FRIDAY, 5th NOVEMBER

Regional Museum of Natural Science – Conference Hall, lower ground floor
>>>12.00 AM Back at the Share Festival Pre-AHAcktitude, informal meeting of the activists and artists of the AHA: Activism-Hacking-Artivism community.
Founded in 2001 by Tatiana Bazzichelli, the mailing list counts around 700 members, promoting networking, artistic interventions (artivism) and social and political activism. In 2008 the AHA members gave rise to the AHAcktitude event: an open situation which, following the structure of the Italian Hackmeetings, is directly organized and managed by the community members, who can freely propose seminars and projects to aha@lists.ecn.org. Participation is free and open to everyone.

>>>2.30 PM Dialogue with Mario Calabresi and Anna Masera Digital Publication Errors
and Transformations
Journalists make lots of mistakes, and not always the smartest of mistakes… but then journalists are only human. But in our global, digital era of great transformation and crisis, journalists are learning from their mistakes and reinventing journalism itself.

>>>3.30 PM Lecture by David Orban Why numerous mistakes can and should be made in technology today?
IThis Italian SPIME musketeer explains how important it is when developing technologically advanced goods to “fail soon & fail often.” The chance to fail is a privilege that has been hard won. Technological, economic, social and individual failure should be protected and must lose the stigma attaching to it. Why can we and should we make numerous mistakes with technology today? Because the cost of failure has never been so low!

>>>4.30 PM Dialogue with Max Casacci and Wu-Ming 1
What is the cultural import of error in the creative process of a musician and a writer? Presenting us with their own personal experience, the two authors tell of how error, inadvertent mistakes and imperfections have given rise to ideas that have proven fertile. A dialogue where literature and music provide a springboard to talk about how anomalies and little heresies can turn out to be key events in much bigger transformations.

>>>6 PM Lecture by Edoardo Boncinelli Creative Mistakes
A leading geneticist talks about genetic mutations, that is DNA errors that today are almost always harmful. Today, all species have reached an equilibrium point in their evolution. If mutations had never occurred though, life would still be where it was at its beginnings, almost four billion years ago.
