Staring from 3rd November, a series of conferences will open the way for 
an engaging dialogue that takes as its starting point globalization and 
technological medialization, to then expand into other fields of 
inquiry, from political philosophy to economic sociology, shining a 
light, along the way, on the interaction between activism, society, new 
media and art.

Cops and robbers, the innocent and the guilty, legalitarians and 
subversives, law-abiding citizens and revolutionaries. The impression is 
that there is always somebody stealing something and somebody else on 
their pursuit, like in Cops & Robbers, but the good guys today are often 
on the wrong side of the law. Roles have become unclear, ideas all mixed up.

Even the guests of this year's Share Festival are in their own way 
robbers, in the form of counterfeiters, pranksters, culture jammers, 
interventionists, sign thieves, symbol makers, political agitators, and 
hacktivists, who take-over the digital dazibaos and surveillance 
cameras, hacking into civic information systems, claiming back the 
streets and inciting participation.

Here are their names: Suguru Goto, Nikolai Khalezin, Natalia Koliada, 
Action30, Janez Janša, Salvatore Iaconesi, Oriana Persico, Andrea 
Caccia, Giorgio Scianca, Steve Kurtz, Annette Wolfsberger, Dmitry 
Kleiner, Franca Formenti, Nadia Ranocchi, David Zamagni, Mariano 
Equizzi, Simone Arcagni, Francesco Bernabei, Joseph Grima, Paolo Cirio, 
Sander Veenhof, and Bruce Sterling.
