Telephony’ Visitors can dial into a wall based grid of 42 Siemens mobile telephones, which in turn begin to call each other and create a piece of 'music.' Each phone has been individually programmed with a different ringtone. The more people who dial into the work, the more layered the audio becomes. Biographies: Jon Thomson & Alison Craighead have been working with video and sound since 1991. More recently they have been exploring the possibilities of the Internet and screen based multimedia to create navigable or user led environments. Many of their internet-based works seek to manipulate existing data (websites, sound tracks, ring tones) in surprising, critical and humorous ways. The latter often engenders a feeling of estrangement in the visitor. Recent exhibitions include 010101 Art in Technological Times’ at The Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco and Art & Money Online’ at Tate Britain. Jon Thomson studied BA Fine Art in Leicester and PG diploma Electronic Imaging at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and currently lectures at The Slade School of Fine Art in London. Alison Craighead studied painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and is currently a researcher into web specific art at the University of Westminster.

Nevertheless, we have been familiarized with similar images through blockbuster disaster movies in which national monuments such as the WTC, the White House, the Statue of Liberty and the Pentagon feature as terrorist targets. ‘Wiretap 7.13: Urban Collisions: New York’ analyses the visual representation of the attacks of September 11th in New York from a cinematic, architectonic and cultural-symbolic point of view. Jutta Zaremba (D) Media theorist, researcher at the Department of New Media, Goethe University Frankfurt ‘MEDIA-SCRAPING: The Media-Arts´ Presentation of New York Skyscrapers’ How are skyscrapers presented in media-art? Which cultural and urban myths do they perpetuate or debunk? Birgit Richard (D) Professor of the Department of New Media, Goethe University of Frankfurt ‘9.11. and the Culture of Shifting’ What happens when sets of fictitious images which were accepted for decades (think of movies like ‘Independence Day’) are replaced by ‘real’ images? What is the effect on our view on images?
