[rohrpost] reSource 002: Out of Place, Out of Time
reSource 002: Out of Place, Out of Time 22.08. - 24.08.2012 Eröffnung: 22.08.2012, 15:00 Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien, Berlin reSource 002: Out of Place, Out of Time ist die zweite Veranstaltung der reSource transmedial culture berlin, der neuen ganzjährigen Initiative der transmediale, ein Netzwerkprojekt basierend auf den Verbindungen von Genres und Praktiken. Es wird kuratiert von Tatiana Bazzichelli und in Zusammenarbeit mit den reSource Partnern entwickelt (CTM/Disk, Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien und Post-Media Lab/Leuphana Universität Lüneburg). reSource 002: Out of Place, Out of Time präsentiert offene Diskussionen, Panels, Workshops und Performances, die Aufschluss über die Praktiken von Künstlern, Aktivisten und Hacker geben, die kritische Interventionen im Bereich Kunst und Technologie überdenken. Die dreitägige Veranstaltung wird sich gleichzeitig mit analogen Prozessen des Netzwerkens (‘networks out of time’) und der Idee, kulturelle Paradigmen durch Netzwerk-Technologien zu verschieben (‘networks out of place’), beschäftigen. reSource 002: Out of Place, Out of Time zielt darauf ab, sich mit den Modalitäten von künstlerischer Produktion in Digitaler Kultur und Netzwerkökonomie auseinanderzusetzen. Gleichzeitig generiert es gemeinschaftliche Einblicke in die Themen der nächsten transmediale und CTM Festivals. BWPWAP – Back When Pluto Was a Planet ist der thematische Rahmen der transmediale 2013 (29.01.-03.02.), der die gleichzeitigen Verlagerungen und Erfindungen erkundet, die in kulturellen, von Technologie gesteuerten Prozessen stattfinden. Daneben ist das Thema des nächsten CTM Festivals (28.01.-03.02.) The Golden Age und macht auf die steigenden Überfluss von Materialien im digitalen Zeitalters aufmerksam, die nur darauf warten, wiederaufbereitet zu werden und Pastiche, Paradoxien, Fusionen und Morphing zu generieren. Inspiriert von diesen Themen und dem konzeptuellem Rahmen, der auf vorherigen reSource Initiativen bereits angebracht wurde, betrachtet reSource 002: Out of Place, Out of Time Kontexte der Rekontextualisierung, Neukombinierung, Montage, Verlagerung und Neuerfindung von sozio-kulturellen Paradigmen, sowie der Anwendung und Umwandlung vielfältiger Ressourcen durch Netzwerkpraktiken. Diese Themen werden zusammen mit künstlerischen und aktivistischen Communities innerhalb digitaler Kulturproduktion und darüber hinaus angesprochen. Das Ziel ist es, ein verteiltes Aktivitätsnetzwerk in der Stadt Berlin zu entwickeln, eine Plattform für Austausch und für stärkere Präsenz der lokalen und translokalen Gemeinschaften im Bereich Networking, Hacktivism und Politik. ## Programmübersicht ## Mittwoch, 22.

Als Teil des Events reSource 002: 'Out of Place, Out of Time', der
zweiten Veranstaltung der reSource transmedial culture berlin, eröffnet
COMPOSTING THE CITY | COMPOSTING THE NET einen sechsmonatigen
Kompostierungszyklus, in dem natürliche und unnatürliche, vergängliche
Prozesse zu einer nachfolgenden Netzwerk-Performance während der
transmediale 2013 im nächsten Februar führen.
COMPOSTING THE CITY | COMPOSTING THE NET betrachtet die parallelen
Prozesse der Gärung und des Zerfalls in den Essensresten unseres Alltags
und in unserem digitalen Gemeingut - die ausrangierten Speisereste
werden wieder angelegt; der immaterielle Überfluss an Netzdaten wird
wieder entdeckt. Die Speisereste, die auf einen Komposthaufen geworfen
werden, häufen und vermischen sich, bis alle Spuren ihrer Identität
verwischen. Im Netz versinkt der Überschuss an Informationsdaten mit
Tags versehen in einem tiefen Reservoir. Berlin schmückt sich selbst mit
dem momentan im Trend liegendem Eco-Bio-Chic, doch gleichzeitig hält die
Stadt ein erfolgloses Biomüllsystem aufrecht, von dem die Städter kaum
Gebrauch machen. Während des Projekt-Launchs (22.-24. August im
Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin) ist COMPOSTING THE CITY auf der
Suche nach Berlinern, die einen Komposter adoptieren wollen
('ADOPT-A-COMPOSTER à la ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY). 12 Kompostierungseinheiten
mitsamt Würmern und Sensoren, die sich im verrottenden Abfall befinden,
suchen Besitzer, die sich ihrer annehmen, sie in Stand halten und
während des sechsmonatigen Zeitraums darüber bloggen.
Um einen Komposter zu übernehmen, registriert euch hier
www.compostingthecity.mobi
oder schreibt an

* Wir sind besonders auf der Suche nach Anwohnern Kreuzbergs, die einen
Komposter im Garten von Bethanien übernehmen können. Die Mithilfe wird
nach dem Ende des sechsmonatigen Zeitrausm mit einem Festivalpass für
die transmedial 2013 belohnt. * Um einen Komposter während der
Veranstaltungseröffnung am 22. August zu übernehmen, bringt bitte eure
Speiseabfälle mit zum Bethanien.

[rohrpost] Researching BWPWAP: International Research Conference and PhD Workshop
##Researching BWPWAP International Research Conference and PhD Workshop Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany 22-24 November 2012 - Centre for Digital Cultures, Lüneburg Organised by: Digital Aesthetics/Participatory IT Research Centre, Aarhus University Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University of Lüneburg reSource transmedial culture berlin/transmediale festival ##Concept The international research conference and PhD workshop takes next transmediale’s thematic framework as a broad starting point, and is a chance for researchers to share ideas and development processes across and beyond the time/space of academic research paradigms. The challenge is to salvage what there is to be salvaged from network culture and digital media for research, and vice versa. The conference and workshop, which precedes transmediale, asks how BWPWAP can be interpreted in the context of research culture that has been significantly destabilised by network culture and digital media. If Pluto didn't exactly fall prey to an epistemological break or a scientific revolution, but rather to a mundane administrative procedure – a redefinition of what constitutes a planet and the invention of the category dwarf planet – then what does this say about contemporary research culture? Is research today occupied more with mundane acts of recategorisation, and – after Bologna – with what Lyotard already called performativity? Or does it still engage the kind of marvel and wonder that so many ascribe to Pluto and that BWPWAP captures as a cultural term? If BWPWAP captures a time when transmedial culture was researched outside academia, how does network culture and digital media then contribute to and transform research culture, forcing it out of its closet and, if not into the solar system, then at least beyond the academy? Around 20 international PhD students have been selected after submitting their research abstracts via a public call. Students and researchers will meet at the Luphana University to present their activities and reflect on further networked research practices, which will culminate into the publication of a P2P reviewed newspaper presented in the framework of transmediale 2013. The event follows on from similar events organised in 2012 and 2011 at Universität der Künste (Berlin), and Aarhus University, respectively.

