Breakthrough is created as an experimental 12 hour event distributed across Berlin locations, inter-network and radio space. Self-organising nodes construct an event occupied with the dislocation of representation [language, software], time and space, and maintained with a strict scheduling and interrupt system backbone (micro-FM and Internet).
The term breakthrough describes a sudden shift in understanding or technologies, and, finally, a clearing (Lichtung), an entry into unknown and unmapped territories. An enclosure is breached allowing access to another, totally unforeseen state or space. Communication is thus implied, a new form of exchange, perhaps between two otherwise unconnected domains, between the living and the dead, between many worlds. What does the sheer possibility of a breakthrough imply for communication between the past and the future?
Breakthrough, as event, signals a change in direction, a pointing towards new ways of actively describing and creating the world. Within a complex mise en scene of workshops, lectures and performances, diverse artists, theorists, researchers, and hackers collaborate in the creation of a breakthrough which can rupture the enclosure of scientific rationalism and enlightenment without recourse to named magic.

...Breakthrough ist ein 12-stündiges experimentelles Event, das an unterschiedlichen, über Berlin verteilten Orten, Inter-netzwerken und Radiosendegebieten stattfindet. Selbstorganisierte Knotenpunkte schaffen ein Event, das sich mit der Verschiebung von Repräsentation [Sprache, Software], Zeit und Raum auseinandersetzt und dabei, an eine strikte Zeitleiste gekoppelt, das Baisisnetzwerk stört.
