Type IV dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) is a rare congenital coronary anomaly. Though benign with most of the patients being asymptomatic, knowledge of its existence and identification during coronary angiography is important during coronary interventions and surgical revascularization.
We present a rare case of type IV dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) with anomalous origin of one of the two vessels from the right coronary sinus. A 49-year-old female presented with inferior wall infarction and she underwent coronary angiography. Coronary angiogram showed triple vessel coronary artery disease. This rare variant of dual LAD was identified and was confirmed intra-operatively. The patient underwent coronary revascularization with grafts to both the LAD systems.
Proper assessment of the angiogram and knowledge of the coronary anomalies is required during surgical revascularization and percutaneous coronary interventions. This rare anomaly can be missed due to the anomalous origin of the LAD from the right coronary sinus. The identification of the dual LAD and grafting of both the LAD systems is required to achieve complete revascularization.
The left anterior descending artery (LAD) has the most constant course among all coronary vessels. Duplication of the LAD is a rare coronary anomaly [1, 2]. Here, we present a rare case of type IV dual LAD who presented with infarction and was treated with surgical revascularization.
A 49-year-old female presented to the cardiology department with complaints of chest pain. She was a diabetic and hypertensive of 10 years duration. Electrocardiogram was taken and she was diagnosed to have inferior wall myocardial infarction. Echocardiogram showed inferior wall hypokinesia and the ejection fraction was 47%. After stabilization coronary angiogram was planned. Coronary angiogram showed significant stenoses in left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA) territories. The mid LAD seemed to be occluded and there was no retrograde filling of the distal LAD through collaterals. The patient did not have any wall motion abnormalities in the anterior segments. The patient was planned for coronary artery bypass grafting.
On further perusal of the angiogram, it was noted that an aberrant vessel was originating from the right coronary sinus running towards the interventricular groove and mimicking the course of the left anterior descending artery (Supplementary Video 1). The septals and diagonals seemed to arise from the presumed diagonal (Supplementary Video 2). This was consistent with the anatomy that has been described as type IV dual LAD. The aberrant vessel was the long LAD which entered the anterior interventricular groove and the presumed diagonal was in fact the short LAD. These findings were confirmed after pericardiotomy. The RIMA was harvested as she had significant proximal left subclavian artery stenosis. Saphenous veins were harvested from the left leg. After systemic heparinization Octopus stabilizer was used to immobilize the heart. Distal anastomosis of the RIMA was done to the long LAD using 8-0 propylene. Saphenous vein grafts were anastomosed to the short LAD, major Obtuse Marginal artery and Posterior Descending Artery using 7-0 propylene sutures. After completion of the distal anastomoses, partial clamp was applied to the aorta and proximal anastomoses were completed with 6-0 propylene sutures. The entire procedure was completed off-pump (Fig. 1). Protamine reversal was given and hemostasis was achieved. The post-operative course was uneventful and the patient is on regular follow-up for the past 2 years.

Post operatively the patient underwent computed tomography with contrast to clearly visualize the coronary anatomy and the same findings were observed with patents grafts in situ (Fig. 2). The patient is on regular follow-up and is symptom-free.
Contrast computed tomography showing the various patent grafts
Coronary artery anomalies are often observed on angiography. Their incidence ranges from 0.6% to 1.3% in various case series [1, 3]. Most of these anomalies are benign and do not necessitate any form of intervention [4].
Dual LAD is a rare coronary anomaly. Spindola-Franco et al. first described and classified dual LAD into four types [5]. With newer anomalies being reported it was reclassified into six types by Lee et al. [6, 7]. The classification is based on the origin and course of the short and long LAD and gives details with regards to the origin of the septal perforators and diagonals. Types IV, V, and VI have one of the LADs arising from the right coronary circulation.
Identifying the presence of these anomalous arteries is integral in the planning for myocardial revascularization. Type IV variant of dual LAD is very rare and can be missed on angiography [8, 9]. As the short LAD may give rise to the diagonals and septals the long LAD may be mistaken for an aberrant vessel/collateral. If both the short and long LADs are severely stenosed, grafts to both the vessels may be needed because the major supply to the septum and the anterior ventricular wall may come from both the vessels.
It is important that surgeons have a clear perspective about the origin and course of the LAD when these anomalies are observed. This will ensure that the surgeon avoids an incorrectly placed arteriotomy and that no territory is left without revascularization [10]. It is also emphasized that when there is a disparity between the angiographic anatomy and the coronary course seen intra-operatively, the angiogram should be reviewed again and a second perspective should be sought.
Careful review of the angiogram prior to surgery helped us to identify this coronary anomaly. The long LAD was visualized running an abnormal course and found lying in the mid to distal anterior interventricular groove. The short LAD was seen running lateral to the groove almost mimicking the course of a diagonal artery. Both the LADs were grafted separately and the myocardial revascularization was complete.

