Station Rose LIVE
Audio-visual Performance
"At their live performances, Station Rose creates "a virtual room within a
room" by means of sound and projection surfaces. This room consists
exclusively of sound, beams and projection surfaces onto which visuals are
thrown. The images & sounds are downloaded and edited live on the computer.
The live music consists of sound samples from the digital archive of
Station Rose. The techno live-artist moves her/his studio to the "stage"
for the performance and creates new variations on sequences, new tones,
temporal structures and loops in realtime. The graphic- and
music-workstation are synced over MIDI. Changes will take place during the
performance, thereby changing the aesthetics of the virtual light & sound
space." 	Station Rose 1992

INAUGURAL SEASON PROGRAMMING AT AUSTRIAN CULTURAL FORUM TO PRESENT A 
MULTI-FACETED VIEW OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS


Throughout the inaugural season of Spring/Summer 2002, programming at 
the Austrian Cultural Forum will encompass events in the performing 
arts, a series of exhibitions, vanguard film and video programs, 
lectures and symposia, and installations in a variety of new media 
throughout the public spaces of the institution's new building on 
East 52nd Street in New York City. Bringing together more than 100 
artists in a variety of disciplines, these activities will be 
presented from April through June under the banner Transforming 
Modernity. In the words of Forum director Christoph Thun-Hohenstein, 
the festival will "illustrate what the guiding principles and 
priorities are for the future of the arts in Austria and 
internationally: collaboration, interdisciplinary experimentation, 
fluidity, and conscience directed toward challenging accepted notions 
and exploring possibilities for new ways to communicate."

Transforming Modernity is organized and produced by the Austrian 
Cultural Forum in collaboration with leading curators and experts 
from international arts institutions and universities. The Austrian 
Cultural Forum's programs are made possible by the Federal Ministry 
for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Austria. Additional generous 
funding for inaugural season programming is provided by the Federal 
Chancellery and the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and 
Culture of the Republic of Austria as well as by the City of Vienna. 
The Forum also thanks Bank Austria, Austrian Airlines, 
Oesterreichische Nationalbank, and Zumtobel Staff Lighting, Inc. for 
their valuable support.

In the field of the visual arts, the Forum will officially open its 
Main Gallery in April with the first of two new commissioned 
installations by Kurt Hentschl=E4ger and Ulf Langheinrich, collectively 
known as Granular Synthesis. The New York/Vienna-based new media duo, 
whose work represented Austria in the 2001 Venice Biennale, will 
create in April an "immersive environment" that literally envelopes 
visitors and suggests new ways to experience one's body in relation 
to space and sound.

Describing the duo's work, Hentschl=E4ger comments: "For an Austrian 
artist, the desire is to actually invade the restrictions of the past 
and expand the definition of art, of music, of sensual experience. 
Electronica is hot in Europe because it provides the ultimate 
opportunity to get beyond the hierarchies and the obsession with 
history that defines much of traditional culture there. What's 
interesting is that a great deal of inspiration for electronic music 
came from America -- from the Detroit sound, from hip-hop, and the 
commercial world. But when we bring our work back to the States, 
where generally anything new is cultivated and tendered, we find we 
are introducing something still not widely familiar."

Concurrent with the first Granular Synthesis installation, the 
Austrian Cultural Forum will host an ambitious international 
symposium exploring the electronica explosion. Titled Mediations: 
Archaeologies and Transformations in the Electronic Sphere, the 
program is organized by Timothy Druckrey, an independent curator and 
writer acclaimed for his investigations into the history and theory 
of media. The event will bring together for the first time a group of 
electronic artists and leading media experts from around the globe 
for discussion of ways in which representation and communication are 
being increasingly transformed everywhere by electronic culture, 
shaping the lives and attitudes of a generation willing to embrace 
continual transformation as an essential condition.

Key participants in the program will include:

Siegfried Zielinski, founding rector of the Kunsthochschule f=FCr 
Medien in Cologne, Germany and author of AudioVisions.

