Die Kunst der Migration: Von Sesshaften, Nomaden, Luftmenschen und Gesamtkunstwerken [the art of migration]
With nearly 60 million migrants, the EU has established itself as a region which in the 21st Century is expected to absorb more immigrants than the traditional immigration-country, USA. Many involved in this process see increasingly themselves in situations that go through or blow up the solidified socio-historical context / perceptions / views.
Breakthrough is created as an experimental 12 hour event distributed across Berlin locations, inter-network and radio space. Self-organising nodes construct an event occupied with the dislocation of representation [language, software], time and space, and maintained with a strict scheduling and interrupt system backbone (micro-FM and Internet).