Andy Scott composes New Music Biennial
Andy Scott is busy composing the New Music Biennial commission that he is writing for Foden's Band, soprano / narrator Anna-Clare Monk and harpist Lauren Scott.
The new work, A Child Like You, poses questions about children who are fostered, adopted or orphaned, and draws upon the real life experiences of a child refugee who fled Uganda in 1972 and lived with Andy Scott's own family.
A Child Like You will be premiered at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester on 2 May 2014 at the centre of a longer programme of works by Andy that will form the first half of a concert by Foden's Band. Further performances of the new commission will take place in high profile weekend festivals at the Southbank Centre, London on Sunday 6 July and at Glasgow UNESCO City of Music on Saturday 2 August, linked to the city's hosting of the Commonwealth Games.

Andy Scott is full of Cheshire Life!
Andy Scott was the subject of a feature article in the regional magazine Cheshire Life this month.
The feature, entitled Andy Scott's music is filling Sandbach...and reaching farther afield, saw Andy singing the praises of Foden's Band, the award winning local band with which he is Composer in Residence. The piece also gives some background to the New Music Biennial commission that he is currently writing for Foden's, soprano / narrator Anna-Clare Monk and harpist Lauren Scott, outlining plans for the new work and the process of its creation. The commission, A Child Like You, will be premiered at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester on 2 May.
Interviewed by Robert Beale, Andy said "What I've learnt, over the past six years, is that the work of a band such as Foden's is world-class in terms of technique, musicality and commitment. It has an amazing sound … so warm and with a huge dynamic range. And there are probably people in Cheshire who might not know too much about the world of bands but could be interested in this showcase for the county … and could offer real support to a little gem in their midst."

RNCM Saxophone Orchestra give lunchtime concert
The Royal Northern College of Music Saxophone Orchestra directed by Rob Buckland and Andy Scott will be giving a lunchtime concert at the Holden Gallery, Manchester School of Art, on 27 March at 1.15pm.
The programme will include The Golden Horn, a new work by Andy Scott. The Golden Horn is a fast, Turkish influenced piece with a central section that showcases the specific features of the featured instrument, in this case the saxophone. A different version with a flute specific centerpiece was premiered by the Tempest Flute Trio last month.
The programme will also include a selection of works for large saxophone ensemble by Barbara Thompson and Moondog. The works by Barbara Thompson appear on the Apollo Saxophone Orchestra CD Perpetual Motion, while the Moondog works were recorded by the London Saxophonic, both with Andy Scott on tenor saxophone.
The 20 piece ensemble includes all the saxophonists currently studying at the RNCM, and performs a wide range of engaging, accessible and sometimes unexpected repertoire. The RNCM Saxophone Orchestra led by Rob and Andy performed at the prestigious World Saxophone Congress in 2012 with a programme of works by RNCM tutors, including Andy Scott's Tjuonavagge, an atmospheric piece depicting the simultaneous coldness and warmth of the striking Lapland landscape.

