audiovisuellen Echtzeit-Performance untersucht die Konzept- und Medienkünstlerin
Alexandra Reill (Wien) gemeinsam mit dem Electronic Sound Composer DARKO*
(Brüssel) die Rolle transnationaler Wirtschaften bei der Bildung von Frieden

profitiert von Krieg? Welche Rolle spielen dabei die Medien? Und inwieweit sind
Menschen wirtschaftlichen oder politischen Kriegsinteressen ausgesetzt bzw.
können sie auf Friedensbildung oder Kriegsplanung Einfluss nehmen?</FONT></DIV>

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm">A real-time audiovisual performance sees
conceptual and media artist Alexandra Reill (Vienna) join with electronic
sound composer DARKO* (Brussels) to examine the role of transnational
enterprises in the creation of peace and/or the construction of war. Does
war simply arise on its own, or is war something that is “made?” Who
profits from war? What role does the media play? And to what extent are
individuals subject to war-related interests from the economic and/or
political realms? And can they themselves exercise any sort of influence
over peace-building or war-planning? <BR><BR>Utilizing TV spots and
blockbuster productions, DARKO* and Reill explore contemporary
developments of a globalization which is formed and characterized by big
business—and, not unimportantly, which is strongly influenced by the
media.</FONT></P>
