1. Electrosmog: Deep Local and remote technologies (Zita Joyce) Hi Zita, when I think Deep Local I think First Peoples and I think Underground/Sub Culture, both tend to exist on some kind of periphery all the while with some kind of surface presence and usually deliver something unique to their communities. I would like to contribute to this as one who knows something of these fields, however I may be over committed on those dates already...during the daytime in NZ at least.

The event is based in the Netherlands, at De Balie centre for culture and Politics in Amsterdam, and we're trying to coordinate some New Zealand participation in debates that synch up with our timezone. Participation will be online - streams, second life, chat channels etc, and I'll update on that next week when it's clearer. One of the most relevant of the discussion themes for us is 'Deep Local', and it would be great to have some input from you guys about it - ideas, examples, and thoughts all welcome... below is the summary of the session as it is on the programme website so far, but in practice there will be a strong emphasis on how remote technologies may enable people (us?) to engage deeply with our local (in its various dimensions), while remaining part of the world. Obviously this is something I think we are pretty expert at here in Aotearoa... So, I'm really interested in any examples of yourselves or anyone else you can think of (in NZ or anywhere in the world) who works the local and the global in interesting ways. This can be much broader than media arts practice. I'm also interested in any ideas of what the 'local' is, and whether travelling and participating in the 'world' makes it harder or easier to be 'deep local'. + anything else this makes you think of! I still don't really understand how this discussion will work within electrosmog itself, and what scope for actually talking there will be, so let me know if you want to try to be a talky part of it, otherwise I'll try to distill some ideas and thoughts from the list into the discussion myself. Thanks! zita FRIDAY MARCH 19 Deep local and remote technologies 21.00 ? 23.00 CET (GMT+1) [I actually think this is wrong - it's supposed to be Friday evening nz time, but there is some schedule tweaking going on] What does it mean to become Deep Local (again)? How can we reconnect to the local, without giving up the rest of the world and without burning up the last remaining carbon-hydrates? Is going local a solution for the global energy and mobility crisis? Can we reconnect the remote by means of the new networking and communication technologies without ravaging the environment? Can traditional life-styles be accommodated with global connectivity? Or is a no-tech scenario the only option? Is that scenario still possible?

If you fancy some guerilla gardening and other urban nature interventions you can register a wee project here: http://uwac.anewfuckingwilderness.com It's really focused on New York, Berlin, and London, but I reckon we can add some wilderness of our own to the mix... best zita Urban Wilderness Action Center ? Jon Cohrs, Kai-Oi Jay Yung, and Eyebeam Online linkup between New York, London, Berlin, Amsterdam and elsewhere will take place at 21.00 CET (GMT+1). Follow live updates from each city on Twitter at #UWAClive from 15.00 ? 24.00 CET (GMT+1). The Urban Wilderness Action Center (UWAC) is a project initiated by Eyebeam alum Jon Cohrs, in collaboration with the Eyebeam Student Residents (New York), Eyebeam Education Coordinator Stephanie Pereira, and UK-based artist Kai-Oi Jay Yung (UK). The UWAC project includes a web platform uwac.anewfuckingwilderness.com and a day of action where people from NYC, Berlin, and London will work together to design and disseminate specific guerrilla gardening projects and related urban interventions. During the link up local results of the project will be presented and discussed between the participating cities. http://uwac.anewfuckingwilderness.com http://eyebeam.org/events/electrosmog-festival-urban-wilderness-action-c enter ----------------------------------------------- This email may be confidential and subject to legal privilege, it may not reflect the views of the University of Canterbury, and it is not guaranteed to be virus free.