Gerard McChrystal and Craig Ogden play Andy Scott
Gerard McChrystal and Craig Ogden will perform a work by Andy Scott at Sandbach Concert Series this month. The acclaimed duo will open their programme with Nemesis at St Mary's Church Hall, Sandbach on 26 March.
Nemesis is a three movement work in a contemporary classical style with jazz and Latin influences. There is a short improvised section in part two, with an alternative notated solo. This version for soprano saxophone and guitar was recorded by Gerard and Craig on their CD Pluckblow. Nemesis was originally composed for soprano saxophone and vibraphone and recorded by Rob Buckland and Simone Rebello on the CD Towards the Light. The version for flute and guitar was recorded by Paul Edmund-Davies and Craig Ogden on The Bad Tempered Flute, the Flute Music of Andy Scott.
"Craig Ogden and Gerard McChrystal set the thermometer high with their sinuous and heady interpretation of Andy Scott's Nemesis. Ogden's highly disciplined guitar lines traced a pinprick route through Scott's scarifying three movement set piece, while McChrystal burrowed and mined, and ultimately scaled its petulant peaks and troughs. McChrystal's saxophone swings acrobatically from high octane celebration to sweet and low down melancholy in one and the same breath, wheedling more and more layers of complexity from Ogden's distilled guitar lines." - The Irish Times, November 2006
Gerard McChrystal comes from Derry, N.Ireland. To date he has performed in over 30 countries including at London's Wigmore Hall, San Francisco Opera House and Suttgart Stattshalle. He has performed with Philip Glass, Soweto String Quartet, guitarist Craig Ogden, The Syzmanowski String Quartet, The Smith Quartet, tenorist Tommy Smith, Irish choir Anuna, Ensemble Bash as well as many orchestras including The Philharmonia, San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, BBC NOW, BBC Concert Orchestra, National Symphony of Ireland and Stuttgart Statsorchestre. Gerard is an ambassador for Derry-Londonderry UK City of Culture 2013.
Australian born guitarist Craig Ogden is one of the most exciting artists of his generation. His many recordings have received wide acclaim, and his Classic FM albums The Guitarist and Summertime both shot straight to no.1 in the UK classical chart in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Craig Ogden has performed concertos with all of the main UK orchestras plus many abroad and has presented on BBC Radio 3 and on ABC Classic FM (Australia). Craig Ogden is Principal Lecturer in Guitar at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and Visiting Lecturer at London's Royal College of Music.
Sandbach Concert Series is a concert series aimed at promoting music making by youth and community groups of Sandbach and surrounding areas in conjunction with professional musicians. Each main concert at 8.00pm at St Mary's Church Hall, Sandbach is preceded by a spotlight concert by local young musicians at 7.00pm. There is also an art exhibition on display at each concert, and a special pre-concert Early Bird dinner offer is available at the nearby La Casa Vecchia Italian restaurant.

Q: AWS ProfileCredentialsProvider not able to get credentials I am trying to upload a file to S3. The code to do so is below:
AmazonS3 s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(new ProfileCredentialsProvider());
String key = String.format(Constants.KEY_NAME + "/%s/%s", activity_id, aFile.getName());
s3Client.putObject(Constants.BUCKET_NAME, key, aFile.getInputStream(), new ObjectMetadata());

The problem I am having is that my ProfileCredentialsProvider cannot access my AWS keys. I have set my environment variables:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=keys go here
AWS_SECRET_KEY=keys go here
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=keys go here
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=keys go here

And as per Amazon's Documentation the set environment variables have precedence over any configuration files. This leads me to ask, why are my keys not being grabbed from my environment variables?

A: Figured it out.
If you specify a ProfileCredentialsProvider() the AWS SDK will look for a configuration file, regardless of precedence. Simply creating a S3 Client like this:
AmazonS3 s3Client = new AmazonS3Client();

Will check the various locations specified for credentials.

Newcastle face nemesis in Mourinho for bargain target among most gettable
Newcastle United are reportedly ready to firm up their long-standing interest in Florian Grillitsch, who has been described as one of their most realistic targets.
Financially, Newcastle can afford to sign just about whoever they want after their Saudi-backed takeover. On the pitch, though, they will struggle to convince some of their more ambitious targets to join. Furthermore, there is a feeling that rival Premier League clubs would be reluctant to do business with them.
Therefore, they will have to formulate a creative approach in the January transfer window. Firmly in a relegation battle, they need to find players willing to help them avoid a negative fate.
One player they think they have a realistic chance of landing, according to The Sun, is Hoffenheim midfielder Grillitsch.
The Austria international is in the final few months of his contract with the Bundesliga side. Therefore, he can sign a pre-contract agreement in January ahead of next season, or move in the winter for a cut-price fee.
The report claims Grillitsch could cost somewhere between £3m and £4m, which may turn out to be a bargain.
At the age of 26, he has built up plenty of experience across spells with Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim. Able to play as a midfielder or in a deeper role, his versatility would be an asset to whoever takes him.
Newcastle are hoping he will choose them, having reportedly tracked him for a few months already.
They know he will be a lot cheaper to pursue than other targets of his position in the domestic market. Furthermore, they are hoping to tempt him financially, despite their current challenge on the pitch.
Newcastle rival Roma for Grillitsch
But Grillitsch also has admirers at Roma, where Jose Mourinho is considering signing him. Mourinho inherited a work in progress when taking the Roma job in the summer, when he tried but failed to sign a new midfielder.
It is an area he will aim to rectify in January and there have been links with a few Premier League players. But the Serie A side are also looking further afield and have Grillitsch on their radar.
Newcastle, though, will hope to use their financial might to tempt the 26-cap international to choose them.
Across his Hoffenheim career, Grillitsch has played in 143 games, providing 11 assists and eight goals. Previously, he contributed six assists and four goals from 54 games for Werder Bremen.
He has never played club football outside Germany, but it seems he may face such a decision soon. The choice will be whether to venture to the Premier League or Serie A.

