19 Sep '08

Am 20. September 2008, ab 20 Uhr feiert die Wiener Fellowship Gruppe der Free Software Foundation Europe den alljährlichen "Software Freedom Day" im Pint Pub (Stroheckgasse 6, 1090 Wien). Höhepunkt der Feierlichkeiten sind die Auftritte der beiden Bands: "Club Valat" <http://www.myspace.com/clubvalat> und "Klaus (Fadin' to Whiteout <http://www.fadintowhiteout.com>)" Die Veranstaltung richtet sich natürlich nicht nur an Computerfreaks: Computerprogramme (Software) sind ein zentraler Bestandteil unseres Alltags geworden, egal ob beim Surfen im Internet, Telefonieren mit dem Handy oder beim gemütlichen DVD-Abend. Welche Freiheiten wir im Umgang mit diesen Technologien haben, was wir tun oder nicht tun "dürfen", hat für jeden von uns Konsequenzen, auch wenn diese nicht immer unmittelbar spürbar sind. Die FSFE setzt sich für den Erhalt und Ausbau unserer Freiheiten im digitalen Raum ein. Komm zum Konzert und setz' ein Zeichen, dass auch Dir diese Freiheiten am Herzen liegen!

Time Travel On 8 Bits A Day - Jason Scott - Paraflows 2008 @ metalab
by das ende der nahrungskette 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Paraflows 2008 and Dorkbot Vienna present: -- Time Travel On 8 Bits A Day -- Jason Scott Computer History, once a somewhat strange idea, has now taken the world by storm; a magazine or newsletter merely has to dip their ladle into the piles of nostalgia and older images of computing technology to guarantee readership, commentary and links. But what is it like to live in this just-past world of unusual keyboards, cartridge slots and 256 colors? Jason Scott describes the process by which he became a collect of online artifacts, the strange twists and turns his journey has taken (both legal and financial) and the lessons he has learned towards the goal of "saving everything". Jason Scott is a digital historian and documentary filmmaker based out of the Northeastern US, focusing on bulletin board system culture of the 1970s and 1980s. He often finds himself well outside of that realm and has collected many archives of general computer and software history, which he makes available on various parts of his online archive, TEXTFILES.COM. - When: Thursday, September 18 2008, 8:30 PM - Where: Metalab, Rathausstrasse 6, 1010 Vienna http://www.metalab.at/ http://www.paraflows.at

A Personal Journey Towards Datameaningfulness - Paraflows 2008 @ metalab
by das ende der nahrungskette 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Paraflows 2008 @ metalab / Vienna -- A Personal Journey Towards Datameaningfulness -- Rachel Lovinger Everything you could possibly want is out there, and soon it will all be digitized. The problem isn't whether it exists, it's how you find it. This is the challenge that has plagued the speaker and motivated her to pursue an ambiguous occupation called "Content Strategy." Her idealized vision of the future of the Internet is the Semantic Web, with its promise of smarter sites that actually understand what content means. In an attempt to answer the question "How did you become interested in datameaningfulness?" Rachel will take a very personal look at the formation of that dream, exposing the cultural, environmental, and historic factors that put her on this path. Rachel Lovinger works at Avenue A | Razorfish as a Senior Content Strategist, developing ways for global clients to help connect users to the quality content they want and need. She's particularly interested in relevance, findability, signification, and inherently funny words. - When: Thursday, September 18 2008, 7:30 PM - Where: Metalab, Rathausstrasse 6, 1010 Vienna http://www.metalab.at/ http://www.paraflows.at

Trevor Paglen's Blank Spots on the Map @ Paraflows 2008 - Metalab

"Blank Spots on the Map" Trevor Paglen Paraflows 2008 @ Metalab When: Monday, September 15 2008, 8:00 PM Where: Metalab, Rathausstrasse 6, 1010 Vienna Geographer and artist Trevor Paglen takes us on a road trip through the world of hidden budgets, state secrets, covert military bases, and disappeared people: through a landscape that military and intelligence insiders call the "black world." Over the course of his talk, Paglen leads us from "non-existent" Air Force and CIA installations in the Nevada desert to secret prisons in Afghanistan and to a collection of even more obscure "black sites" startlingly close to home. Using hundreds of images he has produced and collected over the course of his work, Paglen shows how the black world's internal contradictions give rise to a peculiar visual, aesthetic, and epistemological grammar with which to think about the contemporary moment. ----- Trevor Paglen is an artist, writer, and experimental geographer working out of the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. His work involves deliberately blurring the lines between social science, contemporary art, and a host of even more obscure disciplines to construct unfamiliar, yet meticulously researched ways to interpret the world around us. Paglen has received grants and commissions from Rhizome.org, the LEF Foundation, Artadia, and the Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology. In 2005, he was a Vectors Journal Fellow at the University of Southern California. Paglen's first book, Torture Taxi: On the Trail of the CIA's Rendition Flights (co-authored with AC Thompson; Melville House, 2006) was the first book to systematically describe the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program. His second book, I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to be Destroyed by Me (Melville House, 2007) an examination of the visual culture of "black" military programs, was published in November 2007. His third book, entitled Blank Spots on a Map, will be published by Dutton/NAL/Penguin in February 2009. Paglen holds a B.A. from UC Berkeley, an M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a Ph.D. in Geography from UC Berkeley. Paglen lives and works in Berkeley, CA. ----- ---> http://fm4.orf.at/grenzfurthner/223994/main ---> http://www.paraflows.at ---> http://www.paglen.com/
