SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
INTERNET RESEARCH 1.0: THE STATE OF THE INTERDISCIPLINE
FIRST CONFERENCE of the ASSOCIATION OF INTERNET RESEARCHERS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE KS, USA
SEPTEMBER 14-17,2000
Conference Website: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/aoir/
The growth of the Internet is one of the greatest cultural phenomena of
our time, impacting almost all areas of life. It is crucial to build
knowledge about the Internet's socio-cultural dimensions. Despite great
interest, knowledge-building in Internet research is hindered by a lack of
international, centralized opportunities for scholars from different
disciplines to interact. This international conference, the first meeting
of the Association of Internet Researchers, will focus on the Internet as
a distinct interdisciplinary field for research. It will bring together
prominent scholars, researchers, and students from multiple disciplines
for keynote addresses, paper presentations, formal and informal discussions.
The Association of Internet Researchers (A.(o).I.R.) invites submissions
of between 150 and 250 words on all topics that address any social,
cultural, political, economic, or aesthetic aspects of the internet. We
welcome submissions from any discipline and encourage international and
interdisciplinary work as well as submissions from those producing new
media or working in multimedia studies.
The deadline for submissions of paper/session proposals is 15 MARCH, 2000.

ART-ACT 15 -- Newsletter of the "Anti-Racist T-shirt Art Contest Tour"
Check out ART-ACT's latest submission - Laura Craighead Weaver's t-shirt art
submission "New World" at
http://www.art-teez.org/artists/lcw1.htm
She says:
"Attached is a gif of my T-shirt design. I think your project is wonderful.
http://Albiond.tripod.com/PandOhomepage.html
This URL links to a page that offers a children's book with the same theme
of your project. I created all of the oil paintings that were then
photographed, scanned and arranged in a PDF format. The story is about a
friendship between two very different animals and the focus is to promote
anti-racist ideas in a way small children can understand."
LATEST ART-ACT NEWS
SURPRISE! We previewed ART-ACT in real space. And we received press in
Streetwise which covered our surprise exhibit at ARC Gallery. Streetwise is
a weekly newspaper sold by homeless vendors on the streets of Chicago. It
covers artists and others the regular press avoids.
The coverage of art events in Chicago by news outlets is always minimal.
However, they like to follow the moves of high profile bigots. It is also
difficult to get good coverage in our city and state for those who are
working to build an
alternative society by fighting hatred. Is this the same reality the Nazi's
exploited in
Germany to build an organization strong enough to court corporate backing in
the 1920's and 30's? It can happen here. Especially, if people are too
afraid, ashamed, or apathetic to even discuss cultural clash, ethnic issues
and engrained historically racist patterns.
This silence is all the bigot needs to organize his troops of hatred to
build a viscous circle of violence, press coverage, confrontation, press
coverage, fear, increased polarization and more hatred and more press.
We do not have the cheap trick of violence to attract the attention of the
press so, perhaps, we should find creative ways to cooperate to create press
attention for groups working against hatred. Send us any ideas for posting
in this newsletter.
Thank you Streetwise for your voice in the wilderness.
BUILDING INTERACTION
In the previous ART-ACT Notes I mentioned how we created a flier to invite
exhibit goers to respond with comments. These fliers sporting ART-ACT
submissions on one side a space for viewers of the exhibit to respond did
not work to gain written responses. They did add all the images on our
website to our exhibit and were well seen by the visitors to our exhibit at
ARC. We will continue to find ways to build discussions under the art of
ART-ACT. One way is to add links to appropriate essays on racism or
diversity already posted on the internet. We invite you to send us suggested
links to appear under ART-ACT submissions.
We continue to encourage anyone viewing the artists images to
respond to one or more images with comments on the artists work
as they see it. How does the image relate or fail to relate to our theme,
in your view. Speculate or re-phase what the artist says to you or
disagree, with reasons, with what you think the artists is saying or
let the art bring out a story of your own that needs telling.
Ask the artist questions. He/She may answer you! Make your
statements. A discussion beneath every image is our intended goal.
Then we can add links to new interesting comments in this newsletter.
Speakout and win a free t-shirt from our "Screen Print Workshop for
Artists." A free t-shirt to the twenty-first commentator on
artwork in our ART-ACT exhibit. Just click on COMMENTS
below any image in ART-ACT and send us your thoughts.
SUPPORT DIVERSITY -- FIGHT RACISM
Do you know a college professor or teacher who could use this collection of
art to excite discussion in their class room of the many issues related to
racism and diversity?
Tell them about us or send us their e-mail address and we will contact
them. Their students' written comments could be published on our site below
the art they apply to!

