[spectre] SPOTLIGHT ON... CONFERENCES | Share Festival | Cops & Robbers

[Simona Lodi]

Dear Spectres,
(sorry for any cross-posting)

here's a sneak preview of the conference programme, which will be 
bringing together leading international artists, designer, thinkers and 
storytellers.

Giorgio Scianca
Architects' BOOK: Fictional architects in cinema
Friday 4th November - 5.00 pm – Regional Museum of Natural Science
Scianca has created the biggest database ever of movie clips focused on 
architecture and the figure of the architect—starting from the 
consideration that one hundred years of cinema as a global medium means 
one hundred years of the architect as a modern figure.

Steve Kurtz
Art & Discipline
Friday 4th November - 6.00 pm - Regional Museum of Natural Science
Steve Kurtz is a founder of the Critical Art Ensemble. Renowned 
internationally for its scientific critique and counter-information 
activities, this historic American group is a collective of artists and 
scientists focused on the exploration of the intersections of art, 
biotechnology and activism, through performances, live experiments and 
non-violent sabotage. Steve Kurtz, wrongly arrested for bioterrorism in 
the United States in 2004, has become a symbol of political art 
activism. In partnership with the Parco d'Arte Vivente.

Joseph Grima | Enzo Lavolta | Simone Arcagni | Moderated by Simona Lodi
Architecture, Communications & New Media
Sunday 6th November - 4.00 pm - Regional Museum of Natural Science
The Internet, participation, urban screens and media-architecture are 
transforming the town into an informational city and media city. A 
debate on how architecture and urban planning are changing approach and 
seeking new models in design, planning and construction. Social 
networks, wi-fi spots, urban screens, portable media, locative media... 
the contemporary metropolis is criss-crossed with interconnected 
communication flows. With all this actively mapped, the citizen is a 
user able to observe and participate, but also a user that is observed 
at the same time.

Bruce Sterling
 From Net.Art to Tech Art, and what comes next
Sunday 6th November - 6.00 pm - Regional Museum of Natural Science
The best way to understand the future is to look twice as far into the 
past. Fifteen years ago, "net.art" was created to name a distinctly new 
form of art that used the Internet as its creative platform. Nowadays 
half the world's population is on the World Wide Web, and people have 
begun to speak of the "Legacy Internet" as an old-fashioned business. 
The novelty of the Internet as an art platform has gone away. New 
net-based institutions have sprung up: crowdsourcing, Processing 
software, Arduino controller boards, fabricators, and a maker-culture 
that shares its algorithms.
What is likely to happen in the next seven years?
