Listening to data – reading NN

Brno, Saturday October 15th: N3krozoft Ltd representative M. Schmalstieg has been directing a collaborative reading workshop, “Listening to data”, in the frame of the 3rd Czech-German symposium Media Performance 3.

N3krozoft Ltd representative M. Schmalstieg gave the audience a glance on the ongoing Kontinuum N+N net.art memory project. The talk was followed by an impromptu reading session, where participants joined their voices in an attempt at decyphering some of the mailing-list fragments and hypertext manifestos that where disseminated during the years 1995-2003 across the infosphere by the antiorp / integer / =cw4t7abs entity.

Sources of the text fragments:

Kontinuum N+N is an ongoing research and documentation around a distributed personality that haunted the global electronic networks during the years 1999 to 2003, polarizing the online community with her radical software experiments before escaping into digital oblivion.
