Activism and Accessibility of Technology

Kyd Campbell (CA)

East Europe, DIY, OpenSource, Networks and The TinyNoise

Presentation on Sunday 11 May, 16.00h, Panel on Activism and Accessibility of Technology.

tiny noise is based on a desire to connect like-minded artists on a local level while making them aware of the international context for their work and to share the knowledge that DIY options are available. Technically, the project depends on the local equipment and space resources, making use of the sound system and presentation locale that is available. The quality of these resources depends both on the actual availability and on the willingness for collaboration within the city hosting the tiny noise. This entire process of organization, curating and resource finding is done openly. Kyd Kampbell often use local IRC channels and mailing lists to find artists, space and equipment. She communicate to as many local cultural actors as possible and anyone else that might be able to help and hope to have their assistance in sourcing the necessary gear and in promoting the event.
