----- start of message -------- RAM 4 | Survival Kit www.olento.fi/ram4 3-8 November 2003 Suomenlinna island, Helsinki A survival kit must contain the essential tools appropriate to your own environment: an arctic kit is unlikely to help you in the jungle. RAM4: Survival Kit is part of the "Re-Approaching New Media" series of workshops and events being held across 6 Nordic and Baltic countries. Olento invites applications from artists, media practitioners and researchers who would like to propose the contents of a communications technology "survival kit". We ask the question: what do we need to survive in today's media and technology environment? At the workshop we will learn and discuss about each others environment, skills, communities and strategies, and share our knowledge and insights. Our goal is to enable participants to create, develop and reflect new concepts, partnerships and projects that address the needs of their communities. Participants are invited to Helsinki for 1 week (3-8 November), or for a shorter period (5-8 November). Accommodation for living and working will be on the historic fortress island, Suomenlinna, 15 minutes ferry ride from Helsinki. The weeks activities will be a mixture of timetabled, structured workshops on particular themes, discussions toward developing "survival kits", and workshops involving local practitioners and communities in Helsinki. To apply, send an e-mail to address [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Please enclose: - full contact information (name, e-mail, phonenumber, address + nationality) - CV - Short (up to 500 words) statement of your interest in the theme and what you might like to bring and take back from the workshop Applications must be received by 15 September 2003!