Newcastle face disappointment in midfielder pursuit
There are a number of areas in which Newcastle need to strengthen. It will take time for them to reshape their squad into one capable of challenging where they want to in the long-term.
But it seems a new midfielder is high on the agenda after recent reports detailed their pursuit of an elite player in that position as well.
As per Super Deporte, Newcastle have shown an interest in Real Madrid's one-time Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric.
Now 36 years old, the Croatian playmaker remains a star man. However, his time at the Bernabeu may be coming to an end.
Modric is out of contract at the end of the season and Madrid's policy is to only offer single-year renewals to players over 30.
However, the former Tottenham midfielder would prefer to see his longevity with the club rewarded with a slightly longer deal.
Amid the uncertainty, the idea of a return to the Premier League has apparently taken shape in his mind. Newcastle are said to be one of the interested parties.
There is also the option of returning to Tottenham. However, the report claimed Modric would reject both destinations.
He would, though, be open to joining reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.
Either way, Newcastle will have to look elsewhere for a new midfielder. Although Grillitsch may not be of the same quality, he may be a longer-term option anyway.

SOLD OUT - NO LONGER AVAILABLE - Seeing Stevie Ray (hardcover)
Tracy Anne Hart
All copies from The Jung Center are now AUTOGRAPHED by Tracy Anne Hart!!
It may be difficult to say anything about Stevie Ray Vaughan that hasn't already been said. The skinny kid from Oak Cliff on the south side of Dallas who followed his older brother Jimmie in and out of local blues clubs and eventually to Austin would go on to establish himself as the finest guitar player of his generation and perhaps the best of all time. Vaughan was truly a conduit for the symphony of the universe. The music that flowed through him endeared him to hordes of fans and won him near-divine status among guitarists. Vaughan continues to inspire and enthrall even decades after his passing.
What others have attempted to portray in prose, photographer Tracy Anne Hart has expressed in imagery. From 1983 until just before his death in 1990, Hart captured Vaughan as he summoned magic with his passion, his technique, his intensity, and his love and respect for the music. The result is a deeply felt visual portrait of Stevie Ray Vaughan that tells us almost as much about the photographer behind the camera as it does about the musician in front. Through Hart's eyes and mind, readers will experience his genius in an entirely new way.
Hart also provides a glimpse at Vaughan's legacy, offering evidence of some of the next generation of guitarists who consider Vaughan a principal influence. The sum of her efforts comprises a work that offers a visual feast for guitar enthusiasts and music fans in Texas and beyond. Enjoy the photographs and remember to listen to Stevie's music as often and as loudly as possible!

You get BOTH Cars and all the extra parts...everything I have for the cars.
Manual Car: (428ci - 4 speed rebuilt trans)Pretty sure the manual car has all original equipment besides what appears to be a replacement mirror on the drivers door. Engine runs with gas in float bowl but fuel pump or something is not refilling float bowl.
Note: I put a hold/stop to everything since my mom just recently passed and I just want to sell everything and downsize. She was living in part of my home but now my home is just way to big for the rest of us.
I pulled manual trans and had it rebuilt. Flywheel resurfaced, have new clutch and pressure plate. Was toying and moving forward with putting into auto 7-Litre and had pulled auto trans too. Both trans are out of cars and the seats and center console since I had to access the top tunnel(s) to get measurements. I have all of the parts I took out sorted by auto/manual and labeled as to where they came from and order in which I pulled them.
PLEASE just buy all and pickup. I am so sad and need to move past everything. I originally lost my 1st 7-Litre 4-speed in my divorce back in the 90's then purchased the two cars in hopes to have my 4-speed back. But it is just not going to happen in this lifetime. My mom was more important than anything material so I kept my big home longer than I should have but in the end my mom passed in peace so that's all that counts.
If interested in just one of the cars (auto or manual) the price is $12,500 Firm. Since I would rather sell them both at once. But if that's all you want to buy then email and tell me which car you want. I will then post a separatelisting just for that car where you can buy.
If you buy them both everything described in this listing is yours.
Selling because my Mom just recently passed away who was living in part of my home and I want to downsize.

