The morning sessions are planned as extended media brunches that combine collaborative workshops with presentations, discussions, and performances of international experts and practicioners along the topics of net.art, data recycling, tactical media, private i, remote c, presence. The afternoon panels are organized as moderated discussions enriched by few blitz.statements by international expert-speakers. The focus is on the stimulation of dialog rather than the presentation of lectures.
Participation is open and encouraged.
The generation of content is context sensitive, people produce information out of signals, groups define what people can produce, tools make possible what groups can define and vice versa. A critique of the net must include a critical analysis of its 'matter' as a social and cultural product. With the rise of the web, the well developed group structures around bbs, moo, mud, usenet became almost invisible. Now, we are told that the web will vanish and only media with broadcasting qualities will survive. I push therefore I am.
