Networks of Imagination
Strategies for Basic Rights and Open Networks



On June 20/ 21 2005, World-Information.Org will address questions of transformations of urban information landscapes in a two-day international conference at Architekturzentrum Wien, Vienna. Current practices, strategies, and interventions of informational agents will be discussed under the heading "Networks of Imagination. Global Information Landscapes and Urban Transformations in Asia". The event includes lectures, presentations, and video screenings.

According to World-Information.Org Director Konrad Becker, "Networks of Imagination is an important step within the EU-India-programme 'Towards a Culture of Open Networks', which forms the framework of a conference and exhibition to be held in Bangalore, India, in November 2005." Addressing a large local public, the event brings together European and Asian representatives from the fields of culture and information economy, in addition to the project’s international partner organisations. Netbase forms a network with Waag Society (Amsterdam, NL) und Sarai/CSDS (Delhi,IN).

"We are pleased about this opportunity to discuss important issues such as Open Source Civil Rights, the public sphere, and free software here in Vienna, adopting a non-European perspective." The culture project World-Information.Org was first presented under the patronage of UNESCO as part of the European Culture Capital 2000 at Brussels, and has subsequently been shown at Amsterdam, Beograd, Novi Sad, London, Berlin, Munich, and Helsinki. "The objective of this event at Architekturzentrum Wien is to exchange global strategies for the protection of basic digital rights and democratic network societies, with a particular focus on issues of urban development", Becker concluded.
