REPORT ON SIGGRAPH
For the very first time, most of the Montreal ISEA HQ was present at the
SIGGRAPH Conference held in Orlando, Florida, from July 19-24.
We were pleased to see some of our members who presented their works in the
TOUCHWARE Gallery:
Muriel Magenta Token City: Subway Wall
Hans E. Dehlinger b97.9.3 and with left and right boundaries
Madge Gleeson Replica
Joel Slayton C5
ARTSITE:
Annette Weintraub Pedestrian: Walking as Meditation and the Lure of
Everyday Objects
http://www.turbulence.org/works/pedestrian/intro.html
In the past years, the space reserved to the electronic arts was minimal,
they have decided this year to centralize the TOUCHWARE Gallery, allowing
the initiated and non-initiated to discover the works. There was a lot of
renown artists involved in the exhibition, Maurice Benayoun, winner of the
Golden Nica in the interactive art category, presented his "World skin"
project, and Elaine Brechin her "Windgrass" interactive installation.
It is also a tradition for the ISEA to hold a meeting at SIGGRAPH, we
planned ours for the Thursday. Around 15 people attended the meeting where
the HQ staff reported on the activities and answered the many questions
regarding the ISEA98 Symposium. We really appreciate these face to face
meetings, it allows us to inform ourselves, get an idea of what the
membership thinks and wishes for the future. We learn a lot from these
precious exchange that are too rare for a virtual community....

a parternship event
To give expression to the oft voiced desire to change the traditional
format of the symposia, to synergize ISEA with other international events
and to spread the network to underrepresented countries, ISEA is opening a
new path through its 1999 collaborative project with Brazil. The São Paulo
based ITAU cultural center, organizer of a national electronic arts
festival, has invited ISEA and the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the
Interactive Arts (CAiiA; Wales, Great-Britain) to join in partnership for
the organization of an international conference on art and technology.
INVENCAO - thinking the millenium- will take place in São Paulo, August
9-13 1999.

**REPORT FROM SIGGRAPH**
ISEA HQ at SIGGRAPH98
Maria N.Stukoff
For the past few years ISEA held an informal, yet lively public meeting at
Siggraph to exchange and inform on ISEA's goals and discuss up-coming ISEA
symposiums and events. This year the ISEA meeting was organized by the ISEA
HQ, located in Montreal, Canada. For the first time the ISEA administration
has an active staff to organize public meetings to inform and promote
ISEA's changing role in the international network of organizations which
support electronic art practices.
The meeting was scheduled to provide information on the isea98 symposium in
Liverpool and Manchester and our new organizational structure which had, in
the weeks leading up to Siggraph, been asks to be clarified. Important for
the ISEA HQ was to highlight that the Montreal team independently develops
projects and events in collaboration with local, national and international
partners to bring together a dynamic network of organizations and
individuals to communicate and exchange on new developments and ideas in
the field of art and technology. In addition the ISEA HQ was enthusiastic
to promote the isea98 web cast project which is taking place during the
isea98 symposium in collaboration with our Montreal partners and invite
participants to join the lively exchange between the cities on-line.
The ISEA meeting started off with the jubilation of one visitor who finally
found the missing link in his equation to make sense of all the
technological displays and industry presentations at Siggraph. He was very
thankful to see that ISEA is an organization committed to support and
promote artists working with new media technologies and host a symposium
with a focus on education, research and practice. The following discussion
surrounding ISEA concentrated on how the ISEA HQ should become an open
window for the wider network individuals interested in art and technology
and act as a center for diffusion and exchange.
Over the years ISEA has witnessed an growing interest by Siggraph
participants to know more about the ISEA organization seen as dynamic
affiliation to bring together the graphic design and technology industry
with the artistic profession. Although Siggraph presented a very small
dynamic program of electronic art works, the emphasis however on art, the
artists and their place in the development of technological interfaces and
application was still left unexplored and left a feeling of spectacle
rather than professional artistic research and practice. Discussions will
now take place to involve ISEA in the Siggraph organization and possibly
collaborate in curating or shaping artistic programs and exhibitions.

