Progressive and Decentralized Strategies for common wealth, Open Modes Graz

In the triangle of the terms security, control and performance, software artist and programmer Jaromil will explore zones of control that emerged due to the ubiquitous presence of digital media in our daily lives as possible spaces for performance. Together with the workshop participants he will look into progressive and decentralized strategies in digital and networked spaces and strengthen the knowledge about how to integrate an autonomous understanding of the tools surrounding us into contemporary artistic practices. The workshop is directed towards art practicioners.

“Social sculpture and participation in the digital age as a form of participatory art, the same way we talk of participatory democracy and why tools and licensing of them matters just as ownership of production means.”
