A workshop on new approaches to the practice of producing and exchanging knowledge
Description
Information must be understood dynamically and in a positive framework in order for it to work as open source and thus turn into “actual productive knowledge”. The terms copyright and hacking, to the contrary, contain implications of both of power and aggression. New approaches must look for practices that can offer more convincing and integrating activities in terms of volume and dynamics.
The workshop will start with an input about the position above with examples from art and education and then discussions along the keywords: tracking, transparency, exchange. Instead of thinking about new approaches as a tabula rasa making space for a new approach we need to look for actively engaging and inclusive forms of sharing and communication. These modes lean on to practical philosophy and to an understanding of practice and the responsibility of the individual in a civic society.
