the right to make an online display which will be

TOPIC
-The topic of the competition is “Out of Control”
The searching process started by the ZEMOS98
group does not forget the lines already seen in
past editions about “Creation and collective
intelligence” and “Beyond TV”; moreover, these
subjects are streams of the same river, that of the critic reflection on Media.
The ZEMOS98 Festival has drawn a new line of
investigation in its particular work of cultural
management. We live in the society of media sham;
reality has been downgraded to channel-hopping or
oversized consumption of images. No more do we
live surrounded by images, but they live inside us.
We want to reveal the myth, to unmask the rite,
to demystify the media, to move the spectacular
upside down with the strategies of critic
thought, dropping equalization and celebrating
the collective right to be out of control. It
does not have to do with the old debate between
philo and technophobe: we just want to turn off in order to have more light.
Is it possible a cultural critique of the
controlled society? Avoiding to fall into
aesthetic virtuosity, we think that we have
something to tell from the audiovisual side.
ZEMOS98 ninth edition will try to understand and
propose that there is a possibility of being out
of control, that we are able to cover security
cameras with graffiti and to send e-mails about “poetry of the out-of-control”.