Yukiko Shikata, independent curator working in Japan.

Reinhard Braun, media theorist and writer working in Graz.

Peter Rantasas musician and director of MICA (Music Information 
Center Austria). Vienna, Austria.

Knowbotic Research (Yvonne Wilhelm, Christian H=FCbler, Alexander 
Tuchacek), based in Cologne and Zurich.

Perry Hoberman, an artist internationally recognized for his 
multi-user interactive environments.

Granular Synthesis, (Kurt Hentschl=E4ger and Ulf Langheinrich), widely 
known for spectacular sound environments.

0100101110101101.org, a working group of self-described as internet 
"hacktivists."

Zoe Beloff, an artist working in experimental cinema, CD-ROM and performance=
=2E



The symposium will take place on April 20 and 21 from 12 - 9 pm at 
the ACF. For more information and registration information (seating 
is limited!): www.acfny.org.

Cary Peppermint's CONDUCTOR NUMBER ZERO VERSION 6.0 is the latest in his
ongoing series of interactive, real-time performance-installations or
"techno-lectures in continuous update."  In the artist's own words, "CN_ZERO
could be considered a hyper-construction of a 'recombinant pop-star', i.e.
an ARTIST who functions as a latent carrier for art (the construction of
culture) instead of the commercially constructed artist, i.e. the POP-STAR
who functions as a latent carrier for capital and exchange (the leveling of
culture)."

Using multiple halogen work-lights, surveillance cameras, monitors, a
portable p.a., a Polaroid camera and a laptop computer, CN_ZERO is in
essentially a performative "base camp" for human media-saturation.  An
"overexposure in light and sound",  CN_ZERO is a performance that questions
the very conditions of possibility for cultural production.

Subject: Amiri Baraka and Dj Spooky - at the Knitting Factory this weekend...


Hello All - I'm just writing to do the old school e-mail thang
when there's an event etc etc. This weekend I'm doing a show
with the legendary poet Amiri Baraka at the Knitting factory
this Saturday as part of the "Beat Festival" they're putting
together, and well... it's a jam that's all about cross-generational
dialog, rhythm exchange, digital media and word painting... you
know, the usual wildstyle stuff I'm into...  stuff like that.
Me and him collaborated on a couple of tracks a while ago, and
this is a re-union. There's also going to be some amazing folks
sounding off: 

Daniel Berard Roumain - on of the main composers at the Harlem
Conservatory will be playing violin, and the renowned new generation
poet, Carl Hancock Rux will also bless the mike... and there
will be various guest appearances from jazz and hip-hop heads
and all sorts of "electronica" types for an ILLbient jamdown...
so come on by. The event starts at 8 pm, and this will be a blazin'
hot situation, so come early... 

regretfully, due to the amount of attention given to the show,
my guestlist is maxed out, but I bet there's still some tix around.
If you're in the area, come on by, there'll be lots of folks
from different scenes hanging out.


The Date: This Saturday coming up - the 13th no less...
tix in advance are 
$13 

at the door
$15


aight y'all!
peace,
Paul

+++CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS+++
URBAN DRIFT - 2002
OCTOBER 16th-20th 2002

++symposium +++ nightscapes +++ urbaninterfaces

URBAN DRIFT is a network for the development of trans-cultural urban 
strategies.

Over the past 3 years, URBAN DRIFT has formed part of the berlinbeta 
media festival, as a symposium which offers a platform to cutting-edge 
architects and designers for whom the city is a medium, and architecture 
a communicative tool for new urban strategies.

++The network represented by URBAN DRIFT++
Concentrating on urban voids, gaps and residual, or peripheral zones and 
public spaces, members of URBAN DRIFT act as tacticians for a 
contemporary urban praxis, developing a discourse within Berlin as one 
of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is to communicate architecture 
and urban design to a wider audience, to extend the boundaries of 
architectural discourse, and to maximise the potential of 
interdisciplinary practice. We speculate on the need to point the way to 
contemporary architectural practice and urban design as the steering and 
managing of processes; on the need to move from formalism to flux 
management.

