1_VIPER CONFERENCE

Under the motto GENERATIONS ON THE MOVE VIPER is presenting an
internationa=
l
Conference.=20

Three subject areas will be up for discussion:
PERFORMING TO SURVIVE focuses on equipping the world we live in with
digita=
l
intelligent technologies. Individuals and collectives become players in
the
system - lifestyle or a subtle economy of control?
TESTING THE CULTURAL AFFAIR enquires about cultural orientation and
action
in a globally networked world - authenticity in the digital age or
multiple
consumerism?
PROBING CITIZENS WAKE introduces new so-called =ABgovernance=BB models.
They
stand for our hope of a self-determined constitution for
post-industrial,
knowledge-based societies - trans-national utopia or cleverly presented
self-interest?

Participants include: Piotr Cofta (Media Lab Europe Dublin/Trusting
Technologies), Sylvia Harvey (University of Lincoln/Faculty of Media and
Humanities), Dieter Lesage (Erasmusuniversit=E4t Br=FCssel/RITS) Anthony
Dunne
(Dunne & Raby, London), Brian Holmes (Multitude Paris), Michael
Kieslinger
(Fluidtime Wien/Interaction Institute IVREA Turin), Tiziana Traldi
(Future
Concept Lab Mailand/London), Greg Van Alstyne (Institute without
Boundaries=
,
Toronto), Omar Vulpinari (Benetton Fabbrica Interactive Treviso), and
other=
s

The GENERATIONS ON THE MOVE conference is organised in conjunction with
the
Swiss Federal Office of Culture's Sitemapping,ch initiative.
