[Nettime-bold] Expand - Call for participation

[Mari Keski-Korsu <mkk@students.llaky.fi>]

Call for Participation

Expand

Date: 25.5.2001
Time: 1900 - 0100 (GMT+2)
Base location: Meteori Cafe, Helsinki, Finland
Cyber Location: http://www.uiah.fi/~mkk/expand (at the moment)

Organizers: Students of the Media Lab at the University of Arts and
Design Helsinki, kide.org, musicians, artists, and other individuals.

The Expand concept is to bring different kinds of creative people
together to participate in an open-platform happening for experiments
and new experiences. The happening will be organized simultaneously
in different club spaces as well as in the Internet space. The basic
framework of the happening will be pre-formatted but it will be
flexible and open to changes and spontaneous actions during the
course of the actual event. Included will be different types of music,
sound and video art, performance, and collaboration.

The participating club spaces will be connected to each other via the
Internet using (Realmedia and mp3 streaming). This will enable the artists
to
cooperate or perform "together" at the same time in different
locations. There will also be an open IRC channel (and iVisit room) for
those who cannot physically
be in the club to participate and webcams for remote observation of
the venues.

Expand is now looking for more participants. The basic idea is to
have constant connection between clubs but it is possible to also
have individual musicians or artists to join through the Internet
connection. Already planned or existing events may also be a part of
Expand in the way that it's not necessary to create totally new club
for it. People contribute the event with audio/video streaming
technologies.
There is also the possibility to join an ongoing project called Tram'n'Bus
which deals with city
identity through music made out of the sounds of public
transportation.
