Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sehr geschätzte Besucherinnen und Besucher!
Wir freuen uns , Sie über die Teilnahme des esc medien kunst labors an der Konferenz Verbindingen / Jonctions 14 - A feminist review of experimental server technologies in Brüssel vom 12. - 15.12.2013 informieren zu können. Constant arbeitet zwischen den Medien und Kunst und interessiert sich für die Kultur und Ethik des World Wide Web. Mit diesem Programm beginnt unsere mehrjährige Zusammenarbeit.
Are
you being served?
To
stay connected across multiple devices, we have come to expect
unlimited
access,
provided by companies that traffic large amounts of data as a
result.
The necessary infrastructure that is put in place effects our
understanding
of place, both virtually and physically and it has become
increasingly
difficult to be intimate with the technologies that we feel
familiar
with. We started to wonder about what would make current
networking
technologies into hospitable habitats for critique, as space
for
artists
and solidarity, teaching and learning.
What
does it mean to serve and to host? What should server
technology of
today
be about? How to re-appropriate networks for creative
experiment? How
to
invert, detour, parasite and deflate web 3.0 notions of
’service’?
Join
fellow geek-artists, techno-fanatics, queer theoreticians and
phone
flashers
and brainstorm with us! With amongst others: Reni Hofmueller,
Domaine
Public, !mediengruppe BITNIK, Maria Guggenbichler, Paul Otlet,
Aymeric
Mansoux, the Amazing Service Providing Robot and many others.
