On sunny day of 24th of April MIMOSA installation was taken to the streets of Linz in search of everyday people that will use it as a free media and say whatever is on their minds without usual filters of commercial media. Our small group had lots of fun with trying to attract passers by to come and share their thoughts with us.

Many of them arrived and gave us their opinions on city of Liz, on independent culture, about ongoing Linz Culture Capital 09,  free radio work in Linz etc.

Some of the passers by were students that have been demonstrating that day in Linz due to schools reforms affecting them. Estimated 12 000 students gathered that day at Hauptplatz, main square of Linz.

Thanx to the whole MIMOSA crew, audio interwievs will be published soon.

LNT performed at Museum for Image and Sound in Sao Paulo on 24/01/09 and in Cidadao do Mundo club, Sao Caetano on 07/02/09. Both performances were accompanied with Alexandre Torres Porres, who will also accompany LNT on planed Brazil tour in late March, early April.

CR 2.0 had updates in software and hardware applications in both interactivity and in creation of robots. WII controller was hacked for position tracking of the robots. PD patches were updated to incorporate audio visual representations of the locations and new design in robots was introduced to create less chance for them to entangle into each other.

New map inhabitants were also robots made by young people attending robot making workshops. Both robots and maps were intriguing  younger and older audience.

Installation needed calibrating and it went trough couple of stages of production to fit place and its surrounding in best possible way.

Final installation:

Participative installation CultureRobot created trough collaboration work by Ricardo Palmieri (BR) and Kruno Jošt (HR) will stage its second appearance at culture center SESC in Sao Jose dos Campos. SESC custos Juliano Bomeisel and Sergio Seabra invited CultureRobot to happen as a process of opening of this center in SJC.

SJC will be mapped with GPS systems during the workshops from 20^th to 24^th January ‘09. Positions like clubs, social centers, gas stations, museums, factories and parking lots will be mapped and data from those places gathered. Participants will demonstrate personal narration about interdependencies between cultural and social conditions of urban territory they live in.

During opening session of Dorkbot Rio a team of deconstructionalists have performed once again. This time a ‘Fusca’ (popular Beetle or Volkswagen) produced in 1968 was carved down on 24th May 2008, 40 years after it was produced and 40 years after counterculture and those revolutionary days which are so much evoked in the Brazilian media today, due to older rich people remembering them as the ‘days when they were driving Beetles with the flowers in their hair’.

Dorkbot Rio was hosted by Circo Voador, famous club in the heart of Rio da Janeiro. Production unit were: Bruno Tarin, Bruno Vianna, Giuliano Bonorandi and Kruno Jost. Thousands of thanx to many others that helped and worked with us making video or photographic documentation we can all enjoy now. Thanx again to all people that came for the event and joined in at the end in the manner that I have encountered only with people from Brasil.
