia, Benjamin Walter, Boudry Pauline, Lorenz Renate, Graham Dan, Fraser Andrea, Leckey Mark, Morris Robert, Show Pinky, Piratbyrån, Rosler Martha, Spomenik Grupa, TkH, V-Girls, Voss Jeronimo, Zdjelar Katarina and Verwoert Jan České Budĕjovice / LAWRENCE WEINER: TAKEN FROM THE WIND AND BOLTED TO THE GROUND Lawrence Weiner (1942) was one of the first and most prominent artists in New York who were in the forefront of a new emerging artform - the conceptual art of the late 1960s. In České Budĕjovice he will introduce a new site-specific installation still bearing his authentic signature style he has worked in for some time now. The work is available both in original English and Czech versions. Video Art / David Možný: VIRTUAL SOUL WASTE Virtual soul waste video is a short visual narrative taking us on a trip through the world of odinary urban environments. It is made out of digitalised offset prints taken from books on 70’s socialist architecture and about houskeeping. Crumbling scenes of buildings and empty rooms evoke the intimate atmosphere balancing between cosiness and cataclysm. David Možný is graduate of art education at the Pedagogical Faculty of Masaryk University in Brno. In 2000 he started working with a computer and after a few video-installations and practice of VJing he succeeded in international context with video for the band Naše vĕc . His work can be considered as a top in animation and new media not only in the Czech Republic. ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

[NetBehaviour] Beyond Privacy - New Notions of the Private and Public Domains
We've discussed in this list sometimes about the threats to privacy that Social Networking sometimes entails... In our review of Future Sonic '09, Ruth I also started to consider whether the whole notion of privacy wasn't already dated and we needed to find news ways to address the pervasiveness of these platforms. This book might be of interest to those that have been having similar ideas... -- (Originally posted in Networked_Performance) Beyond Privacy New Notions of the Private and Public Domains -- -- Privacy is a right that protects one’s private life, a right that is not only established by law, but also has a political and a social significance. It can be experienced and observed differently by individuals and groups, depending upon their position in society and the desires and interests that are involved. In Open 19, the concept of privacy is examined and reconsidered from the legal, sociological, media theoretical and activist perspectives. The focus is not so much on deploring the loss of privacy, but taking the present situation of ‘post-privacy’ for what it is and trying to gain insight into what is on the horizon in terms of new subjectivities and power constructions.
