A real chance to stop the horror in Iraq

From the Ceasefire Campaign:

Dear friends,

This week the American people voted overwhelmingly to reject President Bush’s war in Iraq, and yesterday the key architect of the war, US military chief Donald Rumsfeld, announced his resignation. The winds of political change are sweeping the US, and the US-led Coalition in Iraq may -- finally -- be realising that they cannot win the war, and that they lack the legitimacy to bring stability and peace to the country without more help from the international community.

With a newly elected US Congress and a President who is finally in a listening mood, we now have a unique opportunity for a global public outcry to change the course of this disastrous war. It’s the perfect time to act.

To seize this opportunity, we want to place ads in US and UK papers with a new global petition calling upon the Coalition to accept a larger role for the international community and a phased withdrawal of all its troops from Iraq. We’ll publish the number of signatures we get in the ads, so we need AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE to sign the petition in the next 48 hours. Please tell all your friends and family, and sign below:

www.CeasefireCampaign.org

This is our chance to make sure the pressure of global public opinion is being felt by Coalition governments as they rethink their war in Iraq, pressing them to accept a larger role for the international community and to withdraw their troops.

We know why it’s so important to act. A shocking study released by Johns Hopkins University last month suggested that hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed in Iraq -- more than anyone thought -- and experts warn that the civil war is about to pass a point of no return. October was the worst month yet for civilian casualties, with death squads moving house to house. The killing could place Iraq alongside Darfur as one of the greatest human catastrophes of our new century.

We must not let that happen. And if we each act quickly this week, we can each play a role in stopping it.

We can reach our goal for this campaign by spreading the word. Please forward this email to as many of your friends and family as you can, and act now to add your voice to this urgent call for action:

www.CeasefireCampaign.org

This may be our best chance for peace yet. Let’s take it.

With hope,

Ricken, Ben, Rachel, Paul, Tom, Amparo and the Ceasefire Campaign team

Among Ted's works she presented there was the Marko's Machine, a collaboration of Ted & me, produced in June this year. Not too bad, with all those wonderful Duchamps and Picassos hanging around the room, and certainly it would've been great to be there.

Ted Warnell used short excerpts from the Finnish national anthem Maamme and "Nocturne" by Eino Leino as well as a javascript generator to produce these exciting minimalist sound poems for Nokturno. Using Ted's own words:

ANTHM is created (loosely) in the style of Steve Reich's minimal, rhythmic compositions, and to mark the 40th anniversary of publication of his highly significant piece, "Come Out" -- (i have the original 1966 Columbia recording on vinyl here in my collection) -- Reich is, of course, a leading figure in development of minimalist music

NoCTRN is created (loosely) in the style of Inuit throat singers of Canada's north -- the stereo channels are used to emulate a duet (per the Inuit)

call for submissions

>From Jonathan Penton & Dan Waber:

We at www.UnlikelyStories.org would like to observe:

1. All creativity comes from the same stream. The distinctions between visual art, literature, music, film, performance art, and technologically-assisted art are artificial.

2. Although these distinctions are artificial, they are often practical. It is extremely expensive to bind many pieces of visual art in a book, and often greatly reduces the emotional impact of such works. It is rarely convenient to view the original manuscript of a well-loved novel.

3. Although some practical distinctions are still valid, recent technological changes have greatly reduced their necessity. With the advent of consumer-level laser printers, visual art can be reproduced much less expensively. Similar technologies have reduced the cost of short printing runs. The television, the VCR, and most importantly the Internet, have allowed for vastly greater distribution of artworks of all types. Although problems of finance and location are still acute, the opportunities to distribute a wide variety of artistic works to a larger audience are greatly increased.

4. Unfortunately, the mindset of artists, and to a lesser degree art appreciators, has not caught up with these changes. We still see a photographer as different from a painter and a filmmaker as different from a poet to a degree which is not justified by the differing technical skills. Worse, photography is considered inherently different from painting, and poetry inherently different from film, despite the fact that all four are often given quite similar electronic treatments to enhance their presentation, especially on the Internet.

We at www.UnlikelyStories.org will proudly present our Cross-Media Issue in the hopes of working to alter these prejudices in both our own minds and the culture. Under the guiding vision of experimental artist and guest editor Dan Waber, we are looking to publish creative works which push the boundaries of not simply genre, but medium. We are looking for works that destroy the boundaries between poetry and visual art, between music and essay, between storytelling and programming. We are looking to dance about literature.

