October 26 -- 30

V2_ is currently organizing the exhibition /Hello Worlds/ for the 10th 
International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality in Basel, 
Switzerland. We selected four works out of 24 submissions for further 
improvement and production in V2_'s Lab. These four brand new 
productions will be presented in the exhibition together with eight 
installations that form highlights in the history of artistic research

*Test_Lab: /Who Wants To Be...?/ + Blowup: /Show Me The Money/ *
December 1+2, 2011, 20:00-23:00
V2_, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam

Test_Lab: /Who Wants to Be...?/ is a social experiment in the form of a 
raucous game show developed by art collective The People Speak. All 
visitors chip in 10 EUR in advance to enter the game, after which they 
brainstorm, argue, and vote on how to spend the collective money.

"..a hugely liberating and spontaneous night of audience autonomy." - 
The Guardian

The next day we continue with Blowup: /Show Me The Money/. What price 
tag do you put on priceless experiences and objects? Join us in a 
discussion getting to the root of notions of "value" and "culture" with 
cultural economist Diane Ragsdale, electrical scientist Saul Albert, and 
artist Christian Nold.

*50 Years of Dutch Media Art at STRP*
November 18 - 27, 2011
Eindhoven

The STRP festival, taking place this year for the fifth time in Philips' 
old Strijp-S building, is staging an exhibition devoted to half a 
century of media art in the Netherlands. We're proud of the role V2_ has 
played in that history since 1982, thanks to the input of countless 
artists and collectives. With seven installations on show at the popular 
festival V2_ can call itself an official purveyor of 50 years of media 
art in the Netherlands.
