Exhibition / Presentation: 22–26 June 2016 during MAK opening times MAK FORUM MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna In the MAK FORUM, Technopolitics invites visitors to the curated knowledge space “Tracing Information Society.” A 11-meter-long textual work sheds new light on the information society viewed across a timeframe of more than 100 years. Here, the genesis and influence of the information society can be studied not by scrolling on a screen, but by walking along the printed timeline. This multidimensional mapping of political events, technological inventions, and cultural developments shows how the information society has seized and transformed every sphere. The entries may be understood in more depth on the timetable, which presents analog and digital media arranged by categories. A network visualization reveals salient associations between the timeline entries on the basis of Wikipedia. Technopolitics is a research platform composed of scientists, artists, computer scientists, and journalists, who jointly develop innovative formats at the intersection of art, research, and education. http://www.technopolitics.info/ In cooperation with MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art. This project is supported by the Arts Division of the Federal Chancellery of Austria and the Cultural Affairs Department of the City of Vienna (MA 7). With special thanks to Austrian Radio ORF Oe1. ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
