Subject: The Plagiarist Codex
The Plagiarist Codex:
an old Maya information
hieroglyph
We have discovered from the barren
wastelands of Central America an
essential document in the early
history of copyist strategies. Thought
to have been created toward the end
of the classical period of Mayan
civilization, 998 A.D., the codex has
been translated by a brilliant group
of London plagiarists & the esteemed
Amendant Hardiker from Wisconsin.
Originally published by PLAGERIZEDÆ
(SIC) BOOKS in 1988 on the occasion of
the Festival of Plagiarism held in London,
San Francisco & Madison, WI. It is now
distributed by Xexoxial Endarchy.

Cyber.Salon 3:
Possibilities and Pitfals of Sponsorship in New Media
In November 1997 the ICA in London launched the New Media Centre, a
major collaboration with Sun Microsystems.
As a partnership between a publically-funded cultural institution
with a remit to explore the innovative, the contraversial and the
cutting edge, and a single multinational technology corporation,
the deal breaks new ground and perhaps points to new trends.
While the collaboration provides potentially great opportunities
for artists, questions also surface regarding the effects -
in supporting artists' practice and in critical discussion -
arising from different aims and objectives of the two organisations.
With the aim of exploring the whole spectrum of possibilities to
pitfalls inherent in this alliance, Sholto Ramsay, ICA Director
of New Media and Peter Gomes, outgoing ICA New Technology Researcher
will be interviewed by Lisa Haskel, Visual Arts Officer at the Arts
Council of England and freelance events organiser.
Participation from all-comers will be welcomed and indeed expected.
Arrive armed with questions and suggestions.
Early arrival recommended to reserve a seat.

_______________________________________________________________________
Horst Kiechle is a computer artist whose '...deranged web diagrams...can,
despite appearances, be built.'
- Architecture Australia March/April 1997
The spatial transformations of his most recent work, Amorphous
Construction, can be experienced from 27 January to 21 February at Darren
Knight Gallery, 840 Elizabeth St Waterloo, Sydney (tel 02 9699 5353). The
installation is one result of research currently undertaken by Kiechle as
part of an Art and Industry Placement at the CSIRO (Division of
Mathematical and Information Sciences), awarded to him by the Australia
Council's New Media Arts Fund.
Coinciding with this exhibition, SIN and Powerhouse Museum are pleased to
present this opportunity to further explore Kiechle's remarkable virtual
and actual environmental geometries.
Based on projects realised during the past three years, the artist will
present an overview of what is possible in the area of CAD (Computer Aided
Design), computer animation, Virtual Reality display options, and Automated
Manufacturing. The main focus, however, will be on VRML, the 3D equivalent
to text and image browsing through the World Wide Web.
Kiechle states: 'VRML has become an important tool for me to plan the
assembly of my complex installations. It is already possible to use it to
display choreographed events where the participant can move through the set
and constantly change viewpoints. All of these new creative possibilities
with the relatively low cost and potentially large audience of the World
Wide Web...'
He continues: 'Having witnessed the profound impact of 2D computer
applications on print media, digital imaging and film, Constructing the
Amorphous was conceived as a framework for investigating the impact of 3D
computer technology in arts-related areas. Whilst utilising some of the
latest high-end technologies it is interesting to consider how these
technologies might affect society, and how a sculptural or architectural
language can be derived from them. Concepts such as Intuitive Irregularity,
Natural Imperfection and Marginalised Geometries have become important to
me. I think that they have the potential to counterbalance Rectilinearity,
Square-Mindedness and Reductivist Normalisation Processes.'

DFM radio-television International NewsLetter #003 - Feb 98
==============================================================
DFM rtv Int. is a free, experimental, anti-commercial station
delivering soundscapes, weird programs, intens music, techart,
live sessions and more. It is run by some unknown artist who
pay everything out of their own pocket because who sponsors
unknown artists?! No blabla, no nonsense & straight forward is
our attitude, hope you're with us, please inform your friends.

