Subject: Re: <nettime> Censoring Porn: An Experiment in Waste
Several artists participating in the Experimenta Trash/Waste project have
been invited to participate in a collaborative web project being
coordinated via a mailing list.
Trash mailing list Archive
http://www.trash.toysatellite.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi
(Select "Messages by Date" for current list of postings)
I feel it prudent to discuss the issues raised by Ned Rossiter about
Katrien Jacobs's work and its treatment by Experimenta within a forum with
other participating artists.
If you wish to participate, and perhaps engage other artists involved in
this project, you may do so by emailing a blank message to:
trash-subscribe@lists.toysatellite.org
The collaborative web project is being coordinated via:
http://www.trash.toysatellite.org
The end result of this collaborative will be a hybrid interactive site
compiled, designed and produced by the artists at the Toy Satellite
Collective.

Is it A Play With a Website or a Website With A Play?
LOOK. IT HAS WINGS!
Writers, Programmers, Designers, Producers, Marketing Reps and fellow
Internet Enthusiasts, come join this innovative multileveled Theater &
Internet Web Site production. PAY-FREE, but we promise one hell of a
flight!
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
This is a very stylized media-minded technology suave satire about
advertising and marketing. (Think The Truman Show, Brazil, Hudsucker Proxy,
AdBusters Magazine) This production is a play with a web site. Or is it a
web site with a play?
PLAY'S PREMISE
A young woman is guided through her life by the suggestions of a handheld
"electronic friend" she receives as a college graduation gift. This "pal"
is motivated by profit margin and will use whatever methods necessary to
win her trust, control her buying habits and learn her insights, which will
ultimately be used to sell the very device to more unsuspecting consumers
with better effectiveness. Behind this manipulative personalized data
research tool is a powerful corporation. "Our aim is to make this device
appear so innocent and helpful that we can get 2 to 3 of them in every
home." And of course this business has a web site. That's where YOU come
in. . .
RECLAIM YOUR PASSION
Tired of designing and programming for corporate America? Sick of writing
the same old drab copy or selling some useless product? Maybe the dot.com
downsizing gave you a little extra time? Put your experience, creativity
and humor where it will be truly appreciated.
We will be developing, launching and promoting this satirical
marketing/advertising website as if it's the real thing. Come and join
like-minded hopeful cynics and help revolutionize the way theater is seen
and done in the technology age.
****If you are interested in any of the areas listed below in any way at
all, call or write now! ENTHUSIASM and INTEREST are the MOST VALUED
COMMODITIES.****
PRODUCER
Oversee the production of the Web Site and/or theater production. Organize
and keep the production on track and of course fun.
ART DIRECTOR
Responsible for helping design and develop the look and feel of the
company, both for stage and Internet. Logo, letterhead, mailers etc. Full
branding. (Somewhat stylized and over-the-top.)
COPY WRITERS
Help develop content and company voice. From the history of the company to
fictitious advertisements and press releases, there's plenty of room for
all sorts of marketing and advertising satire. Create and or produce your
own ads!
FLASH/WEB DESIGNER/ PROGRAMMER
Looking for passionate designer(s) who would like to create powerful
visuals that sell. You know how effective good design can be, let's use
those same techniques to mirror and examine the real world. If it works
for them, it can work for us.
SOUND DESIGNER/ENGINEER
Write and produce original music and pseudo radio advertisements for the
theater production and website. Work closely with web designer and
director.
MARKETING
Help push, promote and engineer marketing angles for the website and play.
From stickers to flyers, hats, banner ads, link trading etc., there's
plenty of room to get creative. The goal is to give "this corporation" a
name and get traffic to the site.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Contact press, both local and national, to gain attention for this
technology satire website and play. There is plenty of room to help create
a fun and/or serious angle for various newspapers, magazines and radio
shows. Let's make some noise!
MISC. INTERNET.
Use the Internet to locate already created fictitious/mock ads. From
radio voice-overs to well produced satire television commercials and print
ads., the goal is to collect as much quality content as possible and gain
an audience. (This will also give a backbone to the emerging play.)
MISC. THEATER
Any artists, musicians or interested parties from a theater background that
would like to contribute in some way are welcome. It will take a short
while until the stage production begins, but please don't hesitate to let
us know your interests and how you would like to contribute.
LAWYERS ADVICE
Because we will be toying with the lines of reality and fiction, it will be
neccessary at some point to keep some things legal. This is to both
protect our property and be "perceived" as a legitimate company by the
powers that be.
Great ideas can truly fly with the right team. With your help, let's see
how far it will take us…
Please feel free to send this information along to any or all people you
think would enjoy being a part of this endeavor. Thanks :)
Call or write NOW! Operators are standing by!

