Art + Tech. talks @ Location One (4/14 Wed Drazen Pantic / open source)

Location One announces a new weekly event:

Open House on Wednesdays from 7 - 9 PM

Beginning April 7, Location One initiated a new series of Wednesday
evening of talks and artist presentations on various topics. We are
proud to include renowned curators and specialists from many
disciplines, questioning and reflecting upon different aspects of our
highly mediated contemporary society.

In this first month of April 2004, we will focus on art and
technology. The events will address such themes as peer-to-peer
biofeedback mechanisms; server-based mediation of dreams; robotcats;
and implied morality of network incisions.
