PARLIAMENTS OF ART - 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 eu - 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"?
