La obra de Knowbotic Research, acusada de operaciones de vigilancia no autorizada
R. BOSCO / S. CALDANA
http://www.elpais.es/suple/ciberpais/articulo.html?xref=20020530elpcibtec_8&type=Tes&d_date=20020530&anchor=elpcibtec
Los sistemas de control y las tecnologías de vigilancia se han convertido en uno de los principales temas de debate tras el 11-S, incluso en el arte.
La obra Mind of Concern: Breaking News del colectivo suizo Knowbotic Research, ha sido censurada tras 10 días de exposición en el New Museum de Nueva York.
La obra se basa en un programa que identifica los fallos de seguridad en los servidores de Internet, que en esta ocasión estaba provocadoramente dirigido hacia ONG y organizaciones de activistas antiglobalización, en vez de contra multinacionales.La instalación sigue en el New Museum y en red, pero el programa ha sido desactivado por el proveedor de Internet, bajo la acusación de llevar a cabo operaciones de vigilancia no autorizada.
La obra forma parte de Open_Source Art Hack (OSAH) una exposición presentada en Nueva York por Steve Dietz, conservador de Media Art del Walker Art Center de Minneápolis.
'OSAH quiere reconducir el fenómeno del hacking a su esencia, a través de una serie de artistas que utilizan estas técnicas como una estrategia de resistencia electrónica creativa, y no por su poder destructivo', afirma Dietz.
Muchas de las obras presentes son una respuesta a la psicosis generada por los atentados del 11 de septiembre, como el Carnivore Art Project del grupo RSG, que convierte en una aplicación creativa el programa homónimo del FBI para colarse por Internet. Otras reflexionan sobre la intimidad en la red como Tracenoizer del colectivo LAN, que ofrece al usuario la posibilidad de crearse personalidades alternativas falseando las informaciones que aparecen de él en Internet.

Marisa S. Olson posted this review of Open_Source_Art_Hack to Rhizome on 05.28.02
Currently on view at New York's New Museum of Contemporary Art is
"Open_Source_Art_Hack," a group show of artists poetically conflating
hacking with open-sourcing. There is, already, a bit of a hacker ethos to
open source. The idea that often commercially-valuable, always
laboriously-constructed codes should be openly accessible (openly
modifiable!) by all begs the invention of naughty plots à la Bruce
Sterling's 1993 cult classic, "The Hacker Crackdown." But the artists in
this show are not rerouting police emergency calls to phone-sex lines or
breathing heavily into payphone receivers to rip off Baby Bells. They are
co-opting existing means of surveillance or surveillance-culture
indoctrination to make new comments about life in network
culture. Incidentally, by participating in a major museum show, they are
also helping to launch "hacktivism" into the colloquy of contemporary art...

Gallery9/Walker Art Center (WAC) announces a third round of net art commissions: "Emerging Artists/Emergent Medium: Translocation" (EAEM3). With support from The Jerome Foundation, WAC will commission three new net art projects.
The fee for each commission will be $5,000 plus a budget of up to $4,000 for technical support. A writer will also be commissioned to write a critical essay in relation to the project, and completed commissioned works will be presented as part of a global (translocal?), online exhibition to be presented in February 2003.

In the latest Thingist newsletter, Brian Boucher reports on the May 3 Open_Source_Art_Hack panel, which was moderated by Jenny Marketou and Steve D_IE_tz, with Christian Huebler of Knowbotic Research, Anina Rust of LAN, Bill Brown of Surveillance Camera Players, Adam Hyde of r a d i o q u a l i a, and Alex Galloway of RSG.
"In tribute to Vuk Cosic, Steve Deitz was wearing a Deep Throat ASCII t-shirt, but that was one of the few really happy notes sounded at a panel discussion on the occasion of the opening of open_source_art_hack, the New Museum's latest installation in its Z Media Lounge, organized by Deitz, artist Jenny Marketou, and the Museum's Anne Barlow. The discussion touched on themes of visibility vs. security; the modern American security culture; the question of artists' activist responsibilities in that culture; and, most contentiously, the museum's viability as a forum for exhibition by artists trying to push the boundaries of legality and forge new artistic practices."

"THE THING in collaboration with r a d i o q u a l i a, and Jan Gerber started on May 5, 2002 to build a radio network in NYC using internet audio and miniFM. Initially the network will consist of 2-5 transmitters based around New York. Each of these transmitters will be less than 1W output and will source their audio live from the internet using the Frequency Clock scheduling system. This partly adopts the ethic of microradio as founded by Tetsuo Kogawa where many low powered FM transmitters are coupled to create an effective broadcasting entity that "falls beneath the radar" of the communication authorities. fm.thing.net combines this ethic with that of net.radio which is a relatively new phenomenon focusing on the use of the internet as a carrier signal and is best illustrated by the practices of the Xchange network. By combining the net.radio and microradio we hope to build an efficient radio network in New York that uses the internet as a primary carrier of the audio for re-broadcasting on legal or almost legal microFM broadcasts."

Posted by Jon Ippolito 5.21.02 to Rhizome_Raw. In an inverse way, this strategy mirrors the code-as-language issue that is critical to the debate over privatization of the public domain. See Micz Flor's essay "Hear Me Out" re r a d i o q u a l i a's "Free Radio Linux" project, for example. Ippolito writes:

"Save Internet Radio" was recently posted on Thingist by Wolfgang Staehle. Write your Congressperson today.
Dear Jerrold Nadler:
I am writing you to express my strong fear that the U.S. Copyright Office may
be about to make a decision in the next few weeks that will bankrupt and
effectively destroy the Internet radio industry.
