The initiation of a cultural event provided the basis for this research project: An intercultural artistic dialogue connected two almost deserted railway stations in Germany and in Brazil. One band performed in the station hall in Germany which was linked via live stream to the station in Brazil. In this station at the same time one Brazilian band performed. For this intercontinental event neither language nor translation was required, as other artistic means were used. The room, the music, the lighting and the presence of the people provided an atmosphere for interaction, which exceeded the level of communication that would have been achieved through language. The fast pace of technological progress is intertwined with the rapid development of global networks extending to the whole world. New interactive structures and relationships created a new dimension of intercultural communication, which seems essential for the organization and implementation of global processes. Exchange and communication are primarily based on mutual understanding.
