"Citizen Kino presents “The Screen Is Not The Territory”: Selected shorts ranging from Adam Curtis to ZumbaKamera to Anonymous.The XLterrestrials, an arts + praxis laboratory, take you on an interactive tour through a collection of pioneering works and/or media flotsam. We do NOT provide a comfortable seat to passively download and feed the endlessly hungry eye. We are shouting “Fire!” in the all-consuming theater! This is a program for Media Self-defense!"
"Surely we have now “become the media”, and we are all in, if not on, the Net! A world of Server Clouds, Gamefication, Virtual Migration, Twitterization, Wikileaks, Social Networks, Data-Leeching + Surveillance, Augmented Hypermarkets, etc…. all spilling over into every corner of our lives, and voraciously eating up our days. Are we empowering communities or are we feeding the corporate monster state?! Will an information society on this scale bring about liberation + higher (collective) intelligence or be the final consumer mousetrap !?"