[rohrpost] ReSource 005: The Medium of Treason - The Bradley Manning Case
ReSource 005: The Medium of Treason The Bradley Manning Case: Agency or Misconduct in a Digital Society? An intervention @ Urban Spree Gallery (S/U Warschauer Straße, Revaler Straße 99, 10245 Berlin), 5 May 2013, starts at 17, free entry. with: Birgitta Jónsdóttir (Iceland), Andy Müller Maguhn (Germany), John Goetz (USA). Moderated by Diani Barreto (USA), introduced by Tatiana Bazzichelli (IT/DE). http://www.transmediale.de/resource-005/the-medium-of-treason On April 5, 2010, the Internet leak website WikiLeaks, published a video titled Collateral Murder, where a United States Apache helicopter fired on civilians in New Baghdad in 2007. The video shows American military personnel shooting and killing 11 individuals whose cameras were ostensibly mistaken for weapons. Two children were also gravely wounded on the scene. Two of those people killed were war correspondents for Reuters, the 22-year-old Reuters’ photojournalist Namir Noor-Eldeen and his driver, 40-year-old Saeed Chmagh. After demands by Reuters, the incident was investigated and the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own Rules of Engagement. Birgitta Jónsdóttir, MP in Iceland, co-produced the video in 2010 with encrypted footage that had been leaked to WikiLeaks by an unnamed source, now revealed as Pfc. Bradley Manning. In May 2010, the 22-year-old American Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning was arrested after telling Adrian Lamo, a hacker in the US, that he had leaked the airstrike video, along with a video of another airstrike and around 260.000 diplomatic cables, to WikiLeaks. Manning has been held in detention by the US military ever since. He has already pleaded guilty on 10 counts that could subject him to 20 years under multiple violations of the Espionage Act of 1917 and of aiding the enemy”. In this highly polarizing case, lawyers, civil rights organizations and journalists are insisting that Bradley Manning had disclosed the information under the aegis of his 1st Amendment Rights, which protects Freedom of Speech. In light of the charges he faces, any leak of classified information to any media organization could potentially be interpreted as an act of treason. This event will afford the distinguished guests the opportunity to re-visit the making of the Collateral Murder video three years on, to discuss the United States v. Bradley Manning trial on June 3rd, 2013, which has been hailed the most important National Security trial in the history of the US (NYT Pentagon Papers counsel James C. Goodale) and how it has engendered a pattern of intimidation to threaten and silence whistleblowers, cyberactivists, journalists and news organizations such as Wikileaks, and the implications concerning the future of political agency, free speech, freedom of information and the sanctity of the Press. In this context, the speakers will also discuss the reprisals and political ethics in the cases of information disclosure and judicial overreach brought against hackers such as Jeremy Hammond, Barrett Brown, and the tragic surmise of Aaron Swartz. The speakers will furthermore evaluate the groundwork of new initiatives for civil society platforms intended to monitor, lobby and support legislation that strengthen freedom of information as well as providing protections for sources and whistleblowers in the rapidly accelerating complexities of the information age. This event is organised by the reSource transmedial culture berlin of the transmediale festival in partnership with re:publica. The event is co-curated with Diani Barreto, and it is one of events that will kick off this year's re:publica13. With the kind support of the www.freebradleymanning.net initiative Berlin Guests: Birgitta Jónsdóttir MP, Iceland. Andy Müller Maguhn (Germany), Board Member of the Wau Holland Stiftung John Goetz (USA), NDR's investigative editor at ARD-Hauptstadtstudio and member of the investigative team of the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Moderated by Diani Barreto (USA), Media activist. Introduced by Tatiana Bazzichelli (IT/DE), curator reSource transmedial culture berlin/transmediale. Location: Urban Spree Gallery (S/U Warschauer Straße, Revaler Straße 99, 10245 Berlin), 5 May 2013, starts at 17.00, free entry. reSource 005 will be thematically followed by another event within the re:publica programme organised in the framework of the cooperation between re:publica and the reSource transmedial culture of transmediale: Iceland could have been innovative - Participatory democracy. With Birgitta Jónsdóttir, 6 May, 13:30 - 14:00, at Station (U Gleisdreieck, Luckenwalder Straße 4-6, 10963 Berlin). http://re-publica.de/sessions/iceland-could-have-been-innovative-participatory-democracy reSource transmedial culture berlin: http://www.transmediale.de/resource transmediale festival: http://www.transmediale.de
[rohrpost] New BA Digital Media in Lüneburg/Hamburg, Germany
Dear all, I forward this message to the people interested, coming from Leuphana University of Lüneburg. All the best! Tatiana - Subject: New BA Digital Media in Lüneburg/Hamburg, Germany Establishing a new bachelor degree in digital media raises particular opportunities at this historical moment, where not only 'social media revolutions' and the latest gadgets from Apple, but also NSA intelligence leaks and the work of databases, algorithms and networks have become central topics of public debate. How can all this be taken into account, without forgetting that these same technologies are also used on a rather mundane level to transform everyday practices of producing, sharing and consuming media content? The Digital Media BA at Leuphana University in Lüneburg aims to bring these multiple aspects together: the global and the local, the historical and the contemporary, along with the theoretical and the practical. Students will analyze histories, concepts and methods alongside technical systems and tools that define digital media and its practices. Hands-on introductions to the foundations of programming, databases and networks are provided as well as the critical use of digital media, including video, audio, games, apps or mash-ups. Such a combination of programming, DIY/Maker-Culture and critical theory is essential given the central role of digital technologies in cultural production today. Accordingly, the Digital Media BA merges many different traditions in new ways: German media theory of older and newer generations will (re-)connect with net criticism, and international research on the manifold aspects of our digital cultures, including work from China, India and Latin America. Whether approaches starting from the social or the technological, key starting points from Marx to Luhmann to McLuhan will be introduced and discussed. Students will encounter a highly transdisciplinary version of digital media studies. Theories in computing meet practices in the humanities, and radically critical positions converge with pragmatic issues of career development and future employment. The BA is taught in English. Classes are held in Hamburg and Lüneburg, a small town close to Hamburg. Students have the opportunity to complete part of their program abroad, for example at the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong. Teachers are part of the community of researchers at the Centre for Digital Cultures at Leuphana, and students will encounter their research first hand. Fees are very low: €1580 per year, including free public transport. Applications for this year’s cohort are open until 15th July 2013. If you know someone interested in a Digital Media BA, please forward this information: http://www.leuphana.de/en/college/bachelor/the-major/digital-media.html -- Tatiana Bazzichelli // programme curator reSource transmedial culture berlin // http://www.transmediale.de/resource transmediale festival // http://www.transmediale.de http://twitter.com/transmediale transmediale | festival for art and digital culture berlin Klosterstr. 68 10179 Berlin, Germany | fon +49 30 24749 761 | fax +49 30 24749 763 Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender Volker Heller | Geschäftsführer Moritz van Dülmen -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
[rohrpost] Call for Participation: Post-digital Research
Call for Participation: Post-digital Research *The deadline for submissions is postponed to 22 August 2013* International Research Conference and PhD Workshop to be held at Kunsthal Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark, 7-9 October 2013 Organised by: Digital Aesthetics/Participatory IT Research Centre, Aarhus University reSource transmedial culture berlin/transmediale festival Submit your proposals at http://www.transmediale.de/node/18472/ Post-digital Research aims at exploring what, in the afterglow of digital art and culture, lies beyond the digital as a form of existence. We are witnessing fundamental changes: not only do we no longer distinguish between online and off-line or analogue and digital practices, the medium of digital technology also seems to hold less fascination. It has become embedded in almost every contemporary aesthetic practice. In this, our focus of attention somewhat shifts: we become interested in the mechanisms of commercialisation (e.g. how Amazon, Google, Apple, etc. influence the way we read, write, draw, perceive, etc.), and also in the renewed significance of the technologies we left behind (the role of print, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, etc.). Addressing “Post-digital Research”, the conference and workshop relates to the artistic call of transmediale 2014, and asks how to formulate research questions, research methods, and research dissemination in the light of an afterglow of the digital revolution. Following this, we do not wish to claim a research interest in a future predetermined by the digital, nor do we want to do away with the digital. Instead we will attempt to explore how to practice research in a culture where the digital has become a cultural residue that consumes resources, even producing new forms of trash and overloaded forms of existence. As the transmediale 2014 call for works states, an ambivalent and junky afterglow is what characterises the aesthetics and politics of the digital during the transition to new cultural forms that are still unknown to us. In other words, with this call for Post-digital Research we do not wish to set a particular direction for research, but rather provide a speculative and experimental framework for research in a post-digital culture. We therefore invite proposals that take diverse perspectives to open up some of the paradoxes of contemporary thinking and technologically-informed artistic practice after the digital. Since 2011, we have organised events that form a template for future work: Public Interfaces, Aarhus University (2011); In/Compatible Research, Universität der Künste (Berlin) (2011); Researching #BWPWAP, Leuphana University of Lüneburg (2012). Each of these workshops has resulted in the publication of a peer-reviewed newspaper, and also recently a peer reviewed journal (www.aprja.net); themselves experiments in new forms of scholarly publication. “Post-digital Research” will further explore new frameworks for collaborative research, and the outcome will be published in a journal and newspaper issue to be presented and distributed at transmediale 2014. The workshop also forms part of a series of events initiated by reSource transmedial culture berlin, which is an initiative of transmediale based on continuous network knowledge development and community involvement around the festival throughout the year. Our overall aim for the workshop is to provide a forum for emerging researchers (including artist-researchers, and particularly PhD students), for speculation, critique, exchange and dialogue on their research topic and on its wider dissemination. The aim is to develop participants' individual research projects as well as foster networking. PhD students can be awarded 5 ECTS for their participation. Although the workshop is primarily aimed at international PhD researchers, it is also open to researchers who are pursuing research without institutional support. We are seeking proposals consisting of a biography (500 characters), a statement on current research/description of PhD project (1000 characters), and an abstract for a short presentation (1500 characters). *The deadline for submissions is postponed to 22 August 2013* More info: http://www.transmediale.de/content/post-digital-research -- Tatiana Bazzichelli // programme curator reSource transmedial culture berlin // http://www.transmediale.de/resource transmediale festival // http://www.transmediale.de http://twitter.com/transmediale transmediale | festival for art and digital culture berlin Klosterstr. 68 10179 Berlin, Germany | fon +49 30 24749 761 | fax +49 30 24749 763 Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender Volker Heller | Geschäftsführer Moritz van Dülmen -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
[rohrpost] Disrupting Business: Art Activism in Times of Financial Crisis
Disrupting Business: Art Activism in Times of Financial Crisis Edited by Tatiana Bazzichelli Geoff Cox Data Browser 05 Publisher: Autonomedia, NY, 2013 Disrupting Business explores some of the interconnections between art, activism and the business concept of disruptive innovation. With a backdrop of the crisis in financial capitalism and austerity cuts in the cultural sphere, the idea is to focus on potential art strategies in relation to a broken economy. In a perverse way, we ask whether this presents new opportunities for cultural producers to achieve more autonomy over their production process. If it is indeed possible, or desirable, what alternative business models emerge? This book is concerned broadly with business as material for reinvention, including critical writing and examples of art/activist projects. Contributors include Saul Albert, Christian Ulrik Andersen, Franco Bifo Berardi, Heath Bunting, Paolo Cirio, Baruch Gottlieb, Brian Holmes, Geert Lovink, Dmytri Kleiner, Georgios Papadopolous, Soren Bro Pold, Oliver Ressler, Kate Rich, René Ridgway, Guido Segni, Stevphen Shukaitis, Nathaniel Tkacz, and Marina Vishmidt.

[rohrpost] DRONES - Eyes From A Distance, April 17-18 Berlin
DRONES - Eyes From A Distance # On Drone-Systems and their Strategies Location: Kunstquartier Bethanien, Studio 1, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin Schedule: 17th of April 2015 (17.30-21.30), 18th of April 2015 (16.00-20.30) Admission: 5 Euro Details: http://www.disruptionlab.org/drones Opening event of the Disruption Network Lab. Directed by Tatiana Bazzichelli, in cooperation with Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien. Speakers: Brandon Bryant (former drone operator and US Air Force veteran, founder of the Project Red Hand, US); John Goetz (investigative journalist, DE); Ebaa Rezeq (blogger, Palestine-Gaza); Asmaa Al-Ghul (Palestinian feminist journalist, Palestine-Gaza, video contribute); Chantal Meloni (criminal law researcher, IT/DE); Laura Lucchini (journalist, IT/DE); Tonje Hessen Schei (filmmaker, director of the film DRONE, NO); Jack Serle (data journalist, Bureau of Investigative Journalism, UK); Dave Young (artist, musician and researcher, IE); Marc Garrett (activist and curator, UK). With the support of the Free Chelsea Manning Initiative Berlin. This two-days event will present keynotes, panel presentations, round tables, and a film screening. By bringing into a dialogue a former drone operator, investigative journalists, criminal law researchers, filmmakers, activists, artists and critical thinkers, we want to reflect on the power of drones in surveillance contexts, on the progressive automatism of conflicts, the invisibility of military operation applications, and their consequences on the civil society. Furthermore, we want to analyse the scary fascination of the unknown that surrounds drone-systems, discussing on the application of drone technology and surveillance tools as input for political, social and artistic criticism. The first modern battlefield unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the Israeli Tadiran Mastiff, flew in 1973, but only recently drones started to be used as a pervasive weapon for military purposes, adopted within the United States by the military, and the CIA after 9/11, and primarily applied in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Alongside, drones are used as technological tools by DIYers, as sources of areal documentation by journalists and filmmakers, as delivery systems by corporations, getting accessible for widespread usage by civil society. What are the politics and the regime of power beyond drone-systems? Which are the consequences both on militant networks and civil society of an increasing automatism of conflicts? Can we track down the hidden strategies that move target-killings? Can we understand better drone technology? This event combines reflections on the political and technological infrastructure of drone-systems, the use of them in massive and weaponised military programmes, and the artistic and activist response to this.

