| [Nettime-bold] ACTIVE LINK One afternoon conference |
If you are in Stuttgart today welcome olia ACTIVE LINK One afternoon conference June 29th 2000 Merz Akademie, Stuttgart starting at 17.00 MEST LINK is a connection from one information object to another. The original purpose of the LINK was: keeping kopies up to date, saving filesystem capacity through avoiding redundant files, being a placeholder for data stored somwhere else. Today LINK is the essence of the web: connecting different sites on different locations with each other - in a decentralized, rhizomatic structure. LINKING is not only building a connection, but relations. To make LINKS can mean: collecting information, making art or doing business, surveing or surviving. ACTIVE LINK is a link at the very moment, when it is selected or when you click on it. It's short moment, but the most interesting of all. LINKS have to be active in order to make a system working and it's efforts making sense. Networking environments consist of LINKS, in order to enrich, enlarge and faciliate the users activities. LINKING means to share ressources and to use them commonly. This is the pre-condition for any social activity on the net. What a LINK can be? What an active ACTIVE LINK can perform? These are the questions we find important in june 2000. ALINK is a first event organized by Networking group students of Merz Akademie, Stuttgart ALINK will happen once a year in the end of summer semester. ALINK will cover hot, vital, curious and forgotten subject. ALINK can grow, change and dissapear. ALINK can be moved and renamed.
