A reconstruction of the history of artistic networking in Italy and of the Italian hacker community from the 1980s to date.
Networking means to create nets of relations, where the publisher and the reader, the artist and the audience, act on the same level. The book is a first tentative reconstruction of the history of artistic networking in Italy, through an analysis of media and art projects which during the past twenty years have given way to a creative, shared and aware use of technologies, from video to computers, contributing to the creation of Italian hacker communities.
As part of Moesgård Museum's new exhibition about runes, the DUL cultural heritage group has created a prototype installation that lets visitors create and decorate their own unique rune stones. The prototype explores user generated content in exhibition spaces and the potential interplay between visitors' everyday engagement and the knowledge presented in museum spaces. The exhibition can be experienced at Moesgård until August 2009.

During the climate conference Beyond Kyoto, citizens of Aarhus can engage themselves in the struggle for large-scale climate improvements by using Climate on the Wall, an interactive generator of climate statements that uses Ridehuset, a prominent building in the city centre, as a backdrop.
CO2NFESSION / CO2MMITMENT is an advanced video installation that puts a face on the struggle for climate improvements and gives the citizens of Aarhus a voice to be heard – and seen – throughout the city. The installation is part of the Municipality of Aarhus' campaign CO2030, dedicated to engaging citizens in the efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2030.
As part of this campaign, the Digital Urban Living research centre, in collaboration with AFA JCDecaux and the Municipality of Aarhus, have developed CO2NFESSION / CO2MMITMENT which offers citizens a chance of dedicating themselves to promoting a greener city.
Lørdag den 7. februar åbnede Skive Kunstmuseum dørene for den digitale kunstudstilling “No Place to Hide”. Udstillingen er kurateret af Kassandra Wellendorf og rummer værker af såvel danske som kendte, internationale kunstnere. Udstillingen er meget vellykket i sin klare tematiske fokusering på overvågning og i sin kombination af større, teknologitunge installationer, f.eks. ”Taken” af David Rokeby, med små, overraskende og tankevækkende værker a la ”Potent Objects” af Camille Utterback. Skive kunstmuseum, der er partner i DUL (Digital Urban Living), har med ”No Place to Hide” formået at skabe en meget seværdig udstilling, der på det varmeste kan anbefales.
