>
> Futuresonic has 4 strands: Art, Music, Ideas and EVNTS. Currently in  
> its 12th year, the festival occupies the orbits of both music and  
> digital culture.
>
> A focus in recent years has been presenting artworks in unexpected  
> city spaces, and on social art and social technologies.
>
> Futuresonic now invites artists, thinkers and makers to get social  
> and present new types of collaborative social experience at  
> Futuresonic 2008.
>
> This is a time when we see how electronic communication can isolate  
> us, as more and more people drown in a deluge of email that  
> generates stress, even reducing IQ; and it is 40 years since people  
> took to the streets of Paris in 1968 calling for society to be  
> abolished.
>
> Join us as we go in search of the social today.
>
> Web 2.0...
> I take part
> you take part
> he takes part
> we take part
> you all take part
> they profit.
> (Slogan from Paris '68, remixed)
