My project reacts to intellectual property laws and economics especially in the field of education. Providing a collection of mostly copyrighted texts on this subject (authorship, intellectual property, plagiarism, Open Source), it uses design tactics for inaccessibility, obfuscation and “fair use” to circumvent intellectual property and propose different legality levels of text display. Accessibility, in other words, is not only a matter of ergonomy, but of social rights.

70,200 samples in 33 seconds: nightmare for GERMAN RIAA. Art against copyright. If you want to register a song at GEMA (RIAA, ASCAP of Germany) you have to fill in a form for each sample you use, even the tiniest bit. On 12 Sept 08, German Avantgarde musician Johannes Kreidler registered – as a live performance event – a short musical work that contains 70,200 quotations with GEMA using 70,200 forms.

0xA is a band not made out of people, but objects and patches. Snippets of codes that bleeps and blinks are added and modified in the online repository, where it all began. As the repository grew, 0xA evolves with it. Aymeric Mansoux and Chun Lee have been the main contributor to 0xA since 2006, They have performed 0xA across Europe, North America and Asia in places like gallery, clubs and festivals. Duration: 20min

live circuitbending AV performance A performative piece for two actors in which they simultaneously constitute the instruments they play. Their bodies are connected to the electrical circuit of the instrument, exposing them to every audio and video signal produced in its primary (electric) form. The first performer creates sound using reverse connections (short circuits) at the soundboard, while the second one plays with the live image from three static cameras, two of them pointed at each performer separately and the third filming both of them together.

Both make up Gentlejunk and as LNT they do - Live Noise Tupi Sound und AV-Circuitbending Performances. Example: http://gentlejunk.net/2008/11/14/new-release-on-gentlejunk-co-netlabel-… Download: http://www.archive.org/details/LntSt.JohnTheFrog

[img_assist|nid=385|title=Pufination|desc=|link=node|align=none|width=350|height=234] Pufis represent microorganisms living in an open ecosystem, while the collection of objects functions as a sensitive sensory network. The visitor is subsumed into the artificially produced »biosphere« through active sensor-based interaction. Pufination is incomplete without interaction. There's no leading role, we're all just cohabiting. The project thus highlights our relationship to other life as an important factor to every individual’s own survival.

[img_assist|nid=255|title=|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=250|height=192] Der Robomoji ist ein Mikroprozessor gesteuerter, cocktailmixender Roboter, der völlig automatisch den köstlichen Mojito-Cocktail mixen kann. Metall, Druckluft und Elektronik geben dem Roboter genug Kraft für einen langen, elektrifizierenden Cocktailabend. Die Idee für den Roboter entstand anlässlich der Roboexotica 2002, die jährlich im Museumsquartier Wien stattfindet. Bei dieser Ausstellung wurde die Limettenpresse und das Transportband erstmalig präseniert.
