AHAcktitude 2009

27-28-29th November, Milan, Italy

# Organised by:
aha@lists.ecn.org and AHA: Activism-Hacking-Artivism

In Milan on the 27, 28, and 29th of November the artivists of the AHA
mailing list will meet at the “Il Cantiere” social centre.

Activist-artists, artistic hackers, social-artistic activists, call them
whatever you like. The 600 subscribers to the AHA mailing list are just
a small part of all those people who, in Italy and in the world, know
that the medium is not just the message, but the massage and the
‘mixage’. They know that it is not enough to complain about TV (be it
mainstream, communitarian or niche), or blabber on about alternative
communication, because the experience must be developed, and because
communication without bodies only communicates stereotypes, and the body
without intelligence only produces manipulation.

For this reason from last year the subscribers of aha@list.ecn.org meet
face to face periodically, each time in a different city, to open the
black boxes, to get their hands inside the technological devices for
communication and imagination, to deconstruct the official knowledge and
share new knowledge, to work at collective intelligence of bodies and
not at capital intelligence, to broaden the resistance to globalization
of multinationals and institutional power.

AHAcktitude will be three days of activity and activism, of enjoyment
and sharing, of study and fun. Technology, music, Internet, literature,
telecommunications, marketing and social networks: everything will be
targeted at open sourcing and open sharing. Methods, approaches,
attitudes that are different but that communicate in order to explore,
understand, and act in our condition of technologically modified beings.
Because human beings are worth more than merchandise, and we will not be
satisfied while the life of someone who has more is worth more than the
life of someone who has nothing.

aha@lists.ecn.org is an Italian mailing list created in 2002 within the
AHA: Activism-Hacking-Artivism project, founded by Tatiana Bazzichelli,
aka T_Bazz. AHA wants to promote networking and critical thinking,
connecting artistic practices to political and social activism. We
define these practices as ‘artivism’.