I hope that my email will find you all and your family very well. I know that you are preparing a Thanksgiving party. I wish you Happy Thanksgiving.
From my side, I am fine, thanks to God. My kids and my parishioners are fine too. I am pleased to send you an update about the orphanage.
a) The first building at your left is the residence of the 3 guardians. That residence is not completed yet.
d)Finally, the last building in pink is the residence of the Nuns.
It has been raining a lot these days. The court yard of the orphanage was flooded. The people of the neighborhood of the orphanage had refuge in the school of the orphanage. Fortunately, the water did not invade the residence of the orphans. God is good. Please continue to pray for us because it continues to be raining.
The dedication of the residence of the Nuns took place recently, on October 26. That means we have more space to welcome more orphans. We are taking care of 35 orphans now. In fact, we have the capacity to welcome 40 orphan girls and 40 orphan boys. But we will process slowly to welcome additional orphans, because we want to have financial means prior to the arrival of new kids so that we can be ready to feed them and to provide them with health care. Right now, we rely only on occasional donations to take care of the 35 orphans who already with us. I have two daily challenges: 1) to feed the orphans and 2) to provide health care to them.
Natacha Pierre (the oldest orphan) graduated last April as an assistant nurse. She left the orphanage about one month ago. She is having training at the clinic of the sisters of Plaisance. If the sisters are satisfied with her training, they sisters will hire her. Please pray for her so that she can get a job. I hope that she will be a role model for the other orphans.
The 3 nuns who are helping me take care of the kids are running the school of the orphanage named "ECOLE NOTRE-DAME DU PERPETUELS SECOURS" (SCHOOL OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP"), the same name of the orphanage. Some children in the neighborhood join our orphans at the school because the school is open to the public. Right now, they are 238 children who attend our school. l from preschool 1 to 7th For the next school year, we expect to have the double of the number that we have now, because the parents are poor but they are looking for better school for their children. Our plan is to go until the end of High School with the school. For the tuition, we charge each child with the equivalent of $55, 34 a year. Some people are so poor that they cannot pay that required amount for their kids. To pay the salary of the teachers is a big headache for me.
Our long term goal is to make the orphanage self sufficient in the future. We have already made so few steps toward that goal: we start raising rabbits, we bought 7 cows and we are gardening.
Some of our short term goals are: a) to have a roof for the multiple purpose room; b) to build a chapel (a church where about 600 people can worship God); c) to build a clinic where the orphans, the staff of the orphanage, the poor people of the neighborhood of the orphanage can get health care. Having the clinic built is an emergency, because it is always heartbreaking to see the nurse with several sick orphans and a motorcycle driver going to the clinic.
Finally I would like to have a new or a second hand mini-bus for the transportation of the orphans. If you know anybody who would like to get rid of good second hand mini- bus, please think of us.
a)The first building at your left is the residence of the 3 guardians. That residence is not completed yet.
d) Finally, the last building in pink is the residence of the Nuns.

