Each day for a year "Superfund365" will visit one toxic site currently active in the Superfund program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We begin the journey in the New York City area and work our way across the country, ending the year in Hawaii. In the end, the archive will consist of 365 visualizations of some of the worst toxic sites in the U.S., roughly a quarter of the total number on the Superfund's National Priorities List (NPL). Along the way, we will conduct video interviews with people involved with or impacted by Superfund.

There are many reasons why waste recyclers find themselves marginalized in global cities. One is that they are not legally recognized as legitimate service providers. In India, we totally lack the imagination to integrate indigenous private service providers with the needs of our expanding cities and simultaneously addressing poverty. Chintan has been working along with other organizations to understand how policy can be inclusive. In the last one year, there have been many global studies, exchanges and research in this regard. To share these global case studies we are organizing a discussion. Venue : Conference Room - III, India International Centre (IIC). Date : 13th September, 2007. Time : 6pm to 9pm. The confirmed speakers are: - Dr. Yamini Gupt: presenting a global study on the Economic Aspects of Informal Sector activity in Solid Waste Management. - Santraj Maurya of Chintan: Santraj, who was notoriously not allowed to board an Alitalia flight, will be talking about the informal sector initiatives and his experiences in Cairo, Egypt. - Bharati Chaturvedi: discussing the global policy experiences about the informal recycling sector. We request your participation in this discussion.

Call for Participation Nurit Bar-Shai, with Rich Miller, Yishay Schwerd, Zach Lieberman and John Schimmel http://turbulence.org/Works/nothingHappens/ OK Center for Contemporary Art: CyberArts 2007 Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, Austria September 6 - October 14, 2007 "Nothing Happens" is a networked online performance in which the viewers work together to make a series of objects tip over. The performance consists of three acts, which are centered on staged environments - a high shelf, a deserted corner, and a cluttered tabletop. Each scene contains a central protagonist, respectively: a cardboard box, a clear pint glass full of water, and a wooden chair. In all three acts, web-enabled physical devices controlled by the viewer's clicks make these objects tip over. In addition, each change is recorded as a snapshot-image, creating not only an archive of the work, but a collective creative result: a stop-motion-animation sequence, in which viewers can browse through the entire history of the performance both during it and after its conclusion. Nothing Happens received a Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention in the Hybrid Art category. "Nothing Happens - a performance in three acts" is a 2005 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with funding from The Greenwall Foundation. Additional support was provided by the OK Center Linz, the Israeli Cultural Foreign Ministry, ITP/NYU and 3rd Ward.

Herzliche Einladung zur Eroeffnung der Ausstellung: PLAZMA Junge Kunst aus Serbien und dem Kosovo / 23. September - 31. Oktober 2007 Eroeffnung: 22. September 2007, 16 Uhr Ausstellungsort: Burghof, Burggraefenroederstr. 2, 61184 Karben Öffnungszeiten: Samstags, Sonntags 14 - 18 Uhr und nach Vereinbarung Im Griechischen bedeutet Plasma (serbisch: Plazma) das Geformte, das Formbare und das Gebilde. In der Physik wird Plasma als Materie im 4. Aggregatzustand verstanden. Außerdem werden Kekse aus Serbien Plazma genannt. Diese Plazmas werden mit Vitaminen und Mineralstoffen angereichert. Sie wurden in Jugoslawien für die Ernährung von Kindern empfohlen und sind auch heute noch in Serbien populär. Die Ausstellung orientiert sich an der Fragestellung, wie die jungen Kunstszenen aus der Region, die eine Generationseinheit bilden und an derselben historisch-aktuellen Problematik orientiert sind, die in jeweils verschiedener Weise erfahrenen Ereignisse und politischen Entwicklungen verarbeiten. Für sie stellen diese Ereignisse und Entwicklungen Kindheitserlebnisse dar. Anhand dieses verbindenden Elements der positiven Kindheitserinnerung an die Kekse wird die Auseinandersetzung der Künstler mit ihrer Kindheit anregt und zugleich Kultur als etwas Formbares gezeigt. Künstler sind Mediatoren zwischen den Kulturen, durch ihre Faehigkeit zu bilden. Fuer Kuenstler beider Regionen stellt die Beruecksichtigung ihrer kulturellen Differenz eine Vorraussetzung für gemeinsame Projekte dar. Eingeladen sind Kuenstlerinnen und Kuenstler aus Serbien und Kosovo, die mit ihren Arbeiten die Formbarkeit kulturellen Ausdrucks untersuchen. Künstler und Künstlerinnen: Ana Adamovic, Jakup Ferri, Flaka Haliti, Jetmir Idrizi, Natasha Kokic, Dren Maliqi, Alban Muja, Kader Muzaqi, Milica Ruzicic, Manuel Schmalstieg, Tomislav Stanko Vukic, Lulzim Zeqiri Die Kuenstler sind anwesend. PLAZMA Young Art from Serbia and Kosovo / 23. September - 31. October 2007 Opening: Saturday, September 22, 2007, 4 pm Exhibition Space: Leonhardi Kulturprojekte, 61184 Karben, Burggraefenroederstr.2 open on saturday and sunday 2-6 pm and on request In Greek, 'plasma' means anything that is shaped and can be shaped, or the shape itself. Plasma is an ionized gas which activates spontaneous emissions in suns and stars; when these are captured in plasma - screens, they give off light of different colours. 'Plazma' is the name of a variety of biscuit made in Serbia. These biscuits were enriched with vitamins to make them especially nutritious. They were used in all spheres of life in Yugoslavia. They are still popular in Serbia today. As in the workshop that took place in Pristina in May 2007, we have formulated some questions that the 'Plazma' exhibition in Frankfurt | Karben is intended to raise: How are young artists from the region, who form a generational unit and are oriented towards the same set of current historical problems, dealing with events and political developments that each group experiences in a different way? For these artists, these events and developments are childhood experiences. By giving the exhibition this metaphorical title, we want to show that this element provides a link between the different works in the way the artists address questions related to their childhoods, and show culture as something that can be shaped. Artists, because of their capacity to shape, are mediators between the cultures. For artists from both regions, an awareness of cultural difference is a precondition of the joint projects we want to promote with the help of the exhibition. We have invited artists from Serbia and Kosova whose works address the question of how forms of cultural expression can be shaped. artists: Ana Adamovic, Jakup Ferri, Flaka Haliti, Jetmir Idrizi, Natasha Kokic, Dren Maliqi, Alban Muja, Kader Muzaqi, Milica Ruzicic, Manuel Schmalstieg, Tomislav Stanko Vukic, Lulzim Zeqiri The artists from Kosovo and Serbia are present.