=================================================
February 1, 2000
Vancouver/Canada and Cracow/Poland
Polish "Green Brigades" need help
Grassroot publications denied government funding
Withdrawing public funds from a country's leading independent magazine
does not contribute to freedom of information. For publishing alternative
information on NATO war in Yugoslavia, depleted uranium weapons, and the
hypocrisy of some European Greens re human rights in Kosovo, the "Green
Brigades Ecologist Magazine", a Polish environmental bi-weekly, received a
death sentence from the government-run fund for the protection of the
environment. Well-read "Dzikie Zycie", "Kropla" and many other small,
independent publications shared a similar fate.
Andrzej Zwawa, the chief editor of the Green Brigades Publishing House is
trying to rescue the magazine, despite government decision. He issued a
petition to the government in Polish and English, which supporters can
sign on the Internet at http://www.most.org.pl/zb/gbnfos.htm.
The punishment was dealt under the pretext of withdrawing funds from small
publications. With a circulation of only 1,000 copies every 2 weeks,
Polish "Green Brigades" serves as an information exchange forum for the
country's environment and community movement, as well as the general
public. The bi-weekly appears on the Internet, where it enjoys far greater
readership. The staff, facilities and equipment are basic. Often 3-5
people work on less than adequate computers in a cramped space, equivalent
to half the area of a plushy office in the government or its fund.
All texts in "Green Brigades" come from volunteer authors, who are
proponents and opponents of diverse religions, political and military
alliances, organizations, ideas and worldviews. Although an unfair 1998
article in respectable "Polityka" weekly unfairly labeled it "sectarian",
the environmental bi-weekly remains one of Poland's few non-bigoted
publications. Access to the records of the granting decision was denied,
but well-informed sources maintain that the commission refused the funding
because texts of "...anarchists, leftists, opponents of bombing of
Yugoslavia by NATO..." have appeared in the condemned publications.
The grassroots activists wonder how much influence sectarian hysteria
exerts on the funding decisions. A recent book by two Catholic clergy,
professors Slipko and Zwolinski, titled "Rozdroza ekologii" (cross-roads
of ecology) manipulates original statements of environmentalists to make
them look sectarian and dangerous to society. According to the professors
in cassocks, vegetarianism is a religion, and Greenpeace "...have no idea
what is really harmful and hazardous for the environment… while promoting
technologies that are lethal for the environment." Using the book as court
evidence, the mayor of Bielsko, the seat of "Dzikie Zycie", refused city
funding for this publication.
Zwawa's bi-weekly featured numerous authors from Western Europe and North
America on topics ranging from deep ecology, through deforestation,
organic farming, agrotourism and global climate change, to the use of
depleted uranium weapons in Yugoslavia. "Green Brigades" held an interview
with Niaz Dorry of Greenpeace USA, the 1998 "Time" magazine 'Hero of the
Planet'. It also presented: the North American solar aquatic method of
treating sewage; a community sustainability project downtown Vancouver,
British Columbia; the controversy over Makah whale hunt off the coast of
Washington state; the clear-cutting of old-growth rainforests in Canada;
the risks from marine aquaculture and overfishing worldwide; the struggle
of American Indians to retain their lands; the warming up of Alaska; and
many other topics.
The articles presented to the Polish reader international organizations,
such as Greenpeace, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Norwegian
Environmental Protection Agency, Sierra Club, Western Canada Wilderness
Committee, Friends of Clayoquot Sound, Raincoast Conservation Society,
Forest Action Network, People's Action for Threatened Habitat, Raging
Grannies, Eco-Cafe, American Association for the Advancement of Science,
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Global Climate Coalition, US
National Fisheries Service, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, Georgia Strait Alliance, Makah Tribal Council, Worldwatch
Institute, International Whaling Commission, World Council of Whalers,
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, American Ocean Campaign, Canadian
Museum of
Nature, Ocean Voice International, Harvard Medical School - Health and
Global Environment Centre, Ecological Action Centre in Halifax, Hatfield
Marine Sciences Centre, and many other.

brain that conceived it.
n =D8 1 s e, hazy images and sudden sparks, random mutations and puzzling
glitches, can all become the sources of innovation and beauty.

