ambit E-protest In Support of Labor and Indigenous Right's In Mexico byEDT
dear all, just forwarding a note from ricardo dominguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] who was recently up in dundee and glasgow for the burning bush 2:doing time. cheers, -iliyana [[ E-protest In Support of Labor and Indigenous Right's In Mexico by EDT - May 31, 2002 - June 1, 2002 - PLEASE PASS ON]] Dear Sisters and Brothers, Once more we ask you to walk with us and shout Ya Basta! Enough is Enough! Once more we ask you to walk with us for globalized human rights. Once more we ask you to walk with us against the transcendence of multinational interests. On May 31st at 9am to 12pm on June 1, 2002, EST. Join the Electronic Disturbance Theater's Virtual Sit-In: http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/ecd.html Against President Fox's Support of the Plan Puebla Panama in Mexico. And In Support of Labor and Indigenous Right's In Mexico. This Electronic Disturbance Theater Performance Is Sponsored By The Berkman Center For Internet Society At Harvard Law School. Once more we ask you to walk with us against the policies of the Mexican government that run counter to the interests of indigenous peoples and workers in Mexico. President Fox is supporting multinationals with measures that erode civil rights, human rights and labor rights. *On June 14, 2001, President Vicente Fox stated; The Plan Puebla Panama is a thousand times more [important] than Zapatismo, or any indigenous community in Chiapas. * *The Plan Puebla Panama encompasses: the construction of hydroelectric dams (42 within the conflict zone of Chiapas alone), highways, platforms for petroleum extraction, gold and uranium mines; the creation of African palm and eucalyptus plantations; and licensing for multinational corporations to engage in bio-prospecting and tree felling. These projects will not respect the rights of indigenous peoples to control and protect their land, to decide the future of their own development, nor to be consulted about any government program that may affect them (rights which are guaranteed by International Labor Organizations' (ILO) Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries, which Mexico signed).* More information at: http://chiapas.indymedia.org/display.php3?article_id=102471 http://www.ezln.org The rights of Indigenous communities of Chiapas are now being overridden by the policies being pushed forward by President Fox's commitment to social control and promoting Chiapas as a very secure market for investors. The United Nations has designated 2002 as the year of the mountains and at the request of the Mexican government--according to a bulletin dated March ,1 2002 from the National Forestry Council of Mexico--the UN has declared, through its Security Council, that forests are [now] a matter of international security. This is a generic policy, meaning it could be applied to any forest area anywhere in the world. This is an extremely dangerous policy aimed at expelling people from any forest area in the globe so exploiters can get at its natural resources. For further information on Plan Puebla Panama you can go to: http://www.ciepac.org/ppp.htm http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/NOPPP/ppp.html Maquiladoras in Mexico's Free Trade Zones violate Mexican labor laws with impunity, often assuming that workers will not have the resources or the knowledge to fight for their rights. In many cases, foreign companies make partnerships with phantom unions, entities that are designed only to serve the interests of corporations by blocking the establishment of independent unions inside maquiladoras. Most recently, Pung Kook of Mexico S.A. of C.V. (that provides services for such international firms as Adidas, Lands End, Patagonia and Danna), has refused to heed the orders of the Arbitration and Conciliation Board in Tijuana to reinstate Raquel Espinoza, a woman maquiladora worker who was unjustly fired from her job at the plant. *Raquel Espinoza has been a maquiladora worker since 1974. Since August 3, 1998, she has been an employee at Pung Kook of Mexico, S.A. de C.V. working as a computer operator.Her workday runs from 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday and 7:30am to 1:00pm on Saturdays. She was unjustly fired on June 11, 2001. At the time of her firing her salary was 50 pesos/day ($5.45 US), which is two pesos less than the minimum professional wage at that time.On April 29, 2002, at 8:50am, Raquel was notified of decision of the Local Arbitration Board dated March first, 2002, ]in which the following resolution which was unanimously supported by the Board members stated that: *C. Raquel Espinoza, authentically verified the actions that were described in her first petition.* *The Pung Kook of Mexico, S.A. de C.V. company is thus ordered to reinstate the worker C. Raquel Espinoza to the job that she carried out with the same terms and conditions, in conformity with this decision.* *Weeks before the issuance of the resolution by the Arbitration Board, on the 1st and 2nd of May, the

