On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Fabrique (île de Nantes, FR) 10 artists/hackers from 4 different research labs –MADLab (Limassol CY), Piksel (Bergen NO), STWST (Linz, AT), Apo33 (Nantes, FR)– at the intersection of intermedia arts, DIY, DIWO, and mediactivism come together to realise a unique improvised 2hour long multimedia performance. Together, they interpret the media and the networks on the current situation of the world and intervene as a research group employing audio, image, language, light, installation, objects, calligraphy, and their own bodies. A series of contingent semi-improvised orchestrated performance acts surfaced at this first event.

The first MEDIA()MESS public event (MEDIA()MESSe) lasted 2h and took place in La Plateforme Intermédia in Nantes FR featuring performance acts, installation, calligraphy, and solo or collective improvisations by Marinos Koutsomichalis, Julien Ottavi, Gisle Froysland, Maite Cajaraville, Katerina Undo, Jenny Pickett, Tanja Brandmayr, Jan-Nahuel Jenny, Felix Vierlinger, and Taro Klemens Knopp.
