ENGINEERING CULTURE: ON ?THE AUTHOR AS (DIGITAL) PRODUCER¹

Social change does not simply result from resistance to the existing set of
conditions but from adapting and transforming the technical apparatus
itself. Walter Benjamin in his essay ?The Author as Producer', written in
1934, recommends that the ?cultural producer¹ intervene in the production
process in the manner of an engineer. The term ?engineer¹ is to be taken
broadly to refer to technical and cultural activity, through the application
of knowledge for the management, control and use of power. To act as an
engineer in this sense, is to use power productively to bring about change
and for public utility. This collection of essays and examples of
contemporary cultural practices asks if this general line of thinking
retains relevance for cultural production at this point in time - when
activities of production, consumption and circulation operate through
complex global networks served by information technologies.

Subject: NAR announcements

http://netartreview.net

In this message:
1) News
2) List of Weekly Features
3) list of monthly Features

1)News:
Net Art Review in the process of collaboration now has four Contributing
Editors:
Ana Boa-Ventura --Contributing Editor (Austin, TX, US)
Molly Hankwitz -- Contributing Editor (Brisbane, AU/San Francisco, US)
Lora McPhail -- Contributing Editor (Los Angeles, CA, US)
Eduardo Navas -- Contributing Editor (Los Angeles/San Diego, CA, US)

NAR would like to thank Lora McPhail for doing a great job as Editor in
Chief for the last year and a half. We have switched to the format of four
contributing writers to be efficient under different circumstances. We hope
to bring our readers a better interface and even more diverse content in the
near future.

As always NAR offer daily announcements and recommendations as well as news,
so drop by often.


2)Weekly Features:
For the last two months or so, Molly Hankwitz has been editing a series of
Weekly Features focusing on Art and Mobile Tech:

http://netartreview.net/weeklyFeatures/2005_05_08_archive.html
NAR REVIEW: BLAST THEORY
BY: Ana Boa-Ventura

GPS and other mobile devices are questioning in an unprecedented way
conceptual splits between the 'real' and on-screen spaces. 'Mixed reality'
is the term used to designate this new art and research field where reality
and the virtual are connected through mostly mobile and wireless
technologies.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT::

URBAN TAPESTRIES
Experimenting with Urban Space and ICTs

Techniques of Collaboration
Urban Tapestries focuses on asynchronous human interactions in the urban
environment, developing a layer of wireless communications to support the
sharing of 'social knowledge'. A key aspect of our collaboration has been
monthly day-long meetings where the core team has assembled together to
brainstorm and bodystorm key issues and ideas.

oveJACKETS and FLICKR PEEP SHOW
BY::Mark R Hancock

Our wireless, networked world of alone-yet-together in the Ethernet, begs
many different questions about what this new way of being means. How will
businesses create new ways of generating revenue? How will media companies
sell their output to us? What will be the future of print media?


http://netartreview.net/weeklyFeatures/2005_05_22_archive.html
ARTISTS AND MAPPING:Situationism and Locative Media
BY:: Ana Boa-Ventura

The Situationists were no different from the Dadaists and the Surrealists in
their desire to suppress art. Art and culture should be part of everyday
life, and it is an interesting component of recent art, that the
Situationist International is often associated with emerging locative media,
ubiquitous computing and urban life.


http://netartreview.net/weeklyFeatures/2005_05_29_archive.html
PROJECT::Netzfunk
BY: Ignacio Nieto

Netzfunk grupo de personas que trabaja el arte del silencio, está
produciendo en Santiago de Chile, hasta finales de Junio, un taller de
tecnologías suaves para el postgrado de Estética de la Universidad de Chile.
El objetivo principal del taller es transgredir la mirada apolítica que se
tiene sobre objetos tecnológicos, alterando su utilidad funcional a una
discursividad política.


OTHER*PROJECTS::Mobile Research and the Asian Space
BY::Molly Hankwitz

Cross cultural collaboration drives much of the compelling creative
communications in Oceania and Southeast Asia. Networked art plays between
national spaces and is recognized with great interest for this reason.
Projects such as Fibreculture, Multimedia Arts Asia Pacific and Seoul 'Media
City' link artists, theorists, researchers and cultural policy-makers from
the disparate geographies. The degree, however, to which net artists can
play any role in the development of 'communications' networks is an area of
art and technology (despite low-budget 'wi fi')that remains to be seen.

ART AND MOBILE TECH::PROJECTS REVIEW::

Speakers Corner Revisited or Sound and Free Speech in the City
BY::Ana Boa-Ventura

Its authors call it a mobile sculpture. One Free Minute
relies on a sculptural object that looks like one of those tabletop vintage
record players. This project is about public discourse, and the ways in
which it has been affected by technology. It turns the private world of the
cell phone up on its head, and adds an element of 'free speech'. The first
performance date: Friday June 3, 5-7PM EST, at the Oval of the Ohio State
University.

FEATURE.REVIEW: Blogtalk DownUnder
BY Mark R. Hancock

The proliferation of blogs over the past few years has been incredible. Most
people who have an Internet connection know at least one person who authors
a blog, or they, themselves, maintain and write one. In a few short years,
blogs topics have covered the gamut from pregnancy to hypertext theory .

FEATURE.INTERVIEW:
Ignacio Nieto Interviews Simon Schiessl

Simon Schiessl: My work is mainly about physical objects. I am not so much
interested in working within the medium "computer" - It is more about
generating complex installations in which data processing is just one part
among others. In most of my pieces I try to avoid standard user interfaces:
the 3:4 computer screen; mouse; keyboard; and, including underlying
operating systems, as I feel limited by them. In fact, I don't like personal
computers, but I do like circuits.

FEATURE.REVIEW:
Action = to activate the image
BY Ana Valdés

Actions are based on response and collaboration. The action includes the
process - the joining of the elements and the events that take place, and
the result - the work of art including its encounter with the participants
and/or audience, and its connection to the original situation, the source of
the work.

n an ongoing collaboration, this month NAR features another .PDF originally
published in a minima:: No.11, a media and contemporary art publication
based in Spain. This month Ana Vujanovic interviews Igor Stromajer.
