+ REALIZATION OF THE ACTION #2: DAS Kapital
www.reakt.org/das_kapital

Wenceslaw Square, Prague, Czech Republic Oct. 7, 2006 - performer Mare Bulc
standed still on top of a podium paraphrasing street artists who act only
when passers-by provide them with a pecuniary contribution. However, the
trigger of his action were not coins but the "DAS Kapital" tank's invasion
of the Czech Republic geographical map placed at his feet. Whenever this
happened the performer "set himself on fire".

Brainloop
Media performance in Virtual Reality environment
by Davide Grassi, Suncica Hermansson, Brane Zorman, Markus Rapp
www.aksioma.org/brainloop
----------------------------------
Brainloop is a platform that allows a tetraplegic subject to perform in a
Virtual world merely by mental imagination of specific motor commands such
as left-hand, right-hand, or foot movement. This is achieved via a BCI
System (Brain Computer Interface) which provides the performer with a
non-muscular communication and control channel for conveying messages and
commands to the external world. Motor imagery may be seen as mental
rehearsal of a motor act without any overt motor output. The difference
between performance and imagery is that in the latter case execution is
blocked at corticospinal level. Through Motor imagery performer Markus Rapp
investigates urban areas and landscapes in Google Earth and selects
locations he will use further on as a "virtual stage" for the sound
performance. At this stage the subject elects and manipulate sounds in real
time while composer Brane Zorman re-locate them (8.1 surround) into the
physical space. The virtual reality environment is projected in stereo
allowing the audience to perceive the events in 3D.
