PVA MediaLab symposium and open debate
ART, LIFESTYLE AND GLOBALISATION
Saturday 7 April 2007
1:30 pm - 9pm
Art, Lifestyle and Globalisation is a one day intensive event opening up
debates across the realms of modern life. The event deliberately bites
off more than it can chew - raising more questions than can be answered
- mirroring the complex signals of digital life. A series of guests will
present their ideas on technology, activism and culture.
Artist John Jordan reflects on the role of artist as activist, while
Bella Dicks (Cardiff School of Social Sciences) talks about the
difficulties and implications of putting culture on display. Tim
Kindberg (Hewlett Packard) discusses his research into active bar codes
while Jemima Rellie (Head of Digital Programmes, Tate Modern) reflects
on how we curate culture through networks. The event is chaired by Anne
Nigten (Director of V2_Institute for the Unstable Media, Rotterdam).
In the run up to the symposium, a series of independent voices from
around the world will be asked to reflect on a number of questions,
which will in turn be fed back into the day.
• Has Marshall McLuhan's global village gone tribal?
• Is cooperation the new corporation?
• How democratic are the new web2 spaces? (MySpace, YouTube)
• Who owns the internet?
• Which MP3 player should I buy?
• Why are more and more artists turning to open source strategies?
• Are art and activism opposites or alike?
• Is corporate money driving the cultural agenda?
This event is a collaboration between PVA MediaLab, Tate Modern and
alias with additional support from London College of Communication.
