INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE LIBERTY IN NETWORKS: PARTICIPANTS AND PURPOSE
Editor-in-Chief: Aude Crispel
.dpi 20 is the first issue in a three-part series focusing on the theme of liberty. This issue examines liberty- a fundamental principle of our independent and/or democratic societies – as a concept systematically disavowed in “virtual” societies, through Internet browser advertisements, email indexing and government censorship, not to mention the United States of America’s Patriot Act or HADOPI in France.
Why is liberty, so emblematic of a progressive society, so easily questioned? Does our libertarian ideal disappear in the digital realm? From the resistance of certain groups to the benevolent discourses of multinationals, is society able to identify all of the issues that presuppose countless collections of data? How do women see themselves and/or grasp the concept of individual or collective liberty within networks?

Politics finds its meaning in freedom. The concept of politics comes from the desire for freedom of individuals, of communities, of a people. In practice, freedom is nothing without a policy-based framework. Freedom is certainly the right to act, but why act? The philosopher Hannah Arendt said that to be true, the only freedom that matters is that which “is being able to do what we must want.” Freedom is the ability to fulfill one’s duty to help others, protecting their acts of freedom. What are the practices of media artists today as they participate in collective actions for freedom?
We welcome submissions in textual (article, column, review, interview, case study, etc.) and artistic multimedia (podcast, video, audio, locative media, animation, design, etc.) form that expand upon the theme of political actions of freedom in relation to technology. We encourage contributions featuring media content; authors/artists are responsible for clearing all copyright attached to this content.
