Hello everyone
The Banner Art Collective announces winner of Buy Nothing Day contest.
The Banner Art Collective's Buy Nothing Day contest received 15
banners from artists in France, the UK, and the US. Thanks to all
artists for a great and varied group of entries.
Many entries were strong, so contest officials almost decided to
split the grand prize of $0 (USD) between several entries.
Ultimately, though, the grand prize was awarded to Zebra3's
"buy-sell(f) nothing," a banner which subverts the textuality of
corporate logos to good effect. Zebra3's banner will be featured on
the Banner Art Collective's front page (http://www.bannerart.org/)
through the holiday buying season.
Buy Nothing Day (November 29th in the US and Canada, November 30th in
Europe and elsewhere) is an annual international event held to
protest the unoffical opening day of holiday shopping. It is
organized by the Adbusters Media Foundation
(http://www.adbusters.com/). Now in its eleventh year, Buy Nothing
Day is a 24-hour consumer fast and celebration of sustainable living.
Over one million people around the world are expected to participate.
As always, the Banner Art Collective (http://www.bannerart.org/)
continues to collect new entries for its ongoing banner art
collection. From November 29 through February 4, the site will be
included in the Edith-Russ Site for Media Art exhibition "Total
Überzogen" (http://www.oldenburg.de/edith-russ-haus/) in Oldenburg,
Germany. The group plans to stage several banner art "happenings"
within commercial advertising space in early 2003.

Subject: body shaped interface
[The OpenDoorsDesign Grand Prix 2002 at Doors 7 was awarded to Jussi
Angesleva (Media Lab Europe) and the project "Body Mnemonics" that
transforms the body into an interface to communicate with portable devices.
It is an interesting project that in a sense makes visible the process of
reconceptualizing the body as a 'digitable' entity. Best. ana]
Doors 7: Body-Shaped Interface wins Grand Prix
The OpenDoorsDesign Grand Prix 2002 at Doors 7 was won by Jussi Angesleva
of Media Lab Europe with "Body Mnemonics", described as a meta-tool for
portable devices.
Angesleva's innovation is to give devices such as PDAs and communicators a
mechanism for detecting their orientation with respect to their owner's
body, so that by tapping a shoulder, say, or a pocket, different functions
can be accessed. The examples given included touching the gadget to a back
pocket for a wallet function, or holding it to one's breast to retrieve the
number of a loved one. Angesleva said that he had conducted research into
what associations parts of the body had for different people and concluded
that while associations were individual, they were strongly held, making
this a good basis for an interface.
His idea sparked considerable discussion amongst attendees, many concerned
by implementation issues. While it would be easy to remember one set of
controls spaced round the body, Angesleva had also presented sub-menus,
such as phone numbers and pieces of music. How would the different menus
relate? And how would someone else use a device customised for a particular
individual co-ordinates for functions might relate to striking a shoulder
on one person, but require perching directly under a collarbone for someone
taller.
There was also a recognition that the mechanism could function in a sphere
around a person, determined by each individual's reach, with functions on
the periphery, which could ultimately impact on the shape of people's
personal space and could lead to the locations for functions being based
on positions on another's body towards whom the individual had a regular
physical orientation.
The judging of the Grand Prix took place at the Doors 7 conference "Flow:
the design challenge of pervasive computing" (see UN story: Pervasive
Computing gets Perceptive Treatment) where 22 finalists presented their
ideas for the future use of digital ubiquity. Both audience and jury voted
on the 5 minute presentations to conclude unanimously that Angesleva's
project should win. The prize is a free trip to India to present at the
Doors East conference.
Other stimulating ideas presented as part of the Grand Prix competition
included a way of making orientation in underground car parks more closely
related to the outside world, a project for homes over motorways creating
an Edgetown, and a personal information broker, allowing individuals to
sell their collated financial information to the highest bidder through the
Web: Loome.

As soon as you ask anyone where they were born, where their parents were born,
where their sister lives, where their partner is from (...) you will hear
people’s history of migration and movement. Our own lives, our own histories
are the histories of movement, globalisation and new beginnings, departures and
arrivals. We wanted to draw the threads together to create a document which
took us from this beginning, this ability to identify with movement, to
question why, how and who’s movement is being controlled.
This edition of Green Pepper features discussion from a range of perspectives;
examining the ways in which anti-trafficking legislation is used to control
migration of women, a different view on bordercamps, globalisation,
environment and migration, identity and borders. People from around the world
have contributed analysis and reports to create a broad and engaging edition!

Subject: Announcing issue 5.6 of M/C Journal: 'love'
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 6 December 2002
M/C - Media and Culture
is proud to present issue six in volume five of the award-winning
M/C Journal
http://www.media-culture.org.au/
'love' - Edited by Donna Lee Brien & Helen Yeates
"What's Love Got To Do With It?":
International perspectives on the cultural construction of love
"Smack habit, love habit - what's the difference? They both can kill
you." (Helen Garner, Monkey Grip, 1976)
>From tennis scores to computer viruses, love is all around us, but do we
live in an age where "Love is all you need"? In the post-AIDS, post-
September 11 globalised multimedia present, is love an outmoded concept or
more important than ever before? Love imbues media culture. While Lola
runs for love, others die for love, with Moulin Rouge popularising once
again the evergreen "doomed love" syndrome. Love songs dominate the
airwaves, sales of romance novels are booming, and every evening
television presents contemporary negotiations of love, sex and friendship
in fictional forms while Springer and reality TV bring particular versions
of real-life love and desire into everyone's lounge room. Internet dating
is a worldwide phenomenon and online chat rooms are filled with punters
looking for their perfect match.
But despite this intense engagement, the questions "What is love?" and
"What does it mean?" still seem to obsess the cultural production of
contemporary creative artists as well as cultural critics. A selection of
intriguing, compelling, revealing and sometimes controversial critical and
creative works in this issue of M/C Journal explore the spectrum of what we
understand as love and, of course, sex - the act of love.
Whether you take on love as commodity or emotion, as feeling or
sensation, as intellectual or visceral pursuit, please note that there are
warnings on this Love Issue label. CAUTION: This issue will stimulate your
mind as much as arouse your fantasies.

Kato Haruyuki ("Studio Voice") vol. 004
Paul SmithI'm attending the opening party of the Paul Smith
ladies' fashion shop on Kotto-Dori, where I meet Paul in his
usual, friendly mood. For our magazine Paul Smith has a particular
meaning, since his company has always been supporting us, on the
editorial side as well as through advertisements. As a fashion
brand they're probably in a previously unexperienced, difficult
situation at the moment. With giant conglomerates buying out small
brands, especially on the business side it's extremely difficult
nowadays to maintain a certain independent spirit. There are in
fact a lot of talented fashion people coming out of England, but
how many of them have managed to set up their own 'maison' and be
successful with their brands? Not only is Paul Smith a brilliant
creator, but he has in fact managed to establish a business that
continues to be independent. If you ask me to name designers of
this rank, there's only one I can think of.

H20 "Remix" Exhibition
H20 is an up-and-coming design is mainly active in the San
Francisco area, where they are creating dresses, installations,
and working as art directors for magazines etc. This exhibition
focuses on H20's large-sized graphical posters as part of their
latest visual interpretation project "Remix." Besides this there
are printed T-shirts for sale. This event is, by the way, a
traveling exhibition that is produced by the "Shift" online
magazine, and that kicked off in Shift's own "Soso Cafe." Such a
stylish combination of rich web contents, cafe operation and event
production is a thing we at RT should really be working on!
