Klangwolken Miniatures, some inspiration
Die Klangwolkenminiaturen sollen möglichst viele Leute dazu anregen, sich mit verschiedensten Klängen auseinanderzusetzen.

On Telecommunications Data Retention by Peter Burgstaller
The law in force since April 1, 2012 that requires public telecommunications service providers to record data about network users’ activities including their geographic location when such activity occurs and to store that data for a period of six months is difficult to reconcile with our constitutional guarantees of the confidentiality of personal data and…

Prix-Jury 2012, Michael Doser, Oy vey vey!
In 2009, Munich’s “Haus der Kunst” organized a huge show of his works (www.hausderkunst.de/hdk.de/index.php), almost all of them on a monumental scale. The show is very impressive, and many of Ai Wei Wei’s questions and reflections are thought-provoking (the catalog is an excellent compilation of these), but there is an undercurrent in the exhibition and…

Ich seh, ich seh, was du nicht siehst
Earlier this year, there was a pretty impressive wave of protests in Europe and the US. The bone of contention was SOPA/PIPA/ACTA, proposed legislation that would have a wide-ranging impact on how we use the World Wide Web, and all in the name of the law and for the sake of crime prevention.

New technology shall create something new! Pierre Boulez 2010: “It’s like architecture: In that moment, when you not only work with wood, stone and concret, but with steel, glas and other materials, you have many more possibilities.” While judging 640 (Music) submission for the ICMC2000 (International Computer Music Conference) I didn’t listen to a lot…

Prix-Jury 2012, Michael Doser
What’s a scientist doing, mingling with the artists, and trying to blend in with a group that some consider at the antipodes to his own tribe? An opposition characterized by rationality vs. instinct, by thought vs. emotion? Not so fast… C.P. Snow had it wrong at a fundamental level: the two cultures permeate each other;…
