Elevate Festival 2013 / 23 - 27 October in Graz, Austria

Elevate Open Everything?

The publication of tax haven files by the Offshore Leaks project, explosive WikiLeaks cables and the massive eavesdropping on innocent citizens clearly show the ambivalence of the technology we use today: transparency of financial and power structures as well as new possibilities of democratic participation on one hand, total surveillance and the elimination of the human right to privacy on the other.
Ambivalence also applies to Open Materials, 3D printers and Open Hardware construction plans for material production. Small parts and machines of all kinds (including weapons) can be produced by anyone with technical skills.

"Open" is therefore not a value per se. It is rather the question of "publicity" and "privacy", which has to be addressed against the background of new technology - on a personal level as well as in the context of social policy. The Elevate Festival will address this fundamental question with an emphasis on self empowerment and participation.

Music & Arts
Within the intimate atmosphere of the Schlossberg's caverns and tunnels, Elevate presents another instalment of diverse yet congeneric electronic music.
