Date: 8.18.04 From: Emily Zimmerman <[email protected]> Subject: Inliquid presents HYPER-RUNT: Online Launch InLiquid.com presents a major new media project, HYPER-RUNT, curated by Ebon Fisher and Emily Zimmerman ONLINE September 3-18, 2004 at www.inliquid.com and ONSITE October 8-14, 2004 at the National Products Building in Old City, Philadelphia. (Philadelphia, August 2004) The nonprofit artist organization, InLiqui.com, is pleased to announce the launch of the the online component of HYPER-RUNT, an exhibit of digital and coceptual art curated by "media breeder," Ebon Fisher and curator, Emily Zimmerman. HYPER-RUNT's online component (September 3-18, 2004), presented at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.inliquid.com">http://www.inliquid.com</a>, will act as a preview to the installation, and will include essays, images, links, and manifestos by the participants. It will be promoted during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival through a guerrilla marketing campaign in Philadelphia and New York with materials featuring the HYPER-RUNT logo and URL. HYPER-RUNT is an exhibition of experimental art projects by an internationally diverse group of artists including Bigtwin, Shawn Brixey, David Brody, Klip Collective, Ken Goldberg, Natalie Jeremijenko, Yael Kanarek, MTAA, Mark Napier, Joseph Nechvatal, neuroTransmitter, and Caterina Verde. For HYPER-RUNT, artists were asked to submit those peculiar projects which rose up out of the creative process and took on an insistent life of their own, either in the studio or in the public arena. These works do not fit snugly in the usual litter of cultural categories. As Ebon Fisher points out, "HYPER-RUNTs raise uneasy questions pertaining to the nature of art in the realm of artificial life forms, media viruses, robot psychology, and inter-species cultures. They flirt with the possibility of a 'post-human' future in which the paradigm of art and civilization gives way to a hyper-biology of emergent processes. A HYPER-RUNT might be seen as an ornery cultural lifeform, an Ã©lan vital, unexpectedly rearing its head in the turmoil brewing between artist, audience, technology, and ecosystem." HYPER-RUNT's installation (October 8-14, 2004) will be the last event to take place at Philadelphia's National Products Building, which is scheduled for reconstruction in November 2004. The National Products building is located at 109-131 N. 2nd Street in Old City Philadelphia. HYPER-RUNT will include technologically based installations, and site-specific works tailored to the spaces of National Products Building. For the week of October 8-14, the National Products Building will be activated by a series of events hosted by Inliquid.com in conjunction with the exhibition, including a screening of the film 'Frames', a documentary about Grahame Weinbrenâ??s piece by the same name, and an evening of immersive media with Klip Collective and musical guests. See www.inliquid.com for a full list of events including dates and times. Curator, Ebon Fisher, was one of the first instructors at MIT's Media Lab during its inception. Since the early 1990s he has been cultivating media organisms through the use of media rituals and "Bionic Codes" in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He ran the Digital Worlds program at the University of Iowa for 3 years, beginning in 1998, and has exhibited and lectured internationally. His digital world, Nervepool, is at HYPERLINK <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nervepool.net">http://www.nervepool.net</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nervepool.net">http://www.nervepool.net</a>. Curator, Emily Zimmerman, has worked with Creative Time in New York as a curatorial assistant to Carol Stakenas, and is currently working as a research assistant on a reader on moving images for Tanya Leighton. Other consultants on the HYPER-RUNT exhibit include Glen Muschio, professor and director of the Digital Media Program at Drexel University. Prior to teaching at Drexel University, Glen had over 20 years experience in corporate communications, legal, community and educational media production.

We need volunteers to come to Union Square, pick up these flyers and distribute them to New Yorkers at subway stops and other key locations throughout the City during rush hour. Between the hours of 4-7pm, there will be an information booth set up near the stairs on the south side of Union Square Park where you can pick these fliers up. At this information booth, we will also have lists of shops, sanctuaries and other spaces where fliers need to be dropped off in the coming days. And don?t forget: 83% of New Yorkers do not want the Republicans to meet in their city. They?re pissed. Many of them will probably want to see the information on these fliers. Some of them will even want to get involved. Please help out. Your participation can really shape this day of action. See you in the streets (and the subway corridors and the community board meetings and the parks).

