transmediale.01 - international media art festival berlin
DIY [ do it yourself ! ]
4 - 11 February 2001
The transmediale.01 will award three prizes - each worth DM 10.000 -
in the categories: Interactive, Video and Artistic Software.
In the INTERACTIVE section, interactive installations were invited together
with virtual environments, CD-ROMs, DVDs, Internet and performance projects
etc. in which visitors or users are not simply "interpassive" but are
encouraged to respond and act in a creative manner.
The VIDEO section covers linear, time-based presentations searching for new
aesthetic forms of expression. These can be on DVD, various video formats
or film (up to 35 mm).
The as yet barely defined field of ARTISTIC SOFTWARE incorporates projects
in which self-written algorithmic computer software (stand alone programmes
or script-based applications) is not merely a functional tool, but is
itself an artistic creation and a form of aesthetic expression.
Jury:
Interactive
Alex Adriaansens (NL)
Soeke Dinkla (D)
Michael Saup (D)
Video
Catrin Backhaus (D)
Angela Melitopoulos (D)
Gereon Schmitz (D)
Software
Florian Cramer (D)
Ulrike Gabriel (D)
John F. Simon (US)
The juries have nominated a shortlist of 6 projects in each category. These
projects will be presented by the artists in a programme on the afternoon
of Saturday 10 February 2001. The winners will be announced during the
prize ceremony on the same day, starting at 20.30 hrs.

< t e x t >
deconstruction is herein used as a generic
non-proprietary keyword to describe the
pragmatic utility of theoretical (theory-
rhetorical) ideas and ideologies.
nothing can be said in terms of reason nor
logic to further clarify, and importantly,
simplify the concepts based upon language
of which deconstruction represents. other
than that deconstruction, as a word, can
be seen to be of both 'construction' and
'destruction' in its structure, that is:
de-con-struction
de- struction
con-struction
the symbolic enhancement of the word, in
its structural formalism, can be re-
presented as:
de|con-struction
wherein the pipe `|' symbol represents
a logical dividing line, and the hypen
`-' represents a continuity between the
infrastructural fragments of the word.
therefore, de|con-struction, with logic
and reason aided by visual symbols, can
be seen as a questioning and answering.
the sublime language in which deconstruction
is used, as a keyword, is passively reflected
in its application of the language of signs,
and not as a vivid interrogation of language
as a symbolic logic of these message signals.
one example is in the realm of identity, in
which the language inherited by most English
readers/writers is fused with a perspective
which is inherently privatized. this is best
exemplified in gender, where the basis for
public and private identity, and thus language,
are grounded. it is more than coincidence that
the deconstruction of the individual is still
defined by gender today.
he man male mankind
she woman female womankind
s|he wo|man fe|male wo|man-kind
a symbolic structural language transcending
gender as identity need include both gender
and its annihilation in the construction and
the destruction of individual identity.
the impossibility of this is evident in the
concept of humanity, as it is based on the
identity of man, and yet it conceptually
represents, moreso than its literal signal,
a communality of identity and a basis for
equality.
therefore, the human identity is not to be
based only on history nor her-story but on
`the human story' of i, you, me, and we as
human beings. the division of public and
private identities then become easier to
decipher.
for example, speaking as wo|men, (men-or-
women, or men-and-women) we will never be able
to achieve a common human identity of equality
as there is a choice for differentiating being.
the philosophical example of this conundrum is
the hermaphrodite as the identity which can
transcend this trap, where man becomes woman
and woman becomes man, sexually and conceptually.
the hermaphrodite is the basis for an inclusive
human being, a both-and either-or identity which
at once negates and affirms constitutions and
constructions of identity based on gender. this
is because the hermaphrodite is literally a
symbolic wo|man, whose logic deconstructs the
signs of traditional Western identity.
all human beings are hermaphroditic in the sense
that to find community in the differences that
divide us privately, we need to find commonality
or continuity in those things that bind us together
as one people, a unique and wide-ranging being that
we share as a public beyond our individual selves.
how else can `we' speak of 'our' future, or of working
together as equals, than to speak in human terms?
to do this does not require deconstructing texts,
in as much as concepts and structures which pre-
dispose action through traditional channels, be
they institutional or relational.
one way to do this is through aesthetics, the
design not only of things but ideas, visions,
and the symbolism they collectively carry in
the cultural sub-, un-, & supra-conscious.
architecture is a way of seeing this symbolism
of deconstruction literalized in the aesthetics
of physical, buildings in-formation.
architecture is no different from words and language
in that it has a structural relationship between
fragments of ideas, as it both creates and destroys
itself in order to exist.
