TRANSIT LOUNGE is pleased to announce the online project website for the 2009
edition: Moving While Standing Still

http://www.transitlounge.org/2009/

TRANSIT LOUNGE 2009 is a series of multiple overlapping online conversations,
between artists located in Berlin and artists based in Australia. Dialogue
includes textual conversation, while focusing on the exchange of audiovisual
media in its variety of forms. With participants drawn from diverse
backgrounds, issues of translation and miscommunication naturally emerge.
Magnified by the nature of digital communication, nuances of gesture and body
language are lost, while time differences undermine the utopia of instant
global communication.

TRANSITLOUNGE.09 artists address these two considerations:

    * What happens when inter-continental movement becomes difficult?
    * What then, when escape from (or to) home becomes impossible?

Taking the form of three conversations, concerns of isolation, dislocation and
longing are facilitated by a two-dimensional online (audiovisual) blog
environment. Begin to explore with our artists: see through their eyes and
ears, via their mediated modes of communication, miscommunication and distance…

TRANSIT LOUNGE is a partner event of transmediale.09, supported by the
Australian Embassy in Berlin.
