The instability of our position in today’s world leads to a constant disturbance of location. While exploring the very definitions of these locations, the panel will examine how our relationship with place is continuously shifting through the impact of new media and questioning how we can ‘conspirare’ with place, when we are mutually conspired against it.
Artists and curators will join together to present their relevant projects (Including that of Dislocate, Radiator/Trampoline and Urban Screens) and enter into a critical debate on the conspiracies of place.

In 2007 three artists collectively took on the name of the current Slovene Prime Minister Janez Janša. Both they and the equally enigmatic SilentCell Network engage the notion of conspiracy as acts of strategic and symbolic appropriation, where not only the media and the public at large are duped, but where a subtle trans-national reconfiguration of imagination and desire are aimed at.

Société Réaliste will present the 2008 collection of Transitioners, its political trends design bureau. This collection, Le Producteur, is inspired by major utopian thinkers of the early 19th century, including Fourier, Enfantin, Rodrigues, Cabet, Owen, and Saint-Simon. Critical in their roles as theoretical activists in determining how to improve industrial society and design it as a perfectly balanced and dynamic system, their work still nourishes our common political, social and economical representations. The stake of this intervention is to try to understand how utopian strategies are used today in order to pilot the social machine.

It seems that we are living in a time of tension in our cities. People are losing respect for property. This interactive performance-conferenceoffers crisis-struck governments, political parties and the powers that besolutions to pacify their citizens’ discontent, to clear up all misunderstandings and to stop citizens taking their rights into their own hands.
