In order to give you a better understanding of what OBN used to be and what it is now, and also what the list is supposed to be used for, I would like to describe the situation of OBN from MY PERSONAL point of view.
|
||||
|
||||
I am sure, most of you know OBN through our conferences and the documentary readers. Indeed, the ’real' platforms of OBN have been dominant so far, in contrast to our ’virtual' ones. But this mailinglist is the first step to improve our virtual presence and communication, and is meant to host a global discourse on Cyberfeminism.

As a matter of fact, we are also working currently on the relaunch of our website. Irena Woelle from Ljubljana is our webdesigner, and we are looking forward to our new site, which will represent what OBN is, much better than the current one. Amongst many other things, next to a theory section, there will also be a gallery space, and a calendar which contains all current events in which cyberfeminists take part. As soon as we have a Beta-version, we will put it up and inform you, as well as ask you for your contributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore OBN is planning a third international conference, called ’next Cyberfeminist International' which hopefully will take place in November this year in Hamburg. The current situation is, that we are in the middle of organizing the funding for the conference. We will keep you updated about this and send out a call as soon as we can verify the details.

OBN itself has gone through several major shifts in the almost four years of it's existence, shifts in personnel and shifts in the organisatorial structure. Some of you might know our video ’processing cyberfeminism' which represented the so-called core-group of OBN. Our current website also still contains this outdated information that there is something like a core-group. There used to be one, right, and it consisted of Cornelia Sollfrank, Susanne Ackers, Julianne Pierce, Helene von Oldenburg, Claudia Reiche, Faith Wilding, Yvonne Volkart, Verena Kuni. But we had to realize after a while that it was no longer functional, for several reasons. For me, most irritating was the fact that the existence of a core-group transported the idea of a closed inner circle to the public, and consequently many interested people felt uncomfortable and not really welcome. I feel very sorry for that, because OBN was always meant to be an open network.

About one year ago, the core-group abolished itself in order to open up the structure and make space for new boys, new ideas, new projects, and new cyberfeminisms. Still, there was no infrastructure where we could have announced and praticed our desire for change. We found ourselves in the contradictory situation that it was up to the ex-core-group again to build these new structures.

guests will send out an initial email statement about thier work/project/publiction, and then for two or so weeks will be open to comment, questions, discussion around the topics. on 15 january 2002 the discussion starts with Ollivier Dyens ( bio at http://www.subtle.net/empyrean/empyre/dyens.html ) who has generously agreed to be the test guest.. a new guest will be invited at regular intervals..currently every second month, however depending on the level of interaction perhaps i will make it more or less frequent. administratively there may still some glitches to be ironed out over the next few weeks as well - the net is never a seamless experience.

-empyre- is not the place for conference announcements, or art show invitations or email text works. i think we are all connected to (often too) many networks which provide these functions already.If anyone consistantly spams the list, sends attachments, or is abusive towards other members i will unsubscribe them.
|
||||
|
||||
as i have made the subscriber list invisible so that it can't be harvested by bulk emailers, i would encourage people to post a brief introduction to the list before the first guest arrives. i'm glad to see new names, as well as so many subscribers whom iv'e known in other hard and digital realms over the years, and i look forward to your participation, which has always been informative and stimulating... often contraversial and sometimes extremely funny.

-empyre- is an experiment in this format, and like most mailing lists will have an organic lifespan generating its unique rhythms, highs ands lows, jumping between furious pace and slow silences... basically -empyre- will live or die according to your input, - you are the animating fluid of -empyre-
