Run Motherfucker Run!
Artist: De Nijs, Marnix [nl] The installation combines 'expanded cinema' with interactive media art. The visitor is no virtual navigator, but has to explore the movie with full physical involvement.
Spatial Sounds (100dB at 100 km/h)
Artist: Van der Heide, Edwin [nl], De Nijs, Marnix [nl] An interactive audio installation. 'Spatial Sounds' (100dB at 100km/h) builds up a physically tangible relationship with the visitor, since it is the game of attracting and repelling between machine and visitor that determines its sound and movement.
Stationsraum für assimilativen Zahlwitz
Artist: Kubli, Thom [de] In a white room, ten cubes are placed symmetrically on the floor. The objects are made out of yellow gelatine. Each of them contains a voice coil from which audio-signals - spoken numbers from one to ten - are emitted. |

88 from 14.000
Artist: Miceli, Alice [br] The video-installation shows portraits of victims of the Cambodian Pol Pot regime, which were taken upon their entrance into a death camp.
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist
Artist: Teppe, Eva [de] Teppe's shots originate from a TV documentary about so-called 'Castellers', Spanish athletic groups that attempt to outdo each other in forming the highest pyramid of people. Eva Teppe researched the split seconds when the pyramids collapse using documentary material from archives. She reproduced and digitised the shots and finally abstracted them by means of a variety of digital techniques. The apparently simple statement of the title sentence, a citation by the linguistic philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, is broken down and becomes interpretable as a metaphor.
Gravicells
Artist: Mikami, Seiko [jp], Ichikawa, Sota [jp] In the centre of the installation space is a 6m x 6m floor composed of 225 units of cell-like grids with built-in sensors. The moment a participant stands and moves on it, the variation of his or her position, weight, and speed is automatically and continuously measured, analyzed, and reflected on sound, LED light and geometrical images, generating substantial spatial changes.
naked bandit/here, not here/white sovereign 3.0
Artist: Knowbotic Research [de/ch] Knowbotic Research's ‘naked bandit/here, not here/white sovereign 3.0’ focuses on the mechanisms of detainment of so-called ‘unlawful enemy combatants’ who can be regarded as ‘here’ and, at the same time, ‘elsewhere’, not anymore on the territory of the nation state, and thus banned, stripped off from the legal framework which the nation state guarantees (‘naked bandit’). The project investigates the mechanisms of such an inclusive exclusion and the inherent formations of power. By remodelling these specific formalisms in software code the artists are able to offer different possible scenarios for the liberation of the ‘naked bandit’. It's obvious that the solution cannot be applied on the prison situation. However this tension of the hypothetical is crucial to the aesthetics of the work.
Shockbot Corejulio
Artist: 5voltcore [at] Shockbot Corejulio is a robot-arm which is attached to a computer. Here, the robot-arm not only receives command-signals from the computer, but gets the computer to produce short-circuits inside itself. From this interaction, a series of images is produced in which the original monitor-signal is deconstructed.
Suburbs of the Void
Artist: Köner, Thomas [de] In Thomas Köner's 'Suburbs of the Void', the image of an intersection surrounded by houses is seemingly devoid of life. There are no street signs - not even a billboard in sight. We are given no clues as to the whereabouts of this location. However, a few lit windows and occasional traces of light on the street, allows us to anticipate the presence of human life.
The Living Room
Artist: Fang, Victoria [us] A murder has taken place and the killer must be found. In Victoria Fang's intricate installation, all three moveable panels with LCD-Monitors can be shifted like a puzzle pieces around the room.
Untitled 5
Artist: Utterback, Camille [us] ‘Untitled 5’ is the fifth interactive installation in the ‘External Measures’ Series, which Utterback has been developing since 2001. The goal of these works is to create an aesthetic system which responds fluidly and intriguingly to physical movement in the exhibition space. |

Chic Point: Fashion for Isreali Checkpoints
Artist: Waked, Sharif [ps] The most salient feature of Palestinian life has become the Israeli-imposed check-points. ‘Waked’ deconstructs the humiliation of Palestinians having to strip in order to pass through these borders. Employing all the conventions of a fashion show, models reveal their abdomens in outfits designed especially for this purpose.
Human Rights / The New Subject
Artist: Locher, Thomas [de] Rules and laws are continually being newly defined. Thus, the UN Human Rights Commission broadens and specifies terms so to justly come to terms with current social and political situations. The Berlin-based artist Thomas Locher uses large-format photographs accompanied by articles, which exemplify inaccuracies in the words and morals of human rights declarations.
Life: A User's Manual
Artist: Teran, Michelle [ca/nl] A documentary of Michelle Teran's live performances in the streets with a surveillance camera scanner, broadcasting the collected images on a TV monitor.
Public Discourse
Artist: Hansberry, Tim [us] 'Public Discourse' is an in-depth study of illegal installation art. The primary focus is on the painting of street signs, advertising manipulation, postering and guerrilla art, all performed illegally. Shot in the classic cinéma verité style using compact mini-dv and video 8 cameras, 'Public Discourse' follows the art-making from initial idea through to exhibition.
The Catalogue
Artist: Oakley, Chris [uk] Oakley's video work deals with the retail environment. It places the viewer into the position of a remote and dispassionate agency, observing humanity as a series of units whose value is defined by their spending capacity and future needs. |