Verizon gets another Ericsson executive as Rima Qureshi named chief strategy officer
by Mike Dano |
Sep 18, 2017 4:11pm
Rima Qureshi is a former Ericsson executive.
Another former Ericsson executive is taking a leadership role at Verizon, with the operator naming Rima Qureshi as its new SVP and chief strategy officer, reporting to Verizon Chairman and CEO Lowell McAdam.
Qureshi will take over "responsibility for development and implementation of Verizon's overall corporate strategy, including business development and strategic investments," the operator said in a release. Qureshi is succeeding Verizon's Roy Chestnutt, who previously announced plans to pursue interests outside Verizon and will depart by the end of the year.
"The addition of Rima is another game-changer for Verizon. She's a visionary leader, with a global perspective and a thorough understanding of our industry and where it's headed," McAdam said in a release from the carrier.
Ericsson announced in May that Qureshi, the company's SVP and North American chief, was leaving the company. Qureshi had been with Ericsson since 1993, starting in R&D before rising to the position of SVP of Ericsson's CDMA Mobile Systems Group in 2010. She became president and CEO of Ericsson North America in 2016.
Qureshi left Ericsson amid a major corporate overhaul headed by CEO Börje Ekholm, who himself joined the company in January. And it appears that Ericsson's struggles may continue; Ericsson is reportedly considering slashing 25,000 jobs outside its native Sweden as part of its ongoing effort to cut costs.
However, Ericsson recently filled Qureshi's vacancy; the company appointed Niklas Heuveldop, who was previously serving in an interim capacity, as the permanent head of Ericsson's North American business.
Qureshi is the second major Ericsson employee to join Verizon. Hans Vestberg, Ericsson's former CEO, joined Verizon in May as the company's EVP for its new Network and Technology team, reporting to McAdam.
Further, Qureshi and Vestberg aren't the only new faces at Verizon. The operator named Ronan Dunne as its new wireless CEO last year. The former chief of O2 in the United Kingdom, Dunne recently made one of his first major public appearances as Verizon's wireless chief last week at the Mobile World Congress Americas trade show in San Francisco, where he called for more education in order to address the digital divide.

