Radio TNC decontextualises and recontextualises symposium discussions
and transmits them in the Design Center Linz via portable and fixed
radios. The programmes of Radio TNC can be heard in the web as real
audio live streams.
SOS RADIO TNC Beusch/Cassani's media fiction plays with the myths
surrounding the Web and invites the Internet community to solve the
mystery of a serious Web crash, in which the stars and webmasters of
Radio TNC, Mike and Coal, have disappeared without trace into the
labyrinth of the network. They are the recipients of the first
interactive cyber-memorial in the world, which will be solemnly
dedicated during the Festival. Inscriptions can be engraved on the
memorial via a Public Engraving Site (PES).

SoundLives - The House of Sond
2. - 6. 9.
Ars Electronica Center,
Design Center Linz, Network
Winfried Ritsch/A
|
|
Sounds wander in the form of independent data groups autonomously in the
network, form communities, reproduce, mutate and disappear. The basis of
their "existence" is computers linked via a data network. With the aid
of the software The House of Sound, users can listen-in to this sound
world and exert an influence on it by so doing. They are thus observers
and nurturers at the same time. In collaboration with the Institut fuer
Elektronische Musik der Musikhochschule Graz.

What happens when a living organism takes up residence in the Internet?

which could make it possible to intervene in the life-space of the
dweller in the
Internet.

The technology-tourist is evasively assimilated into a trap configured by the etoy.GANG. In this labyrinth, the fascination of manipulating and hacking the search systems becomes The Story.*
With an action lasting four months, etoy demonstrated the *space* behind the popular interfaces of the World Wide Web. The weak points in the system and the twilight zone of the medium formed the place of action. Search-server databases became a stage for self-presentation. etoy.SOFTWARE AGENTS controlled the systematic illusion and hijack of hapless net-travellers: 250.000 art-hostages in March
1996.
