>### CONCEPT ###
>
>"To defend the freedom of knowledge is probably the most important
>task facing us in the future," said Prof. Norbert Szyperski, a leading
>micro-economist, at the Wizards of OS 1.
>
>In the "knowledge society", questions related to the production,
>distribution, archiving and usage of software-based knowledge become
>pivotal. Among computer operating systems -- as GNU/Linux and others
>have proven -- free, open solutions are a real alternative to
>proprietary, closed products. But what about the other building blocks
>of the "knowledge society"?
>
>Radio frequencies, standards and protocols, search engines and archives,
>school and universities, libraries and museums, public broadcasting
>and the knowledge of public administration -- don't these things also
>have the character of an infrastructure, of "operating systems of the
>knowledge society", as well? How free or unfree are each of these? We
>need an environmentalism of the digital knowledge environment (James
>Boyle) with a political economy of "intellectual property" at its
>core. How much "knowledge as commodity" can we afford? How much public
>knowledge do we need?
>
>The second WOS conference intends to explore routes to an open culture
>of free knowledge. It will focus on the changes in the conditions of
>intellectual creation of all kinds, the mediation of its results and
>their collaborative continued development. How accessible, transparent,
>participatory and extensible are any of the various infrastructural
>layers? "Intellectual property" has a powerful lobby, but who will stand
>up for the rights of common knowledge?
>
>
>
>### MAIN TOPICS ###
>
>
>*** Free Software ***
>
>What is the current state of the concept of free software following its
>adoption by big corporations and public administrations and after the
>roller coaster ride on the tech-heavy markets such as the Nasdaq and the
>Neuer Markt? Representatives from HP, IBM and others offer their views
>on what to many remains an unanswered question: How can you make money
>with free software?
>
>
>*** Among Equals ***
>
>Napster and SETI@Home have brought peer-to-peer networking to the fore.
>P2P currently supports communities of scientists, technicians and
>journalists in the generation, collection and filtering of knowledge.
>Can we speak yet of a general shift from competition to cooperation?
>
>
>*** Biotechnology ***
>
>The human genome is being explored by the international community of
>scientists racing against biotech corporations -- some to further public
>knowledge, others to protect exploitable private knowledge. Biomaterial
>and knowledge from patients and ethnic groups is being expropriated
>and patented. Are open source genetics and fair trade agreements an
>alternative?
>
>
>*** The Legal Ordering of Knowledge ***
>
>Global information flows challenge nation-state-based regulation
>of copyright, patents and trademark law and tend ever more towards
>harmonization. The technical implementation of property claims
>hard-codes them into the operating system and at the same time creates
>new opportunities for zoning. What about the right of public access -- a
>necessary prerequisite for innovation -- that is supposed to be equally
>protected by many national laws?
>
>
>*** Not For Sale: Public Knowledge ***
>
>Libraries, museums, schools, universities and public broadcasting store
>and nurture the wealth of common knowledge. Today, public knowledge
>resources often appear as luxury goods that in a time of tightened
>budgets might just as well be economized -- or even more: delegated for
>profit-oriented cultivation by the private sector. But how does this
>compare with what the German Constitutional Court called the public
>mandate for a basic provision of information?
>
>
>*** Knowledge Transfer Among Rich and Poor ***
>
>Has the promise of free software furthered the self-determination of the
>South, or countered the growth of the Digital Divide?
>
>

>### THE WIZARDS OF OS 1 ###
>
>The first WOS conference in July 1999 focused primarily on free software
>and the open, highly distributed, collaborative process in which it is
>created.
>
>More than 600 members of the science, technology, business and art
>communities came together in the House of World Cultures in Berlin to
>talk about the foundations of the computer-based culture. Since then, a
>series of workshops and seminars have addressed computer science, legal,
>political, artistic and philosophical facets of the field of topics.
>
>
>
>### WOS 1 IN THE PRESS ###
>
>"All in all, one can certainly call the first 'Wizards of OS'
>conference, the first in a series of related events, a milestone in the
>history of the open source movement." (c't)
>
>"This could be the most important event in years." (Wau Holland, CCC
>pioneer in Wired News)
>
>"An important conference because it was not a typical software special
>interest conference but dealt much more generally with the social,
>political and economic meaning of software, licensing, intellectual
>property rights and copyright." (Junge Welt)
>
>"At a recent Berlin conference 'The Wizard of OS -- Open Sources and
>Free Software', the techno-intellectuals from the open source movement
>made it clear that they are not only interested in technology, but also
>and especially in politics." (Sueddeutsche Zeitung)
>

