kl- i went to melbourne , australia for holiday in 2005 and went to visit conical where kisss happened the 1st time and liked the way the show was talking about freedom and non-freedom, met deej (fabyc) and joanna (callaghan) and invited them to submit a proposal to the open submissions at castlefield and kisss got selected.

kw- how does the theme of the show relate to uk? the kisss show has varied strategies to look at the way people deal with surveillance. i heard the uk is one of the most surveyed places, and we’re so used to being watched that  maybe the reaction is that you react against it and try to subvert it or you take the vision that is a small price to pay for protection, and a lot of people that have material goods want to protect it…so in a sense there is private public debate, and the symposium will be fundamental, because participating and questioning is very important.
