Seminar

We will investigate, via participatory exercises and short presentations together, the types of diplomatic services an embassy for autonomous and mobile groups could offer to those who interface with it. The results of the seminar period will contribute to the dedicated 'special embassy' wiki.

Trans-European Fence Climbing Summit 2008

Sunday September 14, 2008, 14:00-
Kitchen Budapest media lab, Budapest IX, Raday u. 30 (Biblia köz)

(Note: Parallel event with Summit initiators Kayle Brandon & Heath Bunting (Bristol) in Warsaw, and others in Berlin and Skopje.)

Synchronise watches and prepare for a unified hand and foot transeuropean fence climbing tour. Become physically engaged with fences, barriers, walls and all infrastructure designed to bounder space. The summit is a celebration and an action study of barrier fabric. As a stranger or lover to climbing take too it; climb alone or with a group, mark out route or just drift. The intention is not to overwhelm and penetrate the boundary but to surface, traverse, scale and ascend it. As one hand takes hold of a fence in Warsaw, a foot will lift a body onto a wall in Budapest, a person will get to the top in Skopje and a hand will reach for the next hold in Berlin ….
In the evening at 20:00 (CET) consider joining in on a mass online post climb conference.
