Open Space: Time's Up

Sat 31.01.2009 - 15:30
Talk

Time's Up has been developing large scale interactive situations since 1996 with a tendency towards large steel and pneumatic devices. 'Luminous Green' is a series of workshops that explores the possibilities of living well and sustainably in the world. In this short presentation Time's Up will explain some of the points that were of importance in the workshop: local actions, utilising regional assets, in our case industrial waste and the body of water, social organisation, 're-importing' developing world technologies to 'the west', and many others.

salon tm.09 - The Digital Greenhouse

The Digital Greenhouse is the transmediale.09 salon for strategic artistic, performative and net-based discourse. Bringing together artists, cultural activists, hackers and a cosmopolitan array of thinkers and makers, the salon seeks to address the cultural 'raison d'etre' beyond the daily headlines of climate change rhetoric. How does digital art and culture maneuver across political and societal boundaries between 'our' North and an emergent, less 'silent' and deep South to create new voices and strong cultural networks? With the irreversible global transformations we face, the Digital Greenhouse becomes a training camp for the cultural revolution essential in creating new tools and methods of agency and dialogue.

In cooperation with Heinrich Böll Stiftung

The Silent Deep

Fri 30 Jan, Digital Greenhouse

The increase in speed with which we explore the limited resources that fuel both economy and lifestyle, shows not only the dimension of our dependency but also reveals one consistency – a new global race for the remaining resources. Developing nations and regions, until recently 'zones of silence' in our collective memory, will now become the stage for our dependency. What will the cultural impact of climate change look like in  developing nations? How could a critical artistic practice broach this issue? And how could it create new contexts and possibilities for a sustainable development?

Re-hacking your World

Thur 29 Jan, Digital Greenhouse

Re-hacking your World examines issues of crisis and possibility by intervening in the relationships between environment, industry and culture. Has our cultural hardware and software become useless and unserviceable faced with the complex challenges that confront us? In order to prevent a complete takeover of commercial interests in the development of digital cultures in Africa, Asia and Latin America, it becomes essential to promote and strengthen the vocabulary of open source systems and develop fair use mechanisms.
