NL-Design and Paradiso present

6TH INTERNATIONAL BROWSERDAY=20

WIRELESS =AD CELLSPACE =AD RICH AIR
PARADISO =AD AMSTERDAM - friday May 17 - 2002=20
Start at 2 PM

Browserday, the international competition for new media designers,  is
coming back to Amsterdam. After Browserdays in New York and Berlin, the
next event will take place at Paradiso on 17 May 2002. In 1998, the
first Browserday was staged in the midst of the so-called 'Browserwar'
between Netscape and Microsoft. Ever since the question who owns
infrastructure and thus determines the ways in which billions of people
communicate has become increasingly urgent. The techno-economic
battleground has shifted from the Internet to mobile networks but the
issues are still the same: who sets the standards and owns them? What
degree of freedom does the user have and what is the role of designers
in this fast changing world of new media? Almost 35 young designers =
will
present their alternative proposals that leave the existing software =
and
interface culture far behind.=20

Wireless
The networks have liberated themselves from their cables. Electroclouds
blow through the streets. The heavy desktop computers of yesteryear =
have
shrunk and accompany us everywhere and nowhere. The unbearable =
lightness
of the media makes us feel uneasy about the almost perfect =
accessability
of the world. The invisible abundance of signs takes users into a
technological unconscious. For the moment all problems seem to be
solved. But who are the ones that invite us to this technological
wonderland? Are wireless networks part of society or are we mere paying
guests of this cell space; clients granted access only after having
paid? Does wireless mean powerless? Can we act against wireless devices
being tapped? Are there public spaces on the network that aren't being
run by the big telecoms? What do the tiny screens look like that offer
more facilities than sending text messages or photos?=20

contributed to this colorful book.=20