yet the paradox is denied, and the 'finished'
building, much like the 'finished' text, are
professionalized, aestheticized, and stylized
as ideological constructions, building upon
the inherited institutional reality, no longer
challenging nor changing it. while there may
be meaning in the symbolism, it remains mostly
privatized and proprietary, guarding its source
code to increase its rarity and value in the
closed systems in which it functions. thus,
the school of thought as a continuation of
stable signs legitimately deconstructed to
maintain the status quo continue the legacy
of the `intellectual' corporate enterprise
as private endeavor.
to see architecture de|con-structed requires
seeing architecture in between its various
stages of becoming some-thing and no-thing.
thus, to literally `see' the destruction and
construction of the built environment, much
like the hermaphrodite, we can see the common,
public aesthetic which we inherited and from
whose language we build. these are the laws of
physics matched with lawless imagination.
to see a building being destroyed, to see a
construction sign, to see a stack of materials
in the process of demolition and construction,
is to see architecture as a de|con-struction.
the crane, the scaffolding, the tools, the
earth, rocks, metals, and concrete, most all
are relatively ancient events being ever
re-enacted in the processing of architecture.
the construction site, in its varying stages,
could be seen much the same 2000 years ago,
in these same designed assemblages.
aesthetic reflection and projection allow
the architectural object to be matched by
its empirical relation to material culture,
and its ancient precedent. the construction
sign, as symbolic warning of a zone of a
culture's de|con-struction, is a universal
visual language, transcending that of words.
a construction site on any continent can be
deciphered without spoken language. dirt is
dirt. cranes are cranes. architectural signs
are signs, not only as finished objects, but
also as never-finished objects, eternally in-
process, always falling apart, in need of
repair, or of dismantling.
the pragmatism of de|con-struction as everyday
theory is seen in workers whom strip buildings
of their valuable goods before they are to be
demolished. they salvage what is left and use
it to build something else. not as a pure
object or entity, but as a collection of
borrowed and re-structuralized fragments.
these carpenters and citizens call themselves
`deconstructionists'.
seeing the Venetian _primitive hut_ scaffolding
along with the _purgatory_ and _archetype_
events of Paris brings the local aesthetic
of construction and demolition into a new
and more universalized sense of a common
architectural language, and thus being.
while words continue to bore and drag on
without saying, relying upon a fuzzy logic
of finished surfaces and statements, it is
proposed that the unfinished image simplifies
and clarifies what words cannot. that there
is a universality, a shared public, it is
physical, it exists within a shared material
culture, technological, both new and ancient,
which is always in a state of de|con-structing
itself. in this state, before it is a finished
product, it is still possible to rearrange the
structure so as to support- not the individual
and privatized difference alone- but also the
civic commonality we share as human beings.
architecture is but one way of seeing it and
de|con-struction is but one way of saying it.
but there is something in their combination,
when the application of theoretical language
becomes a pragmatic common sense, immediately
available with those with eyes and minds looking
into the future while remembering the past.

Mark Tribe talks @ jihui
- - about Rhizome, about netart (past-current-future)
Presented by jihui (A Project of the NetArt Initiative)
Friday, Janunary 5, 2001 7 PM at
Parsons Center for New Design
55 West 13th Street, 9th Fl.
New York, NY 10011
live webcast at http://netart-init.org 7pm est.
Mark Tribe is an artist, entrepreneur, curator and arts administrator
whose interests lie at the
intersection of emerging technologies and contemporary art. In 1996, he
founded Rhizome.org,
a nonprofit organization focused on new media art. He then founded
StockObjects, a startup
company that sold animations and other “digital objects” online. Mark
speaks widely on new
media art and nonprofit management. Recent speaking engagements include
The Art Institute of
Chicago, Rhode Island School of Design and Razorfish Inc. He plays an
active role as an
advocate for net artists on grant panels and in the press. He also
serves on the advisory boards
of nonprofit arts organizations and new media companies. His most recent
artwork, a net art
project called StarryNight, is an interface for browsing Rhizome’s text
library that represents
each article as a star in a night sky. StarryNight can be found online
at
www.rhizome.org/starrynight. Prior to Rhizome.org and StockObjects, Mark
worked as an artist
in Berlin, and developed commercial web sites at Pixelpark GmbH, a
leading German new media
agency. He received a Masters of Fine Arts in Visual Art from the
University of California, San
Diego in 1994 and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990.
