What is Next 5 Minutes?

Next 5 Minutes is a festival that brings together art, campaigns,
experiments in media technology, and transcultural politics. Next 5
Minutes revolves around the notion of tactical media, the fusion of
art, politics and media. The festival is organised irregularly, when
the urgency is felt to bring a new edition of the festival together.

Come to Miami in November and this is what you'll see......

In November 2003, Miami, Florida is hosting both the 8th round of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) trade negotiations and the eight Americas Business Forum. Trade Ministers from 34 nations in the Western hemisphere, and hundreds of their closest commerce-inclined friends, will descend on this city for a week of business and pleasure: the business of advancing capitalism's parasitic agenda, the pleasure of getting away with it.

At the Summit of Americas held in Miami in December 1994, 34 heads of state agreed to construct the FTAA. Since then, business and government representatives from these Countries have been secretly drafting this plan with the aim of creating the largest free trading block in the world by 2005. This is to be our region's principal contribution to the much-heralded age of globalization - the inevitable era of opulence and prosperity capitalism promised from its inception. Soon history will draw to a close, and everyone will benefit from the forethought and benevolence of their leaders and elite, Right?

Urban Renewal: The City Without A Ghetto

a museum of urban development

opening Tuesday, July 15 at Storefront for Art and Architecture



The Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) announces the opening of Urban Renewal: The City Without a Ghetto, an exhibition to be held at Storefront for Art and Architecture located at 97 Kenmare Street from July 15 through August 17. There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, July 15 from 6:30 – 9pm.



CUP has created the exhibition, Urban Renewal: The City Without a Ghetto, to illustrate the history and present state of urban development in New York City. Using techniques from natural history museums, art installations, and government education campaigns, CUP’s goal is to educate the public about the social processes that create everyday physical environments. The work being showcased will examine selected episodes and themes in the traffic between the social and the physical, centered on Urban Renewal as it was and is practiced in the United States starting in the mid-20th century. New York City and Chicago are the primary case studies. Individual exhibits will contribute to the viewer’s material understanding of the social construction of the physical environment. The exhibition will include large-scale photography; a video documentary on the history of public housing in New York City; an interactive model displaying government subsidies, do-it-yourself urban research environments and contemporary proposals for economic development in New York.



Urban Renewal: The City Without a Ghetto is one component of a larger series of exhibitions and programs entitled The City Without a Ghetto in 2003. All projects address how areas of human habitat have come to be labeled as unwanted, unneeded, or unimportant, and how various means have been used in attempts to remove, renew, revitalize, or redevelopment these areas through planning.

The symposium 'Power-Up: computer games, ideology and play' will be at the
Watershed Media Centre, Bristol on Monday July 14th and Tuesday July 15th.

The Play Research Group within the School of Cultural Studies at the
University of the West of England invites you to explore the implications
and possibilities for studying games and play as part of a changing world
and its power structures. The symposium is organised to maximise discussion
and debate -- there is a limited number of panels and workshops with plenty
of time for less formal exchange of ideas.