http://www.kulturserver.de
Kulturserver is a noncommercial online community for artists, institutions
and people interested in culture.
Artists and institutions are presenting their work with their own
homepages. Those pages can be built with the help of a newly developed
online-editor software. No prior experience is necessary. A calendar
provides information about what's going on in the region. Events
listed in the calender are inserted by the artists and institutions themselves.
Kulturserver TV
In a self-produced interactive show, Kulturserver TV is introducing art
from all fields. It is broadcasted regularly via the Internet.
Discussions
about culture and related topics are held in the chat rooms.
To create a steadily growing information pool, Kulturserver builds a
network of independent writers and publishes cultural reportages and
critics in an online magazine.
Kulturserver provides information on festivals, grants and sponsorship
within the respective art fields.
The community
Kulturserver is a selfgenerating community. Artists are responsible for its
shape and content.
In letting them create their own self-presentations (homepages) by
themselves they become citizens of their net culture village.
Kulturserver
offers them a theme-orientated navigationsystem where they can place their
presentation and exchange information and experience with people sharing
same interests.
Many artists still don't have great experience in building their own
Internet presentations. Designing and hosting Homepages are usualy related
to contracts, money or experience.
Publishing and reading in Kulturserver is without any charge, thereby
offering anybody the possibility to use the internet as contemporary
information and communication system. Instead of beeing a world wide system
like the internet itself, the community here is based in a certain region,
so artists and culturaly interseted people can actualy go to see events,
meet and work with the people beyond the Internet.
Kulturserver has been developed by the Ponton European Media Art Lab
(www.ponton.de) and is initialy financed by the Ministry of Science and
Culture and Lower Saxony. It is based in Lower Saxony and is online since
February 1998.

INVENCAO
thinking the next millenium
A conference presented by the ITAU Cultural Institutein collaboration with
CAiiA-STAR, ISEA, LEONARDO
Invencao is an opportunity for those working at the creative edge of the
arts, sciences and technology to collaborate in the transdisciplinary
development of ideas and innovative strategies for life in the next
millenium. Invencao is a "seeding" event that seeks to identify key
questions and issues that can lead to the radical transformation of
culture. Just as increasingly artists work with the metaphors of science,
so scientist are employing forms of representation, such as visualisation,
which owe much to research in the digital arts. As art is transformed by
interactivity, so science increasingly recognises the subjectivity of the
observer. In turn, technology informs our aesthetic and epistemological
structures and is engendering new processes of perception, communication
and cognition.
Invencao will examine the consequences of this convergence of art, science
and technology on our sense of self and human identity, on consciousness,
community and the city, as well as on learning and leisure. For example,
the artist is challenged to consider what might lie beyond "electronic
art": where might the connectivity of the Internet, the interactivity of
hypermedia and the fluidity of virtual reality lead us? The scientist ,
walking a delicate balance between the world of the quantum, deep space,
chaos and complexity has profound questions to ask about the constraints of
nature and the part that can be played by artificial intelligence and
post-biological systems in the construction of reality. Bio-technology and
nano-engineering add further dimensions to these questions. Invencao will
take place in Brazil, whose euphoric energy, cultural diversity and
productive optimism is intended to characterise the conference. With its
history of dynamic pragmatism coupled with utopian vision, Brazil is a
country where dreams can be reclaimed, a vast space both geographically and
culturally, in which we can re-invent ourselves and collaborate in the
construction of new realities. Invencao will be structured to enable a wide
range of presentations, collaborations and interventions to take place,
involving lectures, workshops, panel discussions, poster sessions and
breakout groups. The onsite activity will be integrated with online
activity. through a dedicated website. The proceedings will be embodied in
CD and print publications
*This event is produced by ITAU Cultural Institute in collaboration with
the ISEA, Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts, and CAiiA-STAR, Centre
for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts, University of Wales College,
Newport and the Centre for Science Technology and Art Research, University
of Plymouth, UK, and Leonardo.

IN VIOLENCE
-A man who belongs to this race must stand up on the high place with
gibberish in his mouth and rip out his entrails. It is right and just,
because he must! And anything that falls short of this frightening
spectacle, anything less shuddering, less terrifying, less mad, less
intoxicated, less contaminating, is not art. The rest is counterfeit. The
rest is human. The rest belongs to life and lifelessness.-
H. Miller The Tropic of Cancer
Academia is inadequate. Cultural studies is complacent.
Is violence understood?
Is the understanding of violence simply its taming?
parallax wishes not to speak of violence, but to operate IN VIOLENCE.
parallax invites papers which attack, grapple with, perform, enact, explore
and celebrate violence - being IN VIOLENCE.
Issue 15 of parallax seeks to do violence, asking:
How can there be an ethical privileging of peace when the imposition of
peace comes with the destruction of its others and the violent eradication
of a prior violence?
Is violence the lesser evil?
In a peaceful situation, when did or does the violence end?
Is peace the central metaphor of violence?
Why should we give peace a chance?
Without violence, whither pleasure?
parallax also invites poetry, original artwork, and translations.
Abstracts, proposals, submissions etc. should be sent to the editors at
either address by Friday 29th January 1999

