More Dialtones (A Telesymphony) is a large-scale concert performance whose sounds are wholly produced through the carefully choreographed ringing of the audience’s own mobile phones. Before the concert, participants register their mobile phone numbers at a series of web terminals; in exchange, new ringtone melodies are automatically transmitted to their phones, and their seating assignment tickets are generated. During the concert, the audience’s phones are dialed up by live performers, using custom software which permits as many as 60 phones to ring simultaneously. Because the exact location and tone of each participant’s mobile phone is known in advance, the Dialtones concert is able to present a diverse range of unprecedented sonic phenomena and musically interesting structures, such as waves of polyphony which cascade across the audience. Dialtones was presented at the Ars Electronica Festival in September 2001, and at the Swiss National Exposition in May and June of 2002. Less |

Sometimes I like to pretend to be an Olenellus fremonti evolving into an Olenellus mohavensis, simply for the creative stimulation - although I usually cant walk for days afterwards. I've recently taken up an interest in amateur brain surgery, although i find it so hard to find volunteers. I enjoy socializing; but am equally happy with my own company; and can easily keep myself entertained for hours, both mentally and sexually. I'm fascinated by space, the universe, cosmology, quantum mechanics, string theory etc. and would love to go to space and see all the planets and stars and pulsars and supernova - I mean for real, not when I'm on mushrooms. I like to touch people, in their most private places, and make them giggle or cry. I like pretty things. Less |

The Firefox add-on China Channel offers internet user outside China to surf the web as if they were in China. Take an unforgetable virtual trip to China and experience the technical expertise of the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry (supported by western companies). It's open source, free and easy. And it's a good digital manifestation of the one country, two systems policy. I'm lucky enough to experience it without installing the add-on. Less |

A first-hand example of Disney's interest in avant garde and experimental work in animation. In 2003, it was rediscovered by Walt's nephew, Roy E. Disney,who took on the challenge of bringing the creation of these two great artists to fruition." also see: http://dali.com/ Less |

Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate. The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being. For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film. HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet. Less |

More PANOS FAKE ROADSIGNS is a collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls. The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think. This project has a delightful sense of humor, lots playful absurdity and a wonderful scale. Less |
