Presenting a public manifestation of the loop-closing properties of virtual spaces, collaboration in networked environments, and the physics of a distributed simulation, the Closing the Loop social laboratory will encompass a range of breakbeat frictions, rumbling rhythms, gelatinous electronica, and blips and bleeps from around the world. The social laboratory will feature synchronous data exchange, on+offline merriment, and real time audio performances by all participants of the research laboratory, as well as live performances from remote locations such as Amsterdam and Linz. Part telecast regatta, and part auditory round robin, the Closing the Loop social laboratory provides the participants of CTL2000 with the opportunity to test || exhibit || inflict their experiments on a live audience. Complex interaction between automation, telecommunications apparatus, and human subjects (and objects) is expected to uncover intricate amusement patterns, and captivating transitions between competition and collusion. Observers of this phenomena should expect audio, culinary, and interactive forms of entertainment. t i m e l i n e: ____________________ on field antics: 1700: ltroygbiv 1745: dj townbike 1830: pix 1915: gareth barnes 2000: FFONE 2045: dancing bear 2115: zy'zx + [d'fR05t] 2200: ovorigin 2220: CTL all star loop band pre-match + sideline entertainment: david moises YURI [psyclodrome game system] narbig licht b.zet r a d i o q u a l i a + {eset} action replay || graphics system: narbig licht tina auer zy'zx coaching + team management: timmy b lemonjiuceink technophoebe ftr r a d i o q u a l i a       ____________________ CONDITIONS: H20 + turf + barbecue + pre-match entertainment + advice on public transport will be provided by the CTL2000SL home team.