Focus Session 2: Towards a New Aesthetics of Screen Art in the Urban Environment, Cornerhouse The audiovisual density of urban spaces is rapidly increasing. Adding large scale moving images to the already dynamic cityscape may overstrain the capacity of human perception. What is the definition of 'too much' with regards to moving images in public space? Can people live with an increased amount of activity within urban space? Are there existing moving image formats suitable for display in urban space? Or does the audiovisual density and increased rhythm of the city demand a completely new aesthetics? Moderator Susanne Jaschko (DE) is the curator of Urban Screens Manchester 07. She is a Berlin based independent curator and researcher in contemporary visual and electronic art. Uta Caspary (DE) will throw light upon digital media as ornament in contemporary architecture facades. She looks at how, in the present urban context, media facades oscillate between art, architecture and infotainment, replacing and expanding the function of architectural ornament. Jean-Claude Bustros (CA) engages with cinema that transcends the screen, seeking strategies for human/image interaction. He is currently exploring how the strategic placement of a 'perceptive' screen, capable of reaction, can impact the daily activity of urban dwellers. Media artist Günther Selichar (AT) will present Who's Afraid of Blue, Red and Green?, an online competition and public art project based on the elementary visual building blocks of digital display screens. He looks at how screens have come to the public squares of our cities and re-established the old public space as a possible new public space. Poster Session: Towards a New Aesthetics of Screen Art in the Urban Environment, Cornerhouse Anette Schäfer (DE/UK) director of Trampoline, an organisation that runs regular platform events for new media art, will present examples of artists working with other forms of screen-like interfaces, illustrating alternative usages and formats of screens. Theresa Caruana (UK) established Palmeda in 2005, focusing on creating public art using digital projections and live performance. She will investigate the meaningful integration of urban screens in social environments. Dr Stephen Brennan (UK), Director of Marketing and Strategy of the Digital Hub Development Agency, will exemplify the role of the screen in urban regeneration which can act as a device by which communities can address concerns and ideas.

[Ask the security guard at the main desk in the Tower Building how to get there] [Green Line "E"] Immersed as we are in digital media, we often overlook the centrality of written language in our experience of the world -- not only as the 'content' of digital media, but also in the processes that facilitate it. In digital literature, the written language of code generally operates on several interconnected levels. Though we tend to focus on its role as a container for displayed 'literary' content, code also exists as a static and legible 'text', in addition to its active function as instructions for the computer. Which of these levels is most relevant to our aesthetic experience of digital literature? Can we 'understand' any one level without exploring the others? With these questions in mind, we will present examples from recent work that leverages computational techniques to explore new possibilities in digital literature; from procedural recombinations, to dynamic physical interfaces, to three-dimensional environments for literary experimentation.

