A Temporary Media Laboratory for Tactical Media
@ Imagine IC in Amsterdam Southeast
September 12 - 22, 2002

Opening Program: Thursday September 12 18.00 hrs

Imagine IC - Bijlmerplein 1006 - 1008 Amsterdam

Full Program and Workshop descriptions can be found on the Next 5 Minutes

Imagine IC, the new centre for the visual representation of migration and
cultures, is the location for a temporary public media laboratory from
September 12th till 22nd. Open at all times to the wider audience, artists,
campaigners, local and international media makers and activists will develop
and discuss their work for 10 days, hold workshops with local media groups,
present examples, realise live media programs on-line and via radio and tv,
and
execute various projects. This Tactical Media Laboratory (short: TML) will
be
the first of an international series of TMLs, organised in various cities,
and
on different continents.

The Amsterdam TML will focus on the relationship between media and migrant
cultures.
At the heart of our concern is the question who is given a voice in the
contemporary media landscape, and which voices are left out. How can the
individual, as well as the most diverse as possible representation of
cultural
and political groups, make their own voice be heard by media?

Workshops and presentations will run continuously around themes such as:
Virtual Shelter, net.radio and Home-Land Connections, GenderChangers: Women
and
Technology, Migration and Illegality, Wireless Media, and the Power of
Personal
Testimony. The TML is the joint effort of a large number of artists and
media
groups, amongst others: ambient tv, ASCII, De Balie, Harwood, dyne.org, Waag
Society, RAZO, NYU Center for Media, Culture and History, Gender Changers
Academy, expertbase.net, ghetto.ru, Paradox, Salto, and many more.

All of the following workshops and presentations are open to the public, and
are free of charge:

Virtual Shelter
First Public Meeting Thursday Sept 12 14.00-18.00
Midpoint Public Review Thursday Sept 19 18.00-21.00
Final Public Meeting Saturday Sept 21 12.00-16.00

Virtual Shelter is an initiative in which a group of refugees will be
working
on a long term project with Imagine IC, Paradox, and the Amsterdam Tactical
Media Lab to develop an online environment for refugees. This will be a
space
where refugees can network together privately, access vital information and,
on
a more symbolic level, become a space for personal testimony.

Migration and Illegality
How the Schengen Information System Works Friday Sept 20 18.00-21.00
Debate and Discussion Saturday Sept 21 18.00-21.00

How can illegal people tell their own stories while still remaining
"invisible"
to the authorities? What can be done against the systems used to catagories
and
register people, such as Schengen Information System, a huge database in
Strasbourg containing files on illegal immigrants? One presentation will
cover
this Schengen system, while a debate will ask these and other important
questions.

Wireless Networks
Outdoor Wireless Action: Koopavond ZO Thursday Sept 12 18.00-21.00
Outdoor Wireless Action: (Location TBA) Saturday Sept 14 14.00-17.00
Outdoor Wireless Action: Koopavond ZO Thursday Sept 19 18.00-21.00
Outdoor Wireless Action: (Location TBA) Saturday Sept 21 14.00-17.00
Wireless Tech Workshop Sunday Sept 15 @ Imagine IC: Antenna Building
12.00-15.00
Wireless Panel Discussion Sunday Sept 15 15.00-18.00

Several tactical implementations of wireless technology will be experimented
with during this media lab, including mobile public access-points placed in
the
streets during the koopavonds. There will be hands-on workshops (how to
build
your own antenna) and discussions about the risks (legal and otherwise) of
open
access-points.

GenderChangers: Women and Technology
Hardware workshops Every Day 15.00 - 18.00
Basic Audio workshop Tuesday Sept 17 19.00-21.00
Digital Photography workshop Friday Sept 20 19.00-21.00

The GenderChangers Academy will present a series of workshops during the TML
aimed at providing hands-on training for women interested in media
technology.
These workshops will include sessions on recording and streaming audio and
video, on DJing and VJing, and on computer hardware and building your own PC
from parts.

Open Media Studio/Internet Radio and Homeland Connections
Every Evening 20.00-22.00

The Open Media Studio provides a free space for personal expression and
communication, using the internet as the connecting medium. Technical
support
from the ASCII group, RAZO (Radio Zuidoost) and various international guests
will be on hand to make net.radio broadcasts every evening. These broadcasts
operate in connection with the Internet Radio workshop being held at the
RAZO
studios, which aim to connect local radio makers with their home countries.

Expertbase
Everyone is an Expert workshop Pt 1 Tuesday Sept 17 12.00-17.00
Everyone is an Expert workshop Pt 2 Wednesday Sept 18 12.00-17.00

Expertbase is a site for people, who are not found in any commercial or
official databases. A site for people, who are being ignored by vulgar head-
hunters and usually excluded from the labour market -- either because of
their
residence permit status or because of their origins, but in the last
instance
because of their unique abilities and singular qualifications.

NINE
NINE: walk-in studio Saturday Sept 21 12.00-14.00
NINE: walk-in studio Thursday Sept 19 19.00-21.00
NINE: walk-in studio Monday Sept 16 12.00-16.00

In the last year Graham Harwood worked as artist in residence of Waag
Society
at NINE, a storytelling tool. This is a very user-friendly version of
professional multimediaprogrammes: a basic grid of nine images offers room
to
personal stories build from pictures, texts, sounds and videoimages.

"Kingdom of Piracy(KOP)" at Ars Electronica


===========================================
http:// 211.73.224.150
Kingdom of Piracy <KOP>
Online Project
Premiere: Ars Electronica, September 7-12,2002.
http://www.aec.at/kop

Joint Curation: Shu Lea Cheang, Armin Medosch, Yukiko Shikata

Kingdom of Piracy <KOP> is an online, open work space to explore the
free sharing of digital content - often condemned as piracy - as the
net's ultimate art form. Commissioned by the Acer Digital Art Center
[ADAC] in Taiwan for ArtFuture 2002, <KOP> was designed to include
links, objects, ideas, software, commissioned artists' projects,
critical writing and online streaming media events. Hailed as the
first international online exhibition sponsored by Taiwan's computer
giant Acer Group, a pilot website <kop.adac.com.tw> was launched in
December 2001 and presented with a press conference at the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Taipai, Taiwan.

In April 2002 the leadership and direction of ADAC changed. At about
the same time a major anti-piracy initiative was launched in Taiwan.
<KOP> became a politically sensitive issue in Taiwan and by May, the
curatorial and artists' FTP access to the <KOP> server was denied.
By mid-June, <kop.adac.com.tw> was taken offline. ADAC demanded
editorial rights to artists' links and requested a change of the
title, Kingdom of Piracy. The joint curatorial team rejected this
demand and sought ways of preserving the project as both a Taiwanese
initiative and an International online art project. Through the efforts
of ADAC's former director Ray Wang, <KOP> server access at ADAC was
resumed. However, an IP address 211.73.224.150 was assigned, the use
of the domain name is denied.

<KOP> will now be premiered at Ars Electronica, September 7-12,2002.
