Building on the experience of practitioners, addressing the needs of cultural organisations across all sizes and covering opportunities for artistic development to operational areas of production, the authors have put a series of articles and research using the collaborative writing tool, a Wiki.

Tatiana Bazzichelli: Networked Disruption: Rethinking Oppositions in Art, Hacktivism and the Business of Social Networking (2011)

19 May 2012, dusan

“The objective of this research is to rethink the meaning of critical and oppositional practices in art, hacktivism and the business of social networking. The aim is to analyse hacker and artistic practices through business instead of in opposition to it. By identifying the emerging contradictions within the current economical and political framework of Web 2.0, my aim is to reflect on the status of activist and hacker practices as well as those of artists in the new generation of social media (or so called Web 2.0 technologies), analysing the interferences between networking participation and disruptive business innovation.” (author)

Constanze Kurz, Frank Rieger: Die Datenfresser (2011) [German]

3 May 2012, dusan

Der Wegweiser zur digitalen Mündigkeit.

Warum findet Facebook jeden meiner Bekannten? Auf welche Datenspuren hat der Staat Zugriff? Und was kann man aus ihnen herauslesen?

Die Experten für Informationssicherheit, Constanze Kurz und Frank Rieger, weisen uns den Weg zu einer neuen digitalen Mündigkeit. Sachkundig und verständlich erklären sie, was sich hinter den Benutzeroberflächen tatsächlich verbirgt. Aus dem Strom scheinbar harmloser Daten, die wir tagtäglich im Netz hinterlassen, werden geldwerte Informationen geschöpft, deren Ausmaß und Gehalt wir uns gar nicht vorstellen können. Ob der Staat oder Google, alle bedienen sich am Datensatz Mensch. Es ist an der Zeit, das eigene digitale Schicksal wieder selbst in die Hand zu nehmen.

Die Datenfresser: Wie Internetfirmen und Staat sich unsere persönlichen Daten einverleiben und wie wir die Kontrolle darüber zurückerlangen