Shakti was a friend to many of us, and generous in her support of Caferati. In her memory, we are starting something which we think she'd have approved of: a series of workshops for writers. We have two main sessions planned, and, true to Shakti's irreverent spirit, we also have some light-hearted short interludes in the works as well, all of it interactive and open to—nay, *demanding*—participation, so come prepared to learn, to experiment and to grow. And to have a grand time. *Creative Editing for Creative Writers* This session will be led by Urvashi Butalia and Anita Roy of Zubaan Books. The focus is on fiction writing (rather than poetry or academic), and the worskhop will look at the whole editorial process: preparing your manuscript for submission; things to avoid like the plague; what to expect from your editor (and what not); the difference between the various editorial functions (commissioning, line-editing, structural edit, proofing etc); editing your own work and developing a critical mind and editorial eye. *Indian Poetic Forms* H S Shivaprakash of the Jawaharlal Nehru University will lead the first part of this session. On Caferati, experimentation with poetic form is an old tradition. We have attempted to go beyond the traditional forms that poets in English attempt—sonnets, villanelles, terza rima, pantoums and so on—to follow the example of poets who have attempted forms that have their roots in other languages like the haiku. We have tried, with varying degrees of success, the ghazal, the andhadi, the doha, the kural and so on. We thought it would be interesting to tap into Indian and Asian poetic forms that we are not familiar with, and cannot easily access on the net, and see how this can enrich our writing in English. Prof Shivaprakash will take us through some of his work, and tell us about some Kannada poetic forms, and then throw the room open to questions and interaction. After a short break, Annie Zaidi will moderate a discussion on other Indian poetic forms. You are welcome to bring along any poems that you have written based on an Indian poetic form. *About the workshop leaders* *Urvashi Butalia* is co-founder of Kali for Women, India's first feminist publishing house and now Director of Zubaan , an imprint of Kali. She has been active in the women's movement in India for several years. She writes regularly for newspapers and magazines, and among her published books are the award-winning *The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India*, *Speaking Peace: Women's Voices from Kashmir*(edited), *Women and the Hindu Right: A Collection of Essays * (edited) and several collections of short stories. She has also been on the juries of the Crossword Book Awards and on the Lettre Ulysses award. *Anita Roy* has been an editor for exactly half her life: the first ten in England (with Routledge and then Manchester University Press), and the last eleven in Delhi (with OUP, Dorling Kindersley and currently Zubaan). As an editor, she's worked on a range of books - from academic monographs, travel guides, general non-fiction, and fiction, to children's books. *H S Shivaprakash* is currently Associate Professor, School of Arts and Aesthetics in Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He published collections of poems, *Malebidda Nadalli* (1991) and *Anukshna Charite*(1991) and plays, *Sultan Tippu* (1986), *Mahachaitra* (1990), *Maranayakana Drishtanta*(1991), and *Manteswamy Katha Pasanga *. As a playwright, Shivaprakash has received Satyakama Prashasti (2003). ------------------------------ This workshop series is not for profit.

Ashbery's poems could now appeal to a larger (younger!) audience. And in such a cool way! Poems + TV + Web = Performance. Make your own performance equation at Open Baithak . Perform the word, or just perform. Sign up starts at 6.30pm. Open reading/performance start at 7pm. Each poet/performer gets 5 mins on the stage and is expected to bring in new work every time -- and also to delight the audience by doing risky and innovative things with it. You can read/perform in *any language*. Wheelchair accessible. *Baithak Theme: Love, Lies, Forgetting* Please contact Monica Mody in advance if you have tech needs/questions, or for more info: openbaithak at gmail.com *Special Feature: Video Shorts by Shakti Bhatt (1980-2007) * * * *About Open Baithak:* A new monthly poetry in performance series in Delhi, Open Baithak offers a space for poets to think about new and innovative ways of presenting poetry to audiences, and a test platform for emerging poet performers. It makes a regular meeting place for poets from different linguistic, written and oral traditions. It is also a meeting place for listeners and readers of poetry. It hopes to be a place and a space where together we can make poetry better than the movies. Open Baithak also welcomes artists experimenting with performance as a medium of artistic expression, including performances that draw on literature, visual arts, music, dance, film, technological media, or what have you. *History:* Earlier this year, the British Council Delhi had organized a Spoken Word Series featuring performances and workshops by and Indian poets such as Anjum Hasan, Jeet Thayil, John Hegley, Lemn Sissay, Patience Agbabi and Vivek Narayanan. This culminated in an open mic evening at Sarai, where those of us present felt the necessity for more such spaces, which give an opportunity to poet performers to explore how performance and poetry can be brought together, spaces where words can come alive on the stage through ways and means ranging from music to rhythm to dance and beyond. The first Open Baithak was held at The Attic on May 18 and the second on Aug 23. *Our Sponsor:* We are immensely grateful to the British Council Delhi for giving us the encouragement and financial support to get the series up and running. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

