SUMMARY:a’21: techno utopia x post-digital ignorance___10 March - 18 May\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:► a’21: techno utopia x post-digital ignorance \n► 10 MARCH - 18 MAY\, 2021 \n:: EXHIBITIONS :: PERFORMANCES :: TALKS\, WORKSHOPS & LECTURES :: & MORE :: ABOUT a’21 FESTIVAL :: \nThe past few decades have witnessed a tremendous proliferation of digital technology. References to a techno-utopia where knowledge would be available to each and all seemed to signal the possibility of positive social and cultural change while acknowledging a fundamental flaw. Digital technologies’ commitment to making knowledge accessible to all would supposedly produce a universal benefit and wellbeing which was partly realised but digital technologies did in no way result in a techno-utopia. It has become apparent that besides letting vast amounts of knowledge accessible to ever more people\, digital technologies are also powerful tools producing a peculiar kind of public ignorance\, one that seems to proliferate amidst ever multiplying information and knowledge available in today’s digitalised environment. With a’21 Festival - Post Digital Ignorance x Techno Utopia\, we aim to challenge the status quo while centring perspectives on non-human life\, queer ecology\, decolonising knowledge\, forced displacement\, and more. :: 69+ artists\, scientists and activists in 16 countries #SWANA #AFRICA #EUROPE #ASIA \n:: 13 extraordinary creatives radically collaborating within an intensive laboratory :: \nHosting hosting more than 50 events: incl. performances\, workshops\, panels\, sounds\, lectures\, exhibitions and screenings \n:: PROGRAMME 2021 ::  \nw/ amberPlatform (Turkey)\, 16 March - 18 April w/ Kounaktif (Morocco)\, 17 - 21 March w/ Sharhaban (Lebanon)\, 22 - 25 March w/ BAAB Collective (Sudan) 1 April - 15 May w/ Darağaç (Turkey)\, 2 April - 26 March w/ DAHproject (Iran)\, 3 April - 7 May  \n#NewMedia #QueerEcology #ForcedDisplacement #FutureDesign \n// Produced by: Oyoun in collaboration with amberPlatform \n// Curatorial Team: Amirali Ghasemi\, Ali Cem Doğan\, Cenkhan Aksoy\, Christoph Wachter\, Ebru Yetişkin\, Ekmel Ertan\, Hamza Chamas\, Mathias Jud\, Milad Forouzandeh\, Mohsen Hazrat\, Nina Martin\, Rajaa Shamam\, Youssef El Idrissi \n// Participants include: Eda Sütunç\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Mary Maggic\, Rachel Uwa\, Renata Salecl\, Seloua Luste Boulbina\, Pelin Tan\, Yara Mekawei\, and many more. \n// Funded by: Capital Cultural Fund/ Berlin's Hauptstadtkulturfond

SUMMARY:a'21: Absorbing Ignorance: Experiential Illusions_amberPlatform
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Absorbing Ignorance: Experiential Illusions_amberPlatform \nWhile chronologically reviewing the relationship of the moving image with the observer and the way cinematic editing manages mass perception as an art of creating reality\, we will examine the concept of Immersion as the purpose of breaking away from existence. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nBut man is the most ignorant in moments in which he trusts himself the most.'' - Ape and Essence\, Aldous Huxley In these short video essays that explore the virtual plane of reality and the realism of virtuality through today's popular culture that evolved from myths\, tales and legends\, we will investigate the history of our gaze now lost in the hypnotic flow of a kind of ignorance glorified under the name of knowledge. While chronologically reviewing the relationship of the moving image with the observer and the way cinematic editing manages mass perception as an art of creating reality\, we will examine the concept of Immersion as the purpose of breaking away from existence. We will touch upon the physical impact of developing ""absorbing"" technologies on the masses\, its relationship with ancient practices such as meditation and hypnosis\, and our main motivations behind our ""Suspension of Disbelief"" processes. Our biggest misconception about ""New Media” - which are the new versions of old formations that have been constructed several times and updated with modern technologies - is perhaps that they are new. By referring to early examples in history and questioning the physicality created by the transformation of Cinematic Technologies\, we will look at concepts such as New\, Media\, Virtual\, Reality from a different perspective. As we discover our efforts to create a seamless illusion of reality\, and therefore the story of the term Virtual Reality dating back to the dawn of our civilisation\, we will approach the narrative-based functioning of human perception - which is at the origin of all these mechanisms - on the basis of the concept of mental fiction. As the ever-growing world of experiential delusions draws us in\, are we also being drawn into our own selves? Is the current form of reality subjective or collective? Or is it time for us to re-define reality all over again? \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n►Lara Kamhi  \nWebsite\nInstagram\nFacebook   \n* This event is part of Oyoun's a’21 Festival - Post Digital Ignorance x Techno Utopia aiming to challenge the status quo while centering perspectives on non-human life\, queer ecology\, decolonising knowledge\, forced displacement\, and more.The project was financed by Berlin’s Hauptstadtkulturfonds. \nProduced by: Oyoun in collaboration with amberPlatform \nCuratorial Team: Amirali Ghasemi\, Ali Cem Doğan\, Cenkhan Aksoy\, Christoph Wachter\, Ebru Yetişkin\, Ekmel Ertan\, Hamza Chamas\, Mathias Jud\, Milad Forouzandeh\, Mohsen Hazrat\, Nina Martin\, Rajaa Shamam\, Youssef El Idrissi Participants include: Eda Sütunç\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Mary Maggic\, Rachel Uwa\, Renata Salecl\, Seloua Luste Boulbina\, Pelin Tan\, Yara Mekawei\, and many more. \nFunded by: Capital Cultural Fund \n► For media and press inquiries\, please email hallo@oyoun.de
