Ballettikka Internettikka uses impossible connections to develop the
possible strategies of resistance and disobedience. The project
participates in the already existing protocols of communication, yet
without being servile to these protocols, it opens up links between
emotionality and technology, production and ethics, desire and
organization, imagination and institution. The distribution of politics
and intimacy without any reason and purpose, with the use of limited,
defined, and controlled protocols is a dystopia and an unsubmissive revolt
to the world of capital, which can be disarmed only by the use of its own
tactics.
Ballettikka Internettikka is a co-production of Intima Virtual Base and
Cona 20012009 and Aksioma 2003.
