Organiser Statement

Temporary Media Lab
The closer you zoom in on the revolution’ the more you lose focus. Attempts to define a universal check list for this real change of a social system have failed. Where does that leave the Digital Revolution? Revolting replaces the handset on the master narrative and dials again…
Throughout a five week period, ‘Revolting’ will host a series of events, workshops and screenings, presented by a number of international guests working with media in activism, culture and theory.
