[Badgirlz-list] Art & media festival (Brussels)

> ++ Verbindingen/Jonctions 9++
> Art & media festival
> Brussels, Liège, Antwerp
> November 24 -28
> http://www.constantvzw.com/vj9
> -----------------------------
> Verbindingen/Jonctions 9 takes place from 24 until
28 November 2005
> between Brussels, Liège and Antwerp, and looks at
language, memory
and
> exchange. With this year's V/J9 we want to
contribute to a critical
> reading of the underlying structures and
applications of these
> fundamental elements of digital media, which are
often accepted as
> unchangeable entities. We consider language and
memory as instruments
> for sharing contents and free exchange of
information. We are curious
> about language and code as means to express
multiplicity; we want to
> find out how dialects, pidgin and slang act as
cultural bridges.
> We would like to take the words 'Jonctions' and
'Verbindingen'
> literally, and make connections between places and
languages in our
> own country. If we are crossing linguistic borders
between fellow
> citizens speaking Bruxellois, Walloon, English,
French, Dutch,
> West-Vlaams or Moroccan, we are also crossing
borders between fiction
> and a surrealist practice of language; as surrealist
as an exquisite
> corpse; language as a compilation of hybrid
constructions and
> deconstructions.
> A special V/J9 bus will transport us between Liège
(Musée des
> transports en commun), Brussels (Espace citoyen) and
Antwerp (Muhka -
> media). The bus is used as a festival location, with
some of the
> program taking place on board. Depending on the trip
and the
> destination, we have compiled a collection of video-
and audio
materials.
