Torsten Michaelsen, Gruppe LIGNA, Hamburg/D
The free radio group LIGNA was set up in 1995 by the media theorists and radio artists Ole Frahm,
Michael Hüners and Torsten Michaelsen, all working for "Freies Sender Kombinat (FSK)",
community radio initiative, Hamburg. In various shows and performances they have examined the meaning of
diversion in or of radio broadcasting by refering amongst other things to forgotten or discarded uses of
this medium and developing thereby new practices and procedures (Mental Radio Show). Production of performative
radio plays (Labyrinthe und Interferenzen. Ein nächtlicher Gang durch eine sterbende Stadt– Labyrinths and Interferences. A walk at night through a dying city)
and development of concepts as to how the radio can intervene in public spaces that are under surveillance,
so that the public there reemerges as a situation out of control (Radioballett: Übung in unnötigem Aufenthalt – Radioballet:
An exercise in unnecessary loitering). With these different models they examine both theoretically and practically the
limits of (liberal) media theory, of closed artistic space and of political intervention.

Wolfgang Temmel, sinnlos/Blind TV, Graz/A
Wolfgang Temmel, born in 1953, stays in New York and London, now living in Wies in Styria. Work in various media and art forms. In and through various projects temporally or spatially not simultaneous “works of art” emerge from shared authorship or joint processes of authorship. These works are not mainly intended to be objects of art, but ought to reflect the creative process itself. In the production of these works Temmel creates momentary systems based on prevailing contexts and mechanisms, which he takes up, goes over and transforms into a part of his work: “space” of art which cannot be depicted and which can only partially be grasped in finished “products” (video, book, radiowork, CD, brooch) as this is about forms of dialogue, the interplay of intentions and accidents, events that these projects provide a stage for without entirely defining them.
