Sergey Courtyard, Heleni Hamalka 13, Jerusalem,
@Sugia 2 event
Yael Kanarek (IL/USA)
Yael Kanarek will talk
about Upgrade! an international network of artists gatherings she initiated
in 1999. Yael will review how the Upgrade! evolved from a casual meeting in
a bar in Manhattan
into an international network in eighteen cities around the world. Yael
will talk about how nodes run in different cities, partnerships with
organizations, motivations and a vision for the future. The talk will
conclude with a discussion.
Upgrade! is an international, emerging
network of autonomous nodes united by art, technology, and a commitment to
bridging cultural divides. Its decentralized, non-hierarchical structure
ensures that Upgrade! (i) operates according to local interests and their
available resources; and (ii) reflects current creative engagement with
cutting edge technologies. While individual nodes present new media
projects, engage in informal critique, and foster dialogue and
collaboration between individual artists, Upgrade! International functions
as an online, global network that gathers annually in different cities to
meet one another, showcase local art, and work on the agenda for the
following year.
Current Nodes: Amserdam (Netherlands), Boston
(United States), Caracs (Venezuela), Chicago (United States), Lisbon
(Portugal), Johannesburg (South Africa), Istanbul (Turkey), Montreal
(Canada), Munich (Germany), New York (United States), Oklahoma City (United
States), Salvador (Brazil), Scotland, Seoul (South Korea), Sofia
(Bulgaria), Tel Aviv-Jerusalem (Israel), and Vancouver (Canada).
Future Nodes: Athens (Greece), Liverpool
(United Kingdom), Berlin (Germany), Paris (France), Skopje (Macedonia),
Vienna (Austria) will launch in the near future.
Organizations: Eyebeam, Turbulence.org, New
Media Scotland, Art Centre Nabi, The Western Front, The Society for Arts
and Technology (SAT), InterSpace, i-camp, DCA, CCA, No-Org.net, Art
Interactive, NOMAD/santralistanbul, program angels/lothringer13, Open-Node.com,
t-u-b-e, C-M.TV, Lisboa 20, AT. joburg, and the University of the
Witwatersrand.
