> STWST (Stadtwerkstatt, http://stwst.at <http://stwst.at/>) celebrated its 40 years of existence as a free/open space... we take the association with ARS, we and ARS are voisine... we try to be friendly. we have our own independent operation, living off the fringe, hoping when ARS bring in the media elites, we can ask some swing by... for 6 years, we organize 48 hours during ARS, we got to hijack, i.e. jeromil, when he was invited by ARS to come smoothe with us a bit at our lab....ARS takes it's own course, the rich get richer. I have not need to go shut it down. i can only divert, infiltrate, nothing worthy of radical these days.

>> Excuse-me if I find this thema "more or less" very shy, and very conservative. The problem is not more or less capitalism, more or less regulation, more or less ecology. The problem is not how to repair or adapt capitalism, like suggests " More or Less" topic, but how to STOP this non-sense, how to change radically, in a peacefull way, the actual destructive global path, to go to a real sustainable new world, in the context of the climate changes/collapse and all side-effects.

>> I would prefer instead a call for radical events, projects, radical thinking, radical transformaking, ruptures. We don't have a lot of time until things get uncontrolable, may be 10 years. If we don't act more deeply now, and invest in the good directions in this relative peacefull times, we will not have the possibility to do it during a deeper collapse.

>> Ars Electronica has always been a business event for innovation, granted by transnational companies, and it appears more and more obscene to waste so much money for high-class attendees, with almost no effects on the rest of the world, excepting producing glossy paper catalogs for dusty shelves. Few kilometers close to Linz, hundred thousands of refugees wait in terror and despair.

>> In my opinion, a good general topic for the september event could be " How to definitively close Ars electronica festival this year, and invent gatherings with real effects on people, global and local, in decentralized ways"

>>> With processes and projects that make the difference, we want to take a look at the zones of art, nature, information, movement and sound. In doing so, we want to focus primarily on other networks, aesthetic strategies, autonomous policies and alternative metabolites that are driven by questions of more or less - and, above all, driven by OTHER, as a general other way of thinking. We are concerned with the individual and the many in larger systems and we are concerned with rational and irrational approaches to the all and nothing, in larger contexts of world, society and cosmos. Nothing less, and vice versa, in all directions.