ambit Impakt Online: Call for Proposals, Previous Commission Winners
Impakt Webgallery Update: Friday, Feb 21, 2003 http://www.impakt.nl Contents 1) Winners of the Art of the Narrative Commisssion 2) Call for Proposals: Out of the Box [Net.Art and the 'Real World'] Commission 1) Winners of the Art of the Narrative Commisssion Launch Date: April 1, 2003 ---Ramesh Srinivasan: Village Voice ---Tamar Schori: Beadgee Impakt is proud to announce the the two winners of the latest net.art theme, Art of the Narrative. This theme was chosen to reflect on the new ways in which the internet can be used to tell stories, use language and change perceptions. These projects will be launched on the Impakt website April 1. Ramesh Srinivasan's Village Voice is an online video database filled with stories from the Somali refugee community of Boston, Massachusetts. The stories can be accessed by various themes, including government legality, beleifs religion, cultural adaptation and traditional customs. Far from being an ethnographical survey, Village Voice allows these Somalis to speak for themselves, in their own language, about their transition into a new society. Tamar Schori's Beadgee is a whimsical project taking its inspiration from a series of drawings made by Alexander Calder for a collection of 19th Century nursery rhymes entitled Three Young Rats and other ryhmes. Schori has created a new library of drawings, which can be exploded and rearranged by the user. Rearranging the drawings also rearranges the nursery rhymes, and a strange language game ensues. Users will also have to opportunity to enter both their rearranged drawings and new words and phrases into the database for others to play with. 2) Call for Proposals: Out of the Box [Net.Art and the 'Real World'] Deadline: April 1, 2003 No longer content with pure formalism and self-referentiality, and unwilling to be dismissed into the simple catagory of graphic design, net.art is redefining itself in the realm of social critique and commentary. The old elements of hyperlink, the embedded images and sounds, the database and the live stream all remain in place, as do the digital pranks, parasitic spoofs and deliberate 'errors' which gave early net.art its timeliness and humour. Their scope, however, has been refocused and their use redefined in recent years to a razor-sharp critique of technological progress, globalization, and the ever-present machinery of surveillance and control which the internet has helped to usher in. Working from this position, the Out of the Box theme for the Impakt Web Gallery seeks to examine how technology and the internet manifest themselves on the human level by asking such questions as; where do such on-line concepts as navigation, avatar, or algorithm find their place in the real world outside the computer? And, similarly, how can such physical activities such as performance, protest, or love maintain their real-ness in a virtual environment? In short, we seek the point where real life affects the internet,and (more importantly) where the internet affects real life. Impakt will commission two projects for this theme. The accepted commissions for this project will be invited to produce a hybrid project involving a website and a live, real-world intervention [performance, action, prank, interface, etc] which will take place during the Impakt Festival this coming spring, between June 3 and 10. Depending on the submissions we receive, we may invite the accepted artists to collaborate on a single project. Because this is a commission for new works, previously exhibited projects will be immediately disqualified. However, as we realize the timeframe is somewhat short, we are happy to support projects already under development with an eye towards their premiere at the Impakt Festival 2003. Applicants are urged to submit their proposals early so that the editorial team has a chance to go over them and contact with artist with questions and suggestions. Final Deadline: April 1, 2003 Launch: June, 2003 *Proposals must be written in English, and the project accessible to an English-speaking audience *They should include a project description: ---description of content ---technical implementation ---time line ---relation to the theme *They should also include an artist[s] biography: ---short CV ---documentation + URLs of previous projects *Previously exhibited projects will be immediately disqualified Impakt will provide webhosting for the project for 1 year, and pay a fee to the accepted artist[s] of EURO 1000. The winning commission[s] will also be invited to submit a budget for the live event which will take place during the festival.

