Background
The 4th Radiator festival & symposium, “Exploits in the Wireless City”, aims to instigate discussion and debate based on the understanding that the development of digital networks are transforming our notion of (public and private) space.
 
In its critique, Radiator will question the opportunities, future strategies and implementations that artists and communities face when learning to act within these new hybrid city spaces.
 
Through its artistic interventions, Radiator will put theory into practice with projects and events that both position and challenge the dominant forces at work in the urban environment and explore the new territories opened up by hybrid space.
 
The Going Underground project, investigates this infrastructure by placing 5 artists into the urban confines of British cities: Glenn Davidson (Artstation) (UK), Folke Köbberling & Martin Kaltwasser (DE), Ian Nesbitt (UK), Christian Nold (UK), N55 (DK).  These artists will act as sleeper agents, observing and gathering information from a range of different sources including; architects, planning departments, city council offices, surveillance, monitoring centre’s and the Police to create new work in response to their research.
 
The Radiator festival and symposium is curated by Anette Schäfer & Miles Chalcraft from Trampoline. Trampoline has hosted and curated events in both Nottingham and Berlin since 1997.


// SYMPOSIUM: EXPLOITS IN THE WIRELESS CITY
15-16 January 2009

A two day event at Broadway Media Centre, Nottingham.
Bringing together artists with architects, urban theorists, computer scientists, sociologists and fellow citizens, the symposium will explore, question and play with a new urban landscape where the re-conceptualizing of the public sphere in the regeneration developments of the East Midlands mirror those around Europe.
