late Twilight, October 3, 1997



Dear Syndicalists, and all other non-associated, yet virtually syndical
beings...

we, the Bauhaus Dessau and the Cultural Information Centre, both of Dessau,

are proud to announce, in 

Commemoration of the Closing of this 7th Day of German Unification,

and after many months of intensive labour, 

the BIRTH of our 3rd child: 


OSTRANENIE 97 - THE INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MEDIA FORUM        NOVEMBER 5
- 9, 1997


weighing in at 63 videos, 22 installations, 12 web projects, 10
perfomances, 1 major Syndicate meeting, 
as well as numerous lectures, special presentations and the appearance of
many more notable figures including (we hope) yourselves!
 

We wish to invite you to the official baptism, taking place on 

Wednesday, November 5th, 1997 at 18.00 on the stage of the Bauhaus in
Dessau, Germany 

and to join us in a round of toasts and introspective entertainment
provided by, among others, the Minister President of the State of
Saxony-Anhalt and,

at 20.00 a special performance - the "Doppelkonzert" - by the Hungarian
sound artist Tibor Szemzš. 

Thereafter, we invite our guests to dinner (and further toasts) at the
GRAND OPENING/PREMIERE of 

NETLounge - the OSTRANENIE exclusive JAVA-CLUB address: 

for network projects, the PARAHOUSE (a live interactive multi-media
environment conceived by the Egon March Institute, Ljubljana), on-line
chats, all night video screenings and much more.....


The final programme, which will be made available shortly on the
soon_to_be_up OSTRANENIE Web Site at 

WWW.OSTRANENIE.ORG

as well as through these Syndicate mailings, includes a wide spectrum of
works by members of the electronic arts community covering ca. 30 countries
investigating the current ambience of change 

- be it revolution, stagnation, revolt, euphoria, personal insight, or
critical reflection - 

in the context of the European cultural and artistic transformation
process.


We sincerely look forward to having you as our guests in Dessau, with best
regards on behalf of the ostranenie team,

Stephen Kovats (godfather)
