Background :

The 4th Radiator festival & symposium, "Exploits in the Wireless City
", aims to instigate discussion and debate based on the understanding
that the development of digital networks are transforming our notion
of (public and private) space.
In its critique, Radiator will question the opportunities, future
strategies and implementations that artists, poets, and communities
face when learning to act within these new hybrid city spaces.

Through its artistic interventions, Radiator will put theory into
practice with projects and events that both position and challenge the
dominant forces at work in the urban environment and explore the new
territories opened up by hybrid space.

The Going Underground project, investigates this infrastructure by
placing 5 artists or poets into the urban confines of British cities:
Glenn Davidson (Artstation) (UK), Folke Köbberling & Martin Kaltwasser
(DE), Ian Nesbitt (UK), Christian Nold (UK), N55 (DK). These poets and
artists will act as sleeper agents, observing and gathering
information from a range of different sources including; architects,
planning departments, city council offices, surveillance, monitoring
centre's and the Police to create new work in response to their
research.

The Radiator festival and symposium is curated by Anette Schäfer &
Miles Chalcraft from Trampoline. Trampoline has hosted and curated
events in both Nottingham and Berlin since 1997.