--------------------------------------------------------------
L.S.
- 24 HOURS A DAY
Although untill now we are only live in the weekends from
22:00 to 03:00 hours (CET) we are delivering 24 hours a day
signal on The Webcast Page. We now have a kind of jukebox
playing exerpts of previous webcasts, material which has been
send to us and specially created pieces. Untill now it plays
at random but it will become interactive over time.
- WEDNESDAY OFF
And yes.. the Wednesday is off. Our poor operator couldn't
handle it. The webcast would force him into an impossible
lifestyle. Sorry to all enthousiasts.. later. We desperately
need a leased line for a 24 hours a day connect to a
reasonable price, it will save lots of time/money/stress.
- YOUR MATERIAL
You can deliver material to be played in the non-programmed
area, pieces can be 15 or 30 minutes in length. There's also
the possiblity to (regularly) deliver complete programs
(even live). Read more about it on the Info & News Page.
- FIRST REACTIONS
There have been a few reactions so far (thanx!) and they all
were very positive, it is great to hear from people out there
appreciating our effords. We had visitors from The States,
Mexico, Canada, Denmark, England, Belgium, Germany, Hungary,
Switserland, Australia (is that you Felipe?:) and more..
- IRC
Because of the small crew our operators/programmakers can only
hang out at IRC saturdays from 22:00 to 03:00 CET. If you want
to talk to us be there, the actual #channel name you will find
on the Webcast Page.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Nine ISEA98 Symposium Panels curated and convened by Liverpool Art School:
Deadline for receipt of full proposal 15th March 1998.
TITLE: EVOLUTION 2.0
Colin Fallows (Reader in Audio and Visual Arts at Liverpool John Moores
University); Pete Fulwell (Managing Director Merseyside Online Ltd.) and
Michelle Wardle (Programme Leader Multi-media Design and Production at
Liverpool
John Moores University) are developing a conference panel that seeks to examine
and contextualize work with generative systems.
A Liverpool Art School research award has enabled the development and projected
publication of the CD ROM entitled EVOLUTION 2.0, an audio-visual anthology
including history, current practice and debate concerning Generative Arts.
Papers, presentations and demonstrations are invited from artists, programme
creators, academics and broadcasters concerned with generative systems.
Contact: Colin Fallows, providing a summary of your proposal and where
appropriate audio/visual examples, at: c.fallows@livjm.ac.uk or c/o Liverpool
Art School (address as above). Please quote Panel title.
TITLE: ST. PETERSBURG 3.0
Colin Fallows (Reader in Audio and Visual Arts at Liverpool John Moores
University) and Alexander Kahn (St. Petersburg writer, broadcaster and Producer
of the Russian Service, BBC World Service) are curating a symposium Panel that
seeks to examine and contextualize the work of a group of radical St.
Petersburg
based artists, musicians and writers currently working with electronic media.
Papers, presentations, declamations, ideas and critical responses are being
invited from the St. Petersburg based artists, musicians and writers described
as "... the first manifestation out of the New Russia that actually
impresses me
... so weird looking, and it arises from such unique cultural and economic
circumstances ... This might become the first digital art movement that really
matters." (Sterling, Bruce (1998) 'Art and Corruption', WIRED 6.01, January).
This programme builds on links with St. Petersburg's artistic cutting edge
established more than a decade ago when Liverpool based ARK published the LP
Insect Culture by Popular Mechanics (ARK Records, 1987) the large scale
multi-media event Perestroika in the Avant Garde (involving Pop Mekhanika and
the New Artists, Liverpool, 1989) and the first Russian techno 12 inch Sputnik
of Life by the New Composers (ARK Records, 1990). Contact: Colin Fallows,at:
c.fallows@livjm.ac.uk or c/o Liverpool Art School (address as above). Please
quote Panel title.
TITLE: SONIC BOOM
Colin Fallows (Reader in Audio and Visual Arts at Liverpool John Moores
University) is compiling a programme of presentations and demonstrations that
investigates and celebrates the work of artists and inventors from across the
twentieth century who have created, recorded and performed with electronic
musical instruments - from the revolutionary to the eccentric.
A Liverpool Art School research award has enabled the appointment of a Visiting
Fellow in Sound, the UK based sound artist Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner) who will
make a presentation in Liverpool during ISEA98.
Papers, presentations and demonstrations are invited from artists, inventors,
academics and broadcasters concerned with experimental electronic musical
instruments - design, manufacture and performance.
Contact: Colin Fallows, providing a summary of your proposal and where
appropriate audio and/or visual examples, at: c.fallows@livjm.ac.uk or c/o
