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”.
