The shifts:
Open Hardware (12-4PM):
Audio representation of chaos
An open workshop with Noise//sound artist Jessica Rylan working on circuit boards to elaborate a slowed down audio representation of chaos. The shift will explore the difference between chaotic and random systems.
2) Ludic Society:
NORDLICHT BLITZ play
Mehr Licht to Dark City.
In a certain time-slot TAZ (Hakim Bey), a live coded and live played street concert "enlightens" some streets of Piksel Bergen by revealing its invisible architecture. Transformed into LIGHT and DARK "Blitzing" sounds. Those are emitted by blinking Game-Console screens and circuit-bent electronic Little Trees. Players carry small sound-amplifiers on their belts. A firmware flashed Nintendo DS is running in stealth mode by constantly sensing the playground and its hooked up "Little Tree" serves as electromagnetic sniffer alliance. The Wunderbaeumchen or Little Tree starts to LIGHT_UP with ultra-bright fired LEDs? when held over RFID TAGs? which are spread throughout the city. Based on Cabala sequences RFID-Numbers generate SOUND on the DS Light. The numbers and sounds are transferred to the new Openlayer overlay Online Map of RFID-Judgement-day.com play - performed as Black and White Satellite map. Clip on stage and street!
Blitz-light play-gadgets consist of a flashed NintendoDS? connected to a self etched electronic Littletree. This combinatory machine becomes a War driving access-scan tool to define play clouds in an aerea and an absurd circuit board which is used to read RFID tags found.
MICROSCHEDULE NORDLICHT BLIZ PLAY
"each House is your game-Console-just place a TAG!"
(level 1 allready starts the day before- the LS team will tag the city and define play clouds with the help of a sniffer-sound-software on the DS! we will fotograph and tape this. level2: some players will allready place TAGS on certain buildings- AND warchalk on the houswalls - on locations where RFID tags are placed)
THE EVENT day:
- 2 pm . introduction to the DS and self etched little tree Readers. explanation of THE game... and how its coded. socially coded.. etc.
- 3:00 start of the PUBLIC LEVEL 3: Nordlicht Bliz HERO Live coded concert
- people go out and FIND the TAGS in the city with the help of the homebrew DS-sniffer software and
- 3:30-till 4:00pm LIVE CONCERT on the streets of BERGEN-
FOR THIS LIVE PLAY we would need a CAMERA eqipment with a Long cable - may be still connected to the EVENT LOCATION_ the record of the street performance SHALL BE LIVE TRANSFERED to the stage
Interface: (4-8PM):
3) Yunchul Kim, Roman Kirchner, Olaf Val
From hardware and chaos elaborations to interface exploration, Roman Kirschner, Yunchul Kim and Olaf Val attempt to shift the world interface to include magic. Potential side effects include volcanic eruptions, according to local EM presence. Bring a gold coin
World as interface
Otto Roessler reveals the power and cruelty of the rationalist project as first invoked within a dream of Rene Descartes. Through elaboration of endophysics, a science of interiority, the world as interface is implemented within potential practical, scientific and artistic experiment.
Code: (8-12PM):
5) Tatiana Bazzichelli, Paolo Cirio, Shu Lea Cheang, Stewart Home
Working group for an elaboration of pornographic code
Mapping out an advanced circle of manias, the pornographic code working group examines active strategies, device fetishes within the becoming-code of pornography.
6) Final compilation and execution (all).
Final execution: A compilation with all participants and audience in the tradition of the appalling Summer Stock (1950 with Gene Kelly and Judy Garland). The total apparatus, constructed and assembled during the previous ten hours, will be rendered executable and thus active.
The life coders will work continuously throughout the 12 hour event, instructing, structuring and restructuring the event.
The life coders:
Nancy Mauro-Flude, Martin Howse, Jonathan Kemp, Alejandra Perez Nunez, Eva Verhoeven
