es bleibt nichts im halse stecken
betrachtungen zum phänomen „helge schneider"
donnerstag 9. dezember 1999, 20 h, depot/museumsquartier
die kritik an der massenmedialen humorwelt und am „kreativen
funktionierenmüssen" ihrer machtsysteme ist nicht erst seit der
„spaßismus"-diskussion aktuell. im rahmen dieses podiumsgesprächs versucht
„monochrom" den beweis zu erbringen, daß es durchaus populärkulturelle
humorgrammatiken gibt, die anders arbeiten, die die gängigen
entertainment-strukturen umgehen/verweigern/zerstören/verändern. objekt
konkreter untersuchung ist das phänomen „helge schneider". wir postulieren,
daß helge schneiders arbeit nichts mit klamauk oder nonsens im sinne
bürgerlicher unterhaltungsformate (wie „kabarett/comedy/anarchische komik")
zu tun hat. sie ist kunst. und sie ist kulturtheoretisch relevant. die
diskussion wird unter anderem folgende wörter enthalten: „betrachtung",
„ebene", „system", „schwitters", „textverfahren", „jazz", „begriff",
„funktionieren", „intersubjektivität", „sinn", „konstruktion", „lustig",
„kultur", „harald", „schmidt", „institution", „prusten", „tendenz",
„verweigerung", „heute", „strategie", „singulär", „scheitern",
„gleichzeitigkeit", „aufklärung", „diskursiv", „verortung", „ästhetisch"
sowie „fuck", „vielleicht" und das präfix „ab".
diskutanten:
frank apunkt schneider (literarisch, musikalisch, künstlerisch tätig, aus
bamberg/deutschland kommend), fritz ostermayer (autor, journalist,
radiomensch, dj), drehli robnik (filmtheoretiker, dj und entertainer) und
johannes grenzfurthner (schreiber, gestalter, aufleger, bastler).

1000 Fehler (1000 Errors)
The audio-cd "1000 Fehler" is a composition of spoken theory-fragments by
Adilkno (Foundation of the Advancement of Illegal Knowledge/Amsterdam) and
noise-improvisations by Brüsseler Platz 10a-Musik (Cologne).
Being bored of academic culture pessimism the authors Geert Lovink, Arjen
Mulder und Lex Wouterloot (Adilkno) are dedicated to illegal knowledge.
Their books "Cracking the Movement" and "The Media Archive" are
published by Autonomedia, New York. In their last book "Elektronische
Einsamkeit" (supposé 1997) they research degenerated tendencies of the
roaring every day life in media.
In ecstasy of speculation they try out all patterns possible and even
the apocalypse is one scenario among others.
After the fascination for the evil in the 80´s, nowadays failure is the
most interesting phenomenon:
"All hope theory could bring salvation should be eliminated. Theory is not
care, nor is it a substitute for forgotten services and ideologies."
The members of Brüsseler Platz 10a-Musik are Georg Odijk (a-musik), Jan
St. Werner (Mouse on Mars, Microstoria, Lithops) und Marcus Schmickler
(Pluramon, Wabi Sabi). In their sessions and live performances they use
generations of conventional analogue and digital consumer electronics:
Recordplayer, tape recorder, CD-Player.
The complexe material of spoken words and music was arranged and mixed by
Hajsch (Quit Artworks/Cologne). Conception and production: Klaus Sander
and Thomas Wolfertz.
The CD offers four additional tracks translated into english.

music, and original video comics to show that, through grassroots organizing
combined with mutual support around the world, ordinary people can empower
themselves to deal with the global economy. by Jeremy Brecher, Tim Costello,
Brendan Smith
Day Two December 1, 1999
Seattle Showdown: Global Sweatshop: Working in the New World Order 30:00

