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.

Check them out! http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/ =============================================================== (1) Tokyo Editors' Diary =============================================================== 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.

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! - --Murata Yuko http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/event_cgi/ev_viewE.cgi?6,259 =============================================================== (3) Presents =============================================================== Tower Records' free paper "Musee" gives away "Intoxicate" 2003 calendars for 10, and a T-shirt for one lucky person.

At least that's according to Robert May of Purdue University. He's trying to revive a forgotten component of American history, a time before the Civil War, when certain adventurers in the country were invading other countries without government support. These men were greatly feared, much like contemporary terrorists are today feared by Americans. Robert May is author of the book Manifest Destiny's Underworld: Filibustering In Antebellum America, which discusses this raw spot in US history.

On my schedule for the night are the 100m tracks of the National Stadium, where a fashion show by 20471120 closes this season's Tokyo Collection. These are exciting days, and to soothe the neurotic mood that starts creeping up I'm taking a dose of the just released deluxe edition of John Coltrane's "Love Supreme," an album I've been in love with since I was a kid. I feel better after hearing the track where Coltrane is joined by Archie Shepp. Read more at: http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/en/diary/0021-henshucho.htm =============================================================== (2) Out of Tokyo =============================================================== Vol. 52: Barrier-Free Theatre by Ozaki Tetsuya I wonder if people think I'm crazy when I ask whether blind people can watch movies. Well, the answer is, of course they can. Movie theatre visitors can listen to an extra sound channel with situation descriptions and stage directions that is transmitted to headphones, using infrared rays or FM transmitters. The explanations are synchronized with the visuals, but since they are placed in intervals of the regular soundtrack, they don't interfere with the dialogues.

At a time where the globalisation problem is put in a new light since 9.11, this event is designed as an opportunity for a new discussion of the identity of 'Asia.' Participating panelists include Sakai Naoki, Yoshimi Shunya, and Mori Art Museum director David Elliott. Together with the "Under Construction" exhibition that is now being shown at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, this event is recommended not only to people who are related to art in one way or another, but to everyone who is concerned about the various problems Asian countries are facing. - --Uekawa Yu http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/event_cgi/ev_viewE.cgi?4,1240 =============================================================== (4) Presents =============================================================== We still accept applications for the beautifully designed "Intoxicate" calendars/T-shirt, given to a total of 11 REALTOKYO readers by Tower Records' free magazine "Musee."

Uncanny Networks: Dialogues with the Virtual Intelligentsia by Geert Lovink For Geert Lovink, interviews are imaginative texts that can help to create global, networked discourses not only among different professions but also among different cultures and social groups. Conducting interviews online, over a period of weeks or months, allows the participants to compose documents of depth and breadth, rather than simply snapshots of timely references. The interviews collected in this book are with artists, critics, and theorists who are intimately involved in building the content, interfaces, and architectures of new media. The topics discussed include digital aesthetics, sound art, navigating deep audio space, European media philosophy, the Internet in Eastern Europe, the mixing of old and new in India, critical media studies in the Asia-Pacific region, Japanese techno tribes, hybrid identities, the storage of social movements, theory of the virtual class, virtual and urban spaces, corporate takeover of the Internet, and the role of cyberspace in the rise of nongovernmental organizations. Interviewees included Norbert Bolz, Paulina Borsook, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Kuan-Hsing Chen, C=E3lin Dan, Mike Davis, Mark Dery, Kodwo Eshun, Susan George, Boris Groys, Frank Hartmann, Michael Heim, Dietmar Kamper, Zina Kaye, Tom Keenan, Arthur Kroker, Bruno Latour, Marita Liulia, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Peter Lunenfeld, Lev Manovich, Mongrel, Edi Muka, Jonathan Peizer, Saskia Sassen, Herbert Schiller, Gayatri Spivak, J=E1nos Sug=E1r, Ravi Sundaram, Toshiya Ueno, Tjebbe van Tijen, McKenzie Wark, Hartmut Winkler, and Slavoj Zizek. To order: Virtual Art: From Illusion to Immersion by Oliver Grau Although many people view virtual reality as a totally new phenomenon, it has its foundations in an unrecognized history of immersive images. Indeed, the search for illusionary visual space can be traced back to antiquity. In this book Oliver Grau shows how virtual art fits into the art history of illusion and immersion. He describes the metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image and relates those concepts to interactive art, interface design, agents, telepresence, and image evolution. Grau retells art history as media history, helping us to understand the phenomenon of virtual reality beyond the hype. Grau shows how each epoch used the technical means available to produce maximum illusion. He discusses frescoes such as those in the Villa dei Misteri in Pompeii and the gardens of the Villa Livia near Primaporta, Renaissance and Baroque illusion spaces, and panoramas, which were the most developed form of illusion achieved through traditional methods of painting and the mass image medium before film. Through a detailed analysis of perhaps the most important German panorama, Anton von Werner's 1883 "The Battle of Sedan," Grau shows how immersion produced emotional responses. He traces immersive cinema through Cinerama, Sensorama, Expanded Cinema, 3-D, Omnimax and IMAX, and the Head Mounted Display with its military origins. He also examines those characteristics of virtual reality that distinguish it from earlier forms of illusionary art. His analysis draws on the work of contemporary artists and groups ART+COM, Maurice Benayoun, Charlotte Davies, Monika Fleischmann, Ken Goldberg, Agnes Hegedues, Eduardo Kac, Knowbotic Research, Laurent Mignonneau, Michael Naimark, Simon Penny, Daniela Plewe, Paul Sermon, Jeffrey Shaw, Karl Sims, Christa Sommerer, and Wolfgang Strauss. Grau offers not just a history of illusionary space but also a theoretical framework for analyzing its phenomenologies, functions, and strategies throughout history and into the future. To order: The mission of the Leonardo Book Series, published by the MIT Press, is to publish texts by artists, scientists, researchers and scholars that present innovative discourse on the convergence of art, science and technology. Envisioned as a catalyst for enterprise, research and creative and scholarly experimentation, the book series enables diverse intellectual communities to explore common grounds of expertise. The Leonardo Book Series provides for the contextualization of contemporary practice, ideas and frameworks represented by those working at the intersection of art and science.

