AKA THE CASTLE

DISTRIBUTED CASTLE

W

MOVING FOREST[players]

CAwhich maps an imaginary Castle Central and camouflage forest
revolt (transmitter network) onto HKW and the surrounding Tiergarten
thickets and monuments. This conceptual transformation heralds
further everyday magic, with the final 12 minutes of Kurosawa’s film
version of Macbeth, Spider Web Castle, rendered into 12 hours ofsonic, coded action.
Inside the castle, a classic tale of remorse, betrayal and overthrowis rehearsed, transformed by sound artists, silk threaders and timeslicers into operatic manoeuvre and escalatory conspiracy
scheme; A networked play with both temporal and conceptual
bandwidth. Outside the castle, a mobile forest assembles for
insurgency measures armed with signals and slogans. Mobilized
urbanites divine underground network emissions, stalking camouflage
tree antenna, spidering towards the power Central. Free network andmicro radio groups force signal entries into the Castle, a final
merging of forest and castle. A last modulation, pink light.

12 hours of distributed and networked live coding/patching as a twodimensional fiction.
12 hours as pages, canvases and arrays of concatanated syntaxes,connected words and concepts rising from the spying scribes.
12 hours of machine whispers and shouts recorded as revisions ina file repository for post-event archeology.
12 hours to read-in, read-out, process, generate, print, feed, pipe
new signals and data.
12 hours as a gateway and hub for the Moving Forest inhabitants.
12 hours to explore.

1]Remorse

How can a forest move?

She washes and washes.
The water basin is empty.
She washes and washes.
The blood flows off the body.
The Lady Supreme
conceives a dead baby.
The Lady Supremeconcotes a conspiracy.
I wash I wash.

2]Betrayal

The lord his army face-off.
The arrows hit ... 1, 2, 3 ...
come the downpour.
He scrambles onstage.
An act of his own.
A stage all to himself.
Raindrops keep falling..
They keep fallin'

3]OverthrowHe falls
in arrow stitched armor.
He bows
down the thundering ground.
The silence descends.
The air stills.
Rain has stopped.

4]Insurgency

The rebellion marches in antennas.
Swarming an infested urban site,
spiderweb in deep forest.
Tunneling through the wall,
cutting through the air,stealing the act.
How can a forest move?

5]Eternal return: goto 0]
The dust settles.
The DIY kingdom replaced.
The legend recycled.
The witches rejoice.
The chanting echoes.
The castle remains.
Pink light in the midst.

1]Remorse

Washing imaginary blood from thehands of Lady Macbeth. The nowhere spider web forest is exactly
this opening image.

2]Betrayal:

The betrayal of reality which is(internal) silver foil cloud crash.
A question of interface (to thecentral), arrow markers pointing
the way in city-scape.

3]Overthrow

The establishment of an alternative
network (W.A.S.T.E) however
fictional, transmission from rooftops, massing of small devices,
detournement of city structures foremission. Extrusion of anotherspace.

4]Insurgency

A mobile forest-as-camouflage on
the move through/as the city itself,meshing with Electromagneticsubstance. An unintentional deceit(world interface) matches theprogram or prediction.
Repetition: how can a forest move?

5]Eternal return: goto 0]

The conspiracy returns and thus
remains. The grey castle remains.
Pink light revelation. After the play
- the removal of the duplicitous
double (reality) which is both
author (the author of the script isexposed) and the third person (heor she said/did this).
... here time changes into space.
