[spectre] REMINDER: Funware Conference 27 Nov, Baltan Laboratories, Eindhoven (NL)

[Annette Wolfsberger]

REMINDER:
FUNWARE CONFERENCE
during STRP
Saturday 27 November 2010
10:00-15:30 hrs at Baltan Laboratories, Eindhoven (NL)

Speakers: Wendy Chun, Matthew Fuller, Andrew Goffey, Wilfried Hou Je  
Bek, Adrian Mackenzie, Michael Murtaugh and Simon Yuill.
Introduction & moderation: Olga Goriunova

Contrary to the belief that software is a very serious issue, a  
battlefield of big business interest and freedom fighters, and a field  
guided by rationality and formalisation, it is actually an area of  
practice and thinking that often advances through random acts, absurd  
use, jokes and curiosity.
International speakers will argue that art, and in particular software  
art, can play a crucial role in the production of the world,  
undermining the seeming solidity of the infrastructural backbone of  
our society and opening it up for intervention and reinvention. The  
symposium will also explore the issue of fun and the potential of the  
humour in software art. What is humour after all? It is in fact an  
artistic and critical attitude to reality?