Shrinking Worlds
Islands and Global Climate Change: An Internet Arts Project
A huge question mark hangs over the world. Have we changed the planet's
weather systems? Do we face a future of global warming, of sea level
changes, and an increase in cyclones and other weather extremes? This is
of concern to everyone, but especially those who are surrounded by sea.
How do people living on small islands and atolls feel about this strange
new future - a future which they may have had little part in creating --
but must live with on a daily basis?
Shrinking Worlds will use the Internet to bring together the
thoughts,images and words of island peoples in a time of global
uncertainty. To respond to climate change we must at the same time think
about the ways in which we are interconnected - now and in the past. While
global weather cycles and ocean currents draw the world into a single
integrated system, electronic communication offers another mode of global
interconnectedness -with the potential to overcome the isolation that may
be a part of island life in the modern world.
We are calling for contributions from artists and writers who live on
islands around the world: works which say something about issues of
climate change - and the changing forms of interconnectivity in today's
world - and what this might mean to island people. The work will be
displayed on the Shrinking Worlds website.
The work featured need not engage directly or explicitly with the issues
in question - it may approach them from any angle. Neither do the works
have to be complete and stand-alone. Just as ecological systems bring many
small elements into a larger whole, so too do communication networks enable
fragments and strands to meet and fuse into new forms. New works are
welcome - but so too can existing pieces or sections of other works be put
to new uses. Alongside visual arts, we are interested in poetry, song,
prose and sound pieces. We are hoping to provide a site where diverse
works enter into new conversations and exchanges.
Shrinking Worlds is being curated by Nigel Clark and administered by the
Physics Room.
We are relying on the circulation and display of this message to reach
people in places often bypassed by mainstream cultural flows and exchanges,
so please forward it to people or groups who may be interested. For
further information contact Nigel Clark: 21 King Street, Grey Lynn,
Auckland, New Zealand, telephone: 64 9 378 4108,< n.clark@auckland.ac.nz>
The deadline for submissions is August 31, 1998.
Nigel Clark is a sociologist who also works in the arts. He lectures at
the University of Auckland. The Physics Room
<http://www.physicsroom.org.nz/> is a non-profit organization based in
Christchurch, Aotearoa/New Zealand which promotes links between the arts
and other critical areas of cultural production. It receives major funding
from Creative New Zealand.

4. [Call for Proposals]
CBC/TBC
The Banff Centre and CBC announce
$10,000 fund for development of new media projects
BANFF, Alberta. The Banff Centre for the Arts and CBC Newsworld's Rough
Cuts are committing $10,000 ($5,000 each) to finance the development for up
to two new media projects by Canadian producers in 1998. Representatives
for both organizations made the joint-venture announcement today during a
seminar at the19th annual Banff Television Festival.
The new partners issued a call for proposals from Canadian producers who
are eager to apply emerging digital technology to the craft of documentary
making and interactive new media.
"As we enter the 21st Century, the way we are producing information is
changing," says Tony Burman, head of CBC Newsworld. "We realize that to
maintain our reputation for programming excellence we have to keep pace
with, if not stay ahead of, technology. This development fund is just one
way we can continue to provide our viewers with quality, leading-edge
coverage of Canadian issues."
"We welcome the opportunity to work with a broadcaster that has
consistently strong, innovative and smart programs that push the creative
and informative boundaries of documentary production in Canada," says Sara
Diamond, Executive Producer, Television and New Media/Artistic Director,
Media and Visual Arts at The Banff Centre.

