SPRINTOSIUM 05

International symposium and Festival for self-organised cultural forms on the occasion of the start up of the new Viennese support model for net cultures.

SPRINTOSIUM PROGRAMME: 11-13. December 05 (11. 18:00 - 24:00; 12., 13., 10:00 - 24:00)--The central piece of the new Viennese support model for net cultures starting 2006 is the yearly grant of 250 000 ? - with the help of a software based assessment process.

The goal of the symposium Parliaments of Art is to work out the conceptual basis of this new democratic project. "Parliaments of Art" will deal with the material as well as the symbolic dimension of the "art of networking" and the production of new collaborative knwoledge - ideas, images, emotions and relationships.

The software based curator system Mana offers the collective and individual enviroment of action. How is the thinking and doing provided by such a matrix? What as defined as action, what is visible, what is affective? Who or what should be defined as being active? Is it possible to have such a "Parliament of Art"?
