The Dead Celebrity Diaries will be updated daily until the end of the millenium. A host of famous dead make their diary entries, giving us a unique chance to see what goes on in celebrity "paradise"? where no matter how famous you are there will always be someone more famous than you. Performance and installation at Cafe Zoolounge, tuesday, november 16, 20:00h. Cafe Zoolounge are pleased to announce the opening of our first Internet art project: The Dead Celebrity Diaries by Kate Pendry Dead Diana is artist and actor Kate Pendry's alter ego from the other side. Diana will manifest on Zoolounge cafe gallery & online. Since opening in 1996, contemporary art has been central to the Zoolounge concept, especially with regard to video art, installation and performance. Now, Zoolounge expands its art concept to the Internet. Selected artists will be given the opportunity and assistance to create web projects at http://www.zoolounge.com/. As before, the projects may also take physical form in the cafe itself, often in drastic ways. "We are especially happy to be able to open the Internet section with Kate Pendry. She is a new kind of storyteller who utilizes both the Internet and the physical space and adapts the story to her chosen media," says Ingwill M. Gjelsvik, artististic and technical manager for the Zoolounge web and gallery. This quasi-religious installation / internet project looks ironically at the cult of celebrity and our mania for all persons dead+famous. In Zoolounge an altar with an iconographic image of Diana (including autopsy scars) and the bible-like diary are placed amongs urbanites who drink, meet and greet under the saintly eye of Diana, the most famous dead celebrity of them all. On the internet the Dead Celebrity Diaries use hypertext narrative and daily updates to show just how far-reaching our obsession with celebrity is. Kate Pendry Kate Pendry is an artist, actor and playwright. She is best known for her controversial performance and Internet project Dead Diana http://www.deaddiana.com She has worked in the realm of media art for several years and participated at the Electra exhibition and the 5th International Biennale in Istanbul. Kate Pendry is currently also represented with the work "Charlie Pendry's Talking Head" at the DETOX itinerant exhibiton, which opened at Kunstnernes hus in Oslo on November 13 http://www.riksut.no/detox Offline on December the 14th.: "Dear Diary, They're all here. John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Sharon Tate, Jim Morrison. I have tried to persuade them to stick to writing in the Dead Celebrity Diary, but now they all want to go back amongst the living and tell their stories. It is dangerous but I don't think I can stop them. I have arranged for them to appear on December the 14th. God help us all. Diana, Princess of Wales" "it's a kate pendry thing" Performance: Tuesday December 14th 20.00 Loation: Zoolounge, Kristian Augusts gate 7 B, Oslo URL: http://www.zoulounge.com More information: Ingwill M.

The list of artists invited to participate was released in the New York Times last week. Amerika will be featuring his online narrative GRAMMATRON, a story about cyberspace, Cabala mysticism, digicash paracurrencies and the evolution of virtual sex in a society afraid to go outside and get in touch with its own nature. According to the artist, "GRAMMATRON depicts a near-future world where stories are no longer conceived for book production but are instead created for a more immersive networked-narrative environment that, taking place on the Web, calls into question how a narrative is composed, published and distributed in network culture." The GRAMMATRON web site, located at www.grammatron.com, has attracted over one million visitors since it was first released in 1997 and was an immediate Internet sensation with feature articles and reviews in the New York Times, The Village Voice, Wired, MSNBC's The Site, Reuters International and Time Digital. The project has been exhibited in over 20 international art shows including the Ars Electronica Festival, the International Symposium of Electronic Art, SIGGRAPH, the Guggenheim's "Cyberatlas" show, the Adelaide Arts Festival "FOLDBACK" show in South Australia, and "Virtual Worlds 98" held in Paris.

