DIGITALE 99
Digital Autonomy
30 September - 2 October 1999
Cinemathek Cologne
This year's Digitale points out distinctive features of the new production
technologies.
It seems as if small handy cameras linked to clever
dogmas and an effective promotion on the www have turned traditional
production methods upside down.
The first event of Digitale is taking place on Thursday and has a special
focus on the new possibilities offered by mobile cameras.
On Friday, Digitale explores "local changes" that start in South America,
passing down the "Road of Fraternity" towards the Balkans and ending in a
rhythmic trip around "Lucky People Center's" globe.
On Saturday, under the title "Digital/Analogue Streaming", Digitale
examines the scope of what can be created by clever changes of media and
codes.
Brunches will take place in the mornings and are dedicated to personalities
like Richard Leacock and Fernando Birri. On Saturday morning, the focus is
on the distribution methods for independent films.
The Workshops present examples and discussions on the subject "Digital
Autonomy".
The evening Screenings open with the first performance of y e c, an
initiative to promote the young European cinema, followed by a screening of
Richard Leacock films.
Erik Pauser and Johan Söderberg also present their "Lucky People Center
International". On Saturday, Digitale invites everyone for an evening with
Paul Morrissey.
For the final event, under the title "Kiss Me More", F.M. Einheit reacts at
ARTheater on Digitale's visuals.
Hellmuth Costard contributes an extra event which will be presented next to
the workshops, Blackhole TV by Timothée Ingen-Housz broadcasts its program
on the www and IACE present a concept on instant archaeology.
THURSDAY, 30 September
10.00 h OPENING OF DIGITALE
Nils Röller and Siegfried Zielinski
IACE
Direct Cinema - Mobile Cameras - A morning with Richard Leacock
Richard Leacock belongs to the direct cinema movement that shot with
mobile film cameras for example Kennedy's election campaign, the Monterey
Pop Festival and the last moment reprieve of a man sentenced to death.
The filmmaker and cameraman will give an overview of the history of the
mobile camera, starting from its use in Burma, China and Japan during
WW II, to the first performance of Prokofjev's symphonic drama in Siberia,
that was filmed with a digital camera.
13.00 h: Break
14.00 h WORKSHOP:
Actual Movements in Film - moderated by Keith Griffiths
This workshop which was organized in co-operation with Keith Griffiths,
has a special focus on the development and characteristics of the camera
itself, and the parallel progress and success of digital dogmas.
Tara Veneruso will give an overview of digital feature films that have been
produced in the U.S. and supported by the company Next Wave Films, L.A.
Even though Paul Morrissey thinks that you can only do one independent film
once in your life time, he admits that digital production methods offer a
range of
possibilities.
In his film "Nightfall", Fred Kelemen has used and mixed different film
techniques together. He presents actual examples and discusses them with
the audience.
Eoin Moore compares Super 16 and DV on the basis of his new production.
Hellmuth Costard presents an extra: He will record the workshops with
digital video cameras that are connected to an editing system.

y e c - young european cinema - presented by Simon Field
For the first initiative of y e c, five young European filmmakers have
realized ultra-low budget short films on mobile DV cameras. The films will be
presented for the first time at Digitale.
y e c 's objective is to produce thematically orientated editions every year.
The first edition has a special focus on the notion "identity", a term that
has always been a very sensible point of departure when selecting the
filmmakers.
We encounter filmmakers whose biographies reflect a kind of European
nomadism. People characterized by Europe, travelling through Europe,
filmmakers whose artwork is anchored in Europe. y e c 's first edition is a
co-production between the filmmakers and Digitale and is supported by SONY
Germany. The editing is made possible by Studio Systeme Schell, Cologne.
y e c 's pilot version will present the films of the following directors:
Andrea Staka
Yaak Kilmi
Sandra Kogut

Digital/Analogue Streaming - presented by Jürgen Moritz and Jaanis Garancs
Errors and unstable systems are opportunities offered by digital
technology and are often used by experimental electronic workspaces.
With the development of streaming media formats, some media initiatives
went online, working on experimental networks using mixed media formats
of live and archive in text, image and sound. On JODI`s homepage, you can
find Mego, Farmers Manual, re-lab and Backspace figure on a map.
Autonomous spaces, collective work, experiments, self-organization and
networking as a principal idea of culture. In performances and lectures
and in co-operation with VinylVideo TM, the different labs will examine
the scope of what can be created by clever changes of media and codes
and discuss strategies for image and sound distribution.

