In Berlin, one discussed at a conference on the connection between computer science and rust

At the conference of computer science and rusts, which took place at the weekend in Berlin, the questioned question was, which share the military research in the development of information technologies and computer development had. For Joseph wheat tree, who lives recently in Berlin, the answer is clear. The computer is a child of the war. After the Second World War, nobody had thought of a meaningful further development. But with the Korea war, a new upswing began. The Pentagon awarded coarse orders, which were mostly civilian camouflaged. As a young mathematician of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (with) wheat tree itself was involved in such works. The reputation as a haretian in the temple of high-tech credes is ahead of the 83-year-old. Accordingly, the open event was visited on Friday evening (see also: the insecure internet as a result of miserable militar technology).

On Saturday the number of those interested was clearly shrunk. In the presentation, security research, security research, the emergence of civil accommodation and the responsibility of computer scientists was debated. The media scientist Friedrich Kittler and the secret service researcher Erich Schmidt-Eenboom asked whether one can not speak of a departure of the technological war in recent years. As an example, the dispute between Israel and Hezbollah was called. While Israel has the most modern monitoring technologies available, Hezbollah was based on a network of informants that were forwarded to messages without technological aids. Kittler sent that the Afghan Taliban and the Iraqi camphor against the USA were to be accessed on archaic information that is often not scored by modern technology. He spoke in this context of the dark side of the technology. Accordingly, the success of these movements is above all in that they are not perceived by their old-fashioned war management of modern technology at all? Or is not the picture of the God Warrants operating with archaic methods to question themselves? These questions raised in the round could not be cliable, but Hezbollah does not seem to be as archaic, after all, she continues to operate its TV channel Al-Manar despite bombing, could obviously the radio traffic of the Israeli militar and was erupted with state-of-the-art anti-tank weapons.

A conversation with Marko Peljhan over its project Makrolab

Marko Peljhan started his private Infowar at the Documenta X. The Slovene lived forty days in his homemade laboratory Makrolab on Lutterberg in the nearby Kassel. From there he stopped in the phone calls, which ran over international telecommunications satellites during this period. The American Brain Springer, with which together he carried out the project, wrote later: "We took the sky about the Lutterberg as a lively booking… From the shelves we agree with pictures and data communications." The results of this stripes through the ather were documented on a website. Although Makrolab is not a network art in the narrower sense, because the Internet serves only to uniform the macrolab activities. But the project is a one in the long series of art -lerological works with satellites, which have been carried out in the last twenty years of artists and can be considered as a leader of network art.

Marko, you have worked as an artist a lot with radio and satellite instructions. How did you come to this?

Ravers phoned too much

The youth transmitter Fritz has sent a reporter on the Love Parade with a special headdress than Lovescout: the head adorned a data helmet, equipped with a camera and a mini screened data goggles. The camera was connected to a computer and video recorder. For Radio Fritz, for Radio Fritz should be tried, pictures, tones and texts from the place of TechnoSpectAkel directly live on the Internet. However, the overraranted mobile radio technology made the planned project prematurely the gardue.
