Electrosmog Festival
Posted: March 20th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Art, Design | Tags: amsterdam, conference, convention, culture, de balie, festival, internet, sustainable, urban | No Comments »The Electrosmog Festival, an international festival for sustainable immobility is happening all day today and now the conference is FREE. All talks and art showings are held at De Balie and all events are being streamed live online.
The ElectroSmog festival is a critique of the worldwide explosion of mobility, and an exploration of the new forms of connectedness with others offered to us by network and communication technologies.Our question is if these new forms of connectedness can help us to develop a viable new lifestyle less determined by speed and constant mobility, which is both ecologically and socially more sustainable.