[rohrpost] Networked Disruption: The Exhibition - Opening March 11, Ljubljana
Networked Disruption: Rethinking Oppositions in Art, Hacktivism and BusinessGroup exhibition and side programme Curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli Produced by Aksioma - Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana - in collaboration with several partners www.aksioma.org/networked.disruption Exhibition @ Škuc Gallery, Stari trg 21, Ljubljana, Slovenia / March 11 – April 3, 2015. Opening March 11, 8pm With: Anna Adamolo, Anonymous, Billboard Liberation Front, Burning Man Festival, Cacophony Society, Janez Janša, Janez Janša, Janez Janša, Julian Oliver, Laura Poitras, Les Liens Invisibles, Luther Blissett, Mail Art, Neoism, Peng! Collective, Suicide Club, Telekommunisten, Trevor Paglen. Seminar @ Kino Šiška, Trg prekomorskih brigad 3, Ljubljana, Slovenia /March 11 – 12, 2015: http://www.aksioma.org/press/networked.disruption.zip With: Annie Machon (UK), Bani Brusadin (ES), Baruch Gottlieb (CA/DE), Dmytri Kleiner (CA/DE), Florian Cramer (DE/NL), Ida Hiršenfelder (SI), Janez Janša (SI), John Law (US), Loretta Borrelli (IT), Luther Blissett (IT), Tatiana Bazzichelli (IT/DE), Vittore Baroni (IT), Vuk Ćosić (SI). In the business world, disruption means to introduce into the market an innovation that the market does not expect. This innovation comes from within the market itself. Transferred into the field of art and activism, disruption means to generate practices and interventions that are unexpected, and play within the systems under scrutiny. Art, hacktivism and business are often intertwined, generating a feedback loop of revolutions and co-optations that is functional to the development of capitalism. Capitalism needs our revolutions because they generate new lifestyles, products and practices that create new markets and consumer desires. Similarly, systems of power need our resistance and opposition because they serve to increase security and forms of control. We need to find new strategies that go beyond the mere act of opposition and that are harder to appropriate. Networked Disruption is an exhibition and a series of events produced by Aksioma and Drugo more in collaboration with several partners and curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli. The exhibition, hosted by Škuc Gallery in Ljubljana and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka, is centred on the concept of Networked Disruption, as an opportunity to show new possible routes of social and political action in the line of disruption. It is based on Bazzichelli's book Networked Disruption: Rethinking Oppositions in Art, Hacktivism and the Business of Social Networking/(DARC Press, The Digital Aesthetics Research Centre of Aarhus University, 2013). The exhibition shows a diverse constellation of networking projects that aims to actualise – and to question – the notion of networking: Anna Adamolo, Anonymous, Billboard Liberation Front, Burning Man Festival, Cacophony Society, Janez Janša, Janez Janša and Janez Janša, Julian Oliver, Laura Poitras, Les Liens Invisibles, Luther Blissett, Mail Art, Neoism, Peng! Collective, Suicide Club, Telekommunisten, and Trevor Paglen. In this exhibition we adopt the concept of disruption from business and we propose works that emerge from within political, economical, technological and art systems. They play with their power logic generating virality, anonymity, semantic confusion, multiple truths, and disruption. Diverse points of view are combined, among the groups and within the groups themselves. By keeping such connections open without reaching a curatorial synthesis, we invite visitors to create their own path in the line of disruption. The artworks and collective projects are conceptually and visually interlinked in the exhibition spaces, which constitutes a network of networks. By applying the strategy of working from within”, some sections of the show are conceptualised in collaboration with people deeply involved in the networks under scrutiny: Vittore Baroni (Mail Art), Florian Cramer (Neoism), Gabriella Coleman (Anonymous), John Law (Suicide Club and Cacophony Society), Andrea Natella (The Luther Blissett Project) and members of the Anna Adamolo network. This choice reflects the perspective that a new methodology of curating a research should open a metaphorical (and physical) space to encourage and provoke feedback loops among theory and practice, and among subjects and objects of analysis. In the exhibition and seminar, we involve actors who directly engage with hacktivism, art, civil liberties and social networking exposing contradictions of capitalistic logics and power systems. Such interventions hijack the logic of business itself, appropriating and détourning it by operating disruption. The challenge is to collectively rethink oppositional hacktivist and artistic strategies within the framework of (social) networking, information economy and increasingly invasive corporations and government agencies.

Indem ein ehemaliger Drohnenpilot, ein investigativer Journalist, eine Strafrechtswissenschaftlerin, ein Filmemacher, Aktivisten, Künstler und kritische Denker in Dialog gebracht werden, soll die Macht von Drohnen in Überwachungskontexten, in der fortschreitenden Automatisierung von Konflikten, der Unsichtbarkeit militärischer Operationsanwendungen und deren Konsequenzen für die Zivilgesellschaft reflektiert werden. Außerdem soll die schaurige Faszination des Unbekannten, die Drohnensysteme umgibt, untersucht und die Verwendung von Drohnentechnologien und Überwachungstools als Input für politische, soziale und künstlerische Kritik diskutiert werden. Das erste moderne, militärisch genutzte unbemannte Luftfahrzeug (englisch: unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV), die israelische Tadiran Mastiff, flog 1973; erst seit kurzem jedoch werden Drohnen zunehmend als Waffe für militärische Zwecke verwendet, eingeführt durch das Militär der Vereinigten Staaten und nach 9/11 von der CIA, und nun vorrangig in Afghanistan, Pakistan, im Jemen und in Somalia eingesetzt. Daneben werden Drohnen als Technologie-Tools von DIYern benutzt, als Quellen der räumlichen Dokumentation von Journalisten und Filmmachern oder als Zustellsysteme von Unternehmen, und werden so zugänglich für einen breit gefächerten Gebrauch durch die Zivilgesellschaft. Was für Politik und welche Machtgefüge stehen hinter Drohnensystemen? Was sind die Konsequenzen der zunehmenden Automatisierung von Konflikten sowohl für militante Netzwerke als auch für die Zivilgesellschaft? Können wir die verdeckten Strategien ausmachen, welche die gezielte Tötung antreiben? Können wir die Drohnentechnologie besser verstehen? Dieses Event verbindet Überlegungen zur politischen und technologischen Infrastruktur von Drohnensystemen, deren Gebrauch in groß angelegten und bewaffneten militärischen Programmen sowie künstlerische und aktivistische Reaktionen darauf.

Das zweitägige Event präsentiert Keynotes, Podiumsdiskussionen und Live Cinema und reflektiert die Verhältnisse zwischen Identität, Sexualität, Technologie und Politik. HackerInnen, Cyberfeministinnen, (Trans)Gender AktivistInnen, KünstlerInnen und TranshumanistInnen treffen zusammen, um Machtstrukturen in der Gesellschaft und unserem täglichen Leben aufzudecken. Die Veranstaltung ist verbunden mit der internationalen Veröffentlichung des Buches „The Cyborg: A Study of the Artificial Man”, geschrieben vom politischen Sci-Fi Theoretiker Antonio Caronia (Genua, 1944 – Mailand, 2013) und veröffentlicht von Meson Press / Hybrid Publishing Lab der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg. Die Auseinandersetzung beginnt mit dem Buch von Caronia, geht darüber hinaus und gipfelt in der Diskussion um die heutigen Grenzen der Biotechnologie und des Transhumanismus. Antonio Caronia war politischer Aktivist während der Bewegung von 1977 in Italien. Er wendete sich daraufhin dem Studium der Massenkultur und der Kommunikationstheorie zu, sowie der Beziehung zwischen Wissenschaft, Technologie, Identität und kultureller Imagination. „The Cyborg” trägt wesentlich zum Verständnis der Entwicklung der digitalen Kultur von den 1980ern bis heute bei, nicht nur in Italien, sondern international. Indem Caronia Science Fiction und die kritische Reflexion über Technologie und den Körper als Methodologie der Kulturkritik anwendet, fordert er dazu heraus, neue aktivistische, künstlerische und Hacker-Interventionen zu entwickeln. Was bedeutet „Cyborg” heute? Welche neuen Konfigurationen machen es möglich, ein kritisches Bewusstsein und Handeln durch Sexualität, den Körper und Technologie auszulösen? Müssen wir noch über einen Körper sprechen oder sollten wir physische Grenzen hinter uns lassen, um Machtstrukturen in Zeiten der Wirtschaftskrise und verstärkter technologischer Überwachung kritisch zu reflektieren?

[rohrpost] Launch of Code Red anti-surveillance initiative, April 20, c-base
Dear all, I would like to invite you to attend the Berlin launch of a new, international anti-surveillance initiative, Code Red, led by Simon Davies – father of the international privacy activist movement, and Annie Machon. https://logbuch.c-base.org/archives/2373 Date: 20th April Time: 20:00 Place: C-base, Rungestr. 20, 10179 Berlin What happens when the forces of government surveillance are confronted by the combined power of the world's most renowned technologists, whistleblowers and privacy activists? Answer: meltdown! On Monday 20th April, C-Base will host the launch of this very initiative. Code Red involves such figures as Tor's Jacob Appelbaum, former NSA technical director William Binney, crypto pioneer Whitfield Diffie, security guru Bruce Schneier along with a spectrum of influential activists from US presidential candidates to hard-core privacy campaigners in fifteen countries. Led by Simon Davies – father of the international privacy activist movement, and Annie Machon – former MI5 intelligence officer turned whistleblower, Code Red aims to raise the heat on resistance to the surveillance state. It will be a strategic think-tank, clearing house and network hub for technologists and activists across the world. In this event, Davies and Machon will outline their plans and set out Code Red's program for the coming year.

