Details: http://www.disruptionlab.org/samizdata/ Admission: 5 Euro. In English language. Fourth event of the Disruption Network Lab, directed by Tatiana Bazzichelli in cooperation with Kunstraum Kreuzberg /Bethanien. In collaboration with: SAMIZDATA: Evidence of Conspiracy, Jacob Appelbaum's first solo show in Germany, at NOME curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli Speakers: Jacob Appelbaum (journalist, artist, and researcher, USA/DE); Laura Poitras (journalist and filmmaker, USA); Jørgen Johansen (researcher and activist, Resistance Study Network, NO); Theresa Züger (researcher, DE); Jaromil (hacktivist, Dyne.org, IT/NL); Sophie Toupin (researcher and feminist techno/activist, CA); Valie Djordjevic (net activist, iRights.info, DE). By analysing tactics and strategies of resistance connected with the "Snowden Affair" in physical and digital life, this conference event brings together hackers, artists and critical thinkers, who apply and work on the concept of social justice from different angles. The goal is not to bring clear instructions, but to imagine possible alternatives into the development of shared forms of post-digital resistance. The conference programme involves journalists, artists, researchers and activists who analyse whistleblowing from a critical perspective bringing an insider critique of contemporary politics and state surveillance networks. Furthermore, it reflects on the long-term sustainability of whistleblowing practices, and the importance of establishing networks of trust, to protect possible sources and guarantee the rights of speaking out beyond fears, paranoia and the politics of war. This two-day event is in collaboration with SAMIZDATA: Evidence of Conspiracy, Jacob Appelbaum's first solo show in Germany at NOME (http://nomeproject.com). A series of colored infrared photos are shown as Cibachrome prints: a critique of the progressive loss of liberty, using analogue surveillance film to portrait people who are uncovering surveillance itself. Opening: 10th September, 18:00. Additional programme: Cryptoparty at SPEKTRUM: 12th September (18:00 + open end bar, http://spektrumberlin.de/events/detail/cryptoparty.html).
