reSource 004: Networked Disruption

Tuesday, 26 March 2013, 20:00 - late
c-base (Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin, S/U Jannowitzbrücke)

reSource 004: Networked Disruption reflects on how the current 
techno-economic paradigm of Web 2.0 has challenged notions of art and 
hacktivism. Named after the just-published book by Tatiana Bazzichelli 
Networked Disruption: Rethinking Oppositions in Art, Hacktivism and the 
Business of Social Networking (DARC Press, 2013), the event discusses 
new strategies of political and social criticism, by reflecting on 
mutual interferences between art, hacktivism and business disruption.

Hackers, activists, artists, practitioners and theoreticians are invited 
to reflect with us on the current development of artistic and hacker 
practices in the context of social networking. How can hackers and 
artists be critical in the business context of social media? Is the 
business of social media co-opting DIY culture? Is criticism only 
possible through opposition? These are some of the questions we will 
share with the public during the panel.

By proposing the concept of disruptive business as an art practice, 
reSource 004: Networked Disruption becomes an opportunity to imagine new 
possible routes of social and political action. The event presents a 
constellation of social networking projects that challenge the notion of 
power and hegemony, from the earlier development of network culture to 
today.

We will reflect on the meaning of disruption today by connecting 
practices of networked art and hacking in California and Europe, such as 
mail art, Neoism, The Church of the SubGenius, Luther Blissett, 
Anonymous, Anna Adamolo, Les Liens Invisibles, the Telekommunisten 
collective, The San Francisco Suicide Club, The Cacophony Society, the 
early Burning Man Festival, the NoiseBridge hackerspace, and many others.

Networked Disruption is presented by Tatiana Bazzichelli (it/de), in 
conversation with Michael Dieter (au/nl), Alexander Müller/Hedonist 
International (de), and the public of c-base. Moderated by Kristoffer 
Gansing (se/de).

After the book presentation and discussion, the dj/vj/xj Podinski 
(XLterrestrials + CiTiZEN KiNO) will mix a culture jammer's 
"smorgasbord" of counterculture beats and hijacked eyecandy from the 90s 
and up to various post-9/11 situations. Expect un-soothing audio-visual 
chaos!
