Videotage is proud to present WIKITOPIA, the first TinyFest on collaborative future in Hong Kong from 11 to 19 September 2010. Co-organized by the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong and supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Centre for Creative and Performing Arts, HKU SPACE, WIKITOPIA aims to raise the public awareness for various concepts in the expanded Free Culture movement such as knowledge sharing, networked creativity, and most importantly the collaborative future. We will explore how we as engaged human beings, by acknowledging and utilizing these concepts growing from the technological world and entering the creative realm, envision a new utopia, opening up a new possibility for our way of working, thinking, and, ultimately, living. Technology is not about computers but us. We believe new media is not just a medium, but as well the spirit to shape our future, our world. It is only human that would possibly make a collaborative future; it is only you and me (not your machines) who would possibly create a Wikitopia for all of us!
Wikitopia will be the focal point for artists, ICT/media activist, thinkers, curators, writers and curious-minded observers for a diverse programme of keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, screenings and performances at various venues in Hong Kong.
