INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC COMPUTER LINKS DURING CONFERENCE
During the time of the Sixth International Conference in SanFrancisco, public-access computer terminals in Amsterdam, New
York, San Francisco, and possibly other locations will provide
AIDS information and international communication. Easy-to-use
Apple Macintosh computers will allow members of the public to
read pre-prepared AIDS information, to read messages entered in
any of the different cities, and to enter their own messages.
In Amsterdam the Seropositive Ball, "a comprehensive
cultural and political manifestation for people with and without
AIDS," will organize live meetings, as well as access to the
international computer network, at the Paradiso cultural center.
Currently the sites planned for public-access terminals are:
* Amsterdam: Paradiso; Time Based Arts Gallery; Academic
Medical Center; Vrolijk Bookstore.
* New York: Simon Watson Project Space; New York
Hospital/Cornell Medical School.
* San Francisco: Marriott Hotel; Capp Street Project; San
Francisco General Hospital. (The sites in San Francisco will be
organized by 69 Hours/On Line Against AIDS.)
The Seropositive Ball will include Art On Line for AIDS, and
also the International Conference on the Alternative Use of
Technology for AIDS (ICATA'90). The three-city international
computer network described above is scheduled to run from June 21
to June 24. Any Apple Macintosh computer with modem and disk can
connect to this network; volunteers are needed to support these
computers in various locations. If you have Macintosh experience
and would like to assist or would like the software to connect to
this network, please contact one of the people below.
