paraflows 09 - festival for digital arts and cultures

The topic of the fourth festival for digital arts and cultures in the city
of Vienna is URBAN HACKING.

URBAN HACKING

The city of Vienna has a long tradition of art performances and
interventions in public spaces. This year’s festival paraflows09 would
like to connect these approaches to public and urban spaces while at the
same time comment on the roles of digital media by exploring, challenging,
and constructing urban infrastructure.

We are interested in projects that investigate the use of urban space for
performances, the hacking of and intervention with urban publics. How can
areas of freedom be created, discovered and be put to use? How do
regulated spaces work as opposed to the unsupervised? Whom does the
city/street/net and their infrastructure belong to? What role does
technology play in the urban space? How can social structures be designed
and remodelled? How can ‘urban hacking’ redefine urban space, make us
think about and live in it along different lines? To what extend can the
redefinition of public spaces help to manifest protest against the
establishment, advertisement, and consumerist societies?

The net, a public infrastructure with all its alcoves, possibilities and
mechanisms, has now also become an important instrument for society to
communicate. By adding hyper space into the equation internet has expanded
the public real spaces. How these parallel levels of reality organise
themselves and what freedom of movement they grant the individual person
is one of the issues of paraflows09 URBAN HACKING.
