The last city of the visiblesound_audibleimage-tour was Tartu. Tartu is the second largest city of Estonia and mostly inhabited by students. It's a rather small town, with a mixture of modern and sovjet architecture combined with surburbian shopping-centers.
Our accomodation was elsewhere, 45 km southwards in a small village called Mooste, which we visited at the beginning of this tour. MoKs is the media-center - with John Grzinich as the initiator - which initiated the Pushing the Medium-event during the last weeks of October. Pushing the Medium is a symposium, existing in different parts such as discussions, public presentations, performances and workshops.
A workshop, performance and screening was organized by us.

The performance took place in a high-profile theater, located near the river in the center of Tartu. It was close, but the citycouncil of Tartu decided to sponsor the experimental Pushing the Medium event, which was called Hell i Vision in the Estonian language. After giving a hint 'to come closer so you can see what we are doing' the whole audience stood up and came down to the stage to stand around us. We never thought they would take the 'hint' so serious and it was for some of us a big surprise to have people looking over your shoulder while performing.. See more pictures --> click here

The screening was hold in the context of the opening of the Hell i vision symposium. As an introduction to the theme of the live-experimental image and sound-theme, it was a well received presentation, hold in the hu-gallery in Tartu. See more pictures --> click here

At the Tartu-artschool, we held a one-day workshop, dealing with the principles of experimental live-cinema and electronic sound. The participants were interested, and we tried to trigger some discussion about copyright, the difference betweent the music and film-industry and so on. At the end of the workshop, we presented several projects which we organized / initiated in the last few years. We included some student-work as well, since we thought the audience would appreciate that. Later on a teacher of the Art-school said to us, that the people here aren't used to see experimental media-art - the most of them are more commercially oriented, or focussed on the paying job they have after their school-time.