#Afterglow: Notes on Transmediale 2014
Sunil Manghani
"The digital revolution was a dinner party but its afterglow is not": Sunil Manghani visited the festival transmediale in Berlin, to find out more.
Throughout the Cold War the curved, oyster-like roof of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt cast a dramatic shadow across the divide of the Berlin Wall. Designed by the American Hugh Stubbins, and completed in 1957 on a site close to the Reichstag, the modernist building was always intended as a symbol and beacon of freedom. As the name suggests, it was built as a venue to showcase 'cultures of the world', and over the years played host to a long line of prominent artists, scientists and intellectuals.
Following major renovations in 2006/7, the building today continues to offer an important international stage. At the start of each year, with the city invariably draped in snow, the building again functions as a beacon, playing host to new critical visions of transmediale, the Berlin-based festival exploring contemporary and future conjectured connections between art, culture and technology.
The festival has a 27-year history, offering 20,000 visitors per year a rich programme of exhibitions, conferences, screenings, performances and culture hacks. The annual gathering has become an essential fixture in the calendar of an international community of media art professionals, artists, activists and students. Each year the festival selects a theme as an overarching framework for the contributions of hundreds of artists, media activists, researchers, designers and creatives. Following on from last year's theme, Back When Pluto was a Planet, which considered how conceptions of the world are transformed by technology, the festival this year – in the shadow of deepening ecological strife and the ubiquity of surveillance within democratic countries – chose the ironic title of Afterglow:
Feelers (Esotropia Conversations II) by Nadav Assor
© Nadav Assor
"The digital revolution was a dinner party but its afterglow is not. The once utopian promises of high-definition audiovisuals, real-time electronic communication and infinite storage possibilities are just some of the digital culture perspectives that are now widely disseminated. At the same time as these phenomena are still shrouded in the glossy aesthetics of the digital, their tarnished appeal cannot be denied in a world where 'big data' is also the 'big brother' of mass surveillance and where the 'cloud' is made of the metals and minerals of the 'earth' on which data centers are built." (Transmediale, 2014)
Framed Snowden
Sitting in numerous panels at the festival you might well have imagined somewhere in the building hung a huge framed portrait of the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Of course, with the venue just a stone's throw from the German parliament and government buildings, the recent revelations of the phone tapping of the German Chancellor were certainly present to many minds.
One keynote panel, Art as Evidence, brought together the filmmaker Laura Poitras, whose direct engagement with Edward Snowden has led to the revelations appearing in Der Spiegel, The New York Times, and The Guardian; the security researcher and hacker, Jacob Appelbaum, well-known for his work with the Tor project, offering a free, anonymous software network; and the artist Trevor Paglen, whose meticulous tracking and recording of secret military sites and hardware has come to blur the lines between science, art, and journalism.
Given the sensitive nature of the work of these speakers there was inevitably a charged atmosphere to the packed auditorium of the Haus der Kulturen. The speakers shared their experiences regarding issues of access to the unclassified, the sense of urgency to communicate about processes and structures of information, and the practical and ethical complexities and dilemmas of visualizing the invisible. Arguably the methods of the artist forge unique opportunities to respond to these difficulties. Obsessive, detailed research and a willingness to take risks, combined with the creative handling of gathered evidence, means that the making of films, texts and artworks can often help reveal the discrepancies and paradoxes of geopolitical surveillance and control.
The materiality of secrecy
Trevor Paglen, in particular, brings into focus the materiality of secrecy. The often abstract-sounding covert activities, such as 'rendition', must of course have their basis in practical, tangible processes such as transport, schedules and supply lines. The very same 'stuff' that makes up the everyday equally underlies the secret world. And it is amongst the mundane that the fault lines emerge and that the artist as researcher, or the researcher as artist, can play a particularly innovative role.
Ryan Bishop in conversation with Trevor Paglen
© Sunil Manghani
Paglen expanded on his practice in conversation with Ryan Bishop (Professor of Global Arts and Politics, Winchester School of Art), as part of one of the late night panels at Transmediale. Their dialogue really brought to the fore Paglen's detailed and highly methodical approach. With regards to tracking and photographing satellites, Paglen gave a little groan at just how much high-level physics he had to learn. As geographer, photographer, scientist and artist, Trevor Paglen brings together a rich reading of early landscape photography and contemporary military surveillance.
The conversation turned to Paglen's photograph taken in Yosemite National Park, a site with a long history of photographic interest, being iconic of the American West. Yet in Paglen's case there is a twist. The romantic landscape is still present, yet his picture of the night sky (which appears as if in daylight) also captures a secret imaging satellite.
As Ryan Bishop suggested, the photograph is a form of self-portrait, with the satellite capturing Paglen's own image where he has set up his camera. It is a self-portrait where two cameras look back at each other and Paglen as subject is eerily lost. The post-human condition whereby machines take pictures for other machines (and/or other species), is developed further in Paglen's recent work of The Last Pictures, in which he launched a set of images into space as a kind of stowaway cargo on the side of a communications satellite – and which will now orbit the earth well beyond the life of humankind.
On Software and Sovereignty
A further keynote address, specially convened by the Winchester School of Art (UK), a key partner of transmediale, was presented by Benjamin Bratton, who recently published a stinging critique of TED talks with The Guardian. As Professor of Visual Arts and Director of The Center for Design and Geopolitics at the University of California, San Diego, Bratton works at the intersections of contemporary political theory, computational media and infrastructure, and architectural and urban design.
His forthcoming book, The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty, is set to make a real impact through its examination of the political geography of cloud computing, massively-granular universal addressing systems, and alternate models of ecological governance. Bratton posits a six-layer stack or architecture to our contemporary mediated experience: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface and User.
The modeling of the stack will take on increasing significance as we face up to how the bare resources of the earth underpin the globalized on- and offline experiences of individual lives. We have already begun to hear the phrase of the 'internet of things', whereby all of the hardware that currently surrounds us will taken on dynamic, networked and 'intelligent' properties. In the same way we can locate and interact with individual mobile communications across the globe, we will soon regularly be interacting with objects, and objects themselves interacting with objects.

