Workshop Schedule
5:30 PM - 8:30 PM, August 9, 10, 11, 12

The 1st session will explore how democratic activists share information, encourage participation and lead the change at the scene through social media, and the same time how social media, allowing the general public to occupy the roles of the artists, threatens the avant-garde spirit in media art. Meanwhile, people came up with various reasons and forms to keep anonymity to protect the independence of the digital world, and many anonymous identities have produced trends of various cultures. In the 2nd session, participants will discuss how artists, who are to explore the autonomy of art, can respond to this anonymous culture both in cyberspace and reality.