Free and open to the public. Contact: mailto:etoyconference@rtmark.com (646)228-8822 (Friday 12/18 to Monday 12/20 only) More information: http://rtmark.com/etoy/ http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html On November 29, freedom on the Internet suffered a potentially devastating blow when the e-commerce toy giant eToys was granted a court injunction against the European online art collective etoy (no "s"), forcing the much longer-established artists to stop using their domain name, etoy.com, which predates eToys' existence by two years. (Most recently, Network Solutions, the company that maintains the master list of internet addresses (domains) has blocked email service to etoy.com, though this was not mandated by the injunction.) On December 12, RTMark, an online activist group, announced an initiative aimed at raising public awareness of the situation. With a new series of on-line activities organized in a "mutual fund" structure (http://rtmark.com/etoy/), RTMark is helping to create a precedent that will show corporations that they cannot abuse the law on the Internet with impunity, much as the Internet-driven Brent Spar fiasco forced Shell and other petroleum companies to consider environmental impact before undertaking potentially destructive operations (http://rtmark.com/shell). The "etoy Fund" and other anti-eToys campaigns have been so successful that the 40% drop in eToys' share price which began on November 29, the day of the injunction, has been widely attributed to the protests and to fear of their results. The campaign will continue and intensify during the last- minute Christmas shopping rush. The activities in the "etoy Fund" range from direct hacking and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against eToys.com, to information campaigns directed at eToys investors on ETYS Internet message boards, to traditional boycotts and pickets. Several of the projects have already been a demonstrable success; perhaps most visibly, the "Virtual Sit-in" (http://rtmark.com/sitin.html), a sophisticated DoS attack in which tens of thousands have participated, has rendered the eToys servers uselessly sluggish at times. (The RAND Corporation warned eToys this could happen, apparently to no avail; see http://www.usatoday.com/usatonline/19991215/1754367s.htm.) Confirmed speakers and participants in Monday's press conference include etoy spokespeople, the Electronic Disturbance Theater (developers of the Virtual Sit-in software), Fakeshop (designers of the Virtual Sit-in pages), spokespeople for other embattled domains (http://rtmark.com/etoyother.html), Santas Against eToys (we expect about twenty), The Hungry March Band, Reverend Billy, the computer buyer's advice columnist for iVillage.com, and Internet advisory Rhizome. Question-and-answer periods will follow each speaker. BACKGROUND eToys is the third largest e-business on the Internet; etoy.com, which eToys lawyers have shut down, is the domain synonymous with the oldest, best-known, and most influential Internet art group, etoy. etoy has owned etoy.com since 1995, before eToys existed, and two years before eToys registered its own URL. etoy.com has never made any reference to eToys. See http://rtmark.com/etoypress.html for more information. RTMark, which is in no way associated with etoy, aims to publicize the widespread corporate abuse of democratic institutions like courts and elections. To this end it solicits and distributes funding for "sabotage projects"; the groups of such projects are called "mutual funds" in order to call attention to one way in which large numbers of people come to identify corporate needs as their own. RTMark projects do not normally target specific companies; the etoy Fund projects are an exception. RTMark is no stranger to the hot topic of domain-name control. The World Trade Organization's press release about http://gatt.org, accusing RTMark of "illegal practices" in publishing information critical of the WTO at that site, merely brought the WTO ridicule from the press (http://rtmark.com/gatt.html); George W. Bush's and Microsoft's legal attacks on GWBush.com (http://rtmark.com/bush.html) and MicrosoftEdu.com (http://rtmark.com/allpress.html#mse) failed to affect the domains. See also http://rtmark.com/othersites.html for more on this issue. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | 1 5 | - - - - Press release November 29, 1999 Exploding Cinema, section of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, 29th edition, January 26 - February 6, 2000 For the year 2000, the International Film Festival Rotterdam expects to build upon the more than 300,000 admissions of 1999 and once again will offer a diverse and adventurous programme with more than 200 films and digital features plus many shorts and, in addition in its prize winning Exploding Cinema section, an 'explosion' of new directions for the moving image. TECH.POP.JAPAN As part of the Japan programme of the festival, Exploding Cinema will concentrate on the crossovers between animation, online, art, design, videogames and the moving image. As Tokyo is steeped in mass culture, created and consumed by the masses, media evolves with the increase of information and the wider distribution of information. Visual media and visual information develop, they all diffuse a quantity of mass media. Everyday life is filled with visual information, in games, advertisements, the internet and the streets; Tokyo artists and filmmakers have developed a hybrid language and special aesthetics. The programme shows that Japanese pop culture is an urban and media-informed culture where the boundaries between high culture, mass culture, and subculture have become excitingly blurred. The programme offers a cut and paste of moving images, music, pop culture, interactive media and art. Special features of the Tech.Pop.Japan include: JAPANESE MEDIAPOP LOUNGE A 