Intensive, una scena ultimativa
progetto web sulla fotografia italiana contemporanea
Intensive, an ultimate scene
web project on contemporary italian photography
http://www.iper.net/intensive intensive@iper.net
Intensive, una scena ultimativa, mette in contatto artisti che, pur con
modalità diverse, operano attraverso l'utilizzo di materiali fotografici e
che con la loro produzione hanno più volte ribadito la loro radicale
posizione nei confronti dell'opera e della sua "collocazione". Il
tentativo è quello di costituire un luogo d'incontro e di confronto, un
laboratorio condiviso privo di mediazioni in cui per la prima volta si
confrontano organicamente le diverse esperienze, individuando uno spazio
comune nel quale rendere possibile ciò che nella realtà è divenuto sempre
più difficile o problematico.
Intensive, an ultimate scene, connects one to the other artists that, we
different approaches, apply photography. Through their production these
artists have stressed more than once their radical position for what the
artwork and its collation are concerned. On an ideal framework they have
singled out a common space that makes possible whatever in our reality
became more and more difficult. Their attemptive is to build up a place for
meetings and exchange of viewpoints, a shared workshop free from any
mediation, where, for the first time, various experiences can be
sistematically compared.

We are writing to invite Nettime to participate in and contribute to the
MEDIA CHANNEL, a new non-profit global supersite. The Media Channel is
a non-profit public service website dedicated to reporting on and
engaging with the mass media worldwide. As we envision it, this site
will offer a 'one-stop-shop' for all those concerned about the media:
journalists, broadcasters, producers, writers, as well as artists,
activists, teachers, and students. Our aim is to provide a forum for a
lively discussion from diverse perspectives. The Media Channel will be
a gateway to information from journalists, critics, and scholars, as
well as arts organizations, galleries, museums, and academic
institutions, from around the world.
At the Media Channel, we strongly believe that the arts are a vital part
of our cultural Conversation about the media that, more and more, are
molding our sense of ourselves and the world we live in. Thus, we're
proud to feature the noted curator, critic, and writer Robert Atkins as
curator of the Media Arts section of the Media Channel. "The Media
Channel regards art as another medium in the age of mass media,' says
Atkins, "part of what the German philosopher Hans Magnus Enzensberger
would call the 'consciousness industry.' If you're interested in the
mass media, we're betting you'll be Interested in the unique ways media
artists Engage with crucial questions about the relationship between our
society and the media."
The Media Channel will launch this fall. The web address will be
www.mediachannel.org.
The Media Channel will be part of, and will be promoted by, the UK-based
OneWorld Online (www.oneworld.org), which offers a broad-ranging,
multilingual news service that receives millions of hits weekly and
features aggregated content from partner groups worldwide. The
organizations benefit from OneWorld's global distribution platform and
marketing reach.
We have been to your site and are impressed with the content you are
offering. We would like to link to your site, call attention to your
work, and drive traffic to your pages. Our partners at OneWorld have
done this successfully over the last five years for hundreds of
organizations and media outlets. Many groups have joined because they
get more hits and visibility internationally, others because it is a
good way to network and stay informed about what others in their field
are doing and thinking. Think of the Media Channel as one more way to
connect your content to the world, a powerful new distribution platform
as well as an on-line community.
Already many prominent media organizations will be participating in the
Media Channel, including: the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting
Freedom in Britain, Columbia Journalism Review, FST-Finnish Public
Broadcasting, Fairness And Accuracy In Reporting, Nigeria's Media Rights
Agenda, the Benton Foundation, Harvard's Nieman Reports, the Malaysian
media reform group Aliran Kesedaran Nedgara, MediaSpace, le Monde
diplomatique, Freedom Forum, the Arabic Media Internet Network, and the
Media Institute of Southern Africa.
The Media Channel is a non-profit project of The Global Center, an
IRS-certified educational foundation, and OneWorld Online, a non-profit
venture of England's OneWorld Broadcasting Trust. It is being produced
by Globalvision New Media in cooperation with an international team of
media professionals, journalists, scholars, artists, and critics.
Please let us know if you will take part in the Media Channel. We will
send you more information when we hear from you.

Trademark™ has opened their interactive web site, www.u-frame.nl,
containing a system that allows webusers to make do-it-yourself 3-D
icons created from a collection of over 1000 images.
The U-Frame is a deep wooden frame designed to hold up to 6 transparent
gels. Trademark™ has put together an extensive image bank of thousands
of hand-worked gels - featuring patterns, colors, photographs, and other
visual elements - for use in the U-Frame. Each image is unique and can
only be used once.
The artistic project foundation, Trademark™, developed U-Frame in
response to their curiosity about how people relate to the constant
flood of media images. U-Frame trials at Kunst Rai art fair in Amsterdam
revealed that users found themselves confronted with and openly
discussing ideas that transcended the images at hand.
Trademark™ is a foundation with artists, critics, philosophers, and
designers working together on innovative projects in the worlds of art,
art criticism, and the art market. Past activities include Art on
Request, a form for customized art, as well as The People's Choice, an
exhibition about art for the people held in 1997 at Rotterdam's Kunsthal
in collaboration with Komar & Melamid.