Indymedia photographers will showcase their work on gallery walls and offer them in a silent fundraising auction; videographers will screen their footage on the five gallery monitors; you can tune into the I-pod installations to hear radio coverage of events, protests and conventions past, and browse through the archives of NYC IMC?s newspaper, The Indypendent. >From August 19 to September 4, the Gigantic Art Space in downtown New York will serve as an Independent Media Infoshop for a public hungry for truth. This will also be a great opportunity to find out how we plan to cover the voices of people on the street during the upcoming Republican National Convention, and most importantly, how you can directly plug in. During the Republican National Convention, the GOP spin machine will make every effort to airbrush the hundreds of thousands of expected protesters out of the happy GOP Convention picture, or worse, paint them as dangerous &!quot;Un-American&!quot; thugs. To facilitate this, they have outfitted the Farleigh Post Office building as the corporate media?s newsroom, and built a bridge from there to Madison Square Garden, so that the corporate press never has to touch the streets. But the NYC Grassroots Media Coalition and the Indymedia Network have a different mission. We will build our own newsroom with the support and resources of our communities and use it to produce a daily newspaper, a daily television show, a 24-hour radio webstream and a website with up-to-the-minute reports and photographs. If you want to know what the people have to say, this is where you need to look. To help showcase this work, the Gigantic Art Space has generously offered independent journalists their gallery. Special presentation: Rick Rowley of Big Noise Films and producer of the documentary, Fourth World War has just returned from Sadr City, Baghdad. He will talk about what we don?t necessarily see in the corporate media regarding Iraq while showing never before seen footage. Having traveled the world and worked with dozens of independent media centers across the globe, he will discuss the importance of independent media in a time of war.

This summer, to celebrate the success of our "Art on the Net" project, we are going to launch a new event called "Project netarts.org." The "Project netarts.org" consists of an Internet Art exhibition, artist essays, theoretical articles, and an online forum. The Exhibition section of the project will feature recent developments in Internet Art and is open to all forms of creative expression that use the Internet as their primary medium. The essays and articles from artists, critics, curators and other contributors, will be featured in the Writings section. The Online Forum is open to everyone who is interested in Internet Art and other hybridized forms of Digital or Media Art that use network technologies. Although this project is primarily focused on the latest developments in the field of Internet Art, we are also very interested in considering contributions that reflect the influence of Internet Art production on the wider fields of Media-Art, Digital Art, curatorial practice, digital pedagogy, and online publishing.

Hovering through an amorphous landscape we begin by observing the mirror images of four animated figures. At once seductive and illusive, these portraits successively expose their most intimate selves through accounts of lost innocence, fear of the unknown, masculine ritual and the mystery of love. Here identity is subject to slippages, distortions, and to filmic alter egos that mimic and echo their subjectsâ?? memory. Horvathâ??s innovative use of pop-up windows create a virtual collage that posit identity as a series of random â??memory actsâ?? but whose inquiry accumulate into a slowly revealing narrative of the human condition.- Celina Jeffery + + + Biography Peter Horvath works in video, sound, photo-based and new media.

