LIGNA proposes with its work a different perspective: We have to get rid of the technical reading of Brecht and recognise that his critique was meant in a social and political way. Only as an apparatus of distribution, radio could organise it's listeners and thus intervene in everyday-life situations - and thus could provide means to overcome a society that is based on the exchange of commodities. The lecture will discuss this thesis and it's aesthetical implications with a lot of examples and images of Ligna’s work. saturday 18/11 – 8.30pm more info: http://www.okno.be/index.php?id=977 stream on http://qt.okno.be:8000/Ligna.sdp or on okno’s homepage http://okno.be ************************ [RT- 32] Acoustic Space Lab – a project by RIXC media lab (Lv) screenings on wednesday, thursday and saturday after the live performances.
