On-line and in-person forum which will study the role of networks, their working
dynamics and their link to an ecosystem 2.0 in the context of the production of arts
practices. We will analyse these practices, as well as the structures and dynamics
special to the so-called Web 2.0 from different philosophical, social, political,
biological, physical, economics y ecosystem viewpoints.
The Forum has two parts, one consisting of virtual work and the other of a face-toface
workshop with the aim of implementing ideas related to concepts discussed
during the seminar. The proposals will be defined and selected by the seminar
participants and developed over the course of one week in Arteleku.
Description:
In recent years the concept of networks has taken on special relevance in that it is
used to explain new social relationships, the free distribution of information via the
web, organisational structures of human groups, whether hackers, fans, activists,
or even resistance groups, and virus transmission at both a biological and
computer level.
In the artistic field, networks have been incorporated as a means of production and
publication for some time. That they became incorporated was principally due to
the effective establishment of the Internet and the working methods deriving from
it. But this incorporation should bring with it a transversal reflection regarding the
potentialities, limitations and political implications of the use of networks. The aim
of this forum is to study, from different perspectives, the various theories on
networks, establishing parallels, similarities and differences, areas of confluence or
disruption that may contribute towards clarifying the different processes associated
with them.