Date: 8.17.04 From: jeremy <[email protected]> Subject: life A friend just sent me this HAWKING quote, "I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.– Stephen Hawking" I wanted to see what others had to say about the whole thing. I was surprised. I really disagree with the destructive aspect…. i dont know that viruses are created with intent to destroy. They are an actual act of creation. I think they maybe be intended for subversion, but not destruction. if something gets destroyed, it should be a poor reflection on the maker of the system itself for leaving holes and windows - or, just plainly not taking care or having a respect for the end user of the system. The system needs to be designed to include the most distent end user….. and if it is not, that end user will eventually break the system with the weight of its mind. I think it is part of our nature to subvert systems, to what extent we take that subversion and the way we go about administering our sense of change is a whole other issue. * I cant help but to look at what i just said,.. and see it in a global context,.. and question the ramifications of such a point of view. :) hmmm I will have more to say on this after i devise a way too cook some eggs. -jeremy <a rel="nofollow" href="http://silencematters.com/shhhh/shhhh.html">http://silencematters.com/shhhh/shhhh.html</a> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 11. Date: 8.20.04 From: Lauren Cornell <[email protected]> Subject: Interview with Natalie Jeremijenko by Lauren Cornell. Interview with Natalie Jeremijenko by Lauren Cornell. Wednesday, June 30, 2004, 9:45 pm. The scene: Natalie Jeremijenko enters frantically with her young children, E and Yo, who disperse towards their bedroom. She spots me waiting on a chair in her living room and remembers our interview (³Oh, its Wednesday²). Turning to her roommate, who had let me in, she explains the dilemma of her lost goose. After procuring a flashlight, her roommate headed to the Hudson river to look for it. NJ puts E (6yo) and Yo (4yo) to sleep and we begin the interview over white wine on ice. NJ remains in a state of readiness for the wayward goose by keeping phone in hand. +++ LC: Is it too complicated to explain what happened with the goose? Or, perhaps too traumatic? NJ: One of my robotic geese is at large on the Hudson. We were just goosing: using it to play with and talk to the Canada Geese that live near the garbage pier, at 12th street. But, the robot ran away, or went out of range and is floating around out there–transmitting its POV to no-one–totally out of control. The goose robots are part of my current obsession and project: the OOZ. It¹s a project to rethink the relationship between humans and non-humans institutionalized in contexts like zoos. You know, places where animals are incarcerated, incapacitated, and made dependant. So, all the interesting things that animals do: territorial negotiations, social stratification, courtship? is taken away. Its all chopped food and arranged marriages in places like zoos, or worse, artificial insemination because most of the animals are too depressed to get it up, so to speak. The zoo is one kind of institutionalization we all know– there is also pets or hunting, bestiality ? So the question of the OOZ is whether there is another way of relating, because none of those kinds of institutionalized contexts work particularly well for the animals, or for us, especially if you want to know anything about their complex social functioning. For instance, hunters might get to know their huntees quite well, and surprisingly they do, but the interaction is limited. OOZ is a project to re-think all of that. And it all started out of this fantastic place called De Verbeeling {www.verbeelding.nl] who commissioned a new project? (Yo enters and reports a possible Zombie problem in the bedroom. We discuss possible Zombie deterrents.. Yo stays.) NJ: So, we started with this commission from the De Verbeelding (translation from Dutch: The Imagination) . An interesting place to work at because it is in the newest village in the Netherlands, a mere 30 year old really verdant landscape, reclaimed, as the Dutch will do, from the sea. Build a few dykes, pump out the water, and voila vast new territory: green expanses and, you know, a thoroughly constructed nature. There is no delusion that there is a pristine state to return to, nor any idea of untouched nature, none of those kinds of manufactured hallucinations. The first thing to do - if you want to facilitate positive interaction between urban populations of humans and urban populations of non-humans - is to think about the context, or niche, and designing an environment from a non-humancentric pov. An ooz is a zoo backwards and without cages, right so: what do places that animals and humans cohabit look like? ; can we ensure a quality of life such that the animals willingly inhabit without confinement and coercement? and they like it enough to even tolerate human interaction Verbeelding had already been appropriated by the local population of feral geese as their nesting ground. It was lovely to see the award winning glam architectural structure taken over by the local gaggle of geese. So, the first OOZ interface is there: an interface to facilitate interaction between the geese and the De Verbeelding audience. LC: So, where is the interaction part? NJ: Well, the main interactive interface is this robotic goose that can drive around amongst the geese, follow them, play with them and just, be in there. You drive the robot around from this chair positioned at the back of