A GAME OF YOU # Into the Social Media Vortex Locations: Kunstquartier Bethanien, Studio 1, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin. Partner Events: Spektrum, Bürknerstraße 12, 12047, Berlin. Schedule: 8th of August 2015 (17.00-23.00, + open end bar), 9th of August 2015 (20.30-22.30 + open end bar). Admission: 5 Euro (Sat), 2 Euro (Sun). Performance events are donation based. Details: http://www.disruptionlab.org/a-game-of-you In English language. Third event of the Disruption Network Lab, directed by Tatiana Bazzichelli, in cooperation with Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien. Speakers: Gabriel S Moses (sequential artist and graphic novelist, IL/DE); Zoe Quinn (video game developer and artist, author of Depression Quest, and founder of the Crash Override Network, USA); Matthias Fritsch (artist, author of videomeme Kneecam No.1 aka Technoviking, DE); Pedro Lopes (artist hardware t(h)inker, PT/DE); Oliver Lerone Schultz (researcher, DE). #GamerGate, Technovikings Smart Media as a Psychedelic Webcomic - survival in the wild torrents of our digital lives. Event inspired by the work of sequential artist and graphic novelist Gabriel S Moses. This two-day event brings a multi-angled perspective in which from one side artists, graphic novelists, game developers, and researchers question and play the narrative embedded into games, social media platforms, and their usage; from the other side, they reflect on the consequences of spreading our identity into the vortex of social media imaginary, to the point that social media starts hunting us back, as we become the game. With the emergence of social media platforms we have been gaining new abilities to play with the narrative, to affect both our imagined recollections and our tangible physical environments. But is this a means for better individual control or a plunge into an overwhelming spin-out? The cases of #gamergate and Technoviking demonstrate that borders between games, smart media and our private life are often very questionable. #gamergate has shown to an extreme degree that sexisms and online hate can become really tangible, and that advocacy against online-harassment is deeply needed. The story of Technoviking instead has shown how Internet phenomena and memes can become a crucial question of intellectual property and personal rights. So, is online life now all a game or just a story? Some would say language is now fully collapsing into the real. Everything is at hand, everything is virtual; there’s an app for that; all our most fundamental daily actions are quantified into generic automation series, told apart by upgrades and business schemes. Herein lies an invitation to ponder on and evaluate the current cognitive, social and even political significance of these overarching online multisensory 'game-stories' and to reconsider: what's their moral and what's at stake? Or is this the kind of psychedelic trip Super Mario has when he eats the wrong mushroom?

Drittes Event des Disruption Network Lab, unter der künstlerischen Leitung von Tatiana Bazzichelli, in Kooperation mit dem Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien. TeilnehmerInnen: Gabriel S Moses (Sequenz-Künstler und Comicroman-Autor, IL/DE); Chris Köver (Journalistin und Feministin, Mitbegründerin der feministischen Zeitschrift Missy Magazine, DE); Matthias Fritsch (Künstler, Autor des Videomemes Kneecam No.1 aka Technoviking, DE); Pedro Lopes (Künstler und Hardware T(h)inker, PT/DE); Oliver Lerone Schultz (Wissenschaftler, DE). #GamerGate, Technovikings Smart Media als psychedelischer Webcomic - Überleben in den wilden Torrents unseres digitalen Zeitalters. Ein von der Arbeit des Sequenz-Künstlers und Comicroman-Autors Gabriel S Moses inspiriertes Event. Dieses 2-tägige Event präsentiert vielseitige Perspektiven von KünstlerInnen, einem Comicroman-Autor, einer Spieleentwicklerin und Wissenschaftlern auf die Frage um Erzählungen in Games und auf Social Media-Plattformen. Sie spielen mit dem Narrativen, reflektieren dessen Nutzen und diskutieren, welche Konsequenzen es mit sich bringt, wenn die eigene Identität in den Strudel des Imaginären der Social Media-Plattformen gerät, bis zu dem Punkt, an dem die sozialen Medien die Jagd aufnehmen und man selbst zum Spielball wird. Durch Social Media-Plattformen sind neue Möglichkeiten entstanden, mit Narrativen zu spielen und sowohl unsere Erinnerungen als auch unsere konkrete physische Umwelt zu beeinflussen. Ist dies ein Mittel zur besseren individuellen Kontrolle oder der Absturz in einen überwältigenden Kontrollverlust? Die Fälle von #gamergate und Technoviking demonstrieren, dass Grenzen zwischen Spielen, smarten Medien und unserem Privatleben oftmals verschwimmen. #gamergate hat überdeutlich bewiesen, dass Sexismus und Hass online greifbar werden können und Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten gegen Online-Belästigungen dringend erforderlich sind. Die Geschichte von Technoviking hingegen hat gezeigt, wie Phänomene und Memes im Internet zu kritischen Fragestellungen im Hinblick auf geistiges Eigentum und Persönlichkeitsrechte führen können. Ist das Online-Leben also ein Spiel, oder nur eine Geschichte? Dies ist eine Einladung, über die derzeitige kognitive, soziale und sogar politische Bedeutung dieser weitreichenden multi-sensorischen online „Game-Stories“ nachzudenken, sich ein Bild zu machen und sich erneut zu fragen, was für eine Moral dahinter steckt und was hier auf dem Spiel steht - oder ist das alles eine Art psychedelischer Trip, als ob Super Mario einen falschen Pilz isst?

[rohrpost] PORNTUBES: Sharing the Explicit - 31. Oktober
# PORNTUBES: Sharing the Explicit Wo: Kunstquartier Bethanien, Studio 1, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin Wann: 31. Oktober 2015 (17:00-21:00). In englischer Sprache. Partner Event: KitKatClub Berlin, Köpenicker Straße 76 - 10179 Berlin-Mitte (ab 23:00). Eintritt: 5 Euro (Kunstquartier Bethanien) Details: http://www.disruptionlab.org/porntubes Fünftes Event des Disruption Network Lab, unter der Leitung von Tatiana Bazzichelli, in Kooperation mit dem Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien. In Kollaboration mit dem PornFilmFestival Berlin (www.pornfilmfestivalberlin.de) und KitKatClub Berlin (http://www.kitkatclub.org). SprecherInnen: Carmen Rivera (Mistress und Fetish-SM-Performerin, DE), Sascha Schoonen (Vorstand von PiggyBankGirls, DE), Nishant Shah (Wissenschaftler zu digitaler Politik und sexuellen Identitäten, IN), Liad Hussein Kantorowicz (Performerin, Aktivistin und setzt sich für die Rechte von SexarbeiterInnen ein, Mitbegründerin des Peer-Projekts bei Hydra, IL/DE), PG Macioti (Beraterin bei Hydra e.V., Vorstandsmitglied bei ICRSE/International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe, x:talkproject, IT/DE), Roy Klabin (Film-maker und investigativer Journalist, USA), Francesco Warbear Macarone Palmieri (Sozio-Anthropologe, Forschung zur Geographie der Sexualität, Kulturproduzent, IT/DE), Gaia Novati (Netzaktivistin und Wissenschaftlerin zu Indie Porn, IT/DE). PORNTUBES bringt PornodarstellerInnen, UnternehmerInnen aus der Pornoindustrie und kritische DenkerInnen zusammen, um die Entwicklung des Online-Porno-Geschäfts, von "tube sites", YouTube-ähnliche Video-Plattformen, über Webcams bis zu Crowdsourcing Porn, zu diskutieren. Indem neu entstandene nicht-jugendfreie Online-Plattformen analysiert und präsentiert werden, soll die aktuelle Lage der Porno- und Erotikindustrie reflektiert werden. Welche neuen Grenzen hat die Online-Pornografie? Stehen wir einem wirklich innovativen Geschäftsmodell gegenüber oder ist es "business as usual"? Wie könnte eine nachhaltigere Form des Online-Porno-Geschäfts aussehen, um die Selbstbestimmung und Autonomie von SexarbeiterInnen zu stärken und ihre Arbeit weniger prekär zu machen? In den letzten Jahren wurden pornografische Handlungen mit einer unternehmerischen Haltung vermischt: durch die Entwicklung von Plattformen zum Teilen von Inhalten. Das Teilen von Pornos im Netz folgt einer langen Tradition am Rand von Alt Porn und Amateur Porn, aber seit Mitte der 2000er hat es festen Bestand durch Blogs, P2P Technologien, Video- und Fotoplattformen und soziale Netzwerke. Indem alle die Möglichkeit erhielten, Online-Pornos zu produzieren und zu konsumieren, wurden die Wünsche und Bedürfnisse von zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Kategorien von Menschen zusammengeführt, von denen, die kommerzielle Pornografie mögen und von solchen, die „alternative“ Pornografie mögen. UnternehmerInnen, PornodarstellerInnen, SexarbeiterInnen und eine größere Anzahl von Menschen benutzen verschiedenste Technologien, um sich in der Online-Porno-Welt auszudrücken. Der Gebrauch von Netzwerkplattformen hat das Produzieren und Konsumieren von Pornos erleichtert und bringt häufig die Rolle des Produzenten mit der des Konsumenten auf eine Ebene. Aber ist es richtig, dass Pornografie in den letzten Jahren zugänglicher wurde? Parallel zur Umsetzung von jungen und disruptiven Geschäftsmodellen, die das Ziel haben, Pornografie nachhaltiger und zugänglicher zu machen, versteckt die Industrie für kostenlose Online-Pornos manchmal die Odyssee verdeckter Unternehmen, die mit den Interaktionen der NutzerInnen ihr Haupteinkommen bestreiten.

