Media Art in the Public Domain
Debates & Credits was a Russian / Dutch art and media project which has invited four artists and artist collectives from Russia and four from The Netherlands to develop interventionist (media-) art works for the public space.
The project happened in three stages:
Amsterdam, September 11 - 22
Yekaterinburg, September 26 - 29
Moscow, October 7 - 13
March 2003
Democracy can be understood in two notably distinct ways. In the institutional view democracy is understood as the interplay of institutional actors that represent 'the people' and are held accountable through the plebiscite; public votes, polls and occasionally referenda. The second view on democracy is radically different in that it sees the extent to which people can freely assemble, discuss and share ideas about vital social issues, organise themselves around these issues, and can freely voice their opinions in public fora, as a measure for just how democratic a given society is.
No one recognises these powers as their own
(Why Theory?) We have to dispense with the idea that theorising occurs
after the creative event; that a poem or a track or a text is made and
then, as part of its process of dissemination, there follows the
theorising of the piece. Such a theorising is normally attributed to
those known variously as critics, reviewers and essayists.
On March 22nd and 23rd 2013 the Institute of NetworkCultures will organize the event Unlike Us #3. The aim of Unlike Us is to establish a research network of artists, designers, scholars, activists and programmers who work on 'alternatives in social media'. Unlike Us was founded in July 2011. Through workshops, conferences, online dialogues and publications, Unlike Us intends to both analyze the economic and cultural aspects of dominant social media platforms and to propagate the further development and proliferation of alternative, decentralized social media software.
