Test arrangements in an Electro-Biotope
lab30, Augsburg’s Media Arts Festival, is going to take place this year for the 8th time. From November 5th to November 7th, Kulturhaus abraxas in Augsburg will be transformed into an international arts laboratory for media and installation artists, for sound, electronics, technicians and digitals artists who make up the offspring of the European arts academy scene. This festival of electronic arts has found its level within the relevant festival landscape, moving on from being an insider’s tip to becoming a constant in the yearly agenda of visitors and artists who travel the scene.

Will Work for Food
Bring a can of food to barter with the robots from September 27 - November 22, 2008,
Barter starts at 7 PM at the opening
All proceeds to be donated to Newark food banks
Will Work for Food is a project by KH Jeron about labour and barter economy.
Small robotic vehicles trade their manpower for food. The vehicles can draw and whistle popular songs.
Interactions with the robots throughout Europe have taken various forms: small offerings of packaged sweets, regional specialties, homemade foods, and even full dinners. In Newark, Gallery Aferro and KH Jeron will have the robots perform in the gallery as a food drive to question the collective responsibility of a city’s residents towards each other. According to Jeron, Will Work for Food deals with “a re-assessment of labour: its disjunction from covering the cost-of-living of the individual.They give an occasion and a space for social interaction and discussion.”

Virtual Chef - Galata
Saturday October 18th, 2008
Günay Resteraunt, Galata Tower Square, Istanbul, Turkey
19:00 (21:00 GMT)
We will be connected to Karl Heinz Jeron in Berlin, Germany,
who will instruct us how to make his special version of Falafel.
The project began by making a connection with Karl, who sent us a list of ingredients to collect for the meal.
We then start our research.
- Where can we find these ingredients in Galata?
- How does the culinary traditions of another region affect the tastes of Turkish ingredients?
As we source the ingredients, we gather information, meet people, explore new parts of our surroundings.
On the night of the dinner, as part of the Visibility Project - 4 in Galata, we are connected live to our ‘virtual’ chef with sound and video.
He takes us step by step through the cooking of the meal, sharing memories or other stories associated with the food being cooked.
When the food is finished, we eat together.

„Was ist das WERT“ Festspielhaus Hellerau
Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 56 • D-01109 Dresden
The Wert/Value perfomance reenacts Karl Marx’s contribution (VALUE, PRICE AND PROFIT) to a discussion on trade union activity that took place at a meeting of the General Council of the International Working Men’s Association in April, 1865.
While baking fortune cookies and reading chapter VI (Value and Labour) of “Value, Price and Profit”, one of my vehicles is drawing and whistling the Internationale. The cookies are filled with snippets of the drawings.
