Network Cultures Winter Camp, 3-7 March '09
Winter Camp is an event, organized by the Institute of Network Cultures and will take place 3-7 March '09 in Amsterdam. Network Cultures Winter Camp will be a mix of presentations and work spaces with an emphasis on getting things done. It will be a four-day program of work spaces and plenary presentations, in which a dozen invited networks (each of which has 5-15 people) can work on their specific current topics.
When a network settles down, and is not so new anymore, it can be quite a challenge to keep it's activity level. Should a network then transform into a so-called 'organized network'? Organizing a network does not necessarily mean decreasing the level of spontaneity to make way for rules and hierarchy: it can provide a place for sustainable knowledge sharing and production. As Ned Rossiter argues in his book Organized Networks (2006), face-to-face meetings are crucial "if the network is to maintain momentum, revitalize energy, consolidate old friendships and discover new ones, recast ideas, undertake further planning activities, and so on." Network Cultures Winter Camp is therefore meant for those networks and (potential) network members that need support to gather in real life, conspire, discuss and make the necessary steps forward.
This event is taken place with funding from Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst and Stichting Democratie en Media.
