Within a few years, global data traffic has exploded on all levels and  
in all forms of media.
The "cultural heritage" of Europe increasingly becomes a fiction and  
dissolves in networks, on circuit paths and traffic routes. It  
reappears elsewhere, connected with foreign data and other traditions,  
as a new life form.

"Vapor Trails of Europe" picks up this thought and continues it by  
literally transporting condensates of European culture into the orbit.  
The artists group alien productions participates in the project  
mur.sat, a small satellite financed, fed and operated by artists only.  
For an estimate period of three months, mur.sat will circulate around  
the earth on an altitude of 310 kilometers and unfold its artistic  
activities, before burning up upon entering the atmosphere.

For Kunstradio's contribution to the Euroradio Concert Series alien  
productions will lay out the collected fragments, and then condense  
them into sound packages to fit the satellite in a one-hour live radio  
performance at the ORF Funkhaus on 7 December, 2010.
These sound parcels will be sent to outer space with mur.sat. Thus,  
"Vapor Trails of Europe" is disseminated parallel via two unequal  
channels: the strong, accomplished and reliable EBU satellite, and its  
small, alternative, puckish brother mur.sat.

The Live performance will be recorded and broadcast on 9 January 2011  
at 11.03pm on OE1 Kunstradio.
