BERLIN will host a physical reunion, a séance, workshop, conspiracy, residency, and eventually a performance. During their one-week residency at _____-micro research [berlin], the networked Æther9 members will meet in physical space for the first time to redefine the evolution of the project, develop technical applications, and re-experiment with new ideas which will explore the scenographic potential of the medium. The foundations being distributed authorship, cross-platform, and 'remote’ performance of streaming audio and visual material to a nomadic HTML interface. This event of live performances and video streams from vast locations will take you to ‘the unexpected’ - a hyperdrive through space and inter-zones. At the heart of the Æther9 project is the desire to fulfill the "old" utopian dream of borderless communication. No frontiers. Developed by an online networked group of international visual artists/collectives working through Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and into the Americas, Æther9 is a matrix for video/audio performance, and collaborative hybrids of post-dramatic processes particular to these new modes of digital communication. Using both “new“ and “low-tech“ technologies within multi-disciplinary art practices, Æther9 aims to break the boundaries of spatial and cultural distances to democratize the artistic voice within communication technology. The term of “reality-jamming” catches the effect generated through this wildly dispersed yet intimate collaboration of live sounds and images whose fragmented glimpses of individual philosophical positions and immediate surroundings transition across the global network in one cross-planetary embrace. http://www.1904.cc/aether [rupert goldsworthy gallery, Alexandrinenstrasse 4, 10969 Berlin] ---_______ Background: Workshops led by field-expert practitioners extend over realms of code and embedded code, environmental code, noise, transmission and reception, and electromysticism.