Liverpool Art School (address as above). Please quote Panel title.
TITLE: VISUAL LANGUAGES
David Crow (Head of Graphic Arts at Liverpool John Moores University) is
currently involved in research projects based around the exploration of visual
language in a typographic framework. His research partner is Yaki Molcho
(C0-Director, Tel Aviv Centre for Design Studies). Earlier this year, a
Liverpool Art School research award enabled David to initiate a programme of
work on a dual alphabet font which will be realised through a publication
entitled 'Dialogue'.
As part of the ISEA98 Symposium programme, the research team will present the
work alongside discussion of the issues raised. This will follow an
introductory session on the transitions in visual language by Neville Brody's
Research Studio (publishers of Fuse and Laboratory CD Roms).
If, as artist, designer, academic or theorist, you wish to contribute to these
developments and their interpretation at ISEA98 please provide a summary of
your
proposed presentation and where appropriate some visual examples. Contact:
isea98@livjm.ac.uk or c/o Liverpool Art School (address as above). Please quote
Panel title.
TITLE: MEDIATED NATIONS
Using MED TV as an exemplar, John Byrne (Senior Lecturer at Liverpool John
Moores University) will develop an ISEA98 Panel looking at the historical and
contemporary uses of communications technologies which have sought to disrupt,
subvert and/or 'revolutionise' dominant and received notions of cultural
identity. As a member of MED TV's Protection Council John's team includes Hasan
Sahan (University of Liverpool), Joe Cooper (MED TV) and Hikmet Tabak (MED TV
Director).
MED TV is an independent satellite broadcasting company, based in Brussels,
which seeks to represent the full cultural, political and religious
diversity of
a global Kurdastanese Diaspora. As the Kurds themselves have no politically
recognised 'country', MED TV has increasingly provided a 'virtual' identity for
a historically, politically and geographically dispossessed community.
As such, papers, presentations, demonstrations etc. are invited which will
provide similar examples of how broadcasting technologies (whether Radio, TV,
Video, Digital etc.) have been used in the production, distribution and
exchange
of diverse racial, political, sexual and cultural identities.
Contact: j.byrne@livjm.ac.uk or c/o Liverpool Art School (address as above).
Please quote Panel title.
TITLE: VIRTUAL INTERVENTIONS: DIGITAL AVANT-GARDES
John Byrne (Senior Lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University) and Julia
Knight (Senior Lecturer at the University of Luton and editor of Diverse
Practices - A Critical Reader on British Video Art , 1996, University of Luton
Press/Arts Council of England) are developing a strand for ISEA98 to critically
and theoretically contextualize the use of electronic media in the
production of
radical and oppositional art practices which have sought to disrupt dominant
notions of artistic production, distribution and exchange.
Initially, it is envisaged that this strand be developed in relation to three
key issues:
(1) How have uses of analogic and digital reproductive technologies been
deployed to disrupt dominant notions of art, artistic production, aesthetic
experience and audience reception.
(2) What have been the critical, political, racial, sexual and cultural impact
of these media in the development of radical, oppositional and or
revolutionary
art practices?
(3) How are contemporary uses of electronic and digital reproduction
addressing,
developing these themes and issues through radical and oppositional art
practice.
Papers, presentations, demonstrations, ideas and critical responses are invited
>from historians, critics, philosophers, artists, curators etc. who wish the
engage and contribute to the development of this debate.
Contact: j.byrne@livjm.ac.uk or c/o Liverpool Art School (address as above).
Please quote Panel title.
TITLE: DIGITAL AESTHETICS
Michelle Wardle (Programme Leader, MA Multi-media Design & Production at
Liverpool John Moores University) is currently investigating 'Fine Art
Practice
in Digital Media'. Michelle and Dr. Nancy Flint (Designer for the University's
Learning Methods Unit) together with two PhD Research Students at JMU: Kevin
Furlong ('Sound in Virtual Space') and Rob Rowlands ('Artists as Programmers'),
lead the Electronic Arts Research Group. This Group of artists and researchers
investigate the use of digital technology within art practice. Current research
projects include:
Emergence CD Rom on the Post - industrial/Post-photographic
Evolution 2.0 CD Rom on Generative Arts
We are interested to hear from artists and writers who may wish to collaborate
on the development of a Symposium Panel concerned with 'Digital Aesthetics'
for
ISEA 98.
Papers, presentations and demonstrations in relation to digital imaging,
interactive film, sensory environments, sound in virtual space, generative
programming, interactive multimedia, theories of visual perception are welcome.

