Offered jointly by CENTQUATRE (Paris) and PACT Zollverein (Essen), the program Feldstärke International provides the opportunity to arts students from all disciplines (design, dance, cinema, circus arts, landscape art, visual and plastic arts, music, video, theatre, numeric arts), to work in closer collaboration.
The program is hosted for one week at each of the partners’ venues: at CENTQUATRE, at PACT Zollverein and finally at a third partner’s venue, which changes every year. For its first year, Feldstärke International invited the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Los Angeles to join the program. Thus, Feldstärke International 2009 brought together 49 students: 20 from German schools, 18 from French schools and 10 from CalArts.

Chichinette in Hollywood
The incredible hand-made Greilhünd bus tour on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, followed by the Chichinette playing the bassoon, with special guests Elvis Presley, Wonder Woman and Jack Sparrow.
This is what did Ariel Boroff, Clarence Boulay, Semiramis Ceylan, Dylan Corlay and Antonin Crenn during Feldstärke number 3, in CalArts. We had a great time !
The Vault
The Vault project is born after several discussions about visas, travel, and the difficulties to cross frontiers. We create sort of a box, that would carry a camera, and a sound recorder. This box is made to be sent to someone that will use the stuffs inside before he send it, in another location, in another country. The inner clock of this box is the 24 pictures that could be taken. After this, the last person will send it back in the 104, Paris. This box, The Vault, is a way of carrying some political, cultural and human materials. Utopic idea of creating a device that could cross any border and help the transmission of any message.
The vidéo has been made with TV footage. It's kind of flash forward. A way of imagine this Vault many years laters. After it evolved, and transformed itself into a autonomous machine.
Where is it ? What does it look like ? What's inside ? Which informations ?
The idea was to make this artefact, or "pandora box", something scary, that is now out of control.

Lapin! (Group 2)
The things we found today
Walking around the PACT and just being curious, and finding things : rusty abandonned objects, parts of machines which don't work anymore. Things remaining from the past, from the Antic Times, when the chocolate factory which recently turned into PACT was still running ; when the whole area was surrounded by water ; when people were still speaking ancient greek, and had to make their daily chocolate-working lives into sea-side fishing lives.
We learnt a lot about History today.

"Essayer de trouver la guerre
I created this Footage / Work within the Framework of the Idea to our (Group 8) "Café de la Guerre". After the term "war" ws so present during our process setting up the Café, I decided to leave the 104 on my own to find any kind of "war".
Since the war, for most of us namely has become so present, but luckily still an abstract term, I found myself in a situation where I wanted to comprehend the term in any way, by giving the term a face. The limitation of time while "Feldstärke" gave this approach a rather sketchy character.
