<div>dear adoptors</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I feel that a micro-mini community is sprouting around the rotten
elements.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It's a great pleasure to be following the mini blog that you are
keeping.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As the winter appoarches, or yeah, here, I have also been
preparing for</div>
<div>the performance event during transmediale2013. There are
two</div>
<div>events being organized.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>(1) a performance that bring together the concept of</div>
<div>composting the city|composting the net</div>
<div>(2) a meeting/panel to venture into techno-ecologies, open lab in
open fields,</div>
<div>networking the green collectives+++++</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>for (1) performance, we would have 4 people to make
together.</div>
<div>here is a brief write up for it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>(still words in process)</div>
<div>"<font color="#000000">COMPOSTING THE CITY | COMPOSTING THE
NET examines the parallel process of fermentation and fragmentation
with daily bio-produce and shared digital commons. By proposing the
composting process can be applied both to the materials (body residue,
food scrapes, paper documents) and the immaterial (info-data, net
archive), the composting performance writes its own worm codes while
rendering<br>
data noise generated by our collective data postings.</font><br>
<font color="#000000"></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">This performance brings together<font
face="Arial"> Martin Howse, who applies analogue circuits
and earthboot to translate temperature and moisture/electrochemicals
of the compost/worms/rotten properties to sound; Ayumi
Matsuzaka, who deposits her own personal body waste (i.e. hair, nails,
urine) into her practice of Terra Preta black soil composting. Ewelina
Aleksandrowicz, who renders net data as data noise, its
ever-fluctuating frequencies live-coding data spectrum, further
expands Shu Lea Cheang's matter-of-factly shuffling of archived
data, mainly of mailing lists' (i.e. nettime, spectre, empire)
postings."</font></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">As some of you have had a
chance to meet Ayumi already, I would also like to ask if you would
agree</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">to join the performance in
working through the act of composting with ayumi.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Mostly, i would also like to
list all of your names as part of the performance and to appear in the
transmediale</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">catelogue, would this be
ok?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Please check the names listed
on the credit page and tell me if these are the names you would like
to appear.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">for (2)</font> a meeting/panel
to venture into techno-ecologies, open lab in open fields,</div>
<div>networking the green collectives+++++</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Surely love to have all of you present for discussion, but if you
like to suggest someone</div>
<div>to join, please let me know. I am hoping to bring some EU
initiatives on green fields connection.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Also, please note that we will be moving the composter units to
HKW by end of january.</div>
<div>surely we can also talk about how you like to contribute your
compost for the performance.</div>
<div>We should be making some crest growing tests to see how the
compost soil turn out also.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>More planning to come</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>thanks much for taking the project into shape</div>
