FESTIVAL EUROPE 2010 (MFF 2010) is a pilot project for artists and media designers. It will employ the networked urban screens infrastructures in ‘Joint Broadcasting Events’ throughout Europe for transnational circulation of artistic and cultural exchange.

The Media Facades Festival series reflects the worldwide increasing presence of massive infrastructures with digital visual elements in urban public space. As a counter movement against the primary commercial use of urban screens and media facades, the festival focuses on content in the context of the reinvention of public sphere based on a wellbalanced
mix of functions. Representing the idea of the resident as an active citizen instead of a well-behaved consumer, it zooms into the cultural and participatory potential of digital moving images as a new urban communication format. Let‘s reclaim the Screens - as a format for the creation and exchange of culture, strengthening local creative economies, and providing local identity! Let‘s create Vision Panels between the virtual and real public spaces based on new cooperation models between sociopolitical, cultural, architecturally aesthetic and economic interests. Please visit http://www.mediafacades.eu for the full festival program.

Upgrade! Berlin presents: Iliadahomero - Language as Code
Dates:
Fri Jun 08, 2007 00:00 - Wed May 30, 2007
Upgrade! Berlin presents the European tour of Iliadahomero from Brazil
Brazilian composer & director Octavio Camargo from Curitiba shows together with Claudete Pereira Jorge an interpretation of the first chant of the Iliade, the epos of Homer.
The Iliade is known as the most ancient oeuvre of occidential literature. The 50-minutes monologue reveals the impact of this text as the source code of European culture.
The performance will be in Portuguese, but the underlying semiotics of this piece can be grasped beyond any language restraints. And that's exactly the intention of this play: Homer is used here as a media and a vehicle for interaction in different platforms of language, thus projecting different translations to different idioms.
"I see language as a code" says Octavio Camargo, "and with this dramatic piece, we want to share this code with our audience. I believe that the texts of Homer can provide a deep understanding of the modern human condition."
Indeed, the Iliade is a veritable semiotic knot of the European culture and still, after 2500 years, provides a broad array of the most important archetypes and topoi of the occidental thinking.
Interpretation: Claudete Pereira Jorge | Director: Octavio Camargo | Translation: Odorico Mendes
Claudete Pereira Jorge is a popular actress from Brazil, who has been working on many different theatre and film stages for more than 30 years now.
Octavio Camargo is a composer and theatre director, and has been teaching Aesthetics and Harmony at the University of Arts in Parana (EMBAP), Brazil, since 1992.
Iliadahomero is currently guest at the Thessaloniki Biennial http://www.thessalonikibiennale.gr/ and will continue its travels throughout different European cities of the Upgrade! network http://theupgrade.net