[rohrpost] Reminder: 11.-12. September: SAMIZDATA: Tactics and Strategies for Resistance
SAMIZDATA Tactics and Strategies for Resistance Wo: Kunstquartier Bethanien, Studio 1, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin. Partner Events: NOME, Dolziger Straße 31, 10247 Berlin. @SPEKTRUM, Bürknerstraße 12, 12047 Berlin. Wann: Konferenz: 11. September (17:30-19:30), 12. September 2015 (15:00-17:00). Ausstellungseröffnung: 10. September, 18:00, NOME (Partner Event). Cryptoparty: 12. September, 18:00, jeweils anschließend Bar (open end), SPEKTRUM. Eintritt: 5 Euro. Details: http://www.disruptionlab.org/samizdata. Alle Events finden in englischer Sprache statt. Viertes Event des Disruption Network Lab, unter der Leitung von Tatiana Bazzichelli, in Kooperation mit dem Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien. In Kollaboration mit: SAMIZDATA: Evidence of Conspiracy, Jacob Appelbaums erste Soloausstellung in Deutschland, im NOME, kuratiert von Tatiana Bazzichelli. SprecherInnen: Jacob Appelbaum (Journalist, Künstler und Wissenschaftler USA/DE); Laura Poitras (Journalistin und Filmemacherin, USA); Jørgen Johansen (Wissenschaftler und Aktivist, Resistance Study Network, NO); Theresa Züger (Wissenschaftlerin, DE); Jaromil (Hacktivist, Dyne.org, IT/NL); Sophie Toupin (Wissenschaftlerin und feministische Techno/Aktivistin, CA); Valie Djordjevic (Netzaktivistin, iRights.info, DE). Diese Konferenzveranstaltung bringt HackerInnen, KünstlerInnen und kritische DenkerInnen zusammen, um die Snowden-Enthüllungen und Strategien zum Widerstand im physischen und digitalen Leben zu analysieren. Sie arbeiten aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln am Konzept der sozialen Gerechtigkeit; ihr Ziel ist nicht genaue Instruktionen zu geben, sondern sich mögliche Alternativen in der Entwicklung gemeinsamer Formen des post-digitalen Widerstands vorzustellen. Die Snowden-Enthüllungen haben eine Debatte über Überwachung, Privatsphäre und Freiheit angestoßen. Aber was ist das politische Ergebnis der Snowden-Affäre in der Hacker-, Aktivisten und Kunstcommunity? Einerseits haben Snowdens Enthüllungen dazu beigetragen, Beweise für die versteckten geopolitischen Machtstrukturen zu liefern, auf der anderen Seite weiß man, dass man nichts verbergen kann und es unmöglich ist, die Gesamtheit der geleakten Dokumente zugänglich zu machen, was die Angst vor Überwachung und Kontrolle verstärkt. Zu oft wurde gefragt “Was können wir tun?”. Viele entwickeln Alternativen um Daten und Privatsphäre zu schützen, aber notwendig ist eine tiefergehende Diskussion über politische Handlungsfähigkeit und gemeinsame Formen des Widerstands, die über den Schutz der Privatsphäre und Daten hinausgehen. Dieses zweitägige Event findet in Kollaboration mit SAMIZDATA: Evidence of Conspiracy statt, Jacob Appelbaums erster Soloausstellung in Deutschland, im NOME (http://nomeproject.com). Eine Serie von kolorierten Infrarot-Fotografien als Cibachrome-Drucke kritisiert den fortschreitenden Verlust von Freiheit. Analoge Überwachungsfilme werden genutzt, um Menschen zu porträtieren, die selbst Überwachungstrukturen aufdecken.

McGrath (Gründer des Transparency Toolkit, USA/DE), Andrea Natella (ehemaliger Luther Blissett Verschwörer, künstlerischer Leiter der KOOK Artgency und von guerrigliamarketing.it, IT); Ruth Catlow (Mitbegründerin von Furtherfield, UK). Im Zeitalter von Big Data und im Kontext der vermehrten Überwachung durch Unternehmen und staatliche Institutionen werden die Asymmetrien in der Gesellschaft überdeutlich. Wie kann man konstruktiv auf die Bedrohung reagieren, die durch die Verfolgung unserer Online- (und Offline-) Aktivitäten entsteht? Und vor allem, wie können künstlerische Reaktionen aussehen, wenn wir spielerische und disruptive Herangehensweisen erhalten wollen? KünstlerInnen, HackerInnen, Scherzbolde, Mythenschmiede, GeschichtenerzählerInnen und Disrupter treffen zusammen, um zu diskutieren, wie geschlossene Systeme von innen herausgefordert werden können. Die Idee des Widerstands wird umgewandelt in die Gestaltung dezentralisierter, spielerischer und disruptiver Interventionen. Ein Stunt, Trick oder Kunststück ist eine unkonventionelle Handlung, die bestimmte Fähigkeiten erfordert und häufig von Menschen in extremen oder schwierigen Situationen durchgeführt wird. Die Idee des “politischen Stunts” als künstlerische und aktivistische Praxis bedeutet, Kritik zu üben, indem die Maschinerie benutzt wird, die man bekämpfen will – eine Strategie, die von vielen HackerInnen und KünstlerInnen angewendet wird. Durch das Konzept der “politischen Stunts” werden Kontrollmechanismen herausgestellt, die sowohl von Institutionen als auch Medienunternehmen bestimmt werden. Das Aufdecken sozialer Ungerechtigkeit oder Missstände in Unternehmen und Regierungen von innen heraus wird zur künstlerischen Strategie. Das Event beabsichtigt, diese Spannungen durch ein Netzwerk verschiedener, dezentraler, spielerischer und disruptiver Praktiken sowohl herauszustellen als auch aufzulösen. Ziel dabei ist, ein Bewusstsein für solche Mechanismen zu schaffen und eine kritische Perspektive und gemeinsame Debatte zu eröffnen.

[rohrpost] BOTS: Tracking Systems of Control - April 15th
Dear all, the next event of the Disruption Network Lab will take place in London, on April 15th, at the Somerset House - in case some of you want to join :) We plan to come back to Berlin in June - hopefully it will work out! Best, Tatiana BOTS: Tracking Systems of Control Location: Somerset House, New Wing, London, UK. Schedule: 15th of April (1pm-5pm). Admission: £7 / £5. Details: http://www.disruptionlab.org/bots Seventh event of the Disruption Network Lab, directed by Tatiana Bazzichelli, Conference developed in partnership with Abandon Normal Devices (AND, andfestival.org.uk) alongside "The Art of Bots" programme, taking place at Somerset House on 15 and 16 April 2016, London, UK (www.andfestival.org.uk/events/art-of-bots-london). Tickets: http://www.andfestival.org.uk/events/disruption-network-lab-bots/ Speakers: Cian Westmoreland (U.S. Air Force whistleblower, Project Red Hand, USA), Vladan Joler (Director of the SHARE Foundation, Associate Professor and Chair of New Media Department at the University of Novi Sad, RS), Joana Moll (artist and researcher, ES), Richard Tynan (Technologist, Privacy International, UK), Carmen Weisskopf (!Mediengruppe Bitnik, CH). Moderators: Marc Garrett (co-founder of Furtherfield, UK) and Tatiana Bazzichelli (Artistic Director of the Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE). "The diffusion of responsibility is the nature of modern warfare" (C. Westmoreland) "BOTS: Tracking Systems of Control" focuses on the dark side of bots usage, on the issues of surveillance, tracking and whistleblowing. The event aims to expand the definition of bots by interconnecting systems of control that are based on a high degree of automatism and diffused of responsibility. By bringing together whistleblowers, technologists, activists, researchers and artists the purpose is to analyse systems that perform automated functions, on a human and technological level. At the core of the discussion are network centric aerial warfare, online tracking, and pervasive invisible surveillance infrastructures. From one side, we want to encourage a deeper understanding of global aerial network systems coordinated over large distances, and question the ethical and legal responsibility in the nature of modern warfare; from the other side, we want to investigate the functionality and inner mechanisms of bulk metadata collection, and virtual surveillance technologies manufactured to acquire and process behavioural patterns. A conscious resistance against tracking and pervasive surveillance will be encouraged, allowing a greater understanding of network centric systems and imagining possible alternatives.

Wir möchten mit der aktuellen Situation in einer verantwortungsvollen Art und Weise umgehen und haben uns daher entschlossen, die Konferenz EVICTED BY GREED (zuvor geplant für 27.-28. März) auf den 29.-30. Mai 2020 zu verschieben. Der Subvertising Workshop wird statt im März nun am 28. Mai 2020 stattfinden, und das nächste Community Treffen am 6. Mai 2020 im ACUD Macht Neu. Der einzige unveränderte Teil des Programms ist die im Freien stattfindende City Tour am 29. März 2020 „Visiting the Invisible: A Berlin City Tour to Anonymous and Aggressive Real Estate Investors“ mit Christoph Trautvetter (keine Plätze mehr verfügbar). Aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage, wird die gleiche City Tour auch am 31. Mai 2020 stattfinden (Online-Registrierung erforderlich). Weitere Informationen werden auf unserer Website, im Newsletter sowie über unsere Social-Media-Kanäle veröffentlicht: http://disruptionlab.org.

[rohrpost] DISRUPTIVE FRIDAYS: edition #2, Today at 5pm Berlin time
Dear all, Hope you enjoyed our first Disruptive Fridays edition last week! In case you missed it, you can still watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUoyKFL0Fmw. Today we continue with the second edition of Disruption Network Lab’s new programme stream - DISRUPTIVE FRIDAYS (live every Friday at 5pm Berlin time), this time with a conversation between Michael Ang (artist and engineer), Andreas Kopp (creative technologist, maker, post-it artist and teacher) and Lieke Ploeger (Disruption Network Lab). We will speak about critical making in times of corona: how can we use digital fabrication techniques such as 3D printing and laser cutting in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic? Michael Ang & Andreas Kopp participated in the recent #wirvsvirus <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wirvsvirus>hackathon organised by the German government (https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/themen/coronavirus/hackathon-der-bundesregierung-1733632) to find digital community actions against the corona virus and its effects. Together with Nicholas de Coster they developed a design for an open source/DIY protective face shield, which is currently being printed and distributed to help medical professionals stay safe from infection (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4239203). Follow us live on Friday April 10th at 5pm on our website https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays Speakers: Michael Ang (Artist and engineer, CA/DE). Michael Ang is an artist and engineer who creates light objects, interactive installations, and technological tools that expand the possibilities of human expression and connection. Applying a hacker’s aesthetic, he often repurposes existing technology to create human-centered experiences in public space and the open field. Countering the trend for technology to dissociate us from ourselves and surroundings, Michael’s works connect us to each other and the experience of the present moment. He is the co-inventor of the Infl3ctor, the projection system for Digital Calligraffiti. He holds a Master’s Degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University, USA and a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada. https://www.michaelang.com/ Andreas Kopp (Creative technologist, maker, post-it artist and teacher, DE) Andreas Kopp loves to make things and learn new techniques of making, designing and coding. He is the founder of Erfindergarten <https://www.facebook.com/erfindergarten/>, an open workshop for digital production, Fab Lab, youth club and DIY community and workshop space in Munich, where he gives kids the best start into making and inventing things by learning them 21st century skill and inspire them to start learning and inventing themselves. He is also the artist/artisan behind postitartcreators. Kopp has been commissioned to create portraits and installations for exhibitions, events, shop-windows, shopping centers and commercials all over the world. He often works with Post-it® Notes but has also done works with cups or origami paper and loves to make his works interactive. https://www.postitartcreators.com/ Lieke Ploeger (Community director, Disruption Network Lab, NL/DE) Lieke Ploeger is the community director and administration officer of the Disruption Network Lab. She is the co-founder of the independent project space SPEKTRUMberlin <https://www.facebook.com/spektrumberlin/>art science community, where she worked as community builder from 2014 to 2018. Her core interest lies in building and developing both online and offline communities of interest, with a focus on sharing knowledge and expertise in an open way. She previously worked for the Open Knowledge Foundation and for the National Library of the Netherlands.