++URBAN DRIFT 2002++
This year urban drift is a 5 day event with a rich mix of talks and 
presentations by day, screenings, thematically based visuals, lectures 
and sound-scapes by night, along with open offices, in which 
architecture and design studios engage with the urban drift themes and 
reveal innovative hybrid spaces and working methods.

++planned location++
The event is set to take place in the Umspannwerk, a 19th century power 
station in Berlin-Kreuzberg, which has recently been renovated as a 
location for large-scale cultural events.

++conference++
Mobile cultures and new urban strategies

The two-day conference will examine the impact of mobile 
telecommunications systems and media on architecture and urban design 
strategies. We will involve artists, architects, designers, theorists 
and activists in mutual discourse.

CONFERENCE THEMES

++ Technical Mobility:  Interaction design; the design of flows++
an examination of the impact of interactive and embedded technologies on 
contemporary design processes in architecture and design in the urban 
sphere.
++ Mental Mobility:  Network urbanism++
an exploration of new coalitions between architects, artists, designers 
and urban planners. How is the role of the architect and designer 
adapting to the demands of network practice, and “flux management”, and 
what tools are being employed to visualize increasingly complex, 
multi-layered urban processes?
++ Mobility vs. place:  Re-humanizing technology and connective 
urbanism ++
How do architects and designers recreate a sense of place and counteract 
the speed of the media-driven cityscape? On urban voids, the reanimation 
of residual urban spaces, and on re-engaging the public in urban design 
processes.
++ Tactical mobility: effective Strategies for the redevelopment and the 
repoliticisation of public spaces,
“architecture is threat management” – Mark Wigley
a discussion amongst architects and media tacticians with relation to 
urban space. On “flexible response”, on intervening in and changing 
perceptions of the cityscape. On architecture as a medium.

++call for papers++
We welcome abstracts and short papers for inclusion in the conference 
and accompanying presentations. We also welcome relevant texts and 
essays for inclusion in the planned publication and the web site 
(textzone).

Please send abstracts of about 300 words – to: info@urbandrift.org 
+++when+++ initial proposals should reach us by April 30th 2002.


++URBAN DRIFT_THE NIGHT SPACE++
The space will provide a temporary, transformational and flexible 
situation for artists, architects and designers to present their 
proposals and investigations within a more informal setting.

Communicating an “emotional urbanism” and drawing from the situationist 
dérive, Urban Drift’s night space will encompass…talks, readings, slide 
projections, screenings and urban soundscapes.

+++themes+++urban futures – real and virtual, shopping malls and garage 
settlements, the alchemy of urban narrative, urban nomadism and mobile 
technologies that foster a restless, edgy urban perspective, 
psychogeographies, scanning/mapping the city, displacement, and 
peripheral urban zones, in short, the ‚inexhaustible inventory of the 
streets‚ (Benjamin)

++CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS++
We welcome the following from urbanists ++ video works for 
screening@umspannwerk, slide shows, proposals for readings, 
performances, sound-pieces++
++ posters++ will form a significant part of the night-space… we welcome 
polemic, statements and images dealing with the above mentioned themes.

EMAF. Das steht fuer European Media Art Festival, eines der
groessten Medienereignisse weltweit. In diesem Jahr unter dem
Motto "New Images - New Stories - Art in Modern Media".
Vom 24. bis 28. April 2002 wird Osnabrueck zum wichtigsten
Treffpunkt für Fachleute aus Kunst, Kultur, Medienwirtschaft 
und für ein großes, interessiertes Publikum.
Als Forum für internationale Medienkunst zeigt das EMAF
Filme, Videos, Performances, multimediale Installationen
und digitale Medien wie CD-ROM, DVD und Internet.
Produktionen international renommierter Kuenstler werden
ebenso vertreten sein, wie innovative Arbeiten junger
Talente. Darunter viele Welt- Europa- und Deutschland Premieren.