Public Netbase
Artist: Becker, Konrad [at] The Vienna-based net culture group 'Public Netbase' has been carrying out art and culture projects addressing the complex transformation of society in the information age. An info box provides some examples of a novel cultural practice that takes part in the social production of meaning through artistic interventions in public space. These projects are expressive of a struggle for a public space, and the consequent political conflicts have always been part of Public Netbase's reality. |

Analog Robots
Artist: Noth, Sebastian [de], Faubel, Christian [de] 'life-like' electromechanical artefacts that can walk...
Living Particles / Nervous Networks - Sensible akustische Module
Artist: Schreiber, Ralf [de] 'Living particles' is an audio kinetic installation that consists of many different electronic modules, which are suspended from coloured elastic bands and together form an organic system. The appearance of the whole installation represents the internal electronic structures of each module. The energy is shared and fed back into the system. The signals from the grouped modules interact amongst themselves and with the sounds of the environment. The result is a turbulent surface full of chaotic motions, vibrations, undulations and small sounds, superimposing, enhancing or interrupting each other.
Organisms/Specimens
Artist: Ormezzano, Florence [fr] In the presentation of 'Organisms/Specimens', with its comical pseudo-scientific research environment, the fiction is all encompassing. It proposes to imitate nature, only after first having imagined it and splurges in invention for an improved imitation of nature, or the lack of it.
Ornamental Bug Garden 001
Artist: boredomresearch [uk] Behind a small glass slab hanging on the wall, an aesthetic ecological system works as a living kinetic painting. Below a dangling set of branches, generated with Lindenmayer algorithms, is a delicate ecosystem generated by rules of Turing machines and cellular automates. Tiny shapes jump around and onto each other, spores explode, and bubbles float like pollen. Combining elements from video games, pachinko machines, and ornamental gardens, the mixture that ensues is one of apparently organic elements with unapologetically mechanical bugs. As OBG´s colonies of machines catapult around their garden, collisions trigger sounds and compose an incidental sound piece. |

Game Music
Artist: Todorovic, Vladimir [yu] 'Game Music' treats a video game environment as a space for music production, sampling, processing, and performance. It attempts to create an ideal situation that is free from the hyper-governmental power embedded into video games.
Left to my Own Devices
Artist: Thomas, Geoffrey [us] 'Left To My Own Devices' is a continuation of a series of web-based narrative experiments. Game segments take inspiration from a range of emotional states associated with loss.
Pongmechanik
Artist: Roy, Niklas [de] Pongmechanik is an electro-mechanical reproduction of the original video game classic Pong. While digital games produce increasingly realistic virtual images, this computer game is comprised of the simplest components.
Snakes and Ladders
Artist: boredomresearch [uk] 'Snakes and Ladders' shows how a simple board game can be rebuilt as a visual programming language. Each square on the board is set to equal a note on a synthesizer that will play when a counter lands on it.
The Angor
Artist: Roser, Fabian [de] This web project seeks to illuminate the discrepancies between the values of our contemporary society and those demanded of the practicing Catholic, through an on-line game. |

Chessmachine
Artist: Pavlov, Ivan [ru], Chartier, Richard [us] Based on the game of chess, where for decades the matches progressed via courier-correspondence between adversaries separated by great distances, the two composers have been exchanging musical moves with the goal of convincing the other of each moves' aptness.
Desperate Attempts at Beauty
Artist: Colley, Joe [us] Joe Colley's sound composition reconciles two extremely different fields: he samples pure organic phenomena and abstract electronic sound.
Early Set
Artist: Gintas.K [ lt] The music of Gintas K can be described as 'noise' or 'microsound'. However, his aim is to transcend the limitations of style and instead to focus primarily upon investigating the physical effects of sound on the human psyche. As a result, Gintas K utilizes sine waves, expressive synthesized tones, noises and complex rhythmical structures to create surprisingly non-mechanistic but rather organic and flowing sound experiments.
Weather Report
Artist: Schaefer, Janek [uk] New weather sounds are collected through various recording devices which are floated into the air via balloon. The result is a hybrid documentary of 'found sounds' collected and edited entirely outdoors.