When art is defined as world art, as a form of intercultural communication without national boarders, when art uses the World Wide Web as a medium and environment in a global context, is it allowed then to connect art or this exhibition, in particular, to the aspect of nationality? Netart coming from France is widely unknown, yet. This has different reasons. Like in some other countries, this new form of contemporary art seems also in this country not well accepted yet, which is also underlined by the fact that only a few institutions of art and higher education exist mainly focussed on art and New Media, but most relevant seems to be that different from other forms of contemporary art, language and its various forms plays an essential role in Netart. The most accepted and dominating language for global communication, the New Media and the Internet, represents, however, English. In this global context, language changed its meaning, its function goes far beyond of expressing merely national identity, even if is it did not loose this aspect on a local level. Under these conditions one might ask: can Netart using language as a tool for expressing national identity be defined as art or Netart, at all, or does probably even this use enable new forms of expressing which can be understood on a non-verbal level also by people who do not speak the respective national language? The show "Actual Positions of French Netart" makes it evident, there are a lot of talented artists who take the challenges and chances the Internet offers by creating art works which include strong conceptual components manifested in most individual ways. Some of them use exclusively their native language, others try a bi-lingual way, and a third group takes the global aspect of the Internet and expresses itself in English. Even if not all works can be understood by a non-francophone, the original and individual multimedia approach will impress by offering new aspects and perspectives. As an ongoing project, the show is based on an open call in Internet. It will accept also in future at any time submissions of new artists which are not yet presented in the exhibition, in order to stay most actual and updated. Following 25 artists are participating currently: Gregory Chatonsky, Cendres Lavy, Christophe Bruno, PATRICK-HENRI BURGAUD, Tamara Lai, Erational, Antoine Schmitt Xavier Malbreil, Thierry Vendé, jimpunk, Xavier Cahen, Pacale Gustin Emilie Pitoiset, Fred Fenollabbate, Cecile Babiole Xavier Leton, Christoph Bruno/Jimpunk, Isabel Saij, Ulrich Mathon, Hughes Rochette Michael Sellam, Pascal Bruandet, Blue Screen, Pauline Desormière, Nicolas Clauss "Actual Positions of French Netart" www.javamuseum.org or www.javamuseum.org/2002/2nd/frenchfeature realized and curated by Agricola de Cologne.

Le Netart français est encore largement inconnu en dehors de ses frontières, et ceci pour différentes raisons: Tout d'abord le Netart n'est peut-être pas encore bien reçu, ici comme ailleurs. Il n'y a de surcroit que peu d'écoles ou d'établissements traitant de l«art et des nouveaux médias. Par ailleurs, et à la différence d'autres formes d'art contemporain, l'utilisation de la langue et de ses subtilités joue un rôle essentiel pour le Netart. Dans cette communication globale, la seule langue admise pour les nouveaux médias et Internet demeure l'anglais. Dans ce contexte international, la langue en tant que telle n'a plus la même portée. elle n'est plus simplement expression d'une identité nationale, même si cet aspect ne perd bien sûr complètement sa pertinence. Le Netart, en utilisant la langue comme repère d'une identité nationale, correspond-il d'une manière ou d'une autre à a définition de ce que peut être l'art/le Netart, ou bien cette utilisation spécifique permet-elle des formes d'expressions pouvant être comprises par d'autres, par ceux qui ne parlent pas ou ne comprennent pas la langue utilisée? Il devient évident que les artistes de talent sont nombreux. Le Netart français prend des accents fortement conceptuels et chaque artiste se distingue en tant qu'individualité. Certains d'entre eux travaillent uniquement en français, d'autres de manière bilingue, et d'autres encore utilisent exclusivement l'anglais. Même si tous les travaux ne peuvent être compris par un non francophone, l'approche originale et individuelle peut attirer l'attention, intéresser, offrir de nouveaux aspects et ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives. L'exposition est un projet continu basé sur un appel ouvert sur Internet. Les inscriptions sont possibles à tout moment, pour de nouveaux artistes désirant se joindre à ce projet .
