October 21st 8pm
How will Aileen Derieg, Cornelia Sollfrank, Dmytri Kleiner and Marc
Garrett react to the chunk
of A Hacker Manifesto
(http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors0/warktext.html) by McKenzie
Wark.[version 4.0]
we prepared for them. How will they read and rewrite it. Did something
change since 2004?

October 22nd 8pm
Alessandro Ludovico, Jennifer Chan, Lanfranco Aceti and Ruth Catlow
will be confronted with a part of
the ARPANET dialogues (http://www.arpanetdialogues.net/) from 1975 -1976.
What we thought to be a historic moment when figures from within and
without the established
art cannon first encountered the disruptive effects of digital network
communications, turned out
to be an ongoing research project by Bassam El Baroni, Jeremy Beaudry
and Nav Haq.

This pre-Internet chatroom conversation between Jim Henson, Ayn Rand,
Yoko Ono and Sidney Nolan
is fake. But it's amazing.

Interview by Richard Fischer, CultureLab with Jeremy Beaudry
(http://meaning.boxwith.com/) ,
one of the artists behind the project. April 2011.

Reading Club  proposes a text and an interpretive arena to 4 readers.
These readers write together their reading of a text inside the text itself.
The audience sees an evolving, cinematographic picture of thoughts and
collaborative writing in the making.
The project supported by the Dicréam.

Reading Club is
* an intertextual play and an interpretive arena
* a device to explore reading on the web
* a factory of moving texts
* testing (once more) the status of the author
* a place where the public has a voice
