monochrom presents: ++TAUGSHOW #14++

Friday, September 21, 2007 / 8:30 PM @ Metalab, Vienna

The flat hierarchies of talk shows are about as subversive as NYC
Democrats smoking dope. But count us out! We won't produce a talk show.
Nope. We produce a TAUGSHOW! Which means: we dig it. Our guests are geeks,
heretics, and other coevals. A joyful bucket full of good clean
fanaticism, crisis, language, culture, self-content, identity, utopia,
mania and despair, condensed into the well known cultural technique of a
prime time TV show.
[taugen; Viennese slang: to dig/love/adore something]

Special Guest Hosts: Nikita Chrusov and Gennadyi Moloshnikov (from Soviet
Unterzoegersdorf)

/// EMMANUEL GOLDSTEIN ON HACKING AND POPULAR CULTURE
Hacking is, very simply, asking a lot of questions and refusing to stop
asking. He says this is why computers are perfect for inquisitive people
-- they don't tell you to shut up when you keep asking questions or
inputting commands over and over and over. But hacking doesn't have to
confine itself to computers. Anyone with an inquisitive mind, a sense of
adventure and strong beliefs in free speech and the right to know most
definitely has a bit of the hacker spirit in them.
We’ll ask Emmanuel Goldstein about hacking and popular culture.
Eric Gordon Corley, also frequently referred to by his pen name of
Emmanuel Goldstein, is a prominent figure in the hacker community. He and
his non-profit organization 2600 Enterprises, Inc., together publish a
magazine called “2600: The Hacker Quarterly“, which Corley founded in
1984. He hosts a weekly radio program in New York called "Off the Hook."

/// JASON BROWN ON NON-HUMAN ENTITIES AND COMMUNICATION
How would non-human entities communicate with the primates of earth? Would
they use radio signals? Or poorly built spaceships which inexplicably
crash in the desert? Or would they communicate through highly charged
symbols and bizarre psycho-sexual performances?
Jason Brown is an ambient noisemaker, constellation manipulator, and
paranoid historiographer. He is consigliere of Machine Project, a Los
Angeles based non-profit which encourages heroic experiments of the
gracefully over-ambitious. He is director of Superbunker, a framework for
conducting and disseminating critical and creative research. He was a
founding member of c-level, a collaborative group which focused on media,
protest and play. He is acting janitor of Betalevel, an underground venue
beneath Chinatown. He is an instructional technologist at Pomona College.