ambit *new publication* My First Recession by Geert Lovink
My First Recession Critical Internet Culture in Transition By Geert Lovink ISBN 90-5662-353-2 V2_Publishers, Rotterdam, 2003 My First Recession starts after the party is over. This study maps the transition of critical Internet culture from the mid to late 1990s Internet craze to the dotcom crash, the subsequent meltdown of global financial markets and 9/11. In his discussion of the dotcom boom-and-bust cycle, Geert Lovink lays out the challenges faced by critical Internet culture today. In a series of case studies, Lovink meticulously describes the ambivalent attitude that artists and activists take as they veer back and forth between euphoria and skepticism. As a part of this process, Lovink examines the internal dynamics of virtual communities through an analysis of the use of moderation and collaborative filtering on mailing lists and weblogs. He also confronts the practical and theoretical problems that appear as artists join the growing number of new-media education programs. Delving into the unexplored gold mines of list archives and weblogs, Lovink reveals a world that is largely unknown to both the general public and the Internet visionaries. Geert Lovink is a Australian-based Dutch media theorist and Internet critic, a co-founder of numerous online projects such as Nettime and Fibreculture, and the author of Dark Fiber and Uncanny Networks. Table of Contents: Introduction: Currents in Critical Internet Culture; Post-speculative Internet Theory, Three Positions: Dreyfus, Castells, Lessig; Anatomy of Dotcommania, Overview of Recent Literature; Deep Europe and the Kosovo Conflict, a History of the V2_East/Syndicate Network; Principles of Streaming Sovereignty, a History of the Xchange Network; Oekonux and the Free Software Model, From Linux to the GPL-Society; The Battle over New Media Art Education, Models and Experiences; Defining Open Publishing, Of Lists and Weblogs; Conclusion: Boundaries and Sustainable Models. -- V2 Publishing titles are distributed through the publishing house of the Netherlands Architecture Institute.

ambit Fwd: RELAY opportunity Q Arts
Begin forwarded message: From: Louise @ Q Arts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 7 April 2004 16:26:12 BST To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Subject: RELAY opportunity Q Arts Reply-To: Louise @ Q Arts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Artists:Please find attached the brief for the Q Arts RELAY exhibition. All the best Louise Clements Exhibitions Co-ordinator [Olympic] Relay - Artists Brief Q Arts require submissions in the field of contemporary visual art [to include moving image, new media, performance, installation, photography], which interpret the idea of relay, through the creative use of sporting metaphors, parodies or symbolism. The work will form part of a wider Olympic programme, which explores the cultural currency of sport and contemporary art through a range of exhibitions and events [details are listed below]. Submissions responding to this brief will form part of the exhibition at Q Gallery during 7th August 18th September and possibly contribute to the wider programme of related events. The proposal/submission can engage with any, all or more of the definitions of relay as a circuit, a passing on, a transmission, a broadcast, a sporting race, a putting down again of something previously taken up. In this context there is scope for existing work to be interpreted through one of these themes or for work in progress to pick up the relay metaphor as part of its production process. The flexibility of the brief allows for a wide range of work, which can be: web based, interactive, participatory, humorous, a site specific work outside the gallery space, a piece which sets up a relay between the inside and outside of the gallery or a piece which plays off one of the related events in the wider Olympic programme. One idea we are keen for artists to respond to is the format of the Olympic Flame a global relay, consequences, one event following another e.g. global consequences The wider programme consists of a Decathlon event situated in Derby Market Square to incorporate a Sculptural Slalom [the production of objects reflecting a different art movement, as site markers for an active art relay], Art Relay [work will be created through a cumulative assemblage of pieces in a relay circuit] and an Olympic formation performance, based on the choreography of synchronized swimming. The Q Gallery space will also screen a short film Treading Water commissioned in association with Derby Dance Centre. The film engages with synchronized swimming as a peripheral and quirky Olympic sport and acts as a physical relay between the gallery and the Queen St Swimming Baths, which is directly behind the gallery space. The programme opens with a series of small events designed to parody the Olympic Torch Relay the events mark a Q shape across the inner city, starting with the exhibition opening and ending at the market place on 21st August. Proposals mayengage with any of the aforementioned activities in the wider programme, which have already incorporated one or more of the relay definitions described in paragraph 2. As there is a limited budget for new work, an aim is to engage with the creative practice of artists, whose current/existing work complements the ideas, themes and activities. Apply with: artists statement / proposal of work, CV and if relevant images slide/photographs/CDRom/video/plans etc. Please label material that you would like returned, and enclose all relevant contact details.