   Die Programme:
   - Int. Auswahl: Film und Video
   - The Virtual Actor
   - New Asian Cinema
   - Underground Zero- 9.11.
   - Ausstellung: "Es. das Wesen der Maschine"
   - Kongress
   - Electronic Lounge
   - Student Forum
   - Performances

//Akkreditierungsformulare unter www.emaf.de
//Anmeldeschluss 15.04.02//

Begleitend zum Festival zeigen wir vom 24. April bis 20. Mai eine
fesselnde Ausstellung unter dem Titel "Es. Das Wesen der Maschine:
Robot- und Maschinenkunst von Louis-Philippe Demers & Bill Vorn
(Québec/Kanada)" in der Kunsthalle Dominikanerkirche.

Den cineastischen Rahmen des Festivals bildet das internationale
Film- und Videoprogramm, eine Autorenretrospektive sowie
spannende Sonderprogramme. Insgesamt werden ca. 200 
Filme und Videos gezeigt. Darunter experimentelle Kurz- und
Langfilme, poetische Videosund Videoclips bis hin zu
unterhaltsamen Flash-Animationen. Ein Spektrum, das umfassende
Einblicke in die zeitgenoessische Kunst- und Medienproduktion
vermittelt.

Geografischer Schwerpunkt ist die Medienszene in Asien und
speziell in China und Korea. Die dortige Filmszene ist im
Aufbruch begriffen, nicht zuletzt eine Folge der politischen
Liberalisierung und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, wodurch
eine neue selbstbewusste Kunst- und Kulturszene entsteht.

Unser Special beschaeftigt sich mit dem "Virtual Actor".
Filme, in denen statt realer Menschen am Computer entstandene
Figuren, bzw."menschliche" Akteure in virtuellen Umgebungen
agieren. Dabei verschwimmen die Unterschiede zwischen dem
Realen und dem Virtuellen zunehmend. Theoretisches dazu gibt
es auf dem Kongress zu hören.

Eine umfangreiche Retrospektive ist dem Kanadier Al Razutis
gewidmet. Dessen Oeuvre reicht vom Experimentalfilm bis hin
zu medientheoretischen Texten. Seit Anfang der neunziger
Jahre arbeitet er zugleich mit 3D-Videos.

"Underground Zero" lautet der Titel einer spannenden Film-
dokumentation zu den Ereignissen nach dem 11. September,
den das EMAF als Europapremiere zeigt. Eine Woche nach den
Terroranschlaegen riefen die amerikanischen Filmemacher Jay
Rosenblatt und Caveh Zahedi über 150 Experimental- und
Dokumentarfilmer an, um sie zu bitten, einen Beitrag für ein
Filmprojekt zu machen, das sich auf dieses Ereignis und
seine Nachwirkungen bezieht.
Dieses Thema greift, neben vielen weiteren Fragestellungen,
auch der Kongress mit dem Beitrag "Urban Collisions: New York"
auf. Darin wird die visuelle Darstellung der Geschehnisse
nach dem 11. September analysiert.

Gemeinsam mit deutschen Universitaeten und Akademien
praesentiert das Student Forum aktuelle Produktionen aus aller
Welt. Kooperationspartner des EMAF in diesem Jahr sind unter
anderem die Bauhaus Uni Weimar, die FH Mainz sowie die FH Hannover.
Spannung verspricht die Preisverleihung. So wird im Rahmen des
Festivals der Preis der Deutschen Filmkritik für die beste
experimentelle Film- und Videoarbeit vergeben. Und mit dem
OLB-Medienkunstpreis des EMAF werden richtungsweisende Medien-
Installationen ausgezeichnet.

Sie sind herzlich eingeladen, mit uns ein spannendes und
zugleich facettenreiches Programm zu erleben.

