Dazzled by democracy.

“This space belongs to everyone. Keep out of it.” Aleix Vidal Cuadras, politician.

It seems that we are living in a time of tension in our cities. Cracks are appearing in our way of life; angry crowds are on the streets demanding the implementation of the laws that guarantee housing for everyone; uncontrolled exchange of information is taking place on the internet; citizens are using the city as if it were their own and singing songs as if they owned the rights to them. People are losing respect for pro p e r t y. This interactive performanceconference offers to crisis-struck governments, political parties and the powers that be, solutions to pacify their citizens’ discontent, to clear up all misunderstandings and to stop citizens taking their rights into their own hands.

The Advanced Realities Foundation – one speculator, one vote

A copyleft set-piece for performers, motion graphics, tactical videos, audiences and telematic systems for democratic participation.

The first show that is so open source, you can take it home with you.

Saturday 31st of may, from 11h to 21h.
In Conservas (C.Sant Pau, 58, Barcelona)

Journey of self-formation and debate “Compartir dóna gustet!”: the focus is the binomial public domain - private domain related to 3 aspects: Internet, biology and food, and public space. We’ll think about which mechanisms can be possible in these spheres the pleasure of sharing is becoming much more of a “wired” reality and difficulte to achieve -it doesn´t matter if it is on a bench in the street, with our music or the seeds of the typical tomatoes of our village. We’ll think about “why sharing can feel so good?”, and all of that with the collaboration of several experts:

> Manel Delgado, Andrés Antebi and Gerard Horta, anthropologists, who will speak about public space

> Álvaro Porro, Quim Guinovart and Anita Frayse, experts in biological cultivation, food and gastronomy, will explain to us how public and private property is affecting these things

> Daniel Bovadilla, Josian Llorente, Lluís Carbonell and Carles Soler, net-addicts, net-artists and net-activists, will demonstrate to us the present thinking on the meanings of public and private in the Internet sphere.

We’ll discuss about all these items and we’ll make final conclusions. We’ll eat very, very well and we’ll finish the day very close to Conservas, in Poble-Sec, taking part in a “copyleft evening” at Piel de Logos (C. Vilà i Vilà, 82, baixos, Poble-Sec).

When: saturday, 31st of May (from 10am - 8pm, the working day, and from 9pm to maximum 3am at Piel de Logos).

WEDNESDAY 14th of MAY - 19,30h

Multiply and share forth. For the free sharing of knowledge and understanding. At Conservas, Calle Sant Pau 58 - Barcelona

The grand opening of the EXGAE, the first legal advice service specialising in the liberation of all citizens and creators from the abuses of the SGAE and all other bureaucratic organisations.

The EXGAE opens with the notion of channelling the popular and justified hostility towards bureaucratic bodies like the SGAE, equipping people with artistic and legal skills to finally put an end to these entities.

The EXGAE fights, alongside the great majority of society, for alternative forms for the circulation of culture.

24 bodies, including associations and individuals, are behind this initiative, wich begins with the endorsement of almost 8000 people.

It is focused on informing and assisting the general populace (every one of us pays into the canon!) and in particular, giving legal advice to traders , creators, artists and producers alike.

Consult with the best lawyers.

Wednesday 14th May - 19.30h - Calle Sant Pau 58 bajos
Public presentation of the EXGAE: who we serve and how to use use us. The lawyers will join us, make them questions and come to resolve your doubts.
