Sharism Forum 2010 Fabricatorz Announcement

Fabricatorz Invite All to Sharism Forum at Get It Louder in Shanghai October 22, 2010

San Francisco, Tuesday, October 12, 2010 - Fabricatorz will be in China the third week of October coordinating a Sharism Forum at Get It Louder 2010 in Shanghai on 22 October, 2010.

From the Get It Louder press office:

Launched in 2005, Get It Louder is China's most influential and closely-watched exhibition of emerging, young talent across creative disciplines. Following the 2005 and 2007 editions, this year's multi-venue event will bring together more than 100 of the most promising Chinese and international participants from fields spanning art and design to music, film and literature.

Get It Louder 2010 opens in Beijing on September 19 (through October 10), before traveling to Shanghai (October 22-November 7). Under the direction of event founder Ou Ning, chief curator of last year's Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture, 2010 Get It Louder will explore the theme of SHARISM. In the context of the Web 2.0 and social media, cloud intelligence, Twitter and other phenomena, SHARISM examines the increasingly convoluted relationship between public and private realms. More broadly, it touches upon issues of collaboration, individual agency and collective action, while serving as a site for negotiating communal space, both virtual and real.

Get It Louder 2010 will hold a one-day Sharism Forum, in Shanghai, with panel discussions and lectures exploring the exhibition's main theme. The Forum will be held as part of the opening day of the arts and culture festival Get It Louder 2010. Our one-day symposium will feature thinkers, practitioners and activists whose work concerns and shapes the global movement of a new sharing culture, which has been unified under the ideology of SHARISM. The public at large is invited to join and to become a "shareholder" of this movement. The event will spark calls-to-action and demonstrate new modalities and technologies of sharing.