TRIP enables the previously separate worlds of theory and practice to interact, initiating new approaches and energies, and furthering techniques to take on and alter the physical environment. * * Beginning as a reaction to the industrial revolution, the re-imagining of the city by romantics, bohemians, and avant-gardists evolved into a diverse range of strategies, practices and arguments, from the psychogeographic drift or derive to the artistic intervention. By the 1990s these were being utilised by artists, writers, activists, and historians, attempting to negotiate urban and rural space in the post-modern world. But practices developed in the twentieth century encounter a different world in the twenty first - a more observed and policed world on the one hand, a more corporate, globally-connected world on the other. Increasingly the body, social, individual and political, is the site of contradictory demands - the demands to consume versus the demands of control. * * TRIP will be based at Manchester Metropolitan University, on the city's main southerly corridor, Oxford Road. But we want events to take place throughout Manchester, in as wide a variety of spaces and venues as possible. Like many northern cities, Manchester is changing fast. Perhaps you want to critique the implications of "regeneration", or perhaps you want to stimulate new ways of engaging with an increasingly consumerised environment. Maybe you're passionate about the possibilities of inventive walking and drifting, or maybe you're a performance artist aiming to change the energy of a public space. Wherever you're coming from, TRIP wants to hear from you with your ideas. *To submit a paper*, you should send an abstract outlining your subject and the key points of your presentation. *To submit an idea for an intervention, performance or a walk* involving members of the public, please outline in one paragraph the aims and ideal locations for your project. *To submit an idea for a gallery-based project*, please outline in one paragraph the thinking behind your installation or work.. Please try to keep your paragraphs to a maximum of 200 words. And don't forget your contact details. Deadline for submissions: *October 1^st 2007*. Submissions should be emailed to: TRIP at mmu.ac.uk *(*and for further information on festival announcements, walks, talks and events, then please access our blog-space, which will be updated regularly at : *http://trip2008.wordpress.com/* The festival proceedings will be fully documented and recorded, and an edited volume of essays, art and photography will be published at a later date.** From turbulence at turbulence.org Fri Sep 21 02:47:27 2007 From: turbulence at turbulence.org (Turbulence) Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 17:17:27 -0400 Subject: [Announcements] Interview: Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller Message-ID: <011a01c7fbcb$a5e85c70$f1b91550$@org> Interview: Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller by Peter Traub Networked_Music_Review: http://turbulence.org/networked_music_review September 20, 2007 Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller create multimedia pieces that combine aspects of sculpture, cinema, sound installation, and short-story fiction. Installations such as "The Paradise Institute" (2001) use forced perspective and a three-dimensional sound track to create the illusion that one is sitting in a large theater. Their 'sound walks' and 'video walks' are immersive pieces that use common consumer technologies, such as iPods and video cameras, to create experiences that blur the line between experienced reality and narrative fiction. Their works are exhibited internationally; their exhibit "The Killing Machine and other stories" will arrive at the Miami Art Museum on October 15, 2007.

Do urban screens suit a presentation of elaborate artistic content or will entertainment win over art? These questions along with many others will be addressed on day two of the conference, accompanied by two inspiring screenings from the art & events programme. Read on... Focus Session: Curating Screen Art for an Urban and Architectural Context, Cornerhouse Moderator Mike Stubbs (UK) is Director of FACT in Liverpool. His own internationally commissioned artwork includes media installations and large-scale projections for public environments. He will lead the discussion on the role that curators and new media experts could play in the conception of media facades and other urban screens. At present, many existing urban screens lack the comprehensive sophistication that allows exploration of spatial, architectural or medial potentials. Sylvia Kouvali (GR) is the initiator and curator of Yama, the first international space for publicising contemporary art in Turkey that opened in July 2007. Based on this experience, Kouvali will present a dialogue on how democratic or populist the content of the imposing and omnipresent screen can be and how much one can really show in public. Michelle Kasprzak (CA/UK) is a curator, writer, and artist. She argues that presenting artwork on urban screens comes with a special set of considerations, challenges, and advantages that are unique to that context. Kasprzak will examine the opportunities that are opened up to artists and curators within this emerging format. Dooeun Choi (KR) is the curator at Art Center Nabi which opened in 2000 as the first media art centre in Seoul, Korea. She will introduce COMO, an extended media platform located in the centre. Since 2004, the LED displays have been known as a unique multi-media installation which integrates art and architecture to create a new convergence. The focus is not on the outcomes but the creative energy emerging from free and imaginative human communication. Otherworldly & Best of Transmedia, All screens Curated by Michelle Kasprzak, Otherworldly premiered on the public screen at Federation Square, Melbourne, and features contributions by artists that take viewers on a journey through spaces that are at once familiar and alien. Best of Transmedia is a programme for which artists produced moving-image work that is very short (often a minute or less), and that could be sandwiched between advertisements. But as with most limitations, the condition of using urban screens as a platform fosters innovative work. Communication <--> Spaces, All Saints Dooeun Choi has curated Communication <--> Spaces, a time-based visual poem and collaboration between the Korean motion graphics designer Weong-Woong Cheong and artist Bill Seaman. The work poetically explores notions of the space of communication, underlined by traditional Korean music and experimental dance music.

