FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (contact mailto:copyright@rtmark.com )
WHICH IS WHICH? ON THE INTERNET, YOU NEVER CAN TELL
Every day, thousands of people looking for the Internet sites of the ultra- right party in Austria (http://www.fpo.at), a Liberal candidate in Australia ( http://www.realjeff.com ), the Mayor of New York ( http://yesrudy.com ), and a copyright lobbying group ( http://www.grayday.org ) end up very confused.
Each of the sites listed above is a "rogue" -- a nearly identical version of a
"real" site
( http://www.fpoe.at, http://www.jeff.com.au,
http://www.rudyyes.com, and http://www.greyday.org, respectively), altered to
make a political point. The trend may have begun with the http://yesrudy.com
site, which resembles http://rudyes.com so closely that an aide with the
opposing campaign admitted in the New York Times to being misled
(see http://rtmark.com/pressyrd.html and http://rtmark.com/bush.html).
WWW.FPO.AT or www.fpoe.at?
Earlier this week, Austria's third-largest party, which was formed from the leftovers of the Nazi party, was shocked and distressed to find itself extensively and subtly mocked.
The official website of the Freiheitlichen Partei Oesterreichs, which is considered very likely to become part of Austria's government after this Sunday's closely-watched elections, is http://www.fpoe.at/. http://www.fpo.at takes advantage of the fact that in German, the letter "o" with an umlaut can be written either as "o" or "oe"; the "FPO" site looks identical to the official FPOe site, but links directly to more overtly Nazi sites, replaces words like "information" with "propaganda," and makes use of many other instructive replacements.
Like George W. Bush with GWBush.com (see http://rtmark.com/bush.html ), the FPOe is using every legal tactic to shut down the rogue site, including a U.S. copyright suit (the "FPO"'s service provider is American) and appeals to the Austrian Minister of the Interior. But like Bush with the original GWBush.com site, the FPOe has so far been unable to stop this attack on its ideas and intentions.
German-language press about the "FPO" site, from earlier this week, is at:
http://derstandard.at/arc/19990930/84.htm,
http://futurezone.orf.at/futurezone.orf?read=detail&id=4737&tmp=61046,
http://www.politik-digital.de/europa/laender/oesterreich/innenpolitik/fake.shtml.
WWW.REALJEFF.COM or www.jeff.com.au?
(contact mailto:realjeff99@yahoo.com / http://www.liberal.org.au/cgi-bin/mail.cgi )
Australian Liberal candidate Jeff Kennett joins the FPOe and Presidential hopeful George W. Bush in attempting to shut down Internet opposition--in Kennett's case, http://www.realjeff.com, which mocks Kennett's http://www.jeff.com.au.
But Kennett's tactics are quieter than those of the FPOe and Bush. Addr.com ( mailto:info@addr.com ), until three weeks ago the Internet provider of http://www.realjeff.com, suddenly suspended its hosting without explanation, and has ignored repeated inquiries regarding the matter. Also, Kennett's http://www.jeff.com.au now merely defaults to the Liberal Party website, as if to avoid comparison.
WWW.GRAYDAY.ORG or www.greyday.org?
Today, many Internet visitors will visit http://www.grayday.org hoping to learn more about "GreyDay," an annual call for stricter copyright laws for the Web. Last year, the October 1 event was written about in the New York Times, Wired News and the Village Voice.
But whereas http://www.greyday.org calls for more copyright protection, http://www.grayday.org urges visitors to keep the Internet "free from phony copyright laws." Its authors, a team of Silicon Valley software programmers and graphic designers who call themselves Tell-all Computer Programmers & Internet Professionals (TCP/IP), claim to represent "the millions of people who have benefited and will continue to benefit from the free exchange of ideas, the hallmark of the Internet."
There are many other subtle differences between the two sites. Whereas GreyDay.org urges Internet users to imagine "what if" copyright infringement leads to a lack of creativity on the Web, the spoof site implores visitors to imagine "what if there was no WWW... no Internet."
According to TCP/IP spokesperson Cecil Park, "The call for more copyright laws on the Web is especially absurd considering the Web itself was made possible by the copyright-free distribution of the first Web browser [Mosaic] and the most popular Web server software [Apache]."
(The name TCP/IP is a pointed insiders' joke. It stands not only for "Tell-all Computer Programmers & Internet Professionals," but for "Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol," the software at the heart of the Internet that was given away without copyright in 1981 by programmers at the U.S. Government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.)
RTMark ( http://rtmark.com ) uses its limited liability as a corporation to sponsor the sabotage of mass-produced products, and to discuss corporate abuses of the political process. One of RTMark's ultimate aims is to eliminate the principle of limited liability.

