What should we do together? In this post-Snowden world…

Since the Snowden disclosures, the protagonists of the digital revolution are preparing for a new era of collaboration: hackers and journalists, pirates and capitalists, amateurs and professionals. Yet the common goals are still rife with conflict; there is still a lack of common values and universal practices. Nonetheless, or possibly exactly for that reason, we have become accomplices (in German: Komplizen). What greater problems could be addressed if the supposed opponents put aside their quarrels and work together? How could having a look through someone else’s glasses provide new approaches to finding solutions?

The all-day event KOMPLIZEN offers workshops (10 am – 4 pm), which bring together hackers and journalists, pirates and capitalists, amateurs and professionals in an attempt to find answers to the question: What should we do together? At the end of the day, a panel (from 5 – 6 pm) offers room for a public debate.

E-Book Launch
As part of the event, we will be launching KOMPLIZEN – an ebook containing over 25 texts by international experts, edited by Magdalena Taube and Krystian Woznicki, which includes essays, reports, and portraits that provide an idea of where the production of culture and knowledge could lead when influenced by complicity.
