Bazzichelli’s hypothesis is that mutual interferences between art, hacktivism and the business of social networking have changed the meaning and contexts of political and technological criticism. Hackers and artists have been active agents in business innovation, while at the same time also undermining business. Artists and hackers use disruptive techniques of networking within the framework of social media, opening up a critical perspective towards business to generate unpredictable feedback and unexpected reactions; business enterprises apply disruption as a form of innovation to create new markets and network values, which are often just as unpredictable. Bazzichelli proposes the concept of the Art of Disrupting Business as a form of artistic practice within the business field of information technology." 11-21 (im)Possible Futures @Ghent/BE http://impossiblefutures.be/en/ "During (im)Possible Futures Vooruit and CAMPO, in collaboration with Ghent University , embark on a quest for the boundaries of imagination, removing blinders, thinking out of the box and turning jammers on or off.

Participants will gather to learn from and teach to each other, beyond the traditional paradigms of education. Free, Libre and Open Source Software plays a fundamental role at Relearn, as it facilitates a different approach to the tools we commonly use in our practices and lives. For instance, it can allow us to understand the influence that tools themselves exert on the way they are used, or the different social relations and economies that are formed between who creates and uses them. Such a questioning approach to technology feels urgent, in a time in which more and more social, political and personal issues are addressed by solely technological means.

At the heart of any art that can be called activist is a firm revolutionary belief in the possibility of societies reforming and improving. Behind its obvious involvement with present issues and concerns, activist art is always oriented to shaping an ameliorated future. This public role is not uncontested. The arts are (perpetually) under attack. A sense of crisis, moreover, is widely felt among contemporary artists and activists, who experience precarity, marginalization, and vulnerability on a daily basis and may put their bodies on the line. The idea of crisis, both in the arts and in society, has been widely articulated by scholars and critics. This interdisciplinary conference aims to create a space in which participants from scholarly, artistic and activist backgrounds can learn from and collaborate on a horizontal plane." 34c3 27-30 December @ Leipzig, Germany https://events.ccc.de/2017/05/13/chaos-communication-congress-zieht-nach-leipzig/ 2018(—) VERY INCOMPLETE January 2018 February 2018 3-4 FOSDEM @Brussels/BE https://fosdem.org/2018/ "FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.
