Open 6 (In)security

There is a yearning for security in today's public domain. The individual
and the community are increasingly demanding protection from and control
over the space, themselves and others. A society of control is looming,
but one lacking a clear idea about the nature and the origin of its
underlying fears. This cahier examines the consequences of the current
preoccupation with security for the public space and the visual arts. What
are the implications for the functioning of the public domain, for its
arrangement, design and experience? And how does this influence the task
and perception of art? From art, architecture, philosophy and politics
come theoretical and practical scenarios, proposals and visions that
expose something of today's security paradigm, advocate alternative
(conceptual) models or offer insights into the current ethics and
aesthetics of security.

Gijs van Oenen subjects the 'new securityscape' to a critical analysis.
Lieven De Cauter digs into the various strata of the new fear.
Sean Snyder presents images from his Temporary Occupation project.
Thomas Y. Levin looks at how artists deal with surveillance in the public
space.
Sven Lutticken reflects on the concept of a 'human park' in philosophy,
art and media.
Harm Tilman focuses on architecture in a society of control.
Mark Wigley analyses the issue of security in relation to the World Trade
Center buildings in New York.
Hans Boutellier wishes art would apply the brakes to the security Utopia.
Jouke Kleerebezem calls for vigilance in the information society.
Willem van Weelden discusses the re-start project in Kanaleneiland,
Utrecht.
Q.S. Serafijn shows multiple dimensions of the interactive D-Tower in
Doetinchem.
Mark Wigley dissects the abode of the Unabomber.

Open 7 Memory(less). Memory and commemoration in contemporary art and
culture

The modern design and perception of the public domain is to a large degree
determined by the tension between different memories - individual and
collective, old and new, indigenous and immigrant. This makes memory a
topical theme in the public domain, and its content, management and place
are in urgent need of renewed consideration. How can one actively make use
of the information that is stored in modern-day 'places of memory'? What
role does art play in this? Is collective memory even a possibility these
days? How can cultural heritage be made accessible without transforming
city and countryside into one big open-air museum? And what are the
implications of new media and digital storage technologies for the social
and historical processes of preserving and remembering?

Rudi Laermans analyses the modern-day 'heritage regime'.
Frank van Vree examines the role of the contemporary monument.
Cor Wagenaar advocates the introduction of time as an instrument for the
Belvedere Policy.
Wolfgang Ernst considers how the archive becomes a literal metaphor in a
digital culture.
Nico Bick photographed various archives.
Jorinde Seijdel takes a closer look at the visual archive of Bill Gates.
Sven Lütticken writes about the conspiracy of openness that is apparently
at work in the mass media.
Geert Lovink interviews artist and archivist Tjebbe van Tijen.
Artists' contributions from Joke Robaard, Nico Dockx, Hans Aarsman, Arnoud
Holleman and Barbara Visser.
Other contributions by Henk Oosterling, Brigitte van der Sande, Stef
Scagliola, Jordan Crandall and Paul Meurs.