However, Bratton takes us further in this thinking, to consider how in principle we could even generate internet addresses not simply for static objects but therelationbetween objects, so that unique instances of exchange and connection become instantly archived through individual addresses; further expanding the notion of the stack as both a physical and conceptual entity bearing upon every minute aspect of our lives.
The Afterglow of the Mediatic
The relationship between media technologies and the 'earth' layer of the stack was explored with a further panel, The Afterglow of the Mediatic, conceived by Professors Ryan Bishop and Jussi Parikka at Winchester School of Art. The panel discussed how the ethics and politics of waste and mining directly relate to issues of data and hardware, and how issues of labour, geopolitics, economics, and media are all intricately bound, yet difficult to tease apart.
One particular presentation, by Sean Cubitt, Professor of Film and Television at Goldsmiths (University of London UK), was cheered by all those listening in the auditorium. Cubitt reminded the audience how the oceans were once considered an infinite resource, outside of capital constraints. We know now this is simply not true. Nonetheless, the environment is all too frequently considered through the lens of capitalism to be an external factor, with no direct cost.
Cubitt charted, through precise narrative and dramatic imagery, a catalogue of failures to fully comprehend our 'natural' resources. Our thirst for energy sources, whether oil, water, or uranium, have all had catastrophe impacts on millions of people's lives. Cubitt declared how the 'old' impoverished working class still exist, yet today they work to 'destroy overproduction', to handle the waste and hazardous materials that leak out from the production and consumption of new technologies. He considered the notion of the cyborg, which we once thought of as the human with computer implants, yet now find to be a vast computer with humans embedded in it.
The exaltations of the crowd toward Cubitt were a genuine response to his powerful critique of present global conditions. He concluded with a biting question: Why do give full rights to the 'cyborg' money markets (that now operate largely through computer-generated, algorithmic trading), yet not to the environment? Cubitt was clear: to do so 'would change us deeply, but it is a change we need'.
This is Tomorrow
Throughout the days of the festival the Haus der Kulturen der Welt was home to a diverse crowd. Artworks buzzed and decayed while lecture and seminar audiences circulated between the different rooms around the venue, and gazed up at the live stream in the main foyer. Performance artists from around the world enthralled those gathered around café spaces and a daily programme of film screenings presented both historical and contemporary works.
This is Tomorrow, Temporary Exhibition by students from Winchester School of Art
In amongst all of the activities a temporary exhibition popped up by students from the Winchester School of Art.This is Tomorrowoffered a re-modeling of the acclaimed exhibition by the Independent Group, the UK-based pop art movement of the 1950s. In similar fashion to the original, the project on display at Transmediale was based on a highly cross-disciplinary project, in this case of students from sculpture, new media, print-making, and design.
The project had involved a delicate process of both archival research and practical making to help get beyond the largely print-based recordings we have of the exhibition. Despite the ease with which we can search online about an iconic event such as This is Tomorrow, all too often we find ourselves being returned to the same collection of well-worn images and pithy, crowd-sourced sentences. As the students hit against the limits of accessing the past they experimented with ways of making as a means to 'know' about the past, as well as to question our contemporary conditions, surrounded as we are with new technologies of imaging and 3D printers.
The original exhibition, This is Tomorrow, was held at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in 1956, the very same year the the Haus der Kulturen der Welt was being devised and built. The explicit modern intentions of both a London exhibition and a Berlin building grew out of the rubble of the 2nd world war, both offering bold visions of the future, of colour, dynamic forms and direct confrontation with the dilemmas of modern politics and mass, mediated culture. The rendering of This is Tomorrow at Transmediale this year was a most apposite reminder, then, of our ongoing history of making and remaking visions of the future, and our need to be ever vigilant to who we are today.

Skopje is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Macedonia. It is the country's political, cultural, economic, and academic center.
Skopje is located on the upper course of the Vardar River, and is located on a major north-south Balkan route between Belgrade and Athens. It is a center for metal-processing, chemical, timber, textile, leather, and printing industries. Industrial development of the city has been accompanied by development of the trade, logistics, and banking sectors, as well as an emphasis on the fields of transportation, culture and sport.
Skopje 2014 is a project financed by the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, with the purpose of giving the capital Skopje a more classical appeal by the year 2014. The project, officially announced in 2010, consists mainly of the construction of museums and government buildings, as well as the erection of monuments depicting historical figures from the region of Macedonia. Around 20 buildings and over 40 monuments are planned to be constructed as part of the project.
Perhaps the main symbol of the Skopje 2014 project is the Warrior on a Horse statue and fountain in the centre of Macedonia Square. It is typically thought to depict Alexander the Great, though it is not officially named for him.
The statue was sculpted by Valentina Stevanovska and cast in Florence. "Alexander" was officially completed on September 8, 2011 to commemorate 20 years of the independence of the Republic of Macedonia. It is 14.5 m (47.6 ft) tall and it sits on a cylindrical column, which itself is 10 m (32.8 ft) in height.
The Skopje Fortress, commonly referred to as Kale, is a historic fortress located in the old town of Skopje, the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. It is situated on the highest point in the city overlooking the Vardar River. The fortress is depicted on the coat of arms of Skopje, which in turn is incorporated in the city's flag.
