'Drawing on his first-hand knowledge of technology, Klif savours going back, to the history of the medium, manipulating in unexpected ways the screen itself as the main instrument. The reality of physical space and the virtual one exist in parallel; in a space shattered with screens we exist in both at the same time. The result is not schizophrenia, but pleasure. The dimension of uniqueness, in which the main role is played by the principle of coincidence, and the sensation of freedom that it creates with its electronic ambiences, offer the public the royal space that they deserve.'
(Radmila Iva Jankovic from the text of the exhibition catalogue, 2005)

The "International Networking System for Unified Long-distance Advanced Radio" was conceived in 1999 as a worldwide open and decentralized radio network for the transfer of secure data in the high frequency range (1 MHz - 30 MHz) using digital HF communication. A stable communication flow is ensured through the use of the PACTOR 3 protocol and the existence of an autonomous infrastructure aimed at making users independent from the existing proprietary telecommunication infrastructure.

Interaction, Interactivity, Interactive Art - a buzzword of new media under scrutiny »
04.09. | 10:00-19:30 Uhr
Brucknerhaus
'Interactivity' has become virtually a magic word for the promotion of new media and the media arts alike. The term refers not only to a certain technology, it also stands for social concepts and visions ranging from grassroots democracy all the way to consumer freedom. This imbues the term with its broad-ranging impact, but also contributes to its dilution.