EMAF stands for the European Media Art Festival, one of the most
extensive media events world-wide. This year's motto is
"New Images - New Stories - Art in Modern Media".
>From 24 to 28 April 2002, Osnabrück will be the most important
meeting place for specialists from the fields of art, culture
and the media economy, as well as for wide interested audience.
As a forum for international media art, the EMAF shows films,
videos, performances, multimedia installations and digital media
such as CD-ROM, DVD and the Internet. Besides productions by
internationally renowned artists, the works of young innovative
new talents will also be presented. Including quite a number of
world- european- and german premiers,

   The programmes:
   - Int. Film and Video selection
   - The Virtual Actor
   - New Asian Cinema
   - Underground Zero - 9.11.
   - Exhibition: "It. The nature of machine"
   - congress
   - Electronic Lounge
   - Student Forum
   - Performances

//Accreditationforms at: www.emaf.de //until 15.04.02//

To accompany the festival, we are showing a gripping exhibition
entitled "It. The nature of machine: robotic and machine art
by Louis-Philippe Demers & Bill Vorn (Québec/Canada)",
from 24 April to 20 May in the art gallery Domenican Church.

The cinematic framework of the festival is the international
film and video programme, an author retrospective, as well as
exciting extra programmes. A total of approximately 200 films
and videos will be shown, including experimental short and
long films, poetic videos, videoclips and entertaining flash
animations. A wide spectrum providing extensive insights into
contemporary art and media production.

The geographic emphasis is placed on the media scene in Asia,
and in China and Korea in particular. The film scene in these
countries is currently in the process of changing fast, in part
as a consequence of political liberalisation and economic
development, leading to the emergence of a new, self-confident
art and cultural scene.

Our special subject deals with the "Virtual Actor" - films in
which computer-animated figures or'human' actors, rather than
people, act in a virtual environment. The differences between
thereal and the virtual worlds are increasingly blurred.
Theoretical aspects related to this subject will be discussed
at the congress.

An extensive retrospective is dedicated to the Canadian Al Razutis,
whose oeuvre range from experimental films to media-theoretical
texts. At the beginning of the nineties, he also started
working with 3D videos.

"Underground Zero" is the title of a tense film documentation
on the events following 11 September, which the EMAF will
be showing for the first time in Europe. A week after the
terrorist attacks, the American film-makers, Jay Rosenblatt
and Caveh Zahedi, called over 150 experimental and documentary
film-makers, in order to request them to contribute to a film
project concerning this event and its aftermath.

This issue, among many others, is also dealt with by the
congress in the form of thecontribution entitled
"Urban Collisions: New York", in which the visual representation
of the events after 11 September are analysed.

In collaboration with German universities and academies,
the Student Forum presents brand-new productions from all
over the world. EMAF's cooperative partners this year
include the Bauhaus University of Weimar, Mainz University
of Applied Sciences, as well as Hannover University of Applied
Sciences.

The award ceremony promises to be full of suspense. The
Deutsche Filmkritik prize for the best experimental film and video
oeuvre will be awarded during the festival. The OLB Media Art
Prize of the EMAF will be awarded to future-oriented media installations.

We warmly invite you to experience an exciting and multifaceted
programme with us.

Nationwide Whirl-Mart Ritual Resistance on Big Business Day.

Principle Contact:
breathingplanet@hotmail.com or 518-573-7947

Over the weekend of April 6 and 7, independently organized Whirl-Mart 
troupes in 10 locations across the U.S. will enter superstores and silently 
push empty carts for an hour

Locations and local contacts:
Troy/Albany, NY  breathingplanet@hotmail.com

Big Business Day consists of a consortium of independently organized actions 
and performances in protest of the ways in which Big Business is taking over 
every aspect of peoples’ lives, eliminating choice, broadening inequality, 
and destroying democracy.

