Since the farcically unfair trial of anti-Putin Russian punk
rock trio Pussy Riot ended last week, the rousing and
powerful closing statement by band-member Yekaterina
Samutsevich has been making the rounds online, both in its
original Russian and in an English translation. Below is her statement in full.

Behzat Ç. / Bir Ankara Polisiyesi – Son Jenerik from ya da film production on Vimeo.
Ya Da Film produced a cute Animation movie about the Turkish success serial Behzat Ç.
The plot of the original serial is playing in Ankara. The screenwriters managed to create some very pure characters. They set up a crime utopia with an alcoholic anti Hero, who has lost everything, but is still trying to practice his own understanding of justice.
Erdal Beşikçioğlu is outstanding as Behzat and also the rest of the cast, some of them rather unknown before, are very successfull in their roles.
Behzat Ç. got the highest money fine ever given in Turkey in June 2012. The production company has to pay about 130.000 Euro for the bad influence of the serial on youngsters approach to alcohol.
The Animation movie underlines the contents of the serial with it’s plenty references to the Western culture of Turkish politics. Very fine work!
realtime research is an interdisciplinary ensemble that includes media artists, sound artists, electronic and acoustic musicians, composers, designers, architects and writers.
Since 2001, when trumpeter, conceptualist, and composer matthias mainz founded the ensemble, realtime research has presented a permanent installation, concerts and performances in temporary environments and interdisciplinary workshops.
For realtime research, the term “realtime” has several meanings. In addition to referring to computed communication, realtime implies art of the moment, the “art of now” in improvisation, in progress, and in the research of sociological and political phenomena.
realtime research expects to create a paradox: elements that maintain characteristics that are sometimes contradictory but that are still part of a cohesive work.