We are especially interested in works which would not be possible without the World Wide Web, or that otherwise are designed to specifically take advantage of the medium in which they will be presented. We are looking for essays and reviews of any cross-media work, as well as essays that explore current changes in art as our technology and culture change. We are looking for experiments – music videography and prose poetry are too well established to be considered cross-media, unless, of course, you've painted a music video or photographed a prose poem.

The bulk of this issue will remain at www.UnlikelyStories.org in perpetuity, although large files might be taken down after one year. It should be noted that cross-media works are also accepted in regular issues of Unlikely 2.0, though the considerations for acceptance are drastically different. Please see http://www.unlikelystories.org/mission.shtml for our Mission Statement, and the guidelines that pertain to unthemed issues.

Considerations for interested artists:

1. Please take the time to check out www.UnlikelyStories.org and see what we normally do at Unlikely 2.0.
2. Please send your work, or links to your work, directly to Dan Waber at unlikelystories(at)gmail.com. Submissions must be received by Friday, December 22, 2006. The issue should go live in mid-January.
3. Please assume that all work will be viewed in Internet Explorer or Firefox at 1024x768 pixels. The sidebars that normally exist on Unlikely 2.0 will be removed when appropriate.
4. Please create works that can be reasonably viewed by users running Windows 2000 on a Pentium III, Windows XP on a Pentium 4, or Mac OS 8.x. Movie formats that are viewable on the Web are unfortunately harder on computers than are DVDs. Realistically, a movie file shouldn't be larger than 400x300 pixels, and an animated file shouldn't be larger than 600x400 pixels.
5. Previously published works are accepted, with appropriate notation. Simultaneously submitted materials are not appropriate for this issue.

topelius fragments

The special Finland issue of the Swedish poetry magazine OEI, that was published in Stockholm last weekend, contains a series of my text fragments titled "Impressioner från Haviseva" that was generated using this machine. The source text used in the generator is the famous song "En sommardag i Kangasala" ("Kesäpäivä Kangasalla"), written by Zacharias Topelius in the 19th century, and after generating text pieces they are slightly fragmented as well (some letters taken away and, in some pieces, replaced with blank spaces).

Topelius wrote this song at the Haralan harju, a beautiful place up on a hill in Kangasala, a rural district in the neighbourhood of Tampere, where you can see forests and lakes everywhere. Haralan harju is located quite near Haviseva, an area in Kangasala, and that's where the title comes from. Haviseva is also a place where my grandparents on my father's side used to live, back then when they were still alive, and I spent a few Midsummers up there at the Haralan harju as a child about 25 years ago so, in spite of all this text generating stuff, there's also a sort of private and nostalgic element in these fragments. Pretty imperceptible perhaps but still existent.

peijaiset

Tomorrow I'll be at the Kirjallisuuspeijaiset, in the Center of Contemporary Art of Pispala in Tampere, with Janne Nummela. There'll be two laptops, two video projectors, improvised and pseudo-improvised writing on the screen, among perhaps some interactive live vispo, and a band called Kirjailijan yhtye playing some ambient music. We haven't had time to rehearse even once, so it's impossible to say how it's going to be like, but I think it will be lots of fun, at least to ourselves. The audience, of course, might disagree.

a bookish survey

I was invited to this by Paal, so here we go.

1. One book that changed your life:
Rännak impampluule riiki by Valdur Mikita. I just wish I could read Estonian better than I do.

2. One book you’ve read more than once:
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust sounds quite suitable for the situation (even though it's not one book).

4. One book that made you giddy:
I love repeating, so let's say Adams once again.

5. One book that wracked you with sobs:
Hmm. I'm sure there must be at least one such book, but I can't recall any right now.

6. One book that you wish had been written:
Something with my name on it, ha ha.

7. One book you wish had never been written:
This is a weird question.

8. One book you’re currently reading:
24 Declassified, Operation Hell Gate, by Marc Cerasini. Actually, I'm sort of close-reading this one, since I'm translating it.

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
Visuelle Poesie 1965-2005 by Klaus Peter Dencker.

10. Now tag five bloggers:
Elina, Karri, Mikael, Rita, Sirpa.
