+  transmissions announces trans oo4.
august 6-12,  chicago, il.

The flow of our daily lives is marked by a shifting
of our senses of time and space, and within the
ever expanding realms of a rapidly globalizing place.
We are extending ourselves into new modes of
communication enabled through digital cultures.

As a week-long event of improvised, experimental,
minimal and electronic sound featuring live [multi-
venue/international] digital video and audiocasts,
the Transmissions Festival locates itself at the
intersection of space and the Internet.  In a sense,
the experience of performed or prepared  sound
reasserts the materiality of everyday life; sound
plays a tremendous role in the construction of space.

Over the years, Transmissions has been in the
process of evolving, enabling a continued expansion.
The festival has continually involved performances
by individuals such as Bernhard Guenter, recipient of
one of twelve Honorable Mentions at the 1999 Prix Ars
Electronica, over five members of the renowned MIMEO
group, seminal artists such as John Fahey, spatially
informed sound installations, and experimental film/video
work invested in the examination of the intersections of
film and sound. This year?s festival seeks to involve
innovative and groundbreaking solutions in Digital Video
Delivery (Digital Video, editing,streaming); Trans oo4 will
also include live video/audiocasts with artists physically
located in multiple venues across Chicago, IL, and
geographically distant  spaces such as Vienna, Austria.
This year?s festival will again feature musicians,
composers, filmmakers and artists from over 8 countries,
and will take place the week of August 6-12, 2001.

Transmissions is also in the process of coordinating a
series of performances that will take place over the
course of the months prior to the festival. Trans oo4
will include performances by the following artists, in
addition to installations, and film/video screenings.