Whirl-Mart is a worldwide ritual which happens on a monthly basis and will 
coincide with Big Business Day in April.  Participants gather at superstores 
and form a chain of people  who push empty carts through the aisles.  A 
Whirl may seem to be no more than an absurd and chaotic infiltration of 
peoples’ usual shopping space, but it is intended to be a symbolic 
statement.  It is symbolic of the will to resist consumerism and 
advertising, despite being saturated in it mentally and physically (as one 
is inside a superstore).  As a form of protest, it is unique because of its 
silent meditative qualities.

Of course, there are many reasons to protest the domination superstores.  
These corporations systematically destroy small business practice, and in 
doing so, destroy consumers’ options. They rely heavily on sweatshop labor.  
They have been known to wrongfully acquire land.  Many have been attacked 
for poor employee treatment in addition to maintaining an anti-union stance. 
  The participants of Whirl-Mart acknowledge all of these malfunctions of 
the superstore model.  Moreover, we consider the superstore to be a 
superlative symbol of an ideology founded on values of imperialism, 
exploitation, and competition, namely capitalism.  They oppose these values 
in our thoughts and in our dreams because they do not represent a 
sustainable future for the living systems of planet Earth.  Through 
Whirl-Mart, we come together to collectively create a physical and artful 
manifestation of peaceful resistance.

Around the country and the world people are focusing their anti-consumerist 
energies and their situationist desires on forming Whirl-Mart Consumption 
Awareness Teams and organizing rituals.  These foolish ceremonies will serve 
as a monthly reminder of overconsumption, encourage people to think about 
their own rituals of consumption, and offer people the opportunity to 
express resistance in a unique and satisfying way.

To learn more about Whirl-Mart, visit www.breathingplanet.net or call to 
request a press packet or digital resource CD.

You are invited to participate in _Checking the Re:combination_, a 
multimedia project of collaborative sound + vision production, that will 
come to an end with a 3-night experience in the production and 
recombination of social, moral, and political issues in a wired world.The 
experience will be developed in an alternative format: the sounds and 
pictures that will be used in the intervention will be collected through 
the internet. You can collaborate just sending your movie clips, images or 
sound files attached by e-mail to: recombo@manguebit.org.br; texts articles 
or questions can be send from the website (www.manguebit.org.br/recombo). 
All the collected material will be collected an recombined during the 3 
days long Abril Pro Rock Festival (www.abrilprorock.com.br), when the 
audience physically present will intervene in the installation. Texts 
produced for the event and chat rooms will be available at the website. The 
main goal is to develop a democratic and decentralized participation of all 
rather than the usual one-speaks-for-all.

The live on-site experience will be held at Pernambuco Convention Center, 
Recife, BRAZIL, during the "Abril Pro Rock Festival", April 19-21, 2002.

((The "Netzwerk Neue Medien", a Berlin based network of people interested  
in new media politics and the shaping of the information society, closly  
working together with the Heinrich Böll Foundation (http://www.boell.de)  
is organizing a workshop / conference on digital information property  
rights on Friday 26th, April 2002. Conference language is german, so I  
think it is ok not to translate it.))


Digitales Urheberrecht

Zwischen "Information Sharing" und "Information Control" - Spielräume für
das öffentliche Interesse an Wissen?

Konferenz der Heinrich Böll Stiftung und des Netzwerks Neue Medien
Freitag, 26.April 2002, Berlin, Galerie der Heinrich Böll Stiftung

Mehr Infos unter http://www.netzwerk-neue-medien.org oder
www.wissensgesellschaft.org

Bis Ende 2002 muß die Europäische Richtlinie zum Urheberrecht in die
nationale Gesetzgebung der Mitgliedsländer umgesetzt werden. Das ist kein
abseitiges Thema, denn hier wird die Infrastruktur der entstehenden
Wissensgesellschaft verhandelt und über die Richtung der gesellschaftlichen
Modernisierung entschieden. Worin besteht das öffentliche Interesse an der
durch das Urheberrecht regulierten Infrastruktur der Wissensgesellschaft?
Wird diese die Handlungsspielräume der Menschen für die öffentliche
Mitteilung geistiger Produkte, für kooperative Formen ihrer Erzeugung und
ihrer gesellschaftlichen Anerkennung erweitern? Oder verengt sich der
Handlungsspielraum, weil die Menschen nur noch als kaufkräftige Kunden und
als AnbieterInnen von Waren und Dienstleistungen in den Blick kommen? Geht
es bei der Sicherung von Ansprüchen auf geistiges Eigentum vorrangig um
Modernisierung im Sinne der Durchsetzung einer leistungsfähigen
Informationswirtschaft oder bieten sich Chancen für individuelle und
gesellschaftliche Wohlstandsgewinne auch jenseits des Marktes?

