Six plays in six different languages, simultaneously played out in the windows and rooms of a building at night

Each play has the same dramaturgical timeline but the context of the play/performance, will differ with each window.

The plays are watched from a building opposite, each audience member is equipped with there own telescope or binoculars, as they scan from window to window, the public create their own narrative lines.

Each performance space has its own live radio (i-pod radio) broadcast, transmitting the soundscape (which could be either soundscape or text) to a radio device that each audience member has. As the public track from performance to performance they are able to also tune into the matching soundscape.

a proposition by Martin Butler.

Is a “temporary monument” for the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, it will be created on the 9th november 2009 at 8 pm and will last for a total of 30 minutes.

This temporary monument will be created by a ” flash Mob” of approximately 47,000 people. Who will in a single line, recreate the 47 km of the berlin wall, that divided ” symbolically” the west and east of europe, along the exact route of the original wall.

The plan is to divide the route, where the original wall was, into several smaller areas . Different groups will be asked to appear at that particular area at a certain time.

With each group, group A, would then join group B, who would join group C etc, until the whole 47 km of wall that divided east and west berlin would be recreated.

The participants of the project will be asked to join , by making usage of social networking sites such as “facebook”, “myspace” and “twitter”.

The Girlfriend Experience is back online during the pixxelpoint festival in slovenia..

Pixxelpoint (www.pixxelpoint.org) is one of the most successful and renowned festivals of new media art in Slovenia and also abroad. Its purpose is firstly, to bring the information technology and new media art closer to the general public, and secondly, to raise awareness about a different potential to use computer among the young. In previous editions the festival had a big media response and over 3000 visitors visited it every year, so this is a challenge for the organizers to further expand it and trespass the boundaries of the gallery space which has become too small for all the projects which are to be carried out. The exhibition of new media art projects, as the central event of the festival will be mounted at City Gallery Nova Gorica.

come watch live at City Gallery Nova Gorica.
