You are reading the seventh issue of the Ars Electronica 2002 newsletter, focusing on electrolobby - TransIT Room.

.............................
1. electrolobby - TransIT Room
.............................

Ars Electronica has been conducting open X and electrolobby in conjunction with the festival since 1996 as an experimental series dedicated to net.working in which exemplary models designed to facilitate the encounter with the (artistic) practice of new cultural techniques are given a test run.

electrolobby-TransIT Room is the continuation of this series in conjunction with UNPLUGGED. The aim is to collaborate with other initiatives to not only create presentations for the festival in Linz but also to establish structures that operate simultaneously at other locations and continue beyond the timeframe of the festival.
(September 8-12, 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM, Brucknerhaus)

Participating initiatives
SEARCH: The Trinity Session, _sanman, The | PREMISES
KOP <Kingdom of Piracy>
Mulonga - The Loop: tonga.online

.............................
2. SEARCH
.............................

SEARCH is portraying protagonists of the emerging digital urban culture in Johannesburg and Capetown. Digital culture in South Africa is developing at a rapid rate with digital activities responding to the international corporate counterparts that have been taking ownership of spaces such as the web. The concept of SEARCH is a workshopping, discussion and collaborative production platform that first starts in South Africa extends to Linz and returns as a network of relationships and collaborations to South Africa.

SEARCH is developed by The Trinity Session (Stephen Hobbs, Kathryn Smith, Marcus Neustetter) from Johannesburg and will be realized in conjunction with _sanman (Southern African New Media Art Network) and The | PREMISES.

3. KOP <Kingdom of Piracy>
.............................

KOP is an online open workspace that explores piracy as the net's ultimate art form. The project includes links, objects, ideas, software, commissioned artists' projects, critical writing and online streaming media events. It is intended as an open-ended online exhibition; artists and authors will remain sole copyright owners of their works.
Co-Curators: Shu Lea Cheang, Armin Medosch, Yukiko Shikata
Project producer: Ray Wang; Project coordinator: Mia Chen

4. Mulonga - The Loop: tonga.online
.............................

Archived for 45 years, historical recordings of Tonga Ngoma Buntibe music are returning - via streaming from Grahamstown/ZA to Linz/A  and via shortwave radio broadcasting from London/UK - to the  territory of Zambezi River Valley. These historical files, mediated through technology and commented on via telephone are recirculated and reframed in contemporary Tonga culture. As both a broadcast event and website, the Loop is based on the interplay of seemingly obsolete and hightech media and underlines that global communication has to be considered as a process of uneven development.
