ÂART UNDER MASS SURVEILLANCE 1. Workshop with Danja Vasiliev & Julian Oliver & Talk 2. Book Launch ÂDelivery for Mr. Assange 3. Conversation between Julian Assange & !Mediengruppe Bitnik Saturday, March 8 2014 Helmhaus ZÃrich, Limmatquai 31, 8001 ZÃrich ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Dear People under Mass Surveillance How does the NSA spying scandal affect us as artists? What is the role of art and artists after the revelations of Edward Snowden? The digital has moved from the margins and has become central to every day life. Can art be a means to critically reflect on the possibilities and the implications of the digital? Have new technologies become a means exclusively to service power and surveillance? Or can they be made to service protest and resistance? Together with artists Julian Oliver and Danja Vasiliev and WikiLeaks-founder Julian Assange, we will explore questions around art, free internet and surveillance. ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ 1.
