ElectroSmog saves the planet with txt only.
International Festival for Sustainable Immobility
March 5th, 2010, posted by: Willem Velthoven
Two weeks before the first installment of Electrosmog will happen, it is still very hard to find a nice picture on their website. Mediamatic loves txt but these people are really stretching it!
The new festival is avoiding physical travel by a strong use of media and multi–geography. We are curious whether these good intentions will meet good attendance. At the moment they still seem to be in the way of the clear and attractive communications that are so well used by the competition.

1 if the 2 photographic images on the festival website.
This events is heading for a frontal collision with all the rules that make up a good festival. It feels more like an academical conference on second life. Without the sex that is.
Anyway: a highly laudable and interesting experiment. I'll try to not watch it from home but go to the Balie in Amstedam, still hoping to meet some new people over a beer and maybe dance a bit:-) For a full list of participating orgs, see their web site.

Taken at Bardot Proviant Klub exhibition, from 16 January - 28 February 2010 at Mediamatic.
Peter Lyberth is a bit nervous. The Greenlandic rapper, better known under his artist name Peand el, has just flown four hours from Greenland to Copenhagen, and one hour from Copenhagen to Amsterdam. Now he is tired because he didn’t sleep in the airplane and he’s struggling with his jetlag. Peand el doesn’t look like a gangsta rapper. With his short length, his round figure and his friendly face, he looks like a man who does harm to nobody. Peand el (27) works as a teacher in a kinderg...

February 25th, 2010, posted by: Bas van den Broeke
Egyptian writer Maria Golia tells about her new book 'Photography and Egypt', a new history of Egyptian photography that she presented on Sunday the 14th of February 2010.
Maria Golia is in Amsterdam to talk about ‘Photography and Egypt’ (2009), a brand new history of Egyptian photography that is written by her. Golia researched also the images in the book.
On a big screen she shows some of the most appealing of them, while telling her story about the misleading role that photography plays in the image that Western people have of Egypt. Maria Golia is a writer and longtime resident of Egypt. She was asked by Reaktion Books London to write ‘Photog...
