Symposion Festival Ars Electronica Thomas Schneider. "LO-FI Barrier": From the Dam Disaster to Radio Sparks. Lo-fi Barrier__The video and the sound performed in the mulonga.net project is placed within the hot spots of globalisation. The usual discussion on global communication and the whole context of cultural identity often uses white out to unsubscribe individual point of views. The video- and soundscreenings highlight non linear perspectives from a diverse background. During the festival they appear as electronic sparks. Stories of dissimilarity in simultaneity. As soon as you show images of individuals, an often misused word comes to mind. Identity. As Joichi Ito pointed out during the Festival, it makes sense to divide between entity and identity. Entity as the physical body. But what is identity? The name, age, degree? This might be from interest for a bank, that want you to pay your checks properly or for the police, who wants to put you in prison. All roles we have to play lead to several identities. Maybe our task now is to protect ourself from information that is created about ourself. __Thomas Schneider THE LOOP. Three workstations to present the project and to communicate directly with Binga. Stefan Kuthan, Anna Kuthan, Sonja Oehler, Hedi Kuthan. THE KITCHEN. A new presentation and discussion plattform at the Festival.
