We have a situation! is a series of live, trans-border, online-offline 
participatory performances addressing current cross-cultural European 
issues and concerns. Between March and May 2013 four "situations" will 
be created in four countries - France, Netherlands, UK and Austria. For 
the London Situation the focus will be on electronic waste.

What is We Have A Situation! going to be in London?

A 4 day workshop exploring the problem of e-waste and the creative 
potential of digital and online technologies, culminating in a networked 
event on Saturday 23 March for a local and online audience. The event 
will be streamed live through the UpStage platform with an online 
discussion about e-waste between Furtherfield Gallery and kunstGarten 
Graz (AT) at the end of the event.