International President. Chinese Workers Association; Voices of workers from
around the world: Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Columbia, South
Africa, the Philippines, Canada and elsewhere
Crisis of Capital, Hope of Labor 30:00
This powerful video provides a fast moving compilation
of the recent struggles of the Korean Labor Movement.
General strikes, mobilizing thousands of workers and
their families, have successfully shut down entire
cities as labor has forced “neo-liberal” economic
reforms to be reconsidered. Neo-liberal reforms in
Korea, not unlike those imposed on countries like
Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico, have caused considerable
social unrest, and have devastated the lives of working
people across the globe. These economic policies, often
advanced by U.S.- backed institutions like the World
Bank and the International Monetary Fund, demand that
“developing” governments slash social services, and
allow for unrestricted levels of foreign investment.
The reforms are highly anti-democratic, and are often
forced upon a nation’s government under threat of
economic sanctions. Speculative trading and other
entrepreneurial practices often leave these nations’
working people literally starving when currencies are
dumped and capital takes flight. The Korean Labor
Movement serves as an extraordinary example of people
working together to resist these oftentimes inhumane
economic practices, and to seek a future of their own
choosing. Korean Labor News Production
Day Three December 2, 1999
Seattle Showdown: Deregulation and Privatization: the Money, the Law
30:00 and the Contract Against Equality How the WTO undercuts
local environmental, labor and affirmative action law. How women and minority

Interviews with environmental lawyers, Women Workers’ Conference on Women,
Immigration, and Globalization. Interview with Ralph Nader.
Deadly Embrace: Nicaragua, The World Bank, and the IMF
30:00 The war in Nicaragua is not over; it has
only become more invisible to the outside world. Deadly
Embrace traces the history of U.S. involvement in the region,
focusing on the current economic attack of the IMF, the World
Bank and U.S. agencies. The tape combines footage of the
everyday struggle to survive with a textbook-clear analysis of
structural adjustment, the debt crisis and free trade. After
five years of IMF and World Bank programs, Nicaragua has
experienced the worst economic collapse in its history and has
been reduced to one of the poorest countries in the world.
Nicaragua’s situation is not unique-- six million children die
each year in the Third World because of IMF and World Bank
policies. by Liz Canner

Interviews with Vandana Shiva Jose Bove, President of the French Farmers’
Union, who is fighting McDonalds.
Banana workers from Honduras, Haiti's Piggy Bank: The Loss and
Recovery of the Creole Pig 30:00 In Haiti's rugged
countryside, the Creole pig was a poor family's most important
economic aset, a staple for both food and culture. When swine flu
broke out in 1980, USAID pressured Haiti to eradicate this
indiginous pig population. This video shows the self-interest of
US aid, the interconnected nature of resources, and the trauma
caused by harsh agricultural policies imposed from above. But it
also teaches that resistance can bring renewal and hope: through
grassroots and human rights assistance, the Creole pig has
returned. This is an example of how local actions can solve local
problems. by Robin Lloyd

Peoples Trade Organization. Sustainable Human Development. Bringing the

countries in the world by the end of the year 2000.This film explains the
origin of these debts, and why they should be canceled. It shows the

Press release
"I want you to know that no one is illegal. This is a contradiction
in terms. People can be beautiful, or even more beautiful. They can be just
or unjust. But illegal? How can a person be illegal?"
(Elie Wiesel)
There are - according to estimates by the UN - around 50 million people
worldwide living without valid residence status. They are called
"undocumented people", "irregulars", "clandestine", "furtive" or, in
administrative lingo, simply "illegals".
In a Europe that attempts to build up walls to the outside to the extent
that it pretends to be opening up to the inside, almost every form of
immigration is now being systematically illegalized. From Schengen and
Amsterdam to Tampere - barely one meeting of heads of state and of
government that does not, among other things or predominantly, have as
its aim yet another tightening of asylum or immigration regulations.
But even migrants who have been living in European countries for several
years do not have any guarantee that their residence permit will not be
suddenly withdrawn.
To live with an illegalized status means to have no protection or rights
in interactions with authorities, employers and landlords/landladies,
but also in case of illness, accidents or assault. It means to live in
constant fear of being discovered, because this would imply punishment,
internment or immediate deportation.
The resistance against illegalization, internment and deportation of
migrants as it has found its expression in more than three years of the
French movement of the "sans-papiers" and their supporters as well as in
Germany in the framework of the campaign "No one is illegal", aims first
of all at calling public attention to the inextricable situation of the
illegalized, and then to call for practical solidarity between citizens
with and without such papers. In addition, however, an important aim is
to discuss the global circumstances which lead to migration, to
reconsider the definitions charged with resentment and the collective
denunciation of refugees and to develop utopias that do not end up in
the paranoia of a "Fortress Europe".
The thematic evening "no one is illegal!" makes an attempt to turn
television into a - however fictitious - place in which people can speak
on an equal level and communicate with each other regardless of their
residence status - into a place in which no one remains necessarily
"invisible" or "voiceless".
PROGRAM
Das sans papiers TV

