Ballettikka Internettikka is an ongoing artistic study of the internet 
guerrilla performance. After invading the Bolsh.oi Theatre in Moscow (March 
2002), and La S.cala in Milan (November 2004), Stromajer and Zorman will 
perform a new guerrilla net net ballet -- on October 13th 2005, this time in 
another theatre house in Belgrade, Serbia.

Live internet broadcasting of the net ballet performance will start on October 
13th 2005 at 9 PM GMT+1 and will last 20 minutes (+/- 4 minutes); the location 
will be made public on Oct 13th at 20:50 GMT+1 (10 minutes before the 
performance; due to security reasons).

They will enter the office (brain center) of the Artistic Director [location 
X], where the hardest artistic decisions to run the institution are taking 
place. The artists will use remote-controlled toy-robots with wireless web 
cameras.
