Date: 1.13.04 From: Eric (epk@xs4all.nl) Subject: An Archaeology of Imaginary Media - De Balie, Amsterdam, February 5 - 8, 2004 A N N O U N C E M E N T An Archaeology of Imaginary Media Excavating mankind's dreams of the ultimate communication medium February 5 - 8, 2004, De Balie - Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.debalie.nl">http://www.debalie.nl</a> An Archaeology of Imaginary Media is a mini-festival in De Balie in Amsterdam around the eternal return of mankind's desire for the ultimate communications medium. Will technological progress finally resolve the human communication problem? The mobile phone mania demonstrates a compulsively attempt to arrive at an affirmative answer to this question. Digging in the history of human communication and its media provides ample grounds for serious doubts. De Balie will bring together a distinguished selection of artists, filmmakers, authors, theoreticians, and especially media archaeologists, to undertake a thorough investigation of the utopian visions of the ultimate communications medium. In a variegated and highly diversified panorama, the visionary perspectives of technological dreamers throughout the centuries will be excavated and held up to the audience. Already for some years, cyberpunk author Bruce Sterling has been collecting dead media. Media that have withered and are mostly forgotten (much like Dutch tv comedians van Kooten & De Bie predicted the demise of phillips' cd-i many years ago). Erkki Huhtamo has been digging up the pre-history of interactivity from the caverns of forgetfulness. Edwin Carels discovers in the pre-history of cinema the bizarre concept that moving image and sound might be a medium to establish contact with 'those in the hereafter'. Siegfried Zielinksi also finds death in media in the (delusional) conceptions of the media-engineers. Edison created a machine to communicate with the "sprits", and Zoe Beloff made a film about it. She will cast a light on the matter. And wasn't cyberspace the ultimate means to abolish the borders of race and gender? Away with the body!!! Who still beliefs that today? What is it that inspires men time and again to believe in their own machines? Maybe literary scholar and media-sociologist Klaus Theweleit can shed some light in the dark? Peter Blegvad became famous as a musician because of his involvement with cult-bands such as Faust, Slap Happy and Henry Cow in the early seventies, after which he went through a remarkable solo career. As an avant-gardist he appeared in New York in the environs of people like John Zorn (Locus Solus). Simultaneously he established himself as an extraordinary cartoonist with his series Leviathan, widely regarded as an important innovation of the cartoon genre. Blegvad created a theatrical performance "On Imaginary Media" specifically for this program. A philosophical drama, a multi-layered collage of meditations on the sublimity and tragedy of imaginary media, of the dream for the ultimate communications medium. Musicians John Greaves and Chris Cutler, with whom he has previously realised many avant-gardistic music projects, and Dutch actor Kees Hulst accompany Blegvad during the performance. Richly illustrated lectures, films, discussion, a narrative space with works by cartoonists and artists, the philosophical theatre of Blegvad and an extensive film program, together paint the contours of an eternal dream that manages to hold people time and again under its sway, from Heinrich Suso's late-medieval Horologium Sapientae to the unfolding debacle of 3G**.

In Absentia Many visual illusions in a hybrid animation film in which the thoughts of a woman writing a letter are visualised. Soundtrack by Karl Heinz Stockhausen. Out of the ether Handmade 16mm film, composed on an optical printer, tells about dark techno forces that attempt not only to invade or bodies, but also our minds. Gothic Aztecs A demonic reliquary of Medusa-Quetzalcoatl gives godly and demonic visions to a young woman. Gothic Aztects is a film in which the viewer is projected into the brain of the female priest, and in doing so experience her artificial mediatized delirium. - Late program 23:30 Friday, February 6: Anatomy of time The waving to the camera of filmmaker and time-traveller Arthur Dauphin, obscure contemporary of the LumiÃ¨re brothers, who already knew a century ago that behind the seemingly lifeless machine of the camera a new secret future world was hidden. Out of the present Russian cosmonauts leave the Soviet Union for space station Mir. Meanwhile the Soviet empire collapses, leaving the cosmonauts in limbo. Out of the present contains the first breathtaking 35mm footage ever made of planet Earth. Due to technical problems the majority of that footage and a 35mm camera were set overboard before the last crew returned to earth, leaving the pictures of the earth encircling it forever. - Main program 22:00 Saturday, February 7: Conceiving Ada Programmer Emma wants to get contact with the long since passed away Ada Byron King, pioneer on artificial intelligence and daughter of the poet Lord Byron.