Madjiguène Cissé, speaker for the sans papiers in France, and José
Mbongo-Mingi, speaker for the Karawane für die Rechte von Flüchtlingen
und Migrant/innen (caravan for the rights of refugee and migrants) in
Germany, lead you through the evening as presenters and reporters. In a
total of four documentary intermezzos they speak with people directly
concerned, supporters, journalists and experts about the problem of
illegalization of migrants and refugees. Towards the end of the evening
they open a forum for discussion which attempts to show perspectives and
utopias in the dialog between people with and without documents.
8.40pm
The electronic curtain (Het Electronische Gordijn)
Documentary, 50'
Script, directed by: Walther Grotenhuis
Camera: Erik van Empel
Edited by: Hens van Rooij
The Netherlands 1997
First time on air in German and French
"The electronic curtain" is a film about the system of surveillance at
the German-Polish border. The fall of the Wall gave rise to a migration
movement from Eastern to Western Europe against which the Ministers of
Home Affairs of the EU recommended stricter measures of control at their
conference in Budapest in 1993. The German Federal Border Protection has
thereafter made it one of its highest priorities to extend border
security. By now the German-Polish border has become the exterior border
of Europe with the tightest control, and the most modern technology is
being used there. The documentary "The electronic curtain" approaches
this border from three different points of view.
On the one hand it documents the work of the Federal Border Protection
and sheds light on the security systems used in the border region. Newly
developed night-vision cameras are by now able to distinguish movements
at the border at 5 kilometers distance. Representatives of the Federal
Border Protection explain the importance of border security for a united
Europe.
Jonas Widren, migration expert and head of the refugee office Eastern
Europe in Vienna, also gets to present his views. He provides
information about the development of migration movements into Europe
since the fall of the Wall, and about the function of transit spaces
such as the Ukraine.
Finally the film follows a Romanian on his journey from Romania through
the Ukraine and Poland to the German-Polish border which he wants to
cross in order to reach Germany in his quest for work.
9.40pm
Planeta Alemania. Observations from the invisibility
Documentary, 38'
Script, directed, camera, sound, edited by: dogfilm & companer@s
Germany 1999
First time on air in German and French
Many people without residence status, without documents, live and work
in Germany. And the consequences of this go beyond having no access to
citizens' and social rights. "It is like being constantly on the run."
The documentary "Planeta Alemania" is the portrait of a woman who cannot
show herself in front of the camera. It tells the story of the everyday
conditions of life in illegality, in which it is crucial to remain as
invisible as possible. Composed of various tableaus which give
expression to the stories of the protagonist about her experiences,
fears and dreams, it gives the picture of a person without this person
leaving the invisibility. "Planeta Alemania" was produced in close
collaboration between the protagonist, the translator and the film team.
10.20pm
Global Player. Stories from the job market
Documentary, 36'
Script, directed, edited by: Jochen Kraus and Florian Schneider
Camera: Arnd Christian Buss von Kuk
Germany 1999
First time on air in German and French
The fact that people leave the region in which they have grown up
because they are hoping for better conditions of life or plainly livable
conditions in a different environment, has become not only natural but,
in the context of a globally operating capitalism, a necessity.
Nevertheless, in the current discussions, migrants and refugees are
almost exclusively described as problem cases.
"Global Player. Stories from the job market" chooses a different
perspective: The emphasis is on how enriching migration movements are -
in material, economic, political and social terms.
"Global Player. Stories from the job market" documents working relations
as they come up, in all their complexity, in reality and every day -
under the tightened conditions of illegality, deprivation of one's
rights and lack of any guarantees. Jochen Kraus and Florian Schneider
have approached employers who hire migrants, ranging from the family
business to the large corporation, to let them speak about their
relations to the migrants.
23.05
Into visibility. The church of St. Bernard and the struggle of the sans
papiers
Documentary, 62'
Script, directed, edited by: Jochen Kraus and Florian Schneider
Camera: Arnd Christian Buss von Kuk, Andreas Lindl
Germany/France 1999
First time on air in German and French
The tightening of the immigration and naturalization regulations in the
beginning of the 1990ies led to the first occupation of churches and
hunger strikes of the sans papiers in France in 1996, which aimed at
calling the attention of the public to the precarious situation of
illegalized people with spectacular actions. People who had in their
majority been living in France for more than ten years, were paying
taxes and represented a non-negligible economic factor, claimed equal
rights and permanent residence permits. "Documents for all!"
If they had not started before, the brutal eviction of the church of St.
Bernard in August 1996 and the demonstration of over one hundred
thousand people against new legislation on the denunciation of
illegalized people some months later prompted groups with similar
objectives in many other European countries to get organized. The sans
papiers are the first movement that has not only been managed by the
people directly concerned from the very beginning, but has come to be
irrevocably a factor in the political landscape of France which can no
more be passed over in silence.
The film attempts a sort of inventory by reconstructing the development
of the contentions starting with the events in Paris in the summer of
1996 and trying to trace the course of events to this day. The
demonstration on the 3rd anniversary of the eviction of the church of
St. Bernard gives the backdrop to the film. Speakers of the sans papiers
then and now like Madjiguène Cissé, Traore Gaousson, Ababacar Diop,
Kamara Hamady recall the occupation of the church and reflect on the
political processes that have led to the current situation. Other people
who make their appearance: Guy Laveuve, one of the priests of the church
of St. Bernard, Monique Chemillier-Gendreau, professor of international
law and member of the mediating committee "College des Mediateurs", as
well as Ariane Mnouchkine, director of the "Théatre du Soleil", who have
supported and accommodated the movement from the outset.
00.10am
With someone's help
Essay, 31'
Script, directed, edited by: Merle Kröger, Ed van Megen, Philip
Scheffner
Camera: Jörg Heitmann, Gereon Schmitz
Germany 1999
First time on air in German and French
"With someone's help" is a film collage about an illegal service. The
essay traces the evolution of the image of the escape agent from the
stylized heroic myth to the criminal "human trader" acting out of purely
selfish motives.
The collage of multifaceted archive material is complemented by the
accounts of three refugees on their escape with the help of escape
agents: Hanna Papanek managed to escape from Marseille to the United
States in 1940 with the help of the Emergency Rescue Committee. Günther
Helvoigt left the GDR in direction of the West in 1972 in the trunk of a
car of the Aramco AG company. The Kurdish woman Devrim Kaya escaped back
to the country where she was born, Germany, with the help of organized
"human traders" in 1994. Their experiences and motivations for relying
on someone else's help meet with the history of an evolution of values
through the media.
0.40am
The sans papiers TV: Round-table discussion
Excerpts from a discussion, approx. 32'
Script, camera, edited by: dogfilm

