Bellas necesidades: Regreso al Futuro - Festival Zemos 98

Constant member Laurence Rassel presents her ideas on fiction as a tool in ’Bellas Necesidades’.

The Encounters Back to the Future invite 5 thinkers/creators: Laurence
Rassel, José Luis de Vicente, Wu Ming, Lisa Parks and Geert Lovink. They
look into the possible functions of utopic thinking in an Era of Advanced
Capitalism, or the effects of technological changes on cultural processes,
or envision the power of publically shared knowledge. A harmonic discourse
is set to create new critical powers of liberation and emancipation; also
to acknowledge the neutralizating threats of the same liberating powers.

Laurence Rassel

Bellas necesidades (Beautiful necessity)

Using fiction, the articulation of a narration, let you consider a
situation that defies you not to let machines speak instead of yourself,
but to talk to them from our own point of view. Fragmenting words,
situations, objects and recomposing them with the aim of experimenting
about different questions related to our connection with technology and
testing some ways of communication. Sharing the knowledge of using media to go beyond stereotypes, social control, purity of discourse.

Thinking about machines, systems and codes, software and free licenses,
gender questions and discourse and communication formats, the formats of our derived representations about sci-fi, about "What about if..."; about
the desire of telling a different story, anonymous, collective, cryptic,
out of market, out of media, a non-ending story.

Bellas Necesidades: Regreso al futuro - Festival Zemos 98

Laurence Rassel, membre de Constant, présente ses idées sur la fiction comme outil avec ’Bellas Necesidades’. Festival Zemos 98.

Les rencontres Retour Vers le Futur invitent Laurence Rassel, José Luis
de Vicente, Wu Ming, Lisa Parks et Geert Lovink à réfléchir sur les
effets des changements technologiques sur les processus culturels et les
possibilités de réflexion utopique.

La conférence de Laurence Rassel, intitulée Belles Nécessités, partira
du désir de raconter une histoire différente, qui dépasserait les
stéréotypes du genre, le contrôle social ou le besoin de pureté. Une
histoire inspirée par de nombreux auteurs de science fiction et qui
commencerait par "Et si...".

Constant-lid Laurence Rassel presenteerde haar ideeën over ’Fictie als werktuig’ in ’Bellas Necesidades’.

Regreso al Futuro

"Encounters Back to the Future" nodigde 5 denkers/ makers uit: Laurence
Rassel, José Luis de Vicente, Wu Ming, Lisa Parks en Geert Lovink zochten
naar de mogelijke functies van utopisch denken in een tijdperk van
gevorderd kapitalisme, of de effecten van technologische veranderingen in
culturele processen, of de kracht van een publiek gedeelde kennis. Een
harmonisch discours om nieuwe emancipatoire kritische krachten te creëeren en om de neutraliserende dreiging van diezelfde bevrijdende krachten te onderkennen.
