Focusing on the creation of a new public context for technological art, the salon will explore strategies for trans-disci- plinary collaborations at the intersections of aesthetics and intimacy, technology and politics. Through the projection of work beyond the confines of a Western cultural lens, direct interaction with an erratic process of media speculation place art into the role of surrogate cultural negotiator. 12 H Majdl Hadid, Diana Mardi: TRANS4M ORCHESTRA When the landfill becomes the source with which to reflect upon the state of being in a restricted society, its material objects, textures and their interpretation become a sociopolitical archive. An image frozen in time attesting to a precarious way of life caught within a seemingly hopeless diplomatic quagmire. 13 H Julia Meitzer, David Thorne: SPECULATIVE ARCHIVE The projects of Meitzer and Thorne are centred on state secrecy and the production of the past. Current works address the use of documents - images, texts, objects, bodies, and physical structures - to project and claim visions of the future. 14 H Manu Luksch: FACELESS: OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS OF THE SURVEILLANCE APPARATUS 'Faceless' peers into an eerily familiar city. Using footage from CCTV, the project points to the omnipresent gaze of electronic surveillance. 15:30 H Spy vs. Spy: SHARON DANIEL’S PUBLIC SECRET AND ROBERT HILBRICH’S TERROR DETECTION ALGORITHMS 'Public Secrets’ is an interactive interface to an audio archive of statements by current and former prisoners, which unmask the secret injustices of the criminal justice system in the U.S.A. Exploring the constructs of electronic networks encompassing one 's personal contacts and social behaviour, trackable digital traces are created. In theory by doing so it is also possible to locate terror cells ... but can the system avoid those within the 'margin of error'? 16 H Christoph Wächter, Mathias Jud ZONE INTERDITE AND PICIDAE.NET The authors of 'picidae.net' have been dealing with the concealed, obstructed and confidential areas of restricted military, industrial and political areas since 2000. Employing global networking and local participation strategies the tools of the ‘Zone Interdite' platform are creating a truly visible world map.
