Presentation of Cellular automata as a tool for organic / automatic / generative / evolutive computer music in Kunstraum Walcheturm during DORKBOT SWISS has been a complete success. Much has been discussed, many question raised and overall atmosphere full of organic and organizational interferences.

Presentation ‘Digitalorganica’ was held on Friday 28/09/2007 at 21 h and will most definitely stay in history as first topless DORKBOTSWIS. Anna’s project ‘Suck my tits’ went with much admiration and references.

Karel Kulhavy had presented VGA lamp, twibright optar, excite, projects that will stay in our memory as a pillar stones for bright new ideas and reciprocal effectiveness in modern data storage, energy efficiency and recycling.

A cellular automaton is a group of cells that evolves only by nearest neighbor interaction. They are thought to be able to represent the evolution of living organisms and minerals. It is usually assumed that every cell in the universe starts in the same state, except for a finite number of cells in other states, often called a configuration. More generally, it is sometimes assumed that the universe starts out covered with a periodic pattern, and only a finite number of cells violate that pattern. The latter assumption is common in one-dimensional cellular automata.

Croatian and Brasilian representatives that are developing the initiative for permanent exchange in free and open culture have met in Karlovac at the festival ‘Nepokoreni Grad’ on 24th of August 2007.

Representatives have exchanged presents of good will – pirated copies CDs and DVDs with local content. This exchange of pirated media is an attempt (from Greek peirān: to attempt) to establish permanent exchange in media, knowledge and creativity.

Party with international guests was held afterwards where death of Evil Tony was celebrated. You can read more about this event on MMKamp blog.

‘Deconstruction is in fact much closer to the original meaning of the word ‘analysis’ itself, which etymologically means “to undo” — a virtual synonym for “to de-construct.” … If anything is destroyed in a deconstructive reading, it is not the text, but the claim to unequivocal domination of one mode of signifying over another. A deconstructive reading is a reading which analyzes the specificity of a text’s critical difference from itself.’
Barbara Johnson (1981)
(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconstruction)

The letterists do not create scandals: they break the conspiracy of silence.
truths which no longer entertain become lies
THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THESE WORDS WILL BE IGNORANT OF THEIR IMPLICATION
DEMOLISH SERIOUS CULTURE
ABOLISH TRUTH
CHOOSE ALIENATION
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.
