addiction? Or a literary form?
What are blogs and how can we use them?
How can blogs spread the word in electronic literature and art?
How do blogs help build the community?

| Interactive Introduction to Duchamp |
[16 Aug 2002|04:40pm] |
A succinct, illustrated and animated (Flash) website called Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp has just gone live. If you find the childhood section slow going (I don't), don't miss 1923 (there's a timeline for easy navigation), the year of The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (commonly known as The Large Glass).
The animations of Duchamp's earlier interactive works are a joy, but the explication of The Large Glass is revelation.

| Chapel of the Chimes |
[18 Jun 2002|07:54pm] |
Hi Beanbender's List,
I'm writing to tell you (if you haven't heard) of the Chapel of the Chimes
concert this Friday: a summer solstice celebration Garden of Memory.
It's been a very fun event in the past: musicians are scattered all
over the Chapel, you wander through... It's a great event to bring
kids to - an amazing, labyrinth of a building with all sorts of music
that you can listen to for as long (or short!) as you like, and if you come to
where my group is playing, there will be improvisations in which
kids and adults can join in (or not). We'll supply the toys/instruments.
It's all very informal - and mysterious. Following is the real
press release. There should be more in tomorrow's East Bay Express.
Hope to see you!
Dan Plonsey
=============
New Music Bay Area and Chapel of the Chimes present their magical summer
solstice celebration Garden of Memory: a Columbarium Walk-Through Event at
Chapel of the Chimes, a labyrinthine Julia Morgan-designed columbarium and
mausoleum replete with gardens, fountains, and stained-glass skylights at
4499 Piedmont Ave., next to Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland on Friday, June
21 from 5 to 8 pm. The program features simultaneous performances in
different parts of the building as composers and musicians present a variety
of acoustic and electronic music, installations, and interactive events; the
audience is free to move throughout the building during the performances.
Admission is by sliding scale, $5 - $20. For information, call New Music Bay
Area at (415)563-6355 ex. 3, or write to info@newmusicbayarea.org.

Brenda Hutchinson, Jerry Kuderna, Philip Gelb with Shoko Hikage and Brett Larner,

Garden of Memory offers a unique and personal musical experience to every
listener as he or she wanders freely through this multilevel maze of interior
gardens, alcoves, pools, and antechambers ingeniously designed by Julia
Morgan. Drawing crowds of around eight hundred people each year (including a
large number of children), Garden of Memory has become a favorite summer
solstice celebration for Bay Area audiences.
New Music Bay Area is a nonprofit organization which provides opportunities
and information to composers and performers of new music throughout the Bay
Area. New Music Bay Area is supported by grants from the California Arts
Council and the generosity of its members and donors. Garden of Memory is
supported in part by a Community Partnership Grant from the San Francisco Bay
Area Chapter of American Composers Forum.

| ANNOUNCEMENT OF WTO CLOSURE GOES FROM SYDNEY TO CANADA'S PARLIAMENT |
[28 May 2002|04:02pm] |
Latest in series of WTO pesterings by The Yes Men
On Tuesday, May 21, a representative of the World Trade Organization announced the dissolution of his organization to a shocked but supportive Sydney audience ( http://theyesmen.org/tro/disband.rtf, http://theyesmen.org/tro/cpa.html ). He stated the WTO would reconstitute as a new organization dedicated to assisting the world's poor instead of the rich (http://gatt.org/trastat_e.html).
The bombshell announcement has had worldwide repercussions, sparking debate on the floor of the Canadian Parliament, where MP John Duncan took the floor to ask "what impact this will have on our appeals on lumber, agriculture and other ongoing trade disputes" (http://www.nationalpost.com/home/story.html?f=/stories/20020525/338502.html).
At that point, WTO headquarters in Geneva denounced the "representative" as an impostor. "While we can appreciate [the 'impostors'] sense of humour, we would not wish for reputable news organizations like yours to be counted among those duped."
"It isn't humor this time," said Andy Bichlbaum, who "represented" the WTO in Sydney. "We really do want to dissolve the WTO and rewrite its charter so that the poor benefit rather than suffer from trade policy." The group he belongs to, The Yes Men, have previously represented the WTO at two international conferences ( http://theyesmen.org/wto/, http://theyesmen.org/finland/ ) and on mainstream TV (http://theyesmen.org/tv.html). Each time, they have been invited by people who mistook a Yes Men parody website (http://gatt.org/) for the official WTO site (http://www.wto.org/). The WTO reacted to previous appearances with outrage and attempts to shut GATT.org down.
After overcoming their initial shock, the audience of Australian accountants expressed enthusiasm for the change, and offered many thoughtful suggestions for how world trade could benefit the poor--moving the headquarters from Switzerland to a Third World country, for example.
"I'm as right-wing as the next fellow," said one of the accountants, "but it's time we gave something back to the countries we've been doing so well from."
In past appearances, the Yes Men hoped to horrify audiences by taking free-trade ideas to their logical conclusions. They argued for selling votes to the highest corporate bidder (http://theyesmen.org/wto/ppt/), making the poor "recycle" hamburgers to cure endemic hunger (http://theyesmen.org/hamburger/), allowing countries to commit human rights abuses with a system of "justice vouchers" modelled after pollution vouchers, and even enabling managers to administer electric shocks to sweatshop workers from afar by using a futuristic telepresence technology embedded in a three-foot-long golden phallus (http://theyesmen.org/finland/photos.html).
The joke was on the Yes Men, however, when these proposals failed to shock audiences, who repeatedly found it credible that such ideas would come from the WTO.
Finally, the Yes Men decided to say "no."
"We've already demonstrated that audiences of experts will accept anything whatsoever so long as it comes from the mouth of the WTO," said Mike Bonanno, a Yes Man who helped to prepare the lecture in Sydney. "This time, we decided to use the WTO's authority to lead people on a useful exercise that could actually produce something positive."
"It really is possible to dissolve and remake the WTO," said Bichlbaum. "The WTO, after all, was put together from a bunch of wishful thinking and previous agreements one day in 1994. It can just as quickly and easily be replaced by something much better, based on other agreements--the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, for example."
After the events in Sydney, the Yes Men are even more optimistic. "The accountants offered us all kinds of useful suggestions on how to make sure the new version of the WTO benefits the poor," said Bonanno. "We feel kind of bad for misleading them, but they came up with much better plans for the future than we could. We hope they'll accept our apologies and keep working with us."