[rohrpost] VIRUS TRACKING & SURVEILLANCE - Disruptive Fridays #4 - April 24, 5pm Berlin
VIRUS TRACKING & SURVEILLANCE DISRUPTIVE FRIDAYS #4 - https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays April 24 2020 - 5pm Berlin time With: Lauri Love (Computer Scientist, UK), Joana Moll (Artist and Researcher, ES), Julian Finn (Hacker and Media Artist, DE), Tatiana Bazzichelli (Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE). A live conversation on the implication of citizen tracking during the COVID-19 Pandemic. During "Virus Tracking & Surveillance" we'll discuss about the implications of tracking and data retention on everyday life, as well as the necessity to implement technology for collective care while respecting privacy and surveillance concerns. Is tracking in public space becoming necessary to monitor individual health conditions, or do we need to protect our citizen rights to keep such data fully anonymous? In the last few weeks the necessity of developing Corona tracking apps has become part of a very crucial debate, but it is even more crucial to guarantee data protection. As reported by Heise Online, one of more apps will be available in Germany from mid-April onwards, on the basis of the PEPP-PT (Pan European Privacy Protecting Proximity Tracing) project. This will enable users to use Bluetooth technology to determine whether they have been in contact with a Corona-infected person who also uses the system. But there are already some concerns related to IT security problems, connected to the use of Bluetooth technology, or about the possibility to provide such system without accessing the location information on the mobile phone. For example, Digitalcourage points out that under Android, the use of the Bluetooth interface is only permitted if the use of local services is enabled at the same time. On the other side, the more physical control we have over tracking devices the more information these devices can extract. While tracking devices unfold as everyday objects, able to be run and operated by the average citizen, the information that they collect becomes increasingly undecipherable by the very same user that operates such device. Since the appearance of the Panopticon in the 18th century, tracking devices have gradually come closer to our bodies, yet COVID-19 crisis pushes social control one step further. It requires to control biological processes, and it requires to implement it fast. Lauri Love (Computer Scientist, UK) Lauri Love is a computer scientist from Stradishall in the UK who has a long history of involvement in political activism. He played a prominent role in the student and Occupy movements in Glasgow during 2011-12.

[rohrpost] Whistleblowing During COVID-19 - Disruptive Fridays #7 - May 15
Dear all, Disruptive Fridays #7 - Whistleblowing During COVID-19 focuses on the role of whistleblowers during COVID-19 and discusses the importance of exposing the truth during the pandemic. Starting Friday May 15, 5pm CEST On streaming: https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays With: Renata Avila (Executive Director of Ciudadanía Inteligente, GTM), Joseph Farrell (WikiLeaks Ambassador, UK), Annegret Falter (Chair of the Whistleblower Netzwerk e.V., DE), Rima Sghaier (Outreach & Research Fellow, Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights, TUN/IT), Tatiana Bazzichelli (Founder & Director, Disruption Network Lab, e. V., IT/DE). Some weeks ago a coalition of public authorities and institutions have signed a letter to protect those who report or expose the harms, abuses and wrongdoing that arise during the COVID-19 crisis. "The COVID-19 pandemic brings into stark relief the importance of accountability and the need for regular and reliable information from our public institutions and our leaders. The people of every affected country need to know the truth about the spread of the disease both locally and internationally in order to respond effectively and help protect their communities. Fairness, transparency and cooperation are vital and never more so than during a pandemic." https://whistleblower.org/sign-on-letter/sign-on-coalition-to-make-whistleblowing-safe-during-covid-19-and-beyond/ The role of whistleblowers is crucial in times of crisis to expose wrongdoing and misconducts in private and public institutions, health systems, working environments, commercial and delivery markets, and to denounce abuses of personal privacy, both on the digital sphere and the everyday life. The work of whistleblowers is central to denounce power violations and to protect the most vulnerable sectors of our society, but also whistleblowers are people at risk. They are subjects of repression and opposition before and after blowing the whistle, and often confined in isolation, imprisoned or persecuted while their civil rights are suspended. In a moment in which governments are entitle to use extraordinary powers without proper public oversight and transparency, we need to protect whistleblowers and discuss forms of collective participation to guarantee global safety and accountability, as well as to defend the human rights and freedoms of all people. Read more here about whistleblowers around the world that got silenced or suffered persecution during COVID-19. https://whistleblower.org/blog/covid-19-the-largest-attack-on-whistleblowers-in-the-world/ SPEAKERS: Renata Avila (Executive Director of Ciudadanía Inteligente, GTM) Renata Avila, International Human Rights Lawyer, Technology Expert.

[rohrpost] Harm Reduction and Queer Care - Disruptive Fridays #6 - May 8
Disruptive Fridays #6 - May 8, 2020 Harm Reduction and Queer Care Starting Friday 5pm Berlin time. The sixth edition of Disruptive Fridays features a conversation with Pedro Marum (XenoEntities Network, Mina, Suspension, PT/DE), Mariana Nobre V. (Performer, choreographer, queer rave instigator, Emotional CPR - eCPR, Rabbit Hole and Lecken collectives, PT/DE), Mariana Cunha (Kosmicare, PT) and Rafi (Artist, Organizer, TS Raver, DE), moderated by Nada Bakr (Disruption Network Lab EG/DE). During this conversation we will discuss harm reduction within queerfeminist self-organized communities that welcome queers, trans, POC and neurodivergent people to discuss, test and learn about psychoactive substances. For long they have operated with structures that not only provide moments of revelry but also much-needed care and acceptance for many, who often find in these communities their peers, their kin, forms of coping and resistance. In the current times of pandemic and isolation they are debating how to continue this work. As the clubs and parties close, where does all this energy go now? What happens to all the bottled-up anxieties and loneliness? What happens to the people that struggle with addiction and, instead of understanding, find prejudice and discrimination? Who looks after those whose needs have always been overlooked or oppressed? What happens now that governments have (yet again) failed to protect, and these communities have become de-fragmented and even more precarious under isolation? How can we foster collective digital support, debates, talks and guidelines about harm reduction and emotional support in self-isolation times? With Pedro Marum, Mariana Cunha, Mariana Nobre V. and Rafi we will speak about their ongoing projects and about “RAVELENGTH”, an upcoming project in which they collaborate to generate accessible tools for harm reduction, relief and empowerment within the queerfeminist electronic music scene and raver communities. By organizing online discussions, workshops and support groups in collaboration with artists, healthcare professionals and local community organizers, they call for a culture of solidarity across and beyond European borders. Speakers: Pedro Marum (XenoEntities Network, Mina, Suspension, PT/DE) Marum is one of the instigators of the collective party mina (Lisbon), co-founder of the label and artist platform suspension, and founder member of XenoEntities Network. mina and suspension have started a collaboration with harm reduction NGO Kosmicare, organising talks and exchange groups with the queer community, raising awareness and providing access to tools and knowledge on harm reduction. In response to the pandemic crisis, together with other collectives they initiated Ravelength. Mariana Nobre V. (Performer, choreographer, queer rave instigator, Emotional CPR (eCPR), Rabbit Hole and Lecken collectives, PT/DE) Emotional CPR is a practice based on values of mutual support and interpersonal communication for addressing personal and community moments of crisis and distress. Having its origins on a public health education program developed in the field of mental health, eCPR is now being integrated with somatic practices and informed by queer principles of consent, inclusion, collective action, access and solidarity. This work is being developed by a team of eCPR practitioners and artists with extensive experience in queer activism, movement research, queer nightlife production and harm reduction. Mariana Cunha (Kosmicare, PT) Mariana works with Kosmicare, an NGO that envisions a world where drugs are used with liberty and wisdom. She studied pharmacological and neurosciences and has been working in harm reduction since 2017. Currently, she runs a permanent drug checking laboratory in Lisbon. Her interests include psychopharmacology, raves, science fiction and everything in between. Rafi (Artist, Organizer, TS Raver, DE) Rafi is an organiser and artist based in Berlin. He organises with TS Raver, a queer nightlife project that positions peer led harm reduction teams as anchors for critical care.

[rohrpost] Global Surveillance in the Data Society - Disruptive Fridays #12, Sept 11 5PM CEST
Dear all, we are back with our Disruptive Fridays and we are looking forward to seeing you online at our upcoming event this Friday, September 11: Disruptive Fridays #12: Global Surveillance in the Data Society September 11, 5PM CEST With Sonia Kennebeck (Film Director, MY/DE/US), Assia Boundaoui (Journalist, Filmmaker, Artists, DZA/US), Jer Thorp (Artist, Writer and Teacher, CA/US). Moderated by Tatiana Bazzichelli (Artistic Director, Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE), Mauro Mondello (Investigative Journalist, Filmmaker, IT). On September 11, Disruption Network Lab is organising Disruptive Fridays 12#: Global Surveillance in the Data Society, a preview of the conference DATA CITIES: Smart Technologies, Tracking & Human Rights - which Tatiana Bazzichelli is curating together with investigative journalist Mauro Mondello (September 25-27, Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin). The conversation will reflect on the discourse of surveillance and human rights during the coronavirus crisis, and will reconnect it to another event that reshaped our society: 9/11. We decided to host it on 9/11 as a symbolic date, which signed unprecedented measures on the level of security and surveillance, compromising our privacy and freedom, and changing the way we perceived our society. To unfold the discussion we invited three speakers that have been dealing with the issues of data, tracking and human rights since long time. Sonia Kennebeck will introduce her last film UNITED STATES VS. REALITY WINNER, currently in post-production. The film is the story of 25-year-old NSA contractor Reality Winner who disclosed a document about Russian election interference to the media and became the number one leak target of the Trump administration. In the framework of the discussion on post-9/11 surveillance and whistleblowing, she will trace a line that connects her three films: National Bird (the story of three whistleblowers who blow the whistle on the US drone war), Enemies of the State (about the case of hacker Matt DeHart), and United States vs. Reality Winner. Assia Boundaoui will present her work combining community storytelling, visual arts, and artificial intelligence. Her work, The Inverse Surveillance Project, is an AI program analysing hundreds of thousands of documents collated by the FBI on people of colour over the past 100 years, revealing historic patterns on tactics it used during operations. An Algerian-American journalist and filmmaker based in Chicago, she directed the film The Feeling of Being Watched, a documentary investigating a decade of FBI surveillance in Boundaoui's Muslim-American community, which had its world premiere at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. Jer Thorp, a data artist that designed (with Jake Barton) an algorithm and a software tool to aid in the placement of the names on the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan, will discuss his data artistic practice. His 9/11 Memorial Project allowed to arrange the names of those killed in the 9/11 attacks, respecting their familial, personal and business relationships with each other. He also collaborated with Mark Hansen, Ben Rubin, and Local Projects to create an interactive timeline of the attacks. Author of many data-inspired artworks, his forthcoming book Living in Data will be published in 2021. We will discuss the issue of surveillance and human rights, reflecting on the transformation of our lives when security measures have been extensively implemented in the US and worldwide. Tatiana Bazzichelli and Mauro Mondello will moderate the talk. SPEAKERS Sonia Kennebeck, Film Director, MY/DE/US Sonia Kennebeck is an independent documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist with more than 15 years of directing and producing experience. She has directed eight television documentaries and more than 50 investigative reports. National Bird, her first feature-length film, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival 2016 and was also selected for Tribeca, Sheffield, and IDFA. In March 2017, National Bird received the prestigious Ridenhour Documentary Film Prize that is awarded to one documentary a year “that defends the public interest, advances or promotes social justice, or illuminates a more just vision of society.” Kennebeck received a master’s degree in international affairs from American University in Washington, D.C. She was born in Malacca, Malaysia, and lives in New York. https://www.codebreakerfilms.com/films Assia Boundaoui, Journalist, Filmmaker, Artists, DZA/US Assia Boundaoui is an Algerian-American journalist and filmmaker based in Chicago. She has reported for the BBC, NPR, PRI, Al Jazeera, VICE, and CNN. Her debut short film about hijabi hair salons for the HBO LENNY documentary series premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