Delvaux's Dream
The desire to enter the picture plane by various symbolic and perceptual
strategies, an ancient dream that infuses human history since the earliest
iconographic forms, is today acquiring new impetus thanks to
computer-generated 3D models with convincingly penetrable characteristics,
and tracking devices which modulate digital worlds in keeping with
visitors' movements.
Michael Bielicky's Delvaux project takes the Belgian artist's fantasy world
as a starting point for his enterable painting experiment. The quiescent
eroticism of the Delvaux figures poised in settings that feature vestiges
bygone architectures, generates a singular sense of a space that remains
somehow vacuous, tainted with nostalgia, fundamentally estranged.
Reconstituted with digital technologies, the scene chosen by Bielicky can
be accessed and physically penetrated by the spectator using a complex virtual
set technology combined with a sofisticated tracking system
and a motion control camera .
The result is a situation of observed immersion: the live figure evolving in
the painting is visibly integrated into the surreal
landscape, but he himself is not experiencing this integration in any
direct manner - in fact, can only become aware of it if he watches himself
on a control monitor. Here, Bielicky's goal is not so much exploration of a
paining as an immersive construct, felt as such by the spectator, but
rather the sense of dislocation felt by the spectator as he evolves within
the projected environment, monitoring his own movements in this unreal
landscape on a screen display.
Michael Bielicky has been using computers for his projects since the
beginning of the 90s. He confronts traditional art media with programs from
virtual reality research in search for forms of expression and presentation
of the relationship between reality and simulation, between perception and
experience.
