Plac.Art.X - headphone festival in Regensburg 18th august

On the 18th august 2007 Plac.Art.X is taking place in Regensburg, Germany. This will be a 12 hour placard, starting at 3 pm and ending 12 hours later in night at 3am. Placard is from the french word - and here stands for headphone festivals. Placards has been going on for a while now, with start in France by Erik Minkkinen and his friends ten years ago. Usually a placard has between 12 to 24 headphones available for listening on live acts making music and sounds. It is not meant that all people shall listen at headphone all the time as an important factor is to socialize and talk about the sounds and music you or others have heard on phones. Pretty often placards are like a party at a friends place - and not without reason the device "Placard - headphone and beers" are put up at posters and invitations. The artists are usually often in the same room as the placard listeners but can also come in virtual thru audio streams on internet so placard often twistes the listeners perception of a room. A sound room. The Plac.Art.X in Regensburg will be a mix on location artists and virtual remote artists and goes well with the ongoing research of mixed reality happenings. Here is a video where you can get a pretty good overview of what a placard can be. We are now setting up the placard on the web and we take applications and suggestions. Read more on placards here. You can either join us in Regensburg or come to us thru the streams on the web. In any case, please contact us about participation with sending a mail to us at miulew at gmail dot com.

The Plac.Art.X will happen in Städtische Galerie im Leeren Beutel, Bertoldstr.9, 93047 Regensburg and are a part of the happenings during 9th aug to 1st september by media art group Pomodoro Bolzano.
