Avant Garden / Trøndelag Centre of Contemporary Arts/ Bybroen Scene

Trondheim Matchmaking is arranged by Trondheim Electronic Arts  
Centre, TEKS, and is a meeting point to present innovative ideas and  
artistic projects, a place to share knowledge, make contacts and  
learn new skills and develop resources within new technology and  
electronic arts.
New art projects with a need for technology – new technologies with a  
need for substance: a place to bind together resources and competence  
within the field.

This year’s event has got a general theme of “Soft Freedom”. For the  
day program TEKS has invited senior researcher Alan J. Munro,  
Glasgow/ Trondheim, Dep. of computer and information science, NTNU,  
as co-curator and first speaker:

It’s a hundred years since Norway became a nation and 30 years into a  
communications revolution and we are reflecting on just what it means  
to be a citizen in these times. We are free to use open source  
software, free to communicate with people and access information  
across the world. But new technologies offer abilities to track and  
surveil, which may radically change, or extinguish, basic privacies.  
In terms of the world around us, intelligence may make the world  
around us ‘soft’, even architecture becoming responsive and  
manipulable. What is it to live in this world?
