Random Inc. is Sebastian Meissner´s name for his „Jerusalem"-project. Meissner is a well-known figure in the Force Inc./ Mille Plateaux universe, having previously released the glitch-fest Selected Random Works (under the name Random Industries) for Ritornell, and having released several other disks on the many Force Inc. labels as member of the techno unit, Autopoieses (together with Ekkehard Ehlers). "Jerusalem: Tales outside the framework of orthodoxy" was an experiment with music of jewish and arabic origin and at the same time was a record about the divided city of Jerusalem. Sebastian Meissner thus entered a highly politicized terrain and as one of the very few artists in the field of electronica demonstrated that it is possible to address to recent political issues with electronic music. With "Walking in Jerusalem", Meissner shifted the focus from spatial and cultural division to the indepentednt charecters of the single quarters of the city. Out of the dual City emerged a number of small Jerusalems. Several other artists working in the field of experimental electronica, like Ultra Red, Dub Taylor or Electric Birds contributed to the project with their own interpretations of the source material. Sebastian Meissner in 2002 took part at the „Frequenzen [Hz]" soundart exhibition in the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt a.M. For the club transmediale Meissner (aka RANDOM_INC aka RANDOM_INDUSTRIES) stages his "Jerusalem" project together with the two Israeli sound and video artists ERAN SACHS and RAN SLAVIN.