the pavilion overlooking the lake: when you lean forward, your goose agent leans forward, and when you go to the side, it goes to the side etc. You can talk to the geese as well, through robotic ventriloquism so to speak. You can say ³hello² ³quack² or ³howdoyoudo² or issue these pre-recorded goose words. Then see what the geese do back. You can try all sorts of ways of communicating through proximity, verbal utterances, or through the actuated neck–neck positions turns out to be important if you want to strike up friendly relations. So, there is an experiment behind this– each time you issue an utterance , the robotic goose samples back the response. That is, the video camera in the goose head, records back 2-4 seconds of their response and that uploads to a database. And, you can annotate that : you might say ³I think the goose was saying ³hello² ³ ?..or ³ piss off² , or whatever you think the geese meant. You have this ongoing database that people can interpret– a distributed interpretation of the goose/goose robot creole as it develops. Traditionally, understanding the study of goose language is the activity of an expert: Konrad Lorenz who is the Nobel Prize winning guy who took on geese. But this is a strange way to learn a language– we all understand that you don¹t learn language from the dictionary, from a single person, from a top-down authority. Language is a distributed phenomenon. It depends on shared meaning. The experiment of this project is that we can learn goose(!), but that we can learn it in the distributed, participatory manner that defines what language is. LC: So, that lost goose is precious. NJ: Ooooo yes. about 800 dollars worth of video and circuitry. But this one was called White Cheek (by Yo) and it was rather a nice one. LC: Does the OOZ project only focus on geese, or are you getting inside other animal populations..? NJ: There are many species I would like to interact with. We have built an interface for water striders, designed one for bats and Koalas, and I am studying beavers, bears and elephants ?. thinking about how to facilitate productive interaction between these species. (us and them that is) LC: I didn¹t realize you were currently so involved in OOZ and these other projects over the summer. In talking to you as we set up this meeting, it seemed you had dropped everything to focus on Kurtz. NJ: Not dropped. But, the Kurtz issue is horrible and, well what to do? We did just launch the Kurtz shout-out line today. Have you seen the Anti-terror line? LC: Yes the line to report cases of civil liberty infringement. Its modeled on John Ashcrofts¹ TIPS (and others like it: 1800NYCSAFE) , right? Except the Anti-Terror line is about criticizing the kind of distrust and discriminatory tips they collect, , and the paranoid, acclimate of anxiety that TIPS climate brings on. I like how it attempts to share information, and make isolated cases publicly accumulated and available where TIPS would do the opposite. NJ: Yes - The Kurtz Shout Out line tries to capture the public outcry, literally, around his case. LC: What will you do once you have gathered all the messages on the Anti-terror and Kurtz lines? NJ: We might mix it some with a nice drum and bass beat to make an ambient track. They have also be used in radio and tv documentaries, quoted by the press. The potentials for use are open. For the Anti-terror line, for example, there has been one traditional documentary film. And, as you suggested, we are doing ongoing analysis of the anatomy of antiterrorism attacks. It is one thing just to bemoan civil liberties, but to actually record the banality of what civil liberties infringements are, what are we actually losing and to have a kind of aural evidence for it is another.. Its ready for supporting many cases, films, radio stories or forms of media production that don¹t translate in a text. Its data. And in this case, I think its really interesting that the Kurtz shout-out line can capture the sheer emotions of his persecution, prosecution. You know there is an absolute crisis of confidence in the federal administration. Of course, there is a cynicism and skepticism, but to see it as this brute, inept, bullying you know is a tremendous crisis. While only some people feel authorized to write a letter, many people will just feel ok just to say something, just to say ?this really scares me¹, or ?this is really crazy¹. You know the rant or the performance. To be able to accumulate this does capture the public outcry in a way that might be more vivid than a headcount at a rally/ demonstration, than placards, t-shirts or sloganeering that are otherwise used. LC: So, these lines are produced through the Bureau of Inverse Technology. Are you the Bureau of Inverse Technology now, or are there significant others involved? NJ: It¹s a huge, multi-national network.. LC: Oh, is it really because I know how these collectives work.. NJ: Huge! LC: Right. NJ: Extensive? Unending. LC: Yeah, I run a huge not-for-profit, too, but actually, its largely volunteer run, and everyone involved is enormously busy, so often I am just the director of myself (and everything else). It really is unending.. So, since it is so vast then, how do you account for BIT Activities? NJ: Well we have a Decade Report we are actually coming out with that reveals who is behind the Bureau. And, it talks about why that has all been a bit unclear, you know, why Corporate Art?art produced with a bureaucratic front - has been a response that people have had to the information age: Bureau is not alone RtMark, Etoy, Institute for Applied Autonomy, Critical Art