[rohrpost] Crossing Borders: Sub-Saharan communities of care & resistance · June 19, 5PM CEST
Crossing Borders: Sub-Saharan communities of care & resistance · June 19, 5PM CEST Disruptive Fridays #9 - Streaming on: https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays Global. That is the definition and the reality of a pandemic. Yet, most attention and resources are confined by human made borders. Hosted in collaboration with Bridge Figures, Disruptive Fridays #9 connects with creative and activist communities in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa to learn and share about responses relevant to local and global communities. With: Sharlotte Kigezo (Psychologist, KY/UG), Peter Nkanga (Journalist & campaigner, NG), Jedi Ramalapa (Broadcast journalist, ZA), Moderated by Magnus Ag (Bridge Figures, DK) and Lieke Ploeger (Disruption Network Lab, NL/DE). Since the outbreak of COVID-19, an overwhelming amount of news and data has been flooding us. The media coverage seems to focus on the national and hyperlocal situation – while we are dealing with a global pandemic. In this conversation we focus on the response of Sub-Saharan Africa to the coronavirus outbreak, and hear from some of the people that work on creating a conversation around COVID-19 – one that can contribute to a more global understanding of what we are all facing. - # Speakers: Jedi Ramalapa is a South African broadcast journalist. She is the current Editor-In-Chief of a non-profit podcasting organisation, Sound Africa; which aims to produce original narrative (audio) journalism which upends the stereotypes and cliches about Africa and Africans. She also hosts Sound Africa's newest weekly podcast series Covid-In-Africa, looking at the African response to COVID-19 and how it’s affecting people on the ground. She will address the impact of the pandemic on human rights. Peter Nkanga is an independent multilingual investigative journalist based in Abuja, Nigeria . He is the former West Africa Representative of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and specializes in human rights and advocacy reporting. A fierce advocate for press freedom, Peter Nkanga has been at the forefront of the campaign for the rights of journalists in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa. In 2019, he was awarded the “Jamal Khashoggi Award for Courageous Journalism” for his work. He will share more on how the virus outbreak has affected public procurement, the process of governments and state-owned corporations deciding which goods, services and works to spend public funds on. Sharlotte Ainebyoona Kigezo is a psychologist, mental health advocate and spoken word artist based between Kenya and Uganda. She is passionate about mental health and community-based programs that build for a strong mental and physical foundation for the society. Sharlotte has been instrumental in facilitating trauma healing programs for refugee communities and art therapy programs for the creative and arts community. This being on the basis of mental health and factors that act as triggers to mental health like experiencing traumatic events (civil or cross-border wars, sexual assault, cyber bullying). She will discuss how we can best address mental health issues in these times, following her recent work with both refugee and artist communities on mental health awareness and forms of online therapy. Magnus Ag is a human rights advocate, journalist, and researcher. He is the founder & director of Bridge Figures – a human rights organization that scales the potential of artists, activists, journalists & other agents of social change to build bridges and break walls in a data-driven world. Based between Hong Kong and Berlin, he previously worked with Copenhagen-based Freemuse — which defends the right to artistic freedom worldwide — and in New York as the Assistant Advocacy Director for the Committee to Protect Journalists. Magnus serves on Columbia University’s Committee on Global Thought’s advisory committee for the project The Politics of Visual Art in a Changing World, is an advisor to Avant-Garde Lawyers, and a proud member of PEN Hong Kong. Lieke Ploeger is the community director and administration officer of the Disruption Network Lab. She is the co-founder of the independent project space SPEKTRUM art science community, where she worked as community builder from 2014 to 2018. Her core interest lies in building and developing both online and offline communities of interest, with a focus on sharing knowledge and expertise in an open way.

[rohrpost] THE Q IN QONSPIRACY: QAnon as a Paradigm for Future Social-media-driven Conspiracism
Dear all, I would like to invite you to take part in a conversation with Wu Ming 1, Florian Cramer and myself tomorrow afternoon (March 12), as part of our Disruptive Fridays series, at 5PM CET. We can get questions from the audience via chat. Read more here (and go to the chat): https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays Since 2020 we have been experiencing two pandemics at once: Covid-19 and conspiracy fantasies about Covid-19. The pandemic emergency accelerated a process that had been going on for years: the rise of a new kind of hyper-charged, social-media-driven conspiracism. In this respect, QAnon is a paradigmatic case. What is QAnon, or what was it? A political movement, a game, a cult, a terrorist threat? All that and more. In this conversation QAnon is discussed as a template for contemporary social-media-driven conspiracy fantasies that work simultaneously as games and a new kind of cults. By focusing on the mutation of conspiracy myths from countercultural phenomena to contemporary meme and influencer culture, Florian Cramer and Wu Ming 1 will focus on three conspiracy narratives: "The Great Replacement" (from Renaud Camus to Charlottesville), QAnon (from Pizzagate to the Capitol storming) and "The Great Reset" (as a set of pandemic-inspired variations on the old New World Order trope). The conversation is centered around Wu Ming 1's forthcoming book "La Q di Qomplotto" [The Q in qonspiracy], to be published end of March in Italian by Edizioni Alegre, which describes how conspiracy fantasies help legitimise systems of control (find here the index in English https://edizionialegre.it/notizie/the-q-in-conspiracy/). Join us tomorrow here at 5PM CET: https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays Get reminders from here (Facebook video): https://www.facebook.com/disruptionlab/posts/2664839330428196 This is a pre-event of our upcoming conference (March 18-20): BEHIND THE MASK: WHISTLEBLOWING DURING THE PANDEMIC Whistleblowers, human rights advocates, journalists, activists, artists, lawyers and researchers denouncing abuses and wrongdoing in the course of the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. https://www.disruptionlab.org/behind-the-mask All the best, and see you there!

[rohrpost] POWERS OF TRUTH: China, Tech, Art and Resistance (October 1-3, Berlin & Online)
Dear all, I would like to remind you that this weekend our conference POWERS OF TRUTH: China, Tech, Art and Resistance will be live on streaming and in Berlin at Kunstquartier Bethanien. As usual we will also offer an online chat where people from remote would be able to send their questions and interact with us. Join us in person or online! POWERS OF TRUTH: China, Tech, Art and Resistance The 24th conference of the Disruption Network Lab Streaming and more info: https://www.disruptionlab.org/powers-of-truth Friday, October 1 · 2021 / Start: 16:00 CEST Saturday, October 2 · 2021 / Start 14:00 CEST The conference POWERS OF TRUTH brings together artists, journalists, activists and tech experts inside and outside China to better navigate and understand dominant narratives around China we are exposed to from Beijing to Washington and Brussels, from Silicon Valley to Shenzhen. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that politics, economy, and technical infrastructures defy borders. What is developed in the Eastern part of the world influences on a large scale what is happening in Europe, as well as in the South and the West. What can we learn about methods and tactics of survival, agency, and hope among the Chinese communities? How can we envision a future in which the diversity of China’s many ethnicities, identities, and cultures will be respected? How can we understand the coexistence of censorship and a pioneering technological and economical innovation in China? The conference focuses on the importance of understanding the current Chinese context analysing three main streams: technological impact, artistic experimentation and human rights protection in China and beyond.

[rohrpost] THE KILL CLOUD: Networked Warfare, Drones & AI - March 25-27
Dear all, I would like to inform you about our upcoming conference THE KILL CLOUD: Networked Warfare, Drones & AI at Kunstquartier Bethanien, 25 – 27 March 2022, in Berlin and on streaming. Details: https://www.disruptionlab.org/the-kill-cloud The dramatic situation in Ukraine and the power takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan demonstrate that war and global humanitarian crises are burning issues at the top of our political and media agendas. But in the meantime, a data driven, global military infrastructure is developing – mostly unnoticed by people and ignored by the media. What is the future of war? Which political and technological strategies are already in use? What can whistleblowing and other acts of civil disobedience achieve in this power game? The conference "The Kill Cloud" debates these questions and brings together, apart from the most well-known whistleblowers in the US drone war, military experts, AI researchers, investigative journalists, human rights lawyers and representatives of NGO such as Transparency International, Airwars, and Kabul Luftbrucke (air bridge). Some light will also be shed on the presence and role of the Ramstein US Military Base in Germany. The conference offers deep insight into the highly problematic ethical issues on the use of AI and satellite technology to enable targeted killing via drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as an investigation into how atrocities such as the collateral bombing of civilians without soldiers can happen. Furthermore, human rights violations, surveillance and data protection breaches, transparency issues, and the implication of private companies in modern war conflicts will be discussed. Schedule (below). More info about speakers and programme: https://www.disruptionlab.org/the-kill-cloud#programme I hope to see you there in person or online!

