'Art after Space': n.e.w.s. and Khoj exchange

Last year n.e.w.s. (http://northeastwestsouth.net) and Khoj (http://khojworkshop.org/) organised a public lecture and a series of internal group collaborative meetings in order to brainstorm about the issue of ‘Art After Space’. n.e.w.s. is a collective online platform for the analysis and development of art-related activity, bringing together different voices, accents and outlooks from North, East, West and South.

n.e.w.s. @ C.I.S. for 'Experimental Economy Camp cont'd'

Imagining “new social and economic contexts for art” Experimental Economy Camp cont'd at CIS in Bangalore, India will combine a hackathon, inviting more local people to get involved, with a 'camp' of presentations, live and via Skype. Discussing and brainstorming the Open Call and its greater context, this seminar brings together interested students, professionals, algorithm developers and n.e.w.s. contributors working to solve the Shadow Search conundrum.

‘Unspeakably More depends on what things are called than on what they are. (...) Let us not forget that in the long run it is enough to create new names and plausibilities in order to create new "things".’
