Conference Background
|
|
---------------------
|
|
WebNet is the annual conference of the WebSociety that was founded in 1995
|
|
out of a concern that an organisation addressing the application aspects of
|
|
the Web and representing a lobby for Web users independent of specific
|
|
platforms and without the domination of commercial organisations was needed.
|
|
The WebSociety complements existing other bodies such as the Internet
|
|
Society and W3C. The former is, by definition, more concerned with
|
|
providing global Internet services than anything else and the latter is
|
|
specifically oriented towards one particular system WWW. The Web Society
|
|
and hence WebNet takes a more general view, dealing with a variety of
|
|
modern Internet tools and their integration including services such as
|
|
Gopher, WWW, Hyper-G, WAIS, directory services, FTP, email and cooperative
|
|
applications and novel approaches from Hot Java to VRML, from Web compatible
|
|
teaching modules to 3D interfaces.

|
|

|
|
objectives, the intended audience, the length (3 hours or 6 hours), a 200-

O'REILLY RELEASES "COMPUTER USER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE"
|
|
|
|
SEBASTOPOL, CA--Joan Stigliani traveled the world for four years in
|
|
search of information that would help computer users stay healthy. She
|
|
interviewed practitioners of conventional and alternative
|
|
medicine--physical, occupational, and massage therapists,
|
|
psychologists, ergonomics researchers, research scientists, equipment
|
|
developers, and computer users. Stigliani's findings are presented in
|
|
her breakthrough guide to healthy computing, "The Computer User's
|
|
Survival Guide: Staying Healthy in a High Tech World," just released by
|
|
O'Reilly & Associates. The most comprehensive computer health manual,
|
|
it is also the first to incorporate a holistic approach to dealing with
|
|
computer users' complex, interrelated, and proliferating ailments.
|
|
|
|
"This is the most comprehensive, well thought-out and user-friendly
|
|
book I have read on RSI," said Ruth Lowengart, MD, MSOM, Assistant
|
|
Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco School
|
|
of Medicine. "Joan Stigliani brings in information on the cutting edge
|
|
of what we are just beginning to understand about these disorders."
|
|
|
|
"The Computer User's Survival Guide" looks squarely at all the factors
|
|
that affect home and work computer users' health, including
|
|
positioning, equipment, work habits, lighting, stress, radiation, and
|
|
general health. Through this guide readers will learn:
|
|
|
|
> a continuum of neutral postures that they can utilize at different
|
|
work tasks
|
|
> how radiation drops off with distance and what electrical equipment
|
|
is responsible for most exposure
|
|
> how modern office lighting is better suited to working on paper than
|
|
on a screen, and what they can do to prevent glare
|
|
> simple breathing techniques and stretches to keep their body well
|
|
oxygenated and relaxed, even when they sit all day
|
|
> how reading from a screen puts unique strains on their eyes and what
|
|
kind of vision breaks will keep them most productive and rested
|
|
> whats going on "under the skin" when their hands and arms spend much
|
|
of the day mousing and typing, and how they can apply that knowledge to
|
|
prevent overuse injuries
|
|
|
|
This is not a book of gloom and doom. It is a user's guide to
|
|
protecting oneself against health risks from the computer, while
|
|
boosting effectiveness and enjoyment of work. It is a most practical
|
|
guide, as well. As Caroline Rose, editor of the RSI Network said, "A
|
|
single one of its many useful tips can make a world of difference in
|
|
the reader's physical and mental well-being."

