            <description><![CDATA[Coded loops created from found sound recordings (original sound recordings contributed by Bianca Calandra, Robert Curgenven, Somaya Langley, Michael Prior and Jodi Rose) collected in various cities and countries including (Berlin) Germany, (Sydney, Melbourne, Northern Territory) Australia and Poland.
These are the sounds of everyday life. Natural and man-made contemporary sounds reformatted into a set of codes. Codes that recall the many other codes we now deal with - pincodes, passwords, cultural codes, languages, morse code, braille etc. etc.

            <description><![CDATA[to download the large audiovisual files that have been ftp-ed up to the transitlounge server:

1. go to the location: http://www.transitlounge.org/audiovisual/
2. navigate to the directory (folder) that you need (all av files recorded in berlin have been put in the "berlin" directory, all av files recorded in melbs has been put in the "melbourne" directory etc etc)
3. once you have located the files(s) that you require, download them by right-mouse-clicking and selecting "save file as" on a PC. On a Mac control key and clikc and select "save link as"
4. then select the location on your computer that you want to save the file.

(you will need to do this for each file you want to download)

appropriate config line entries to modify (only do this if you are admin):
* 257: max size of php binary memory usage. set to 80meg. Might need to be higher to cope with 50meg uploads
* 423: max post size. how much data can be sent in a POST command (how stuff is uploaded). set to 50meg
* 528: max file uploads. how big any 1 file can be. set to 50meg

For anything bigger than 50meg, I'd suggest ftp...

6. once you have configured all the settings save the settings (for future reference etc)
7. export a copy of the SDP file. this can be done by going to the file menu, selecting export, then selecting SDP
8. email the SDP file to somaya ( somaya@criticalsenses.com ) where she can put it up on the streaming server location...

9. to start live broadcasting - click on the __broadcast__ button in the quicktime broadcaster software

10. once broadcasting has started, you will need to view the streaming broadcasts, look at the following locations using Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) rather than http. A web browser will not be able to handle the RTSP and will launch an external application - in this case QuickTime...

11. The locations to view are:
* rtsp://www.criticalsenses.com/streaming/transitlounge-berlin.sdp 
* rtsp://www.criticalsenses.com/streaming/transitlounge-melbourne.sdp 
* rtsp://www.criticalsenses.com/streaming/transitlounge-sydney.sdp

            <description><![CDATA[I am working on a project about modernism in Brasilia (Brazil). I think that somehow this fits also in our project. My interest relates to parallel structures to the planned (modern and idealized) urbanistic structure of the city (Lucio Costa, Oskar Niemeyer). I am starting with images taken from google earth where you can see aerial views of trails (beyond sidewalks, streets, etc.) traced by people to shorten their route. I want to work on this images with an embroidery and/or sewing work. I am not really a performance-artist, but I think that perhaps it would be nice to do something "life" on the vernissage.

Here's the idea so far:
I will prepare the google-earth-images (A4), print them out and start putting them together to a map. I will be (re)tracing the visible trails with stiches. Parallel to that I was thinking about including a text (in portuguese), either saying it out loud or having a sound with that text. I would be sitting under one of the lamps in the exposition room. I haven't decided yet if I would like to include the printing etc. to the performative work or not.
The text so far (I am just leaving it in portuguese as I wrote it ...)
Trilha-(Trampel-)Pfad-Trail
As pessoas escolhem seus caminhos, os atalhos e por vez cruzam campos para encurtar o trecho. Os caminhos mais eficientes (e cômodos) nem sempre são aqueles pré-traçados. Muitas pessoas decidem-se por uma trilha alternativa: vai um, vai outro, vão muitos e, finalmente, uma marca.
Uma marca, uma linha que talvez encontra outra e assim traça-se trilhas, remarcando, conferindo o território, mapeando um novo mapa paralelo àquele dado.