[rohrpost] Reminder: THE KILL CLOUD: Networked Warfare, Drones & AI - March 25-27
Dear all, I would like to remind you about our upcoming conference THE KILL CLOUD: Networked Warfare, Drones & AI at Kunstquartier Bethanien, 25 – 27 March, in Berlin. We would love to see you in person, but it will also be possible to follow us online. A chat will be active on our website to ask questions to our speakers from remote. Challenging AI powered global military programmes & targeted killings through civic action and whistleblowing. Details: https://www.disruptionlab.org/the-kill-cloud Keynote speakers are drone whistleblowers and intelligence analysts Cian Westmoreland and Lisa Ling, co-authors of "The Kill Cloud: Real World Implications of Network Centric Warfare", a revealing book chapter of our anthology Whistleblowing for Change (transcript Verlag, November 2021), which gives the title to this conference. Free digital version of the book: https://www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-5793-7/whistleblowing-for-change/ Former sensor operator Brandon Bryant, the first whistleblower that analysed and exposed drone-systems and their strategies, will also be present, together with AI researchers and experts, lawyers, journalists and human rights advocates from Afghanistan, Germany and internationally. The aim is to provide some understanding into ethical problems with the use of AI and satellite technology to enable targeted killing via drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as give an insight into how atrocities such as the collateral bombing of civilians without soldiers can happen. Diffusion of responsibility and desensitisation of conflicts are characterising the network of modern warfare, which is based on a complex interconnection of technologies and systems of hierarchy. We believe that it is crucial to keep such debate alive internationally and in Germany in particular, considering the presence of the U.S. air force base in Ramstein.

[rohrpost] MADNESS, Fighting for Justice in Mental Health - 25.–27. November 2022
MADNESS, Fighting for Justice in Mental Health - 25.–27. November 2022, Berlin. https://www.disruptionlab.org/madness Vom 25. bis 27. November findet die internationale Konferenz „MADNESS: Fighting for Justice in Mental Health“ im Berliner Kunstquartier Bethanien statt. Die bereits 28. Konferenz des Disruption Network Lab diskutiert die psychologische sowie psychiatrische Gesundheitsversorgung und stellt vorherrschende Diskurse, Praktiken, Vorurteile und Ungerechtigkeiten in den Blickpunkt. Die Konferenz versammelt Positionen von unterschiedlichen beteiligten bzw. betroffenen Personen: Wissenschaftler:innen, Menschenrechtsaktivist:innen, Vorkämpfer:innen für soziale Gerechtigkeit, Künstler:innen, Ärzt:innen und Fachkräfte der psychischen Gesundheitsversorgung, aber auch – als unmittelbar Betroffene – Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen. Konferenzformate sind Vorträge, Diskussionsrunden, Performances, Filmvorführungen und Workshops. Die Konferenz MADNESS geht der Frage nach, wie es um die Werte von Freiheit, Gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit im Gesundheitssystem bestellt ist. Wie wird darüber entschieden, wer die Diagnose einer psychischen Erkrankung erhält? Und welche Vorstellung von Psychiatrie bestimmt unser Denken? Die Referent:innen geben wichtige Einblicke in ihre Aktivitäten und Positionen an der Schnittstelle von Psychiatrie, Psychologie, Kunst und Aktivismus für soziale Gerechtigkeit. Psychologin Jasna Russo thematisiert die Bedeutung von Gerechtigkeit im psychischen Gesundheitssystem, während sich Forscher und Dozent Colin King mit institutionellem Rassismus und struktureller Diskriminierung in der öffentlichen Gesundheitsfürsorge in Großbritannien befasst. Wilda L. White, Gründerin der US-amerikanischen Plattform MadFreedom, erörtert, welche rechtlichen Konsequenzen es hat, wenn man in den USA als verrückt abgestempelt wird, während China Mills, Wissenschaftlerin der University of London, einen globalen Überblick über die sogenannte staatliche Gewalt und die Frage gibt, wie Gerechtigkeit in der psychischen Gesundheitsversorgung aussehen kann. Lamia Moghnieh, Reima Ana Maglajlic und Donato Zupin diskutieren über mögliche inklusive und gerechtere Strukturen des Gesundheitssystems sowie die Dekolonialisierung der Psychiatrie. Die Performance Sentire zeigt eine künstlerische Umsetzung des Phänomens des Stimmenhörens, während sich das Screening eines 30-minütigen Dokumentarfilms der Destigmatisierung von Schizophrenie widmet. Im anschließenden Panel präsentieren Marcello Lussana, Anika Krbetschek und Dolly Sen ihre künstlerische Herangehensweisen im Umgang mit verschiedenen psychischen Krankheiten. Dabei beziehen sie neue Forschungsergebnisse, aktuelle Ansätze der Kunsttherapie und Humor mit ein und entwickeln somit einen eigenen proaktiven Ansatz. Konferenzkonzept: Tatiana Bazzichelli & Elena Veljanovska. Kuratiert von: Elena Veljanovska. Community Events & Workshops kuratiert von: Nada Bakr.

[rohrpost] OPENING PRISONS: Art as Investigation & Deconstruction of Carceral Spaces - Fri Nov 4
Dear all, I would like to invite you to attend our upcoming online panel this Friday at 5PM CET, as part of our Disruptive Fridays series: Opening Prisons: Art as Investigation & Deconstruction of Carceral Spaces With Sean Vegezzi (Visual Artist and Researcher, US) and Fiamma Montezemolo (Artist and Anthropologist, IT/US). Moderated by Tatiana Bazzichelli (Founder & Artistic Director, Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE) Live & online chat - Friday Nov 4, 2022: https://www.disruptionlab.org/fridays FREE Registration: https://pretix.eu/disruptionlab/df31/ This Disruptive Fridays launches a series of events heading to the SMART PRISONS: Tracking, Monitoring & Control conference, that will take place on March 24-26 at Kunstquartier Bethanien in Berlin. At the core is the investigation of recent developments in the creation of prisons and detention centres, with attention both on technical and ethical implications of tracking, monitoring and control. New York based artist and researcher Sean Vegezzi introduces his investigative artistic project on an obscured part of New York City's carceral infrastructure – as an artistic production commissioned by Disruption Network Lab, whose results will be presented at our conference during a keynote speech. The focus of his investigation is the Vernon C. Bain Center (VCBC), an 800-bed, 191-meter floating detention facility moored in the East River within the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx. VCBC functions as an auxiliary of the Rikers Island jail complex and is the primary facility for the criminal court intake in the Bronx. Worldwide, it is the only floating structure that was ever purpose-built as a detention facility. Vegezzi's work with Disruption Network Lab in 2022-2023 will present the history of this structure through a curated selection of archival materials gathered thus far, and a commissioned video installation that will bring the "ship" into more expansive public view from its current state of "offshore obscurity" (Mike Ricketts, 2015). Sean Vegezzi's talk for Disruptive Fridays starts with an extract of the film Edgelands: VCBC, made in collaboration with Laura Poitras and grassroots organization Take Back the Bronx / TBBX (IG, TW). Fiamma Montezemolo works at the intersection between contemporary art and anthropology, creating site-specific, interdisciplinary, and cross-genre interventions that build on her long-term exposure to borderlands and border zones. In this talk, she will focus on specific issues related to the border as a sign of confinement and the possibility of overthrowing its constraining connotation through certain acts of imagination. Montezemolo will present Project Perucatti, in which, working with architect and designer José Parral, she transformed the historical Santo Stefano prison on the island of Santo Stefano from an architectural center of power (the panopticon) into a volume populated with poetic still images. She will also discuss Exit Only, in which 'Exit Only’ is the Guantanamo Bay Museum of Art and History’s exit ticket. The piece meditates on the deferred temporality of a facility whose promise to be closed never arrives, except for those in possession of the ‘Exit Only’ ticket. As more visitors deliberately choose to enter in possession of this yearly ticket and with it to access and create an art critical space, the emergency measures of wartime are gradually disabled.

[rohrpost] SMART PRISONS: Tracking, Monitoring & Control. March 24–26, 2023
Dear Rohrpost List, I would like to invite you to come to our upcoming conference in Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin (or on streaming). You can also follow us remotely using our online chat for questions to the speakers. SMART PRISONS: Tracking, Monitoring & Control March 24–26 · 2023. 29th conference of the Disruption Network Lab. https://www.disruptionlab.org/smart-prisons The conference SMART PRISONS: Tracking, Monitoring & Control traces back the creation of "algorithms of security" through the past twenty years, reflecting on the effects of technological violence and surveillance directed at migrants, activists, and dissidents in Europe and worldwide. Alongside ethical questions around the abuse of privacy, these technological implementations need to be analysed to hold governments and corporations accountable and socially responsible. Deploying automatised technologies may increase problems of bias, discrimination, and wrongful punishments, and raise psychological pressures to conform, furthering a culture hostile to dissent. SMART PRISONS looks at how specific targets, whether prisoners, migrants at borders, or dissidents, have been progressively marginalised, trapped inside prison facilities, detention centres, or within systems of automatised control, being labeled as threats or suspects, due to intersectional biases or critical political activity. ## Schedule # Friday March 24, 2023 17:00 – 17:15 · OPENING & INTRODUCTION Tatiana Bazzichelli (Artistic Director, Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE). 17:15 – 18:45 · KEYNOTE: Investigating the Vernon C.

[rohrpost] Screening: The Feeling of Being Watched by Assia Boundaoui, May 5, 7:30pm
Dear all, following our 29th conference "Smart Prison: Tracking, Monitoring & Control", we invite you to join us on May 5 at 7.30 pm for the screening of "The Feeling of Being Watched" by Assia Boundaoui, at ACUD MACHT NEU in Berlin. “The Feeling of Being Watched" by Assia Boundaoui explores the impact of surveillance on Muslim-American communities in the wake of the War on Terror, and raises important questions about privacy, security, and civil liberties. In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance. Assia struggles to disrupt the government secrecy shrouding what happened and takes the FBI to federal court to compel them to make the records they collected about her community public. In the process, she confronts long-hidden truths about the FBI’s relationship to her community. The Feeling of Being Watched follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family. AFTER THE SCREENING, we invite you to network over drinks at ACUD MACHT NEU, in Berlin-Mitte. This will be an opportunity to connect with others who are interested in the intersection of technology and criminal justice reform, and to share your own insights and perspectives.
