From Managerial Feudalism to the Revolt of the Caring Classes
David Graeber
One apparent paradox of the digitisation of work is that while productivity in manufacturing is skyrocketing, productivity in caring professions (health, education) is actually declining - sparking a global wave of labour struggle. Existing economic paradigms blind us to understanding how economies have come to be organised. We meed an entirely new discipline, based on a different set of values.

Once you start looking at electronic trash you see it everywhere: in laptops of course but also increasingly in cars, fridges, even inside the bodies of humans and other animals. The talk will look at how artists have been exploring the e-junk invasion.

Hacking and hackers can be hard to visualize. In the popular imagination, the figure alternates between a menacing, hooded figure or some sort of drugged-out and depressed juvenile hero (or perhaps a state-sponsored hacker). To counter such images, a group of us have spearheaded a new digitally-based video project, Hack_Curio that features hacker-related videos, culled from a range of sources, documentary film, newscasts, hacker conference talks, advertising, and popular film. In this talk, the ...

Hieda is researching the use of algorithm through creation of media installations and dialog with artists, dancers, choreographers and musicians.

Kann künstliche Intelligenz Kunst erzeugen? Können Menschen von künstlich intelligenten Systemen erzeugte Kunst verstehen? Ist Kunst ein Weg zu neuen Stufen eines kybernetischen Verstandes? Der Stand der KI-Kunst ist keine Kunst oder keine KI. Aber wir werden mit unserer menschlichen Eitelkeit konfrontiert werden, nicht die Einzigen zu sein, die schöpferisch und auch künstlerische Relevanz in Betrachtern auslösen.

Festivals and events are organized by a small group of deciders. But what would Eris do? (chaos!) We will look at some of our experiences with decentralised festivals where every participant can truly participate, reflect on how they influence our way of discussing and producing art and technology and discuss p2panda, an idea of a p2p protocol for (self-)organising resources, places and events, which is based on the SSB protocol.
