Festival Grounded 2018

Grounded je festival elektronske glasbe, kritične misli in aktivizma, ki naslavlja aktualna družbena vprašanja s povezovanjem navidez nezdružljivega: deinstitucionalizirane teoretske razprave, povsakdanjenja družbenega aktivizma ter progresivne klubske elektronske kulture. V razpravah, projekcijah, predstavitvah, glasbenih nastopih in druženjih, katerih vrednostna izhodišča so enakost ne glede na osebne okoliščine, solidarnost s šibkejšimi in avtonomija posameznika_ce, udeleženke_ci iščejo informirane, argumentirane in odgovorne odzive na izzive sedanjosti in prihodnosti. 

TEMA FESTIVALA "INTIMA V ČASU UMETNE INTELIGENCE"

Kaj se zgodi z idejo zasebnosti v dobi samonadzora? Komu in čemu služi demokracija v času avtomatizacije pravičnosti? Kaj je svobodna misel v času personaliziranega spreminjanja vzorcev mišljenja? Kaj je prostost identitete v času vedno večjega vpliva naših digitalnih sledi na finančne in kreditne zmožnosti naših političnih teles? Kako prepoznati totalitarizem v času, ko korporacije o svojih subjektih vedo več kot države?

Ob prepoznavanju kompleksnosti trenutne situacije stremimo k pismenosti in prepoznavanju vloge tehnologij umetne inteligence, katerih pomen za ekonomsko rast narašča vzporedno z rastjo avtoritarizma. Umetna inteligenca in robotika, ki za svoje delovanje potrebujeta kar največje količine podatkov, čedalje bolj aktivno spreminjata, omejujeta in usmerjata naše delovanje. Ob tem, ko zaganjalci četrte industrijske revolucije osvobajajo zavore trga s širjenjem pravne subjektivitete robotov, je nujno odpreti platformo za premišljevanje o različnih vidikih in posegih strojne inteligence v intimo in spontanost vsakdana.

Grounded is a festival of electronic music, critical thinking and activism that addresses current social issues by combining the seemingly incompatible: deinstitutionalised theoretical debates, every day social activism and progressive electronic club culture. Through debates, projections, presentations, music performances and hangouts - the baselines of which are equality irrespective of personal circumstances, solidarity with the weak and the autonomy to govern your own fate - the participants seek relevant, eligible and responsible responses to the contemporary challenges of current times.

FESTIVAL THEME "INTIMACY IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE"

What happens to the idea of privacy in the era of self-surveillance? What and whom does democracy serve in relation to the automation of justice? What is free thought in the times of personalised manipulation of thought patterns? What is identity freedom in regards to the ever increasing impact of our digital footprints on the financial and credit capacities of our political bodies? How to recognize totalitarianism at a time when corporations know more about their subjects than national states?

Recognizing the complexity of the current situation, we strive towards literacy and the recognition of the role of artificial intelligence technologies, whose importance for economic growth is increasing in parallel with the growth of authoritarianism. For their smooth operation, artificial intelligence and robotics require big data that are importantly changing, limiting and directing our practices. While the pioneers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are freeing up market barriers through enabling the legal subjectivity of machines or robots, it is essential to provide a platform for reflecting on the various interventions of machine intelligence into intimacy and spontaneity of everyday life.
