Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for your request.
I tend not to join such art & science projects as I believe that art and science these days are completely unequal entities. Unless these power relations are addressed I do not believe it is in the interest of the arts and humanities to collaborate with 'science' (despite the good intentions on both sides, no doubt...). In my essays on the crisis of new media arts I have written about 'art & science' (for instance in my book Zero Comments). Currently, in academia 85% of the research money is going to the hard sciences. Unless this is changed, or at least publicly addressed, I do not see why we should collaborate with so-called real 'scientists'.
Best, Geert


Geert Lovink was one of the key theorists behind the concept of tactical media - the use of media technologies as a tool to distribute the ideas that are opposed to an issue against different levels of government. As an Internet activist, he describes tactical media as a 'deliberately slippery term, a tool for creating "temporary consensus zones" based on unexpected alliances.