            <description><![CDATA[michael mentioned he'd like the script to be edited, so i have a couple of ideas: 
specifically the sets of actions, same timeframes


the train station (busy)

props: chair, newspaper or diary, pen
place the chair in front of the camera, sit, with your back to the camera, only your head is in frame.
-read the paper or write/sketch in your diary. 
-gaze up  for 10 seconds
-wave to someone in the distance
-pick up camera and take self-photo (make sure camera is in frame)


the park (medium)

pick a spot where surrounding buildings are visible (especially oz)
stand in front camera facing sideways
-slowly wander around the camera  in a full circle, camera follows
-pick up camera and take self-photo]]></description>

            <link>http://www.transitlounge.org/2008/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&amp;comments_parentId=79</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I've been working up the ideas of site specific sound recordings dislocated and overlayed between cities, with the aim that individual sound pieces could be installed within the bookshelf in Berlin.  The sound pieces could also have embedded text from Miriam & Anna's readings.
 
So: what I'm thinking....
- Getting a bunch of micro transmitters & small MP3 players (depending on the number of cities / sound producers involved). These could have each audio piece loaded onto them.

- Visitors to the gallery are given a wearable location device (almost like a tech piece of jewellery). The MP3 and transmitter is no bigger than a cassette case - I'll work up some ideas for this - especially logistics: I could fed-ex the wearable devices to Berlin if I make them on the weekend?? 

- The bookshelf contains small radios tuned to different frequencies that could pick up the transmitters as visitors approach the bookshelf at different points. This could create a sound wash, sound overlapping - dislocated. It could also lend itself to a performance - Somaya??

- BOOKSHELF AS A HYPOTHETICAL MAP: the wrapped books could be re-organised in terms of country / location (nationality of author/ subject matter / publisher etc)

How this ties in with the sunday week's FBi transmission needs to be thought through.... and this whole idea needs further work and input from everyone.

            <description><![CDATA[I'm throwing in a little philosophy here... 

Attended a lecture by famous French philosopher Alain Badiou on Art and Politics at Kunstwerk. 

He spoke about displacement and the notion of a place in art where 'being together is enough.'

Reflecting on the conversations and technological mediations between places, my question for us all is, can we find or create a place where being together is POSSIBLE?

* first seed idea, more details to come from my notes in a little while]]></description>

            <link>http://www.transitlounge.org/2008/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=4&amp;comments_parentId=56</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I find this work interesting in terms of the script michael has written - do we want to try for even more stylized gestures and coherent overall form, or is the range of interpretation and differences between places something that can be pushed and enhanced?

there is also a nice book of practical philosophy in the library here at program, which takes the form of instructions '101 experiments in the philosophy of everyday life' by roger-pol droit.

one of them is to wait while doing nothing. 

just a thought or two....

http://www.aestheticmanagement.com/estranged_proximities.shtml

Estranged Proximities | 2007
A Waiting Laboratory | 19:30
Actors:
Félix Kama, Fabienne Elaine Hollwege, Stela M. Katic

Estranged Proximities documents a performance of “waiting” with 3 actors who swap characters and personalities in a loop of 6 scenes. The choreography for the work is based on micro-sociological observations of individuals waiting alone in public / social spaces in Stuttgart, Berlin & Hannover. The gestures of waiting were then improvised by the actors in a series of interactions with one another as different characters.

“The distractions by which waiting is at all costs to be suppressed and avoided, thus point to the subversive, caustic effects that waiting exerts on the economic determinations of 'true time'.”

"Waiting enters into another sort of temporality - we awaken to the repressed rhythms of duration."- Harold Schweizer - On Waiting]]></description>

            <title>build your own story</title>
            <link>http://www.transitlounge.org/2008/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&amp;comments_parentId=55</link>
            <description><![CDATA[build your own story

in many cases stories grow from the heads of different persons. especially so called urban legends or hoax or any type of conspiracy are made up by more than one person and often times even grow in different countries and cities. 
my idea for the two weeks of transit lounge, is to set up a story with all the artists together. I am thinking about a starting point, like an image or an already existing story about berlin e.g., which I am gonna put on the website, so that anybody can change and enlarge its structure and content. I think about the process like the exquisite corpse thing but only with words instead of drawings…
after this first step, when there is different “arms” of a story, I want to grab the words and try to give them a sound-version, meaning TELLING the story, maybe also translating parts of it…
next step I imagine cutting the structure back into little sequences, pieces that can be put together in various orders. 
the idea is to install the little pieces of sound in the gallery so that any of the visitors can build their own story depending on how many of the pieces he or she would listen to and what the one would add him/herself.
I d like to ask visitors for their story they made up. maybe let people write it down, collect the stories and create another little book which refers to the bookshelf. 

