Camel
is 'Turkish' again!!!..
This is Camel's new ad. Not everybody knew that Camel used Turkish
tabacco. Now everybody does.
Camel is promoting a new campaign with a new
version of its cigarettes. This time the word 'Turkish' is up
front, in your face. A young and sexy woman with dark hair and
a touch of 'oriental' air is ornamenting the new ads.

Welcome
to Dergi the Magazine,
a new web publication dedicated to creating new material related
to the arts, politics, culture and new media.
This first issue of October includes an exciting essay,
DNA versus
HTML Coding and decoding in
art combining the fresh
issue of DNA and genetics with projections about the future
of the arts. Lisa Pasold joins us in this issue with her experimental
poem - In
Transit -
dealing with nationality and the sense of belonging:
| "you
go on a journey or a stranger comes to town: these are the
only two stories. and both are stories of place: where are
you? or why are you not at home?" |
There are also reviews of various exhibitions and interviews
in New York and Istanbul including an
Interview
with MoMa's film and video curator Barbara London.
Istanbul
Contemporary Art Museum has started displaying new works. One
of which is a tribute to the Earthquake
in Turkey which has killed and wounded many last year.(art

You may also find video, sound and experimental
text in DERGI. And every month you will find the first sentence
of a literary classic:
"In
the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself in a
dark wood where the straight way was lost."
The Divine Comedy
by Dante Alighieri, Canto I