>
>There is a lot of talk about future bodies, interchangeable genders and
>posthuman subjects. According to the general trend of ideas, this is all
>because the new technologies are threatening to bring about fundamental
>change or indeed are already doing so. But if you take a quick look into the
>world of the new media in practice (net projects, websites, computer games,
>CD-ROM projects) there is less cause for concern. The men and the women are
>still there for all to see, the one with muscular bodies and the others with
>breasts.
>
>So what is this new thing, this other thing which is starting to take shape
>supposed to be? What in fact could it be? Is it perhaps to be found lurking
>behind the façade of these images, in places where nobody has looked for it
>yet? Are the shifts in the morphology of bodies so subtle that they have not
>yet become apparent? Or should we take these 'Future Bodies' as a masquerade
>that promises something they do not hold?
>
>If we assume that the genetic code is now staking a hegemonic claim to truth
>in place of the laws of physics or the binary code of information
>technology, then bodies and with them their subjects have met their
>material and epistemelogical limits. How in the context of this biological
>power, can identities be generated which are co-ordinated through seeing,
>perceiving and knowing? How can the relationship between mental and
>technical images be determined? How are these new bodies being introduced by
>science and fiction? How do they come to be seen by us? And what do these
>images and bodies actually show us bodies we have not yet seen, but which
>we will turn out always to have been already?

>Who is the third who walks always beside you?
>When I count, there are only you and I together
>But when I look ahead up the white road
>There is always another one walking beside you
>Gliding wrap in a brown mantle, hooded
>I do not know whether a man or a woman
>- - But who is that on the other side of you?
>(T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land)
>
>Even as we step into a new millennium, many spectres we inherited from the
>last century are still haunting us. Though postmodern doubt has proceeded to
>rid itself of what the French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard has called
>'grand narritives', (such universal categories as History, Truth, Art,
>etc.), they are still persisting in the present as shadows of our thoughts
>and actions. Such ghosts of history also exist in the small narratives of
>our daily lives, as expressed in the above quoted lines of T.S. Eliot. The
>text is inspired by the account of an Antarctic expedition. Eliot explains
>in his original note: "It was related that the party of explorers, at the
>extremity of their strength, had the constant delusion that there was one
>more member then could actually be counted". This awareness of an unreal
>presence could be thought of as the testimony of an otherworldly existence
>in our physical world, but it could also be attributed to causes of
>psychological nature. Feeling the presence of an absent person can occur for
>example after somebody has died, or can be caused by a delirious state of
>being. But there are many other forms of shadow lives that live among us.
>The power of memory to transport us out of the present to people and places
>long past plays an important role in experiences of unreal presence. It is
>related to a notion of time that is not linear, but opens up a spatial
>simultaneity in which unrelated events become connected and exist together.
>Sometimes memories can be more real then the present as the French writer
>Marcel Proust experienced. In Remembrance of Things Past he relived his own
>past through the act of writing. As happened with Proust upon dipping a
>Madeleine in tea, it is the seemingly insignificant objects and events that
>can become a doorway to past times. The works in this exhibition survey
>different aspects of such experiences of unreal presence in the small
>narratives of daily life.

