Liquid Cities - Parkbad 3. - 6. 9. Parkbad/Hallenbad daily 13.00 - 17.00, with buffet lunch		Underwater sound environment generated via Internet. The indoor pool of the Parkbad is transformed into a "fluid" interactive 3D space. Visitors plunge in and explore a transparent city which is built by virtue of the sounds made by its "inhabitants". Not only an acoustic, but also a culinary delight awaits. Concept: Michel Redolfi/F
Rückspiegel zur Realität 3. - 5. 9.

Chill Out - Final Event 6. 9. Posthof 20.30 The Emergency Broadcast Network - EBN/USA		"Media are a weapon," says EBN front man Josh Pearson. And he means just that, as the performance of the five media guerillas from Rhode Island proves. They point this weapon at those who normally wield it. Politicians, television companies and time and again the military are the target, the victims, of the brilliant video samplings of EBN. With hard beats, brutal cutting and an uncompromising live performance, EBN shows the way forward to a pro-active attitude in the age of information that not only challenges the image of the media, but can also transform it.
