Crossing Map on Resonance 104.4 FM
1pm Sunday June 12th - July 3rd 2011
Liliane Lijn will be serialising her book Crossing Map for Resonance 104.4 FM. She will perform live for 30 minutes starting at 1pm every Sunday from June 12th to July 3rd during the course of the Gone With The Wind exhibition at Raven Row. Crossing Map was published by Thames & Hudson Ltd in 1983 and produced by Editions Hansjorg Mayer with a grant from Arts Council England.
Crossing Map is an epic poem and a philosophical monologue, lamenting human greed and fear and exploring human relationships in terms of the flow or blockage of energy between people. In Crossing Map, a woman artist questions the meaning of time and, meeting the last man, is witness to the death of her society and the dematerialization of man.

Power Game Online, Netaudio London 2011
15th May 2011
Power Game Online is a collaborative performance artwork produced for Resonance 104.4 FM as part of the Netaudio Festival at the Roundhouse.
In its new digital incarnation, Power Game uses twitter feeds, and is viewable on a specially made web site where registered players and the MC are represented by their twitter avatars. Power Game on twitter no longer uses the gambling metaphor as in previous incarnations. Money is not needed to play the game and its rules have, therefore, been radically altered and transformed, focusing the entire content of the game on exploring the way meaning changes from individual to individual.