Subject: ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS --the website
De Verbeelding art landscape nature, Zeewolde, The Netherlands is pleased to
present:
http://www.artificialnaturalnetworks.nl
A website developed by 9nerds - showing the 11 artworks commissioned for
the ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS project- with;
* Mark Dion# (USA) * Krijn Giezen (NL) * Henrik Håkansson# (S) *
davidkremers# (USA) * Atelier van Lieshout (NL) * N55# (DK) * Tobias
Rehberger# (D) * Ulf Rollof# (S) * Roman Signer# (CH) * herman de vries#
(NL) * Annette Weisser & Ingo Vetter# (D) *
The website documents the development and history of all 11 works in 6
'moments' during the year 2001;
* the sketch proposal * the original situation * the realisation * the work
* the interaction * the final stage *
The ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS project can be visited on location in
Zeewolde The Netherlands until 12 november 2001.
The permanent artworks (marked above with #) are additions to the
collection of De Verbeelding, and can still be visited after this date.
- -----------------------------------------------------
De Verbeelding art landscape nature is an international centre for the arts
that enters into a relation with the landscape and/or nature. The combined
information centre and exhibition space is situated in Zeewolde, the
youngest village in the province of Flevoland and the Netherlands. De
Verbeelding is the starting point for a route of 7 km leading through
Zeewolde village centre, across the landscape park De Wetering, through the
woods and over the dike to the Randmeren (the lakes between the polders and
the former coast). This route leads walkers past works by artists of
international fame. De Verbeelding organizes a bi-annual event during which
works of visual art are temporarily or permanently added to this unique
collection. The collection gives an impression of the relationship between
art, landscape and nature as it has developed since 1970. The centre also
provides information about other large works of art in Flevoland.
The project ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS
The title KUNSTmatige NATUURLIJKE NETWERKEN/ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS is
a word play on the terminology used to define how computers work. The
technical term is 'artificial neural networks' and makes a connection
between the workings of the brain and those of computers. A similar link,
between nature and technology, is also established by the American writer
Kevin Kelly in his book Out of Control: nature as model for man-made
systems and machines. He says that artificial natural evolution helps us to
better understand organic evolution.
In five successive presentations in the pavilion the following artists have
given an impression of their work: herman de vries (NL) and Roman Signer
(CH), Krijn Giezen (NL) and Atelier van Lieshout (NL), Tobias Rehberger (D)
and Annette Weisser-Ingo Vetter (D), Henrik Håkansson (S), Mark Dion (USA)
and N55 (DK), Ulf Rollof (S) and davidkremers (VS). Various generations are
represented in the project.
The American art critic Willoughby Sharp and the French novelist Michel
Houellebecq have been chosen as the points of reference, or perhaps indeed
as the voices of conscience, for De Verbeelding's first series of projects
under the title ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS. 'Earth art calls for the
radical reorganization of our natural environment; it offers the
possibility of mitigating man's alienation from nature', wrote Sharp in
1969. But the high expectations of the Sixties generation, of social and
spiritual consciousness, have recently been completely undermined by Michel
Houellebecq, who writes, 'The revolution will not be spiritual but
genetic.' While Sharp at that time envisaged a double role for the artist -
as environmental manager, as urban planner, as architect, as civil
engineer, as cultural anthropologist - the network structure has grown
considerably during the last thirty years. The fields of knowledge that
artists are interested in have intensified to the extent that they no
longer take up an autonomous position. It is this idea in particular that
is expressed in De Verbeelding's first project.
Project proposals
All eleven invited artists have agreed to cooperate on realising a work for
the De Verbeelding route. They were amazed at the artificial natural
character of the village of Zeewolde and the largest continuous deciduous
forest in Northwestern Europe in the polder, were surprised to see
underground creeks and the archaeological discoveries of shipwrecks at the
bottom of what used to be the Zuiderzee, were concerned about the rising
sea level and drop in land level, asked the Stadsbosbeheer forester
questions about all the different types of trees and the animals that come
and go. Their proposals are stimulating and challenging, interesting and
appealing to the imagination. But they also turned out to be so complex
that the planned opening to accompany the realisation of the projects in
May has had to be postponed until September.
This postponement has given De Verbeelding the opportunity to present
itself as a communication centre. The artists' proposals are being
presented in a special exhibition designed by Miriam Windhausen
(Amersfoort) in the pavilion from 26 May till 12 November 2001. The
ARTificial NATURAL NETWORKS project is becoming so much more an interactive
process for artists, organisers, government bodies and the public. It is a
process that is concerned with plans, designs and realisation, with
security and safety as regards permits for the various works of art, with
land and property rights in connection with the siting, but above all with
art, landscape and nature.
Realisation
The process of realisation already began in January when david kremers
connected his website with the Biodebat (www.biodebat.nl), a discussion on
Internet about xenotransplantation aimed at secondary schools. In the
summer, starting around the middle of June, Annette Weisser and Ingo Vetter
maked a start on their 'ambient music' project for the village square in
Zeewolde, which is part of their Controlled Atmosphere series of works. The
construction of the works of art began over the course of the summer. Some
of them will only reach maturity later, like the roses around herman de
vries's sanctuarium, as well as the plants inside it, the trees and plants
in Mark Dion's folly, the mosses, fungi and other plants in The Remembered
Self and The Forgotten Self by Ulf Rollof or davidkremers' fish genetically
manipulated by means of bio-technology. Not only art, the landscape and
nature, but also De Verbeelding will thus become 'out of control', with
maximum chances for an artificial natural evolution.

Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Maracatu_Le=E3o_Coroado_-_From_?= Recife_PE_BR
Good people from Nettime!
We are proud to announce the launching of the Maracatu Leão Coroado’s
Project! Please read the release below. For further information, don’t
hesitate in contacting us.
- ---
Maracatu Leão Coroado
leaocoroado@ig.com.br
h.d. mabuse (mabuse@manguebit.org.br )
Sérgio Angelim (saos@cesar.org.br)
Recife. Estuary city, built over land reclaimed from the sea, originally
mangrove swamps. Since the last decade, some of the richer aesthetic,
cultural, and technological experiences in Brazil have been sprouting from
this fertile soil.
November 7th, 2001 marked the start of an experience without precedents in
the country, involving technology, culture and history.
The agent of this experience is the Maracatu Leão Coroado. Founded in 1863,
it is one of the oldest maracatu nations in Brazil, being nowadays the most
traditional in Pernambuco. The stage is Águas Compridas, a poor community
in Olinda another main city in Recife’s metropolitan region.
The project, which combines tradition with new communication technologies,
took off on November 7th, when Maracatu Leão Coroado unveiled its official
website (www.leaocoroado.org.br). The site’s main goals are acting as a
communication link between Águas Compridas and the world; being a reference
for maracatu studies on the internet, having the most complete and accurate
content on the topic on the web today; being an open space not only for
other maracatus but also for any other cultural entity in the region.
The experience is an initiative of Maracatu Leão Coroado and friends, and
is supported by strategic technological organizations in Recife: NEWStorm,
which developed Notitia, a web publishing tool that allows users without
technical knowledge to produce and maintain content on the internet;
C.E.S.A.R the Recife Center for Advanced Studies and Systems which, since
its foundation, in 1996, has been a technological partner in many social
and cultural projects in Pernambuco; CDI the Committee for Informatics
Democratization which is helping the community create an EIC (Escola de
Informática e Cidadania Informatics and Citizenship School) in Águas
Compridas.
In a second moment, foreseen for the end of December, there will be the
inauguration of the EIC, which will give the tools for the community to
maintain and evolve the website by themselves, and the launching of Águas
Compridas’ online periodical. Another milestone in this phase will be the
start of the construction of Maracatu Leão Coroado’s headquarters (Casa
Luís de França).
In a third moment, expected for the second semester of 2002, Leão Coroado’s
headquarters will be inaugurated and the process of creating new cultural
and technological multipliers and leaders within Águas Compridas and
surroundings will be in full speed.
Thinking globally and acting locally, Maracatu Leão Coroado intends to
create an environment where most of the community needs are taken care of
by themselves. This will be achieved through the social organization, based
on its headquarters in Águas Compridas, and with the technological tools at
hand. Within this scenario there are countless possibilities:
professionalizing courses; communitarian radios; workshops on art, music,
and science; electronic art, digital recording studios. For the community,
the website is just the beginning.

discourse. The Department of Art and Technology promotes media art,
cultural growth, and improved aesthetic standards for all Americans
by working in partnership with business, universities, communities
and art schools. The Department shall perform the functions necessary
to carry out this mission, including the functions specified in
section 3 of this order.
Sec. 3. Functions. The functions of the Department shall be to
coordinate the executive branch's efforts to detect, prepare for,

to, and recovering from the threat of cultural deprivation as well as
media bias propagated by United States corporate interests and shall
periodically review and coordinate revisions to that strategy as
necessary. The Department advances U.S. objectives and interests in
shaping a freer, more visionary, and more utopian world through its
primary role in developing and implementing the President's policy on
art and technology.
(b) Detection. The Department shall identify priorities and

