Huis Clos | No Exit – On Translation — Telematic performance with 6 performers :: May 29, 2010; 8:30 pm :: Netherlands Media Art Institute, Keizersgracht 264, 1016 EV Amsterdam. (Part of the Performmikka Internettikka event curated by Petra Heck)

6 Netartists will challenge one another into collective actions. What will happen when they will only use their mother tongue and code to communicate? — Annie Abrahams in Amsterdam (NIMk) will only speak Dutch :: Ruth Catlow in London will only speak English :: Paolo Cirio in London will only speak Italian :: Ursula Endlicher in New York will only speak German :: Nicolas Frespech in Montélimar will only speak French :: Igor Stromajer in Hamburg will only speak Slovenian.

Any malfunctioning will be part of the game and must be assumed, never panic. Nothing can go wrong, all is permitted, we can play but we don’t have to – silence is beautiful.
