Part 2: Translocal party.
Radio Kinesonus has been established in celebration of the Art's Birthday 2003. Therefore Art's Birthday is always special in our program. In our understanding, Art's Birthday is a continuing project that Robert Filliou initiated the idea and Hank Bull, Robert Adrian and Heidi Grundmann developed toward global networking. I personally started to be involved in it in the early 1990s on Hank's invitation.
Radio Kinesonus has been conscious of the dual aspects of the Art's Birthday: getting together face-to-face and networking globally. Every unit of face-to-face party around the world spontaneously links together over the telephone previously and the Internet today.
This year, our party consisted of four types of participations: face-to-face, telephone and videophone, recorded files and the live Internet connection.
As an introduction, Hank Bull and his friends in Vancouver sent their voice and still video images over the videophone. This was a reproduction of the legendary media performance of Hank Bull. By the MP3 files, Keith de Mendonca from Bangalore, India, Jacques Foschia from Brussels, Belgium, Tonic Train (Knut Aufermann and Sarah Washington) from Vienna, Austria, Ralf Homann from Haparanda, Sweden participated.
Over the Internet, Jan Hendrik Brueggemeier from Weimar, Germany provided his live streaming. The Tokyo-based sound artists Reiko A, Kelly Churko, Jun Oenoki, Astro aka Hiroshi Hasegawa, and Tetsuo Kogawa provided their live performance at the "STUDIO" of Tokyo Keizai University.
