XTC/ Xiaozhou Transport Company (episode5 of SAT)
XTC
is a virtual communication net connecting art institutes and art lovers
around the world. Frank Gerlitzki is the company's general director.
The
visible signs of this project are the bus stations: installations
created by their new owners around the "official bus stop sign".
By
adding their own name and an unusual object/event for such a station they
create a public piece of art and become part of the artwork. The future development of XTC will largely
depend on these contributions, as in a second step all kind of further connecting activities are expected.
XTC is an open, experimental art project and a part of the SAT,
a global idea, allowing artistic creation in public space. Various
areas are transformed in a temporary or permanent artistic territory by
interbention and interaction of artists using their skills,
personnality, identity...
Bus
stations are meeting and
communication areas everybody experiences in his daily life. A place
where people come together because of a common interest. XTC creates a
worldwide net of these public socio-cultural spaces.
Be connected!
XTC为世界各地艺术组织与艺术爱好者提供一个虚拟交流平台,Frank Gerlitzki
是这个机构的主要组织者。这个交流计划将以巴士站作为主线:巴士站是一个人们日常生活中会面与交流的场所,在这个计划中,每一位创作者都将在Frank
Gerlitzki所设计的巴士站牌上加入自己的构思,从而创造出一个独立的艺术装置。XTC将为这些具有社会文化特性的公共空间,创建一个全球性的交流网络。
