Syndicate: Art Servers Unlimited, London 30June-4July'98


ART SERVERS UNLIMITED
A Conference and net.radio event by and about independent cultural
internet platforms from Europe.
London, 30st June to 4th of July 1998, ICA New Media Centre and
Backspace.


The event is structured into three parts: closed working meetings at
backspace, a public conference and a net.radio night at the ICA.

The goal is to look at different working models of art server projects,
reflect about different strategies and, if possible, draft a paper which
gives recommendations for cultural policy making to art funding bodies
and
raise awareness for topics such as public access and cultural content
providing, emphasizing notions of independent, self defined cultural and
artistic practice.

A number of art server projects from Central Europe and the UK have
already been contacted and confirmed their participation.

However, in the times of crumbling art servers (Adaweb, Internationale
Stadt Berlin, word and so on) and the instrumentalisation of culture by
governments for political and economical reasons (eg 'Cool Britannia') we
wanted to open up the event for more participants.

All who are actively involved in running ?art servers? - environments
that support a blend of creative, experimental, artistic, non-commercial
use of the net - or who are thinking about launching an initiative of this
kind are invited to participate.

To combine the talks focusing the framework and interrelationships with
actual advanced cultural net practice, a net.radio live event is going to
be staged with multiple live broadcasting from and to London involving
Budapest, Vienna, Lubljana, Riga, Rimini and other cities.


There is no budget to support travelling costs and accommodation of new
participants, but we will do our best in seeking additional
travel funds or getting visas if necessary. So please don't hesitate to
contact Manu [manu@sil.at] or Armin [armin@easynet.co.uk] if you wish to
participate or for any other further inquiries.
