A Strategic Conference on Infopolitics, Electronic Media and Democracy in Times of Crisis. 2002
http://darkmarkets.t0.or.at/concept.htm
| DARK MARKETS IS A TWO DAY STRATEGIC CONFERENCE THAT WILL LOOK INTO THE STATE OF THE ART OF MEDIA POLITICS, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, AND THEORIES OF DEMOCRACY. A VARIETY OF INTERNATIONAL SPEAKERS WILL INQUIRE INTO STRATEGIES OF OPPOSITIONAL MOVEMENTS AND DISCUSS THE ROLE OF NEW MEDIA. |
THESE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS DARK MARKETS WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS:
| Has the Internet still its original potential to foster a ‘network democracy from below’? |
 |
| Aren’t new media already too much compromised by the ever growing state and corporate influence? |
|
| Can the Internet be reclaimed as a ‘digital commons’ or has the current crisis already reached a meta media level, beyond propaganda and its mirror counter- campaigns? |
