Studying top six themes:
This is the page for suggestions about the next Upgrade! International meeting that will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, in September/2010.
The idea is that each person who wants to suggest names or ideas put one entry per line. The suggestions will be closed on February/16th and then we will vote until February 18th.
- something about south-south or nord-south or south-south-nord or...
- Upgrade! International 2010: Downgraded! (or Downgraded? or Downgraded!? downgradeable?)
- If we're thinking about a play on 'upgrade', I'd think about 'Retrograde" (might not be as negative as Downgrade?) (Kate)
- What about something having to do with Scale.(Kate)
- Thinking about twit, twitting, 150 Characters, What's your status? State of being in 150 characters. UI10: 150 characters. Fast culture in small bits. (yael)
- Upgrade!2.0.10 or UI-2.0.10
- upgradistas or anyone from the whole of the Upgrade! network, after paulistas - it's also completely unique and has never been seen before. (Mark)
- PLAYGROUND I am preparing a series of events regarding the issue of PLAY in its various aspects such as pervasive gaming, interactive playful interventions in urban situations, playful remote collaborations, playful communities, second part of our conference "emotional gaming"....The working title of it is "PLAYGROUND". To prepare for it I am able to invite artists to our residency program in munich this summer/autumn. I thought of maybe combining this matter with UI10 I could also think of something like PLAYGROUND as a title for our meeting in 2010 and offer space for some UPGRADE artists this year to prepare for it here in Munich. (Horst).
- Upgrade! International 2010: Unbranded & Downgraded
- Upgrade! International 2010: ART IN CRISIS
- Upgrade! International 2010: THE RETROGRESSION OF ART
- Upgrade! International 2010: GROUND/PLAY
- Upgrade! International 2010: BRAND/PLAY
- Upgrade! 2.0.10_OVER_PLAY_OVER
- (jo) Since Martha is planning to include non-Upgraders, I think the title should be less introspective/self-reflexive. I suggest the following:
- Upgrade! International: Crisis Intervention
- Upgrade! International:
<Pause><reset><Play> - Upgrade! International: Soft Borders
- Upgrade! International:
Strikethrough - Upgrade! International: Teeming Utopias
- Upgrade! International: <reset>
- (Mushon) UI 2010: Bottom-Upgrade - implying grassroots processes and restructuring // [also implies something else there Mushon .. how about a 'Bottoms & Tops' Upgrade? ]
- (Mushon) UI 2010: Into the cloud - global uncertainty, shared destiny (financial, social, environmental), (critique of) cloud computing (services going online, global)...
- Upgrade: Played Out
After voting, SOFT BORDERS became the theme.
