Next 5 Minutes 3
From its beginning in 1993, the Next 5 Minutes 1, 2 and now 3 has
followed the growth of tactical media. The term 'tactical media' refers
to a critical usage and theorisation of media practices that draw on
all forms of old and new media for achieving a variety of specific non-
commercial goals and pushing a plethora of potentially subversive
political issues.
Moving beyond the mere assertion of the net as
a relatively new medium, the N5M3 will be debating the wider social,
cultural and political implications of an ever growing impulse to
digitalise information. Plus the conference will be looking at the
recent political and economic constellations evolving from currently
emerging information and communication structures. While analysing
these more homogenising forces of convergence, there will be an
emphasises on the necessity of employing and deploying a variety of
tactical and independent media.
These issues are addressed on
two levels: a structural examination of empowering strategies in new
informational environments with an emphasis on the notion of 'tactical
networks' and 'electronic borders'. The latter refers to the disturbing
fact that in information societies, social, political and cultural
divisions are increasingly drawn along the lines of accessibility to
electronic media. In discussing this, we will also be looking beyond
the West, highlighting the significance of different media in diverse
political and economic climates.
N5M3 was a working conference
comprised of a focused public program plus a variety of smaller-scale
seminars and workshops. Essential to the conference was the exchange of
ideas, experience, working methods, and the construction of long-term
partnerships and network structures.