mtaa apologize for cross-postings
+++
mtaa's current project, called vieweratstar67@yahoo.com (the 3mb
Annexation), is a site specific and website specific work created for
a group exhibition entitled 'BI Virtue' taking place at star67
gallery in brooklyn.
with this project we wish to engage a number of issues:
1) the commercialization of a formerly non-commercial and private
area of cyberspace. specifically the simple email box.
2) the limits of the interface.
3) the relation of net art to the traditional gallery.
4) the update of a pop art strategy to the online world.
with the 3mb Annex we transform the commercialized private space of a
yahoo email box into a public space, yet one may be filled with doubt
as to how one may function within this space.
Yael Kanarek - "I wasn't sure if i should do it, but since they gave
out the name and password I did. now I feel guilty. did I ruin the
piece?"
one can do whatever yahoo allows in this space, mriver and twhid
don't make the rules, they follow the rules.
the installation of the 3mb Annex in the star67 gallery space is
ugly. it consists of a large-format ink-jet print of a netscape
browser window on the macintosh 8.6 platform displaying the email
interface of the yahoo.com website displaying an email message from
the vieweratstar67 account. the content of the message is the
original proposal to the curator at star67 gallery. sitting on the
floor under the print is a large gray base (one you would see in any
art gallery) with an old macintosh performa sitting on top of it. the
performa is running os7.6 and a netscape navigator 3 browser
connected to the vieweratstar67 account so that gallery visitors may
browse through the online portion of the project.
the paragraph above lists a number of self-imposed limits which mtaa
(and our collaborators) need to operate within in order to create
this work; things that exist out of mtaa control. is the design of
the computer, the yahoo interface, the os part of the artwork? limits
to the artwork? assets to the artwork? do they define exactly what
can be said? or does the information as artwork exist freely,
unencumbered by all the imposed rules it needs to follow?
vieweratstar67@yahoo.com is an experiment.
mtaa invite you to send email as artwork to vieweratstar67@yahoo.com
access this net artwork at http://mail.yahoo.com
username: vieweratstar67
password: annex
mtaa would like to thank those that have taken part in vieweratstar67 thus far:

Announcing
Assemblage: The Women's Hypertext Gallery
at the trAce Online Writing Community
http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/traced/guertin/assemblage.htm
Assemblage is the first collection of new media art texts being created by
women in hypertext on and off the World Wide Web around the globe.
Showcasing hundreds of works, there are a wide variety of tones, schools,
genres and generations in this Gallery: prose, poetry, theory,
autobiography, strident cyberfeminist polemic, quiet self-affirmation,
innocence and experience, and visual/textual arts not yet classifiable.
There are works that use traditional narrative forms or language (not
necessarily English) in innovative ways, and texts that create new forms by
interweaving word and image in patterns that transform both. The common
ground is the non-sequential--the hypertextual--use of words and images to
birth possible worlds in this new art form, and to create present tense
textual spaces for readers to explore.
Assemblage is featured as part of the website of trAce, an online community
and consultancy which encourages writers to discuss writing, share their
work, collaborate and experiment online. Based at The Nottingham Trent
University in the U.K., trAce is always keen to showcase new web-specific
works and provide development opportunities for writers working on the
internet.
(The Gallery is updated monthly. Please submit relevant urls to
cguertin@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca to have work considered for inclusion.)
Join us.

ARCHÉE
>>>>> Une entrevue de Josephine Bosma avec Steve Dietz
«Il a été plus difficile de convaincre les musées de la valeur actuelle du
cyberart que de les faire passer à l'information en réseau et aux échanges
intermuséaux.» (Steve Dietz)

>>>>> Hackers : un nouveau mode de régulation de la société en réseau
Par Denis Labrosse
La sécurité et la confiance aux technologies sont au cœur de la réalisation
et du maintien des réseaux. Or, de plus en plus, on réalise que la sécurité
informatique absolue est une illusion et que la seule sécurité disponible
est celle que permet l'innovation constante des programmeurs.

>>>>> Les enfants terribles du cyberart
Par Kathleen Goggin
...en ouvrant toute grande la porte au flux informationnel on donne
inévitablement la chance aux bousilleurs de systèmes informatiques d’y
trouver refuge.

Sommaire
http://archee.qc.ca/sommaire.htm
>>> Dernière nouvelle : Le musée d'art moderne de San Francisco (SFMOMA)
vient de mettre en place un prix annuel d'une valeur de 50,000 (US) pour
encourager la création cyberartistique. Ars Electronica (Autriche) ne sera
plus le seul décideur de cette nouvelle esthétique. Est-ce le début d'un
vague américaine qui tente de s'inscrire profondément dans l'histoire du
cyberart?

Times on the Web) :

Bonne lecture et prenez garde à votre peau virtuelle, elle vaut son pesant
quantique.