find employment for everyone, a place for everyone! If you decide on an=20
engagement we congratulate you here and now! But hurry so that you get in
before=20 midnight! At twelve o'clock the doors will be shut and never
opened again! Down=20 with all those who do not believe in us! Up, and to
Clayton!

A great many people were certainly standing before the placard, but it=20=

did not seem to find much approval. There were so many placards; nobody
believed=20=

in them any longer. And this placard was still more improbable than
usual.=20=

Above all, it failed in an essential particular, it did not mention
payment.=20=

If the payment were worth mentioning at all, the placard would certainly
have mentioned it; that most attractive of all arguments would not have
been forgotten. No one wanted to be an artist, but every man wanted to
be=20 paid for his labours.

Yet for Karl there was one great attraction in the placard. "Everyone is
welcome," it said. Everyone! That meant Karl too. All that he had done=20=

till now was ignored; it was not going to be made a reproach to him. He
was=20 entitled to apply for a job of which he need not be ashamed, which,
on the contrary,=20=

was a matter of public advertisement. And just as public was the promise
that=20=

he too would find acceptance. He asked for nothing better; he wanted to
find=20 some way of at least beginning a decent life, and perhaps this was
his chance.=20 Even if all the extravagant statements in the placard were
a lie, even if the=20 great Theatre of Oklahoma were an insignificant
travelling circus, it wanted = to engage people, and that was enough. Karl
did not read the whole placard=20=

over again, but once more singled out the sentence: "Everyone is welcome."

phonoTAKTIK.02 - The social construction of technology
Vienna, May 28th - June 2nd 2002

We welcome every approach to create music that contributes to the=20
development
of ideas about
- - Tools
- - Technology
- - Community
- - Communication
- - Art
- - Roots
- - Discourse/Reflection
- - or other dimensions that we may not have even dreamed about yet


The budget allows us to host 50 physical persons, best treatment and
fee guaranteed.

To identify, which contributions will be presented at which *slots*
we will set up a procedure that involves
the network of the global music community.

If you want to involve yourself or you music please visit the website
www.phonotaktik.at between April 17th (12p.m. MEZ) and April 21th
(12 p.m. MEZ).

This is not a competition or a call for applications. we strongly=20
believe the
21. century should be welcomed as the age of cooperation: nobody should=20=

win
against others because nobody should loose in this world. we all =
together
should become winners in the end.

We decided to use this approach to broaden our scope and to share the=20
results
with everybody. A single individual perspective even of the most gifted=20=

curator
may not be enough anymore to identify the State of the Art today.

We are aware that the music world is not a community of equal persons.=20=

artists
with well developed names and a higher market-evaluation have to protect
themselves for simple professional reasons. Many of us are used to be
booked via agencies or their labels. But we want to remind everyone that=20=

we
respect all creative expression regardless of market-value, peer-group-
ranking or other indicators.  Thus we express our hope that at least=20
even the
busiest among us find a way to be still with us.

As it was said,
everyone is welcome,

phonoTAKTIK.02


The idea of phonoTAKTIK has been shaped by contributions of many great=20=

artists,
newcomers and stars, as the idea of music as a whole and you never know=20=

where
the seed of the next big tree is already blooming. So thank you to all=20=

that we
had the pleasure to meet at phonoTAKTIK so far

At a street corner Karl saw a placard with the following announcement:
