has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

Rancorous Call
2006 / animation / 1 min
Echoing through time the words from a speech originally held in 1775 with depth of panoptical dimensions. Barricades of artificial control mechanisms are installed to protect us from our selves - the ever expanding distance between us.
Rancorous Call consists of imagery of surveillance cameras arranged in a symphony to Sir Patrick Henry's words uttered at St John's Church in Richmond, USA, and here interpreted by Richard Shumann.
Completely based on found footages and sound collected from the Internet.
Collaboration Björn Perborg & Anna Viola Hallberg
Screened 2008