Subject: Italian SCP
Just received this message, which says in part that the Bologna (Italy) SCP
have moved their website to this address http://www.wastex.it/bitsurs/scp
which is not yet completed.
Buongiorno.
Il sito (novo) degli scp è pronto (quasi).
La maggirparte dei link non sono attivi, le funzionalità che promette sono
ancora da sviluppare e dulcis in fundo, mancano i contenuti.
Vabbè ma allora che ho fatto?
Lo ammetto mi sono lasciato andare: di solito faccio del rigido html (stile
sito scp newyorkese); questa volta ho voluto sperimentare un po' coi "css".
L'intenzione è quella di avere un sito "family friendly", per la famiglia
insomma, ma non troppo media.
Ci sono 4 possibili navigazioni: istituzionale (contatti, chi siamo ecc.);
interno-operativo, pubblico-documentario e informativo-tecnico.
E necessario un periodo di test e qualche ora di codice per arrivare alla
sua prima release pubblica.
Prego tutti di collaborare segnalandomi:
1. se ci sono errori di visualizzazione con computer diverso dal mio;
2. difetti di content managment (oooooooh!);
- -> se il violetto vi fa cagare mi dispiace, a me piace moltissimo (nero era
davvero cupo).
Non è un sito "finezza", ma ci sto lavorando sodo quindi apprezzo ogni
considerazione.
Dimenticavo l'url: www.wastex.it/bitsurs/scp
A prex
bitsurs
Naturalmente mi aspetto 3 cose:
che lo proviate

Subject: at Deitch?
I'm not an avid list poster, but I need to draw people's attention to
something which I came across this weekend.
http://www.muserna.org, has been obviously plagiarized by a John White C, a
digital artist, who has already shown Muserna's work in LA and Chicago, and
is now showing it in SOHO at the Deitch, as a commissioned work of the
Tirana Biennele, with Miltos Manetas, this week.
John White C has entitled the piece "STEG," short for stegosaurus I assume,
although in fact the image is of a tricerotops.
Here is John White C's version, its on the cover of this site. It is also
under "Electronic Projects:"
http://www.electronicorphanage.com
It's also at Tirina Biennele Electronic Orphanage site:
http://www.biennale.net
Its also here with this gallery:
http://www.moniquemeloche.com/artists.html
Pic and link to his rip in John White C. artist area.
And its on John White's portfolio site, listed under "Projects":
www.johnwhitec.com
Here is Muserna's work, it is Big Monster # 5, created in 1999
http://www.muserna.org/bigmonsters/big5.htm
Here are all of the Big Monsters:
http://www.muserna.org/bigmonsters
There's the proof. Muserna also has real world prints of these pieces as
well, and has exhibited them before, in 1999.
This is not an example of reappropriation, no major changes to the image
were made. Here is an example of total copyright infringement, Muserna was
never contacted about this, and he is not even given any kind of credit.
So what kind of *artistic* motivations led JOHN WHITE C to right click that
image and choose save as "STEG"?

Subject: performance against face recognition software
In answer to the call recently issued by FANCLUB in Manchester, England
(see below), the New York SCP will be cutting into the sight lines of a
public web
camera -- an Internet surveillance device -- operated by a
privacy-insensitive company on Saturday 17 November 2001 to protest against
face recognition software.
Used to match freshly captured images of people's faces against databases,
face recognition software is now being introduced at airports all over the
United States (Oakland, Boston, Providence, Denver) to combat so-called
terrorism.
The NY SP's performance will start at exactly 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time
(1:30 pm in California, 9:30 pm in London and 10:30 pm in Berlin), will
last about 10 minutes, and will be repeated twice if possible.

FANCLUB offers a ---
PROPOSED MANCHESTER ACTION 17 November 2001
In response to the developments in face recognition software FANCLUB are
making a performance gesture for Futuresonic. Using Futuresonic's map of
surveillance cameras in Manchester, a team of performers will walk through
Manchester city performing for the cameras with big crosses shaved on their
heads.
This is an idiot-proof and cheap alternative to face recognition software,
it will assist the surveillance workers to spot the trouble-makers, thus
saving much needed capital.
We are performing in an arts festival here in Nottingham. The production
manager Kamal is directing a sonic festival, with an
art/activist/surveillance theme in Manchester 13-18 November. They've
produced a map of all the surveillance cameras in the city centre.
<www.futuresonic.com>
They have commisioned uk artists to make work from SC footage recovered
through the data protection act. This is a collaboration with the
comedian/activist Mark Thomas from Channel 4 fame. All very interesting!
