EDITORIAL
The number of people who have access to the Internet is rapidly increasing.
Here in Holland, suddenly everybody has an E-mail address.
This is great news!
This Newsletter appears both in an electronic shape via the net and in a hard
copy version. Since the hard copy travels from the editors to the designers
at Grafico de Poost then back to us, after which the copying, labelling and
mailing have to be done, hard copies are received by the readers over a week
later than the electronic version. Since many announcements come in just
after the last Newsletter appeared, quick delivery is essential if
announcements are to be current.
Also, airmailing costs the Inter-Society much more than E-mailing.
So, for both reasons, IT IS IMPORTANT YOU INFORM US OF YOUR EMAIL
ADDRESS AS SOON AS YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
The Dutch branch of ISEA (ISEA-NL) is constructing a WWW site for ISEA. The
address will be in the next Newsletter. We also hope to inform you about the
plans we have with this site.

DEUXIEME MANIFESTATION INTERNATIONALE VIDEO et ART ELECTRONIQUE
in association with ISEA 95
September 19 - 25 1995, Montreal, Canada
In 1995 the Manifestation will be associated with ISEA 95, the 6th
International Symposium on Electronic Art (September 17-24).
The Manifestation is organized by Champs Libre, an interdisciplinary art
center, "whose thoughts have as objectives to propose events that put us in
touch with the new technologies and actual practices in contemporary art."
Another statement: "The vivid evolution of technological culture in today's
society establishes a new dominant discourse which, by the priority that
it accords to the economic 'virtues' of the new technologies marginalize too
often the voices of those who participate in a non-economic but ecological
linked vision which unites humanity to its technical environment."
"A current preoccupation for Champ Libre rests in relocating video within the
larger framework of electronic arts. The 'Deuxieme Manifestation' will take
into account such preoccupations by prsenting an international program as
well as a selection of single channel works from Canada and Quebec, thematic
conferences, a space for encounters between artists and audiences,
installations, a video-on-demand library, a documentation center, an
educational section for youths, and a cafe."
There is a Call for Videos. Deadline June 1st.

13th WORLD WIDE VIDEO FESTIVAL
April 27 - 30 1995, The Hague, Holland
"Watching the rapid development of electronic media like the Internet, CD-Rom
and CD-i, it sometimes seems as if the medium has indeed become the message.
(...) Video has defenitely proven itself as an important medium both for and
in art. So what about all these new media? That's a question the 13th World
Wide Video Festival means to address. (...) What do they contribute to the
electronic landscape and what, if any, conceptual value do they add to it?".
100 Videotapes (with the artist present whenever possible), Lectures by
Michael Saup, George Snow, Laurent Mignonneau, Christa Sommerer, Symposium on
digital image culture, Installations by Keith Piper, Jose Antonio
Hernandez-Diez, Max Almy & Teri Yarbrow, Klaus von Bruch, Erik Nerinckx,
Egbert Mittelstadt.
Draft proposals for installations will be shown as part of the ongoing
project The Imaginary Reality. This project was initiated by the World Wide
Video Centre and aims at stimulating the use of video and computer in the
conceptualization phase of video installations.

W H A T ' S N E W ON LEONARDO WWW
Leonardo Announces 1994 New Horizons Award for Innovation
Kitsou Dubois, Choreographer
The 1994 Leonardo New Horizons Award for Innovation has been awarded to
French choreographer Kitsou Dubois for her research on weightlessness and how
the dancer's experience can aid astronauts in adapting to microgravity.
Dubois has been developing a new training system, based on dance techniques,
for improving the physical consciousnesss of astronauts as a complement to
existing astronaut-training methods. Ms Dubois has incorporated her research
results into the choreography for a number of dance works.
Ms. Dubois has also worked in the field of dance and psychiatry, as well as
in theatre, dance education, film and fashion design.
Ms. Dubois has documented her work involving dance and weightlessness in
Leonardo, the Journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and
Technology, Vol. 27. No. 1 (1994) pp. 57-64.

NETWORK EXHIBITIONS ON THE WWW AND THE INTERNET GALLERY.
CMP Senior Curator Edward Earle develops Internet projects with
artists and educators.
In the Gallery: UCR/CMP announces the first photography gallery devoted to
"surfing the Net." The Internet Gallery offers the public an opportunity to
explore World Wide Web arts projects via a dedicated high speed
telecommunications system. The Internet's World Wide Web allows for
transmission of image, text, and limited sound and video. In addition to
the Museum's own Internet projects, photography and contemporary art
activities across the broad expanse of the Web are accessible in the
gallery. The Internet is quickly beginning to mimic society as a whole,
complete with haves and have-nots; the UCR/CMP Internet Gallery provides a
unique opportunity to explore the future, today. Instead of just reading
about the "Information Superhighway, visitors can test drive a fast
Internet connection and explore arts resources internationally.
On the Net: the Museum has been working on Internet based projects since
1993. Through an equipment donation from Apple Computer's Apple Library of
Tomorrow program, Senior Curator Edward W. Earle has been developing a
series of Network Exhibitions offering access to both historical photographs
and newly commissioned projects by contemporary artists.
The Museum's system is now serving about 8,000 visitors a month from 45
countries. Additionally, the Museum is working with a consortium of Los
Angeles area schools to allow access to high resolution images from
historical photographs. By integrating history, contemporary art and
digital imaging, the UCR/CMP is working to use new technologies to create
new communities. Museum's World Wide Web site can be found on the Internet
at: http://cmp1.ucr.edu
NETWORK EXHIBITIONS on World Wide Web
The California Museum of Photography, University of California, Riverside
is happy to announce the expansion of its NETWORK EXHIBITION project.
Digital image files as exhibitions on Internet were first presented in the
summer 1993, on the UC/Riverside Gopher server. The Museum has now installed
a World Wide Web server in the CMP Collections with the help of a grant from
Apple Computer through the Apple Library of Tomorrow program and through
telecommunications support from the University's Department of Computing and
Communications, with additional hard disk support from MicroNet Technology.

PROFESSOR PIERRE LEVY
Professor Pierre Levy, author of Collective Intelligence.
By Josephine Grieve.
Lecture: thursday 20 april at 17:00 at the Netherlands Design Institute,
Keizersgracht 609, 1017 DS Amsterdam.
RSVP telephone to Mimona Mouhdad 31-20-5516500, fax 31-20-6201031
Pierre Levy is one of the most exciting intellectuals to have emerged from
the worldwide knowledge economy. He says of his lecture: The mapping of
virtualisation has never been so urgent. Virtualisation began with the birth
of the human race- languages, techniques, religions - and is not just a
recent development linked to digital technology. At this moment, there is a
marked acceleration of virtualisation - of bodies, of economy and of society.
Virtuality has always been the dynamic part of human reality. Therefore
contemporary choices are not between reality and virtuality but among various
kinds of virtualisation processesS. In his presentation, Pierre Levy,
Professor of Information and Communication Sciences at the University of
Paris at St Denis, will propose ways to map these processes of virtualisation
in the contemporary context with reference to the history of virtualisation.
An expert in the knowledge economy, artificial intelligence, cognitive
science, culture and the digital revolution, Pierre Levy, has written
numerous books including Intelligence Collective, pour une anthropologie du
cyberspace (Paris 1994) and Les Arbres de Connaissance (Paris 1992). Levy
co-founded TRIVIUM, a software company that develops and sells Trees of
Knowledge, interactive and dynamic maps of the knowledge skills and
communication systems of a community.
The lecture will be in English.
