structure

The festival Liwoli, happening in Linz between April 23rd and 25th, and named 'Hacklab for art and Open Source', was a great gathering of very interesting people. Among other things, including a very crazy performance that culminated with the total erasure of the system while making real time video with Pure Data (without back up and in a totally unsafe fashion), the Virtual Entity 'research software' was presented during the Friday evening session.

The first Imaginary Property intervention inspired a new thread of research. As we decided to implement a non-structured experiment, Ted Byfield, our guest, was invited to improvise on the topic of Imaginary Property following a very loose and open structure. His intervention revealed, by the end of the meeting, a powerful new approach to the topic. Ted started introducing himself following salient events of his own biography which could inject a reflection on our research; by the end of his speech, I could draw an unexpected connection on my note book: there are similarities between systems to define time, so to say calendars, and domain name systems.
