Date: 1.05.04 From: Oliver Ressler (oliver.ressler@chello.at) Subject: Fwd: information on exhibition "Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies" in Lueneburg (for German and an image please scroll down) ALTERNATIVE ECONOMICS, ALTERNATIVE SOCIETIES A project by Oliver Ressler Kunstraum der Universitaet Lueneburg Scharnhorststr.1, 21335 Lueneburg, Germany opening: Thursday, 08.01.04, 8 pm <a rel="nofollow" href="http://kunstraum.uni-lueneburg.de">http://kunstraum.uni-lueneburg.de</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ressler.at">http://www.ressler.at</a> After the loss of a countermodel for capitalism - which socialism, in its real, existing form had presented until its collapse - alternative concepts for economic and social development are facing difficulties at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In the industrial nations, "alternatives" are only broadly discussed when they do not question the existing power relations of the capitalist system and representative democracies. Other socio-economic approaches are, on the other hand, labeled utopian, devalued, and excluded from serious discussion if even considered at all. In the framework of the theme-specific installation, "Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies," the focus is on diverse concepts, models, and utopias for alternative economies and societies which all share a rejection by the capitalist system of rule. For each concept, an interview was carried out from which an English video was produced. In the exhibition, these single-channel 20 to 37 minute videos are each shown on a separate monitor thus forming the central element of the artistic installation. The project presents alternative social and economic models such as "Inclusive Democracy" from Takis Fotopoulos (GB/GR), "Participatory Economy" from Michael Albert (U.S.A.), and "Free Cooperation" from Christoph Spehr (G). Nancy Folbre (U.S.A.) speaks about her concept of "Caring Labor," and Marge Piercy (U.S.A.) discusses the feminist-anarchist utopias of her social fantasies. As interesting historical models, the workers' self-management in Yugoslavia in the sixties and seventies are thematized in the exhibition by Todor Kuljic (SCG) and the workers' collectives during the Spanish Civil War (1936-38) by Salom=E9 Molt=F3 (E). Chosen for each video is one quotation significant for the alternative model that it presents. The quote is placed directly on the floor of the exhibition room as a several meter long text piece. This floor lettering, made from adhesive film, leads exhibition visitors directly to the corresponding videos, yet the quotes also overlap one another and subdivide the room into different sections. The exhibition project will be continually expanded in the coming years through further economic and social concepts. These form a non-hierarchically arranged pool, which offers stimulus and suggestions for contemplation of social alternatives and possibilities for action. The installation "Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies" is realized within the following exhibitions: Galerija Skuc, Ljubljana (SI), 30.10. - 23.11.03 ("Alternative Economics,…") Espace Forde, Geneve (CH), 06. - 19.12.03 ("There is no Alternative") Kunstraum der Universitat Luneburg (G), 08. - 16.01.04 ("Alternative Economics,…") Transmediale.04, Berlin (G), 31.01. - 15.02.04 ("fly utopia!")

The project is supported by the EU-Program Culture 2000 and the BKA section for the arts.

Date: 1.05.04 From: Jo-Anne Green (jo@turbulence.org) Subject: Turbulence Commission: "Stand By Your Guns" by Jillian Mcdonald FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 5, 2004 Turbulence Commission: "Stand By Your Guns" by Jillian Mcdonald <a rel="nofollow" href="http://turbulence.org/Works/mcdonald/">http://turbulence.org/Works/mcdonald/</a> >From movies/television and computer/video games to political posturing and gangster rap, weapons have become as "embedded" in our everyday lives as US journalists were in the military during the "major combat" phase of the 2003 Iraq war. "Stand By Your Guns" confronts us with the ubiquity of guns and how violent simulations translate into real life shootings. It is an absurdist piece that both glorifies the weapon and masquerades as an entertainment arcade. BIOGRAPHY Jillian Mcdonald is a Canadian performance and media artist who lives and works in New York City. Her web projects include "Things are Okay" and "Home Like No Place" which were produced in residency at Trinity Square Video in Toronto, and La Chambre Blanche Gallery in Québec City. "Home Like No Place" was featured at La Biennale de Montreal 2002. "Me and Billy Bob" was launched in May 2003 and "Ivy League" is part of StudioXX's Virtual Garden project. "Advice Lounge," created in residency at Videographe and featured at FCMM in Montreal, will be performed live at Saskatoons Spasm New Media Festival in Spring 2004. Mcdonald received a Canada Council for the Arts Grant for the creation of four new media projects in 2003.

