-
- - Communication Art enyos global communications media with networking
capibilities,
- includes mass media as an instrument of both form and content,
- separates itself from definitions of art bound principally or exclusively
to material production,
- tends to distance itself from definitions of the artist as an isolated
genius and as someone of exclusive individuality; it favors the artist
as an inventor and architect of communication events and as organizing
and catalytic force,
- targets (inter)action, communication, demands an active public, a landscape
of participants,
- is wholistically oriented in that it demands of aethetic levels different
meanings simultaneously and in that it unites single individuals into a
team at social levels,
- supports a global, a universal identity and relativizes local, regional
and national identities,
- brings into play with it an ethical dimension important for current survival,
- is in no way only - though certainly - a dazzing (mass) spectacle, but
rather a practical example for conscious employment of the senses and for
a position of global responsability

- WITHIN A NETWORK NOBODY
CAN BE A FOREIGNER
- Global Network Project, Köln December 3 and 4 , 1993
- Background for the project was the rightist extremism in the Federal
Republic of Germany which is , in recent years, proceeding with increasing
brutality against non-Germans. The project took a stand decisively against
this developement. Precisely in an era in which global communication with
the capacity to eliminate borders are available to everyone, a posture
of drawing up radical nationalistic borders has to appear anachronistic
as well as absurd.
- The project offered everyone participating, wether in Cologne or elsewhere
in the world, the opportunity to experience and understand that the distance
between home and another country can be as short as one single step.
- Pupils from Goetheinstituts, colleges, high schools and other educational
institutions throughout the world discussed topics like image of Germany
abroad, as communicated by the mass media, phenomena of discrimination
in other locations in the world and spontaneously exchanged information
on every day life.
- This communication with 28 locations worldwide
was initiated by Cologne via telephone calls and intensified
by a parallel communication using two further telematic channels: fax and
e-mail.
- Following reports of participants, the the project reached one of its
important aims: to give participants the feeling that this world is very
small and that telecommunications eliminates distance, bringing partners
very close to each other.

- EURINOME'S GAMBIT / CHAOS IN ACTION
- EURINOME
-
- Eurinome is the Greek goddess of Chaos.According to the Pelasgian myth
of creation,in the begining Eurinome emerged, nude,from Chaos.Since there
was no solid place for her to put her feet, she separated the Sky and the
Ocean and, dancing on the waves, she made her way south. Her dance stirred
the wind which was something new,something different,and now Eurinome could
create.She rolled the wind between her hands and Ophion , the great serpent,
appeard.
- Eurinome's charismatic dance filled Ophion with desire. He coiled himself
around her limbs and,with the help of the wind ,united with her.She took
the form of a dove and brought forth the egg of the Universe. At hert her
request, Ophion wrapped himself seven times around the egg, from which
all that exists was born: the Sun,the Moon,the Planets, the Stars, the
earth its mountains, rivers, trees, and all living things.

- GAMBIT
-
- A chess opening in which a player risks one or more minor pieces to
gain an advantage in position.
-
- EURINOME´S GAMBIT / CHAOS IN ACTION
-
- is an interactive,creative multimedia event geared towards a world
without borders : a planetwide participation.
-
- Thessalonika, the host city of "Days
of culture 97" for Europe and other cities: Paris, Rome,
Skopie, Belgrade, Sofia, Istanbul, Bucharest ,Cologne . . . . would form
the initial net for a planetwide event the symbolic circle of the material/virtual
space and environment made more and more visible by today's technologies.
-
- Interaction increases energy and frees the spirit,guiding towards complete
flexibility.The author,together with a multiprofessional team present in
each of the participatiing cities,will initiate and record the continuous
transiormation that itself is the work.
- The participants can choose to be the possibility,and can choose freely
which possibility they wish to be. Going beyond all of our experience and
following our intuition we will take the risk of doing,feeling; the action
which is cause and effect,approaching the essence of chaos ,reaching the
magic place in ourselves from which the miracle is possible.
- The same means: internet, fax, mail , telephone,television radio word
of mouth...will be used both to invite people to participate and to enlarge
the initial circle by building the virtual space of the collective consciousness.
- The author will create an ambient,changeable installation in the real
space in Thessalonika, and from there will coordinate the work of the teams
in each city ,who will do the same thing. The teams will be composed of
people from different fields :arts and sciences,people open to experimentation
and new possibilities ,with the intuition and quick reflexes to initiation
and record the turning points of the change in flux, leading the action
in the direction of miraculous surprises.
- It will be indispensable to the success of the project to have the
cooperation and support of institutions which can provide access to the
most advanced communications technology. In each city,the team should be
provided with:computers with internet access and video conferencing,video
equipment, fax, telephones, photocopiers, photography, and the coordination
of radio and television.
