”I was very happy to be at your Interregnum and having time for a performance.”
”Det var min første PSI-konference, men det bliver bestemt ikke den sidste - jeg var særligt glad for den gode stemning og den frie dialog på tværs af fag og nationaliteter, der ikke mindst skyldes Jeres imponerende indsats og behagelige velkomst. MANGE TAK!”
”Mange tak for en rigtig god konference. Det var noget af en maraton i performative studies, og jeg er helt fyldt op af de mange gode oplæg og performances.”
”We are were in very capable hands and even more the conference was so rich intellectually. The impressive amount of younger scholars and artists who attended was also a highlight.”
”We thank you deeply for all of your help and generosity at the conference last week. We had an amazing time, saw some incredible performances, and saw old friends and made many new ones. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
”…mit besøg hos SIGNA har været en af mine bedste kunstoplevelser i år. Vi var et par kollegaer, der tog derover sammen, og vi var fuldstændig uforberedte på den mentale voldtægt, vi var ude for. Det var vildt imponerende.”

Rescheduled: Town Hall Meeting on Plagiarism
Due to a large interest among participants in this issue, the announced Town Hall Meeting on Plagiarism 4 PS? is now re-scheduled to Friday evening after the last block and performance is finished. There will be a very light snack outside the room before the meeting starts.
TOWN HALL MEETING:PLAGIARISM 4 PS?
Friday, August 22, 19:30-21:00. room 27.0.09
Chaired by Branislav Jakovljevic, TDR & Edward Scheer, President, PSi
On August 15, 2008, The Chronicle of Higher Education
detailed a case of plagiarism involving Routledge, the
leading published in the field of Performance Studies, and
Philip Auslander, one of its leading scholars. The case in
point is Theory for Performance Studies: A Student's Guide
(2008) which replicates more than 90 percent of William E.
Deal's and Timothy K. Beal's Theory for Religious Studies
(2004). For more details, see
http://chronicle.com/weekly/v54/i49/49a00601.htm.
What happened is ethically very disturbing and
potentially very damaging to the field. Of course, it
calls into question the practices of those directly
involved: Philip Auslander, William Germano (who
commissioned the books is no longer with Routledge; he is
Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at
Cooper Union), and Talia Rodgers of Routledge. TDR and
its editor Richard Schechner protested energetically to
Auslander and Routledge. In a phone conversation Rodgers
stated: "I categorically confirm that this is a one-off
[one-time] incident. Nothing like this will ever be
published by Routledge in the future."
But the issues raised by this case of plagiarism remain
very much on the table.
We invite participants of PSi14 to join the Town Hall
Meeting that will address not only this particular
incident, but also publishing practices and the climate in
the academia and in the culture in general that made
"Theory 4 PS" possible.
This PSi Town Hall meeting is sponsored by TDR and PSi
14, and will be co-chaired by Branislav Jakovljevic, TDR's
book review editor and Edward Sheer, President of PSi.
Possibly some of what is said at the Town Hall will be
published in TDR.
NEWSLETTER, August 2008
Less than two weeks left before Interregnum: In Between States, PSi # 14 begins in Copenhagen. The organising team is busy with the final details and we look forward to greeting you all at the University of Copenhagen, Amager Campus.

REGISTRATION
Please be sure to register for the conference on-line before August 15 at www.interregnum.dk. You can pay for you registration either on-line or by bank transfer or check. It is NOT possible to pay at the conference site, neither cash nor credit card.
HOW TO GET THERE
If you arrive at Copenhagen International Airport, Kastrup, you can take a metro train or a regional train from the airport to the city center. The trip takes about
15 minutes.
When you exit the customs area in Terminal 3 at Kastrup Copenhagen International Airport, continue straight ahead and find the metro toward city at the very end of the hall.
On the way, buy a ticket at the ticket sale ("billetsalg"). If you plan to move around with public transport during your stay in Copenhagen, you can buy a blue ten-trip card ("klippekort") for 125 DKK. When you arrive at the metro platform, you stamp the card with face upward in the yellow stamp machines. You need to stamp two times to get to the university. (For other trips in the inner city including back and forth to the conference site, you only need to stamp once; this allows you to use any public transport such as metro, bus or S-train including transfer within 1 hour of the time stamped on the card).
From the airport or city, you can take the metro to the university campus. Take metro line M1 (dIrections towards
Vestamager) and get off at Islands Brygge station. Turn left as you exit the train (sign point to "Udgang mod Københavns Universitet, KUA"). At the top of the stairs, turn right on Njalsgade. Walk for 3 minutes till you arrive at a number of tall cream-coloured buildings on the right hand side; this is the Interregnum conference site.
MESSAGE FOR PRESENTERS
To those who are going to present papers at the Interregnum conference:
We ask of all presenters that you stick to the time frame that you have been given. Most panels are 2 hours, some are 90 minutes, and in general all speakers have maximum 20 minutes for their paper (unless otherwise agreed within your panel). The moderators present will make sure the time is kept in order to allow for discussions after the papers.
Equipment: in all lecture rooms there are projectors and VGA cords to connect computers to the projector. All lecture rooms also have video- and DVD players, and these can play most systems. The rooms cannot show video and dataprojector at the same time as they share the same projector.
We ask presenters to bring their own laptop (-or share one among members of a panel), since the conference cannot provide computers for all lecture rooms. etc.

Friday August 8 hyPerform is proud to present Wooloo Productions, which will take over the virtual space of the gallery in August and be live on the site during the
PSi#14 Interregnum conference. Last month exhibition Curating Net Curating by Annette Finnsdottir/Netfilmmakers will in the future be displayed in the media archive on http://hyperform.dk/media_archive.php
Press release:
hyPerform presents Wooloo Productions
NEW LIFE MOVEMENT - FOUNDING ASSEMBLY SPEECH August 8th - August 31th 2008 Wooloo Productions is invited by Iben Bentzen
Wooloo Productions will officially establish New Life Movement as a religious community at PSi 2008. This founding assembly speech will initiate a long legal process culminating when official status is granted to the Movement. This is foreseen to happen in the year 2012.
New Life Movement is an artistic movement that aspires to governmental recognition as a so-called "religious community". The juridical power to issue such recognition falls under the Danish Ministry of Justice. Legal status as a "religious community" has been awarded to over 100 Danish organizations in the past 35 years.
New Life Movement will have the power to invite disciples and missionaries to Denmark, despite the fact that individuals from certain geographical areas are not otherwise able to enter the country.
New Life Movement is the culmination of more than 6 years of work by Wooloo Productions related to immigration regimes and their mediated construction of cultural identity. So far, the path to realization of New Life Movement has consisted of 3 main organizational steps:
Wooloo.org, Defending denmark and New Life Manifestations.
The 4th step will be the juridical founding of New Life Movement as a religious community - beginning live at the PSi 2008 conference in Copenhagen. At this event, Wooloo Productions will also present the PSi delegates with the Movement's first book of scriptures "Defending denmark" in the form of a DVD publication.

Smooth spaces with system critical software art
Curator Lea Schick
It is important to remember first that the technical is always political, that network architecture are politics.
This month hyPerform presents two pieces of software art that draw our attention towards the non-neutrality of the hidden backside of navigation software. The two art works News-Jockey and ShiftSpace takes a critical view of the systems that decide our possibilities of surfing the Internet in a smooth and uncontrolled way.