9. [Call for participation]
The media arts lab in the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin is organising a
meeting of net artists, theorists, curators and netizens on the topic of
net - art - world: reception strategies and problems
Date: October 16th to 18th 1998
We appreciate your ideas and proposals for discussions, lectures and
workshops. Please send us your abstracts (not more than 300 words) as soon
as possible.
Deadline 16th of August. We are looking forward to it.
Concept and general thoughts:
The Net developed a secondary presence a long time ago, such that it became
a symbol for modernity and social reality for people who do not participate
actively in the net culture. In public debates, TV serials, films and print
media a mythic image emerges, where the Internet seems to be the
battlefield of intelligence services and porno mafia, military forces and
conspiracy theorists fighting over the hegemony of the computer screens.
Netart as critical reflection of the medium of the Internet needs direct
knowledge of the technical and social conventions. Like high-technology it
demands of its audience a basic knowledge about specialized problems and
technical conditions which is absolutely necessary to understand and
estimate its solutions, doubts and proposals. This lets the insiders appear
to be the ideal public for netart. It is tempting to produce art for
artists and to stay among oneselves. The sphere of netart becomes a
parallel universe.
That is how netart gets in a paradoxical situation: An ever-growing
audience without knowledge of the technological basics, and the artists
with their relationship to innovation and to the electronic parallel
culture, do not come together; sometimes it seems, the public is a symbol
for the developments of blind consumerism, which netart is opposed to.
Between the difficulties of mediation and the claims for effect, aesthetic
radicality and social relevance we are automatically confronted with the
question of the transitions between the netart-world and the outer world as
an characteristic of the medium. How can we reconcile or shape these
transitions?
This question gets even more important when we look at netart from the
perspective of the conventional, not electronically-mediated art world. The
conventional art scene -- not only since the context critique in the art of
the 80s -- experienced an internal critique of its own operating system.
Its elaborate marketing and reception systems promise -- apart from
economical chances -- also a well developed quality evaluation and
practical mechanisms how art and society can permeate. Considering the
technological race over the economical utilization of the Internet -- its
commercialization and its information overflow -- the consideration to
present netart to the selective publicity of the art world suggests itself.
Netart could have multifold profit from a tighter union with the gallery
system, the exhibitions and the institutionalized critique of the art
system. Vice versa it is nessecary to encourage conventional art to
meditate more profundly about its technological environment. It needs a
deeper reflection on technological innovation in order to understand,
examine and criticize the future formation of the society.
One question is what are the claims of both camps towards the relationship
between the two still - in most parts - divided spheres.
The problem can be discussed from the perspectives of production, mediation
and reception policies.
+ production: which artistic strategies are developed regarding these
contadictory requirements? How do the producers/artist react to this
problem? Do certain critical traditions of netculture lead to certain
limited publicities? What does a broader net-unspecific public mean for
project development and planning? It does not get one very far to explain
the net over and over again. To work for an inner circle, which knows what
one wants to say, limits the range of people who can participate and can
lead to a conceptional stagnation. What part does an net-unspecific
aesthetic, with its broader autonomous possibilities for netart play?
+ mediation: how do you exhibit netart? Until now one could see two
proposals: on the one hand the introduction of the working process as seen
at the "open x" at the ars electronica in Linz or the "hybrid workspace" at
the documenta X in Kassel; on the other hand the presentation of the work
of art as in the netart corner at the documenta X. The first form of
presentation confronts us with the same problems as the festival
phenomenon: people who know each other's work anyway meet to have a good
time together. The mediation is superseded by a fair event. The producers
talk with each other about their work. An audience from outside exists just
marginally. The latter form (exhibiting computer screens in a museum) asks
the question: What is a work of art? The pixel on the screen? The idea,
that maybe nobody understands outside of the net? Further questions
regarding mediation are: What is the role of institutions and curatorial
instances? What channels of distribution are nessecary? Does the lack of
curatorial evaluation do harm or is it an advantage? Is there a lack of an
(independent) critical public?
+ reception: on which conditions is netart received? What demands are made
on the conditions of reception? In what degree has the viewer to be an
user? Are forms of consumption possible and desirable, where the recipient
leaves and overcomes the desktop situation of the classical computer
workplace? How realistic is the alleged freedom of the network situation?
Does free access to the net bring this de-hierachizing freedom, which is
commonly believed to be an integral part of the net? Is it nessecary to
design the situation of reception in a community-enhancing way? How does
one cope with inexperienced users? Thesis: in addition to the ordinary
considerations on exhibition didactics it is necessary to think of more
targeted preparations and reactions to the conditions of the exhibition.
These are some questions, that arose from our reflections on the topic. The
symposium is meant to offer proposals and solutions through lectures,
discussions and practical workshops. We want to get artists, net.theorists,
museum scientists, art historians, gallerists and the audience together to
develop new strategies for netart.

