January 12th and 13th 2010 will be Bengaluru days to exchange about Wikipedia and ideas, knowledge, power, representation, ethics and aesthetics. Alok Nandi will be one of the speakers there.
“The Wikipedia has emerged as the de facto global reference of dynamic knowledge. Different stakeholders – Wikipedians, users, academics, researchers, gurus of Web 2.0, publishing houses and governments have entered into fierce debates and discussions about what the rise of Wikipedia and Wiki cultures means and how they influence the information societies we live in. The Wikipedia itself has been at the centre of much controversy, pivoted around questions of accuracy, anonymity, vandalism, expertise and authority.
The Centre for Internet and Society (Bangalore, India) and the Institute of Network Cultures (Amsterdam, Netherlands) are working together to produce a critical Reader on Wikipedia and to build a Wikipedia Knowledge Network. Under the rubric CPOV, we propose two events that bring together different perspectives, approaches, experiences and stories that critically explore different questions and concerns around Wikipedia. The proceeds from these two events will result in a Reader that consolidates critical points of view about Wikipedia.”

Alok Nandi has conceived/directed an audio installation for a very public plazza, The Brussels Grand Place / Grote Markt, in the heart of the city.
It takes place every week day, between 10.00 and 18.00, every twenty minutes. Voices from different parts of the world will offer their accent, sharing a sentence by novelist Alain Berenboom.

On March 21st, a workshop with the design School St-Lukas will allow visual investigations of what could Accents mean, with the students of Annelies Vaneycken.
Alok Nandi is launching “Accents”, a series of urban interventions - the first one will be audio and take place in one of the well-known plazza in Europe: Grand-Place in Brussels, as part of the “Bruxelles, ville des mots” events. An exploration of what can intonation bring in multiple media art and design, looking beyond interaction. In parallel, there will be a workshop in March with design school St-Lukas Brussels, with Annelies Vaneycken and her students, dept. of visual design. More soon about the urban installation and the workshop.
“Bruxelles, ville des mots” is part of “La langue française en fête” and takes place from March 14th to March 22nd.
Initiated on 080808 after the conference ISEA2008 in Singapore, the first publication on Zero, an artist book by Alok b. Nandi and Ajaykumar is released on 081216.
