have you been talking to christoph? anyway, i am coming down with something today (again, and am in aching pain right now) but we will see, maybe, i'll be fine tomorrow and can pop over with the draeger-holzfeind's who have already insisted that i attend.
so pleased to hear that you have been thinking of the hörspiel. are in the realm of the totalitarian state? or off somewhere else?

LOVE, PIRACY, AND THE OFFICE OF RELIGIOUS WEBLOG EXPANSION a participatory installation
On a censor's desk lie stacks of identical books awaiting redaction. In each book, a provocative text - the transcript of an interview with Iranian philosopher Ali Alizadeh - is censored by hand. The censorship scheme is exacting and draconian, leaving only one (different) word of the text exposed in each copy.
Reflecting the content of the text (in which Alizadeh traces the polyvalent impact of new technologies on freedom of expression in Iran), LOVE, PIRACY... continues online as an experiment in collective uncovering. Holders of the book are invited to collude in undermining the censor's efforts by sharing their unique words at the project website. As words are shared, so the text is gradually revealed to all.
