>One Island, One Dream< in Nightmarket

夜市工作坊自2006年夏天創立以來，每年聚集來自設計,科技,藝術,音樂,建築等等…跨領域地集合各科系不同領域的學子參與，針對”夜市”與”台灣文化”進行創作。今年以『街頭經驗』為題的夜市工作坊，由吳宜樺與阿麗莎.懷特兩位藝術家所帶領的團隊，二OO八年八月十六日晚間，在台灣台南市的花園夜市進行了『One Island, One Dream_愛台灣，去夜市唱國歌』的開放性集體行動表演。

Night Market Workshop focuses on the social context of the Taiwanese night market. It attempts to respond to it by organising creative activities since summer 2006 and participation is not limited to artist student but it opens up the participation to students from all kind of different disciplines as computing science, design, architecture, etc. The theme of this year is on Street Experience, which means that all the projects are presented and played in the night market with the intention to interact with people.

The Group lead by Paris-based artist Yi-Hua WU (TW) and New York-based artist Alyssa Wright (USA), has presented an open participative performance – < One Island, One Dream > on 16th August 2008, at 20h, at Garden Night Market in Tainan city, Taiwan.

Game-performance as a new paradigm

In London, artist as a dealer of thrilling experience in the public space, but not the police, not the pickers and stealer, not the terrorist… I always believe that people who lives in those megacities like London, Paris, New York, really needs some kind of city-psychotherapy like this. 

Hide and Seek is a festival of social games and playful experiences, running in London from the 27th to the 29th of June 2008. It will encompass everything from fine artists making location-based work to huge flashmob games within the public spaces of the Southbank Centre. This year sees projects from Blast Theory, Gideon Reeling, Momus, Jane McGonigal, and Coney, as well as parties, seminars, and a bunch of low-tech, high-fun games from the Sandpit.

The Radioballet

Man schreibt den 8. November des Jahres 2006. Unter dem Motto “Lasst uns gemeinsam Tanzen für eine freie Bildung!”, wurde auf dem Erfurter Fischmarkt zum Protest gegen die Einführung der Studiengebühren in Thüringen aufgerufen. Keiner stand still, alles bewegte sich. Man sagt, sogar der Alte Roland wippte zum Takt der Musik. Seht selbst – in einem Bericht von UNIcut. Entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem StuRa der Uni Erfurt.

ZOE AND BIOS

Foucault and Agamben over a Detournement of Bilal’s Immortel. 

gregor schneider, süßer duft

Just a very example as Wilfried Hou Je Bek explained:

In psychoanalysis the word psychogeography is used in relation to phenomena of location based hysteria: you are perfectly sane, you enter a particular room and within a split second you are stark raving mad. Only when this response is universally shared and not dependent on a random individual neurosis, this power of a room can be called psychogeographic. 

From the age of 16, Gregor Schneider (born in Rheydt in 1969) has been transforming the interior of the home he inherited from his father in the small town of Rheydt, Germany. A work in progress until 2007, he has constantly added new rooms, separated others, removed mod-cons, and blocked up windows, adding fake ones in their place. The result is a labyrinthine structure which he has entitled Haus u r (House u r). Occasionally, visitors are invited to spend the night there and share his personal space.