WRITERS & THE INTERNET
The First trAce Writers' Conference
http://trace.ntu.ac.uk
http://152.71.0.105/eastm/launch.htm
Friday 16 October 1998
The Broadway Media Centre, Nottingham, England
The internet offers great opportunities for writers. There are fascinating
new forms of writing to be discovered; interesting people to meet, and
swathes of research material to be mined. But it also brings concerns.
Authors are worried about copyright and intellectual property. They are
wondering how they can earn money from working online. They fear that The
Book may be dying.
This conference brings together an international group of professional
authors and educators with extensive experience of the internet to address
some of these anxieties and provide informed opinion about the potential of
the net for the artistic community.
Keynote Speaker
Digital Arts: Breaking The Boundaries Through Online Authorship - DALE SPENDER
Socrates framed one of the fundamental objections to writing; it was
"one-way", it fixed ideas, it required readers simply to follow someone
else's argument - which is why he would put nothing in writing. But even
Socrates would change his mind if he could be an online author. For online
writing is two way, it engages readers to forge their own meanings, and to
become a new generation of writers in the process.
Hypertext, Web Publishing and Virtual Narrativity - MARK AMERIKA
In this presentation, Mark Amerika will trace his most recent research and
development focusing on the similarities and differences between novel
writing, hypertext authoring, journal publishing and digital art curation.
Discussing issues such as online networking, copyleftism, and
pla(y)giarism, Amerika will showcase both his GRAMMATRON project and the
Alt-X Online Network.
Reading with Others, Writing in Time - CYNTHIA HAYNES & JAN RUNE
HOLMEVIK
In recent years technology has enabled interactivity in exciting ways. At
Lingua MOO writers can build a virtual space using only words, and work
together in real time with others around the world. When texts are
interactive, new modes of teaching and learning quickly evolve. Lingua MOO
is also host to the online headquarters of the trAce
International Online Writing Community.
New Ways to Write
Confirmed to date: Novelist Keith Brookes, editor of Infinity Plus and
journalist Lizzie Bailey.Authors who write on and about the net discuss the
potential of this new creative form.
Online Copyright: Problems & Issues
A panel discussion featuring Heather Rosenblatt, Legal Adviser for the
Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society plus authors Dale Spender and
Mark Amerika.
Plenary
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

DEAF98 - The Art of the Accident
Rotterdam/NL, 17 - 29 November 1998
The Dutch Electronic Art Festival is a bi-annual international and
interdisciplinary event that deals with the inter-relations between art,
technology and society. Under the title 'The Art of the Accident', DEAF98
deals with concepts of time and space, and with their significance for the
organisation of real and virtual environments. It does this from the
perspective of the accident, of friction and rupture which are necessary
elements of any technical reality. The festival inquires how complex social
relations, individual actions and new forms of identity, take shape at the
intersection between the technical and social reality.
*Programme Elements
DEAF98 consists of several elements:
- the DEAF98 Exhibition of electronic media art works (main locations V2
and the Netherlands Photo Institute, and several special locations, incl.
the MSR Harbour Simulator)
- the transArchitecture 03 Exhibition (at the Netherlands Architecture
Institute)
- the DEAF98 Symposium (an international two-day conference with artists,
architects, theorists, sociologists and scientists, on 20/21 November)
- the DEAF98 Publication (an extensive illustrated book about 'The Art of
the Accident')
- presentations, panel discussions and workshops (incl. the premiere
presentation of the first international Nettime publication)
- music and sound art performances (in cooperation with Nighttown)
- Future Moves (a festival devoted to media and dance, coordinated by
Lantaren/Venster, 17-22 November)
DEAF98 is realised in cooperation with several national and international
partner organisations, incl. the Ars Electronica Center, Linz/Austria; the
Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe/Germany; and the
Inter-Communication Center, Tokyo/Japan.
*Tickets
Ticket prices for the different programme elements vary. Exact prices are
yet to be fixed. Reservations for the Symposium, presentations and
performances will be advised as soon as the programmes and participants
have been confirmed.
*Further Information
More detailled information about the festival programme will be made public
as soon as possible. You can stay up to date by subscribing to the V2
mailing list through the website, URL: http://www.v2.nl - just follow the
'mailing list' links.

practice. It will be held concurrently with Common Ground, the annual
conference of the NYS Alliance for Arts Education, which this year is
featuring a track on media literacy. VIDEO HISTORY: MAKING CONNECTIONS is
intended to build a better understanding of the media field, to explore
issues of media preservation and the teaching of media and media history,
to locate and link media history resource materials, and to connect those
in the field with a broader group of cultural and social institutions.
Conference registration information will be in the mail the last week of
August. Information concerning the registration and an updated list of
speakers and participants will be posted to the Video History website at
http://VideoHistory.Alfred.edu. Please join us.
