.
Workshop "Social Media Interventionist Tactics"  and Soundwwwalk
moddr_  in Brussels, iMAL

For the opening of the moddr_* exhibition at iMAL, the moddr_ 
collective from Rotterdam is proposing a cutting edge workshop and 
audio-visual performance giving a first taste of the typical 
moddr_lab activities.

Workshop on "Social Media Interventionist Tactics" by Gordan Savicic/moddr_
iMAL, 17:00-20:00
Participants will install and use Selenium RC Control, a server 
running on localhost which automatically launches and kills browser 
sessions; it acts as a HTTP proxy for web requests. We will record 
and playback browsing sessions utilizing Firebug and the selenium 
python API. It is capable of automatically filling in forms, making 
AJAX requests and simulating keystrokes and button clicks. Jalan 
Jalan the Internet! This technique was implemented for the web2.0 
suicidemachine and could be useful for further Social Media 
Interventionist Tactics. Web-related programming skills desired, but 
not absolutely necessary!

Max. participants: 10.
Registration via reservation@imal.org

moddr_ from Rotterdam/Berlin (Danja Vasiliev, Gordan Savicic and Walter
Langelaar) are experimentalists and interventionists on the edge of 
digital life and everyday technology.

Worm Detour: Soundwwwalk
With Constant Dullaart, Peter Moosgaard and Will Schrimshaw
iMAL, 20:00-23:00
Worm Detour presents three Soundwwwalk performances, an emerging 
genre of live browser-based performances using <embed> improvisation, 
plugin sound-collage and multitab mixing, shamelessly blending the 
traditions of pro-surfing, Soundwalking and laptop music. Constant 
Dullaart, Peter Moosgaard and Will Schrimshaw will take the audience 
on a sonic Detour through the World Wide Web. A Soundwwwalk considers 
the act of surfing the World Wide Web as form of sonic action. The 
artists will perform their Soundwwwalks themselves on stage or 
transmit their notation, sometimes in real time, to a local 
interpreter operating the browser. All performances follow the 
Soundwwwalk One-Line-Manifesto: All sound sources must be played in a 
browser, must not be self-produced and must to be publicly accessible.

Detour is a monthly evening of variable dimension, multiformat 
performances, highlighting artists taking sonic action using the 
world wide web and/or the urban environment as medium and/or material.
Detour accentuates sonic artforms which in some way consider our 
existence in networked urban spaces as their resonating context.
Detour is hosted by WORM moddr_lab at various locations in Vienna, 
Austria and is curated by Bernhard Garnicnig.