The NETART INITIATIVE <http://netart-init.org> is a loosely knit, open
source
based, hub styled, forum oriented, action enabled consortium, where
people meet,
virtually and bodily, to communicate, exchange, and discourse for
advancing the
understanding of a virtual art, a networked art and an art that will be
pervasive
and ubiquitous in the years to come.
jihui (the meeting point), a self-regulated digital salon, invites all
interested people to send ideas for discussion/performance/etc,
jihui is where your voice heard and your vision shared.
jihui is sponsored by Digital Design Department and Center for New
Design @ Parsons School of Design

Subject: net-art00 >>> RESULTS >>> 01
Thanks to all of you who visited http://www.net-art.org and took part
in 'net-art00' during 2000 ...
as a result of which we now have an interesting perspective on how you
all reacted and experienced the listed web specific art projects of
net-art00 at ...
http://www.net-art.org
even if these results don't match your own preferences we hope you enjoy
checking out how others reacted to the nominated projects.
Please note this year the voting record of top listed sites have been
carefully checked for any clusters of voting that would represent
attempt to manipulate general voting pattern. We are very happy to
announce that no anomalies were found.
One problem is that due to a late mailing that we did to previous
contributors and visitors, there were a lot of late nominations of sites
and obviously these sites did not get a chance to be visited and
therefore receive votes compared to earlier entries. As a result we
propose to enter the entries received after October 31st 2000 to
'net-art01' (see the results page for details).
We hope to launch 'net-art01' from the two week Barcelona street
festival, Festival Gracia, in August '01, with projected displays of
work from top practitioners and special web art creation projects with
local people in Gracia area. We feel this possible link with the
Festival Gracia tradition of democratic street level celebration of
culture and entertainment is excellent match for spirit we hope for at
net-art.org. Also the possibility exists that the creator(s) of the most
popular site of '01 will get to visit Barcelona for Festival Gracia the
following year.
For 'net-art01' we will thoroughly review format of our net-art 'arena',
for instance whether we can find another method to display sites than
inside of net-art frames? Whether those sites/projects nominated that
fail to get any appreciation over a given period should be moved to a
secondary list? Whether we can extend ability to add comments to site
listings to visitors? Whether we can improve timing of publicity and
mailings? Whether entry page to 'net-art01' must be simpler than
'net-art00'. Any comments or suggestions are very welcome.
ALL THE BEST
yours

Tu 9 januari: This little program written in C
Tu 16 januari: An introduction to Perl
Tu 23 januari: "..we cannot imagine someone needing more than 50 MHz."
Tu 30 januari: Why and how to make a website for you squat
Tu 9 januari: This little program written in C
The mother of all programming languages: C. Most modern program
languages
use C as the basis for their syntax. It's a very powerfull language,
in which small programs can be quite usefull. Some people refuse to use
anything else. Today on of them will tell you why.
Tu 16 januari: An introduction to Perl
Perl is a very powerfull scripting language, in which you can program
anything from a script to send mail from a website to a full sized
mailinglist manager. In this introduction, we'll show you some of the
benefits of Perl.
Tu 23 januari: "..we cannot imagine someone needing more than 50 MHz."
..in 1985 Amiga introduced what today is known as MultiMedia.It could
play
8-bit sounds in 4-channels,stereo and could display simultaniously 4096
colors on the screen,playing animations and running several processes in
the background at the same time,than introduced and today known as a
multitasking.In those days IBM platforms had green and black displays
and
could do *blip* from an internal speaker.Not to mention their bloated
and
nonefficiant OSes.Amiga was designed from the ground up as a perfect
blend
of hardware and software and is extremly memory efficiant.Intuitive and
fast GUI,audio and video capabilities quickly gained popularity in a
video
industry as well as in the home usage.It became best kept Holywood
secret
and a most popular gaming platform through late 80's and early
90's.Around
2.5 million Amigas were sold till 1994 when Commodore went
bankrupt,killing
a dream of many people - to build a better computer.
On 23. January we will demonstrate some of the capabilities of Amiga on
a
three different models: A500 from 1989 with 1 Mb memory running on a 7
MHz Motorola 68000,A1200 with 64 MB running on Motorola 68060 50 MHz and
A4000 with 120 Mb running on 68040, 25 MHz equipped with 24-bit graphic
card,TV card and audio card..a night of games,demos and some serious
programs..a night of having a great fun and rebooting from time to
time..;-)..join us.
Tu 30 januari: Why and how to make a website for you squat
When squatting a building, making a website about it might not be your
first
priority. But why not? Writing a letter to the neighbours is generally
considered a good thing. Why not make some publicity for yourself on the
net?
Workshop contents:
- Why make a website? Introduction, overview of existing websites,
history.
- Squat!net: a webserver for your homepage?
- A practical howto. Hands-on introduction on making a homepage.
