Opening: Sat 7 July 2007, 19:00 Balaklava was the 'Gallic' village of the Soviet Union which defied the class enemy during the Cold War. Since the 1950s Balaklava, located at the Southern tip of the Crimea, served as a submarine base of the Black Sea Fleet. A submarine hangar was built into the Tauris Mountain directly at the bay - serving at the same time as bunker and depot for nuclear weapons. Balaklava was a highly secret facility - so secret in fact that the entire settlement was closed for visitors and civilians, and that it even did not figure on Soviet maps.

public lectures: Sat, May 20, 2006 / 10 am. - 6 pm. at PHOENIX Halle - in English - Admission: 4 Euro, reduced 2 Euro (including admission for the exhibition "Glamour and Globalization" and "Solar Radio Station") The series of lectures brings together approaches and projects that artistically and critically deal with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology – a technology that is significantly being developed and advanced by companies and research institutes in Dortmund. This technology which at first glance seems to be a simple further development of the bar code (well known from the supermarket) is much more powerful that the good old bar code technology. RFID tags are passive radio transmitters, which upon receiving a minor wireless energy impulse are sending back the information stored on their memory. Today, this information can be read already at a distance of six meters – without the process getting noticed. In addition, with its unique identification numbering system, this technology will allow for a precise identification of every object worldwide. What will it be like to live in a world where all the objects constantly will be talking to each other?

at Sissikingkong, domicil, Künstlerhaus, PHOENIX Halle Dortmund, 21.-23. April 2006 Together with the Ruhr Region, Essen is bidding to be named European Capital of Culture for 2010. But why? The essential things, so the project Periphery 3000 – Strategic Platform for Networked Centers, no longer take place in the national capitals but, for some time now, wherever peripheral positions facilitate a perspective on social and cultural foundations. The periphery, and not the center, is a position of productive uncertainty.
