From November 3rd until 11th 2008 the third biennal festival HAIP 08
will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia. HAIP is International
Multimedia Festival of Open Technologies and is organized by Zavod
K6/4 - open multimedia center Kiberpipa from Ljubljana.
The HAIP Festival puts on display multimedia art forms resulting from creative use of open technologies. HAIP is an acronym that stands for
"Hack-Act-Interact-Progress". The festival features individuals and groups with a critical approach towards the technologies that surround us and shape our everyday environment. They generally use open technologies, either as a practical or an ideological choice. Modern practices of technology and creativity often refer to diverse possibilities and choices at the individual's disposal - everybody is involved in the social progress and development. And if we take a moment to reflect on what we eat, how we communicate, who dictates how we connect, interact, protest, and participate, we quickly realize that it's our turn.
The main line of presentation will focus on new art of free digital media - and the new media content that enabled it in the first place -
while laying special emphasis on technical and legal aspects of new digital media with free access. The topic was selected with regards to the current time of political involvement in the changes of national strategies regarding the digitalization of mass media and the significant political, contentual and creative consequences thereof.
Festival will take place on several locations in Ljubljana featuring exhibitions and installations, performances, public space interventions in the centre of Ljubljana, lectures, club night and round table.
HAIP 08 will host over 40 artists on international level in cooperation with following partners:
- Radio FRO (Linz) - http://www.fro.at/
- Time's Up (Linz) - http://www.timesup.org/
- Ciant (Praga) - http://www.ciant.cz/
- Monochrom (sedeÅ≤ na Dunaju) - http://www.monochrom.at/
Entrance is free for all festival events except the club night at Club
K4.
