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