flickering tv sets.

performance project «No Pipeline NO Exotic», the istanbul artist Serhat
Köksal aka 2/5 BZ will illuminate the common cultural clichés between
Orient and Occident; With «Paradise Now – The End» Alexander Tuchacek
will reenact a moment in the history of Pop music in which the anarchic
determination to create thrilled the cybernetic controll room into
vibration; Raffael Dörig will intervene with video works; !Mediengruppe
Bitnik will explain the set-up and use of a micro pirate TV station.
The performances will take place simultaneously at the Binz39 and as a

2/5BZ, initiated in Istanbul in 1986, up until the present day,
expressing himself in a wide range of media forms. In his audiovisual

__Alexander Tuchacek: Paradise Now – The End__________________________
An attempt at a re-enactment
On the 1st of March 1969, the singer Jim Morrison called the audience to
participate through repetitive speech acts: Chaos broke loose, the stage
nearly collapsed and the concert was abandoned early.
With «Paradise Now – The End» Alexander Tuchacek sets out to trace
moments in time when effective rules and existing boundaries are
temporarily lifted; when the anarchic determination to create thrills
the cybernetic control room into vibration.
__Raffael Dörig: The Artist, the Tube (and You)_______________________
Raffael Dörig will show and comment films and videos about and by
artists who concern themselves with the televison media: Artists in
dialogue with and about television set within a performance for the
television audience at our studio and at home.