RTMark agreed to donate their own URL, http://rtmark.com/, to house the new
WTO site for the next few weeks. All of the usual RTMark content is present
in the new site, though in a somewhat different order than usual.
RTMark has donated websites to the George W. Bush presidential campaign
(formerly http://GWBush.com, now archived at http://rtmark.com/bush.html) and, most
recently,
to New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani ( http://yesrudy.com/ ).
With this newest donation, as with the earlier ones, RTMark hopes to help the beneficiary clarify its efforts and aims, previously presented in a muddy and misleading fashion (at http://www.wto.org/).
WTO Director Mike Moore expressed his enthusiasm for the clarified site:
"I just hope they are as reasonable as we try to be and that we engage in an
intellectual, democratic way without any media terrorism." (Washington Post,
2 November 1999)
Charlene Barshefsky, U.S. Trade Representative to the WTO,
chimed in with an expression of hope:
"The single greatest threat to the
multilateral trade system is the absence of public support." (Financial Times,
11 October 1999)
Happy Millennium Round! RTMark

Subject: [SERBIA]
Memorial Library of Emigrants
Old and New Media as Communication Tools for Translocated
It's a good place to describes translocal interconnections between people, countries, ideas and books, between diaspora and local public, by usage of electronic media.
In the country which was doomed to become Former, in the war and breaking the country up into number of smaller ones, lots of people become translocated: refugees; ones stayed lost between new countries, suddenly not belonging anywhere, unable to visit or even hear/read from old friends, family. Couples in mixed marriages and their children had to search for new identity. The most important for the Library project, and for me personally, are two categories: Children's Room People and Brain Drain.
Two years ago I moved from my parents' home, to live on my own (that was the first time that I realized that I can't carry my library with me). That is very unusual today in Serbia, where a "Children's Room Syndrome" exists: young people, in age from 20 to 40, remain living in their 'children room', and waiting for their parents to die, so they can spread out into living room. There are certainly economical reasons for this: no jobs, no help from the government, housing is not solved. But, even more important reasons are psychological: society is still very traditional, families are strongly bonded together, parents are not raising their children to be independent, ?children? are not capable to take responsibility for their life.
During last 10 years more then 400.000 people left Serbia as Intellectual Gastarbaiters, mostly to Canada, New Zealand, USA and rarely to "Fortress Europe". Those countries are profiting from getting well educated experts for free, but still it?s getting harder to get into them. But, the government is not worried about this Intellectual Genocide. That even seems to suit it: the less educated people are the easier is to manipulate them. There are no attempts to create new jobs, better living conditions, better social policy. Instead, they are making situation even worse, introducing even more restrictive Law Against University and new taxes for unmarried people. My generation is now faced with duality of being Emigrants /Immigrants, depends on what side of the border we are.
The majority of young people that left were building their education and personality on - books. The books were the ones that had to abandon together with the country, left with parents or friends, laying forgotten in the attics and cellars. The importance of possessing books for me is: to have them available for re-reading and refreshing ideas that I picked up from them; being able to lend them to people that I care about; creating an image of myself out of the list of my favorite books; as an escape from: poisonous media blockade, turbo-culture, and anti-utopist reality? For all these functions, I don't have to keep books myself -- they can be in the Library.
Memorial Library of Emigrants can collect all abandoned books and save them from being lost, destroyed, having them available to help people who are left: to educate them and encourage them. It will help keeping track of books and people, making small circles/networks/collectives based on their affiliation towards (same) books, and by keeping details of donor?s and readers contact data. It will be the monument of criticism of reasons for emigrations, and pointer of quality and quantity of emigrants.
Library will be composed from three parts: real - a physical home for abandoned books and a meeting place for people who love them; spiritual - the memory of the people who left and spirits of writers, readers? and all ideas that are in the books; virtual - community connected with Internet services.
Physical version of the Library will have all the classic facilities: lending, copying, and exchanging? It will be a place to read books that can?t be taken away. It will have a tea-room for discussions and meeting people, and the part with the access to the computers and Internet. The translocated people are invited to leave their books - or at least one - in the Library. Each book will bare the donor's name, in the special ex-libris. Books can be given to the Library as gifts, or just borrowed and remains the personal possession of the donor, and will be given back on demand. Borrowing books from the Library is for free. The concept of membership still exists, but just for the records. Entrance fee is existing and is - one book a year.
In the digital part, the most important is the database. It will contain data about people: personal data, contact address (e-mail, www?), some "historical" details, list of given books, and data about books: all the details (title, writer, publisher, dates?), who gave it to the library and when, who was reading it, what other books were reading people who read that book, comments? The main models for this database structure are Who Is Where - database of engineers from ETF Belgrade, and Amazon.com.