>Medi@terra Festival is among the cultural events which are organised in
>the context of the Olympic Games of 2004 in Athens
>
>CALL FOR PROJECTS
>
>The annual Medi@terra Festival is changing form. Under the title
>De-Globalizing / Re-Globalizing, the Festival is travelling from the
>South to the North in the form of a microMuseum.
>
>Medi@terra, having developed an intense activity around the questions
>posed by digital culture, has been included among the events which are
>organised on the opportunity of the Olympic Games of 2004 in Athens.
>Its inclusion in the Cultural Olympiad for the years 2001 – 2004 has
>recently been announced.
>
>Medi@terra supports and puts into practice the view of a continuously
>evolving festival, both in terms of its form and ideas. As such, it
>invites all those with an interest in research and experimentation
>around the new conditions that are now being shaped to take part in its
>new effort: a moving Festival that will start off from Greece, travel
>through the Balkans and end up in Germany.
>
>This movement will be made through a microMuseum: a small, adaptable
>structure which, making use of new technology, can contain a large
>number of works of art, views, proposals and presentations, as well as
>systems and friendly areas for communication and meetings. The works
>that will travel with the microMuseum are ones which experiment with the
>new platforms for the production and exhibition of the modern art work
>through different creative media. The microMuseum is based on the
>logic of the kiosk that one finds mainly in Greece (peripteron), with a
>reference at the same time to the concept of the 'small museum,' an idea
>which began in the 16th century and continues among today's artists.
>
>In each host city, the events of Medi@terra will be set up within and
>around the microMuseum: CD-ROM art, net art, computer art, digital
>photography, interactive objects and “hand luggage-sized” installations,
>
>sound environments and electronic music, screenings, an archive with
>printed matter, texts in digital form, audio-visual propositions and
>presentations as well as cultural events organised by the artists and
>art centres of each city. A debate on the subject of the other side of
>globalisation will round off the activities of the Festival.
>
>An art centre in each city-stop will undertake the setting up and
>realisation of the microMuseum in collaboration with its various
>associates, and will participate as a co-organiser in the preparations
>and making of decisions. In addition, each centre will be able to take
>part in Medi@terra's journey as a member of the “Pilot Operating Net”
>via the Internet. Through the Internet it will be possible to follow
>the path of the microMuseum and participate in its events from a
>distance, from every point on the globe. The “Pilot Operating Net” is
>initiated by the network of centres which co-organise the festival,
>while all the members of the network can observe, guide, disseminate
>information and participate with work and activities in the unfolding
>events of the journey.
>
>The microMuseum will start from the city of Lavrion, famous from the
>antiquity for its silver-mines that have supported the Hellenic
>Democracy of the Golden Age, whilst in the 19th century the first
>industrial unit was created there. Today, this unit has been turned into
>a technological park and the Municipality is participating in a
>programme for the "smart city."
>
> Medi@terra will continue its journey through the cities of Sofia &
>Plovdiv (Bulgaria), Maribor (Slovenia), ending up at the International
>Book Fair in Frankfurt where the honoured country this year is Greece.
>Here, the microMuseum will present, along with all the things
>experienced on the journey, material with information (videos,
>photographs, texts, etc.) which artists will have produced throughout
>the duration of the journey.

> [~] NAZI~LINE PROGRAM & CAMPAIGN ARE HITTING A RAW NERVE IN GERMANY
>
> The NAZI~LINE INTRO-CAMPAIGN officially started in April 2001, when
> ubermorgen.com teamed up with german media artist christoph schlingensief.
> He was signed as the media anchor for the NAZI~LINE marketing-campaign
> from April to June 2001 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Strong media
> coverage and controversial debates over hate crime and/or nationalistic
> motivated crime are hitting a raw nerve in the german population.
>
> Primary goals and investments of NAZI~LINE Ltd. are hate crime detection,
> prevention, alternative research und information distribution. On the
> commercial sector, we offer consulting services to corporations seriously
> infected with hate crime. NAZI~LINE asks: "How come your company can
> afford hate crime?"
>
> NAZI~LINE Ltd. is a new company initated by the the ubermorgen-network
> [ http://www.ubermorgen.com ], the same holding-company that produced the
> notorious [V]ote-auction web-site during the U.S. presidential elections in
> fall 2000. Our holding's headquarters as well as the fully owned subsidiary
> NAZI~LINE Ltd. are based in Sofia/Bulgaria [ubermorgen Ltd.].

