Based on our experience in the culture scene we want to create an open space of reflection that encourages transversal moves of all kinds: between articles, languages, fields and social actors. The online magazine with flexible and easily accessible elements (texts, sound, video) that create a map of internal and external links. Rather than following a chronological order we want to realize a network structure on three levels: Within our group that is multilingual and works about art and alternative economies/structures; between the international participants of Multiplace who can use the blog for sharing their projects and experiences on network/ing but also come into contact with each other to develop an own network; on the design level of the blog that should work as an inter-connected mapping device (one example is the map we developed in a brain storming about basic ideas for our magazine that you see below).

The interpretation of each of 21 Arcanes of the Tarot game is as complex as a human personality. It is impossible to assign it with solely positive or negative meaning, as it always depends on the situation and individual life circumstances of the one who seeks an advice. The card is a summary of various patterns of energy, non-existent in a pure form, but well known, similarly to the archetypes of Carl Gustav Jung. The Personal Tarot Mobiles provides an interactive virtual oracle. Individual numbers of 21 sim cards will correspond to the 21 cards of the Great Arcane.

Placetellers Bratislava-Vienna open participation Jürgen Rendl, Urban Flow Placetellers will connect people, places and stories in and between Bratislava and Vienna. We want to collect and share places, that are appropriated by people and their stories, practises, experiences and emotions. Thereby we are aiming to humanize the respective cityscape, making the traces, which people leave in the urban pattern, accessable and readable like a collective story. Your traces will change the way how others perceive the city. "I would like there to exist places that are stable, unmoving, intangible, untouched and almost untouchable, unchanging, deep-rooted: places that might be points of reference, of departure, of origin. Such places don't exist, and its because they don't exist that space becomes a question, ceases to be self-evident, ceases to be incorporated, ceases to be appropriated. Space is a doubt: I have constantly to mark it, to designate it. It's never mine, never given to me, I have to conquer it." Georges Perec, Species of Spaces Bratislava is, through the radical neoliberalization of its cityscape, losing many places of difference and diversity. Places, that were created through personal (hi)stories and collective narratives. That's why we want to create a platform for those humanized places, stories and practices. 26.4. - 3.5. 18:00 - 20:00, festival center, A4 "Placetellers collection" During multiplace we will ask people in Bratislava "Kde je tvoje miesto?" (Where is your place?) and collect places, stories, practises, experiences and emotions connected to their city. Come to the festival center and share!

ADD SOUNDSYSTEM can become a space for some form of music production or performance, it can be used as a sound installation or a sonic playground for a workshop. The aim is to create a specific social context, space for encounters, communication and participation. ADD SOUNDSYSTEM oscilates between different types of sound production and perception. It decentralizes the position of musician / performer and obliterates both creative and physical gap between the creator and the audience. Installation is designed to be as transparent, easily understood and operated for any audience member. ADD SOUNDSYSTEM consists of two basic connected components: mixing table and suspended loudspeaker grid. The mixing table is a combinatoric matrix constructed from simple electronic elements. It contains five input units and a larger number of output units. Each output unit is a very simple mixer which allows to produce a variable mix of the five inputs fed into the system. Sound producers and audience take their places and operate input and output units according to the current situation (music production, performance, workshop, installation). The most typical would be a situation where the output units are handled by the audience and inputs are taken by the creator/s. The loudspeaker grid contains number of single loudspeakers which is double the number of output units - as the speakers are in stereo pairs. Each output unit is connected to a pair of speakers. Speakers are suspended under the gallery ceiling and spaced out into an even grid creating a sound field. This situation allows the audience to actively shape the sound field created in the gallery. The perception of the sound composition then depends on the listener’s position in space which means that each listener’s experience is individual and unique.

Community media Marcel Hečko (SK/UK) Itchy bit, Multiplace 2008, A4 – Associations for contemporary culture discussion Is it true that the more discussion there is about communities, the less is left of them (like it is the case of icebergs) ? What are then the ambitions of media that give the members of community a chance to speak up without intermediaries, more freely and by their own means? Does the notion of community media make sense? It is not only the case of Slovakia where the media are seen as untouchable ivory towers - in better case defending their professionality and objectivity, in the worse case the good image of their founders (f.e. regional media in Slovakia) Since there is few experience with this kind of communication in Slovakia, we'll invite Marcel Hečko who is working for Station house media productions (Aberdeen, UK). SHMU is a community unit that supports residents in radio and video production, traditional and on-line publications.

