Electronic live performance; Generali Foundation, Vienna, A, May 11th, 2000.

Opening performance at the exhibition: "RE-PLAY, the beginnings of international media-art in Austria"
 
A personal pattern of traces originating from an era (the 70ies and early 80ies), which anticipated much and rose many questions. Diverse playing-varieties of technologies, concepts and texts are the basis for an examination of the beginnings of international media-art in Austria.

With sound-samples by Ernst Caramelle, Milan Knizak, Renate Kocer, Dale Franks, Juan Navarro-Baldeweg, Vito Acconci, georg decristel, General Idea, Hermann Nitsch, Lawrence Weiner, Throbbing Gristle, Tom Marioni, Peter Downbrough, Dennis Oppenheim, Herr Lugus ...