TITLE: VARIANT ARCHITECTURE(S) WITHIN CYBER-CELIBACY
Lulu Jones is conducting post-doctorate research into Cyber Convent Populations
at Liverpool John Moores University. She is leading a small team, including
George Buba (Reader in Video at the University of Oterspol), in the critical
re-assessment of convent perimeter structures and the wall-flower metaphor
matrix. Earlier this year, a Liverpool Art School research award enabled Jones
to create artist-in-residence bursaries at the Alpha 9C and Mattas cyber
convents. The artists, Sindy Bootikins (USA) and Bob Van Gupta (Borneo),
created a range of neo-anchorite extensions at both sites. As part of the
ISEA98 Programme, Bootikins and Van Gupta (in a live gallery performance) will
select the seven virgins to be manacled into the convent walls for Virtual
Eternity. Jones and the artists will moderate an ISEA98 Symposium discussion
exploring relations between the w.w.w., Inquisition and the ritual phenomena of
voluntary incarceration.
If, as artist, academic, theorist or supplicant, you wish to contribute to
these
developments and their interpretation at ISEA98 please forward a summary of
your
proposed activities and any relevant supporting materials. Contact:

TITLE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTIMEDIA PROFESSIONAL
Professor Peter Fowler directs the Learning Methods Unit (LMU) at Liverpool
John
Moores University. New Technologies offer a range of challenges and
opportunities for mediated and distance learning programmes. The LMU has
developed and produced multimedia materials for delivery on laser-disc
(1991/3),
CD Rom (from 1994) and the Internet (from 1995). In doing so LMU has been both
innovative and lateral in nurturing the design, communications and domain
expertise prerequisite to these developments.
For ISEA98 Peter will be joined by Dr.Nancy Flint and Roy Stringer, Creative
Director of Amaze Ltd.(1998 Macromedia Award for Best On-line Development), to
develop dialogues concerning:
(A) The Multimedia Product
(B) Future Scenarios
(C) The Multimedia Moment: Addressing the Skills Shortage
If, as designer, educator or product-developer, you wish to contribute to these
developments and their interpretation at ISEA98 please provide a summary of
your
proposed presentation and where appropriate some visual examples. Contact:
p.fowler@livjm.ac.uk or c/o Liverpool Art School (address as above). Please

You are one of the some 76 people who have
spontaneously responded to my essay "Rise of the Stupid Network"
to date. Thank you! I have NEVER in my life had such a response to
something that I have created, and it is truly delightful!
Even the objections have been great to get.
Let us now consider ourselves SMART -- or members of the "Stupid-network
Mindful, Articulate Response Team" -- SMART. (OK . . . so it *is*
a stretch, but what else should we call ourselves?)
To keep the conversation going we are now unified by a mailing reflector
--
correspondence sent to
<smart@research.att.com>
will reach all of us.
Private, individual email also gratefully accepted at
isen@research.att.com.
I look forward the continuing, evolving discussion.
And remember, it takes smart companies to build a Stupid Network.
