<div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On Monday 24 September the 2<sup>nd</sup>
meeting took place at Art Laboratory Berlin at </span><span lang="EN-US">7PM</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Among the attendees were Christian de Lutz
(Art Laboratory </span><span lang="EN-US">Berlin</span><span lang="EN-US">), Erika Šiekštelytė (Panke e.V.), Gaia, Bartolini (Liebich 12),
Desiree Foerster (free curator), Susanne Jaschko (free curator- Prozessagenten),
Stefan Hoeppe, (free curator), Tatiana Bazzichelli (transmediale /reSource) ,
Daniela Silvestrin (transmediale), Georgia Nicolau (transmediale /reSource) and
3-4<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>other guests.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span lang="EN-US">1. The main topic of conversation was how
to build<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>a network of<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">Berlin</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> spaces
dedicated to technology based arts</span> (new media*).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.25pt"><span lang="EN-US">*The term ‘new
media’ was questioned by some participants as it doesn’t fit the diversity of
emerging forms (e.g. bio arts, environmental art, etc) “technology based art”
seemed to fit as a temporary fill in . (Also suggested: “21<sup>st</sup>
century arts”)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:35.25pt"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span lang="EN-US">2. Possible goals of such a network include
raising the profile of “technology based arts” in the large </span><span lang="EN-US">Berlin</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> art world</span>.
This will help individual spaces receive more attention and gain more funding.
Also regular meetings will increase exchange of ideas and information between
spaces and give life to possible synergies for common projects, rhizomatic
exhibition structures or multi-space interactive events.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">3. One result could be a<span style="font-weight: bold;"> common platform</span>
(such as a website) to inform the public of events in “technology based arts”
happening in </span><span lang="EN-US">Berlin</span><span lang="EN-US">. This site could also be linked to a common <span style="font-style: italic;">QR/ barcode</span> image, that
could be displayed at venues and across the city with a link to the web
platform.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Also the idea of a series of ‘modds,’ one
in each space, was put forward. Visitors could ‘carry’ a memory stick from
space to space with updated information, thus creating an<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>artwork common between spaces which also
functions as an information portal (QR code and Modd were the ideas of
Erika/Panke e.V.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">4. It was decided that <span style="font-weight: bold;">to agree on a
platform and set of goals, more spaces need to be involved</span> (a minimum of 8 or 9
– three were present at the meeting). <br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">An open call for spaces to take part will
take place via the reSource mailing list, as well as a mailed invitation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span lang="EN-US">The reSource mailing-list will be used for
further coordination of the project’s members, towards the creation of an
independent common platform.</span></span></div>