By searching this database, donors and members will be able to get in contact with each other, with old friends, with readers? Second important part is Internet facilities. Library's server should be able to offer web based free personal email, home for homeless homepages, chat, discussion lists, mailing lists, database search and update from the Net. The Library can take part in the growing action of publishing electronic books.
Since the all activities of the Library are going to be non-profit, there will be a need for funding them. Expenses such as: adequate space, running costs, equipment, employees? will be covered by some sponsors. Employees can be students of librarian studies, or pensioners. At the beginning it would be impossible to gather enough books just from individual donors, so other institutions would be asked for help: funds, libraries, publishing houses, rich ex-Yugoslavs, cultural centers, ex-yu clubs, student organizations. The venue of the Library appears as an another problem: I was considering Belgrade, Petnica Science Center, Amsterdam or even traveling (mobile) Library. For examples I was using: Hippies' Libraries in Kathmandu, described by Stevan Pesic; Walking Libraries in "Fahrenheit 451", Ray Bradbury?
Internet is already widely used to connect people from Post-Yugoslavia, providing different things to them: basic communication, media coverage, help in activism & civil disobedience, e-ducation, virtual neighborhoods? The basic thing that connects us is that we have the (almost) same language: Serb/Croat/Bosnian. During the war/sanctions we had ZaMir network, university, Sezam, SetNet, YUCCA and OpenNet. In that period, web hosting of majority of Serbian language sites was hosted in CA & USA. Now, there are several mailing lists, IRC #serbia, discussion groups... On the media scene, it?s important to mention Real Audio broadcast of Radio B92 and some other stations, on-line news services, newspapers, magazines? Part of government in this is to control information by implementing laws, taxes, closing and banning electronic media; to force censorship, and present dis-information on official sites.
During one year, Classroom education team gave lectures about basic computer and Internet possibilities to more then 150 elderly people, so they could communicate with their children abroad. In cooperation with "University for the Third Age", American Center and Soros fund, they were enabled to use Internet for one hour a day for free. The project moved to specially established "classroom" just for these purposes, and group of 10 best "pupils" was trained to become instructors for the next intake. Several groups of students from non-technology schools were given basic courses about Internet. And in Cinema Rex was organized educational program for artists that I took part in. Besides, I had a two-year long series of articles for elementary school magazine "Internet for children". There is alternative e-scape usage for students: finding a job abroad, finding a scholarship, filling in the application for the Green Card Lottery... The Peace School experience was encouraging. In Tuzla, Bosnia, for the initiative of the humanitarian organization Connect, Internet center was formed for the group of disabled woman and man "Lotosice".
The Library will benefit to citizens and community by sharing knowledge and
experience and creating social and technological bonds in "integral"
Yugoslavia that virtually still exists in memories and on the Internet.

Subject: VTO - rasmus knud
PRESS RELEASE: VTO
rasmus knud
The Soccergette Firm
27th November-19th December 1999
VTO is proud to present the first siting of the Soccergette Firm on these shores. Presented as a melding of fiction and fact, the Soccergette Firm exists as part of a documentation of projects by the danish artists collaborative, rasmus knud.
Consisting of a fanzine (There's a Strong Smell), a celebratory fan must-have CD (Some Girls...), and video documentation of the Seven Sisters March (a demonstration of "different stages of commitment, ecstasy and individual crisis"), rasmus knud has created a fictitious group identity, the Seven Sisters Club of female footballers. Existing as a parallel present that mixes up the history of the Suffragettes and the crisis of group and personal identity, the Seven Sisters Club is proudly supported by the Soccergette Firm, who produce this material, and through whom this merchandise can be obtained.
Isolating a social structure (football and its supporters) to investigate the position of identity in the nineties, rasmus knud has created an entire enclosed system, imitating it's music, merchandise, it's idol worshipping press and its language. Football is used by many as a group identity within which one can obliterate structured individual identity. Through the Soccergette Firm, rasmus knud suggest a more fluid and simulated form of identity that resists stereotyped categories and resemblances. They suggest a 'could-have-been' past as the potential for a 'might-well-be' future in both the sport and the culture that both surrounds it and is framed by it.
In seeking for a rhizomatic and fragmented history of cultural formation, the group identity that forms < B>rasmus knud searches for an identity that is "encircled if not identified." Like other artists concerned with social structure and identity, rasmus knud look at the prevailing present and the systems that it produces. Unlike these other artists, however, rasmus knud suggest that under the deluge of identity that we are presented with, a fictitious group identity may well be as useful and productive as a real one.
