Over the course of three days, we invite you to discuss anonymity with experts from science, art, technology and activism under the title “A=ANONYM”. How do contemporary regimes of anonymity arise in hybrid online-offline worlds? How is anonymity modified, evaluated, defended or opposed and abolished? When we rely on networked information and data infrastructure, how do information, ownership, transparency, privacy and anonymity interconnect? At Kampnagel, artists, activists and scientists will create a space of resonance for various forms of dealing with anonymity in transition. In workshops, lectures, laboratories, forums, and an exhibition, we will enquire how we create or suspend anonymity today and what this means, in political, aesthetical, and in social terms.

All conference events and workshops are held in English. Entry is free of charge, except for the evening programmes (tickets at www.kampnagel.de). Participation in the workshops and the performances requires registration (see programme).

The event is organized by the transdisciplinary research project “ Reconfiguring Anonymity “, in cooperation with Kampnagel.

“Reconfiguring Anonymity“ is a collaborative research project of the University of Bremen, the University of Hamburg, and Leuphana University of Lüneburg, funded by the Volkswagen Foundation’s initiative “Key Issues for Academia and Society”.
