Nano-Virtual-Sit-In

This Nano-Virtual-Sit-In is being performed on the 5th anniversary of
the war on Iraq. We have chosen biotech and nanotech corporations and
organizations as our targets, because their science is driven by the war
and drives the war.

While Monsanto’s weapons drop on the people of Colombia, order 81 in
Iraq guarantees their market there. Dupont is developing soldier
nanotechnologies. The Biotech Industry Organization thought they could
meet in San Diego without the massive protests that follow them, but
they were wrong. For more info on your local Nanotech corporations, see
this map.

The Electronic Disturbance Theater and the borderlands Hacklab call for
a virtual strike against these war profiteers on March 19th, 2008, in
solidarity with the Bay Area Direct Action to Stop the War and actions
in the street around the world.

Sun Run Sun_Yolande Harris

Sun Run Sun investigates the split between the embodied experience of location and the calculated data of position. A series of portable personal ‘instruments’, currently under development, transform satellite data directly into a sonic composition. This composition constantly varies in response to the changing location of the player as they move through their physical environment. The player/navigator’s experience of their own locational shifts are augmented by corresponding shifts in the electronic soundscape, as it is calculated/performed in real-time and played via headphones. Sun Run Sun explores the individual experience of current location technologies through a personal experience of sound. It seeks to (re)establish a sense of personal connectedness to one’s environment, and to (re)negotiate this through an investigation into old, new, future and animal navigation using sound.

The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries . All action takes place around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries . Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers’ produced by fleeting electrons . Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?
