Ah so that's where they all went to. Going back to Weimar, of all places
(sorry, bad joke). Thanks Kevin, for forwarding it, i lost sight of the
wild bunch since 1999 & it seems some have come to similar conclusions on
khaki boots

UTOPIA REVERSED - An Assault on Neurospace
A two-day meeting in Weimar about new forms of art and activism hitting
the global mind
Weimar, May 26-27, 2005, h20-22.
Schiller Festival, Utopia Baustelle
www.schillerfestival.com/Utopie/10_Reversed.html
What is today's space for political and artistic action? From political
utopia to TV imagery to cyberspace, different kinds of 'space' have
been populated in contemporary culture. A group of Italian and French
activists will gather in Weimar trying to explore and discuss new
spaces and new strategies of activism after the internet. Under the
concept of 'neurospace' Matteo Pasquinelli, media theorist from Bologna
and editor of Rekombinant, will focus on the convergence between
popular imagery and networked environment. Technology-based activism is
turning into biopolitical forms of communication: not simply
counter-information or media activism but the production of new
collective subjectivies and narrations. Just back from the EuroMayDay
005 mobilizations, Alex Foti will tell tales of San Precario, the new
icon of metropolitan resistance from net/temp/flex and precarious
workers in Italy, while Zoe Romano will introduce Serpica Naro, the
open source stylist whose multi-level media hoax caused waves of panic
among Italian fashion designers. Turning to social reactions to
mediascape, Andre Gattolin will look at the activities of the Anti-Pub
Brigades, a French movement that fights against the visual dominance of
commercial ads in the urban public space. Sara Massaccesi from Rome
will illustrate Guerriglia Marketing's modus operandi in the
brandscape. The Milan-based game developer Paolo Pedercini will screen
his Molle Industria project, which has alredy been covered by the BBC
in its treatment of 'political videogames'.
Curators: Jan Hendrik Brueggemeir, Matteo Pasquinelli.
