Stockhausen's use and interpretation of shortwave broadcasting - lecture + documentary :: 7/11 - 8pm:In the sixties (during what probably was the most metaphysical phase in his career) Stockhausen used shortwave radio as a source of musical information.

Transgressing the boundaries of everyday-life: considering radio as an apparatus of distribution - lecture performance by Ligna Collective (D) :: 18/11 -- 8.30 pm :: Nowadays radio seems to be an old-fashioned modern medium and the hope Brecht had is now projected - again often enough merely in a technical sense - on the internet and open source approaches. LIGNA proposes with its work a different perspective: We have to get rid of the technical reading of Brecht and recognise that his critique was meant in a social and political way. Only as an apparatus of distribution, radio could organise it's listeners and thus intervene in everyday-life situations - and thus could provide means to overcome a society that is based on the exchange of commodities. The lecture will discuss this thesis and it's aesthetical implications with a lot of examples and images of Ligna's work.