Ensemble, Electronic Disturbance Theater, The Yes Men, bureau of low technology, survival research labs, and various other new media/technology collectives of different sorts. It is not the kind of 70¹s anonymous, collective of Guerilla Girl anonymity they each explore different takes on what authorship and authority are in the information age ? Roommate RE-ENTERS. LC: He¹s goose-less. ( there had been a few phone calls ?. updating Natalie. She is not surprised but visibly disappointed) NJ: Oh - Thank you Robb, for night goose searching. LC: What happened? ROB: Well I went out there and saw many things that weren¹t it. I was watching a piece of wood for a while that I thought might be it, and then a buoy. (Natalie makes plans to go out later) NJ: Right, so for Yes Men and RtMark, they play anonymity in order to facilitate a prankmanship. This is very different from what we are doing, albeit funnier Or ETOY is more rock-band, all wearing the same uniform. A visual thing, a larger brand with consistency. But with the Bureau, its very much the issue of the conditions of production of technological artifacts. There is always a diffused accountability, you are never quite sure who made this or that program, you can never call up and say Joe, I don¹t like your spellchecker, why is the dictionary in microsoft-word so 5th grade, can¹t you use Oxford English? There are always these kind of layers and layers of uncertainty, you never quite know who has done what, nor who is responsible, authorship is diffuse. It is this that motivated the Bureau to use a bureaucratic front. And so, this Decade Report, makes a pointed accountability, as in the end, the only way to counter the bureaucracy is this direct accountability. It doesn¹t mitigate different roles or different ways bureau agents have played into different projects but it seems now is the time to provide accountability for those, because the way to understand bureaucracy is through the people involved. Like Milgram did. And that¹s coming. Soon. ROB: Are faces going to be revealed? NJ: Faces, names, roles ? LC: So you¹ll still put us on hold, but we¹ll know exactly who you are. <Break> LC: I am interested in the new D4PA Weapons project the idea of equipping anyone from pedestrians or protestors with their own surveillance or communication technologies. Things like Bit Rocket that can capture picture of crowds, seems like it could be really useful at a protest where documentation is so important, and always so lacking. Or BIT radio, which transmits news ³break-ins² on established stations Maybe you could an pack an R N C toolkit with these. Or the Bureau should have some lower chain mignons do so. The Bureau is behind D4PA weapons, yes? NJ: Yes, that¹s a Bureau archive. LC: You seem to be kicking off so many projects at the minute. How do you have time for the distribution bit? Getting the word out. Specifically with the lines, which are designed to be so wide-ranging, how will you outreach for them? NJ: Asking people informally to call that kind of propagation through social network is in effect, and that¹s how things really get done. The official press releases and releases while that evokes some interest and has some documentation, it doesn¹t necessarily get the project done. It doesn¹t really get to the East Asian journalist association or the various immigrant groups who you¹d like to have these numbers programmed into their cell phone. LC: Right what about stickers? You could put those up in phone-booths. I¹d help. But I don¹t know if anybody uses phone-booths anymore.. NJ: Stickers would be good. But I like credit cards because how many credit cards do you get sent in the mail with you know ³Your Name Here² and it¹s the idea of one that you don¹t actually keep but that you pass on, again re-enforcing the idea of a social network. Once you have programmed it ( the number) into your cell phone , you can pass it on, its sort of a torch relaying thing? There is this another line in New York and London, by the way, called the Sparrow line.. LC: I didn¹t think there were any sparrows in New York before the Sparrow line your line that asks people to call in with sightings from around the city? NJ: Yes - There are only a few (left). And it¹s interesting because sparrows have co-existed with Western civilization for centuries and centuries I think to quote Macbeth that there are ³there is a special providence in the Fall of the sparrow². If you think of sparrows as canaries, it is a tremendous indictment of contemporary urban environments for this creature, who has co-habited very closely with humans for centuries has disappeared in a sudden catastrophic population decline in the last 8 years, no one can provide any explanations. I would argue that artists, like people can and do generate knowledge. I mean the traditional view is that knowledge is generated by highly disciplined experts in highly credential, proper institutions. Knowledge is a privileged institution. I would beg to differ. Disciplined knowledge can produce some kinds of truth claims, but there is a controversial idea that in fact some questions are better suited to this diverse participation In this case, with what I am a getting a through sparrow line, we¹ll have a better chance of understanding why the sparrow population is declining than all the other EPA-funded scientists because of the sheer statistical variance involved. Getting the speculative explanations, and sightings from a whole bunch of friends who live in New York, is just more information, and more diverse date than they have. so basically, if you see a sparrow you can upload a report. The interesting thing is that in Paris the sparrows are doing fine. In New York and London, they are not. And there are Bureau offices in both cities. L:C: These lines are interesting because of how they riff ideas of participatory democracy. They set up structures that encourage a plurality of voices. At the same time, their structure (built and mediated by an anonymous bureau, display of calls) references the systems of focus groups, news opinion polls or corporate feedback that inaccurately represent people, and distort what free participation, choice or expression could look like. NJ: What really is participation? There is a lot of new media sites and projects that ask you to ³put in your perspective², ³share your experience.