ARTISTS AGAINST TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS

Aizpute, Latvia
INTRODUCTION
?Artists against technology standards? is a
collaboration project uniting media artists,
activists, engineers and curators from Baltic States,
North Europe and Russia.
The main idea of the summer camp ? artistic and
creative expressions, hidden in the internal feelings
and based on the skills developed in the specific life
experience of the Soviet period. The keynote of the
summer camp is the creative phenomenon of the soviet
man ? the particular ability to realise the ideas with
limited technical resources, discover different use of
the everyday goods and make unusual objects for
practical application.
Program of the summer camp will include those works
that form and unite specific subculture, semiotic,
technical creation, folklore and perception of life of
the soviet space.
THEMES OF THE SUMMER CAMP
