AD UNDAS - pervert and mental case at the beach

Ad Undas Breakthrough Event, 27th June 2009.

Ad undas is a social network service using the sea as medium. The network uses messages in bottles as the main communication. More than connecting and interacting with other people, as in Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., ad undas aims at a dislocation of representation (people, time, space), and an uncycling of events, as a breakthrough from semi-closed web circuits towards a widening perception of communication and state of affairs, expressed in the three-fold strategy of listening, gleaning, and littering, literally networking out of a waste bag.

The second server of ad undas network -"vibrate 'tourists'"- was launched launched saturday 27th June 2009 as part of the Breakthrough event distributed across Berlin locations, inter-network and radio space, organized by _____micro_research [Berlin].

Server was setup for sending and receiving messages in the Mediterranean Sea. Communication with the server was done via this website, the Breakthrough event interface/IRC, and the physical location. The event is documented live with webcams, and communication feeds and logs, and with archived material at http://noemata.net/adundas/ and videos like this.
