POCHA NOSTRA LAUNCHES NEW SUPER-CHINGON ETHNO-TECHNO ART SITE
www.pochanostra.com
"Ethno-Techno Art for the New Millennium"
According to unknown Tijuana art critic, "It's a
bizarre hybrid of techno-performance, border rave art,
arte conceptual chicano, humour and theory, that will
blow your pinche minds."
Created by a decentered team of cyber-designers from
California, Mexico City, Dartmouth and Barcelona,
under the artistic direction of Guillermo Gomez-Pena
and Kari Hensley, the site includes:
* Info. detailing who Pocha Nostra is and what we do
(a mission statement, project descriptions, bios, and
lots of photos). In "current projects," you'll find
flash animation with descriptions of our
interdisciplinary projects. I.e, clicking on "Califas
2000" you'll see a wild mini-movie with images from
our "rock-tronic Spanglish opera" and hear music from
the actual production.
*Curated by Pocha Nostra staff, the current "Artist
Projects" include, "The Culture Vultures" Gallery
created by Cybrid Rene Garcia, "Grafica Popular" by
Paola Goytortua from Mexico City (check out the
section of Mexican erotic comix), and "Mexotica"
created by the Hopkins Center of Dartmouth University
in collaboration with Gomez-Pena. "Mexotica" is
conceptually based on our infamous "Museum of
Fetishized Identities" interactive performance. Here,
the user is able to create his/her own version of a
high-tech multi-ethnic paper doll and experiment with
hybrid identities and cultural projections. It's puro
"pop reverse anthropology."
* Our on-line Library contains literary archives
including: essays, performance texts, manifestos,
press coverage, a bibliography and videography.
*"Pocha News" our frequently updated e-zine includes
announcements, quotes and news.
* The "Quicktime movie of the month" is a sort of
mini-video festival which presents a selection of our
"Video Graffitis" in-progress.
Like our work, like "the other America" we represent,
the site is constantly changing, expanding and
redefining itself.
Flash animation is required; (if the user does not
already have Flash, the intro page will direct him/her
to a site to download it). Enjoy!
Design team includes: Gomez-Pena, Kari Hensley,
Gabriel Solano, Christian Liang, Carolina Humphries,
and Rachel Pearson. We are constantly looking for
adventurous interns. For more info. please write to

In Leah Gilliam's Agenda for a Landscape, the gallery becomes an abandoned NASA command center showcasing computer manipulated footage of Mars, obtained by the Sojourner Rover (Remotely Operated Vehicular Robot) in NASA's 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission, combined with Gilliam's own video work and other found imagery. By creating an entirely new Martian landscape, Gilliam raises questions about telerobotic technology and the authenticity of information that is disseminated over time and space.
Organized by Mark Tribe, Rhizome.org, in collaboration with Anne Ellegood, Associate Curator, New Museum of Contemporary Art.
Zenith Media Lounge is a digital and media arts technology collaboration with Zenith Electronics Corporation. Zenith Media Lounge exhibitions and public programs are supported by the Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts.

Rhizome.org Launches Revamped Web Site
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 26, 2002
Rhizome.org Launches Revamped Web Site
Announces New Features and Enhanced Functionality
NEW YORK, NY, June 26, 2002 Rhizome.org, an online community focused on
new media art, announced today that it has redesigned its web site and
added several new web site features, including a global new media art
Calendar, Opportunity Listings, and a Community Directory.
The redesign and expansion are intended to make the site easier to navigate
and more useful to Rhizome.org members. Informed by two member surveys and
a focus group, the revamped site is part of Rhizome.org's strategic plan to
achieve long-term sustainability through community growth, community-based
revenue and scalable efficiency.
Highlights of the new site:
Calendar: http://rhizome.org/calendar
A significant percentage of the world's new media art events are already
announced on Rhizome.org's email lists. This new feature makes these
announcements accessible on the web via a familiar calendar interface and
allows members to post events via email or a web-based form.
Opportunity Listings: http://rhizome.org/opportunities
Similar to the Calendar, members can now both post and access new media art
opportunities -- such as jobs, grants, residencies, commissions, festivals,
conferences, and calls for papers -- on the Rhizome.org web site.
Opportunities are organized chronologically.
Community Directory
Each Rhizome.org member can now create a page on the Rhizome.org web site
that includes, at the member's discretion, contact information, a
biographical statement, an image and a resume. The Community Directory also
displays a list of members who are currently logged on to the web site.
Alphabetical lists of all members and member search functions are in
development.
"The new web site will be much more useful for our members around the world
and an essential resource for the new media art community," said Mark
Tribe, Founder and Executive Director of Rhizome.org. "For example, a
Korean museum curator could use our existing ArtBase to find Spanish
artists for an exhibition in Seoul, look up the artists' email addresses in
the Community Directory, and announce the opening reception in the Calendar."
Rhizome.org is a New York nonprofit organization that provides an online
platform for the global new media art community. Founded in 1996,
Rhizome.org serves as a grass-roots community center for new media artists,
curators, students, educators, writers and enthusiasts. Rhizome.org's
programs support the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of
contemporary art that engages new technologies in significant ways.
Rhizome.org takes its name from the botanical term for an underground stem
that connects plants into living networks, a metaphor for the
organization's non-hierarchical structure. Widely considered to be the
world's leading online resource for and about new media artists and their
work, Rhizome.org connects, supports, and educates the new media art
community and the public through cost-free programs including email-based
discussion groups and publications, online archives for new media art works
and writings, a new media calendar and opportunity listings, a community
directory, a new media art commissioning program, outreach events, and an
international internship program.
Rhizome.org has 12,500 members in 118 countries. The Rhizome.org web site
receives six million hits each month, representing 50,000 unique visitors.
The Rhizome.org text archive (TextBase) contains 2,500 articles, while its
art archive (ArtBase) contains 650 works of new media art.