Journalists from the following countries are entitled to apply to attend the workshop: China, Nepal, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and India. The South Asia Water & Sanitation Programme is sponsoring participants from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Workshop will be held at the Manesar Heritage Resort, about an hour outside New Delhi, from 29-31 October 2007. This year's UNDP Human Development Report (HDR) looks at the impact that Climate Change will have on poor and vulnerable communities. As you will be aware as a journalist who covers Climate Change, there is a renewed focus in the media throughout the world with the release of the Reports of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) over the past few months. The aim of this Media Workshop is to create a pool of well informed reporters in selected Asian countries who would be able to report on the findings of this year's HDR when UNDP launches it at the end of November 2007 – the global launch is in Brazil on 27 November 2007. We would also offer this select group of reporters early access to HDR 2007 materials, but these will strictly be subject to a publication embargo. A concept note on the Workshop and the tentative Agenda is attached. We invite journalists to apply to attend the workshop. Kindly send a two-page CV and scanned files of at least two print articles (if they are in languages other than English, kindly send a synopsis of each, clearly citing the publication and date of publication). Journalists working on the electronic media should send a treatment/synopsis of the story/feature, also citing exact broadcast/telecast dates. The Workshop will be conducted in English and while we welcome journalists working in local language publications/channels they should be proficient in English. All airfares, travel within India, accommodation and meals will be covered by the organisers. UNDP and SDC are organizing two short field trips in India before the workshop, where participants will be able to learn about the human impact of Climate Change first-hand and strategies adopted to cope with the impact. Selected participants are invited to apply for either of these trips, details of which will be sent after a journalist is selected. Please send your expression of interest to Workshop Consultant darryldmonte at gmail.com by 30 September. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Expert agencies have given no permission to the constructions on the riverbed, yet they are going on at a full pace. The youth, especially the students of Delhi University have decided to take up the cause. Are you aware that in our city we are losing 60 million years Old River forever just for a 9 days event in this city? Are you aware that all expert bodies have denied permission to construct on the Yamuna riverbed? Are you aware that the Govt. has never explored any alternative site for the Games village? Why is Govt. so bent upon constructing Games Village on the riverbed? Are you aware that the initial budget for holding Games in Delhi was Rs1700crore and now it is 23,000 crores? Are you aware that in the Games winning bid to Commonwealth Games Federation, the terms and conditions stipulated that the Games Village would be given for university accommodation after the Games are over? Whereas, now Govt. has allowed the builder to sell flats to public at cost of Rs. 2 crores per flat. Can you smell a scam at cost of our natural heritage and a misuse of sentiments associated with students and sports? Complete water table of city will GO DRY because of concretization of river… The site itself is flood prone, lies in seismic zone – IV and is most vulnerable to natural disasters like earthquake.. Some youths on 18th Sept barged into Delhi Assembly and sought answer to these questions during the last day of Monsoon session. They were taken into custody. Why did the youth go this extent in a manner as Shahid Bhagat Singh did for independence of country? A youth march shall be organized at Delhi University tomorrow on 28th Sept.. The venue is Vivekananda Statue, Arts Faculty, Delhi University. Most of the colleges and departments of north campus will participate in the march.

The report is about the mining company(Crew Minerals) and they are planning to start the Nickel mining project in Mindoro, one of the Island of Philippines. If they start mining, one of the indigenous group will be displaced from there and the local government also against the company. They broadcasted the news based on our visual and from the next day the share market of that mining company has down. And as a Fredeskorpset participant this is our last month.