50's cinema will be redesigned as a Japanese media-culture lounge where people can listen to Japanese DJ's, watch films, play games, experience screen based art, have drinks, eat sushi and read books and magazines from Japan. The lounge will also show some location based entertainment from Japan (like arcade games) as well as small portable devices and installations, featuring TOKYO EPOS from Geert Mul, BITHIKE, presenting software with which you can make your own animation, WATCHING MUSIC, LISTENING PICTURE and A GRITTY SLIPPERY HARDY FLABBY THING from Ages5 & Up and KAGE, with which you can sent animations to one another. TOKYO TECHNO TOURISM An exhibition of Japanese videogames, which takes visitors on a tour of Techno-Media city Tokyo, navigated by video games. You can have a fight downtown, drive a car on the Metropolitan Express Way or attend a dance contest in the nightlife area. FILM AND ANIMATION Film programmes show a new generation of film-makers who come from different backgrounds such as game design, animation and videogames. For example Japan Edge, a secret history and forbidden prophesies, using a mixed-media approach, and drawing from sources such as animation, manga, Japanese cult films (from Godzilla to yakuza movies), and music videos. Furthermore there will be programmes with digital shorts from Japanese film-makers and graphic designers, and music video's featuring Imai Toons, The Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five, Hideyuki Tanaka, Stereotype Product and Cowboy Bebop. MUSIC/LIVE There will be multimedia live performances by artists and collaborations between film-makers, animators and musicians. To be included this year: a performance by DJ Krush a night around Sublime, the Japanese cutting edge label for electronic music. OSHII MAMORU: FILM-MAKER IN FOCUS Each year the festival selects three film-makers in mid-career who remain far too little recognized internationally. This year one of the three will be Oshii Mamoru, recognized as one of the masters of animation to rank alongside Miyazaki and Otomo. The festival will present a selection of the features he has directed and scripted plus several of his short films and videogames. The programme will include his great GHOST IN THE SHELL. The Kunsthal will have the exhibition Manga Manga!, the first manga exhibition in the Netherlands, with art of Japanese comics, from January 22 till March 26, 2000. MASTERCLASS, THE FUTURE OF THE SMALL SCREEN In addition to showcasing new directions in cinema and digital media, The International Film Festival Rotterdam takes an active role in stimulating new media developments. For the second time the Exploding Cinema organises a masterclass for film- and television directors and new media designers in collaboration with the Stimuleringsfonds voor Culturele Omroepprodukties (the state fund for cultural projects for broadcasting). Film, television and new media directors work together for a week to investigate new creative opportunities arising from digital media and interactivity, concentrating on the future relationship of television and computers. Focussing on narrative as well as non-linear programs, in fiction and documentary, the goal of the masterclass is to identify concepts for programs that could not be made in traditional media or on television alone. The masterclass will be led by Dutch and international directors and mentors such as Tota Hasegawa (interface designer) and Glenn Kaino (Commworks). The masterclas will take place in Rotterdam from January 30 till Febuary 3, 2000. PANELS: THE FUTURE OF MEDIA DISTRIBUTION Exploding Cinema will present a programme of panels and presentations in collaboration with the CineMart for the professional film industry about the future of distribution. Panels will focus on how the internet transforms the existing media industries and who the new players are, showing new players and networks that are entering the living room and the way they will deliver film and video. The programme will ask questions like: what is the future of distribution? What kind of new hybrid media forms and content experiences are appearing out of this convergence, and how will that effect the way an audience interacts with content? Speakers are for example Robert Tercek (vice president Sony Digital), Rap-artist Ice-T, Jim Banister (Warner Brothers Online) and Michael Nash (Madison Project). Keynote speaker is Henry Jenkins, Professor/Director of the Program in Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT, and writer of FROM BARBIE TO MORTAL KOMBAT. CINEMA WITHOUT WALLS As usual the festival collaborates with other Rotterdam art institutions. The Boijmans van Beuningen Museum will have an exhibition of work by Sharon Lockhart, including her new film THEATRAS AMAZONAS plus installations by Shirin Neshat, Fiona Tan (FACING FORWARD) and Tacita Dean (BUBBLE HOUSE). Witte de With, centre for contemporary art, presents 'Stimuli', exploring levels of hallucination, ecstasy, trance and shock in contemporary art. Included are film/video related installations by Nasrin Tabatabai and Bruce Nauman. The Dutch Institute of Architecture (NAI) will have the exhibition; Town for the Film, Japanese filmarchitecture by Yohei Taneda from January 21 till March 5, 2000. Yohei Taneda is a film-set designer, whose work is exhibited for the first time in Europe. It vividly reveals the new notion of city and architecture depicted in Japanese and Asian cinema. On Friday January 14, 2000, there are press screenings of films from the Exploding Cinema section and other work in the Filmmuseum, Vondelpark 3, Amsterdam, starting at about 10.00 hr. The programme will be e-mailed to you as soon as it is finished and can be found on our website, www.iffrotterdam.nl. You can now subscribe to the Exploding Cinema mailing list by sending an e-mail with subject SUBSCRIBE to exploding@iffrotterdam.nl.