CALL FOR PAPERS, October 1995
|
|
|
|
_SPEED_ provides a forum for the critical investigation of
|
|
technology, mediaz and society. Our intention is to contribute toward
|
|
a democratic discourse of technology and media, one that is always
|
|
focused upon the material conditions of life that technologies and
|
|
media constitute and demand, and yet does not lose sight of the
|
|
power of ideas to change those conditions. We feel that as media of
|
|
various kinds become more ubiquitous, what it means to live with
|
|
and talk about a "medium" changes and expands, and so do the
|
|
critical vocabularies of interpreting what those transformations
|
|
indicate. Our primary goal in that effort is to foster a cross-
|
|
fertilization of ideas between communities of people in the
|
|
"academy" and "industry" too often separated, not by interest or
|
|
common concern, but by artificially imposed disciplinary and
|
|
organizational boundaries. We think that _SPEED_ is a promising
|
|
step toward making these institutional boundaries more permeable,
|
|
and a critical politics of "mediated sociality" more powerful.
|
|
|
|
Upcoming issues for which we are currently reviewing abstracts and
|
|
submissions:
|
|
|
|
SPEED 1.3: AIRPORTS AND MALLS
|
|
|
|
Publicity, it seems, is always a matter of circulation. Likewise,
|
|
circulation finds itself as a matter of publicity. What then is the
|
|
circulation of publicity in a "private space," like a mall or airport?
|
|
Where is the social located, if at all? Is it completely a matter of
|
|
trajectory, velocity and disappearance; is it or is it not an even more
|
|
sinister militarization of what used to be called the "civilian sector?"
|
|
"Malls," whether near a highway off-ramp, or an "information
|
|
superhighway" off-ramp, are more than architectural generica, they
|
|
are nodes in the global circulation of commodities, culture and
|
|
community. Malls as "places," are where some people go to be
|
|
amongst the fruits of other people's invisible labor. "Airports" as
|
|
"places," are where some people go to be themselves circulated
|
|
amongst networks of global circulation, as the content of
|
|
transportation-as-medium. We are currently reviewing abstracts for
|
|
inclusion in a special transmission of _SPEED_ (non-fiction, fiction,
|
|
both; www-specific projects encouraged) that will help answer some
|
|
of these questions and conundrums.
|
|
|
|
SPEED 1.4: SPECIAL ISSUE: ON PAUL VIRILIO
|
|
|
|
We are currently reviewing abstracts and proposals for articles for a
|
|
future transmission of _SPEED_ (WWW-specific projects encouraged)
|
|
on the critical significance of the work of Paul Virilio. In extremely
|
|
diverse arenas Virilio's cybernetic systems theory of the social has
|
|
arranged the horizons of wildly unlikely moments of questioning.
|
|
As his vision of interpretation/accusation crosses the spectrum of
|
|
disciplinary knowledges (while being at "home" in none), we now
|
|
hear literary critics speaking of the military origins of the city-
|
|
state, newscasters phrasing a "Nintendo War," historians of science
|
|
commenting on the phenomenology of electronic banking,
|
|
architectural theorists conceiving "the velocity" of airport space,
|
|
and computer industry professionals discussing the political history
|
|
of the film projector. Certainly these peculiar arrangements are not to
|
|
be entirely credited to (blamed on?) Virilio, but they do suggest that
|
|
his vocabulary is significant beyond the relatively narrow concerns
|
|
of a "Virilio Studies." We hope, therefore, to both interrogate and
|
|
expand what it is possible to make "Virilio" say.

HOW TO GET _SPEED_
|
|
|
|
_SPEED_ can be accessed and/or downloaded several different
|
|
ways: 1) World-Wide-Web; 2) Anonymous ftp; or 3) Gopher.
|
|
|
|
1. To Get _SPEED_ via World-Wide-Web just open the following
|
|
URL from within your favorite Web-browser:
|
|
http://www.arts.ucsb.edu/~speed
|
|
|
|
2. To get _SPEED_ via Anonymous ftp just type the following at
|
|
your local prompt: ftp alishaw.ucsb.edu
|
|
|
|
--when asked for a login name type: anonymous
|
|
|
|
--when asked for a password type the first part of your e-mail
|
|
address. For
|
|
example: myname@nowhere.pcp
|
|
|
|
--change directories by typing: cd /pub/_SPEED_
|
|
|
|
--at the ftp> prompt you can type the normal "get" and "put"
|
|
commands. For example: get _SPEED_1.2 (or: mget* to get the whole
|
|
directory)
|
|
|
|
3. To get _SPEED_ via Gopher just type the following at your local
|
|
prompt: gopher alishaw.ucsb.edu (you can also type in the IP
|
|
address directly as follows: gopher 128.111.222.10)
|
|
|
|
Once there, you will see the familiar Gopher menu structure with
|
|
_SPEED_ being one of your options. At that point you can choose to
|
|
browse individual items, or mail them to yourself and/or others.
|
|
|
|
(You have to Gopher directly to us because the Social Science
|
|
Computing Facility at U.C.S.B. where _SPEED_ is archived is not a
|
|
registered Gopher server. That's why if you happen to be looking
|
|
for _SPEED_ over your regular Gopher server you won't have much
|
|
luck finding it. _SPEED_ uses roughly a 65-character line, so your
|
|
margins should be set accordingly. Set your font type to Courier, 9pt
|
|
if you want to retain formatting after downloading.)
