Festival HTMlles 8 - Oct. 2007
CONTROLE DES MASSES | CROWD CONTROL


The HTMlles Festival for Media Art and Networked Practices is a biennale event held in Montreal. An initiative of StudioXX feminist digital art and resource center, the HTMlles Festival is now entering it's 8th edition under the thematic title of "Crowd Control".

'Des phénomènes récurrents d'inclusion et d'exclusion peuvent être observés lorsque que sont pistés, à travers le temps, l'espace et les approches théoriques, les mouvements migratoires de personnes, d'objets et d'idées. La migrabilité est une mesure invisible permettant de calculer les capacités de déplacements. Qui ou quoi peut se déplacer ? Quelle part des informations est conservée et quelle autre ne l'est pas? Quelle parties sont transférables? Quels sont les options possibles pour contrôler les exclusions et les inclusions ?'

'Occurrences of inclusions and exclusions can be observed when tracking a migrating person, object or concept through time and theory, as well as space. The ability (or inability) to migrate is an invisible measure for the capacity to move. Who/what is able to move? What information is kept and what is left out? What is transferable and what is not? What are possible options for controlling the inclusions and exclusions ?'

The festival has developed into a vibrant International forum, bringing together women and active feminists working with technology. Originally founded as a 'web art' festival, the HTMlles maintains a focus on works and dialogs related to networking.

The HTMlles festival invites guest projects and presenters and extends a call for submissions of works to be selected by jury. HTMlles 8 : Crowd Control will be held in Montreal in October 2007. The call for project submission will close on January 5, 2007

The HTMlles festival is directed by curator Kyd Campbell in collaboration with the team of StudioXX, a programming committee and a dedicated festival staff.
