[Nettime-ro] Fwd: Impakt Festival 2011: A First Disclosure |
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Impakt <info@impakt.nl> Date: Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 10:28 PM Subject: Impakt Festival 2011: A First Disclosure To: Stefan Rusu <suhebator@gmail.com> IMPAKT FESTIVAL 2011:* A FIRST DISCLOSURE** * * * [image: IMPAKT FESTIVAL]<http://www.impakt.nl/index.php/festival/introduction> IMPAKT FESTIVAL 2011 *THE RIGHT TO KNOW * *2 - 6 november, Utrecht, The Netherlands* * We live in an information-society, in which data becomes a commodity and is increasingly stored and spread. But how much do we really need (and want) to know? And what may others know about us? Welcome to the 2011 Impakt Festival. You can look forward to five days full of inspiring talks, art, film and music concerning the theme “The Right to Know”. * *TALKS* In *Trouble Ahead: The Struggle for Secrecy and Transparacy*, a conference organized in collaboration with Utrecht University, the double face of social media and information technology will be examined. How free are we as users of these platforms, and who profits from the statistics gathered from our surf patterns? Curator Stephen Kovats (transmediale 2008-2011, McLuhan in Europe) organizes the summit *Getting Rough With Media*, wherein speakers and performers show how the internet can act as an arena for political action; covering romantic hacktivism, lost innocence and a new momentum. *Festival Fellow* Mercedes Bunz (Editor/researcher The Guardian and the German publication De-Bug) surprises with new insights on digital truth, the nature of the online digital community and the socio-political implication of digitalization. *IMPAKT ONLINE* In the online exhibition *The Right to Know (and Copy)* artists will explore the limits of openness within digital media, including a website from Dagan Cohen (Upload Cinema) that maps the geography of banned videos. Join artists such as Linda Hilfling and Metahaven in the debate *The Right to Database*, concerning issues of art and the database. *http://www.impakt.nl/online/* *EXHIBITION: THE RIGHT TO KNOW FREE STATE* This year's exhibition will be a temporary autonomous zone containing spin-offs from different projects from the Festival program, including the *History is Yours T-Shirt Print Shop *and the *Hack a Day Display, *as well as installations and work from the *WE-tube-o-theek *and the *Banned Videos*program. *SCREENINGS* In *Data Machinery*, curator Stefan Majakowski shows how difficult it is to give meaning to the overload of data present in our information-society. What information do you truly have when there's too much data to comprehend, or you don't know how to interpret it? As a platform for disobedience, the WE-tube-otheek, from curator Johan Grimonprez, provides a temporary short circuit of the political system that runs on fear and anxiety-management. In Florian Wuest’s *Jailbreak*, artists and activists shatter the relationship between sender and receiver and call into question the inherent hierarchy of the mass media. *MUSIC PROGRAM* Lose yourself in the *Hidden Riddims *of the Impakt Festival. During the *Sacral Ceremonies*-evening, music will be revealed that is normally found only behind the closed doors of ceremony. Musicians include Demdike Stare. At the *Footwork Freak Out*-evening, DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn of the *Chicago Footwork*-movement will bring a barrage of click, breaks and samples based on crunk* *and ghettotech*. * *PANORAMA* At the festive *Panorama Event Nights* in Theater Kikker you can explore the best new films, video clips and animations, as well as presentations of art projects and live interviews with the filmmakers and artists. *IMPAKT SWEATSHOPS and PUBLIC DOMAINS* Join *A Hack a Day* to tinker with the raw data of government agencies, play together with other Utrecht cult souls during *Nachtelijk Buitenspelen *(Outdoor Games Night) or explore the tensions between language, property and code in networked environments during a tour of Utrecht’s public domain. *MORE INFORMATION* Keep up with the Impakt Festival via the website, the TRTK-blog, Twitter and Facebook.
