<h3>Hi,<br>
<br>
some organisations in the European neighboorhood of Berliner
Gazette are organising a very interesting project entitled
STATE MACHINES that actually addresses some of the key
concerns of FRIENDLY FIRE, BG's last annual conference theme
that inquired into the politics of citizenship. Please see
the call below and spread the word about it!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Krystian<br>

<h3>Open Call for works</h3>
<p><a rel="external" href="http://news.neme.org/1833/www.statemachines.eu" target="_blank">State Machines</a> is a
programme of activities devoted to the investigation of new
relationships between states, citizens and the stateless
made possible by emerging technologies. Focussing on how
such technologies impact identity and citizenship, digital
labour and finance, the project joins five experienced
partners – <a rel="external" href="http://aksioma.org/" target="_blank">Aksioma</a> (Slovenia), <a rel="external" href="http://drugo-more.hr/" target="_blank">Drugo More</a> (Croatia), <a rel="external" href="https://www.furtherfield.org/" target="_blank">Furtherfield</a> (<wbr>UK), <a rel="external" href="http://networkcultures.org/" target="_blank">Institute of Network Cultures</a> (Netherlands)
and <a rel="external" href="http://www.neme.org" target="_blank">NeMe</a> (Cyprus) together with a
range of artists, curators, theorists and audiences.</p>
<p>Every time a smartphone powers up, their user is
tied inextricably into data, laws and flowing bytes to
different countries. Their every personal expression is
framed and mediated by digital platforms which now include
those operating new kinds of currencies, financial exchange,
and labour relations that bypass corporations and
governments.</p>
<p>Meanwhile these same technologies increase
governmental powers of surveillance, allow corporations to
extract ever more complex working arrangements, and,
although seemingly the epitome of globalization, they do
little to slow the construction of actual walls along actual
borders.</p>
<p>We ask how might the digital subjects of today
become active, engaged, and effective digital citizens of
tomorrow?</p>
<p>State Machines now launches an open call for a new
commissioned artistic project.</p>

bodies, places and infrastructure</li>

information and finance by governments, private companies

media – algorithmic and human corruption and its
counterforces;</li>
