The Distributed Learning Project (DLP) provides an infrastructure for groups of researchers and educators of all backgrounds to create, find, edit, re-use and share up-to-date content situated in new media art discourses and production.

The DLP enables open knowledge exchange in new media research and production. It offers up-to-date resources in the rapidly changing field of new media research.

Entries from fields as diverse as conceptual art, film, literature, political science, computer science and cultural theory are semantically interlinked encouraging cross-diciplinary research, teaching and production.

People who live or work in Lower Manhattan or who visit here usually learn about it from guide books or websites. Information in guide books is often stale, not updated, and organized in linear structure. Websites about Lower Manhattan are frequently corporate, or city-run. The goal of this project is to create free, complete, up-to-date and reliable material about Lower Manhattan and to give everybody the chance to share their stories, their histories, or tourist information.

79 Days (English version) is a networked documentary hypermedia project that looks at the media coverage of the wars in Iraq and Kosovo. Images of media coverage of the Kosovo war in 1999, interviews with Kosovars and Serbs about the war (recorded on travel in the Balkans in 2001) and live image search results for the war in Iraq are brought together. The title of the work refers to the duration of the war in Kosovo. The piece consists of 3000 files, 40 minutes of streamed video, and an ever-changing number of live generated Google image search results.

]]>Tuesday Afternoonhttp://www.collectivate.net/projects/tuesday-afternoon.html[Trebor]2005-07-01T05:00:00ZWeb-specific artwork with Carol Flax

In the process of globalization international borders become increasingly easy to cross for capital. Corporations reach super-mobility, but borders are militarized against "undesirable" populations. Birth becomes one's first immigration, and seemingly arbitrary lines determine social and economic geography. Tuesday Afternoon, is an easily accessible screen-based hypermedia project. Landscape is experienced as site of discrimination and even death. Using sound, text and video, the game-like structure of Tuesday Afternoon goes beyond the point-and-click and makes each visitor's navigation of the piece unique.

Blips are temporary departures from familiar experience. Based on the concept that the majority of cultural activity in our post-industrial society remains invisible to the institutions and discourses -critics, art historians, collectors, dealers, museums, curators and arts administrators- who manage and interpret contemporary culture, blips.tk is a collaborative online project that seeks to archive and reflect critically on this "creative dark matter."

This open history project contains a database of multimedia submissions, selected essays that reflect on issues raised by this content, as well as a web log for critical debate. We encourage individuals and organizations to submit artwork, ideas, documents, and information of a wide variety that belongs to this shadow realm of creativity. The domain is registered on the island of Tokelau, 480 km north of Western Samoa.

]]>Discordiahttp://www.collectivate.net/projects/discordia.html[Trebor]2005-03-25T17:29:06Z

Discordia is an experiment in social filtering, collaborative moderation and different styles of communication. In order to try out how software structures influence discussion, Discordia is a weblog - also known as a blog. Most blogs only post stories written by the editor or editors. Some blogs allow readers to post comments about stories, and some allow users to submit stories to editors, who then decide what stories get posted. But very few blogs allow readers to decide for themselves what stories get posted - peer moderation. On Discordia, readers submit stories into a moderation queue, and other readers decide what stories get posted. Examples of other peer moderated weblog sites are Indymedia and Kuro5hin.
With so many mailing lists already devoted to art, media, politics, theory, what is the point of yet another discussion forum?
Mailing lists tend to favor an essay-type style of writing and/or a statement-rebuttal type of communication because of their linear structure. Discordia uses the blog structure and different sections to encourage shorter posts and different styles of communication. Since this structure enables prioritizing, it should also be easier to follow and combine various topics.
Another thing - if you're as overwhelmed by mailing lists constantly bombarding your inbox as some of us are, we hope you'll appreciate the way you can come and go to Discordia at your leisure. It's sort of like one of those hot/cold media differentiations. Mailing list posts come to you; with a weblog, you go to it.

]]>Statements and Remixeshttp://www.collectivate.net/projects/statements-and-remixes.html[Trebor]2005-03-17T23:25:33ZProjects

date | location: March 2005 | Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana, Slovenia

participants: Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky), Boris Saletic, Marko Batista, Miltos Manetas, Trebor Scholz

The "STATEMENTS AND REMIXES" is the first of five interdisciplinary projects of the STRUCTURE.01 network. The network creates discussion through particular projects that are created as a result of particular activism, social construction and a realization of the concept of hybrid formation, instead of being excited and overwhelmed with its own virtual communication.

"STATEMENTS AND REMIXES" recognizes the concept as a basis of any art practice. It creates a new variable sense of environment, that demands non linear reading by the consumer on a basis of moving statements of the participants. They do not see their concepts as separated units, their purose is interaction of various connections.