that is the first impression I wanted to give you for the project, now I will try to find a starting point and set it into the wiki or forum. once the whole thing gets started, it will probably change a lot, - which is the idea of it…

I found an urban legend about one metro line in Berlin, the North-South line. then, when I was researching about TRUDE I found a huge machine called TRUDE. it’s a shortcut for “tief runter unter die elbe” which means deep under the river elbe. the machine dug the tunnel under the river… I was thinking, maybe this could be a topic for the story: underground levels in cities like canals, metro, bunkers etc.

let you know more tomorrow!

            <description><![CDATA[RSS feeds send information out from the transit lounge wiki in a number of different areas. this way people can subscribe to the feeds that they want (if they don't want everything).

You can aggregate the separate transitlounge feeds within your RSS software.

* You can either use and RSS reader within your browser (inbuilt into the browser - such as Live Bookmarks in Firefox) or within an online application (such as Google - you need to have a gmail account to use this).

* Alternatively you can download software and use an entirely separate application. For example, a simple RSS reader is NetNewsWire (for Macs running OSX) and for PC [TBA]

* Download the software - 
Mac users: http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/NetNewsWire/
PC users: [TBA]

* Install the software as per usual installation instructions 

* Subscribe to the streams - you can do this by clicking on the orange RSS buttons at the bottom of the transit lounge wiki pages. The specific stream URIs are:

            <description><![CDATA[to set resolution and dimension sizes for the images you want to upload to the transit lounge wiki:

as we are unsure of whether the images will be used ''only'' in an online context, or whether they will be used within the physical space (printed out, projected etc) - we need a web resolution version as well as a higher quality image for other forms of production 

web version:
resolution = 72ppi
dimensions = 300 x 400 pixels up to 600 x 800 pixels (depending on how you want your wiki pages to look)
file type = jpeg
file name = please name your file with something that distinguishes it as the web version (ie: filename-web.jpg)

higher quality (for print)
resolution = 300ppi where possible - or we can resize where necessary when we download the images for other production means
file type = tif or jpeg
dimensions = whatever the largest that you have is
file name = please name your file with something that distinguishes it as a different version from the web version (ie: filename.jpg)]]></description>

 Creating a Wiki Page
If configured, Wiki pages can be created using Smashed Word syntax. This can be defined as a number of capitalized words joined together without spaces like MaryHadALittleLamb. Alternately, a user can specifically tell the system to create a page like this ((This is a New Page)). In either case, when the page is saved the Wiki will add a question mark to indicate a new page. The question mark is a link to the Wiki page editor for that page. After the new page is saved, the question mark is replaced from the original page and the link will be indicated.

TIP: A Fast Way to Create a New Wiki Page

    * Edit ANY Wiki Page
    * Somewhere at the top of the page, add the name of the page you want to create in double parentheses. Example: ((My New Page))
    * Hit Preview
    * Select the underlined Question Mark. Example: My New Page? 

You will be editing the page you wanted to create. The page that you changed to create this page was not saved or updated - so it does not need to be modified or repaired. This method allows you to see if the page already exists. A link will be displayed if a page with that name exists (instead of the question mark) so you can change the page's name and hit Preview again.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[One of the ideas from our (Lynda Roberts, Michael Prior, Ben Milbourne, Tanja Kimme) meeting in Melbourne was that it would be interesting to create a live connection between Melbourne & Berlin (& potentially Perth and Sydney)  -- specifically when PROGRAM is open to the public, but possibly earlier.
I imagine there would be a monitor installed somewhere in the space @ PROGRAM with a webcam stream from Melbourne and vice versa. So there would also be a webcam in PROGRAM streaming to a monitor here in Melbourne.
And all to the website too I guess.

