Ballettikka Internettikka is an ongoing artistic study of the
internet guerrilla performance. After invading The Bolsh.oi Theatre
in Moscow (March 2002), La S.cala in Milan (November 2004) and The
National Theatre in Belgrade (October 2005), Stromajer and Zorman
will perform a new guerrilla net ballet -- on July 9th 2006, this
time in the men's toilet in the basement of the Volks.bühne Berlin.
Internet broadcast of the net ballet performance will start on July
9th 2006 at 9 PM GMT+1 and will last 17 minutes (+/- 6 minutes).

Artists will use low-tech mobile and wireless equipment for the
invasion and live broadcast: a semi-automatic flying toy-cow with
wireless spy-camera, 11 toy-robots (one of them with infra-red
sensors), two laptops, one MiniDV camera, MP3 audio systems, a video
mixing device, etc and a public unprotected wireless internet
connection point (wLAN), available for free at the Rosa-Luxemburg
Square in Berlin (signal strength in the basement of Volks.bühne:
2/5) and free RealProducer (version 11.0) and Live LE software for
streaming video and audio live manipulation.
Ballettikka Internettikka: VolksNetBallet will happen on the very
same evening and at the very same time as another huge people's
festivity -- the final match of the World Soccer Cup 2006, which also
takes place in Germany.

Dancing a wireless people's internet ballet in Volks.bühne Berlin
represents a big conceptual and strategic challenge to the Intima
Virtual Base and all the collaborators, therefore, the preparations
have been taken seriously, safety measures have been calculated, and
the previous experiences from the Bolsh.oi Theatre in Moscow, La
S.cala in Milan and The National Theatre in Belgrade have been very
welcome.
Note: Volks.bühne Berlin does not voluntarily co-operate in the
project, but was selected based on the conceptual strategy of the
project. The management of the Volks.bühne Berlin is not a co-
producer of this project and does not co-operate in the process of
its realization.
