node London march'06

“Media arts are popularly held to be difficult, or even impossible, to exhibit. This is not due to a lack of good work, venues or audiences - quite the opposite - but art of such an interactive, ephemeral, temporal, hybrid and often radical nature inevitably defies the easy contextualisation offered by conventional curation.

NODE.London (Networked, Open, Distributed, Events in London) has sought to fortify existing media arts networks, encourage the production of experimental media arts within a London-based framework and assist in the articulation of such artistry to a wider audience.

NODE.London does not just provide temporary respite, but is concerned with cultivating continued creativity. The contextual reader entitled Media Mutandis: a NODE.London Reader situates NODE.London’s activity in a wider discourse of media theory, culture, technology, politics and praxis. And the NODE.London network of people and projects continues to expand exponentially.

Welcome to the first collective presentation of London-wide media arts activity...”

sul libro ::: ELOGIO DELLA PIRATERIA Edizioni "I Libri di Terre di Mezzo" :
visita il sito web Chi sono i pirati? Gli "eroi" come il Corsaro Nero per cui facevamo il tifo da piccoli, oppure soggetti che -ci dicono da grandi- sono sovversivi perché condividono musica e software? Questo libro racconta dieci storie di "eretici postmoderni" che si oppongono al dio-profitto: dai pirati dell'etere agli hacker americani da cui è nato l'open source, dai pirati della salute contro i brevetti sui farmaci ai writer urbani: dieci pratiche per salvare la nostra cultura da una precoce morte celebrale.


sull'autore ::: *Carlo Gubitosa, giornalista, è autore di Telematica per la pace, L'informazione alternativa, Genova nome per nome e Viaggio in Cecenia. Collabora con Peacelink, associazione di volontariato dell'informazione.
