///////////////////////////// WAVE Berlin Panel Discussion
Fluctuations
in the economy have become similar to global climate warnings : nobody
knows exactly what will happen tomorrow, or whether the future will be
bleak or bright. 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 ?

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. The interviews are conducted inside the WJ-S (webjay)
http://www.wj-s.org
multi-screen environment, transformed into a space for thought and
investigation. Live online browsing into a selection of emblematic
websites, chosen by the speakers, take place simultaneously on 3 big
screens. Real time surfing magnifies and augments thought presentation,
offering multiple points of view while the participants comment and
analyze, from an artistic perspective, how the Internet has been
progressively taken over as a space of artistic creation, from its
beginning until now.
