MAGAZINE:::::::::::: PARACHUTE

³How should the interface between cognition and consciousness, or between perception and mind, be called? This, our second issue devoted to theextra-human and cognitive spheres, explores such territory of thought, whichremains largely uncharted (see PARACHUTE 119 X human ­ AI).What are the reasons for this contemporary turn towards the discovery ofphenomena related to being and the consciousness of the world? How is one tonegotiate a place or a territory for the self in this techno-bio invasion?How does the present experience of the world enrich the consciousness ofself, the consciousness of the other, and the world in which we exist? How,on the other hand, is one to struggle against the annihilation of the selfwhich this sensory and cognitive tidal wave occasionally imposes?² (exerpt from Chantal Pontbriand¹s editorial)

LEKTROLAB is a Media Art Company organized as a platform run by Emma Davidson and Paul B. Davis and based in London.

'We are successful in creating a progressive and non-critical learning environment and reverse negative gender stereotypes within our workshops often associated with electronic and audio arts.'


INFORMATION MESSAGE SENT BY rHIZOME.org :

> The Britain-based media arts collective, Lektrolab, is best known for> teaching how-to workshops on hacking Nintendo cartridges and manipulating> outmoded home electronics. So it's no surprise that their new project,> Microtel, also involves breathing life into dying living room technology--in> this case, the neglected aesthetic of teletext. The system was invented in> England, in the 1970s, to stream text and graphics to analog television sets.> Its vivid cathode colors and signature clunky graphics became the visual> language of up-to-the-minute news bulletins and awkward advertisements before> being replaced by newer text displays. Coming to the medium's rescue,> Lektrolab recently posted an open call for teletext art on their website.> They are compiling the submissions and, beginning January 26th, broadcasting> them on Netherlands public television in conjunction with Rotterdam's 35th> International Film Festival. The Microtel website has images of the> submissions that have co!> me in, thus far, and everything one needs to participate, including the> software to make a teletext masterpiece. - Bill Hanley

NTTIC::::POSSIBLE FUTURES / JAPANESE POSTWAR ART & TECHNOLOGY

The 25 december 006 is the end of the Possible Futures, the panoramic exhibition that have organized the NTT Internationalcommunication Center. Once again the NTTIC proposes a real prospective and innovative exhibition on new technology, communication, and networks.



redirect txt from NTTIC
This year, the sixtieth since the end of World War II, provides many occasions for reflecting upon our history. During the postwar years, Japan has successfully rebuilt its economy largely through policies emphasizing the development of new technologies; the result is the material abundance we enjoy today. During those years, progress in science and technology also directly benefited the lives of people in general. The excitement of trying out new imaging and audio media and of successfully connecting - whether by radio or over the Internet - never palls. Even before the rise of computers, those tools we take for granted today, a host of artists had been keenly interested in technology and in using it as a means of expression. That desire arose from more than curiosity about the new and the satisfactions of consumption; it was driven by the joy of rediscovering the familiar world, of seeing time and space in new and lively ways. This exhibition both offers a retrospective of those artists' many and varied experiments using technology and presents recent work in this vein by Japanese artists. The exhibition thus offers a valuable opportunity to engage in an interdisciplinary review of postwar art, spanning imaging, sound, and other domains, and to examine the many trends, from industry to the counterculture, that have contributed to the directions in which the artists of today are moving into the future.
