The radio is German again

So we are having another German radio day. Please tune in and try on another flavor of radio. It is a crazy mix of Bau auf, Bau auf and Freddy Quinn and Nina Hagen to Bluemchen and Stefan Raab. There is even the DragonBallZ theme from German television. I like to think of it as Germany through the years, hahaha.

To tune in simply click on the link Elmwood Online Radio under the userPic. Alternatively, you can click this

THE FILMS:

THE THIEF OF BAGDAD

(Diane Nerwen, video, color, 5 mins)

In The Thief of Baghdad (2003), Diane Nerwen continues her practice of appropriating arresting imagery from film and mixing it with politically charged dialogue. Condensing the beauty and exoticism of the mystical capital of Baghdad, she slips in a newly realized paradigm of domination. As in much of her work, Nerwen explores the allure of place, film's ability to reflect and create desire, as well as the conceit that the video's images and soundtrack are part of same narrative.

IMAGES OF THE WORLD AND THE INSCRIPTION OF WAR

(Harun Farocki, 16 mm, 75 mins.) German with English subtitles.

The German-Egyptian filmmaker Harun Farocki is one of the most influential documentarians alive today. His thought-provoking work is not as much about events and people as it is about ideas and mechanisms in a larger cultural context. A meditation on vision and power inspired by photos of Auschwitz taken by American bomber pilots during WW2, IMAGES OF THE WORLD creates striking, deeply meaningful connections between military reconnaissance and the state of the world.

Our New Web Radio Station

We have finally gotten our radio station up. We are going to be scheduling talk shows in the coming week. I will post them all in a journal called radio. If you have any ideas or would like to have a show on the web, we can arrange that just email me paul@elmwoodstrip.com

You can find the link under the elmwood picture to the right. Its called Radio Free Elmwood. Once you click it will download the streaming mp3 fiel to the desktop. I find it works really well with iTunes for Mac and PC. iTunes is a free player available from

It also works with winAmp and Audion player and I'm sure many others.

I had my brother test this on his dial-up at home. It seemed to work fine.

Here is a shortcut to that link:

War and Media Conference at UB

Our very own Holly from elmwoodstrip has designed a page for the War and Media Conference being held at UB

The University at Buffalo's Department of Media Study presents the War & Media Conference on UB's North Campus, Center for the Arts, Nov. 17-18.

This international conference confronts the relations between war and the media from an array of cultural, artistic, and academic perspectives—with a special focus on the media coverage of the recent war in Iraq. The two-day conference will feature three panel discussions, each of which will be composed of distinguished speakers from around the world presenting on issues pertaining to their specific areas of expertise.