², ³what do you think?² "give us your feedback" "fill out this survey, and win a car². In fact, Creative Time did that thing - public input on whether or not the towers of light should go up. It is tremendously problematic to assert art by consensus, that you need to do a survey, or create a consensual committee - - I am very critical of this kind of vague gesture at participatory protocols. Structures of participation are very specific and very political. Vague inclusiveness fails to represent collectives and individuals. What technology does primarily is structure participation. That means who gets to participate, and how, and what they get to talk about or you can have an opinion about, or in how in some way you can be involved is extraordinarily political. It is the political issue of the information age. I would argue, different structures of participation produce radically different information. With Amazon.com you upload your review, you can click people-who-liked-this-book-also-liked/bought, and get other books recommended ! I don¹t want that kind of anonymous, bland inclusive information. it is worse than useless, it doesn't take me anywhere interesting. I want to know who wrote that review, an email address, from Okron Ohio doesn't tell me that. I want to know what you, Lauren Cornell are interested in, what my students are reading, what my chair, curator or mother has read. This is a very structural issue. Participation should not mean bland free-for-alls. LC: So, I didn¹t see the through-line of your interest in human relationship to animals, I have seen that you were interested in giving voice to inanimate objects? NJ: I am interested in agency, which is something that is not just human despite a long philosophical tradition to assert exactly this. It¹s a fundamental political question: how you think about agency. The OOZ project really interests me because it is about addressing "the other", demarcating differences that have political consequences. Subhumans, be they women, aborigines, perverts or animals do not have, or at some points in history, have not had a political voice, have their agency curtailed and controlled through territory, editing or other devices. What is interesting about our relationships to animals is we use exactly the same xenophobic language, the same discursive structures on immigrants as we use for "invasive species". We work out all sorts of things this way: homosexuality was normalized through demonstrating its ubiquity in nonhumans; conversely the opposition to same sex marriage is that people claim "itsnot natural", the same argument that has been used against interracial and cross-cultural marriages. Scientific explanations of animal behavior have political saliency. As the sociologist of science Bruno Latour says: "Nature, far from being an obvious domain of reality, is a way of assembling political order without due process." He, like the OOZ project proposes ending the dichotomy between nature and society, and would also assert in its place a collective incorporating humans and nonhumans. There is a great book on homosexuality in animals if you are interested …. the title is wonderful: "Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity² by an obsessive fellow called Bagemihl. The interesting thing about animals is that they demonstrate that we, and our urban megapolis, are inside nature, not separate or distinct from it. When animals make autonomous choices to inhabit places that we do not recognize as 'natural' they teach us that we actually live in something natural. Take for instance the geese that have taken on the garbage truck parking lot down the block on the Hudson as their nesting ground. They are thriving …. despite every effort to make things impossible for them., cutting the long grasses, paving over any feeding ground, leaking a terrible cocktails of garbage juice?. Yet they survive!! In the OOZ project we can look at animals and see, if we try, models of governance, territory negotiations, and social dynamics like class mobility in geese …. In many ways, animals are a better test of agency than avatars and digital creatures. The animals actually do have character. They do talk back in ways that we haven't coded, predicted nor programmed. We may have mastery and dominion over digital creatures and simulated complexity, but what is interesting is how much we don't have dominion over animals and their(our) actual environment. Despite all the poisons, trapping technologies, urban and structural strategies, NY has as many mice as it does people….. We have not prevailed and instead of killing them we have a lot to learn from them ….. they are data. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Rhizome.org is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization and an affiliate of the New Museum of Contemporary Art.
