    Writer Douglas Coupland describes us living in a post Koonsian world with a curated 21st century lifestyle, where everything is art and everyone can be an artist and even non-art is art by default: a readymade! Globe-trotting performance, art, music, fashion and new media provocateurs Chicks On Speed (Alex Murray-Leslie and Melissa Logan) are back with their genre-defying & shape-shifting Artstravaganza. The album and series of six interactive musical instrument APPs presents analog craft strategies alongside digital human computer interaction, in a collision between pop music, art, activism and data -- this album and international series of interactive live-art exhibitions and concerts to launch Artstravaganza invites Chicks On Speed audiences to become prosumers. Musical collaborations on Artstravaganza include Australian journalist and activist Julian Assange, philanthropist, chairman TBA21, and pop star, Princess Francesca von Habsburg, artist Yoko Ono, '60s performance artist and director of ZKM, Centre for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Peter Weibel, Singaporean artist Angie Seah, long-time Chicks On Speed collaborator Anat Ben-David and the students of Interface Cultures lab, University of Art and Design, Linz. Artstravaganza is produced by Chicks On Speed (Melissa Logan & Alex Murray-Leslie) with Christopher Just, Oliver Horton, Phill Speiser and Timor Litzenberger.

Time Ripples 08:21
Ripples licking the past washing memory refuse replaced by fresh layers of experience holding breath tumbeling in the surf on Eva Eather, trusting the oxygen supply in my blood stream it's going to feed the minutes the disriantation, where is up the sand that made me the water sustain me light that blinds a momnet in time choak & tumble down cliffs all the way from somewhere your sholder I grab on the way moments that start the time when I fall into the embrace of the blue night the waves of time will carry me away someday perfect orifaces like a vioalnt love affair sparkling fireworks are there and then gone remember the good forgive what was wrong eating the time feed the belief in knowing pulsing being thrown into the surf pushing no regard for the ages that divide the drinking of blood the sweat of your words are sustaining as I'm pulled by the tide movement synchronized real held let go tick tock, tick tock Time Piece, time consuming, first meridium, time zero time play platos heaven the seconds it takes to pulse sound of time the sound of time striking mechanism wave length light signal time zero space in time time decay spinning wheel speed of sound I can see the time in.. pure luxery oh ah oh time in music minutes pass time in music minutes pass time in music hours pass time and music days pass time and music months pass time and music years pass

God 06:52
GOD Julian Assange interview by Angela Richter AR OK. I was thinking again about this one question, you refused to answer. When I asked you if you believe in god. You where never satisfied with the question. I understand that. But then I thought, another attempt could be this one: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” So, is this a proper quotation? Can you agree? JA Well, I have used this shakespearian quote before. AR You have? In which context? JA In trying to get people to understand. They didn't have the experience to understand what the difficulties are that we go through. But I often feel like that. And I'm sure that's true for others who are enmeshed in secretive worlds. Or battles involving great complexity. Or where there's very little direct knowledge by the regular population. It's mainly fed through a press which conceals or distorts. AR Well… JA So you want me to answer the god question, eh? AR Yes. JA The statement is very true. It's true for every person. There are matters in the world which they cannot even begin to comprehend. If you're asking whether parts of the world do not correspond to classical descartes-ian view, or logical-positivist view, or newtonian determinism, then yeah. Any student of modern physics understands that the parts of the world are interconnected in time and space. Which is not at all to say that its correct description is anything like that hawked by the millions of charlatans that have existed throughout history. Trying to dupe the gullible into giving up their assets or information. AR OK. And why do you refuse to answer the god question just with no, simply? [ 04:52 ] JA I think because it is not so simple. The question must first be well-posed. I have almost never found that question well-posed. If people say: Do you believe in the abrahamic god as described by the old testament? Of course, I would say this is absurd. No one could legitimately say they believed in such a thing. And in fact, modern Christians have, including the pope, has come to a position where they say, for example, in relation to evolution, that yes the world and its organisms evolved, but some amorphous god was a subtle silent hand in the whole process. Or perhaps not, but nonetheless it was his idea, thus--- Men cannot even make a fruit fly, yet they make gods by the thousands. So I say it is: What hybris, what self-indulgence for men to dream up gods with which to use as a device behind a concealed [?] to manipulate others, claiming to have the sole understanding or communication with the powerful entity behind the curtain. It's the oldest, most boring trick in the book. Namely, if you don't do that, I will tell daddy. Daddy doesn't want you to do that. He told me. You only need to look at the language. Our father who art in heaven. To see that it's all about the relationship of men to men, children to men, women to men and their father figures. So if instead we go for the modern anglican or catholic definition, and talk about a god that is suffusing the world with some presence which is impersonal, then I say this doesn't correspond to the word. It doesn't correspond to the definition. If you want to say that the way things are, the way things progress, the way cause and effect is structured in the world. That the universe is a whole, and you want to call that “god”, then why? Why not call it a different word? It isn't really some kind of abuse of this traditional word?
