El Museo de Arte ContemporÁneo de Valdivia estÁ encajado a la orilla del rio Calle-Calle en el sur de Chile. Este fue instalado recuperando un viejo edificio a mediados de la decada del noventa para promover el arte contemporáneo dentro de la Region de Los Lagos. Su función desde su creación, sólo ha sido, traer artistas de la cuidad de Santiago sobre todo ex-alumnos de la Universidad Católica, marginando asi toda producción local de arte contemporáneo, produciendo una inversíón de la política cultura, centralizándola en vez de descentralizarla-

I've often wondered: could Southern California (or anywhere in the US) ever
have a cool geek conference like the Chaos Computer
Club holds in Berlin? I don't mean I expect the CCC to hold conferences
in the US rather than their home of Germany. I mean: could US computer culture
- steeped in pragmatism and capitalist necessity - ever support a geek conference
focused on politics and/or recreational hackerdom? After all, San Diego's infamous
annual hacker conference, ToorCon - isn't a
Hacker conference at all, it's an "Information Security" conference. There's
a big difference.
So, with a mix of high hopes and skepticism, I paid a visit this past week
to the O'Reilly Emerging
Technology Conference in San Diego.

About this time last week, I was sitting with friends in the large auditorium at Transmediale in Berlin waiting for the keynote lecture by Antonio Negri. As we ended up waiting for quite some time, we got to see the interviews with Negri from the DVD by Angela Melitopoulos several times over (after we had already watched them in the afternoon at the exhibition). By the time everyone was seated in the audience and a complicated, large-scale headphone exchange had been successfully carried out, the large auditorium seemed to be steeped in the presence of this larger-than-life figure, who finally took his place at the table to speak to this crowd of people that had been waiting for him for hours.

As part of the lecture series "Artvertising" at the O.K Center in Linz, yesterday evening Ecke Bonk talked about his work Book of Words. Random Reading that was shown at Documenta11. What was most amazing was the portrait he painted of Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, who had been librarians together at Museum Fridericianum in Kassel, where the work was shown. Ecke Bonk mentioned that it was suggested to him that instead of a "random reading" of the Deutsches Wörterbuch, it should be interactive, allowing people to type in a word, for which the entry in the Grimm brothers' dictionary would then be displayed.
