providing experience in the field of sound and free software dedicated to
the creation. From March 26 to 30 the next World Social Forum will be held
in Tunise, in which the collective Nomad propose alternative technologies
and free réappropriable by everyone. We offer several workshops in the
studios of the Association to discover the technologies that we develop for
Project Nomad.

We have a situation!

We have a situation! is a series of live, trans-border, online-offline
participatory performances addressing current cross-cultural European
issues.

"There is no use in deceiving ourselves with hope. Our most effective
course is to confront the situation as it is, and if it is still bad, to
acknowledge the badness, trusting in the truth as the premise of any
improvement, and feeling a new security because of the very fact that we
have met and verified the worst." - Clement Greenberg, The collected Essays
and Criticism, vol.2, Arrogant Purpose, p192.

During the first quarter of 2013, networked performances will take place at
local venues and simultaneously in the online platform UpStage, sharing
stories across European national borders and posing questions that
creatively frame a specific situation.

After each performance, audiences connecting online in real time will
participate in discussions that imagine creative solutions to the
situation. This process aims to bring people together in a creative event
and foster an understanding of countries as communities of people, with
many commonalities.

Four "situations" will be created in four countries - France, Netherlands,
UK and Austria - with each "situation" involving a 5-day workshop and the
performance. Each "situation" will be transparent and the entire process
made available online with the aim of producing a performance model that
can be adopted and adapted by other artists and organisations for their own
"situations".

The project is supported by a grant from the European Cultural Foundation
and the partners are:

exhibitions, conferences, New-media meetings, festivals etc...

Tourism, this melting pot of activity brings with it large audiences both
seeking to discover new experiences and those who stumble upon the work of

discussion for both artist(s) and the audience. These events are seen as an
important space to create dialog and futher the debates surrounding issues
in contemporary art and sound. After one year, APO33/La Plateforme

associations working at the cutting edge of arts, culture and technology.La