HTML Code Choreography Ursula Endlicher (AT/US), Viera Levitt (SK/US) (moderator) 13 kubikov, FreeDom (coorganiser) presentation, discussion New media art in the USA + presentation of the project html_butoh - bringing human body back to data world. || Independent curator Viera Levitt and Ursula Endlicher will discuss new media art in the USA and introduce Ursula's project html_butoh, that brings the human body back to the technical world of the Internet. In this piece, Endlicher replaces the html code with movement sequences from an online video clip archive, the html-movement-library, which is available for anyone wanted to participate. Visitors to the talk and exhibit held at the new space FreeDom in Bahon, between Bratislava and Trnava, near the train station, will be guided through the process of how to submit their ideas to the database and to be part of this "global performance" piece. www.turbulence.org/works/html_butoh Ursula Endlicher's work resides on the intersection of Internet, performance and multi-media installation, bridging the Web and physical reality. Online since 1994, her focus lies in analyzing the social, political and structural components of the WWW. Special interest goes into revealing the hidden architectures and languages of the Web, such as "html" (hypertext mark-up language), which is translated in her work into different media, visualization formats, and into choreography. She has received online commissions from New Radio and Performing Arts (Turbulence.org), and from the Whitney Museum's Artport. Her work is included in Rhizome's Artbase, and featured on Furtherfield.org. Endlicher has shown her work most recently at BM-Suma Contemporary Art Center in Istanbul, Turkey, at Quartier21/Museumsquartier, Vienna, Austria, and at Upgrade! Berlin in Germany. Upcoming is a Theater/Internet Project at Theater am Neumarkt in Zürich, Switzerland. Together with Ela Kagel she runs a blog discussing net art and the questions of its curation online and in physical space. Ursula was born and raised in Vienna, and is living and working in New York since 1993. Viera Levitt (formerly Viera Jancekova) worked as a curator in one of Slovakia's leading Contemporary Arts Museum, the Jan Koniarek Gallery located in the historic town of Trnava from. She became director of this space in 2002, as the youngest director ever in a public art museum in the Slovak Republic. Since 1996, she has curated or co-curated more than thirty exhibitions in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, and the USA. She gave lectures or presentations about contemporary art in Bratislava, Berlin, Rotterdam, Hiroshima, New Delhi, Caracas or Providence, RI.

Multiples Planningtorock (UK), AIDS Wolf (CA), Michal Valent (SK) (dskg), Georgij Bagdasarov (AM/CZ) A4 – Associations for contemporary culture, Atrakt Art performance, concert, party, streaming Closing music event in Bratislava with three spectacular projects. WHATS THE ROCK is an ephemeral voyage into an indefinable surreal world created by british musician and video artist Janine Rostron (aka PLANNINGTOROCK) where a stunning array of her own characters roam the stage accompanied by a hypnotic brew of gothic and classical music curiously melded with hip-hop, techno, and pop. Blurring the well-traversed boundaries between a conventional rock concert and the performance art stage, Planningtorock, together with artists Leif.E.Christensen (DE) and Evans Hankey (USA), has stitched an extreme carousel of sensory-overloading stage show, video pieces, light and stage installation into what Wire Magazine terms “neo vaudevillian kaleidoscope.” AIDS WOLF is the crazy experimental-noise from Montreal. The musicians answer to the beautiful names of Special Deluxe, Hiroshima Thunder, Him and Barbarian Destroyer. Their violent mixture of wailing guitars, tribal beats with proper, rattling brass as well as the childlike squealing voice of Special Deluxe Chloe emphatically defy conventional song structures. WAYS OF OTHER WAYS is internet improvised performance between Michal Valent aka d1s2k9g3 in Bratislava and Georgij Bagdasarov in St. Petersburg.