> [] NAZI~LINE DESIGNER ASSAULTED AT PUBLIC LECTURE IN VIENNA
>
> In April, the multi-awarded star designers bart-n-lisa.com, who created
> the look & feel of the NAZI~LINE web-site received an invitation to hold a
> lecture in the reknown viennese art museum "Kunstlerhaus". During their
> presentation, NAZI~LINE executives Maria Haas, Hans A. Bernhard, and
> bart-n-lisa.com designer Alister P.M. were attacked by an idividual
> identified as "Stefan". "Stefan" apparently felt that NAZI~LINE was dis-
> honoring nationalism and german 3rd reich values by using its aesthetics
> to attract neo-Nazis to the program. NAZI~LINE strongly opposes such acts
> of raw violence and whishes to express their deepest regrets for the
> interpruption by this obviously psychologically-challenged person.
>
> Strangely, staff members of the Kunstlerhaus, which still serves as a
> haven for so-called "Old-Nazis" - they serve in the board of members -
> decided to ban NAZI~LINE from their website instead of exploring and
> discussing the issue.
>
> Please feel free to look at the footage, provided by an amateur filmer
> from the audience [a guest of voortekk.com]: http://www.terrorbyte.net
>
> and read more about this attack under...

> [] BEFORE AND AFTER: NEO-NAZIS, SKINHEAD MUSIC AND THE GERMAN "REICHSTAG"
>
> NAZI~LINE casted 6 individuals engaged in the german Neo-Nazi scene
> for the play "Hamlet" at the "Schauspielhaus" Theater in Zurich,
> Switzerland. Here is a quick overview about what happened to some of
> the integrated Neo-Nazis and novice actors since the play opened May 12,
> 2001 in Zurich:
>
> . Melanie Dittmer - the only woman in the crew - returned to her old
> routine, and is back with her former Neo-Nazi gang members. She was
> subsequently expelled from the "Hamlet" acting-crew.
> . Torsten Lemmer, who controls the largest label for right-wing skinhead
> music worldwide, has announced his intention to sell off his majority-
> share of the music-company to the german ministery of interiors.
> negotiations are said to be underway. The label: http://www.rocknord.de
> . Markus Boesfleisch, who is a studied actor, was imprisoned in cologne/
> germany on charges of failure to comply with a former court ruling.
> . Jan Zobel was kicked out from his ongoing apprenticeship in a
> dusseldorf/germany based company. he now moved on to acting as the
> leading force behind the founding of an alternative exit-program from
> and for neo-Nazis [self-support group].
> . Martin Kohlmann was kicked out by his "Hamlet" crew members as they
> did not consider his motivation to leave Nazism behind to be sincere.
>
> During their latest media appearances at the german "Reichstag" - the
> german parliament - guided by green party member rezzo schlauch and
> a dozen camera-teams and news-reporters, and at the press conference
> june 12 in zurich, crew members stated that they intend to start their
> own program, from and for neo-Nazis willing to leave their communities.
>

> [] GERMAN "EXIT"-PROGRAM ATTACKS NAZI~LINE VIA THE MEDIA
>
> As Germany seems to be again falling into the pitfalls of fatally interpreted
> patriotism, german minister of interiors, Otto Schily [former laywer
> of leftist terror group RAF] gave start to a number of federal, state and
> community programs aiming to fight Neo-Nazi movements.
>
> The primary goal of these undisclosed and only vaguely described programs,
> namely "RAUS" [german for "get out"], is to use classical FBI-strategies in
> order to target Neo-Nazi groups by offering attractive crown witness programs
> to key people within those movements. The second most prominent program "EXIT"
> was initiated by german yellow-press-magazin "Stern" and former intelligence
> officer Bernd Wagner. While both of the above-mentioned programs surely want
> to seriously reach out to hate-striken people throughout germany, they
> unfortunately fail to clearly differentiate between partners and "the enemy":
>
> NAZI~LINE received legal threats by "EXIT" ordering NAZI~LINE to refrain
> from mentioning EXIT within their link list. Additionally we have trustworthy
> information that "EXIT" has put enormous pressure on small grassroots
> organisations such as "WEISSE ROSE DUESSELDORF", in order to avoid their
> cooperation with the NAZI~LINE campaign.
>
> Furthermore, the .gov funded RAUS program and their federal and state units
> are surfing our web-site day in, day out, trying to find how to legally stop
> NAZI~LINE from operating its online services.

