subvergence project > the central city > STANZA
STANZA will present works from
>>> www.thecentralcity.co.uk
Continuing the search for the "soul of the city". The idea is to go
deeper into analogies for the organic identity of the city. Inner City
is an audio visual, interactive, internet art, experience. The micro
city becomes an organic networks of grids and diagrams.
>>> www.subvergence.net
The internet has become the the leading economic and artistic tool for
our age. Words like emergence are used to explain the propulsion of
these medias into our daily lives. Convergence is used to fuse the
meeting of medias onto the the paradigm of new technology. Subvergence
scrambles the cins of the internet.

CONSUME.NET > James Stevens
James Stevens of http://dek.spc.org, Deckspace, Greenwich (and
previously backspace) will talk about consume.net. Consume is a
nationwide initiative to construct user owned and operated, free
networks utilising wireless broadband technology that trip the local
loop out of the hands of the telecom monopoly and into open space. It's
an assertion of rights to self provide, propagate ideals of community,
counter commerce and consume the net.

PIRATETV.net > bongo
>From J18 to Radiohead … local heroine, bongo will give a retrospective
view on pirate tv's first four years …
http://www.piratetv.net was born out of the excitement of early London
pirate radio days, frustration with the dumbing down of legal stations
and the straightjacket of commercial television … a showcase for the
creation and display of quality zentertainment, free from the financial
and creative restraints of the industry …
It's about wanting things raw and fresh. Like a salad. Put simply
Piratetv.net is the place to visit for live audio/visual streams.
It's like passing a fiddle around the world …
