The second session of VMS (Vilnius Media Seminar) has taken place in 
Vilnius Art Academy on 19th of February (2007). The topic this time was 
"Strategies of tactical media: noise makes sense".  At first during the 
seminar the tactical media as a concept was presented and then the 
significance of tactical media in Eastern Europe was discussed. The key 
speakers were Alexei Krivolap [BY] and Benjamin Cope [UK, PL]. The 
moderation was held by Vytautas Michelkevicius. At the moment we are 
publishing audio files and pictures from the seminar and in a meanwhile 
we are going to publish the presentations as a working papers here as 
well.

There were around 30 participants in this seminar. Alexei Krivolap 
presented the situation of tactical media in Ukraine and Belarus. He 
screened two tactical media pieces: the serial from Belarus "Web-master 
& Margarita" which is a remake of very popular russian soap opera 
"Master & Margarita" and tactical media pieces from Ukraine - "Funny 
Egs".
Benjamin Cope has presented his experience in making radio shows to 
Polish radio stations. His experiences in travelling all around the 
country and interviewing local people without having good polish skills 
was very much of the tactical nature. You can listen to these 
presentations and discussion here.