Date: 1.10.04 From: Pete (virtualart@culture.hu-berlin.de) Subject: Critical review of Virtual Art This critical review of Grau's book on Virtual Art appeared recently in INTELLIGENT AGENT written by Patrick Lichty. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.intelligentagent.com">http://www.intelligentagent.com</a> "…virtual image spaces of the computer… (are) not the revolutionary innovation its protagonists are fond of interpreting it to be. The idea of virtual reality only appears to be without a history; in fact, it rests firmly on historical art traditions, which belong to a discontinuous movement of seeking illusionary image spaces." Grau, Virtual Art, p. 339 In this statement, Oliver Grau sums up what is probably the most significant contribution this book makes to the study of New Media Art. With many instances of novel technologies, creative or otherwise, proponents have asserted that current practices constitute the pinnacle of human knowledge to date or represent a degree of novelty that distances them from history. The examination of the historical context of technological media, especially in the arts, has been scant to date. In this book, Grau brings a refreshing perspective to the topic by illustrating that the genre of immersive spaces has been actively pursued since classical times, and, I might even argue, since the caves of Lascaux were painted. This approach refutes the Fukuyama-esque assertion that new media art is either separate from history or a terminal point of the same. Conversely, Grau points to Adorno's admonitions about placing contemporary art in a continuous history, suggesting that there is nothing new under the sun. What needs to be considered here are the points of difference in the sites throughout history, and this is one of Grau's other points. Grau begins his analysis of immersive spaces throughout pre-modern times at the Roman Villa Dei Misteri at Pompeii, an initiation site for the sect of Bacchus, and moves on to Bismarck's commissioning of the grand panorama of The Battle of Sedan, which was completed in 1883. From Pompeii to Berlin, Grau constructs a narrative of the context of the culture, politics, and representative function of the various spaces – from the ecstatic to the devotional to the propagandistic – and reveals how the various techniques of construction reflected the agendas of the constructors. The idea that new technologies have largely served to inscribe agendas of power upon the masses is not new, but used as an analytical context for this subject from ancient Rome to today raises important questions about the social function of immersive spaces. >From Sedan, Grau takes a relatively brief sojourn through Modernist immersive spaces, including Monet's panorama in Giverny, Prampolini's polydimensional Futurism, Schwitters' Merz theatre, the Cineorama, the Futurama, Heilig's famed Sensorama, leading up to the contemporary IMAX theatre. In his (rather brief) exposition of these modern spaces of immersion and illusion, there is a distinct shift from the panoramic rendering to the expansion of the cinematic as space of illusion, and to Sutherland's development of the Head-Mounted-Display, which brings the reader to the contemporary era. To contextualize the issues of immersion in contemporary virtual works, Grau considers numerous pieces of virtual art, including Davies' Osmose, Benayoun's World Skin, Naimark's Be Now Here, as well as other spaces that consider the role of immersion in the representation of identity, the political, and the monumental. In many of these cases, such as Shaw's Place 2000, and Benayoun's World Skin, the agendas of power are translated quite clearly from antiquity. However, in the case of Benayoun, this is done more subversively as the virtual 'photographers,' in a direct metaphor taken from Marey's photographic gun, literally create 'holes' in the landscape through their act of taking snapshots of the landscape. Grau relates this metaphor once again and brings the virtual into a historical context quite nicely while illustrating contextual differences in the cultural and technological functions of the work. The remaining segments consist of sections on telepresence and genetic art, covering most notably Penny's Traces and Kac's GFP Bunny. Although meticulously researched and well framed in the rubric of illusionism, Grau falls victim to the fin-de-millennium tendency in new media scholarship to be overly inclusive in light of a movement (i.e. New Media) which is so chimeric and multifaceted as to make any comprehensive analysis difficult at best. Although Grau does wonderfully at making a case for the inclusion of the telepresent and the genetic in his text, this seems to come at some cost to expansion on the rich history of immersion in the 20th century. Likewise, the sociopolitical analysis constructed in the pre-modern section shifts to a markedly theoretical treatment in the postmodern era. Although this may be indicative of the cultural framing of the periods involved, or the fact that the book is a translation of a recent revision, I felt a desire to read Grau's analysis of the differences between the pre- and postmodern spaces of immersion; not for the purpose of merging current VR into a unified historical discourse, but for examining the issues of difference amongst the various installations, so one could see the continuities and discontinuities between the various periods. Virtual Art is a landmark volume in that it is one of the first to begin placing new media works into a historical framework with a sensitivity to the shifts in expression that are evident from antiquity to the present day. In an era that often considers history to be measured in months or decades, Virtual Art lends a sense of perspective and insight that is sorely needed in new media discourse. As a reference work, the massive bibliography is truly impressive, and is worth the price of the book in itself. However, if there were to be further incarnations of the book, I would love to read more on Modern-era immersive spaces, and have more comparative analysis between the pre- and postmodern while staying firmly in the realm of VR and the panoramic. Perhaps I might seem a bit critical in places, but it is only because the book held my attention for over three hundred pages over a period of three months. Grau has created a volume that will likely be used as a canonical text in the study of virtual reality for some years to come, and will probably not gather much dust on my shelf, as it will be a valuable resource in my further research of the past and present of virtual reality. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome.org is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization and an affiliate of the New Museum of Contemporary Art.
