REAL AND IMAGINARY BLACK CHAMBERS. A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO INVISIBILITY, PARANOIA, SURVEILLANCE AND THE INTERNET presentation by Bani Brusadin @ MINE YOURS OURS 2016: SURVEILLANCE Bani Brusadin is an independent curator and a researcher sailing on the troubled waters where contemporary art, networked technologies, popular cultures, and politics meet, and often times clash. Since 2004, together with Eva & Franco Mattes, he co-directs The Influencers, a festival about unconventional forms of art and communication held at the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona. In the past he has been involved in different art and activist projects, among them Las Agencias and Yomango (2002-2007). Bani currently teaches about digital cultures and social change at the University of Barcelona. He is also a faculty member at the Elisava Design School and a lecturer at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and at IED (European Institute of Design) in Barcelona. The Black Chamber exhibition project, presented at MINE YOURS OURS 2016, is the starting point for a discussion of the delicate and often awkward role of art in the age of mass surveillance, stressing the multiple connections between post-studio art and independent research, grassroots reverse engineering, and new forms of political activism. theinfluencers.org/ drugo-more.hr/wordpress/en/2016/03/31/mine-yours-ours-surveillance/ ---------- Production: Drugo more, Aksioma – Zavod za sodobne umetnosti (Ljubljana) Coproduction: d-i-n-a/The Influencers (Barcelona), MMSU Rijeka Camera & video editing: Filmaktiv Supported by: European Commission program Creative Europe, Kultura nova Foundation, Croatian Government Office for Cooperation with NGO’s, Ministry of culture of the Republic of Croatia, City of Rijeka – Department for culture Program is realized as part of Masters & Servers a joint project by Aksioma (SI), Drugo more (HR), AND (UK), Link Art Centre (IT) i d-i-n/The Influencers (ES).
