Micropolitics of the Post-Digital: From street protests to transitional spaces in Brazil

transmediale/festival 2014

Participants: Oliver Lerone Schultz, Marcus Bastos, Fabiane Borges, Lucas Bambozzi, Adriano Belisário Respondence: Karla Brunet Location: Haus der Kulturen der Welt, auditorium Time: Sun, 2.2. 12:00h - 14:00h

Insurgent political movements, techno-shamanism, and the formation of a sustainable networked society in the Brazilian political and cultural landscape Reflecting on a post-digital approach as a condition in which the utopian promise of the global technological progress is put under crisis, this panel investigates practices and projects of de-colonisation of corporate culture, as well as of the “digital” paradigm per se. 

By specifically focusing on hybrid and syncretic Brazilian contemporary political, cultural and economical scenarios, the post-digital condition highlighted in such context brings together a variety of practices that deal with transitional processes between online and offline existence, ecology of technical and non-technical resources, techno-shamanism from the junction between technology and practices of ancestral knowledge, insurgent political movements and the formation of a sustainable networked society. 

The panel proposes a multiple angle of analysis where technology becomes an open tool to imagine unpredictable connections in the everyday life from civil engagement to artistic and political activism, and to social change.
