V/J12
BY DATA WE MEAN
Festival Verbindingen/Jonctions
Brussels, 21 --> 29 november 2009
http://www.constantvzw.com/vj12
*
Verbindingen/Jonctions (V/J) is the bi-annual multi-disciplinary
festival
organised by Constant. V/J combines high-, low-, and no-tech strategies
with utopian, contemporary, traditional and tribal cultures with open
standards, free licenses, feminism and queer theory.
*
The 12th edition of the festival proposes three threads:
Shades of Grey Literature__ an invitation to discover, play and worry
about the numerous documents, commentaries and traces which organise
electronic communication in the background (licenses, specifications,
terms of use, guidelines, standards etc.). #
The life and nature of data__ an exploration of the question: What is
data? Every electronic transaction leaves a trace of rough data. But what
is rough for one person can be familiar for another. Depending on the
filtering mechanism, one sort of data can be used for different purposes.
V/J12 touches upon this theme through physical performances, statistical
manipulation and mental exercises. #
Performative Instructions__ looking at codes and norms that put
themselves
or others in motion. How do users and developers exchange information?
How
do they deal with subjects such as resposability, authority and hierarchy
in the midst of chains of instructions, being shaped by manuals, recipes,
forms and other methods. #
