Remote Citizen

REMOTE CITIZEN, Istanbul, 15.10.2011 –

Street performance, participants conducted in public space by wireless system. The project REMOTE CITIZEN was till now performed in 17 european cities in France, Switzerland, Turkey and Armenia. More to follow..

Up to 50 actors are telecommanded via wireless intercom (remote directing).

The goal is to perceive the motion flow in public places, directly analyse it and use it in its spontaneous evaluation via performative elements. Through direct control of the actions, remote citizen influences the flow of normality, deflects it, brings it to a standstill, or speeds it up. The intervention is subtle, it gives the place a slight temporary stir that can be mysterious, eerie, or funny.

Grisu and the year of the dragon at milk gallery

Dragon’s odds and ends

Grisu has a dream
dragons should resist
since a drop might be
the void for their means

fire and rain
complementary and plain
are getting best friends
by nothing less

then visions and thoughts
of sparkling spirits
a dragon is made of

Milk gallery Istanbul recently had a show called, “the year of the dragon”.

“Siglia Grisu” is an Italian Animation movie having been broadcasted in the 1970th. It showed
the resistance of the little dragon Grisu against the plans of his father for him to become a firespitting dangerous dragon. He wants to be a firefighter.

Beside the clips of Grisu there are Artworks of dragons by Hatice Pamuk, Burak Şentürk, Cins,
Furkan Birgün and Uğur Unsoy from the exhibition: “The year of the dragon” at milk gallery,
Istanbul.

Borderline

This post has been updated. Roee was released at around 4 a.m. local time.

I am writing this from a Turkish police center in Ceylanpinar. Located in eastern Turkey along the border with Syria, it is in Urfa province and it’s population is mostly ethnic Kurdish.

My television crew and I were filming along the border about the Kurdish divide and Turkish fears in Ankara about a power vacuum in northern Syria.

Two secret police spotted us filming from a rooftop the Syrian town – in full Kurdish control, meaning no Syrian troops or rebel fighters in sight.

It is unclear to me if we will be just detained and then let go, or actually arrested. (I would imagine the latter would be preposterous because we didn’t really do anything, and also because today the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is visiting in Istanbul and meeting with the country’s top leaders. It would be rather untimely to have Turkish police arrest an American journalist trying to cover from Turkish soil the conflict in neighboring Syria. Especially just as Washington pledges $5.5 million in “non-lethal aide” to help the rebels win their war against Syrian President Bashar Assad, a cause which aligns with Turkish interests.)

I guess it can’t be all that bad, since the police are letting me write this post on my iPhone while they try to figure out why I also have an Israeli passport. And while my detention is annoying, if for no other reason than losing valuable filming daylight, it does highlight Turkish edginess in this part of the country. Ankara fears that Kurds in eastern Turkey may be emboldened by chaos in northern Syria, political autonomy for Kurds in northern Iraq, and anti-Turkey sentiment – backed by Tehran, in northwest Iran. These are all ethnically Kurdish areas which separatists envision as a future, united state.

In recent weeks, Turkish troops killed more than one hundred Kurdish fighters in eastern Turkey, who they argued are being armed and backed by Kurdish terrorists across the border in Iraq. No doubt the offensive was also meant to send a message to Kurds in northern Syria to think twice before exciting their brethren across the border.

Oh, time to go back in to the Police Chief’s office.

Techno in Famagusta

Famagusta is a pretty town in Northern Cyprus and was founded already 300 BC. Due to the isolation of
the Northern part, turizm didn’t develop so rapoid.ç That has the adventage of the preservation of
nature and the historical heritage.
