real code call
real.co.[de][re] actively explores code which both has strong effects
on the real, constructing the world through control, prediction and
description, and the code of the real, how the world as given is
coded.
In a time of open hide-ware, of tempting Gnostic depths promoted by
layered APIs and network models, real.co.[de][re] attempts to erase or
rather flatten the distinction between software and hardware, to
resolve a new political reference for real core code. real.co.[de]
[re] asks a general question of a code nature beyond the prescribed
API (hard).
The twelve hour real.co.[de][re] session will attempt the active
construction of a working code model (of any form) which addresses
these concerns.
Hacked genres are not limited to the following suggestions: life
coding, paranoiac practice, pornographic coding, data forensics,
steganographic psychogeography, biologic hacking, EM scrying and
...
Please submit a proposal in any form: dream diary, API
description, instruction set, film script, event code, scientific
abstract... before September 30th 2008 to real

abstract code call
Abstract code is software whose results can be invisible, a software
implementing different layers of action at the same time.
Abstract code is a connection to parallel worlds, a poetic formula dealing
with outer forces. Code is art, its action is subtile, effective, magic.

refrains, hypnotic sentences, prayers, and other.
