Art Laboratory Berlin would like to invite you to the next monthly reSource meeting on Tuesday, 29 April at 18:30.

 

For those of you who haven't been to any meetings before: The monthly meetings began in Summer 2012, and present participants (artists, curators or anyone interested in the nexus of technology, media and culture) a chance to meet, discuss and organise. The meetings are based on the premise of building a community related to 'technology based arts' (in the broader sense) in Berlin. Visitors from outside Berlin are welcome as well.

 

Agenda:

1. Short intro to Art Laboratory Berlin and our current programme
2. A brief summary of the 'reSource network' and its history and participant introductions
3. How should reSource develop over the next year:
NEEDS GAPS DESIRES
• What NEEDS do participants (technology oriented artists, curators, and other) have that reSource can act upon? (among suggestions: actors with ideas but    no space; combined fundraising, PR, etc)
• What glaring GAPS are there in the Berlin scene? (among suggestions: deeper engagements in the social challenges we are facing to 1. survive, and survive as artists 2. be prepared for dealing w/ looming crises situations 3. AND change the operating systems that are driving the crises and unsustainability factors)
• What do you DESIRE from reSource (ie what potential could it realise?) (among suggestions: pioneer + experiment w/ alternative local-scale community forms; open up a channel + meeting space - a working group - which is seriously engaged w/ activist + "tactical arts"territory...)
4. What are some potential roles for the reSource mailing list and the TBABerlin.de* website. For example, there could be a magazine section on the website. Should they be curated/edited?

 

* For those interested there will be a meeting of the TBA working group at ALB at 5PM (before the general meeting). See below

5. We would like to introduce content/ forum section of the meeting (and suggest including one in future meetings?). Here we would discuss a theme.

 

Our topic this month: 'Curating Life Forms' Bioarts, New Media and Berlin dealing with both the problematics of bioarts and the relative lack of this genre in Berlin. We will start with a brief introduction by Desiree Foester and Christian de Lutz and open the talk up to the participants of the meeting
---------------------------------

Agenda for the TBABerlin.de working group meeting at 17:00

The meeting will start with a short introduction of the project for any newcomers. Then we will
1. focus on ideas for extending website content - possibly a magazine with 'editors' or curators' inviting writers in addition to (but not replacing) the current open form.
2. work on developing ideas for promoting the website to a larger public.
3. outside ideas are most welcome.