ambit Fwd: ISEA2004 Conference Outlines Special Price Available
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 17 May 2004 10:46:56 BST To: Iliyana Nedkova-New Media Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ISEA2004 Conference Outlines Special Price Available 'I will be on the ferry because when I attended the ISEA94 in Helsinki, as a part of the conference we also had a 3 day ferry trip to St. Petersburg. It was the best conference experience I had in my life!' -Lev Manovich, Associate Professor, Visual Arts Department, UCLA ISEA2004 CONFERENCE OUTLINES ANNOUNCED ISEA2004 conferences in Helsinki and Tallinn, and on a luxurious cruiser ferry connecting them, are key elements of the 12th International Symposium on Electronic Arts (August 14th-22nd). ISEA2004 starts with the electrified Interfacing Sound cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm, after which the Networked Experience cruise from Stockholm to Tallinn via Mariehamn inspires a range of panels, poster sessions and workshops. Networking sessions will also, for example, be hosted by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Asia Europe Foundation.. After two dazzling nights on the ferry, ISEA2004 participants convene in Tallinn to cover the themes of Wearable Experience, Geopolitics of Media and Critical Interdisciplines: research/science, art and collaboration. Wearable technologies are explored through project presentations of state-of-the art ubiquitous computing in fashion and cultural practices. Issues of technology and embodiment provide a critical context to this discussion. Geopolitics of media looks at the ways in which new media practices reflect diverse media geographies and their relation to real life locations, globalization and activism. Part of the agenda of ISEA2004 is to assess where new media culture and arts are at the moment. To this end the Critical Interdisciplines theme digs deep into the questions of relationships of computer engineering, design, media studies, anthropology and new theories emanating from natural sciences in relation to networked and other new media practices. Tallinn keynote speakers include Arturo Escobar (Colombia/USA) and Sarah Kember (UK). After Tallinn sessions, ISEA2004 culminates in Helsinki, exactly ten years after ISEA94, when the net was still an emergent field. This time Wireless Experience, Histories of the New, Open Source and Software as Culture and Critical Interaction Design will be explored. Wireless experience maps current emerging cultural and social practices of mobile and other wireless media such as radio and WiFi networks. A key theme is how wireless experience is enabling new ways to approach urban cultures and turn public spaces into writable and participatory media. Histories of the new is a key theme to unravel not only the recent ten years of change within the Networked experience, but to look at diverse local histories of creative new media use since the 1960s. The theme also explores the very logic of how new technologies become integrated into the social and the cultural sediments of everyday life experience. Critical interaction design seeks to foreground critical discourse and work around sensitive, contextual, critical work on interactivity. It is also a platform for dialogue bringing together interface designers, computer scientists, media and cultural theorists as well as media artists (who are often hybrids of these). Open source software as culture addresses politics, economical or legal logic, and various cultural and social politics regarding open source, and software at large. The theme positions software as a cultural and a political object and as a subject for debate. Helsinki keynotes include Erkki Huhtamo (Finland/USA), Wendy Hui Kyong Chun (USA), Shuddhabrata Sengupta (India) and Matthew Fuller (UK). ***To download the conference programme by sessions, visit our website: http://www.isea2004.net/programme.html*** HOW TO JOIN ISEA2004 AT THE MOST AFFORDABLE PRICE?

The symposium will be a forum for communication between designers, artists, media workers, animators, architects, etc. as well as for a broad public, interested in digital creativity. It will offer reflections from key speakers, working within the concept and development of digital interaction, and on the role of these technologies in contemporary society. Their focus will be on how digital media allows designers and artists to approach creativity and realise ideas through processes corresponding to those presented by the materials and techniques of other disciplines. The demonstrations will be hands-on for those interested in experiencing a collection of current developments such as the Tacitus haptic (touch) system and sketching in 3D. The symposium on Tuesday 14th aims to provide an exciting programme that is inspirational and gives insight into areas where advancements and developments (such as haptics - touch) in creative digital interactions are happening.
