>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.

One remark/footnote: Oleg Kireev has just 
published a great book in Russian about Tactical 
Media ("Povarennaya kniga media-aktivista" - "The 
cookbook of the media activist", Ultra Kultura, 
Ekatarinburg 2006).

>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".

"Master i Margerita" is also the title of a great 
novel by Mikhail Bulgakov - it belongs to the 
best pieces of writing about Stalinism I know ;-) 
Bulgakov completed it in the 1930s, but it was 
only published in the Soviet Union in 1966 (well, 
a censored version)

Many greetings,
Inke
