Which Democracy in a post-political Age?
Dark Markets
We live today in a post-political age where dissent is increasingly taking the form of a total rejection of traditional democratic institutions. This can favor the growth of authoritarian movements. The only way to prevent such an outcome is the creation of a properly agonistic debate about possible alternatives to the existing hegemonic order. How could the new media contribute to such a project?

The Dark Side of the Multitude
The impossibility of representing the multitude, calls for a reflection on the inadequacy of the approach to the political as an autonomous realm of thought and action. We aim to look at how the limits of the current conception of democracy and representability operate within contemporary modes of political intervention and to explore the potential and unwritten power of forms of dissent, refusal and disobedience that escape capture in the prevailing politics of democracy, mediation and recognition.

A Virtual World is Possible: From Tactical Media to Digital Multitudes
Dark Markets
The presentation starts with the current strategy debates of the so-called "anti-globalisation movement", the biggest emerging political force for decades. In Part II Lovink and Schneider discuss strategies of critical new media culture in the post-speculative phase after dotcommania. Four phases of the global movement are becoming visible, all of which have distinct political, artistic and aesthetic qualities:
(a) The 90s and tactical media activism
(b) 99-01: The period of big mobilizations
(c) Confusion and resignation after 9/11
(d) Present challenge: liquidate the regressive third period of marginal moral protest

Dark Horses: The Theory of Free Cooperation and the Capability of the Net for Emancipation and Oppression
Dark Markets
The theory of free cooperation is an attempt to reconstruct left theory and practice, based on the critique and theoretical inputs by the new social movements of the last decades. It's an answer to the question: If we let go the belief in the "automatical" development of freedom and emancipation through economic progress, the belief in hierarchies, in superficial forms of "democratization" - what is left? How can we build up politics on that, and what does it look like? This will also give new perspectives on the Internet, its power structures and counter-power possibilities.

Market-ideology, Semiocapitalism and the digital Cognitariat
Dark Markets
With the rise of the New Economy a new virtual class was born: the cognitariat. Due to a split in the virtual class cognitive workers became the proletarians of the 90ies. The question of social identity after the dotcom-crash is obvious. Can the global movement against corporate capitalism since the days of the Seattle riots be seen as the global movement of self-organization of cognitive workers?

Whose Democracy? Information Flows, NGOs and the Predicament of Developing States
Dark Markets
Everyone likes to claim their organisations operate in ways that adhere to basic democratic principles. The complex of informational relations between African states, supranational entities, corporations, civilian populations and NGOs is defined by various scalar tensions that seriously undermine the constitutive dimensions of a democratic polity. Herein lies the logic of uneven modernities. This talk considers the paradoxical role played by NGOs in developing civic infrastructures, and suggests that greater focus needs to be placed by NGOs on securing intellectual property rights for developing states as the condition of political and economic sovereignty within informational and biotech economies.

The Russian Cultural Situation in the Age of Chechen War
Dark Markets
Russia is on a peak of globalization, and Moscow is a new mega polis. The city is constantly infused with investments. But, at the same time, stagnation of cultural activity is obvious. The same kind of stagnation hits the radical political life, there is strict division between private and public life style. Now Russia seems to lack any public opinion. But this new situation gave birth to numerous new forms of artistic and social activity.

Challenging the Emergence of 21st Century Global Surveillance Networks
World-InfoCon Brussels
We begin the 21st century with the emergence of quite extraordinary capabilities to monitor all transactions undertaken on our telecommunications highways, be they telephone, mobile, fax or email conversations. Two major global surveillance networks are of importance, namely (i) the NSA run Echelon system which is already in place and (ii) the EU-FBI surveillance system which is currently planned but not yet operational.

Lessons of the Kosovo Information War
World-InfoCon Brussels
In the year since the 1999 air campaign against Yugoslavia, Nato and its member governments have sought to learn from the experience of handling the media during the conflict. Assessing media performance during the war, this paper seeks to draw an alternative set of lessons, from the perspective that more informative, independent and objective reporting would be desirable.

FUTURE NON STOP
...is a semantically connected content repository, which contains documents on 15 years of new practices in art and media.Based on an extensive archive going back to 1994 the site collects materials that serve as important reference documents in the field of new media, politics, and art and makes them accessible to a wider public. Instead of a hierarchically structured archive an experimental navigation interface opens up new ways to explore large information nodes. Documents are associated by a range of tag that allow to filter relevance according to topics and issue relations. ASCR, short for Advanced Semantic Content Repository, is the open source information architecture and "editing back end" of Future Non Stop.
Future Non Stop is a project of:
Institute for New Culture Technologies/ t0.
