17:45 Start der Diskussion

„Von der Ware Arbeit zur wahren Arbeit – Die Linzer Tabakfabrik als Zukunftsprojekt“ – Unter diesem Motto lädt die Initiative NANK (Neue Arbeit Neue Kultur) im Rahmen des Festivals Ars Electronica am Dienstag, 7. September, zu einer hochkarätig besetzten Podiumsdiskussion mit Vertretern aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur in die Tabakfabrik Linz ein.

Wie wird das Gelände der ehemaligen Tabakfabrik in Zukunft genutzt werden können, welche wirtschaftlichen, kulturellen, sozialen und politischen Möglichkeiten und Notwendigkeiten sind bereits vorhanden oder müssen noch entwickelt werden? Die Tabakwerke als mögliches Kulturhaus, als Heimat der Kreativwirtschaft und der „Neuen Arbeit“ – Linz als Impulsgeber für neue Arbeitskonzepte und Green Technologies sind nur einige Fragen, die besprochen werden.

Über die Zukunft einer ganzen Stadt werden Stadtrat Johann Mayr (SPÖ), Vizebürgermeister Erich Watzl (ÖVP), Robert Bauer (ATW Nachnutzungs-Studie), Gerhard Haderer (Künstler), Gerfried Stocker (Künstlerischer Geschäftsführer Ars Electronica) und der Philosoph und Vordenker der „Neuen Arbeit“ Frithjof Bergmann mit dem Publikum diskutieren.

Hubert Lepka speaks about the performance he’s staging for the 2010 Klangwolke and his artistic concept.

Life and work according to ideas from the development of open source software: Vision of a sustainable future, nightmare scenario of total transparency or something that’s long been common practice? At the Open Source Life symposium experiences with projects and initiatives, activism on behalf of freedom online and critical analysis of concepts around “openness” meet. Can Open-Source-Mindsets of the individual and Open-Source-Structures in societies and economies act as agents of positive change?

The Linz Lectures series sponsored by the city’s Volkshochschule adult continuing education facility and the province’s Chamber of Labor is designed as a forum for the critical discussion of important current issues. This year, American sociologist Richard Sennett has been invited to Linz to discuss work (the reality of work; work as a commodity) amidst capitalism’s time of crisis. Sennett’s bestsellers—for example, “The Corrosion of Character” and “The Culture of the New Capitalism”—elaborate on the effects of flexwork on labor and life in general. Sennett’s latest book, “The Craftsman,” investigates a basic human  impulse: the desire to do a job well for its own sake.

Admission is free, but please RSVP to reserve a seat by calling +43.732.6906.2413 or sending an e-mail to wipol@akooe.at.
