Visual impressions about the "Electric Alien" - Mixed Reality Performance on Nov. 24th 2009 in St.Petersburg and Cyland/SL. In RL Andrey Bartenev´s performance took place, which was streamed to Cyland/SL, where in an alien space inworld-visitors became aliens themselves and were part of the performance.

Cyberfest-addition
As there were a lot of artists invited to Cyberfest 2009, of course some cool conversations took place! At the Frants Gallery Space, when Pinkpink arranged an SL scene and people were allowed to try it out on their own, she met Carol Parkinson, director of Harvestworks, together with Hans Tammen she was presenting a sound installation named "Echolocation". Carol was very excited about SL, and said that they want to start their own project inworld. Hope so! Also Denny Daniel, who is running some funny projects, watch out his Museum of interesting things, checked out SL very carefully, threw away some not locked walls in Cyland, told what he already did...and asked a lot about what he can do more! And Raphaele Shirley, who was there to present [PAM] - perpetual art machine - she had a lot of compliments for Pinkpink´s creations and carefully listed them. Thank her so much! And DJ Spooky also! He liked the idea to implement his work Kino Pravda in SL, and therefore gave us a DVD for a better output. It was a pity that the "Electric Alien" scene inworld could not have been shown to the real life public during the live-performance by Andrey Bartenev, which was streamed inworld - there were, lets say, some difficulties - to learn about! - but a documentation-video will follow. Please stay tuned! And find videos about Cyberfest already at www.cyland.ru and read what Brian Droitcour wrote about it at rhizome.org!
CYBERFEST summary
let´s say it with the words of a friend: it was a blast! although Pinkpink struggled in both worlds and always mentioned that probably all of us are here and there for the first time, there were a lot of things happening and we had more than 100 visitors! It seems also that we have some fans, to whom never one of us talked, they might be from the other side of the world, but we´d like to thank them for their continously interest: Floyd Field, Ever Rexen, Gilles Monstre. And it is definitely to thank a lot again to Mechatiki Research, who´s alien-avatars were the silent stars and who else helped a lot to manage the inworld scenes, and to 5tefan Negulesco, who kept us dancing to his supercollider live sounds, and to Mr. Stefan Lutschinger, who accidentally stayed in St. Petersburg, but then offered his (10) helping hands in real life - what we would definitely have missed, and he also took care a bit of Pinkpink´s nerves. And of course we also say a lot of thanks to the Cyberfest team, in the end all the technical problems were solved - and what we definitely learned for the future is: no more mixed reality events without enough bandwidth! Please bear with us. We thank you for coming and hopefully you had some fun or at least a kind of interesting impressions!
