Public Killer Satellite Service Public space, one could say, is dominated by the law of conquering. Nobody would deny that politeness ends where two anonymous persons all of a sudden share a piece of public space for longer than, say an average elevator ride. This only changes when there is an outer enemy that forces everybody to identify with each other, enjoying together the chill of alien intrusion. This is an unbearable situation and as a solution the muli-player ego-shooter game was invented. Of course in most cases this type of game is only a one-to-one transcription of the idea of concurrence, which everybody understands easily, but in some cases the situation breaks open and reveals the paradox of the topology of public space. In order to give a faint echo of that feeling together with the homely atmosphere of a face-to-face interstellar space battle, Hamburg University has installed a hyperspace killer satellite that anyone can use to try out the newest weapon technology available. Bandwidth is responsible for the rather poor though realistic audio quality feedback you can hear at about five to ten seconds delay due to the structural distance. You can also upload soundfiles (.wav format) and play them online to share increased individuality. the service will be running on 1st Dec., from 23 pm cet for a couple of hours and on specific request. the ip: http://134.100.176.30/ http://telenautik.de http://swiki.hfbk.uni-hamburg.de:8080/Institut/118 paste into your real audio player: pnm://real.musicaliens.de/live/garage.rm for a chat: http://swiki.hfbk.uni-hamburg.de:8080/Funk/25 Technical Specifications: Using javascript and cgi, a Delphi application converts the user input to open sound control mesages that are sent to the SuperCollider killer satellite application. The audio ouput is broadcast by a real audio server. -- ___. ................. . * **** ***** . institut fuer telenautik . * * * . http://telenautik.de . * **** * . irc: #telenautik ( irc-fu-berlin.de ) . * * * . 93,0 Mhz fsk terrisitc radio in hh . * * * . tune in ! .................