Eye like a strange balloon A drawing of the French Symbolist painter Odile Redon is taken as the surreal inspiration for a story about the triangle relationship between a father, his son and an orphan girl during a strange train travel. Retrospectroscope Like Plateau's disk, the 'retrospectroscope' can be seen as a procession of flickering phantasies and fragmented lyricism; its existence today lies hidden within the processes from which it has created itself. videÃ?void Contemplation about the apparent void of time and space as communication vehicles for thought and matter. - Continuous screening of documentaries, 6, 7, 8 February 14:00 - 20:00 hrs, among others: The man who wanted to classify the world Documentary about Belgian visionary Paul Otlet, who, long before Ted Nelson claimed and invented the term hypertext, imagined the so called 'Mundaneum' as a kind of proto Internet, aimed at a worldwide information system to support and establish world peace, but obstructed by WWII.

The Workshop on "Space: Science, Technology and the Arts" aims to: * provide a platform where new ideas and experiments relating to the interaction of space science, technology and the arts can be exposed and debated * provide an environment where people, especially artists and other "culture professionals" together with space scientists, engineers can exchange ideas and projects about space from the perspective of their unique backgrounds, education and experiences * provide a meeting place where new space art and technology projects can emerge and new teams and partnerships can be built * nurture a domain of space activities that is becoming more recognized in both the space community and in the mainstream art world * disseminate the ideas and projects by publicizing the results of the event. About 30-40 participants will be selected on the basis of a submitted abstract of a proposed presentation. Presentations can be about any aspect or issue related to "Space: Science, Technology and the Arts". Potential participants might like to consider submitting abstracts for presentations addressing such topics as: * the impact of space technologies on the arts and vice-a-versa * the transfer of space technologies to art and design * the role and involvement of space bodies in the arts * designing art for the space environment - the requirements, the limitations * synergies between the arts and space communities * the interaction between space, arts and the public * space and the new media arts * using the arts to explore space * the arts in orbit - use of the ISS for artistic and cultural expression. Authors need not, of course, limit themselves to these topics. The deadline for abstract submission is 29 February 2004. There is no charge for participation in the workshop however each participant will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. A reasonably priced hotel with half-pension has been reserved in the nearby town of Noordwijk and booking information will be sent to all participants that are accepted.

It actually prompted me to post to the list which I've been neglecting to do the last few weeks. Having something like this officially connected with email lists could be a very helpful tool IMO. I have one question, do you consider this to be art? software? software art? net art? Not that it matters much, it's an interesting piece of socio-cultural software IMO, but I was curious as to how you approached it or contextualized it for yourself.

Still trying to forget the cool factor out of it, I hope it helps in coming up with mental images of this spaces, normally completely hidden to the eye. That was the main idea that moved me into this project. "And I'm in the center! Ha!" and now you guys pushed me to the center of the stage! :totally blushed, upraises his shoulders and looks down to the floor "That's odd, because my "day job" is working on a mailing list manager: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dadamail.org">http://dadamail.org</a> If there's anything you'd like to integrate in the application level of my MLM, like some sort of interesting API, let me know :) It may make an interesting side project, as I'm going to be beefing up the Discussion list support of it in a few weeks time." good one!. Well I'm not sure how we could work on that, I've been kinda bussy latelly and I can't really commit myself into other projects right now. I could give you an API for that and give you the source for the project. Problem is it works mainly on CFMX+mySQL, and your stuff seems to be pretty different. Well, maybe we could somehow figure it out, email me offlist [mail at marcosweskamp.com] if you are still interested. t.whind said: "I have one question, do you consider this to be art? software? software art? net art? Not that it matters much, it's an interesting piece of socio-cultural software IMO, but I was curious as to how you approached it or contextualized it for yourself." I definitivelly consider this net.art driven by non-academic research based on academic research by a postmodern non academic self addressed artist. still, my main interest was not really creating pretty flying circles, but a visually interesting installment driven by live data produced by real people;) well, I guess… I wasn't really sure about what this all was untill I saw it working myself:) "Are you mapping other lists? which ones? can others use the tool to map lists?" yups, you can select other lists from the dropdown on the top left of the screen. I'm still asking people around to send me suggestions on other lists they'd like to see, so If you have any potentially interesting one, please let me know! nikola said: "Voluntarily participation in different kind of "social action"(answering on every kind of question)suit nice to cyber space.Singularity is replaced with general scanning,instead recognized personal image people agree to be part of social DNK.Interesting!" those are really wise words nikola.