> [~] THE NAZI~LINE CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND
>
> Our european NAZI~LINE ad-campaign intendes to establish the brand
> NAZI~LINE within a broad audience. The overwhelming success of the
> campaign proofs NAZI~LINE's ideas of artistic and alternative
> methods to be a most viable mean of targeting classic taboo issues.
>
> The NAZI~LINE campaign integrated neo-nazis economically by providing
> jobs to individuals ready to leave their old world of useless hate
> behind. The pilot-project "HAMLET" has recruited 6 neo-Nazis to play
> in Shakespears "Hamlet", directed by Christoph Schlingensief.
>
> "..Schlingensief, known for his political incorrectness.. who misses no
> opportunity to portray how politics and life are intertwined..."
> NZZ, april 2001 http://www.nzz.ch/english/swiss_week/2001/april.html
>
> The NAZI~LINE campaign site has so far gathered around 2.5 Mio Visits
> and a registered community of about 17.000 users within the months
> April to June 2001. Over 500 News-features [TV, Radio, Online, and
> Print] in Europe resulted in a massive media surface. Journalists
> in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, but also The Netherlands, Spain,
> Denmark, Russia, and France have covered the story since.

> [~] NAZI~LINE PROGRAM TALKS DIRECTLY TO HATE-CRIME INFECTED COMPANIES
>
> How come your company can afford hate crime?
>
> NAZI~LINE consults companies in fighting hate crime and related
> economic problems. NAZI~LINE is working on both sides of the problem:
> We offer online-programs for infected companies, helping them find
> out about their risks and money losses. NAZI~LINE invests into
> education and integration and offers add-on services such as
> psychological and medical treatment of Neo-Nazis and hate criminals.
>
> We offer classic consulting services in the area of corporate
> troublemakers and criminal employees to companies and managers ready
> to increase revenues by carefully identifying troublemakers within
> their organizations.
>
> Large scaled companies as well as small family businesses have to look
> for rising profits in order to maintain a healthy economic position in
> their respective markets. But what to do, if your community and therefore
> your company becomes infected with hate crime and its ugly side-effects?
> One solution, taken by most big corporations, is to move one's
> business to another place, where hate crime is either not as apparant
> or being taken care of in a serious, preventional manner. However,
> this step, clearly deteriorates an already critical situation in
> hate crime affected areas.
> Solution number two [staying and "fighting"] can seem like more work,
> but creates more flexibilty on the side of the company. Companies in
> hate-crime infected areas can receive public funding, improve their
> image, can influence municipial politics and rocket themselves into
> the hearts of small-towners and urban communities.

> International corporations as well as individual victims are kindly

> [~] EUROPE FALLS BEHIND: HATE CRIME AS A NON-EXISTENT TERM IN GERMANY
>
> Hate crime and Neo-Nazism can affect the growth and prosperity of companies
> and economic networks throughout the whole world! The most recent and most
> prominent example for the western world has been the wave of war and crime
> throughout the Balkans.
>
> Whereas in the United States the term "hate crime" has been recognized as a
> unique form of criminal act since the 1950's, european initiatives and
> politicians still focus on neo-nazistic issues and groups. the European
> Union [EU] stricly negates hate crime as a phenomenon. Thus, hate crimes are
> being viewed not as an act against human core values, but the classic
> xenophobic motives are being transformed into extremist political
> (non-)values.
>
> Economic downturn becomes a political issue, and communities, families, and
> individuals worldwide are the victims of the daily racist, sexist, and
> homophobic crimes. a party to the battle which is often being totally forgot
> about is the company - employing those who commit hate crimes or even
> committing hate crimes themselves - and the impact of hate criminals on
> infected companies.
>
> Companies are losing money as we speak because of employees or owners filled
> by hatred and prejudice. These costs include huge marketing and image costs
> directly caused by harmful communication undertaken by hateful employees.
