Uncertainty seems to become the only certain rule. Throughout the early 20th century, art was the forerunner of social, political and technological upheaval. Art at the time foresees (but not always understands) in advance what would happen. Now, artistic activity seems too be carried away by the whirlwind of uncertainty. The democratic ideal has never seemed so fragile. To a very large extend, it remains to be a total utopia. The modesty of political ambitions, the widespread practice of mafia, the rise of nationalist and religious sect, continuation of poverty, distraught middle-class, all these elements are destroying day after day the ideals of brotherhood, equality, and liberty. Modern communication technology and the digital economy have overwhelmed all social practices, either cultural or economical but we still have great difficulty understanding the reality. We still continue to struggle with positive outlook and engage in critical changes into the future. In this context, it is possible to imagine new relationships between money, politics, and artistic creation ? How will we identify new approaches, especially critical approaches in a time of crisis ? >>>> Panelists : I-Wei Li - multi-media artist, curator, artistic director of SideBySide Studio Christine Kriegerowski - artist, working with drawing, digital drawing and photography Claudia Burbaum - art historian and freelance curator r Ela Kagel - program curator of Transmediale, initiator of the Free Culture Incubator Matthias Reichelt - cultural journalist, curator and editor Tonia Welter - co-funder and director of betahaus Arthur Engelbert - ae prof. dr. habil., theory and practice of media and contemporary art Heather Corcoran - Curator at FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) ///////////////////////////// WJ-SPOTS Berlin - 10 PM to midnight Anne Roquigny, French media arts curator http://www.roquigny.info will follow her series of interviews, in Berlin, of outstanding figures of the internet community who share their reflections of 15 years of Internet history.
