That was one message established in Piratbyråns famous Walpurgis ritual of 2007.<br><br>The S23M project is very clustered with The Pirate Bay, the world’s largest torrent tracker for file-sharing, On the bus there is no internet connection, but there are 100 mix tape cassettes, 23 spcial fanzines, a mystical barometer and a game of go, just to name a few things. Thus the project evolves themes from the Walpurgis ritual by transferring them from one mountain to another, from spring to summer, from the melting of winter to the flowering richness of summer. Eyeball the media!<br><br>At the same time, Piratbyrån sums up the five years that has passed since the initiation of the clustering in 2003. Finally, the bus trip is an experiment: what will happen when an online-based community is enacted within a delimited physical space, where participants must somehow spend over a week together?<br><br>The opening party on July 18th is also laborating with how the the digital abundance can be interconnected with time and space - more specifically how large subwoofers can be used for this purpose. As a guest performer, Piratbyrån has invited Jem Noble from the Bristol-based Blackout Arts Collective. He is presenting a sound sculpture, built by recycled loops, which he calls “generative piracy” and DJ some bass-heavy dubstep. Other DJ’s representing Pirabyrån, including Nine Inch Nils from the dubstep diaspora, and Brokep, more known to the world as the populous of The Pirate Bay.<br><div>The S23M project is financed mainly by a grant from the Manifesta foundation. Piratbyrån has added all their available money, coming from t-shirt sales. The Swedish state’s Arts Grants Committee refused to contribute, as would otherwise be the case when Swedish artists are invited to prestige biennals of this kind. Seemingly, futurehawkers like Piratbyrån are way too murky for Swedish art discourse.</div><div> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br></div><div> </div><div><img alt="" src="http://images.images11.com/members/14403/ftp/piratemarch.jpg" height="409" width="551"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br></div><br><br><div class="unsub" align="left"><!-- <img src="http://images.images11.com/RWCode/click.asp?HitID=1240586694050&EmID=45546825&StID=14403&SID=0&NID=408940&Email=noel@nonecknoel.com" border="0" width="3" height="1"> --><table border="0"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-top-width: 1px;
