Deze salon bestond uit zelfbedachte spelletjes, een 'we-make-money-not-art ' presentatie, projecten van HeHe en een Canadese performance.

<h6>Het programma</h6> Heiko Hansen (D) vormt samen met Helen Evans (GB) het kunstenaarsduo HeHe (www.hehe.org). Ze doen projecten waarin ze de ons omringende technologische systemen ‘terug ENGINEEREN’ en geven er een nieuwe, kritische gebruiks- en sociale functie aan. Hansen liet hiervan een aantal voorbeelden zien. <a href="http://www.mediamatic.net/id/11363"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/sjnh/image/512/11363-381-400.jpg" height="400" width="381" alt="" title="Playtime, students Gerrit Rietveld Academy"/> </a><a title="Vergroot afbeelding - Playtime, students Gerrit Rietveld Academy - Mediamatic.net" href="/page/11363/nl">Playtime, students Gerrit Rietveld Academy</a> -Cultural Engineers at Mediamatic Vijf studenten van de Rietveld Academie, Nina Larsen, Alexa Tang, Tunc Topcuoglu, Xiavier Fernandez Fuentes en Tobias Krasenberg, demonstreerden hun zelf bedachte en ontworpen SPELLETJES.