The content is up for discussion and development here.

Another idea that came up around this topic was to develop a method to involve the audience as (unaware) performers, or triggers of events, etc..

            <description><![CDATA[after seeing the history will repeat itself (strategies of re-enactment) exhibition today - jodi rose and i got talking about re-enactments, my love of working on a laptop in bed (where i am right now) and of re-staging...

jodi brought up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed-In">yoko + johns bed-in</a>.

i'm driven to do some performative work as part of the transitlounge - and was wondering whether one of the works might be something along these lines

the original bed-ins were done in the name of peace, and since the vietnam war, perhaps not so much has changed apart from the main focus of the american government's fury. i've been reading a lot about afghanistan - a thousand splendid suns, the kite runner, the kabul beauty school, parvana's journey...

one simple collaborative work that i'm now conspiring to realise a re-enactment of the bed-in 

others thoughts on this?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In the idea of Hugh Everett (the physicist who first
proposed this concept), it's interesting to think how
an idea is developed once it's universe splits into a
multitude of possibilities (depending on where and
who's hands in ends up in).

I just arrived back in Berlin and feel like I never
left. I feel like I joined the self that I left here a
year or two ago. And I feel like I have left behind my
other selves in both the South of France and Sydney
just doing what they do, holding the fort until I
return. Then there are times when I can't believe I am
real and I wonder if I'm not just the reminiscence of
myself who has moved on...

exhaustion

a place to call home

opened 'if on a  winter's night a traveller' randomly to this passage (p145)

'Are you really hospitable, or is the way you allow acquaintances to come into the house a sign of indifference? The Reader is looking for a comfortable place to sit and read without invading those spaces clearly reserved for you; he is forming the idea that a guest can be very comfortable in your house provided he can adjust to your rules.'

made me think of the russian hotel that used to be here, the difference between paid hospitality and something between friends]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Trude,
I'm not really certain what the motivation is behind posting the text titled Trude. As I see it Trude is something to do with the general malaise that accompanies seeking fulfillment through traveling, adventures or by excursion to new places. In other words Trude is a state of Being, not a place. And therefore Trude is merely a figment of imagination, in
other words a hypothesis detailing a mode of existence that pertains primarily to the pace of contemporary life. Particularly when that life is based on seeking fulfillment (and knowledge) via methodically broadening experience globally (and locally).  My criticism relates to Trudes inability to acknowledge fleeting moments of beauty or subtleties within everyday Life's progress. Trude favours a larger more general homogenised and global experience - the way it should 'really' be. Trude in fact becomes the malaise it expresses. Importantly,Trude is only applicable in situations that actively engage with a circumference of experience obtainable by means greater than humanly possible, i.e. outside the sphere of human physicality (not intellect). Trude only ever appears when we evolve from beings who walk (as a primary motional method of transportation that has the benefit of offering non-obscured experience of the world) to beings who are subsumed by the use of planes, trains, cars, and motorcycles (methods of travel denounced as imperative simply by fact of their time-saving quality). One might argue philosophically for the former as an Existentialist mode of knowledge-seeking
whilst the latter, in a manner where the world is obscured and removed by pressurized cabin compartment, in-flight entertainment, restaurant car, speed, glass, 5.1 surround sound, air-conditioning, and helmet, is nihilistic (see Baudrillard and Virilio).
Trude is merely rudimentary nomenclature. The particular paragraph presented on the Transit Lounge 2008 webstie implies a state of Being not unlike a cyborg. A half human half machine hybrid - hooked up to a global transportation network. As always in my visual art work I am interested in engaging with whatsoever unremarkable and/or personal. With this text in mind for the transit lounge project/collaboration I am interested in transgressing the inherent malaise it harbors by in fact seeking and embracing that same malaise. This will expose the ever present authenticity of Being, despite, and paradoxically, in-spite of the global-spectacle.]]></description>
