Confrontation of the media

• Media networks cannot be planned in advance, they are created and then set into motion. Only space-time-bandwidths can be determined, within which certain events have a propensity to occur. (Andres Bosshard - participating artist CH)

Information can be alternately extracted or entered at all junction points.
Although the listener can not directly influence the action, through the special form of networked live production he/she becomes involved in the stream of acoustic events and is drawn by these through the geographic depths to the source of the action

Depending on the respective positions of the broadcasting stations within the network, the programmes broadcast will diverge. They are different versions of the event which nevertheless possess full validity. A model of the plurality of realities, typical of dynamic communications systems.
