Hello and welcome to the
INFOWAR Net-Symposium which will start on April 15 1998.
An in-depth discussion of the festival theme on the Internet as an additional
feature of the program leading up to the Ars Electronica Symposium in Linz took
place for the first time in 1996. The 1996 netsymposia "Memesis" as well as the
1997 "FleshFactor" online discussion served not only as a highly stimulating
environment encouraging an exchange of ideas, but also as an opportunity to
prepare conceptual approaches and to define views more sharply.
In accordance with the multilayered nature of this year's topic INFOWAR, we are
planning to take another step forward and break out of the linear form of the
discussion forum. Thus, in contrast to prior netsymposia, three experts have
been invited to serve as moderators and to facilitate the discussion of the
topic's key issues:
The moderators are media theoretician Dr. Friedrich A. Kittler from Berlin,
the Dutch media activist and theorist Geert Lovink and Austrian armament
researcher Dr. Georg Schoefbaenker.
Furthermore, in order to provide participants with in-depth background infor-
mation in preparation for the symposia, a comprehensive collection of material
is being assembled and being made available on the Web.
