On wednesday June 11 V2_Organisatie, Zaal de Unie and de Prom publishers
present an evening with the American cultural philosopher Mark Dery. The
programme is presented as part of the Wiretap series by V2_Organisatie

Mark Dery works and lives in New York. His texts on cyberculture, new
media and alternative culture have been published in a.o. Wired, Rolling
Stone, Mondo 2000, The Village Voice and The New York Times. Dery is
writer of Flame Wars: The Discourse of Cyberculture. His most recent
boek is Escape Velocity (1996). In October 1996 a translation of this
work was published by Uitgeverij Prom (NL) titled: 'The Digital Body.
Cyberculture in the fin-de-millenium.' Dery writes on the fascinating
cross-pollination between man and machine and offers a broad analysis of
the social, aesthetic and religious forces behind the cyberculture
phenomenon.

Preceeding to the lecture the video Pandaemonium (Illuminations/BBC)
will be screened, in which various aspects of machine art are presented
and artists like Mark Pauline (Survival Research Laboratories), Chico
McMurtrie and Stelarc and the culture critics Arthur Kroker and Mark
Dery speak on their work.

The evening will be concluded with a conversation between Mark Dery and
Marcel M=F6ring.

English spoken.
